llulnOr with Grave COunsclOrs.

Considering the gravity of tho
subject, the OCCASION and tho par
ties, that was very amusing dis
cussion which occurred few days
ago in tho U.s. District Court in
this city, between two Of our ablcst
counselors and most distinguished
ex,judgcs. We refer to two gcntlo-
men who were ornaments to tho
Supreme bench in louisiana in its
palmy days-Chief Justice Merrick
and Judge Spotlord. Remembering
what this bench then was, and what
it now is, produces emotions about
as wrctchcd and despairing as those
Of tho unhappy Hamlet when he
compelled his conscience stricken
mother to
"Look on this picture and on this"
But to our scene
Judge Merrick and Spofford were
engaged on opposite sides which in
volvcd u vcry-nicc and interesting
question of the construction of u
mortgage given in Mississippi to bo
executed in louisiana.
Judge Spoiford in sustaining his
position quoted a very able opinion
of our Supreme Court, rendered somo
years ago, which appeared to cover
his position perfectly and seemed
somewhat to disturb his adversary,
who, in an apparent hard strait, in
quired who rendered that descsion2
"The late Chief Justice Mcrrick,"
answered Judge Spoilord with un-
disturbed gravity.
His opponent, with faint smile,
set to work ovcrhaulng the large
pile of books on his table, and when
it came to his time to reply arose
and read an admirably written de-
cision fully confirming his position
in the argument, from one of tho
volumes of louisiana Reports.
Judge Spoford interrupted his
learned brother TO inquire which of
the Supreme Courts had given that
decision.
"Thc late Judge Spofford, was
the quick response of his adroit old
confrcrc and present adversary, with
rather an increase oflris Usual grav.
ity and solemnity of visagc. The
gentlemen of the bar and the Off
GERS of the court, however, did not
regard the intcrludc with like grav-
ity, but were greatly diverted by
this proof of the mutabitiiy of the
iudrcu. cnts and views of two of our
sagcst counselors.-tN. o. Times.

There are some hints that the
Convention at Austin will not ar
range for the general election in
this State TO take place previous to
the Presidential election. This is
a clear confession of fear that the
Radicals will be beaten in the con-
test. If they thought that Grant
could carry the State, they would
hurry up their work amazingly.
However, we do not complain. We
shall bide our time, and try to beat
them when it comes.
