Deserving q Ship.

United States VS.. Dedrou Bruseau.-An-
tome Vincent, the captain of the French
bark La Bordelais, charged that he shipped
the defendant as a common sailor, at Bor-
deaux, for the term of three years, to sail
to different ports, and that having arrived
at the port Of New Orleans, the said Bru-
seau attempted to desert, and thereupon he
was arrested.
The case came up for examination yester r
day before United States Commissioner
Weller. The defendant alleged that he had
been cruelty treated during the voyage from
Bordeaux to New Orleans, and claimed
wages for six days, the period Of his confine.
ment in the Parish Prison. He asked that
he be discharged from his contract to serve
three years.
The Commissioner held that he was not
entitled to his discharge, and committed
him to Jail to await the departure of the
vessel next week for Bordeaux.

Ua1eed States COmmioolOoeF'o Court.
Yesterday ut eleven o'clock, four young
men from sixteen to eighteen years Of age,
were brought before United States Com
missioner Weller, charged on the affidavit
Of George Bays as follows:
The afliant makes oath that he resides in
the parish Of Tangipahoa; that in the
parish Of St. Tammany, Louisiana, on the
twenty-frst OF October, 1871, Samuel
Cooper, Robert Cooper, Henry Cooper and
Frank Hoover, unlawfully did band to-
gether and c0nspire, with intent to opprees,
lntimidate and i1jure affiant in his free ex-
ercise and enjoyment of the rights and
privileges secured to him under the consti-
tuition Of the United States-to wit, the
right to reside in the parish Of Tangipahoa.
And further, ,afiant charges that said Samuel
Cooper, Frank Hoover ct al, in carrying
into effect the object Of the said combine
ton and conspiracy. did, with slung shots
and bowie knife, make an assault upon
and beat the affiant. And further, affiant
charges that the parties accused did con-
spire to deny him the protection of the
laws.
1t appeared from the testimony of George
Bays that he and his daughter, Miss Della
Bays, blooming belle Of eighteen summers,
went to rustic party at Tangipahoa on
the night Of the twenty-6rst of October,
where, with fiddling and dancing, they
''roused the owls with q CATCH" making
night hideous with their rustic hilarity.
Early in the evening the fumes Of certain
light potations began to obfusticate the
brains Of the revelers, and q rough and
tumble row took place, in which Mr. George
Bays was the bottom dog. In the rumpus
it seems that Miss Della Bays struck Mr..
Hoover, ayouth Of seventeen, with riding
whip, but, notwithstanding this, he gallant
ly accompanied her home, riding on his
war horse by the side cf her amblipg pal
frey distance of mile and . half among
the whispering pines bordering the limpid
Tangipahoa.
During this solitary ride the moody Miss
Della Bays spoke never word of unkind-
ness, but, with pouting lip, accepted the es-
cort Of her cavalier, who safely delivered
her to the arms Of her expectant maternal
relative.
The commissioner said that the accused
had violated no constitutional rights of Mr..
Bays, and were amenable only to the local
law. He took occasion to read them lee
ture on the improperly of keeping up ex-
citement arising out of political issues, and
warned them that their parish had bad
reputation for disorderly conduct, and it
would be best for them not to appear here
again.
In conclusion, the commissioner could see
nothing in the case having political aspect
and discharged the prisoners.

j. D. O'CoNNELL, Secretary.

A change took place yesterday evening in
the directory Of the Mississippi and Mexican
Gulf Canal Company, consisting in the
election of Lafayette Folger, Esq, as presi-
dent. DR.. James O. Noyes, who for SO long
time has held the position, resigned in
order to become an active superintendent
Of the work on the canal, and to push the
operations forward as rapidly as possible.
The finances Of the company will fall under
the direction Of the president, whose ability
in this respect is we'll known. In short. the
stockholders have gained by this division of
labor, and the prospects of the company may
be considered better.
