DR.. Yandell, Of Louisville, who Bber-

with his harangue. And while the

question of admission, which they re-
fused, in the city Of Boston they were
going through the ceremony of recog-

The New Albany Ledger says: Gan
important discovery has recently
been made, which promises to work
a great revolution in the construction
of houses, both business and residence.
This discovery is nothing more nor
less than that of method of making
marbleized glass, of sufficient thick
ness and strength TO be used in house
fronts, floors, or inside walls and cell
ings, and of such beauty, and possess
ing such qualities, as must bring it
into very general use. This glass is
rolled into plates of any desired size,
and into these plates ornaments of
any required pattern may be worked.
The glass is marbleized, the coIors be-
ing remarkably bright and of high
polish. The plates can be fitted into
house fronts, either frame or brick,
and built to with as much facility as
any other material. House fronts
made Of this glass would never re-
quire painting. The polish upon
them Is oil the highest, and the color
very fine. When the glass becomes
dusty or dirty it can be readily
washed of, and made as bright az
when first put into the building. We
predict that this marbleized glass
viii soon come into general use. 1t
has all the appearance of genuine
marble, and viii make a most beauti-
ful house 'front.'"

Gentry, Campbell & Co. vs.. El
Paso Pacific.
From tbe N. o. Picavune. Tuesday

From the N. o. Picayune, tuesday,
Suit has been instituted in the Fifth
District Court, Judge beaumont, against
the Memphis, Ell Paso and Pacific Rail-
road Company, domieiled in the State OF
Texas. by Messrs. Campbell, Gentry q
Co., a commercial firm doing business In
the said State, claiming $489, 0S4, in addi-
ton to a sum already claimed in a suit in
this court.
The claim is for work contracted for on
the 18th of August, 1869, in the way OF
grading, mason work, and such other
work required upon said road, commenc-
ing at or near the city of Jefferson, Texas,
and extending to Paris, Lamar county,
Texas, a distance of 40 miles Excepting
i've miles contracted for by Messrs.
Boyer, Beck & Jonesl, the work to be fin
ished as per certiications. Subsequently,
they allege, on the 10th OF December,
1863, they mutually agreed that the pen
alties for noncompliance of contract on
the part of the defendants should not be
exacted in consequence of their inability
to procure labor, materials, etc.
They aIlege that they commenced the
work and went forward with it as rapidly
as possible and to the satisfaction OF the
company, and that in order to do so they
employed a large number of hands, at one
time exceeding 900, and purchased for
LAOA A1AE1 "a RAON A6AOLSu EOOIE
and implements and supplies to enable
them to complete the 140 miles as above
described; also steam pile driving ma
chimes and all modern Improvement
necessary for the rapid comfletion of the
road; also 1900 mules, 100 head of horses
and oxen, and built extensive quarters
for hands and stock, etc. They further
represent that defendants, without any
good cause or valid reason, vitiated their
contract with petitioners by first neglect
ing to max the payments due IN the
manner stipulated, and hen totally neg
lected to comply with all their agree
ments, and finally, without any good
cause whatever, directed and ordered
petitioners to discontinue to work under
said agreement.
They aver that their work was well
done. and that the defendants never com
planned of the same, but on the contrary
have frequently admitted that petitioners
in every respect had rigidly performed
their duty, and that in consequence OF
the said acts of defendants they have been
damaged in the amount above claimed.
The CIT ordered the attachment to
issue as prayed for upon the petitioners
giving bond in the sun OF $3.50, 900, which
was furnished by the following: Camp
bell, Gentry & Co., w. Berry, John d.
Wilson, George o. Beaves, D. b. Bayless,
VIM. W. Martin and Willis Dowty.

General Domingo Goicouria died bv the
garrote at Havana at 8 O'Clock Saturday
morning. He met his death with perfect
calmness. He was about sixty wears Old.
and, from his long residencain the United

zens. He was a Cuban by birth. had al
ways been hostile TO Spanish domination
in the island, and was early compelIed ID
leave il. He was connected with Iopez

was exclusively discussed, and it
was agreed by the Republicans

THE K
State, ETC., ex rel. City of New Orleans vs.
the Judge Of the Eighth District
Court, Parish Of Orleans.
From the N. o. Times of Tuesday.

From the N. o. Times of tuesday,
The Supreme Court yesterday, through
Judge Howe, dismissed the application o.
the City Attorney for an appeal or a man.
damus TO Judge Dibble, to grant an APP
peal from his order, allowing McComb 10
bond the certificate of the city's stock in
the Jackson Railroad, which were fled
in the Eighth District Court. This de-
cision recognizes fully the right of Nc
Comb to have possession of said certifi-
Gates on giving bond as ordered by Judge
Dibble. McCOmb having his certificates
is certainly entitled to either the money
which he gave for them or to the enjoy
ment of the same, so far as the city is
concerned. The city government should
determine this matter promptly, and not
keep $500, 900 tied up III the bank and re-
fuse McComb the property he gave this
money for.
As for the Railroad Directory, Eve do
not think it is any business of theirs what
the city does with its stock. and If it sells
the same it is a high-handed and arbitra-
ry act in the Directory to refuse to recog-
nize and permit the transfer to McComb
on the books of the company. The Di-
rectOry nave no right to go behind the le-
climate and bona tide transfer. 1t is no
business of theirs 10 set up any defenses
against the sale, if the city approves and
sanctions the same. The Jackson Rail-
road Directory are not charged with the
control and management of the city's in
terests. Their business is to perform their
own proper duties, which require that
they should see that all transfers of stock
should be recorded, and the holders of
certificates be given the evidence thereof.

ALL consent that the election Of
eminently well qualified and good
men to the judieialofices is of para
mount importance. There is no
doubt about that in any quarter, and
hence some are disposed to vote for
men whom they are more partial to,
or happen to think somehow superior
to some of the nominees lately Sc.
lected by the Peoples Convention.
But suppose now, for the arguments
sake, we consent they are right in
their individual preferences. How
does that alter the case? Hon
est, capable and well qualified
men have been selected by the Con-
ventiOn, and not men who should be
O~verslaughed for want of integrity or
capacity. There is no excuse Of that
sort for independent candidacy or in
dependent action. And if there are a
hundred or a thousand equally good
men for the judicial offices in the
county, still no excuse is furnished,
for not all can be elected, and only
those can be in whose behalf con-
cert of action has been secured.
Not to sustain these is to rem
der uncertain the selection of
good men, when to sustain them will
render their election sure. The cir
c~umstances are peculiar and unusual.
We have been under the diabOlism of
Radical rule, which it is necessary
now to shake OFF forever. And we
say, therefore, it is now the duty of
every good citizen to stand to an
organized effort for this purpose. We
can support our friends for other offices,
and at another time. Let every true
man put his shoulder to the wheel.
And let US have "a long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull all together" for vic
5ory,
