The suit of L. II. Gardiner against NJ. L..
Bruce & Co. was yesterday decided by
Judge Collens, the particulars being as fol
lows:
In this case suit was entered on January
9. 1872, on certain prOmissOry notes to the
amount Of $500, part OF which was alleged
to he due, while the balance was payable
on January 81 and February 49, 1872, and

PENDANTS were about to assign or dispose of
their property, and to remove the same out
of the State, with intent to defraud their
creditors, a writ of attachment was issued.
and the property of the defendants at
tached.
On the tenth of January, defendants,
through counsel. took a rule to set aside
the attachment, representing that the at
tachment was issued on representations
which were false, and made for the pur-
pose of injuring defendants in their bust
ness and to draw money from them to pay
plaintiffs claim, against which they con-
sidered they had a legal defense to set up.
Under these and other showings, the rule
came up for trial on Monday, the result OF
which being that the attachment was set
aside and the property released.

When Mr.. Pinchback was elected acting
Lieutenant Governor and President of the
Senate. the opposition. aided by every
Democratic vote in the Senate, participated
in the session and election, the Democracy
polling solid vote for Mr.. COPELAND, while
every vote the Governors candidate re-

and found him barbarously ironed. He or

was arrested. The man, whose real name
is j. w. Thurman, states that he was
drugged at Lake Providence some ten days
ago. and when he came to his senses found
himself on board a steamer, loaded down
with irons. on his way to Missouri.
1t appears from the mans own statement,
and from that of others who know him,

was commuted to imprisonment in the Alton

Union soldiers, and, on one occasion. tried
as a spy and sentenced to be hanged, but
was pardoned by the President through the
intercession of General Harding, to whom
he had always been true, and atterward he

The d1sgraceful condition of affairs in
New Orleans. where two Radical factions
have overturned the local government and
shed the blood of innocent citizens, is a
striking and eloquent example of what the
teachings of that party may lead to. In
this ease, it is the white leaders. in open
daylight, setting aside the laws, and i'll
'augurating determined rebellion. Now, IT
is pertinent to ask. if these leaders commit
these crimes publicly, what outrages may
we not expect to result from their midnight
teachings upon the minds of ignorant
negroes, especially when the carpet baggers
themselves remain behind the scenes
We will just remind the Republican that
the revolutionary leaders here are Demo
orats, and that party is responsible for the
attempt to overturn our State government.
