THE COURTS.
FIFTH DISTRICT COURT.

Not Partnership. Judge Cullom this
morning in the case of p. Aldige ct ais, vs..
Martin, decided in favor of the defendant.
Plaintiffs claimed that in the month of Sep
TENDER, 1871, they entered into an agreement
with defendant to the effect that if either Of
them should sell at any time any portion Of
the stock they held in the Bienville Oil Works
of Algiers, the proceeds should be divided
between them in the ratio OF their shares.
Two hundred and fifty shares OF this con-
solidated stock were sold for the common
benefit, leaving unsold 1910 shares, which
still remain under order for the associates
proceeds of the sale, amounting to 1000
according to their arrangement, and Judgment
is asked accordingly.
The defendant, Martin, alleges that mu-
tual mandate was verbally granted between
the parties to the suit to sell the stock held
by them respectively for their joint benefit,
but finding that plaintiffs did not act under
the mandate and made no sales, revoked it
and informed plaintiffs thereof long before he
sold any Of his stock. The agreement being
revoked he was at liberty to dispose of it as
he should see fit.
The Judge in his opinion decided that cit
was not contract OF partnership. Their in
terest in the shares was not undivided. No
one Of the parties could set up any right OF
ownership in the shares Of the others. There
was nothing contrary to good morals nor in
restraint OF trade in the agreement. The OBJ
legation without compulsory obligation.
Each might sell, no one was obliged to do
So
There was no rincuium jyts upon which
the court can operate to force him to divide
that which is solely and separate his with
plaintiff for that which is exclusively theirs.
Let there he Judgment for defendant.

LOSS OF THE STEAMER BOSSIER.

By the arrival of the steamer Fleta Sunday
evening we learn that the steamer Bossier,
Capt VIM. Boardman, from Shreveport,
bound to this port, sunk on Thursday, the
10th inst. at about P. NJ, on the Upper
Falls Of Red River, just above Alexandria.
The passengers together with their baggage
were all saved The boat lies nearly straight,
in about feet water, and if not too badly
broken, or no sudden rise in the river occurs,
she can be raised. There were 700 bales cot
ton on the boat and 200 in barge which she
had IN tow, all Of which will be saved in good
order, except that in the hold and the lower
tier on the main deck, which will be slightly
damaged.
The Bossier belonged to the brothers Will
liam, Charles and John Boardman, and was
not insured.

THE =. 4. TINES on yICKSBURG AFFAIRS.

New YORK, Dec. 1.-THE correspondent of
the Times at Vicksburg says, touching the
killing Of the negroes on Monday:
ton possible, and am of the opinion that the
white citizens Of Vicksburg were, under the
circumstances, justified in resisting with arms
tha attack which was made upon the city by
the negroes.
They came in, it will be remembered. to
reiustate Crosby, after he had been forced to
resign. The killing of SO many black men,
however was unnecessary and cannot be JUS
titled Many Of them were shot while they
were retreating. but it is not true that many
were killed while begging for mercy; on the
contrary all who did SO We're protected by
the white leaders.
Another dispatch to the same paper, dated
the 18th, says: Late this evening number Of
gentlemen living on plantations in the neigh
borhood rode into Vicksburg and informed
the Mayor that the negroes IN the country
were under arms and in squads of twenty and
thirty We're marching toward the city. The
Mayor Immediately called out two companies
OF special police, and they are UNDERSTANDING
1T the Courthouse.
The citizens are generally Alarmed. and
some OF them fear that the town will be at
tackled tonight Many of the people have 70
fear for the town. but think it probable that
the negroes may commit depredations upon
unprotected white families in the country.
Two companies of well-armed white men
have Just gone to the outskirts of the city.
They will guard the two principal approaches
during the night.

THE HONOR % OF THE RETURNING
BOARD.

Mr. Charles Cavanac, q member of the
Democratic committee appointed to detect
the swindling and other frauds Of the Return
ing Board, having Obtained positive informa-
ton that the returns from the parish Of st.
Helena had been tempered with and changed
since coming into the possession of the Board.
asked for IN investigation Of the matter, and
pledged himself to produce the witnesses to
prove the fact The Board refused to order
the investigation, thus admitting the insinu-
alton that they themselves had changed the
election returns of st. Helena. Is the action
Of such Il board entitled to any respect?
Will the people submit to any such outrage
as that which this board has already COM
mitted?
When they cannot procure PARTIES disrep.
ntable enough to forge and alter the election
returns to suit the purposes Of the board,
the Republican members thereof perform
the dirty work themselves and such are the
men who are to decide the election in this
State.

!" SOMEBODY WHO WILL HURT"

of his semi-lucid moments-the

mama eyaltation and whisky drnnk-the
araust nerson who aspired to play the role OF
<,asar, but was jostled from his daring pur-
nose by the popular earthquake last Novem-
her took occasion to hiccup to his henchmen
that if any disturbance occurred in New
Orleans he would send somebody here
wbo would hurt. In other words, if
the people of New Orleans and Louisiana
presume to kick against the frauds which the
knaves and rascals set over them by bayonets
propose to commit, if they enter vigorous
protest against the attempt on the part OF the
Returning Board to deprive them OF the
victory they won at the polls. If, IN short,
they act like men who know their rights and
who dare maintain them, he. the President OF
this Republic, not the Gar OF Russia, nor Aa-
lakaua nor any other crowned potentate'
lint MI. II. s, Grant, the Seruant Of the people,
Chief Magistrate of people who ought to be,
and mean to he free, will send somebody down
here who will hurt. Truly, too much fiat
tery and too much power hath made this man
mad, that he dare threaten the people Of q
sovereign State IN this insolent manner. Did
he think to frighten us by his unmanly and
undignified threat !? Did he dream for one
moment that men who were ''born and
nursed in dangers lap" were to ba terrified
by u threat !? ...
Does he fancy that nine years OF mis-
government and terrorism have made us
forget that we are free born Americans, that
We once enjoyed the blessing OF liberty and
that We owe sacred duty to ourselves and to
our posterity. If his brain, added as it is by
the fumes of his cigars and vile potations,
has conceived any such ideas. then he
will awaken some fine morning to
find that he has grossly moderated
not only the courage of our people, but the
people of our whole country. "Somebody
who will hurt !" What hurt could the people
OF this State receive greater than has already
been inflicted by his tools and minions!
They can't be robbed, because his pet thieves
have already stolen everything we own OF any
value. They can't be made to sustain his in

Oh yes, lie can inauSurats a butchery Of

a grand aLattoir, with Phil Sheridan or some
other human butcher in charge, but it is diff

with his threats. or he may proceed to exc

undismayed by either threats or actions.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A NUMBER INJURED

On Sunday, at about II O'Clock ~
very sad accident occurred on the Morgan
Railroad, not very far from the city. loco
motive. with tender and fiat car attached,
made its usual run from the place where
number of employees were working on the
road, to the section.house, for dinner, with
sixty Of the men on Board. The locomotive
was running backwards, the tender being in
front, and the fiat car being coupled to the
cow-catcher Of the locomotive Some Of the
men were on the tender, while the most of
them remained on the fat.
They were running at high rate OF speed,
when, through some accident. the tender
jumped the track and landed in ditch some
four feet deep. The locomotive followed the
tender. and the fiat car did partly too. The
men on the tender were precipitated into the
water and were therefore but little hurt: but
those on the fiat car were some Of them quite
seriously injured, being dashed to the ground
very violently. All on the fiat car were more
or less injured, and six Of them were hurt
quite seriously.
Henry Richard was hurt in the back and
otherwise confused about the body.
Barney Golden's eyes were fearfully lacera-
ted. and he will no doubt lose the sight in
one eye.
Frenchman named Theophile had his leg
broken above the knee. no doubt necessitating
its amputation. ....
These three men, whose names are given,
were conveyed to the Charity Hospital last
evening, and more arrivals from the scene OF
the disaster are awaited at the hospital
Fortunately no lives were lost. but some Of
the escapes from death were almost miracu-
lous The injured men are quite bitter against
the engineer, and they impute the catastrophe
to his carelessness for running at such high
rate of speed.

1t is said that every possible effort was
made previous to the assembling of Congress
to secure the reversal of the Durell impeach-
ment report Of the House Judiciary Commit
tee by endeavoring to get Gen. Butler to
change his vote, which was in favor Of it.
He refused, and declared his intention to
press the impeachment, whereupon the
friends Of Durell advised him to resign. If
this is true, it accounts for the judicial War
wick's extraordinary haste in asking for his
ticket of leave.

Additional.
At one o'clock yesterday our reporter Wis
tied the Upper Girls High School. Every
thing was calm, and the young ladies had re-
sumed their studies as the African damsels
had departed, their reception being rather
warmer than they expected, and the young
gro girls are admitted in the school.
MRS. WOOD.
This woman, who brought the negro girls to
the above school to stand their examination,
got very indignant at the stand the young
ladies took toward her colored scholars, and
abused both the scholars and principal,
Mrs. Mcdonald, and her assistant, in most
audacious manner, remarking that these ladies
taught for money and that she Mrs. Wood
could not see why they could not teach negro
children as we'll as white; also remarking
that these ladies were unable to manage the
scholars, and were unfit for the position they
occupied.
Mrs. Mcdonald declined to respond to the
remarks, and Mrs. Wood having exhausted
her store of vituperation, withdrew with her
negro scholars.
Boothby will be at the school to-day at 8
O'Clock, to make speech to the young ladies.

THE SINKING OF THE EMPIRE.

Three weeks have elapsed since. on a fine
Tuesday morning, our city was shocked and
startled by the news that Lower Coast packet,
the steamer Empire, had sunk at her wharf,
foot of Cont street, carryingwith her twenty
four slumbering people without moments
warning, and also cargo of valuable freight
which, however, did not prove total loss as
was at that time supposed and reported.
The very next day after the catastrophe, a
wrecking boat, under the charge Of Capt
Francis and two other divers, named Mr..
Fred Bussey and Mr.. james Crellin, respect
iyely. hurried to the scene and without delay
set to work to recover from the waters all
that could possibly be brought to the surface
How we'll Capt. Francis succeeded in this
hazardous and laborious task, we reported
from day to day. ..
Eighteen bodies were reported as missing,
but twenty-four were recovered by the ener-
getic captain.
Some of the bodies. when brought to the
surface. were but little distigured, their faces
wore calm and peaceful aspect. and but for
supposed they were but sleeping.
Four bodies were brought up the first day,
and the twenty remaining ones during the
space Of ten to twelve days.
But very little Of the cargo has been lost,
the most of it having been recovered in a
damaged condition Most of the hogsheads
Of sugar. molasses and rice were sold imme-
diately at auction after having been brought
ups and brought very fair prices indeed.
About twelve OF fourteen trunks and valises
belonging to the passengers were recovered.
some Of which have been claimed by their
owners, and others remain to be called for by
the relatives or heirs Of the unfortunate
drowned,
craft was brought up. after considerable
trouble. 1t was damaged considerably, the
lock having been twisted and turned, one of
the iron legs having been wrenched of, and
good deal Of water having forced its way
through the door. The safe is from the manu-
factory of Valentine 4 Butler, styled the Alum
| patent. and is q very small one. The safe
will not be opened till Tuesday, when the
contents will be brought forth in the presence
of witnesses.
