REGISTERED OATHs BRoKEN.-In the year
1860 Nelson Tate registered an oath that he
would love, protect, and cherish the girl Of
his choice. How well he kept his oath and
how well he broke it is now registered in
Judge Bccker's court. The wife now sWears
that he does not support or protect her,
and that when he recently tried in vain to
borrow money from her he knocked her
down and violently iLtreated her. In life
he must answer before the Criminal Court,
and after life he Will have more to answer
for than his broad shoulders can carry. He
will then go to the left hand among the
other goats.
Here is another, but complainant is the
husband. Morris Meyers complains that
his wife Ann has left him and gone into
the rough ways of prostitution in house
on Basin street. The history Of this case is
about as follows: Morris failed, in conse-
quence of some cause to us unknown, to in
any way provide for his wife and children.
Hunger and other pressing necessities drove
the poor wife to the last extremity woman
can go, but she left the city and made her
home in small village in the I.afourche
country, from which place she almost
weekly sent to her husband the money she
had gained by her shame. One week hav-
ing failed to procure money she could moi
send any, and he then want after her, but
remained only one day. Since then she has
been able to obtain little or no money
and now this fellow goes before {
magistrate and swears that the woman h
did not support is prostituting herself
swearing that she left him without cause o.
provocation. If there is any merit in Judgt
Lynch's law, it might be applied in his case
and this community not be outraged. HI
will appear in the First District Recorder
court on the twenty.third instant agains
the woman he once took for better or worse
He will be sight to see.

A man up in Wisconsin, who seems torun
a Sunday school after the fashion of saw
mill, writes the following account of his
little enterprise:
I organized the first Sunday school in
this county, and ran it myself one season.
We came in here early, all Americans. We
wanted to draw in decent, industrious tami-
lies, and to keep out all foreigners and row
dies. So l said: "a Sunday school will at
tract the folks we want, and keep Others out.
It will be the best and cheapest way to blow
for the settlement There was not one OF Us
that pretended to have one grain of plety;
so they pitched upon me to carry out the
plan. did so, aud sent to your society and
got a library and ran the school all summer.
1t did the blowing for us splendidly. Be
fore summer was ended, some Christian
families came in; and, as they had better
stock of piety, l gave over the Sunday
school to their hands. 1t was a grand thing
for us. There wasn't foreigner of any sort
that ever stayed in the settlement more thar
one night. We secured a good American
and moral settlement. In fact, it got to bt
so pious that couldn't live there myself

THE GAINES EsTATE.-The Times under
stands that in the cases of Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines against the city of New Orleans, as
well as those against Manuel ]. Lizardi ct
ais, and F. D. De la Croix ct ais, Judge
Durell, of the United States District Court
for the District of Louisiana, had recused
himself because of interest. On this ac'
count the mandates of the Supreme Court
of the United States pronounced in favor of
Mrs. Gaines remain for the time being in
allegiance, though ultimately they must pre-
vail, as all the principles on which her
claims to her fathers estate rest have been
decided in her favor.

FIREMEE's FESTIVAL AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
The festival for the benefit of the widows
and orphans fund, after many sore delays
on account Of perverse weather, was com.
pleted last Sunday in pleasant manner,
except that portion which embraces the
mock tournament, and that will be given
next Sunday. Their programme was carried
out with considerable eclat. There was an
uncommon game of raquette between the
Bayous and the LaVilles. The Bayou:
gained the victory, and CARY off the pres
entation banner. A mile race for hose car
risges was won by Jackson Is in 5.lll
There were eighteen entries to a quarter
foot race. j. Heigh, of No. Is, and J. Steven.
son were the victors for gold and silver
medals. Nearly half a hundred newsboys
ran halEmile race. The winner Scully
dropped in swoon at the " inning post.
There was much interest felt in a half
mile race of hand engines, pulled by thirty
men. Mechanics made the run and threw
water in 3;28l, but Trad Ferry and Perse-
verance I3 were not much slower.
At night there was to have been dance,
and excellent preparations had been made,
but a threatening storm dispersed the
dancers. Taken altogether the days recre
ations were well given and taken, and those
who visited the ground went home reluc-
family.

ExPLANAT1oN.-on the eighteenth instant
a notice appeared in the Times to the effect
that the body of man drowned in Bayou
st. John had been floating near the mouth
of the bayou for three days, and as some
evil.disposed persons had been circulating a
report that the Coroner would not hold an
inquest on the body because it was col,
ored man, the Coroner requests us to state
that he received no notice of the drowning
other than that which appeared in the
Tines, and on that notice he repaired in
mediately and held an inquest.

Mr.. Wade Hampton declares that If the
present political status of South Carolina
be continued his friends will leave the
State. The New York Tribune rather bit
terly replies:
When the South Carolinian aristocrats
can get better picking and more lordly in
dolence elsewhere than in South Carolina,
they will go. Not before. But if anybody
is TO be coionized, by all means let it be the
class which Wade Hampton represents.
South Carolina could do without such gen
tlemen as well as ireland without her es-
tablished church, or France or Italy With
out their Bourbons.

CoRoNER's INQUEST Coroner Avila held
an inquest yesterday on the body of Ran
dolph Lukes or Lux, who our readers will
remember was assaulted by two men while
stepping out of a Canal street car near
johnson street on the eleventh instant, and
severely wounded in the hand, from the
effects of which he died on Sunday last.
The parties who committed the assault have
not been apprehended, neither has any clue
been obtained as to their identity, although
Mr.. Lukes stated before his death that were

them at once. There being no testimony
other than that of the deceased before his
death, the Coroner's jury rendered the fol.
lowing verdict: That deceased Randolph

Every effort has been made to obtain in

and it is hoped they will speedily be brought
to justice. Deceased leaves a wife and three
children. He was .one of the most artistic
painters in this country, and doubtless

SuIcIDE.-0n Sunday the inhabitants in
and around No. 10 Customhousc street
were thrown into the greatest CONSERVATION
by the report that the dead body of man
named A. Gsussour was lying in room in
the third story of that building.
It appears that Mr.. Caussour for several
years had rented room over the drug

TIE DIAMOND RoBBERY.-Spencer Rusb,
who is accused of robbing the house of Mr..
B. Bragg, will have a trial on the twenty.
fourth. Milburn Hill is also under arrest
for the same offense. Rush has confessed
to Special Dumas that he, Hill, and another
fellow committed the robbery, sold the 800
diamond ring to a dealer on Poydras street
for twenty dollars. The real eulprit is still
at large. His pals kept the servant, Mary
Morton, well occupied while the thief broke
open the armoir and made OFF with the
plumber. The three divided the proceeds.
1t is hoped that the missing Iman will be
pulled before the case comes up for trial.
After the above was put into type Special
Officers Dumas, Malone, and Madden cap
tured another of the culprits on the corner
of Basin and Perdido streets. He gave his
name as ]. B. Smith. Now the whole affair
will be sifted to the bottom, and the real
offenders probably brought to justice.

Michael Miller, rather aged man, was ar

and Prytania streets as man who had no
visible means of support, and no home.
When arraigned before Judge Jackson he

that he is stranger here, having arrived
from Memphis only three days ago, Special
Officer Madden being in the court room, in
