THE COURTS.



Heirs of John Slidell vs.. Germania Ma
tional Bank; w. r. Fish. defendant in
warranty-The exception filed by the de-
PENDANT, that he held the property under
decree of the District Court of the United
States for the Eastern District of Louis
lana, and marshal sale made thereunder,
came up for argument on yesterday before
Judge Theard. Clarke, Bayne q Kenshaw,
for the plaintiffs, maintained that the paper
filed was not an exception, but an answer
to the merits. Judge Hawkins took the
position that the paper filed was per-
emptOry exception. or in common Ia" pnra-
seology was plea IN bar. ihat the
decree of the District Court OF the United
States under which the property was sold,
was absolute in its terms, ana conveyed the
prOperty in fee, for all time and against all
persons.
That in the present action the court must
mass on the validity and effect of this de-
cree before it could go further in the case.
That this could not be done collaterally,
and therefore it was estopped until the de-
cree was set aside by direct action. That
this court had not jurisdiction to inquire
into the nullity or limitations of judgment
of another court of competent jurisdiction.
Mr. E. C. Billings, on the same side, some
what elaborated the same views III main
tanning the exception.
After the arguments were concluded,
Judge Theard held that the paper filed was
an exception, which had been properly
pleaded as such, and ordered that it be
oumulated with and tried at the same time
with the merits of the case At the same
time, the rule discharging the lessee, the
Ger,nania National Bank, from further con-
nection with the suit came on for trial.
This motion for discharge by the bank was
presented and argued by their attorney,
Mr. Budeke, and Messrs. Hawkins and
Billings, attorneys for defendant, Fish. 1t
was opposed by Mr. Clarke, attorney for
plaintiff The motion was sustained, and
the Germania National Bank was dismissed.

A climmer of Hope for New Orleans.


The Philadelphia North american, in the
closing paragraph OF an extended editorial
upon the progress of the past three years,
says:
The truth is that the whole lake coun-
try is thus exposed, and latterly foreign
interests have been concentrating anew at
New Orleans, to operate in the Mississippi
valley
1t is undoubtedly true that foreign in
terests are concentrating at New orleans
with view of organizing a colossal carry,
ing trade between the. populations OF
Europe and the cities of the Mississippi
basin. Under the present favorable i'm
porting law there is no reason why Pitts
burg, Wheeling, Evansville, Cincinnati,
Louisville and Cairo, on the Ohio; Omaha,
Council Bluffs, Leavcnworth, Kansas City.
Jefferson City and St. Charles, on the Mis-
souri,: Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Winona, La
Crosse, Dubuque, Burlington. Davenport,
Keokuk, Quincy, st. Louis and every other
city on the Mississippi; Beardstown, on the
Illinois; Shreveport, on the Red, or Camden,
foreign goods directly from foreign ports.
via New Orleans, in water craft adapted
TO the condition of the streams which flow
past their doors.
This being true. there is no reason, save
the lack of facilities for so doing, why the
cereals and staples of the Mississippi basin
should not move cheaply down to New Or
leans by water and meet the foreign goods
needed by the cities mentioned, and bring
them cheaply back. Steamships built OF
iron. drawing less than fifteen feet loaded
are now easily enough built, and they, are
the kind needed for this business; and We
believe that in less than two years time
several lines of such steamers will be ply
ing between Liverpool and New Orleans
adapted for carrying grain III bulk, cotton
tobacco, -four. or whatever the exporters Of
the Mississippi basin might desire to export
and to bring back dry goods, all manner OF
general merchandise and emigrants. Tt
insure success, we believe English grain
merchants will open houses in New Or
leans, and English importing houses bt
opened there, and that lines of properly
constructed iron steamboats, and barSes
will in time penetrate every navigablt
water course of the Mississippi valley.
