q more under the organizate of the So-ca,led
Confederate States. :
al Your petitioner J. NJ. Davis was dnIv
qualified and lawfully Elected civil Sheriff Of Par
sh of Orisans from the fact of having received
The highest legal vote all Of which your petitioner

neur, Henry Bonseigneur. l.. A. 6naer, Albert
Bertonnesu, E. Dumas, j. B. Jourdain, W. G.
kensella, and half dozen others, several OF
whom were numbered amcng the distinguished
statesmen that formed the convention which
framed the present Constitution of tho once great
State of louisiana
Captain Maxwell was a gallant and tried sol.
oier of the Southern cause during the whole OF
the late war; bnt he must have been q worse
enemy of the federal cause than the savage In
dian on the praires if his hostility was as ire
pressible as Mr.. Daviss appears to be against the
English language and what is generally consid-
cred as logic, good grammar and legal usage.
William Weber contests Judge Jsckson's
election as recorder. His petition occupies
seven closely written pages, and is too long
entirely. too dihuse and uninteresting to be
transcribed into our local column. The pc
tiion is great deal better written than
Mr.. ]. M. Davs's against Mr.. MAXWELL the sheriff
elect but it still has radical defect which it is
not cur duty TO mention for the petitioners bene-
ht bot which is destined, without q doubt, to
throw the pet1on out OF court. Strange that
men who etplaees In courts of law should be
so totally and ridiculously ignorant of the first
ideas and principles in law practice! If their
claims should prove just, are they 6t to be in
trusted with the custody Of judicial archives, the
execution Of mandates, or with the ermine of a
presiding magistrate?
SECOND DISTRICT REcoRDER's COURTS. p.
Salomon and Alexander Dalsheimer were each
placed under bonds OF $3.50 to keep the peace.
The difficulty between them arose in the Fifth
District Court, on Friday. Mr.. Dslsheimer is the
husband of Mr.. salomOn's daughter, and had
been sued for divorce in that court. The case
came OF on Friday for a hearing, when Mr.. ID.
attempted % carry away his infant child very
beautiful little girl, some year or two old. The
scene was a very startling and pathetic one, and
We regret not having been present at the time OF
the occurrence. As il was, Mr.. Salomon drew a
pistol upon Mr.. Dslsheimer, but it did not ex-
plOde. The baby was borne hurriedly into the
Second District Police Station by the father,
closely pursued by the grandfather. Here both
parties we're arrested, placed under bonds, and
mother.
James Druil was arrested last night for being
drunk, bslloing murder" and attempting TO
crown himself in the shallow moat of the old for

Parish Prison for twenty days.
Annice and Ally Bean, colored,' were fined IS
each, or they were TO be confined twenty hours
in the Parish Prison for neglecting the summons
TO appear in court.
L. shotlander was arrested, yesterday, at the
instance of II. Routh, for breach Of trust and re-
leased under bonds.
