An Interesting Case.

The New Orleans Picayune gives
US the following notice of an inte-
resting case, the State Of Louisiana
vs.. the Louisiana State Bank, in
which B. T. Butler figures as a
banker and cotton broker:
This important suit came on III this
court yesterday, after a suspension
by military authority since 1868.
Previous to the military occupation
of New Orleans, the State had depo-
sited in the said bank large sums of
! money, the State claiming g balance
in April, 1862, of $462, 1928. At
the instigation of Gen. Shepley. and
by authority of Gen. Butler, it was
agreed that this sum should be in
vested in cotton within the lines of
Confederate military occupation, and
accordingly some 5000 bales were
purchased and brought to New Or
leans.
The State, alleging that tho bank
was under pretended liquidation,
and that it had fears the agents of the
bank would dispose of said cotton,
obtained writ of sequestration. In
June, 1868, Gen. Butler, satisfied
that the bank was in liquidation,
ordered its assets ''to be converted
into cash as speedily as possible" A
board of liquidators were appointed
for the bank, and the cotton seized
and turned over to them.
The State now renews its suit for
the sum above claimed The bank
sets up that the apparent balance to
the credit of the State grew out of
the purchase of $1,075, 900 worth of
war bonds, issued by the State, which
the bank was compelled to make at
the time, for the purpose Of carrying
on the war against the United States,
which was illegal and void; that the
bonds were delivered up to General
Candy, and have become entirely
useless. That the cotton was after
wards sold by Gen. Candy as ''cap-
tured property" and the proceeds
held by the bank under special or
der, and that the State has no claim
to it.
A large array of counsel appeared
IN court, representing the parties,
but the case was continued until next
Wednesday, on account of absent
witnesses.

months, was one of the most miserable
creatures you ever beheld, not being able
either to eat, drink or sleep, and was COM
PEELED to walk the floor incessantly. was
nearly deprived of my reason, and hope
had entirely left me. all the efforts made
for my recovery having proved fruitles<s.
BY the first of November, 1865, 1 had
become so weak and feeble that I could
scarcely stai.d alone, and, to all appear
ance, would soon die. At this time, (hav-
ing read your advertisement,) my wife
prevailed upon me to try your Bitters. A
bottle was procured, and, strange to say,
l soon commenced recovering. 1 have
taken four bottles, and am enjoying as
good health now as could be expected for
one of my age, (about sixty years.)

alone, under Divino Providence, that
Effected this wonderful cure.
