THE BANK swINDLERs
HIBERNIA BANK LOSSES NOTHING
HOW The DISCOVERIES WIRE MiDB

We are glad to learn from Mr.. John Hen
derson, one Of the directors, that the
Hibernia Bank had no checks of the swind-
ling firm of Clayton, Williams & Co.. paid
no money on their checks, had no business
transactions with that. firm, and did not lose
dollar by their frauds.
1t seems that the suspicious Of the cashier
of one of the banks victimized or patron
lied by the bogus firm of Clayton, Williams
4 Co., had his suspicious first aroused by
the report that a firm was selling whisky
much below the market rates. which could
not be done without fraud somewhere. He
suspected it was the house of Clayton,
Williams & Co. that was engaged in this
transaction, and fearing that the revenue
officers would be on the track Of the checks
and seize them, he made the inquiries which
led to subsequent and importan. dis
closures. ...--'
One of the worthy carpenters of this
| city, who had fitted up a counting-room for
the swindling firm Of Clayton, Williams
& Co., got his work done last week, and
| was ready to take his money Saturday eve
ming, but was requested by the firm to
bring his bill in Monday morning, and they
would then pay it and arrange with him to
fit up another counting room on the floor
above. Mr.. Pitkin went there Monday
morning, but instead of meeting the firm
and getting his money, he saw some re-
spectacle bank directors looking in vain for
assets to satisfy the amount Of the forged
checks they had paid.

LONDON, December 11.-Steamer Berlin,

where she lies waiting safe opportunity to-
proceed.
Total deaths from the Birmingham explo-
sion twenty nine.
An affray occurred at before St. Peters,
Rome, IN which clubs and knives were,
used, but no fire arms. Serious conse
quences threatened. The people were dis
persed by Italian soldiers.
LONDON, December l0.-Bismarck de-
clares that he will not treat with the Tours
government, because it conniyed at bad
faith and its officers broke their paroles.
The Paris government has just refused
summons to surrender. They will fight to
the last man.
Wood writes from headquarters at Meung,
dated the ninth, that the Duke of Mecklen-
burg had three days fighting with the six
fighting commenced on the seventh, near
| Meung. The French fought with wonderful
obstinacy. The German loss was very great,
but the French loss much greater. The
French are now retreating toward VierzOn,
pursued by Prince William of Mecklenburg.
More fighting expected tomorrow.
Macklean reports, ON the tenth, the centre
of Prince Frederick Charles army at Or

right wing near Glen. A cavalry division,
followed by infantry, proceeded south from
Orleans to Vierzon.
Manteutfel is operating to occupy Dieppe,
Havre and Rouen.
LONDON, December 1.-THE Nors,ina
Post tells the exact truth about the reported
armistice. Gambetta suggested to Lord
Lyons, with viewto the speedy meeting
and efficiency Of the coming congress on the
Eastern question. that an armisti3e be
pressed BY neutral powers in order to allow
elections of French to the assembly, and
thus give increased weight to the presence
OF the French plenipotentiary in said con-
gress. No overture was made to Bismarck,
nor has the suggestion had any result.
The revolutionary party at Rome at
tempted an emeute on the ninth instant,
threatening to sack st. Peters and attack
Vatican. 1t was quelled By gendarmes,
aided by military.

The Republican Pioneer, of St. John the
Baptist parish, says:
The sugar planters of this parish seem to
be well pleased with the yield Of the cane
lately; the weather has been very favorable
larger yield than was expected at the begin
ming of the rolling season. Some cane yields,
as we we're told, two hogsheads per acre, and
one and half hogsheads appears to be the
average yield. The only drawback in roll
ing is the lack Of water, as we had unusually
little rain this fall, and most Of the water
ponds are dry, 60 that many Of our planters
are obliged to employ pumps at the river to
supply their svgsfhouses.

Zone swallow does not make summer =
nor does one prize drawn in a lottery make
that lottery a lucky one to venture in. But
if thousand or two of swallows come
along, and when prize after prize is drawn
right among lis in New Orleans, it is fair to
conclude, both that summer is at hand and
that the lottery from which SO many prizes
are drawn is the right one to invest in. In
our advertising columns will be found the
card of Mr.. John Lewis, resident OF Wash
ington street. near Rampant street, adding
one more TO the numerous evidences OF luck
in the Louisiana State Lottery. Mr.. Lewis
certiies that last Saturday he drew the
quarter OF the six thousand dollar prize,
the ticket which drew the same costing but
twenty-five cents. He is now rejoicing in
the possession Of the cash, as tie money

The idea which seemed to have taken deep
root in the time OF the late Democratic city
government, that any sort Of stuff would do
to full6l city contracts, is likely 10 prove
futile during the present administration.
An instance Of this NAV be found in the fact
that the Nicolson pavement on St. Charles
avenue has been stopped for some days
past, i'll consequence of a dispute between
the Administrator Of improvements and the
contractors for the pavement in relation to
the quality Of cypress timber used. There
has been considerable done in referring the
matter to experts, and it is probable that
an umpire will now be selected whose deci-
sion will be abided by on both sides. How
ever the matter may terminate, it shows
that the city administration is conducted
with strictness and just regard to the
city interests, that would have been laughed
at during the time of the late Democratic
city government.

We are glad to learn that Captain James
Lewis, Administrator of Police, is taking
steps to abate an evil that has long infested
the Sixth District, the reckless driving Of
cattle through the streets. The driving Of
herds OF semi-wild and thirs:-infuriated
cattle at their own headlong impulse,
through streets thronged with passengers,
and especially with young children, is even
more dangerous than the driving of vehicles
atareckless pace. For in the latter case there
is biped animal, in some way qualified for
the office, at one end of the reins to guide
the quadruped animal at the other; but the
cattle thus driven have no guiding rein. 1t
is to be hoped that the Administrator Of
Police will extend the reform to the Fifth
District, on the right bank of the river.

The political complexion OF the next
Legislature of this State. as shown by the
returns made by the board of returning offf
cerg Of the result of the election held on the
seventh OF November last, will be as fol-
lows: In the Senate, thirty-six Republicans
and seven Democrats in the House OF
Representatives, seventy-four Republicans
and twenty-nine Democrats. This makes d
Republican majority Of twenty-nine in the
Senate, aud forty-nine in the House. OF the
Republican members of the House returned
by the board, two have died since the cleo
tion-Joseph L'Oficial, from East Baton
Rouge, and Joshua Coleman, from Tensas.
There would, however, be no essential diff
ference in the Republican complexion of the
House if the parties returned in the place of
the two deceased members were Democrats,
although that is not likely to happen.
