General Exchange

With nothing in the dispatches to stimulate
the demand the market opened without ami
nation and continued quiet throughout the
day, buyers being unwilling to go on unless
at further concession, and factors reluctant in
the face of the marked falling off in the re-
-ceipts to give way. Under these circumstan-
ices prices exhibited considerable irregularity,
with general tendency to inside figures, but
without requiring any change in quotations
except the slight modification noted above
Low Middling sold at 13s and 13sc. Good
staple kinds appeared to be in only moderate
request, but could hardly be bought unless at
outside figures or sc more.
The amount on shipboard not cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning at 1O2,-
1000 bales, embracing 80, 900 for Liverpool, 49,
1000 for Havre, 1000 for Spain, 1000 for the
Mediterranean, 1000 for Bremen, 20, 600 for the
North Sea and 5000 bales for the North, which,
when deducted from the stock on hand BY our
cumming statement Saturday evening, leaves
1Ol. 100 bales to represent the quantity at the
landing and in press unsold or awaiting
orders.

st. John Boat Club.

1t is not generally known that this popu-
lar and leading boat club have possessed
themselves of ten new crafts for racing pur-
poses. The model of the new racers is the
same in each, and differs somewhat from
the model of the other race boats hitherto
in use The difference in build is shown by
a more rounded water line, and the proper
tons are SO evenly adjusted as to demand a
more accurate and judicious balance. An
other advantage of the new crafts consists
in their capability of being steered from the
bow as we'll as the stern.
For the race this evening there are ten
entries, among which we note Helen Blazes,
Sartoriski, Bazar, Right-slde- with-care,
and Modoc. The course will be from the
boat house, clear across the bayou and re-
turn Start will be made at half past six
o'clock. The finish will take place as soon
as the race is over. The race will be run
under rules, but without compass, in neu-
trail waters; rules will not be enforced un-
less SO desired, or not objected to, or other
wise.
The prize will perhaps consist OF hand
some set of silver plate, and perhaps not.
This being Independence Day, every one is
entitled to his own opinion about the matter.

Superintendent of the Mint.

Washington dispatches, received here yes
terday, announce the appointment of Dr.
M. F. Bonzano as superintendent of the
Mint at this city.
DR.. Bonzano was for fifteen years assayer
in the Mint. He was the only official of
that institution that remained loyal to the
United States When the Mint was seized
BY the Confederate authorities at the break.
ing out of the war, DR.. Bonzano went North,
where he remained until the capture of New
Orleans by General Butler, when he re-
turned. He was then appointed special
agent by Secretary Chase, and placed in
charge of the Mint. In this capacity he
remained until appointed lighthouse keeper
for this district. DR.. Bonzano, being a
thorough scientific man and an untiring
worker, proved most efficient superin'
tendent. During his administration the
lighthouses were in complete order, and
many improvements for the saving of lite
and property were introduced. He was
subsequently presidential elector on the
Republican ticket, and latterly surveyor
general of the district of Louisiana. The
appointment made by the President yester
day was most proper one. There are few
men in the country who are the equal Of
DR.. Bonzano in scientific culture and prac
tical ability

Court Items.

Judge Atocha yesterday, in dismissing
the petty jury for the June, term took oc-
casion to thank them for their devotion to
duty and promptness Of attendance. His
address to them was listened to with great
attention, and general pleasure was ex-
,yressed in the faces of the jurors which
was not all satisfaction at having completed
their labors but appreciation OF the words
Of the judge.
The cruelty to animals society have most
certainly come to the end of their rope.
The district attorney dismisses cases that
they bring before Judge Abel, and Judge
Hawkins drives not merely coach and
four through the act which pretends to Gre
ate them, bat train of cars and drove
of mules. Then the milkmen. class from
whom the society expected to derive
handsome revenue, bring a petition before
Judge Cullom for a writ of habeas corpus.
On the presentation Of the case in this form
Judge Cullom discharged prisoner and
handled the act in different manner, but
with the same severity.
The last of seventeen jury cases was
tried yesterday in Judge Lynch's court
During the term now nearly completed nc
Judge has worked harder or more con
scientiously endeavored to discharge the
difficult and onerOus duties of his position
Many of the cases tried before him have
called for extraordinary qualities of mint
and temper, and in no case he has beer
found wanting.

present term. and except for special dut,
the judges of most of the civil courts will

Worthy of Imitation.

An order has been issued Judge
Atocha of New Orleans to the muntipal and
police magistrates to take dOwnevidence
word for word as the witness givs it. In
English police courts all evidencegiven is
taken down, read to the witnes, and he
signs it. This involves additions expense,
but it saves the trouble of callin the wit
nesses before the grand jury. nd holds
them to their sworn statements: The way
in which testimony is given inthe lower
courts of this city is disgraceful. A citizen
is frequently sentenced on the unsworn
dictum of a police officer. The counsel,
witnesses and policemen are lrddled to-
gether in a way that must benost disa-
greeable to those who have feelings of deli
cacy. 1t may be important thai the basi-
ness of the courts should be donepromptly
but it is more important that tb constitu-
tional rights of citizens should bsrespected.
If every word of testimony in very case
should be deliberately taken lown and
sworn to, emitting, of course, a verbiage
there would be less perjury and more equal
iustice.-Ney York Sun.

General Forest in the Barber's Hnds.
The Mobile Register tells the foowlng
story:
1t is said that Forrest went into aoarber
shop on Broadway to be shaved. he col
ored gentleman who officiated was oluble.
Forrest was in good humor and bposed
to be talkative. At last it came ct that
the gentleman who was being shaed was
called General Forrest, whereup0 the
colored gentleman wanted to knW if he
was having the honor to shave teneral
Forrest of the late Confederate avalry.
General Forrest mildly assented. Where
upon the barber remarked that he vas glad
to make the Generals acquaintanc, as his
brother was soldier in the fedeh army.
'Where is your brother9" asked he Gen.
eral. "He was killed at Fort ooillow"'
answered the barber.
Silently and gently as the fad Of the
snow-fake-but accurately and without
hesitation-the General slid frombeneath
the razor of that barber, gainedhis feet,
and with a face bare as to onAide and
lathered as to the other, remarkd: You
can't shave me this morning" A friend
who met him moment later remrked the
singular appearance Of his face. The Gen
eral merely observed: II like to ave halt
of my face shaved at time"
