THE Dior GAME.-John Riordans educa-
ton in city tricks was not well attended to
in his early years, or he would not have
proved himself SO verdant as to find a
twenty dollar gold piece on the levee, in
company with fellow who gives his name
as William Smith, and then give Smith
twelve dollars as his share in the finding.
An NJ. F., whose name is Zeigler, watched
the transaction, and when the business was
finished took the black hearted Smith into
custody. The dozen dollarsowere taken
from him and returned to the greenhOrn,
who went away rejoicing. Accused was
placed under bonds to behave himself for
three months, but as he was unable to
furnish security he will probably rest his
wearied talents in prison for some weeks to
come. The poor dupe has Travelled for
Texas to raise corn and pecans.

Those victims who were SO unfortunate or
criminal as to find themselves in the beer
house NJ. Go st. Charles street, Monday
night. when raid was made on the den by
the police, were yesterday before Recorder
Houghton. About o9e-half the number
were fined in moderate sums, while the pro
prietors were compelled to part with fifteen
dollars each, by way Of modifying an Of
Tended city ordinance. One or two more
such raids will teach respectable men that
it is unsafe TO idle their hours in disreputa-
BILE places, among bad characters.

A funny little old woman, whose nose and
chin point to each other affectiOnately
known as Eliza Bennett, was before Re-
corder HoughtOn yesterday on a simple
drunk, which is no new circumstance in her
eventful history. Years ago she was a
festive vivandiere in the French army, the
pet OF her regiment, bnt that was before
her pointed chin and pinched nose came so
near colliding. She still shows remnants Of
her former beauty of face and figure, but
love of strong drink has brought her low
Circumstances have no influence on her
temper; she is jolly in prison or out of it,
A sentence of twenty days residence in the
WOrkhOuse was the same as an invitation
to splendid dinner.

FROM THE LAKE END.-Iho following
communication will interest not few:
EDITORS REPUBLICAN,:
Having noticed in one Of your late issues
statement in regard to the mouth Of the
new canal, l sincerely agree with you in
YOUR views, and think it an immediate ne
cessity that something should be done to
great drawback on lake commerce as well
as the Chattanooga railroad bridge at the
RigOlets. l have taken sOundings in the
mouth of the canal for several days past,
and the greatest depth found was only, four
feet six inches On the second instant it
was scant that depth. On the twenty-fifth
ultimO there were fourteen vessels ut the
mouth waiting for sufficient water to get
in. Three vessels made an attempt, but
failed and went ashore, and one OF them Is
a complete wreck.
There are now nine vessels in the mouth,
and it is completely blocked up, and nothing
of any draft Of water can pass Ill or out.
The Texana is drawing the greatest depth
Of water, bound to Pensacola, and has been
here hard aground since Tuesday last,
drawing five feet ten inches, with four feet
eleven inches water, and is likely to stay
here until the wind changes to the SOUTH
am confident in saying one dredge boat
can in five days cut a channel eight feet
deep, which, believe the charter of the
canal company requires, and they have at
present two dredge boats running night and
day where it is not at present materially
necessary. Why not open channel Tor
vessels to get in, and then widen the canal.
SO they can 20 up without difficulty!' Open
the mouth, 50 they can come in to harbor,
and thew are not liable to be wrecked, and
not block them out, where they are in immi-
nent danger Of being wrecked, in case
gale Of wind should spring up, and which IL
liable at any moment at this season OF the
year. Hoping that all newspaper men, lun-
Der, wood and charcoal dealers, and last, the
State officials, will look after this matter,
and see that the present lessees are required
to do their duty, sign myself, respectfully,
yours. SUBSCRIBER.

FIFTH JUSTICE COURT.-On Monday
morning, the recently elected Fifth Justice of
the Peace in Algiers, c. L. Sweet, took pos
session of his Office. Judge Sweet has been
allowed to use the former Justices room in
the parish court, from which the late Justice
Eugene Mccarthy was elected by the city
authorities, for his conduct when he was re-
indicted into Office by decree of the Sixth
District Court. The installation Of Judge
Sweet is viewed with no small satisfaction
by the citizens Of, the Fifth District, for
now justice will be rightly and fairly ad-
ministered, the Fifth Justice Court will
cease to he an object of adherence and
contempt, and recover the responsibility it
has lost during SO many months.
A HAsTY ARRAIGNMENT.-Last Monday
Sheriff Mascot was called to the bar of
the Criminal Court by Judge Abel, in a
somewhat irregular manner when the
81 court as embodied in the presiding
official, began to lecture him in rather
severe sentences, which were ierked out in
a hating, hesitating style Of delivery. The
new Sheriff was all this time unconscious
of having given cause for curtain lecture,
and had expressed no particular contempt
for the court. Finally ascertaining that
the Judge was really endeavoring to say
something, Mr.. Masicot respectfully waited,
hoping that he would eventually ascertain
the drift Of the Judges remarks. In time
the fact became known that the Sheriff was
un for contempt of court, Some one had
last Saturday, obtained a kind Of release
for person in tho Parish Prison, and had
failed to present it to the new incumbent,
when complaint was made that the order
was ignored by those in charge Of the
prison. Judge Abel, in his haste to find

Down AMONG BAD WosiES-Breoking
Lp> the Dees.-Oflatc the Police Department
seems to have acquired new vigOr. and
. anything it undertakes Is pretty well car
ried out to successful ending.
For months past hundreds of serious
complaints have been made against a very
low class of women in the rear Of the First
District, whose habits border or total de-
prayity; no act is too low for them, and no
deed too dark and bloody. Silly men con-
stantly trust themselves in those slums,
and as sure as they enter with money just
go sure are they robbed and abused, and
finally turned into the street stripped of a
portion of their clothing. 1t may he said
that they are served as they deserve,
which is perhaps too true, but that does not
lessen the crime committed. Not many
nights ago q patrolman found man on
Dryades street with no other clothing than
q bobtailed ceat. He had visited one
of those dens below Union street, where he
had been drugged, robbed and then driven
forth. The poor mans brain was so be-
wildered that at first he VI unable to give
any account of himself. Not night passes
that robbery is not perpetrated in that
locality. Behind these bad women are
hidden worse men, who are the real cul-
prits in thieving, but they are SO sly as to
avoid detection.
Last night the police made general raid
on the houses where the most crimes are
committed and took the inmates to prison.
OF all the sights man ever witnessed, they
presented the vilest. Nearly every one OF
the girls is lost to all sense of decency,
reveling in crime, actually vying with each
other in indecent acts. The fouler the words
and actions expressed by them in the station
house, the louder sounded jeering laughter.
Some of them, when behind the bars, re-
cited portions of their crimes and shouted
in demoniac rage. Scarce one Of them was
affected by imprisonment, while most Of
them actually gloried in the change. One
half were drunk, crazed with dregs OF poi
soned whisky.
1t must be remembered that these women
are the vilest of the vile, lost to all sense of
shame or right. Of the propriety or impro-
priety of the arrest, our readers, can judge
for themselves. Force must be used against
any portion of our inhabitants who live by
force. We venture to say that it our
readershad seen this gang az we saw them,
few words of sympathy would find express
sion. They will be arraigned before Re-
-corder Houghton this morning, where their
general reputation will not be in their favor
