CITY improvements.

The site of the Varieties Theatre and
Liners stables adjoining will soon be occu-
pied by five large buildings, one double
edifice on the site of the theatre and three
stores on the ground where the stables
stood. The style of these buildings is the
prevalent modern order, iron and stucco
fronts and handsomely ornamented. BY
the real opening of the coming season these
structures will fill up the blank space in a
creditable appearance.
The old store No. 81 Common street no
longer suits the demand of the improving
age. The whole building has been recon
structed, and beautiful iron pillars and art
istic window caps will soon single out the
newly made building from its old style
neighbors.
The handsome and lofty edifice that re-
places the unsightly old structure whose
shell stood for a number of years on the
corner of Canal and Chartres streets, is
now close to completion. It rises five sto-
ries in height and is now one of the chief
among the finest Canal street beauties.

TRIAL OF DR.. EvERITT.-The case against
DR.. Everitt was continued until to-day at
ten o'clock, on account of the absence of
witnesses.
The case was resumed yesterday morning.
DR.. Everitt appearing with his counsel, II.
G. Castellanos, Esq the prosecution being
represented by Attorney General Belden
and District Attorney Gutenberg. The first
witness examined was DR.. c. +. MERCER,
whose testimony elected the same facts as
when examined on the preliminary trial as
to the firing of the shots and the position OF
Steinhardt and Switzer. Then followed the
testimony of Steinhardt, which brought out
nothing beyond what has been published
before concerning the conversation between
the witness and the prisoner, the use OF
threats and violent language. The testi-
mony of J. P. Cross, of the Septoline Oil
Company, in reference to the handwriting
of the accused, succeeded Mr.. Steinhardt.
The testimony of John Holmes, T. S. Salter
and George w. Ferguson, in relation to the
shots fired, the position of the accused and
the deceased, was given, when the case for
the prosecution was closed.
On the part of the defense Miss Dora
Sucker, the housekeeper, testified to the
visit paid at the house of the doctor by the
deceased and Ernest Steinhardt, and that
she did not see the accused with the letter
in the controversy.
DR.. g. N. Morrison, w. Irving Hodgson,
V Gerodias, w. H. Dyson, w. X. Rogers,
H. Cassidy, William Kennedy, Mic Miller
and D. NJ Hollingsworth were examined,
principally as to the character OF the &C
cused and they all testified to the quiet and
peaceable reputation which he bore in the
community, and his inoffensive habits gem
orally.
Then John f. Woodson and John Flem-
ing-the former of whom was engaged In
conversation with the doctor when accosted
by the deceased and Mr.. Steinhardt-were
examined. The former stated that the ac-
cused was roughly struck on the shoulder
by one of the two young men, at the same
time telling the witness to move OF or he
would get thrashing. The testimony OF
these two was substantially the same as
that given in the former examination.
At this point the trial was continued.

The Worlds excitement and fears regard

Yesterday it spoke of him as IAN arrant
egOtist,', and as volunteering to dig up the

may serve the Radical hyenas" as meat
1t accuses the leaders of the secession cause
OF being bogus statesmen, who plunged

The World concludes its article with the
hope that the Southern people may remove
Mr.. Davis out of sight, in accordance
with the Scripture maxim about burying
their own dead" Does the World wish that
Mr.. Davis should be killed? The language
it employs sounds that way. The sweet and
peaceful harmony which exists between two

of the World and the ex-president of the
confederacy is so obvious as to be eminently
indicative of the future success of the party
on their united ADMINISTRATIONS Am.

THE WANATA GUACo BITTERs-This is
fast winning its proper place in the esteem
of the public as a stomachic and anti

cases in which the Wanata Guaco Bitters
completely relieved confirmed invalids
while others claim for it that it will abso-
Iutely protect all who use 1t from the poison
Gus effects of the miasma of our swamp

spending their first summer here to get a
supply and use it constantly. Mr.. j. Llado,

1t is somewhat strange that persons are
still burned to death from carelessness in
lighting fires with coal oil. There is renewed
evidence lately of the extreme caution
which should attend the use Of any of the
infiammable oils.
William Spahr, accused, as reported sew
eral days ago, of dangerously wounding his
wife and committed to the Parish Prison on
the charge by Recorder Billings, now seeks

the present is not the lawful Recorder. This

The city tax assessors will soon have their
books ready for public inspection.
Parties whose stores or rising buildings

Mr.. Alexander II. Stephens appears to be
in very talkatlve mood nowadays. Half
dozen travelling correspondents have
lately visited him at his quaint old house
in Northern Georgia, to each of whom he
unbosOmed himself quite freely in refer
ence to the questions of the hour. He evil
IDENTIFY regards his opinions of much more
consequence than the country does. for
when he speaks of State rights, the political
future, the condition of the South, the next
presidential canvass and the nations policy
of reconstruction. he invariably requires
his listener to regard the conversation as
confidential, and refrain from printing what
be says. We are duly informed, however,
that he thinks the fourteenth and fifteenth
constitutional amendments gross usurpa-
tons of power, born of force and fraud"
that he considers we have fallen into state
of centralized despotism, that the negroes
are a dependent race and lack well-balanced
Judgment, that all respectable men regret
and condemn the Ku-klux Outrages, that
Frank Blair is not only man of nerve, but
an intelligent statesman. and that Tammany
is a disgrace and abOminatiOn to the
country. One solitary CLEAN of good sense
what he says about Tammany-can not save
him from condemnation. Knowing his
views on the other points named, we do not
need to be told what he formulated conf
dentially. Mr.. Stephens is as hostile as
ever to the cause which triumphed in the
rebellion, and as far as ever from possessing
the qualifications necessary to leader in
the enlightened republic of 1S7I.-Erery
Saturday.
