Contrary to expectation, the hop that
was to have inaugurated the series did
not come off las evening. but was post
poned until Monday. The actual settle
ment of the question as TO whether Cadet
Smith will or will not attend is therefore
deferred. The Sun man had an inter
view with the young man this morning,
however, and learned enough to enable
him to set the young ladies minds at rest
with respect to "that horrid Smith" He
will not attend the hops for reasons which
the reporter thought rehec:ed great credit
upon him. He eaid in reply to an inquiry
upon the subject:

THE COURTS.

In the Eighth District Court no sitting
will be bad until next Tuesday.
The main business of the civil courts con-
sists in the filing Of petitions, but no trials
Of cases on their merits will take place until
November.
The greater number of the members of
the bar seem to have already returned.
We hear of the preparation of several
suits for one of the great vrits in the Eighth
District Court. which suits are not vet fled,
and hence must pass without notice for the
present.
A suit for $500 francs, for a breach of
contract, against Eugene Philastre, has been
brought in the Fourth District Court, by
the Opera Association, which AYERS that the
defendant contracted with the association
to perform the duties Of scene painter, at a
stipulated salary, in August, 1870. TIE pen
atty for violating the contract was q for
feiture of salary, and the plaintiff sets up
that the forfeiture has taken place, because
the defendant neglected his work and re-
fused to obey orders, employed his time
in working for other theatres, and rendered
his resignation as scene painter at time
when his services were most needed Hence
the association pleads that the defendant
has forfeited his salary OF $500 francs for
the season.

Wall street was in state of feverish ex-
element throughout the day. The gossip
mOngers in the Stock Exchange opened the
campaign at an early hour and Suspended
no less than four banks and financial insti-
tutions, and also got up riot among the
park iaborere. These enterprising iudi-
viduals succeeded in precipitating the Stock
Exchange on the verge of panic.
At the height Of the depression leading
speculative shares showed q decline rang
ing from II to per cent. At times there
was great pressure of sales, and the deal
ings were enormous, while the excite
ment was equal to anything ever witnessed
when it became generally known that tho
reported bank failures and the riot wero
mere falsitications, there was quite q 70.

The easing up in the money market at the
close had the tendency to strengthen prices.
Money was irregular again to-day. Lead

mOdated at per cent currency to gold in
terest. while the weaker class Of borrowers
on the Stock Exchange had to pay q differ
ence of y to p to have their stock turned.
At the close the market became very easy.
and the rate for call loans dropped to 4. Il
is proper, however, to remark that this did
not take place until the brokers generally
had supplied themselves with money.
The selling Of investment securities BY
insurance companies continues, and was the
cause of the decline of one to two and one
half per cent in government bonds to-day.
These securities are sold brisk. ~ they have
. ready market and are easily converted
into cash. Wall street was visited to-day
by some prominent Philadelphia parties en-
deavoring to make arrangements to carry
their Reading stock. At times during the
day there was difference of one per cent in
the price of Reading between New York and
Philadelphia markets. The Stock Exchange
Was completely demoralized to-day by tho
high bending rates Of gold for actual busi-
ness.

The Chicago Grain Trade.

Now is the golden opportunity for New
Orleans to secure the Chicago grain trade.
The capacity of the grain elevators there,
most or all Of which were destroyed by the
recent fire, was II ,5s0, 900 bushels. Chicago
can not now store grain there, and hence
the important question was asked by Mr.,
John Newell. of Chicago, in q dispatch to
Colonel James T. Tucker, general Southern
agent Of the Illinois Central railroad in this
city:
Can You open shipments Of produce, via
New Orleans, cOastwise and abroad
Grain. if it can be transhipped here, can
be poured down to Cairo over the Illinois
Central railroad, and thence brought to
New Orleans in bulk by barges. We re-

Texas. The Houston Union Of the tenth

separate editorial paragraphs:
AT every poll that the Democracy have

the tickets will be thrown out.

THE FAZENDE TRIAL
ARGUMENT OF THE COUNSEL
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASE

The argument in the case of Mr.. John
Fazende, charged with the murder Of Marie
Estelle, mulatto girl, commenced to-day
IN the parish court of Jefferson, before Judge
Kern. District Attorney Mckay, on the
part OF the State, quoted from several legal
authorities to show that the beating the
girl received by Fazende was the remote
cause of death and consequently held that
the accused was guilty Of murder. j. j.
Roman, on the part Of the defense, followed
With an able argument; most of his efforts,
however, were devoted to comparing the
testimony Of witnesses of the State to show
discrepancies. Judge Scott followed, and.
at 3 T. NJ, the court adjourned to 10 A. NJ,
October l3, 1871, when r. King Cutler will
speak, and the district attorney will then
close the argument on the part Of the State.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASE.
Marie Estelle, a beautiful mulatto girl of
about eighteen years, had been a servant
girl in the the employ of John Fazende.
The girl Marie, among her other duties,
had the coffee to make in the morning,
which was usually made by the use of
spirit lamp. On the morning of August q,
1871, she lit the lamp and again retired.
The Lamp exploded, and the flames ignited
and run on the floor. Fazende called the
girl, Marie, and took. her by the arm and
brought her to see what he said she had
done. He then told her she must leave,
and took her to the door to put her out
At this point the testimony differs in the
following particulars: The State claim,
supported by several witnesses, that as
they got on the gallery, Fazende
struck her and she fell down,
where he jumped. on her with his knees on
her breast On the part of the defense,
supported by witnesses. that at the door
they fell down, Madame Fazende falling
with them. However, after this the girl
went home sick, and in eight days after
died. A post-mortem examination was
held, and resulted in the arrest of Mr.
Fazende on the charge referred to- The
girl Marie was more Of an associate of the
female portion of the family than q servant.
having been with them more than five
years, sleeping with them, going to church,
etc.
The case has attracted considerable in
terest, owing to the high social position of
Mr.. Fazende. His family. composed of sew
eral beautiful and highly accomplished
young ladies, have been in constant at

The Boston Transcript says:
The foreign trade of this port thus far
this season shows a marked Improvement
over last year. To-day fleet of vessels
came into port laden with rich and valuable
cargoes, among which were two ships from
the East Indies, tive ships and one brig from
Europe, and several from the West indies.
The aggregate value of the goods on board
these vessels will amount to a very large

countries on the way to this port, many Of
which are now due. They number in all
nearly a hundred sail of vessels, among
which are twenty-five from the East Indies,
and forty-nine from different ports in Eu-
