Court Items.

On Monday, the case of the State against
Superintendent Badger, Off GERS Pearson
and Harris, and Don Carlos Pie, the Span
ish consul, came up on an exception to the
jurisdiction of the court, filed by the coun-
sci of Mr.. Pie In presenting the case for
the defense, counsel read from numerous
decisions to show that the United States
court was the only one competent to enter
tain the case. He quoted from 5 Sgt. g.
Rawle; Hall VS.. Young, Pickering, 80;
Griffin vs. Dominguez, Duer, 656; Law
rence's Wheaton: 525, 567; Davis VS.. Pack
ard, Peters, 2S4; State vs.. De La Freret,
2 Mott e. McCord, go; United States VS..
Rovara, 2 Dallas, 297; Villineuvre vs. Bar
rion, ib., 235. Attorney General Field ad :
mitted the correctness of the ground as
sumed by counsel for defense, and ex-
pressed his willingness to have the case
dismissed as to Consul Pie. Judge Atocha
concurred with the Attorney General, and
sustained the exception.
In the First District Court yesterday a
notorious character came to grief. Joe
Albo has appeared before this court
charged with every one of the inferior
offenses many times, and as often escaped
on technicalities. A jury yesterday found
him guilty of knowingly receiving stolen
goods, and the case is 80 clear that he is
certain of obtaining prolonged sentence
at the hands of Judge Abel.
We have many times been obliged to Mr..
j. NJ. Cooley, deputy sheriff of the Fourth
District Court, and return thanks for favors
received yesterday. In addition to the at
tention thus acknowledged, he volunteered
the information that it was to be the last
at his. hands for some time. A visit to Ten
nessee, on matrimonial thoughts intent, is
the cause, and all his friends will hasten to
congratulate him.

besides the main department. used as a
study hall and chapel.
The grounds and buildings, including the
ladies' hall (formerly the large mansion OF
Judge Ogdenl, capable of accommodating
about fifty boarders, cost about S65OO, and

however, has been sufficiently constructed
for use, and is really an imposing structure
of snowy architecture. The University has

The Greatest Of These is Charity.

Subjoined is a copy of a telegram which
was sent on Monday night to the mayors of
thirty.four cities of the United States. The
appeal thus flashed over the wires in behalf
of 5000 impoverished and helpless fellow
creatures tells it's own sad story. The
Queen City of the South throws herself on
the bounty of great nation and begs re-
lief for a sore stricken people. Through
her chief magistrate New Orleans appeals
to the sympathies of richer and more pros
porous sections of our common country tor
aid in this dark hour Of calamity. Generous
Boston has already responded with great
warm hearted lavishness. The East and
the West have freely given. The South,
from its scanty store, has also come to aid
u.s. But now we are forced to make Sec
ond appeal. Our necessities grow greater
and greater. The aid of the general gov
ernment and the assistance of the charitable
throughout our whole great country is ear
nestly invoked in behalf Of the poor suf-
ferers by the overflow:
New ORLEANS, May 25, 1874.
To the Mayor of -:
By request of relief committee and lead
ing citizens again call on American cities
in behalf of a., 900 victims of the great flood,
for such aid as your prosperity may per-
NIT or your philanthropy prompt you to
grant Contributions, in cash and provl-
sions, in thirty five days, have been less
than $lS0.00O In fifteen days our means
will be exhausted. The demand for relief
will continue great and urgent for many
weeks. Daily rations have been distribu-
ted to about 1000, 5000 furnished by the
government Painful anxiety as to results
is general. Nothing but large increase OF
resources for relief can prevent the horrors
of famine and great loss of life We need
a million of dollars more. Details will be
given by mail.
