their money for others, our citizens owe
a debt OF. gratitude not easily cancelled.
The amount Of real hard work In an affair
such as that just over can be estimated
properly only by those who have had experience
in the art of wearing themselves out 10 order to
get money to give to other people. Nor have our
citizens been at all remiss In holding up the hands
of the managers of the fete. Each day has seen
an attendance on the grounds as large as could be
expected, and on several occasions a much
greater crowd than anticipated have assembled to
witness the amusements. The estimate was
made to us by one OF the managers, who
should be well posted, that the net receipts
from admission fees alone would sum up TO $4,000
or SIS coo. We presume, however, that pub
lished statement of the result of the affair viii
soon inform the public as TO the extent of its
financial success. How can we better close than
with the statement to our fair readers that there
are rumors-rumors 80 many that something must
surely be meant by them-that this week is to
occur another entertainment similar to the one
recently given by the Metsirie. We know not il
that 1t will certainly come off; but even If II do
not, the knowledge that it may take place will be
pleasant TO think about. So having said some-
thing sweet at parting, we throw our pen aside,
with the hope, however. that not much time will
elapse before we again take it up to describe
something else that shall be (f that is possible)
IS full OF keen enjoyment as has been the Fete
CbampeIe.

Deeember Term, 1867.

The 81. Louis Street Foundry, etc., Geo. Gro
nan, Claimant, Appellant, vs.. the United States.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
MIR. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion OF
the court.
This case is not dstiDguishable In principle
from those just decided. 1t appears from the re.
cord that Cronan, in the Circuit Court, pleaded
the amnesty proclaimed By President Lincoln on
the Sth December, 1868, and the oath taken by
himself in pursuance of the proclamation. In this
plea there was no averment that Cronan was not
within any of the exceptions made by the procla.
nation, and it was, therefore, properly overruled.
Upon proper pleading and proof, however, the
claimant of property seized under the act of Au-
gust 9th, 1861, is entitled TO the benefit of am.
nesty to the same extent as under like pleading
and proof he would be entitled to the benefit OF
pardon.
The decree of the Circuit Court must be re-
versed as irregular, and the cause remanded with
directions to allow a new trial, the proceedings in
which shall be conformed, In respect to trial by
jury and exceptions to evidence, to the course of
The common law.

LITTLE WoxES.-The little woman Is irrepres-
sible. Too fragile to come into the fighting sec
ton of humanity, puny creature whom one blow
from mans huge fist could annihilate, abso-
lutely fearless, and insolent with the insolence
which only those dare show who know that retri-
button cannot follow-what can be done with her
no one. Sheltered behind her weakness as behind
triple shield Of brass, the angriest man dare not
touch her, while she provokes him to a combat in
which bis hands are tied. She gets her own way
in everything and everywhere. At home and
abroad she is equally dominant and irrepressble,
equally free from obedience and from fear.
