week the farmers from all the sur

The wide streets are then alive. Over
four hundred wagons are gathered round

bargaining off the products of their dali

A Family Reunion after Fifty Years.
Separation:

Iris an exceedingly trite remark when
anything out of the common run takes
place in human affairs, that truth is
stranger than fiction" Automatic as it
may have become, we do not claim any
thing remarkable for what we have to say
beyond the reality of the facts and the
local interest Rev. T. B. Eastman was
born in 1913, at the old Buffers Tavern"
still standing in this city, near the gas
works His fathers name was SAMUEL,
and his mothers maiden mamie was Anna
Robinson. The father was apprenticed to
a blacksmith, and his indentures did not
expire until two years after marriage, by
which time two children had been born
him and he was largely in debt. When
the Rev. Mr.. E. was but six years of age
his father left for Massachusetts, nominal
ly to obtain work, but really to escape the
opportunities of creditors. He went on a
fishing voyage, and soon after his de-
parture the family also left this city. Writ
ing several times after his return from
"the briny," and learning nothing, both
parties gave up the other for lost. So
things went on. The children grew up
and had families of their own. One son
was lost in Mexico, the daughter married,
and the eldest son became clergyman.
1t CHANGED few weeks since that the cler
gyman called on a lady of his acquaintance,
who incidentally mentioned having met
with his fathers second family, some nine
years since. Though the lady was well
informed as to the disappearance of his
father the reverend gentleman was sur
prised to find her better posted, in his
family affairs, than he was himself. Be-
coming possessed of all she knew, he
wrote to the postmaster of T in the
State of - and, ascertained facts which
left no doubt in regard to the identity of
the individual. Proceeding to the place in
question, the senior Eastman was found, and
was perfectly overwhelmed at intelligence
from those who, forhalf century, had been
to him as dead. The old man, overjoyed,
took him home and introduced him to the
second family" for he had married again
and had four children, who in turn had
grown up and had children of their own.
The wife was dead and the old man, now
rs years old, finds the wife he had left
blooming young woman, with the gray
hairs and wrinkles of 70. The father will
soon be in the city, and those desiring to
ascertain the facts of this case can inquire
of the parties to it. That the family is
again united, we rejoice to be able to say,
and that they may pass happily through
the remaining years of life, is our heartfelt
wish.-ConcOrd, NJ H., Patriot.

THE CITY ATTORNEY.

| 1t is understood that Gov. Warmoth has
issued commission to Mr.. J. B. Feckwith as
city attorney of New Orleans, acting, or pre-
tending to act under the law of 1868, which
bestows authority on him to fill vacancies in
State and municipal Offices not otherwise pro-
vided for by the Constitution. This law was
clearly intended to enable the governor to
provide places for his Radical friends in COM
munities which do not desire the services of
those amiable persons. 1t was hoped that
the governor would not attempt to use this
extraordinary power in cases arising in this
city, in opposition to the known wishes of the
public; but his attempt to slpercede the pres
ent capable. popular and efficient city attor-
ney, only affords one more illustration, added
to the many which he has already furnished,
of his utter disregard of the wishes of the
people whom he pretends to represent The
facts of this case show that the effort to ac-
complish this purpose is a peculiarly lagi-
tlous exercise of q power which, at best, is
entirely repugnant to the theory on which
our municipal institutions are founded
About six months ago Mr.. J. B. Eustis re-
signed the Office of attorney, and, imme-
diately afterwards, Mr.. II. j. Leovy
was unanimously elected by the council
Gov. Warmoth acquiesced in this election
an election, we may say, effected in the man.
ner directed by law-not only by emitting to
appoint, but by consulting on one or more
occasions with the new attorney on legal
questions. 1t would seem that, even if the
law under which the governor assumes to act,
is valid, he has recognized Mr. Leovy as at
torney, so fully, as to make that recognition
equivalent to an appointment
But there are good reasons for considering
the law invalid. Its effect, in this particular,
is to alter the law of 1856, known as the city
cl.lrter; but it is general in its terms, and
does not refer, either in its title or elsewhere,
to the law or the charter which Its amends For
a still stronger reason than this the law is in
valid, because not even by reference to its
title can law be amended or revived; but, in
such case, the revived or amended section
shall be re-enacted and published at length.
What influences may have operated to induce
the governor. after six months Of acquiesence,
to supersede capable and efficient officer,
and to appoint person who is almost un-
known in the community, we cannot posi-
lively assert. We hope the reason is not to
be found in the persistent opposition of Mr.
Leovy to the attempts of some of the gov
ernors favorites to make unauthorized in
cursions into the city treasury.
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-03-18

resolved to do something to show that all the
political tact and energy of the country is not
monopolized by the manufacturers. At the
instance of the Free Trade League, a large
meeting of merchants was held in that city, a
few days ago, which, according to the World,
"speaks well for the speedy Inauguration of
successful opposition to the present OPP
pressiye tariff" A very liberal subscription
was made by the merchants present to sup
ply the means of diffusing information on the
subject of free trade, in popular form.
This is an excellent movement, and it should
be inflated in every city in the country.
