Carrying Concealed weapons.
Before Judge Bedford.
The first case called for trial yesterday by Assist
ant District Attorney Fellows was an Indictment
against Edward Ernbacht for carrying pair OF
brass knuckles. Mr.. Fellows said that the accused
was paralytic, and carried these knuckles to pro
tect himself against party who threatened to
assault him. He did not know that hewas violating
the statute. and the prisoner having consented to
plead guilty he (Mr. FeOws) suggested that judg-
ment should be suspended.
Larceny OF Clothing.
Albert Johnson charged with stealing on the LIST of
July s4s worth Of clothing from Aphonse Souperne,
pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, and
was sent to the Penitentary for one year.
An Assault Growing Out OF the ssstriIe.''
Martin Keefe pleaded guilty to an assault and
battery committed upon Peter Dirkmann on the
9th Of July II appeared from the evidence that
the prisoner was associated with other men who
were on strike, and that Dirkmann, an employe
he engaged to work as laborer for that establish
ment. Judge Bedford sentenced Keefe to the FEM
Tertiary for Elk months.
A Discharge.
Mr.. Hummel moved for the discharge OF Joseph
Calvin, who was charged with being accessory to
the homicide OF Roger Belts by jeremiah Evans,
who was convicted of misdemeanor. Mr.. Fellows
stated that as there could not be conviction OF an
the motion. BY order OF the Court a noUe prose.

A Husband Assaults His Wife and Her
ParamOur-Judgmen Suspended.

with perpetratng felonious assault upon Louisa
Trefz and Franz Lindeman on the 2sth Of May. He
stabbed his wife fourteen times In the body with
dagger and Lindeman four times. Mr.. Fellows in
formed the Court that the wife OF the accused left
him and was living In improper intimacy with Lin
deman. Trefz went to the house OF Lindeman and
there committed the offence, to which he pleaded
guilty. Both parties recovered. Mr.. Fellows
facetiOusly observed that it was perhaps I'M
fortunate for the prisoner that they did. II,
under the circumstances he had killed them 1t
would have been established to the satisfaction OF
the jury either that the doctors caused the death by
improper treatment or that the prisoner was insane
at the time, but as the parties got well he would
have to be punished.
The Judge stated that Lindeman wished to with
draw the charge and that he deserved all he got.
Having heard that statement His Honor suspended
Judgment.

Lewis Morton, a notorious young thief pleaded
guilty to stealing $5s worth OF clothing

Good Friday.

1t seemed 20 be the universal intention to
observe Good Friday, the anniversary OF
the crucitiXion occurring over eighteen
hundred years ago. That the greatest ex-
ample the world affords of humility.
patience and resignation might not be lost,
all the Catholic churches in the city were
shrouded in the habiiments which betoken
sorrow and sympathy, and the semblance
of the Divine Sufferer nailed upon the
cross was presented to the multitude, with
the implements of torture. The great prin-
ciple, 'No cross, no crown" of no reward
unless obtained by suffering and toll, was
everywhere present, and the stations of the
cross, the points where He was scourged
and driven, where He sank exhausted on
the sod, were all rehearsed in the attitude of
the devout. The people passed in streams
down Royal street to the Cathedral. and
back to the Church of the immaculate
Conception. on Baronne street, besides
thronging the street cars and visiting the
various churches in rear of the city. in
the Third and Fourth Districts, and in the
vicinity of the various markets. Though it
was the same old story told in all the tenn
Piles, the memory of the great Martyr is
destined never to perish, and the visitations,
as well as the fast. are but feeble evidences
at best Of the true Christian spirit To
day is Holy Saturday, the last day of Lent,
when the clothing of the temples will again
resume its PLACE. All the principal places
Of business were closed.

The programme of the daily races will
attract large crowd, and there will be
three races each day. The united purse
and stake of $4,000 will serve as an addi-
t!onal stimulus for the hoDors. Yesterday
the visitors to the track and course were
many, and arrangements made for the
event of the day. The great feature of the
coming week will be the gentlemens race,

The Iiibune's editorial on the call Of the
Liberal Republican convention says: The
letter OF certain New York Republicans to
Colonel Gosvenor, is the first unequivocal
response from the East to the overtures OF
the several Republicans OF the West for
consultation at Cincinnati, on Wednesday,
May |. Others will soan follow. There is
no longer an excuse for doubt that
the convention will be held and be
respectfully attended We presume that
should any important action be taken at
Cincinnati, those present from each State
would designate a portion Of their number
to cast the vote of their State in that CON
vention. but no one is excluded from at
tending, and the invitation is so broad that
many will doubtless be present wEo have
not heretofore been invited Cincinnati

Louisiana Politics.

We copy the following from the Eicks-
burg IjD,ts. though the statement as 70 the
return Of Governor Warmoth is some what
premature:
Governor Warmoth has returned from
his Northern trip, and We understand is
highly clated with the result OF that part
OF his visit that related to politics. War
moth is undoubtedly one of the shrewdest
boldcSt and most determined politicians of
his age in the country and is altogether
700 sagacioua TO be Outgeneraled by the OPP
position III Louisiana. 1t is understood
that the Warmoth and Pinchback party
are to call a Republican State convention
Oh the second of May, and it is said that
the Governor does not object to Packard's S
presiding. President Grant has more sa-
gacity than the party in Louisiana
who clam specially to champion him.
He discovered that whatever might
be the merits of the breach in that
State, that Warmoth and his friends could
not be ignored, and desiring peace and the
success of the party, he encouraged a recon-
ciliation. While Walmoth and his friends
have much to gain from an adjustment of
differences, the Carterites had more to fear
from their not being settled! WaImoth
can undoubtedly carry that State in pop
ular election; yet the opposition are insane
CIouSh w W ltIi u!Ill, dlltl HIltl ldull
with the President for attempting a recon
citation,
Warmoth signifying his Willingness 20
Withdraw his opposition to Pee -dert Grant,
has practically neutralized the federal orpo-
sitinn to his administration. and made his
denomination for Governor a iaIe9onc CON
clusion, and makes tbs. battle which Othe~-
wise would bave been severe contest, an
easy victory. We can not Say that We
especially admire Warmoth. but we have
always predicted that he would come ont
fast best and there is nothing more certain
