From the NoD Orleans Times, April Is.
The description of B. f. Joubert as IAN undi-
luted negro. black as the ace of spades" will be
news to Mr.. Joubert and his acquaintances. So
far from having any of the physical characters-
tics OF the negro the very closest scrutiny would
never distinguish Joubert from ful-blooded
Caucasian. Nor has he ever admitted that he
was of African extraction; on the contrary, he
appears in various Judicial proceedings denying
toto COLO that either he or his children are of
African blood. In the Fourth District Court an
action was brought by him against n certain
educational Institution in this State for refusing
to receive his daughter a pupil in which he
AYERS that she is white. We have always heard
from his counsel and others that Mr.. Joubert's
maternal ancestor claimed to be of the stock of
the Choctaw Indians, from whom the early set
tiers of this city were accustomed to take their
squaws wives, Cat time when the supply of
white women in this colony was very scant.
Mr. j. h. Clay, another appointee of the Pre-
sident has never disguised the fact of his African
extraction, but Mr.. Clay, too, would never be
suspected, from his appearance, habits, and
characteristics, to be of that stock. He is a man
of wealth, of good education, and high credit
and capacity to fill any office to which he may
be appointed requiring business tact and expe-
rience.
Pinchback, appointed to Register of Land
Office, is of light complexion, but of ackuow-
lodged and pronounced African origin. He is
not of our old quadroon or ancient population,
being an emigrant from some Northern State,
and is OF quite different class from Clay and
JOubert.

Murder ON the Eastern shore.

The Nc rfolk VirginiGn has advices stating that
a shocking murder was committed in Eastville,
Northampton county, on wednesday OF last week.
IL says:- -
"Wednesday night two white boys were passing near
the stC re Of Mr.. Westcott, when they saw negro
rush out and make OF. They fired upon him twice,
but without success, and upon entering the store store
nearly severed from his body and lying in pool or
blood. The alarm was Immediately given, but the
lateness Of the hour prevented any active pursuit
be NO made that night but enough was seen
to show that desperate struggle had taken place
and traces OF blood were seen leading from the
house At an early hour the next morning % the ctl-
turned out ei, nlasse in search OF the murderer.
Following the bloody traces they led to the cabin or
a negro by the name OF Wright, living about mile
from the Village where blood was found in the yard
Wright was not at home. The woods IN the neigh
borhood were thoroughly scoured and about O'Clock
secreted in the top of fallen tree The blood upon
the ground and in his cabin was then ascertalned TO
have been caused by severe cut upon the arm OF
Wright supposed to have been received In the death
struggle with the murdered man.
After his arrest, Wright confessed that he had
committed the murder for the purpose OF plundering
the store That he had planned it, and in order to
effect an entrance with less difficulty mad dressed
himself in his wifes clothes. He stated that when
he went TO the door and Knocked MI Westcott, ma,
ing that it was woman apparently, came down and
admitted him. After talking little, he took the OPP
portunity, when his victims attention was turned
away, and stabbed him in the neck lnnlcting iatal
wound To make sure, however, he stabbed him
twice more, when, becoming alarmed at voices, he
rushed from the house This account Is corrooorated

The weekly statement of the banks shows
that they are rapidly increasing in available re-
sources. The deposits have expanded 81, 11S, 452,
loans sos, l7S, and the legal-tender reserves,
$29S, 426. In the single item of specie there is
slight falling off of SIG, 428. The above figures
are very favorable to a return of an easy money
myrket, and more liberal treatment of the
business public may be expected in the future
The improvements not spasmodic, but gradual,
and is, on this account, all the more gratifying.
We notice to-day quite change in the tone of
the loan market, which is less firm than for
many weeks past. Call loans, on Government
bonds, are readily made at the banks at COZ per
cent and at 7GD8 per cent on mixed securities.
The outside market was quiet, and all offerings
of prime mercantile paper were accepted by the
bill brokers at figures ranging between Soil per
cent, according to grade.
United States securities are dull and weak to-
day. Gold opened firm, and during the First
Board reached 134 from which il subsequently
receded to 134 rs at ~ M. The rise is variously
ascribed to possible European wars, trouble
with Spain, ETC., but the more likely cause is n
combined movement of the bulls" who just
now hold control of the market.
The Stock Market was quiet, but prices were
steady. State Loans were dull with sales of the
War Loan at 101. City Us were steady at 101A
Gold Loan sold at 9414.
Reading Railroad was moderately active,
prices ranging from Az to 4756. Pennsylvania
Railroad advanced 4, selling at go. Camden and
Railroad sold at 2814, 8. o., and Catawissa Rail-
road preferred at 30.
Canal stocks attracted but little attention.
Coal shares were neglected.
In Bank shares the only transactions were in
Mechanics at 81 Is.
Nothing was done in Passenger Railway

vincible said he was able to bear it all, and
would not murmur; that that letter had caused
trouble enough to let it stop Aith him.
Nor did he depart from this determination ex-
cept on one occasion, just after the letter was
published, he met one of the generals referred
to above on the street, who Immediately crossed
to the other side, not wishing to recognize him.
A few days afterwards, as General Longstreet
sat in the st. Charles Hotel in conversation with
some friends this General came in, but did not
recognize Longstreet; smarting under this insult
he called to the former, and said:-"I wish to
say to these gentlemen in your presence, that
you were one of the men who proposed this let
ter, and the last one who read it before publica-
tion, and as much in the mud as in the mire."
