THE SITUATION IN NEW ORLEANS.

At last accounts everything wa S
quiet in New Orleans, though men
were looking anxiously for tue re-
suit of the Radical attempt to reduce
Louisiana to " hat Mr. Beekwith
would call a "municipality." The
case of Kellogg VS. Warmoth was still
in course Of argument in the FEEDER
al Court. On Wednesday Mr.. Eus
It's and Judge Howe made splendid
arguments on the side Of Warmoth
and The people of Louisiana. We
cannot believe that Judge Dnrell can
reason himself into the opinion that
the Federal Courts have any juris-
diction over the local elections Of a
State.
But Governor Warmoth's vigilant
eyes, and laborious hands, will leave
nothing undone to save the people
from the usnrpations Of lie logg and
Company. He has called the new
Legislature together to. meet in the
city of New Orleans on Monday next
to take tie present crisis into con-
sideration. Various rumors al e
afoat as to the main object of this
call. The most plausible is the fol-
lowing. In view of the Instructions
thrown in the way Of counting votes,
by the new Returning Board, Gov
ernor Warmoth has signed the Elec-
ton Bill passed by the Custom
House party last winter The new
Law provides for the election by the
Legislature of a Returning Board
The Legislature will probably elect
such Board, as soon as it shall as
semble, which will be entrusted with
the counting of the votes cast for the
different Offices at the late election.
We Shall look for the proclamation
of The result within week.

liant has the Governor been, none of

HAMS Of the Kellogg party 10 be
tempered with as best suits their pur-
poses. They are all perfectly safe
and will be heard from in due time.
The New Orleans judges and other
officers of the Courts have been sworn
in and everything is moving like
clockwork. We predict that such
will be the case all over the State in
a fortnight. In the mean time let
our friends be Of good cheer and pos
sess their souls in patience.

THE LATEsT.-We have glanced at
New Orleans papers of Saturday and
find the situation in New Orleans but
little changed. The Kellogg VS. War
moth case was continued over to Mon
day, the I'd inst, owing to the ILLNESS
of Randall Hunt, one of the counsel for
the defence. The newly elected Mayer
and Administrators were installed into
Office on last Friday.
Horace Greeley, our late candidate
for the Presidency, is dead. He cX-
pired on the goth November at 10 nIIn
utes to 7'o'clock p. NJ.
Full returns of the late election, as
made up and tabnlated by the clerks OF
the late board of canvasscrs are pub
lished in tie New Orleans Times, ex-
cept the Parishes of Carroll, Ibervile,

Condition Of Mr.. Greeley.

New York, Nov. 2s.-The Tribune,
this morning, says: awe are deeply
panied to say that in tie last tl'irty-tix
hours Mr.. Greeley's condition assreat,
ly changed for the worst, though yes
terday lie remained nearly al the time
unconscious. In a counsel of some Of
the most eminent physicians in this
city only one was without hope. but all
regarded the case as critical and
alarming.
The World says: "Tbere seems to
he good reason for believing that the
quoting assurances of Mr.. Greeley's
friends as to the state of lis mental
health are not borne out by exact facts.
We are informed upon good authority
that within the past two days Mr..
Greeley has been examined by two ex-
perts, one tile head of well known
asylum, and that the verdict as to Ills
condition is very unflvorable. 1t is
said that the form ofmental alienation
manifested by Mr.. Greeley is selfre-
proacl,, and agony of mind at what he
deems the great mistake of his presi-
dental candi1atu,e. He is in danger,
it is asserted, Of melancholia. The
most lnemable form of lunacy. One of
the physicians thought that perhaps Ivy
quiet and attention lie might recover
his mental health Int the principal Of
the ass, lum to which we have referred
does not think that there is more than
one chance in ten of Mr.. Greeley s
complete recovery. There is, however,
a chance. Persons intimate Will, Mr..
Greeley know how intense are his per-
sonal feelings. Tie death ofhis wife,
and the sleep!essness consequent upon
his watch by her death bed, followed
Ivy the unfortunate result Of the cleo
ti"n, have, it is feared by those best
allie to judge, proved too severe a
strain upon lis bodily and mental
health. .-#
The Herald also announces an unflv-
o,able turn in Mr.. Greeley's illness,
and says: EIt pains us to SAY that the
great journalist is very low aud sink
ing rapidly" ~"

WALKING-Mr. h. Il. Kendall, in
the San Francisco Alta California,
gives an account Of n pedestrian tonr
made by himself and DR.. Bourne from
Portland, Oregon, TO San Francisco,
the distance being 500 miles. The
doctor subsisted entirely upon Graham
crackers and fruit, and Mr.. Kendall
says he did the same mainly, though
he occasionally partook of something
else. They slept out of doors several
nights, although they had no blankets
or other preparations tor doing so.-
Mr.. Kendall says: "My experience
during this wall, warrants the conclu-
sion tlat something between twenty
and twenty five miles is a fair days
work of walking; twenty miles is un-
der work, twenty five miles little
over work, and thirty miles is exl'ans-
ton. Several times we walked thirty
miles and more day, and on one oc.
casion tlliIty-six." This is probably a
very tair statement of the average
walking capacity Of men not especially
trained or endowed for the exercise.
1t gives a little over three miles an
hour for short of eight hours walking
daily, which is enough for long
stretch not on wager.

When the blush of my life's morning
From my cheek hath fled for ave-
Say, canst thou love then? ~.
Canst thou love me when the lustre
OF my eyes blue orbs hath j,aled;
When my limbs are slrunk AZ 4 stiffenI
And their strength and use hath failed
Say, canst thou love me then:
Canst thou love me when my tresses
OF dark brown are touched with gray.
And my youths light song of promise
From my heart hath fled away
Say, canst thou love me then? s
Capst thou love me when with furrows
Care and age hath lined my brow; s.
Canst thou love me then az fondly
As thou seem'st to love me now?
Say, canst thou love me then?
Cinst thou love me when the bounding
Ofmy step now light and free,
Heavy, dull and set seems sounding
The sad knell ofyoulh to thee
Say, canst thou love me then?
Canst thou love me still 40 deeply,
Aud as fondly breathe my name, s
When old age bows down my body, b
Doth my heart still prove the same
Say, canst thou love me still?
Did know that through such chanaes
Thou couldst see auglitto admire,
l should know thy love was CONSTANT
All that could cen desire.
Canst thou love through such changes.
Is thy love, then, of that nature
That will stand the test of time?
When stern cares crowd around thee
C:lnst thou love az now, love, mine
Canst thou love me then as now?
Ill believe thy tender promise
I'll believe thy love will last
Though my youth hath gone. and faded
Is the beauty of the past. 81
Ill believe thou'lt love me still.

COURT QE GsnsaAL SESSIONS.

The Trial OF Emile Andrie for Shooting
His Vife-Onc Witness Exa mi ned
The Case Adjourned to Obtain Proof OF
the Name of the Woman Killed.
Before Judge Bedford.
The trial OF Emile Andre, charged with killing his
wife, was resumed yesterday in the Court OF Gen.
eral Sessions, before Judge Bedford. District
Attorney Fellows called DR.. John Beach, who tes.
titled that he made post-mortem examination of
the body of the deceased at the Morgue; he found
on the right side of the head behind the ear very
large, rough wound, which entered the skull, into
which he could readily put his finger; he pulled
out some wadding; there were no other ex.
ternal marks OF violence upon the body. The
doctor traced the course OF the wound to the
brain and found that it went across the brain lust
behind the spinal cord, and had fractured the
whole base OF the skull; the hemisphere OF the
brain was also lacerated to considerable extent
and the slugs now produced he got from the
substance OF the brain; the death was instan-
taneOus from the destruction OF the base OF the
brain, wounding the spinal cord, which was caused
by the wound already spoken Of: there were pow.
der marks on the surrounding flesh.
Cr0ss-examlned by Mr.. Bro0ks-l found the in.
terna organs healthy and the uterus in q state Of
pregnancy; estimated that the period OF gesta-
ton was between four and five months removed
the fGtus from the womb.
At this juncture Assistant District Attorney Eel.
lows stated that he would rest the case for the
people as soon as he could prove two facts-frst,
that the pistol now produced was the one which
handed to Oficer Kennedy, and, secondly, that the
Mrs. Andrie who was killed, and whom 1t was in
proof was the vile OF the prisoner, was Leoni
Andrie, as charged in the indictment.
Counsel for the prisoner declined to admit those
important technical points, and after considerable
talk between counsel the Court adjourned till
Thursday morning in order TO AFFORD the prosecut-
ing officer time to procure witnesses to establish
these facts.
The New York herald., 1872-11-21

held, application Is made to Judge Fancher
at Supreme Court, Chambers, on behalf OF Mrs King
for an order to show cause why the custody Of the
children should net be awarded 10 her. This appu-
cation was made yesterday morning The chill
dren-their ages respectively dve, eight and
eieven-were produced In Court, and very pretty
children they are. though 1t was scarcely evident
from their appearance tnat they comprehended the
nature OF the great calamity that had befailen
them.
Ex-Judge Fullerton presented to the Court the
report OF Judge Josiah Sutherland, the referee ap
pointed to take the testimony in the divorce case
between King and his wife, He qGseo aSs cass saas
the custody OF the children ., should rea,,ree ee
mothers care, AS there was no appearance on m
behalf OF Mr.. King, the Court directed an order 10
be entered awarding the children to their mother.
The Judge, however, had not signed the order pe-
fore Mr.. A. ]. Vanderp0el, counsel ior Mr: AinR,
arrived In court and stated to the Court tnaL snc
order to show cause had been granted before Judge
Sutherland's report had been made, and IL was not
before the Court when the default had been taken,
and that there was no need OF 80 mucn haste, ~
the children were being well taken care OF ana !no
mother allowed access to them at all times. OWlnX
to the position Of Mr.. King in the TomDS ne nao
been unable to consult with him In regard 70 tne
matter, and therefore asked time for such con-
sultation before the Judge would decide the mat
ter. Upon this statement, and after nearing Mr.
Dupignac, counsel for Mrs. King, Judge Fancner
decided not sign the order which he mad granted
by default aud adjourned the further hearing until
Friday morning at ten O'Clock.
