Death of MIR. Byerly.

Between ten and eleven o'clock last night
d. c. Byerly expired, forty eight years old.
He came to this city about twenty five years
ago, practical printer, and for long time
held cases on the old Com mercial Bulletin,
and just before the war was foreman of the
composition room, having the respect Of all
who knew him. When the civil war broke
out he took a musket, an enthusiastic seces-
sionis,. During the war he was wounded
so that one of his arms was crippled for all
time. After the war he was elected to the
clerkship of the Third District Court and
filed that position honor ably. Although
his income was good he did not save much
money, being free Of heart and habit. After
his term of Office expired he remained idle
q considerable tmie, but was ambitious
to return to newspaper life. When the
opportunity arose he embarked in the
Bulletin and managed to build mp busi-
ness such as is well known to most Of our
readers. He was one of the founders Of
the New Orleans Typographical Union, and
until recently took an active part in that
association, remaining on the working list.
He leaves a family. He was native Of
Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, but
seldom spoke of his boyhoo d's home, claim
ing Louisiana as his own.

Death Of Surgeon Abadie.

Major Eugene II. Abadie, surgeon United
States army. who died at his residence in
st. Louis, on Tuesday last. FROM injury
received in tie streets from q passing
vehicle, was an officer and gentleman,
well known in New Orleans, he having
been assigned to duty in November, 1864, as
chief medical officer of the military division
of West Mississippi, then commanded by
Major General Candy. This military division
came to be one OF the largest separate
commands ever given to general officer,
and the medical directors duties were
arduous, but satisfactorily performed.
DR.. Abadie wSs native of France, and
arriving in the United States was appointed
assistant surgeon in 1886, and full surgeon
and major in 1853. His ekill and valuable
services were recognized during the Mexi-
can war, where he saved many lives. At
the breaking out of the Southern rebellion
DIR. Abadie was stationed on the Texas
frontier, and resisted all attempts made by
many of those reasonably inclined to in
duce him 20 turn against the governme ment
he served. He leaves widow and three
sons, and was abou: sixty years o; age.

The Soldiers.

We have received a communication from
"a Soldier" in which the writer refers to
. Pic0yuns reporters statements Of two
local disturbances which occurred on
Christmas evening-in which two eoldiers
we're injured-as . perversion OF facts,
willful aud against the reputation of the
army. The soldier Il 6s Private Jones was
walking up Basin street, and at the cor
ner of Customhouse was jumped upon and
shot at in q most treacherous manner by
citizen, who gave no warning and had
no prov vocation ior the assault. Private
Dunwiddie was cut later in the evening
on Franklin street. 1t is not our purpose
to criticise the Picayune in the matter of
its local reports, but to bear testimony to
diers in this city. Considering the mo-
notony Of the soldiers life, and the
restraints upon him in camp, it is
remarkable that SO few Of them be-
come intoxicated or commit excesses when
of duty, and many man, claiming social
position, could take profitable lessons from
them in good behavior. We believe these
are the first street ARRAYS in which any of
them have been engaged, and it seems the
soldiers were no: the aggressors, but the
victims. It is not possible to secure men
possessing every virtue for SIG month,
but taking 1000 of the soldiers in this city
and the same mum Der of men of any other
class or profession. and it will be found the
soldiers will average quite as we'll for con-
duct and department, and we are among
those who believe even the private's blue
jacket covers many noble and true hearted
gentlemen.

New YORK, December 26.-McEnery in
q dispatch dated the twenty fifth to the
Herald says: ''The wrong just perpetrated
by the Returning Board against the people

tho safety and integrity of Republican insti-

The knlghis of MOYnus.

We are informed by a representative Of
this merry clan that hereafter their pageant
and revels will form part of the attractions
Of carnival week, instead of taking place
on New Years Eve, and we may look for
Momus and his followers on the fourth OF
February, 1875. The time for the appear
ance of Momus has been fixed as the Thurs.
day preceding Mardigras day, and the
change is good one, in that it makes the
city more attractive to strangers, who can
by one visit see more strange sights than
ever before. The previous displays of this
mysterious organization have been very
attractive, and something novel is expected
when next they come out.
