ulation and the pleasant temperature of a cloudy

THE FACT that New Orleans is no longer a
naval station Of prominent rank, deprives us of
the presence OF a gentleman who stands no
higher in his profession than he stands in the
estimation Of the citizens of New Orleans Capt.
Haggerty, the senior officer Of the navy on this
station, is an officer and gentleman Of the old
school. Chivarous, choleric and genial--quick TO
resent an insult to his flag, and mplacabe on that
score, he has always been kindly and conciliatory
to the Southern people. He is OF the same kidney
with the noble Hancock fearless enemy in war,
but magnanimOus, gentle and friendly after the
closing of the temple of Janus.
Wherever Captain Haggerty may find IL his duty
10 so, at the call Of his government he shall al
ways have the honest and heartfelt good wishes
OF his friends in New Orleans-and those friends
are our entire population.

sand people on Saturday night last, in honor of
Seymour and Blair, there was not a single arrest
during the whole evening for breach of the
peace. The faces of the people were as brightly
lighted with joy and enthusiasm as the houses
were Illuminated with lamps aRd transparencies.

IT is ALMOST as much a matter of regret with US
to announce the removal Of United States Com
missioner John f. Holland, as it is a matter of
coDgratulation to announce that of Commissioner
shannon. The one has been as honest and law
abiding as the other has been rascally and vindic
tive. Mr.. Holland is native Of this city, and has
always enjoyed The esteem and confidence of mis-
fellow citizens. His talents as lawyer will make
up for tie loss of his commissiOnership-
really is no loss, for we have heard that Mr.. Hol-
land has for some time been intending to resign
the Office. The following is the communication
received by him from court:
CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, !
FIFTH CIRCUIT AND DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA.
John Z Holland Esq
SiT-lnasmuch as the military authorities are
removed and the State of Louisiana is fully re-
stored to her former position among the other
States OF the Union, the judge has concluded that
so large a number Of commissioners is useless for
the enforcement of the laws of the United States,
and has instructed me to inform you that by an
order entered on the minutes of this day you are
relieved from your duties as commissioner of the
United States for the District of Louisiana, aud
that your commission, issued oD the 2Sth day of
November, lo66, is revoked.
l am, respectfully, your Obedient servant,
F. b. VINOT, Deputy Clerk

and other members of the National Democratic
Convention sTrived. safe and sound, Monday
from New York. They speak in the highest terms
of the kindness and care of Austin ROuntree, and
cypress themselves delighted with the journey, so
far their association went with the other dele
gates. But when it went around in New York
that they were Southern men, they told US they
were charged double for everything they called
for. MIR. Bozonier tells us the New York
Hotel charged him five dollars dozen for wash
ing. And wherever the Southern delegates went
they we're charged, not only in New York, but in
Canada, and in the Western cities they passed
through on their homeward way, twice and three
times the usual prices of New Orleans. In New
York, in Washington, Montreal and other cities
North they couldn't get any decent cigars, any
cigarettes, or any fair whisky. The bar-rooms
and the cigar shops were infinitely inferior to any
of our first-class places Of that description and
evenin Louisville, where old Bourbon county ssup-
Iosed to have is capital, twenty-five and fifty cents
a drink was charged for worse than man can get
here at any cofeehouse for fifteen cents, with
plentiful lunch thrown into the bargain.
These gentlemen visited Washington; they at
tended Congress; they saw Butter and Chawles
Sumner. They were much pleased with Butler,
and say old cOck.eye bears a striking resemblance
to a buzzard-the beak the plumsge of the eagle
but that dull, carrion-seeking eye which distin-
guishes the carriOn crow from the king Of birds.
We hardly think they spoke to old "Spooney."
The delegates tell us, besides, that although
New York, at first, did not accept the presidential
nominations with overmuch cordality, neverthe-
less three days interval made wonderful change
for the better, and everybody was talking, when
they left, about Seymour and Blair, and their sure
chance for the big Offices. John MOrrissey they
say, is backed by the greatest capitalist in the
world, and is Offering bets in New York city of
two TO one.
SUIcIDB.-An old French gentleman, named
Csussaur who was familiar to the eyes Of every
body frequentDg Canal, Royal and st. Charles
streets, committed suicide a few days ago. This
man exceeded any one that ever came under our
obserV alton for the scTupulous neatness and ele
gsnce Of his dress. He was always, winter and
summer, ss the French say, tire q qudtre eptagIes
He was as delicate in his manner OF eating his
repas s as Q lOye-siCk damsel in presence Of her
afiaDced. He also was exceedingly punctOus
and aiiabe in his conversation, and, with the ex-
ceptiOn Of being too much Of petit nd0re, was
a model Of the gentlemen OF the Old school. Mis-
fortune and old age combined 10 make life dis
tasteful to him, and he slitted the burden by sui
eide. But when his corpse was discovered, in
stead of perfumery and ine linen, it was a foul
mass of corruption, shrOuded by swarm Of flies.
