guilty and the observance Of timehonored usage
The governor, we hear, exhorts every citizen TO
bide patiently, aud things will all come out salts
factorily. We heartily trust he is sincere. But
there are some who are shy of his fair promises,
and say: Ti1neO DdHGOs et d0nd ferelteS.
If Governor WarmOth acts like a man of sense,
and a statesman looking forward TO the future, as
well as acting for the present emergency, the
CRESCENT shall be among the first to give him the
credit due 10 his sagaciy and honesty OF purpose.
But we shall continue to keep vigilsnt watch
upon his official course and, without fear or the
desire of favor, be severe or cOnciliatory as his
course may deserve.
REISsTATED AND RE-ELEcTED.-The people of
this city will be gTatifed with the tidings that
Louis Power has been placed in the position to
which he was recently elected by considerable
majority Of the votes polled in the parish of
Orleans. in 1865, Colonel Power was elected
clerk of the Fifth District Court. He filled the
Office faithfully and well-so well and so faith.
fully, indeed that General Sheridan deemed it ex.
pedient to remove him for "mafeasance.n What
that malfeasance was the general never conde-
scended 10 state in public. At the late election
Col. Power was nominated a second time, by the
Democratic convention for the same Office, and
was triumphanty reelected. The people have
thus given their fat as to the injustice OF Gen.
Sheridans decision in bis case, and it is a vndi.
cation of the peoples voice that has caused him
TO be reinstated unsullied in reputation and
more than compensated for the temporary loss
Of the place and its emoluments.
In common with our fellow citizens we re.
iOice in Col. Powers return to the position
which he is so competent to fill.
THE CLERK of the Fifth District Court has ap.
pointed AdolPhe Dupre, Esq, his minute CLERK.
The appointment is good one.
Born CoRoNERs had holiday yesterday SO far
as any inquests were to be held.
The sTAUYCH DEMOCRATS of one OF the Fourth
District wards met last night in assembly, and
formed the largest gathering the old Fourth has
ever seen. Nor were they more numerous than
respectable. Such men as Jas. Burnside, Michel
Musson, II. c.. Bond, AMI scores OF others Of the
first citizens Of Louisiana, were present. ResolI-
tons were passed 10 meet the members Of the
other ward in procession to morrow night, with
music, banners and transparencies, and TO march
down with them and join in tie great ratification
meeting and procession. The old Fourth District
gave our party a large majority al the late cleo
ton, aud her gallant citizens not yet weary of
the good work. All honor 70 the Fourth District
and her noble Democratic citizens.
WE LEARN from a dispatch in a Western paper
that George Mauck, an employe in the POstofice
in this CITY, has been arrested 10 ST. Louis by the
United States marshal for Missouri, charged with
atscOnding hence with six thOussnd dollars in
money and JeWelTy-a portion of which was found
on his person when arrested. hauck is to be sent
back TO this city for trial before the United States
Court.
THE TEMPERATURES yesterday, as shown by the
%
Canal street, was as follows: At A. N. rs de.
gTees; II N. So; Pm. 81 6 P. NJ. Sc.
We ARE in receipt Of complimentary tickets to
an exhibition by the pupils of ST. Peters School,
Mareny street, between Greatmen and Casacalvo,
this evening at halfpast o'clock.
Mr.. DEsDUNEs secretary, has sent Us an invi.
tatiCn TO be present at the monthly meeting of
the Board of Public Schools this evening.
So GREAT is the anxiety of the negroes for po-
sitions in State and municipal Offices that it is
almost impossible for steamboats, TO get hands TO
load or unload, or to engage on a river trip. The
leyee is deserted by the gangs, both male apd
female, that Hssd - eeuSTvSatU dHd bar up the
passage way on that mart Of commerce, and
they are all now in the habit OF loungng about
the neighborhO0d OF The State House. Whether
it is the intense desire Of witnessing the session
Of a Seuate presided over by one of their own
race, or the no less intense eagerness to procure
an Office, il is hard to say: but steamboat men
complain that the negroes wont work.
FIFTH DISTRICT COURT.-Yesterday forenoon
as Judge beaumont took his seat in this court,
Louis Power Esq, attended by his counsel, APP
peared and presented his oath of Office and his
oath as required by the 99th article of the new
State Constitution together with mis- official bond
duly approved and registered. The court, being
satisfied with the documents produced, and that
the motion Of Mr.. Powers counsel TO have him
sworn in as clerk was well founded, aud that sill
the requirements of the law had been fnlflled, ad
IuukGu iIhi TIC UlucE r A. hOUlucg
Esq, provisional clerk, be rescnded and annulled,
and said Louis Power recognized and appointed
clerk Of the Fifth District Court for the parish Of
Orleans. All of which was duly spread upon the
minutes.
SEVENTH DISTRICT COUET.-At meridian yes.
terday, the Hon. L. W. COllens, Judge of the
Seventh District Court, called on the civil sheriff
orepair with him to the court room Of the Fourth
District Court. for the purpose Of inaugurating the
Seventh District Court aforesaid. Judge COllens
took his seat on the bench Of the Fourth District
Court, and read the appropriate military orders,
as well as his oath of Office. The sheriff then
opened court in manner and form prescribed by
law. After this Mr.. A. D. Bernoudy, recently
elected clerk of the Seventh District Court, pro-
duced his commission from the governor, was
sworn, and named Gaspard James as his minute
clerk who, together with Mr.. Bernoudy, was duly
qualified.
II is uncertain where the Seventh Court will
be located. The old lumber room between the
hire and Fourth Courts is spoken Of, but that
room Is very close and small, and altogether unfit
fer such purpose. We believe Judge { olens is
anxious TO obtain 2 location in the same building
with the First District Court and the recorder 5
Office Of the Second District. There certainly is
a great deal more room in that editce.
eECoNn DIsTRICT.-There was nothing Of the
least interest TO the public in the transactions of
the Second District yesterday. Only few arrests
Of ordinary consequence, such as drunkenness,
assault and battery, and violations of city ordi-
nanCes.
