OUTRAGEOUS,

The Bee, carried away by partisan pre-
JUDGE, in speaking of the possibility of
Mr.. Bovee resorting to legal measures to
recover the Office of Secretary of State,
speaks as follows of the Eighth District
| Court:
That court has exclusive Jurisdiction in
| this parish of all writs and of all contesta-
tons for office. 1t is the Governors court
and tor Mr.. Bovee to go there, would be, as
the Irish are wont to put such an e4sbar-
rassment, "Suing the devil and holding the
court in hell"
This is simply a gross outrage-an at
tack upon judicial officer almost without
parallel-and one, if permitted to go I'M
rebuked, that must bring the court and
its sitting judge into contempt and dis
repute. Judge c. NJ. Emerson presides
over the Eighth Court, Judge Dibble
being absent on two months leave of
absence, and before him the ousted Sec
rotary of State must bring suit. Judge
Emerson was elected to the Third District
Court on the Democratic ticket, in 1868,
and since that time has discharged his
responsible duties with faithfulness and
impartiality that have won him universal
appreciation. He has for many years
lived useful member Of this community,
is good jurist, and this is the first in
stance-from either Republican or Demo-
cratic source-that we have known slur
cast upon his uprightness, conscientious
ness or official integrity.
When party journal is forced to de-
scend to such vile and unwarranted
charges to injure Governor Warmoth, it
is evidence sufficient that naught with
truth for basis could be found with |
which to attack him.

fetal duties.
General Herron's war record forms a
brilliant page in the history of the re-
bellion, and as merchant and public Of
icer since the war he is held in de-
servedly high estimation by this CON-
munity. He has taken an active part in
Republican contests in thls State, con-
tributing freely in time and money to help
secure the victories with which our peo-
pie have been blessed, and as member
of the late State Convention took an hon.
orable and leading position, which was
recognized by his selection as a member
of the new State Central Executive Com
mittee, and as chairman of one of its sub
committees.
The new Assistant Secretary of State,
Mr.. John W. Fairfax, is almost univer-
sally known and liked in the city and
State. Among journalists he is esteemed
very worthy member of the fourth
estate, and has earned his footing by
hard work in the ranks. He is secretary
of the Republican State Committee, and
will be aided by ripened experience and
sound Judgment in discharging whatever
duties may fall to his lot.

believed it had gone down for some time,

take another leap. In no stock has there
been a greater revolution than in this,
and its fall from $50 share, where it
once stood, to the present rate is another
argument to remind US of the insecurity
OF all earthly things. At present there is
little doing in it, and no disposition to

ON CARONDELET STREET.

We hear that large amount of Levee
stock was put upon the market for sale by
two gentlemen deeply interested in the
success of the company, one of whom be-
lieved the contract business was gone up,
and hence ordered his agent to sell.
From this source arose all the reports and
mere whispers that the contract was a
| failure, and in the breath of such discour-
aging news the stock has been on the de-
| scent. The Board of Directors newly
elected are now harmonious. In answer
to petition of planters asking to whom
shall they apply for building the levees,
the Governor answered, to the Louisiana
Levee Company, who are to do the work
contemplated by the law, and will soon
begin operations in due form. SO the
company has set to work in due
earnest, and when the temporary
effect of SO large number of shares
being now upon the market is dispelled
by negotiations the stock will rise. The
number of bears are not diminished.
Though there is now but small capital to
go upon to discredit the advantages of
the company and its future success, the
bears resort to calculations showing that
the stock is of less value than quotations,
though such figures are easily disbelieved
by holders. Stock sold yesterday at.
So so, So Is and some was offered at IS,
but buyers as well as sellers are cautious.
Soon as the disposition to unload ceases
the stock will assume the position to
which its rank entities it. That business
known by the expressive name of ''she-
nanegan" has almost entirely dropped
Yet there are very few sales notwithstand-
ing the stock is at a lower figure than its
collateral strength should place it. Those
who are loudest in reports against the
credit Of the company have no desire to
sell, though a hundred shares or so may
be put on the market for effect.
The pretensions Of factors are vet the
only obstacle to activity in cotton.
Whether their hopes will be realized de-
ponds more upon the signs of the coming
crop than upon anything else. Things
were yesterday almost at dead lock, as
must usually be the case when holders are
stiff and buyers unwilling. The senti-
ment, that the news and reports which |
came from Liverpool were in the bull in
terest was widespread, though we have
seen nothing to show that the advices
were not the simple facts of the case, I'M
colored and untarnisLed The majority
of these movements do not last long. If
not taken sat the food" moment. and
the chance is gone. Nothing can keep up
long in the present condition of the street,
and the lack of any spirit of investment
among the frequenters of the thoroughfare
deadens everything.
Gold goes its eternal round without
change, standing yesterday at 1929, while
the rate at New York ruled at 1922, sho&
ing either greater demand on Wall
street, or else less gold than here. The
imports received in New York (gold duties
being paid upon them amount to s1O,-

WILCOX & GIBBS celebrated NoISBLESS
SEWING MACHINES to be used by hand or foot
the only sewing machine recommended by the
Medical faculty for the Ightness and ease with
which delicate ladies can use it without injury to
their health; always ready and in order in fact it
has taken care and worry entirely away from every
household leaving sunny faces and rosy cheeks
instead.
Its needle which is straight and tire shortest in
use, selfadjusting and can not be set wrong and
is scarcely broken, even in careless hands
Its wheel never turns backward breaking the
needle and snarling the thread do the wheels of
all other machines. SO very quiet is it in opera
ton that il may well be styled the Sileut" Sewing
Machine To prepare it for work. all the operator
has to do is to select the proper needle and thread
adjust the tension and regulatesthe length of
stitch and this is very easily and quickly done
even by the inexperienced.
Its hemmers are unapproached in excellence by
those of any other Sewing Machine. The hem and
fell are turned under as they should be- instead of
over, as done with all other hemmers and thus the
fair side of the stitch is always on the right side of
the goods, where every lady wantsit.
Its seam is unequaled in beauty, strength and
durability, by that of any other machine. There
being but one thread, there is no reminding, and
no adjusting of shuttles under-tensons The loop
being twisted its stitch is less liable to lip other
wise to fail in use or wear than any other stitch
now made. 1t has also this great advantage: the
seam, by first unlocking it, be easily taken cut
if desired.
Upward of one hundred thousand of these ma
chimes have already been sold for use in families.
and, so far as know, every one of them has given
satisfaction. Many hundreds are now in use in
this city and vicinity.

All who know anything about grand
juries, know they are one-sided concerns,
but the report of the Grand Jury recently
made in regard to the outrages that are
said to have been perpetrated in the Boys
House of Refuge, excels even the Plea
yotne in this respect. While it is common
for grand juries to receive but er pdTte
testimony to send man for trial, it is IN
common for newspapers that regard JUS
tice to publish only such testimony as is
calculated to prejudice the cause of jus,
tee. Upon the testimony of parties
whom, it is believed, are instigated by
malice, more than a sense of justice, in
making out a case in advance of fair
and impartial trial, against Messrs. Henry
and Schwind, the Picayne has published
a woful tale of cruelty, and actually ex-
cited feeling against these men that
should only exist when, after fair trial
in accordance with law, they had been
adiudged guilty.
