What It Costs TO Exoluds & Negro frsn a
Gatnan

New ORLEANS, April 1.-Two col
Ored graduates of Howard University,
District of Columbia, this morning
filed applications to the Supreme
Court for admission to the bar of this
State. The application was refused,
on the ground that, although parties
who have practced before the SU-
preme Court Of any State can be ad-
mitted, upon motion, before any
Court, yet these candidates, coming
from 4 territory, do not come within
the letter Of the law, and will have to
/ pass examination before the commit
tee appointed by the Supreme Court,
before they can be admitted to prac-
tice.
Judge Debble gives Sheriff Sauvi-
let, Colored, $4,000 damages, in his

saloon, for refusing to furnish refresh
ments on account Of color, and not OF

Ordinance Department Of the 81.
Louis Arsenal is transferred to Jetter-
son Barracks, and the old arsenal site

There is very little, if any, doubt
that the fisheries and navigation canal
and the river st. Lawrence have been
considered by the Joint High Com
mission as separate questions, but the
details have not been arranged.
These subjects, with the principles on
which the claims against Great Br1-
tain are to be settled, and the arbitra-
ton of the San Juan question, are all
to be embraced in one treaty and sub
mitted to the Senate.

The most ~atrOeious murder recorded
in years as having occurred in the
United States, is that Of Jacob and
Betsy Harper, brother and sister Of
old John Harper, the well-known
Kentucky stock raiser and owner OF
"Longfellow." The Louisville Ledger
says that robbery was no doubt
the motive for this fearful crime, as
nothing was missed from the house
but the pocket-bOOk, which Jacob
Harper invariably carried in 3 pocket
made for the purpose in his under
clothing. The theory Of a difficulty
between one OF the negroes viii hard
ly account for the murder Of Miss
All but two CT three of the
negroes had been bonn in the family;
had always been treated like children
the old people, and were very much
attached to them. But the Harpers
very wealthy and somewhat &c.
They loaned q good deal of
money, and a notion prevailed in the
leighborhood that they kept large
Jums in the house rather than trust
he banks with its safe keeping. 1t is
needless 10 say that the kentucky au-
.horities are doing all In their power
arrest the criminals.
