BITING THE BIrERs.-New Orleans is
noted for its sharp men and willy tricksters,
but young Prussian, only few days here,
seems TO possess sufficient wit or wisdom to
beat some ST. Charles street gamblers. His
business style was the thing that "shut =
their eyes. He was too commercial III his
habits to carry greasy greenbacks in his
perti,med pocket; bank checks suited him
best. and he seemed to have few OF them.

way into bank, and of course it was dlscov-

RECORDER DUMoNT's Court, FIFTH DIS
TRIcT, ALGIERs.-Arthur Jack and Peter
Deshner were charged by John Thomas
with offense against property and person.
John pursues the business of line fishing i'll
the neighborhood of the Crescent Slaughter
house, and his antagonists, for some I'M
known reason, thought fit to interfere with
him by cutting his lines and subjecting him
to trouble and loss. John demurred in
rather undiplomatic language, whereupon
Jack and Peter joined forces and gave
Thomas severe beating by way of rider to
the injuries they had already done to his
means of support. The accused were sent
before the First District Court.
1t is matter of regret to find an increase
III the number of arrests in the Fifth Dis

oeris conduct. Formerly, these cases were
very rare, and the rapid increase proves

GEORGIA.


The reconstruction COMMITTEES, on Monday, re-
ported bill to re-admit Georgia into the Union
on the same terms granted to Virginia and Mis-
sissippi It is said Bingham and the other te-
publicans who opposed the senate amendments
to the Virginia bill will oppose this new Georgia
bill, On the ground that Georgia having once
been admitted, cannot again be admitted unless
congress asserts the doctrine that it can expel
and re'admit any state at pleasure.
Senator Trumbull, chairman of the Judiciary
committee in the senate, il said to be puzzled 70
the verge of distraction by the Georgia conen-
drum, arising out of her election OF a double set
OF U. s. senators. The former set was elected
before the niger had been expelled from tho
legislature, and the other set was elected after
the expelled niggers, at the mandate of congress,
had been restored. If the legislature of 1869,
by expelling the niggers, became an unlawful
body ab initiO, SO as to be incapable of electing
senator's even before the niggers were expelled,
could that unlawful body become lawful BY re.
storing the nggers to their seats? That's the

OF Mississippi, on Friday of last week, was ad.

by strict party vote. The serge.nt-at.arms
