EFFICIENCY OF POLICE DETECTIVES.
Stolen Goods Receiver Arrested
LOOT" AT suptRN1ENDEN1's OFFICE.
OWNERS OF PROPERTY RECOGNIZE 1T,

In consequence of disclosures made By
one of the parties arrested for participation
in the Carondelet street tailor's shop rob-
berry, Special Officers Barrett, Fuentes and
Keating searched the Epremises, last night,
of L. Helms, on Gravier street, nearly op.
posite Rogers's stable, and discovered a
vast amount of plunder, known to have
been stolen.
Helms was arrested, and last nigh. and
this morning the officers removed from the
Gravier street fence umbrellas, canes, rough
dried clothes, vest patterns, oyercoats,
shirts, piano covers, dentists tools, and
many other articles too numerous to men,
ton. Several ladies were at the Superin-
tendent's office this morning and recognized
many of these articles as their own.
The establishment of Helms, who has
kept on Gravier street about two years, has
been suspected and he has been arrested
during that period. But now the evidence
against him is sufficient to convict him of
being receiver OF stolen goods. The police
had no idea that it was such huge recep.
tacle of stolen property. 1t has proved to
be literally den of thieves's plunder
The officers mentioned are entitled to
credit for these discoveries and arrests.

HOMICIDE IN OsYKA.

Two Versions of the Tragedy.
From gentlemen just arrived in the city
the Times learns that on Monday last the
quiet town of Osyka was thrown into
state Of excitement by the murder of
young man named Marcus Myers, quiet,
inoffensive gentleman, beloved by his COM
panions and acquaintances. The report
brought US is thai he was killed by Charles
H.Allen, the agent for the New Orleans, jack
son and Great Northern railroad, and the
friends of the deceased characterize it as "a
wantOn and cold act of murder, without
any just provocation." On Tuesday coron-
er's inquest was held by Justices Bickham
and Traube, and after hearing the testimony
the accused was committed TO Jail without
bail. The deceased was cut down in the
prime of life, and was suddenly called to
meet death. His remains have arrived in
this city for interment.
Some of the friends of Mr.. Allen, give the
following version of the difficulty:
1t appears that previous to the homicidal
meeting there had been difficulty between
AIR. Myers and nephew of Mr.. Allen. The
latter had, in fact, been assaulted by Mr.
Myers two or three times. On the day upon
which the homicide took place, the nephew,
working in the same Office with Mr., Allen.
reported the affair to him. Ttereupon Mr..
Alien went into the street to make some in
qulry into the matter, but did not at anv
time go in search of Mr.. Myers.
The meeting took place near the store of
Myers, and near this Mr.. Allen had been
standing in conversation with some friends,
While Mr.. Allen was thus occupied, Mr..
Myers came and stood upon the steps of his
store.
Mr.. Allen then said to him: "I suppose
you feel as though you are large enough to
whip me-" Myers replied: 5" had Just as
lief fight you as anybody else." He there
upon drew his pistol, and the firing COM
menced between them. The first shot was
fired by Mr.. Myers. He then retreated to
his store, and was followed up by Mr.. Allen.
1t was then that the homicide was com
mitted. The whole difficulty occupied less
time than it takes TO make the narration.
Mr.. Allen, the accused, is a gentleman
highly connected. and has been we'll known
as an employe of the Jackson railroad for
the last fifteen years.

A st. Mary Market stnlI.

The Times reports the following somewhat
novel case:
That the relation of the city to stall
owner in a market is one of landlord and
tenant was pronounced by Judge Cooley in
the case OF Louis Bartel suing the city of
New Orleans. Bartel asked the Sixth Dis
trict Court for an Injunction to restrain Jean
Dubarry and Joseph Barere from breaking
down or obstructing the free use of the
extension made to stall No. 2 in St. Mary's
market, and the injunction issued. Barere
answered that Bartel had sold him stall No,
4, (the latter being tine. owner of stall Nos.
and ~, for nine hundred dollars in cash /;
and they further retort by saying that the
wing which Bartel had put to his stall had
etfectually closed the passage-way, and in
doing this damaged stall No. 4, adjoining
No. 2, by shutting out the public. Jean
Dubarry steps in and says he made the ad-
jition to stall No. in obedience to an
ordinance of the Council. Barere also plead
III another answer that the plaintiff who
sold him the stall No. 4 had ''gone baoknon
the terms Of sale, that he promised not TO
sell beef on stall No. 2, and he broke his
promise. Barere then asked that the stall
be broken down. Braughn and Ogden for
the plaintiff; Sambola aud Ducross for Ba.
rere. Two newspapers are filed in evidence,
one of which contains the report of the
Surveyor, who found no objection to the x.
sion granted by the Council to extend the
same.
The amount of the whole contest is that
it is quarrel between the one who bought
a stall and the one who sold il, Occasioned
by the fact that the one who sold it made q ]
"wingn to the same which sadly interfered |
with the free use of the stall he had sold.
Judge Cooley dismissed the Injunction |
which stopped Dubarry from breaking down |
the extension to stall No. 2.
He construed the relation Of Bartel and |
Barere to be that of seller and buyer-the |
seller bound to do no injury to the thing |
purchased. In regard to the Council, the
Judge held the relation of Barere with
them was that OF lessee and lessor-tenant
and landlord, and as it was well settled that
landlord who had rented out premises
could By any alteration detract from their
value. the Council could not give permis-
sion for the extension of the stall. as it
would infict an injury, and they sRere
Obliged to maintain the stalls in the same |
condition as when they were leased. The /
case Is uuappealable and the s,EiDg" will |
have to be broken down by jean DubRrry, |

TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS JUDGMENT
Case in Court.

A judgment for twenty thousand dollars
in favor of firm that went security. was
pronounced by Judge Cooley in the case of
Levi d Dieter VS.. Theodore B. Dubois, Ed
ward R. Lowe and q. Foley, joint owners
OF the steamship Minnetonka. This is the
TimeS'S report:
1t appears that Levi & Dieter sue the
owners of the steamship for twenty thou
sand eight hundred and eight dollars, ad-
vanced at the instance of these owners for
the disbursement of the steamship by Al
pheus Hardy d Co., of Boston, from the
twentysecond OF May. 1866, to the TWEEN.
t1eth OF December, 1867, for which amount
OF advances the petitioners went security.
and the owners failing to pay to the firm
who advanced this sum, the petitioners
were obliged to pay it as sureties.
Foley, one of the owners, filed separate
answer, saying that the Merchants Towboat
Company was the owner of third of the
Minnetonka, of which the other two.thirds
were owned by Dubois & Lowe. The steam
ship had been sold by Levi & Dieter, and
the Merchants Towboat Company was liable
only for one-third of the vessel.
The remainder of the answer served the
purpose OF an exception to the action.
Judgment was rendered by the court. that
the firm OF Levi a. Dieter, in liquidation, re-
cover OF the defendants owners OF the steam
ship the sum claimed legal interest from the
twentieth December, 1867,

THE GREAT ARMY REUNION.
LARGE ATTENDANCE CERTAIN
Proeramme for ruesday.

CHICAGO, DECEMBER l3.-The local COM
mittee are very busy in their preparations
for the great army reunion, which is to

ESTATE OF LAURENT MILLAUDON


Fx0miuing the Executors Accounts
The Times reports the following:
The rule to show cause why the order
homologating the account fled by the ex-
ecutors of the estate of Laurent Millaudon
should not be set aside, having been taken
in the Second District Court by Madame
GaSdanne, one of the heirs of the deceased,
was opposed by the executors, Henry Q.
and Benjamin L. Millaudon in an exception
which Judge Duvigneaud yesterday dis
missed in the following opinion:
The rule is taken to set aside the order of
homologatlon, on the ground that on the
10th of November last, before the expiration
OF the ten days required by law for homulo-
Cation, the plaintiff in rule has obtained, on
proper showing, an extension of two days
for the purpose of examining the account.
The executors except to the mode of pro.
ceeding, and pray for the dismissal of the
rule on the ground that the order sought to
BE- annuled, in case of irregularity in the
service of citation, ought to be by direct
action and not by rule.
Article 1857 of the Civil Code does not
apply to this case. The Supreme Court has
construed that article as appl, ing to cred
itors and legaiees alone. Heirs must be
regularly cited by the clerk of the court, ard
served with copy of the account, in order
to atf.! .!rd them opportunity for complete
examination.
Mrs. Gardanne has obtained from the
court, before the homo,ogation of the ac.
count, an extension of ten days for examina-
ton, which the court was authorized to do
under articles 3l4, 547, G. P.
BY the nature of its paternal jurisdiction,
this court has great discretionary power,
which 1t ought to exercise according to its
judgment when convinced it is in further.
ance of justice and equity.
Decree dismissing the exception.
The estate of which Laurent LIillaudon
died possessed amounted to very large
sum according to the various inventories
filed. Besides, the lands were broad and
were owned in various parishes, as fol-

WASHINGTON, December II, 1868.
In the House to-day number of euloges
were delivered on the character and public
services of the late Thaddeus Stevens.
Some of them were remarkable for elaborate
finish and the most moving eloquence.
Sypher was the youngest member who
spoke, and made what he considered
tremendous effort. His aliusion to the suf-
ferings of Southern loyalists and freedmen,
concerning which he claimed to know
great deal, was boasted of by him and his
friends as rare specimen of eloauence.
Applications are pouring into the Presi.
dents desk for the position now held by
Tisdale. 7. S. johnson of New Orleans,
is well backed for the Office. True Republi-
cans now refrain from making any spplica-
tiens for Office under Andy, considering it
might iDjure them with the next admins
tration.
Ernest Bouligny, Internal Revenue Collec.
tor at Baton Rouge, it seems is no better than
others of the whisky ring. His deposits in
the sub-treasury at New Orleans are seven
ty-6ve thousand dollars short.
He will certainly be removed.
Among the most prominent patriots
anxious for the fat place now held
by General Steedman are Mr.. Lup-
ton, of Tennessee, Mr.. Crane, of Mis-
souri,, and Colonel Edmonson, OF levee
b )ard notoriety. The President does not
fancy any of the present candidates.
Mr.. Menard received his credentials last
night. They will be presented tomorrow.
He says he will be sworn in az a member
Immediately, but Colonel Jones denies this.
Menard is in favor of allowing Jones mile
age. At all events, Menard will now remain
here to see the end of this affair.
George F. Brott, John Ray, Frank Morey,
DR.. Noyes, and last and most comical, Caleb
s. Hunt, are here.
The desire to divide Louisiana into two
Judicial Districts, besides being based on
convenience and expediency, is furthered
by parties who complain of the manner of
conducting the bankruptcy business at New
Orleans. The members from Louisiana are
committed to the proposed change.
