racing, music and a grand review of the

The crew of the Riversides are as follows:
P. Gallagher, T.. Gleason, T. Madden and

and Mr.. r. E. Diamond is substitute. The
Pelican crew is not named, but we are sutfi-
ciently acquainted with that club to know
that they will put strong force on the oar.
Although they have been practicing in still
waters the Pelican boys have the nerve and
sinew to do good work in any contest. on
the other hand the Rlversides are full Of
pluck and determination; and they have
got the force, too. So we may look out for
a good race. The Orleans Club, of course,
will greet friends and guests at their boat

stream, so declared by treaty anG by act of
Congress, and that the plaintiff had no
right to run his fence so as to prevent or OBJ
struct the navigation Of. the bayou and the
public use of it's banks for all purposes of
commerce, etc. There is no doubt Of the
fact that the bayou has been dedicated to
the purposes of commerce, and its banks
are free to all persons. c. c. 455, 453.
It follows that the proprietor Of the land
had no right to obstrucJ the public use Of
its banks SO as to prevent any person from
using them within the limits fixed by law.
The evidence in this case shows that the
vessel occupies but forty-nine feet OF the
bank Of the bayou, measured from the
water, and that the injary done to the
plaintiffs fence was within forty eight to
sixty-six feet of the water, leaving space
of eleven feet to his fence. Whether the
road on the west side of the bayou was q
public road by usage or not, is not material.
Had it been a wilderness any one had Q
right to the use of the banks If the plant
iii had right to put picket fence there
he had the same right to build brick wall
This is inconsistent with the purpose Of
Congress declaring the bayou to be . navi-
gable stream, and with the letter and spirit
of the provisions of our code in declaring
the banks of all navigable streams free for
the use OF the public. do not deem it
necessary to cite the various authorities on
the subject. Besides, the Quantum of dam
ages, did any lie, would be the cost Of ye-
pairs, and such as due vigilance could not
have prevented. '.-- 5--.-

Colonel Owen McLeran, the parish sur
veyor of St. James and several adjoining
parishes, arrived in the city last evening
on business connected with the survey OF
new road that is to be made from Boutte
Station to Des Allemands, authorized to be
constructed by an act of the last Legisla-
tnre.
We are pleased to learn, through the
Colonel, that the cane, corn and rice crops
in St. James are in most fOurishing con-
dition. The planters feel confident that
better yield of cane will be given this
season than ever before in this most ia
nous of the sugar regions in Louisiana.

Court Items.

The abuses that have existed in the OH
cial intercourse between the several courts
of the municipal magistrates and the First
District and Superior Criminal Courts will
probably come to an abrupt ending. now
that Judge Atocha has returned. 1t has
been a cause of complaint with the district
attorney and the clerk of the Superior
Criminal Court that police magistrates were
careless in sending cases to the First Dis
trict Court when that court had NO jurisdic-
tion. These cases would be fixed for trial,
witnesses summoned, bonds taken and per-
haps couple Of oontinuances would be
had before the want Of jurisdiction would
be discovered. Then only would 1t be
transferred. OF course the First District
Court clerk charges the city with all the
fees, which causes double the expense.
Yesterday Judge Atocha issued an order
which will remedy all this. cause the magis-
trates to pay more strict attention TO the
law and save the expense Of these irregu-
iarities,

Mechanics.

In Lyceum Hall, last evening, was held
a meeting of mechanics, artisans, capital
lists and workmen, to consult about meas
ures Whereby to promote the welfare OF
this city and State.
About fifty people were there. Some
speeches were made, much time consumed,
and not much accomplished.
If we except Colonel Smallwoods PLAIN
and sensible speech, there was nothing OF
note put forth. Still we believe the move
ment to be good one. If the leaders can
only steer clear of sGie issues and hold to
the main idea, something good is bound TO
come of it. ..---.----
The meeting last evening was most
decorous, sensible and orderly. Mr.. Al
bert Jarvis presided, and Messrs. Pember'
ton and Mueller made speeches.
The meeting adjourned at ten O'Clock, to
meet at an early date.

first ballot, receiving nine votes, to seven
for W. II. Hagins. of St. James. The nomi-

600 tickets and 10000 prizes. with such
