for the Defendant.

This interesting case. which was instituted about
yesr ago, and which mas occupied the attention
of the Fifth District Court for the last ten days,
was yesterday finally decided n favor Of Mr.. Hea.
derson. The suit was brought by Mr.. Knox for
$50 coo, to compensate him for the damage which
he said his reputation had experienced from GER
tain alleged expressions of MIR. Henderson. Mr..
Hen1ersOn's defense was to impugn the credibil-
ity of Mr.. Knox's witnesses, in which be sue
ceeded very fairly, and next to show that Mr.
Knox's reputation being already bad, could not
suffer through any statements made by him. In
the last he was emlnently successful as our read.
ers will not forget the resume of the evidence we
have already published. Mr.. Knox's cause was
ably argued by Mr.. ]. Q. A. FeIlowes, while
Messrs. Clark, Bayne 4 Renshaw conducted the
defense with an ability that in the end proved
successful. The jury was absent only about If
teen minutes, and then brought in an unqualified
verdict for the defendant thus ssddling the plain.

The other day, while the cure Of the Madeleine
Church in Paris was discussing business in the
vestry with friend, a small, insignfc ant ooking
person entered and desired to speak with him
The cure, with his we-known air of tdmbou-
mojeur, curly told him to sit down and wait.
The small man, however, remained standing.
This displeased the cure, who exclaimed: "Mon.
sieur, / desire you to seat yourself" Instead of
complying, the gentleman paced rapidly up and
down the room, until the cure, fairly irrtated in

TO write his name and that of the godmother at
full length in the register book, which was pre-
sented TO him for that purpose. To the surprise
OF the cure he wrote down: " FRANCHISE d'Assise,
Roi dEspagne, and Isabella, RENE d'Espagne."
To complete the scene. there entered Immediately
afterwards the ex queen herself, attended by an
other Parsonage whose face is now sufficiently
known TO the Parsiens. They had waited until
they were tired for the temperance of the ex.
king, and had at last come in search of him.

with the various legal proceedings that have been
instituted to prevent the New Orleans aud Ship

enjoyment Of the privileges granted TO them by

commenced a suit against all adherents OF the
Board of Drainage Commissioners. The suit was
brought in the Filth District Court. The petition
of the company, after setting forth that the Legis
lature,' clothed with al due authority so to act
had snnued the law of 1858, by virtue of which
the three boards Of drainage commissioners Sit

raises yearly, from the custody of the boards of

property Of said boards, which possession was
denied him. and further, that the boards OF drain
age commissioners have couded with third
parties to cause legal proceedings to be in.
stituted against the canal company, TO prevent
them from exercising the privileges which the act
of the last Legislature gives them. After making
these statements the company petitions the court

The "Great National Blessing"

The past week was n most remarkable
one, financially, says the Day Book, for
Wall street, and the stock gamblers. Mo-
ney ruled tight call loans were up to p per
cent. per day, or at the rate of one hundred
and fifty per cent. per year yet the bulls,
staggering on under their loads, refused to
sell, and continued to put up their collater-
ais, and borrow heavier sums at these enor-
nous rates named rather than unload and
knock down quotations. The severe strain
upon the borrowers eliminated on Friday,
and ''let up was experienced on Satur-
day The sudden relief in the money mar
ket was proof that, notwithstanding the
actual drain of money from this point,
which the condition of the banks show,
there is yet left currency enough to lend
aid to the bull interest, by imitation, and
also enough, if suddenly locked up, to
strengthen the bear interest to huge ex-
tent. Large sums of money have gone
pears that mere money does not make bust
ness. The complaint of hard times is gem
eral and all the industrial interests are
groaning. New England manufacturers are
howling terribly. A Rhode Island paper
says Taxes and the increased cost of ar
ticles of food have made it necessary for
the people to adopt measures of economy,
and to buy little, save what is absolutely
needed In times like these men wear
their old clothes, and women turn their
dresses, and make them over The retailer
feels the change, and the jobbers suffers by
the restricted purchases of the retailer, and
the manufacturer is in deep distress at the
contemplation of the general stagnarion. I"
But where we ask, is the glorious change
which the New England press declared
would follow the election of Grant ? Where
is the dropping of gold which we were to
see Where is the general revival of trade?
Where is the great rise in tn United States
bonds Where is the restored confidence
between capital and labor The truth is,
the Grant election Is but another huge
dead weight upon the prosperity of the
country. 1t simply proves that as long as
Mongrelism, niger equality, and huge
debt are allowed to exist, the country will
be kept PROSTATE and distress increase

Gen. Grant declared officially, March 4th,
that he would appoint honest men to office,
and that an honest administration of af-
fairs was the first thing to be secured, and
now we see among the nominations sent to
the Senate the notorious ex-Congressman
from Toledo district, Ohio, James NJ. Ash
ley, for Governor of Montana In March,
1861, just after Lincoln's Inauguration, Mr..
Ashley was a member of Congress, and had
been in the previous Congress upon the
Committee on Territories He was well
posted on "big things" in the Territories,
and determined to get control of the i'm
portant Office of Surveyor-General in Col
orado. He found the man he wanted to
use in Francis NJ. Case, of Indiana, and
his plans in connection with the Office and
the man are fully explained in his letters
Here are few extracts:
