persons were boisterous, and raising such
terrible noise as to make night hideous.
About the time he arrived there he heard
that a man named Thomas Looney had
fatally wounded Lawrence Collins, where
upon all the men found in the room wers
arrested, but Looney had escaped in the
meantime. Recorder Becker committed
the entire crowd to prison without priv:
lege of bail. The wounded man was sent
to Charity Hospital for surgical treatment,
and the supposition is that he will die.
THIRD DISTRICT CoURT.-Judge Emer-
son yesterday opened this court and was
about to proceed to business when excep.
ton was taken to his authority, as it was
considered he no longer holds the position
qualifedly under our new constitution
since the Legislature has adopted the four
teenth amendment. Article eighty-three OF
the new constitution defines the jurisdiction
of seven District Courts, which, in sub.
stance, abolishes the courts as previously
constituted. Judge Emerson continued the
cases in hand, although he considered him
self authorized to continue. Business OF
this tribunal is suspended until the judge
shall be commissioned under the new state
Of affairs.

the Legislature in question.

ANOTHER YOUNG MAN DROWNED
fact that newspapers frequently record
instances of persons being drowned in the
river in an unaccountable manner seems
to have no warning influence for others.
We are now called on to chronicle the Jun
fortunate circumstance that Adolphe De
Blanc, son of widow De Blanc, was drowned
in the Mississippi about five miles below
Algiers, last Saturday. He was either lost
by cramps or else became powerless in an
undercurrent. His brother was bathing
with him at the time, but was powerless to
save the life of Adolphe, who is said to have
been very promising youth.

workhouse from the Fourth District Re

Coleman had been caught in an unoccupied

away his plumber. Recently he has been
seen lettering around the same house under
suspicious circumstances. When question

workhouse only one day. How he was r

was the complainant.
Charles Hoffman, alias Robert Anderson
or Henderson, is in trouble simply because
he carelessly stole horse, buggy, and har-
ness from Mr.. g. B. Mack, No. Ito Rampant
street, on the thirteenth ult. This property,
it is asserted, he disposed Of, and then
stole another and similar establishment from
some one in Carrollton. Special Officer
DOGGY went after the fellow ando caught
him in the parish of Ascension, where he
was temporarily lodged in jail, but after
ward brought down here especially on the
accusation made by Mr.. Mack. Butyester-
day an officer from Carrollton applied for
and obtained the corpus of the prisoner.
After trial in the parish of Jefferson he will
be sent back to officer DOGGY, who has ex-
pended nearly $50 to secure the prisoner,
when Judge Gastinel will investigate him.
Judge Gastinel has returned to his bench,
looking quite rejuvenated. .

arm shattered TO the socket. His gal
lantry procured his full and immpdiat,
pardon, and although his civil charac
ter might be irretrievable, he at least ex
tenuated his conduct as a soldier. Here
ends our knowledge of Peckworth, and
OF his subsequent career. Whether h.
and his injured wife ever became recon.
clied, is mystery to us. If he returned
to his home and manifested the same
contrition and reformation that he did
as soldier, there is not the least doubt
but what his wife gave him an affection
ate amnesty from all iufde!ity in the
past.
Althouh the peril to which Af..---s-en
eIon had been subjected, was terrible
shock to her senslbili'y and delicacy of
honor; yet the consciousness of her in
nocence, and the kind sympathy of
friends, soon restored her quondam spir-
its and cheerfulness. The tact of having
escaped so dreadful an alliance by such
timely interposition, made her thank
ful to kind heaven for its providence
and protection.
Now kind reader we are about bid
ding you adieu. But permit us to say
before closing, that this is no fancy
sketch; the facts transpired within our
own knowledge, and can be corroborated
oy a score of witnesses. And we would

A RADICAL DoDGE.-We copy as

A negro Lacquer made the following
statement to one of our citizens: That
whenever a negro is admitted to the

his initiation fee he IS required to de-
poslt three dollars to be turned over to
one DIR. American, the Federal Surgeon

least one thousand or fifteen hundred

head, have yielded a very hansome lit

Coleman, SO as to gain his (Coleman's)
aid in making the assessment, in which

able he came to the conclusion that a
cross-examination at the hands of Mr..
Stanbury and Judge Black would not be
very agreeable catechism, and that his
object had been gained by keeping Gen.
Thomas out Of the War Office. Perhaps,
too, he thought that there might be some
difficulty in proving the first averment
In his affidavit, which is that he (Stan-
ton) on the day OF its date was Secreta-
ry OF War. The highest evidence of that
fact would be his written commission IN
der the signature of the President, doc
ument Mr. Stanton does not happen ever
to have possessed, as hehas merely been
suffered to act as Secretary OF War, hold
ing over on his old appointment from Mr..
Lincoln. The presumption of his official
character which, previous to his suspen-
sion, the Court would perhaps have rec

esident. The gist und essence of his
avlt was that he was Secretary OF

United States hold under written COM

ticer can not be provea legally by any
vidence othersthan the production OF the
commission unless there be sufficient rea-
on for not producing it, for otherwise
he presumption would be. that if pro.

LINES TO FAV0RITE.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.


I stray alone amid this calm o
And shadowy lght-on the air
Comes evenings low, mysterious psalm,
AS solemn as the voice of prayer.
Oh, as these sounds my sorrows lull,
Ny soul, from earth's dark fetters free,
Goes forth to greet the beautiful,
Flying on Loves dear wings to thee.
Oh thou to me art very dear,
love thy soft and high control,
And all thy tones so sweet and clear
Are blessed music to my soul.
Thou art my star amid the dark,
My sunbow on the tempest's brow.
My young dove of life's wandering ark
TO bring to me Loves olive bough.
May y'st thou e'er be as now thou art,
May life thy every hope fulfill,
And no springs gush within thy heart
That time or grief to ice can chill.
May'st thou ne'er know earth's bitter tears
May'st thou escape its every strife,
And all the day-springs of thy years \
Redden with glory in thy life.

McCIernand-1sO3.

ONE of the men who figured conspicu-
ously in the Copperhead gathering re-
Gently held in New York, as Conserva-
tive soldier, was General McClernand, OF
Illinois. In his speeches he assailed the
Republican party, charging II with failing
to restore the Union, because IL did not
consent to readmit at once and without
conditions, the Southern States to repre-
sentation in Congress-
In 1868 this General McClernand called
himself War Democrat. He then avowed
sentiments on the subject of reconstruc-
tion in entire harmony with the Republi-
can party and consistent with its action
since on that subject. In evidence of this
assertion we subjoin an extract from a
speech made by General McClernand at a
State Convention of War Democrats of
Wisconsin, which he had been invited to
attend, and which was held in GAINESVILLE,
September II, 1868. He then used the fol-
lowing language:
"AsI have said that slavery should not
stand In the way of the Union, so / say
that States should not stand in the way,
because the national integrity is essential
to our peace. The more you think Of this,
the clearer 1t will become. II pupilage Is
necessary before thege revolted States can
return into the Union as States, give them
pupilage. [Cries of GOOD, good."l

and rehewthe odd difIieulties again within

the attempted Crittenden compromise, &c,
