Full Cabinet Present-State Tax ON Zen
rage Uscesstisutienal.
WASHINGTON, October 30.-Au the mem
bers of the cabinet are present: the session
tomorrow will be a full one.
The Supreme Court to-day decided the
case of Cox ct al versus Lott, in error to
Supreme Court Of Alabama, the case being
levy by Lott, q local collector, on the
boats Of plaintiff in error, under an act OF
craft in navigable waters Of the State OF
one dollar per ton on the registered tonnage
thereof. The decision was that the State
might levy tax in another form upon the
value OF the vessel; it can not upon tom
mage. The judgment of the court below il
reversed and the case remanded.
In the Supreme Court, to-day, the follow
ing decision was made: No. 69, the State of
Louisiana ex rel Handlin VS.. G. n. Wick.
Louisiana. In this case Wickliffe, State
Auditor, refused 70 pay the relator his
salary as Judge of the Third District Court
Of New Orleans, after his removal from
office, and this proceeding was the result.
The relat0r was appointed by Military
Governor Shepley and removed by Gov
ernor Hahn, who was subsequently elected
under q provisional form Of government,
and was also appointed military governor
Uy VIC Z 3TtblUeut. d1nOUQ contested the
right to remove, and the court below af-
frmed it.
This court now says, in substance, that
the appointment of the relator was purely
military, and was subject to revocation
whenever, in the judgment of the military
governor, revocation should become neces-
sarv OF expedient.
The adoption Of constitution and the
election of Hahn during the war did not a.
feet the military occupation in the Judgment
Of the national authorizes. for Hahn was
appointed military governor by the Presi-
dent.
The situation was not changed; Hahn
had the same right to remove that his pre-
lecessor had, and if the situation was
changed. another civil constitution of the
state was in full operation independent of
military control. Handlin's Office closed of
necessity. and Governor Hahn had what
,ver right the constitution gave to enforce
he vacancy by removal, and to fill it by q
lew appointment. Chief Justice Chase de-
ivered the opinion.

The Iberville South says of the crops
and weather:
Thus far, not much sugar has been made
in this parish Those who have com
menced rolling find the yield is small
scarcely averaging one hogshead to the
acre on good cane. On Thursday morning
we had rain, which did more harm than
good, especially as the weather continued
warm. We have had no cold weather vet,

A severe St0ru.

There were slight rains during the day
yesterday, with fresh winds, which culmin-
ated between five and six o'clock in heavy
showers, peals Of thunder and flashes Of
lightning. By halfpast six o'clock, many
OF the streets Of the city were improvised
into lakes, and the banquettes in some in.
stances, we're SO entirely submerged, that
they did not even form the lake shore. The
violence of the rain ceased before eight
O'Clock. and by eleven o'clock the streets
were nearly all dry again.
SO defective is our drainage, that an
hours heavy rain will inundate the most of
the streets and banquettes in the city, as it
is absolutely impossible for the water to run
off as fast as it falls.
Our weather correspondent, Mr.. prob
Abilities" may be little confused as to
dates, but the inference from his dispatches
is, that storm of severity will be devel-
oped today in the lower Mississippi valley,
and move northeastward to the Ohio valley.
Cautionary signals were ordered for last
evening at New Orleans, Buffalo and Os-
wego.
The American telegraph Office on Camp
street is provided with a red lantern as a
cautionary signal, but the managers were
deferred from putting it out for the reason
that it might be mistaken for another estab-
lishment By young gentlemen who were top
heavy with benzine, and would be likely to
call for halfdozen stewed.
Between ten and eleven O'Clock last night,
the moon and stars were struggling for su-
premacy over the clouds, but an hour after
ward it became thick and hazy, so we re-
main in doubt whether the probabilities
man refers to the severe storm of last eve
ming or means to predict storm of severity
to-day. We shall see.

THE CITY HALL.

A New Confidence Game.
The following letter was received by tn
Mayor yesterday:
| CHICAGO RELIEF AND Am Socyrry
Standard Hall, Chicago, October 26, 1871.
DEAR SIR-We are in receipt of lette
from Mr.. Charles Willeeton, Of your CITY
asking us to pay over from our relief funt
500 to one Mrs. D. B. White, stating tha
this sum was handed to him "by q youns
man" for euch party, and he, Wil1eston
passed it into the New Orleans contribution
for Chicago. Without casting the slightes,
reflection on the strict veraciry of our cor
respondent, yet we can not possibly act OF
such vague and unauthorized notice, and
would be obliged for your advice in the
matter. No. II Perdido street is Mr.. vii
1est0n's address. and if you happen to be
aware of the correctness Of his statement,
or can conveniently ascertain concerning il
for our guidance, it will enable me to act
understandingly:
The Mayor, after making diligent search
through his detectives, replied to the effect
that no such party as Mr. Willeston had yet
claimed the hospitalities Of No. IL Perdido
street. that charming hospitium being closed
to the thirsty as well as the refugees from
Chicago until tomorrow night.
Sales Of Market Revenues.
The Mayor and the Administrator Of Com
merce, Mr.. Remick, are both opposed to the
new proposition to sell the leases Of the
markets by the year. The present system
of selling them by the month, they think,
brings more money into the city treasury
Besides, it is thought that the proposition
to sell by the year would, if carried out,
have the effect to enrich some wealthy con-
tractor at the expense Of the public.
All Saints' Day.
Mr.. j. B. Carter, superintendent of public
schools, informs US that the schools will be
closed to morrow, the occasion being the
celebration Of All STUNTS Day, when the
children attending the Catholic schools all
turn out to witness the decoration of the
tombs of their loved and lost relatives and
friends.
Department Of Improvements-The Cave
at Louisa Street.
In addition to the cave in the levee from
MOntegut to Clouet street, another cave Of
two hundred feet has taken place at Louisa
street, making continuous cave of five
hundred and seventy-fve feet at the ship
wharves in front of the Levee Steam Cot
ton Press and other presses. Two wharves
have fallen in, causing damage to the ship
ping interest, and expense to the city.
Department Of Finance.
Administrator Walton yesterday received
two proposals for the purchase of four
wharf bonds. Two bids only were put in.
one by, Eager, Ellerman & Co., at 81, and |
the other by NJ. Henry. at g. The former
vas accepted.
1t is rumored that an ordinance will be
in the Council to-day, for farm
ng out the collection of about 100000 of
3ack taxes, at a commission of twenty per
,ent, to be paid the modest individual who
bids for the contract. Would it not be we'll
or the Council to deliberate week before
passing on a matter Of such serious i'm

The Creditors of the First National Bank.
The following extract from letter from
General West to the REPUBLICAN will be
interesting to the creditors of the First Ma
tional Bank Of New Orleans:
A number of the creditors of the First
National Bank have written to me in regard
to an additional dividend. 1t will be an
answer to them all, if You will say that

The Rule Relative to Cotton on Board
Steamers,

The following rule relative to cotton on
board Mississippi river steamers was
adopted by the Board Of Supervising In
spectors at Washington. on the twenty
fourth instant 1t also applies to hay and
other similar inhammable merchandise:
RCLE 81. When bale of cotton ia in
''merchantable condition as to compactness
and covering, it shall be considered as com
plying with the provisions of the fourth
section Of the act OF February q. requiring
all baled cotton to be thoroughly covered
with bagging and completely pressed. Cot
ton well and securely put up IN bags shall
not be considered as loose cotton: nor shall
hay, when used in feeding stock on board.
he considered as loose hay, within the
meaning of the law. The tearing Of the
bagging in handling or cutting it for sam
pling cotton or other purposes, when the
same is repaired at the earliest moment
possible, shall be considered as sufficient
grounds of complaint.

At Lyceurrl Hall.

The bird show, advertised under the al.
lucrative title of Sam Sharpley's silver
show, to take place at Lyceum Hall last
night, failed for want Of an audience. The
heavy rain doubtless had something to do
with it. Another trial will be made to-
night
