A law was passed by the black and tan Legisla-
ture at its last session, imposing fine of $500 on
all judges who permit any of our lawyers to prac-
tice before having paid their license tax, and hav-
ing the same registered, in all the courts wherein
said lawyers intend to practice; If ii is not done
the Judges In self defense, as the Supreme Court
decides all acts Of the black and tans to be valid
and legal will be obliged to declare that without
the pre- requisite of the license and recorded as
enacted the occupation must cease. What will
our legal brothers do? Will they submit and go
from court to court with their passes in their
pockets to earn living to be exhibited whenever
called for, or will they resist and appeal to the
honorable the court of last resort. and have the
classical reasoning of his honor, Associate Jutice
wyley, for their satisfaction!
We look upon this law, which we are Informed
by one of our district judges, goes immediately
into effect, as the richest joke perpetrated by the
black and tans during their froc.
As one of the nations wards, clothed IS to his
lower limbs in snowy duck, was yesterday wend'
ing bis solitary way along one Of the down town
back streets, strutting along with an air OF con-
scious dignity, and every now and then casting
an involuntary glance of admiration upon his
faultless inexpressibes, he encountered some four
or five negroes, regular levee rats, with coats
made OF bagging and pantaloons whose defcien-
cies were eked out by many parti-colored pieces
Of cloth, who were slouching along, seemingly
without any object in the world save to find
sunny spot on which to sleep. On meeting the
colored Adonis universal howl went up from
the crowd. of "say, pardner, you've cum out too
soon-them breeches is too soon for de season."
The swell gave one look of unutterable disgust at
his tormentors, and them with his eyes rivetted on
his jnexpressbes, passed on in silent contempt of
dem low niggers."

and confess. after brief trial in the character,
of anything but an expert upon the two
wheeled horse, to some little feeling of envy at
witnessing the skill Of this one who was taking
bis fourth, or that one his eighth lesson. Mr.
Loring himself is gracefully skilled in the accom-
plishment, and proposes to make all his pupils,
now numbering about forty. equally so. There is
to be trial of skill at the Halfway House under
his guidance, this afternoon, the competitors
being some of his more proficient pupils.
A paragraph appeared in the daily papers re.

dividend in favor of the creditors of the bankrupt

instant, he may receive warrant for the (blsnk)
dividend due to him from the estate it is conclu-
sive that the former report was premature, and
that the amount of per centage was anticipated.

caused by the receipt of q cipher dispatch from
the capitol from a certain person now high in au-
tbority, U. s. G**'*, requesting his immediate
presence at the capitol, that the aid of
his gigantic intellect might be lent to
solve the very perpexing cabinet question which
is now sgitating the country. We would
also state that Mr.. Head is intrusted on the part
of the CRESCENT, with the delicate mission of as.

mails have brought Us so unsatisfactory and 80

may. He will not be away long. as feeling the

Two young ladies promenaded last week oil

These costumes were certainly original, an
