COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS AND COMMON
PLzAs-HoN. zEpHAS1AH PLATT, PREsmNa.-
May 6.--The case Of the State vs. Jefferson
Lee, for horse stealing or larceny under the
statute, was resumed and the arguments con.
cluded. After charge from the Judge the
jury retired, and after short absence returned
verdict Of guilty on the second count-bresch
Of trust.
The case Of the State vs. Wade Tbimbles
and James Mcqueen, both cases for attempt
to deiraud oy cheating with the strap game.
From the evidence elected it appeared that
young man named Fielder, q resident Of Sum.
merville, had visited the city for the purpose
ofpurchasing supplies, and while here was ac-
costed by the prisoners, who offered to sell
him sho. gun cheap. The bait took, and
Fielder accompanied them to house in Soci-
ety-street, but found that the gun was locked
up and was told to wait until the mother Of the
prisoners came, when it could be seen. In the
meantime, Thinables produced strap, and,
with the assistance Of Mcqueen, explained the
mysteries Of the game to the astonished Fell
der. BE thought he saw it and bet S., which
was lost; but the betting and losing continued
until $50, his entire pile, had melted away.
Fielder left sadder, but wiser man, and In
forming the detectives Of the,occurrence, the
pair of cheats were soon caught and held over
for trial. The trial was not concluded at the
adjournment Of the court-it will be resumed
to-day.

trouble of reaching them, but i'nary one"
had sticking plaster enough in his compost
ton to succeed. .is
Another source Of fun was race between
ten or twelve boys, who were furnished with
saucers filed with brown sugar and spoon.
HALF dollar was :. offered to the gour-
mand who would gobble up his sugar first,
and, as the reader may well imagine, before
the performance was finished, the crowd was
in hysterical condition that found vent IN
cachination which ran the whole gamut OF
explosives, from an incipient te-he-he to the
most tremendous ha-ha-ha.
Another source Of fun was the attempt made
by sundry little freedmen to seize hve-cent
pieces in the bottom OF big bowl full OF
molasses. Some of them succeeded, but when
they came out, it Was with physiognomies
which bore very correct resemblance to
highly polished mahogany. How the people
did laugh!
Still another entertainment was sack race;
and if ever a human being won deserved ap-
probation, it was for the energy and elasticity
with which the fellows turned their bodies into
India rubber balls and bounded towards the
goal.
The fun to-day will be diversified and not
less attractive. A blind bear race will proba-
bly, be among the amusements. The mod4s
operondi Of this performance is to blindfold

THE CITY FINANCES.

Not long ago an article on the SUBJECT of
the city finances appeared on the French side
of our contemporary, the Bee, which attracted
the attention of all thoughtful persons who
had an opportunity to read it. 1t suggested
plan which, although not positively new, is
certainly new in this country-a plan which
is based on well ascertained principles of
finance, and which brings to its aid, in order
to assure success, an element hitherto
entirely overlooked in all of our schemes for
the redemption of the city credit. A transla-
ton of that article appears in the CRESCENT
this morning. We hope that all of our read
ers will attentively peruse and consider it,
and that they will not turn from it because
the project to which it refers appears so diff
ferent from anything which has heretofore
been presented to them. 1t would be a great
mistake to presume that because an enter
prise wears the appearance of novelty,
it must necessarily, be charlatanical,
or, at least, empirical. If, indeed,
our financial troubles could be cured by any
of the familiar methods which have been so
often tried, we should have little difficulty in
solving the problem. 1t is precisely because
we have no confidence in the methods with
which we are familiar, and which we have
tried, that we are compelled to resort to I'M
familiar and untried expedients What is
necessary, is that any plan we may adopt
shall be based on sound principles; and this,
we are sure, is the case with the one now
offered to the public. We may state, too, that
it has already been tried, with complete sue
cess, in many European cities; and thus it has
experience as well as theory to recommend it.
In another article we shall take occasion to
explain the project more fully. In the mean
time we hope that no one will fail to read the
translation which appears in this mornings

EXCURSIONS ON THE RIvER.-This warm
weather gives additional interest to the an
nouncement made in another column that
to-day, and every Sunday hereafter until fur
ther notice, the fast and comfortable steamer
A. G. Brown will make excursion trips from
the foot of Canal street to Carrollton, leaving
at l, and 5 o'clock, and returning at 2, 4
and O'Clock, touching both ways at the
Stock Landing, Washington street, Gretna.
Jackson street and all other accessible
wharves, when desired. To breathe the free
air, feel the fresh, cool breeze, view at a
glance the city and suburbs, and, above all,
enjoy for awhile freedom from the dust and
noise of the crowded streets, are certainly at
fractions enough to tempt one on these
pleasant Sunday afternoons.

The many friends in Kentucky of this peerless

residence in Louisville, and il affords US no little
pleasure 10 announce 10 the readers Of the Courier
that they are hereafter TO have the benefit of his

the while retained his citizenship in Louisville.
So soon he can close his business South, which
will be within few weeks, he will return here
with his family and al once assume his duties 10
the editorial rooms of the Courier, 20 which paper
he will thereafter give his entire time and at

The readers of the CRESCENT, during the
few months succeeding its revival, can bear
witness that the encomiums bestowed on Gen.
Buckner by the Courier, are well merited.
We congratulate that paper on its good for.

and versatile pen as that which is welded
by our former associate. New Orleans re-
grets to lose Gen. Buckner, but our loss viii
