Tours, March %.
The High Court of Justice opened at
II O'Clock this morning.
Witnesses were examined to prove that
Fouvielle said Victor Noir slapped The
Prince in the face. The lawyers for the
prosecution dWcit with fleet on some
grave contradictions in this testimony.
One Of the prosecuting lawyers created
IA sensation by declaring that the original
report of the police in this case could not
be found. Only a copy, dated ten days
later, could be produced.
One witness swore that he card Fon-
vIeIIe excIaim that if his pistol had not
missed fire he would have shot the Prince.
This had effect on the spectators, who
are evidently beginning to can to the
cause of the Prince.
NJ. Arnold testified that Victor Noir
had no intention Of attacking the accused
when he went to his house.
Henry Rochefort was called as witness
for the prosecution. There was much
agitation among the spectators at the an
n0uncement of his name. ROChefOrt en-
tered the court room accompanied by two
gendarmcS, and took his place on the
witness stand. He was pale, but very
calm. He replied quietly to the interro-
cations, and after repeating the contents
of the letter sent to him by the accused,
which occasjoned the visits of NJ. M. Noir
and Fonvielle, he retired to the bench re-
served for journalists. Many of the latter
shook hands with him as he took his seat,
The wife of Louis Noir, brother of Vic
tor Noir, was called to testify. She was
much agitated. She said Victor Noir
could not have slapped the Prince, be-
cause the gloves on his hands were found
to be intact.
Other witnesses cOrrobOrated the state
ment of Arnould hat Noir did not intend
10 quarrel with the Prince.
NJ Morel, a reporter of the "Moniteur,"
testified that the witnesses who now swear
to FonvieIle's admission that Noir slapped
the Prince, did not say SO at first.
M. MilIiere and other witnesses testified
10 the physical weakness of Victor Noir
aud The improbabiIity Of his striking the
Prince as the defence alleged.
During an intermission of the court
many friends of NJ Rochefort gathered
around him, when the gendarmes inter
fered, and surrounding the prisoner, kept
his friends back.

In the House ofCommous tonight the
bill for the preservation of peace in Ire
land was considered in Committee. The

tious journals was opposed by Mr.. Moore,
member for County Mayo. The bill was
passed through Committee, which was
ordered to b. reported to tRe House.
The Chimes" to-day s%eveFeIy criticises
Gen. Sheridan'S late campaigns against
the Indians. The Times thinks a firm,
yet kindly, compuIsion might save the
Indian race from extirpation.. The
Times has also an editorial article on
the proposed ship canal across the 18TH
mus of Darien. Looking at the surveys
lately concluded, the "Times" doubts
whether the practical value of the work
will be sufficient TO cover even the cost
The ship "GermaUia," in the West India
trade, last from a Haytien port for Ham
burg, was totally lost on the Goodwin
Sands, off the kentish coast, yesterday.
Tours.-In the High Court of Justice
to-day, NJ. FIoquet for the prosecution,
concluded his speech. The excitement
of the accused at times became unCOntrOl-
liable, and caused him 10 interrupt and
augrIIy reply to the counsel. The Court
imperatiyely insisted that NJ. Laurier
should address the prisoner less bitterly.
This was ~appIauded by the audience,
who gave unmistakable signs of favor for
the Prince.
Berlin.-The anti-miIitary agitation is
extending to the States Of South Ger
many. The subject is engaging the seri-
Gus attention of those Governments.
Paris.-The Constitutional says that
the Pope's answer to NJ. Daru has been
received, but the contents have not yet
been made known 10 the public.
Late advices from Liberia are to the
effect that that Government is prosecut-
ing am active warfare against the neigh
boring natives.
Rome, via London.-In the Ecumenical
Council Bishop Strosszner moved that
he entire concurrence of the E~piscopate
be necessary for the definition Of an ar
ticle OF faith. The motion caused extra
ordinary excitement, and met with evil
dent opposition. 1t is reported that the
Bishop was insulted, driven from the tri-
bune and threatened.

Tours, March 81.
The High Court of Justice resumed the
trial of Prince Pierre Bonaparte at IL
O'Clock this morning. While one Of the
lawyers for the prosecution was 60 duct
ing the crOss-examina,iOn ofthe witnesses,
he used an expression offensive to the
Prince, who violently interrupted the
proceedings, and, turning to the lawyer,
denounced him aud his party as "A faction.
FOnvielle, terribly excited, rose and called
the Prince an assassin. This caused
great confusion among the spectators
and in the Court. Fonvielle was t%orcioIy
taken out by two ~geRdarmes, The Procu-
reur-Geueral demanded the punishment
Of FonyieIle. = At the conclusion of the
arguments for the prosecution, M Fon-
vieIIe was brought in, and the presiding
Judge sentenced him to ten days C%Ontine-

Bishops at Rome refuse to assent to the

SEVERAL days since we stated
that Mr.. Morehead, a planter in
Louisiana, had been mysteriously
murdered. Since then we learn
from the Monroe Intelligcncer
that the name should have been
written Muirhead, and that he was
a resident of Richland PARISH
The Intelligencer says Mr.. Muir
head was engaged to be married to
a Mrs. Wade, daughter of Mr..
Holly, when a map named Berry
addressed Mrs. Wade, broke off
her engagement with Muirhead,
and engaged the lady to himself;
in consequence Of which the two
men fought. After which the
Hohys and Berry hired Thomas
]. Rogers and John N. Condell for
seventy dollars, a shot gun, and
suit of clothes each to kill Muir
head, which they did. They then
attempted to escape, but were
captured, and are now in conGne-
ment, as are the Hollys and Berry.

FIREMRN sUJECT TO MILITIA
DUTY

Members Of the fire companies
in the State labor under the belief
that they are exempt from militia
duty. This is an error. 1t is
true that there are fremen In the
State who are exempt from SER
vice in the militia but all firemen
are not. Only chartered Compa-
mics in whose charters this ex-
emption is declared, are free from
duty. It is therefore a matter OF
considerable importance to fire.
men to look into their charter priv
ileges. The mere fact Of being a
member Of q fire company exempts
no one. We are inclined to think
that It will be advisable, to avoid
trouble, that lists Of active mem
bers Of the fire companies, thus
exempted, should be deposited
with the Assessor to avoid enroll
ment. The militia act does not
exempt firemen as q class.

"SECTIoN 1S. And be it further
enacted, That it shall not be law
ful for any officer Of the army of
the United States on the active
list to hold any civil office, wheth-

and any such officer accepting or
exercising the functions Of a civil

The American people labor un
der the impression that the Presi-
dent or the United States is sworn
to execute the laws of the country.
In the Radical party, Gen. Grant
is recognized as the paragon OF
perfection, and of course, what he
does, is with that party, eminent
ly right. Now, we don't charge
the Chief Magistrate of the land
with perjury, but it is a singular
freak of forgetfulness, which in.
duces him in the face of his oath Of
Office and the above law, to con
tinue about his person Frederick
Dent, Major of Infantry and
Brevet Brigadier General Orville
G. BabCoCk, Major Of Engineers
and Brigadier General by brevet
and Horace Parker, Major Of Or
dinanCe and Brigadier General by
breYet.

A FIRE occurred in Monroe, La,
night before last, by which some of
the principal business houses with
their contents were destroyed. Mr..
King, a very heavy dealer in plan
tatiOn supplies, dry goods, grOCe-
ries, &C., was the principal loser.
II commenced in the ten-pin alley
opposite the Court House, and
burnt the entire square, except the
0uachita Telegraph Printing Office.
The old pecan tree that has been for
over sixty years the pet of the
town, is no more, II having been
destroyed by the fire. This is, it
would seem to a stranger, the
greatest loss, ss the citizens seem
to lament It more than anything
else.
