Court Items.

There will be no session of the First
District Court to-day.
In the Fourth District Court yesterday
member of the bar caused himself some
inconvenience by persisting in a contempt.
1t was not single offense, but one repeated
three times and not resulting from excite
ment, but seemed intended expressly to
show disrespect to the court. 1t is strange
that an attorney imagines that he can gain
his point by such course, or that his con-
duct will benefit his client. Perhaps, as it
was on the trial of rule for contempt in
the refusal of husband to pay alimony,
sympathy was the motive. In that case
the fine of $25 and the imprisonment of
twenty-four hours may be satisfactory.
Such affairs are very disagreeable to every
body in court, and Judge Lynch must have
regretted the necessity for the fine, for his
great patience was remarked by all present.
In the Superior Criminal Court, George
H. Braughn, Esq, presiding in the absence
Of Judge Atocha, ordered tie name of
Henry Berleya to be stricken from the list of
jurors. Throughout the March term he
has successfully evaded service in capital
cases. In his examination in the Dudley
Wheyland arson case he stated on his roir
dire he knew all about the case, but when
asked where the fire took place was unable
to tell. After severely rebuking him Judge
Braughn ordered his name to be stricken
from the roll.

Meeting of Delta Levee Board,

Pursuant to Call of the president, S. w.
Hamilton, the Delta Levee Board met at
the Fire mans Hall on Thursday evening,
for the purpose of reviewing the situation
and to find out what necessary repairs were
needed on the Delta levee in order to pro-
tect our town from inundation.
The president thought the levee back of
the town was more dangerous, if possible,
than at any time during the high water of
last year, and recommended that Immediate
action be taken to secure the town against
the inevitable overflow that would follow
should the river attain the height it did
last year. He also stated for the informa.
ton of the board that ne had received the
note of the Louisiana Levee Company for
the amount expended on the levee last
spring. He thought that the note could be
disposed OF very advantageously, and rec
commended that committee be appointed
to negotiate its sale, the proceeds of which
should pc applied to repairing the levee.
from New Orleans, said that while there he
called on Chief Engineer Thompson, and
asked him what was going to be done for
our levee. He was told that nothing would
be done this year-that it was not neces-
sary. 1t will be seen we can look for no
relief from that quarter.
On motion of MIR. Bradfeld, the president
was requested to appoint committee of
three ~ investigate the leyee, and report
what repairs are necessary to the next
meeting. The president appointed Messrs
Goodman, Madden and Simon. On motion,
Mr.. w. P. TOwne was added to the com
mittee.
Messrs. Goodman and Hamilton were
committee to negotiate the sale
Of nOteuf the Louisiana Levee Company.-

Fashion Opening.

The fashion rooms of Nine. F. r. Hardon,
No. % Chartres street, were yesterday
crowded from an early hour until after p.
M, the beautiful weather, together with
the long established reputation Of the house,
combining to attract the elite of our city.
Such an array Of bonnets and hats in chip,
French chip, Leghorn and other materials,
and such profusion of flowers, has not
often been seen even at the openings of our
leaders of fashion. Nine. Hardonlhas ex-
celled all of her former efforts, and the
CALCULATIONS of surprised pleasure heard on
all sides were the strongest evidences that
Mime. Hardon's efforts give satisfaction to
her numerous customers. Ladies should
call and see this beautiful display of spring
and summer millinery goods.

WASHINGTON, March "a. 1875.
In conversation with several Louisiana
friends to day, President Grant took occa-
sion 10 repeat his statement made to Messrs.
Burke, Leonard and Zacharie, February q,
and reported in your special dispatches Of
that day, viz: That he could not take any
part in the Phelps. Wheeler compromise,
so-called. He expressed the hope that the
insurgents would keep the peace. but dis
tinctly stated that all he could do would be
to enforce the law. General Sheridan will
remain in New Orleans, where he can pre-
serve order in any emergency that may
arise.
The nomination of Mr.. Pardee was laid
on the table TO day by ten majority. 1t is
understood that no other nominations can
be made until December.
Senator Morton has received the warmest
congratulations upon his triumph on the
Louisiana question. For more than two years
as chairman of the Committee on Privi.
leges and Elections he has led the fight
for the recognition of the Kellogg govern
ment against not only the whole of the
Democratic party, but against some Of the
ablest, but perverse Republican Senators,
like Edmunds, Carpenter and Connecticut
Ferry, and has finally carried q satifactory
resolution through the Senate by q unani.
nous Republican vote. This really gives
him virtual leadership of the Senate.

At the St. Charles Theatre last night
mir. Ben DeBsr played Fa'staF in the

Mr.. DeBar has acted this character fire.
quently. 1t has been his especial study,
and, by peculiar fitness of the man
for the part, his representation of
the tat knight is remarkably fine
performance. 1t is a character in which
Ben DeBar is lost sight of, to become a true
embodiment of q great Shakespearean crea-
ton. FdlstaF was strange compound of
fat and folly, witty courtier, and unprin-
cipled coward. Appearing in love he is
satire upon fat men; an elephant wooing
gentle gazelles. Fat men are beyond
the confines of poets imagjna.
ton, and Shakespeare must have had
particular spite against them to SO
burlesque humanity. Fat men are distinct
Face. FaistaD's vices increased with his
flesh; yet such man could not commit a
murder, and took to lying as the easiest
crime. AS lover he would have disguised
Julie. He was simply fat man, and
Ben DeBar fills the bill and the
belt as Sir John. He brings to the
character mind as we'll as matter, and BY
fat action and oily reading creates a man
to fit into the large space given in the text.
Tonight Mr.. DeBar will appear as Sir
John in "Henry w." The cast will be
strong one, including Mr.. H. w. Mitchell as
Prince Hal, or Hatspur.

Louisiana and Pinchback.

Senator West, of Louisiana, has shown
himself more of a politician than he had
credit for. After Senator Morton closed
the debate on Monday in favor of the ad-
mission Of Plnchback, Mr.. West rose, and
after regretting the division in the Repub
lican party, said that he could not submit
the claims of his colleague to vote. He
accordingly moved that the subject be laid
on the table till the second Monday in De-
cember next. This took the Democrats by
surprise, and Mr. Thurman protested. Mr..
Logan also objected to this disposition Of
the question, but vote was taken, and the
question was postponed by vote of 80 yeas
against 80 nays. Mr.. Christiancy voted
nay with the Democrats, and so did Mr..
result of this political stroke is to keep the
control of that senatorial seat in the hands
of the Republicans. Had a decisive vote
on Pipchback been taken, he would
undoubtedly have been rejected, and
vacancy created. With the proposition
for compromise settlement Of political
affairs IN Louisiana accepted, a Democrat
would just as likely as not be elected to the
vacant place. Now there is no really empty
seat, though there is not an occupied one;
Pinchback de jure is the holder, though de
tdctO he does not realize it's possession.
Whatever may occur in Louisiana politics
for the next eight months, the Senate will
be ready in December, with new light, or
from dire necessity, to proceed as it may
deem best for the interest of that State,
and, we may modestly suggest, tor the
success of the Republican party. 1t is said
that if the whole scope of Senator Vests
motion had been taken in at the moment of
making it, when vote was had, it would
have been circumvented. 1t was unex-
pected, and the opposition was not quick
enough to designate contrary line Of ac-
tion. So West gets credit for good tactics
as politician, and Louisiana gets, possibly,
quiet tor two.thirds Of year.

eThe Tornado insNOrth Louisiana.

A correspondent, writing from Waverly
station to the Vicksburg Herald. gives some
details of the ravages of the tornado that
lately passed over that section of country:
Our neighborhood was visited by ter
rible tornado on the twentieth, and 1 write
in behalf of the sufferers. Mr.. John Elan
agan, brother of Captain Jack Flanagan,
and an old citizen of Vicksburg, and Mr..
Walton Whatley, an old resident of Warren
county, were the principal sufferers. Their
buildings were all blown away; their families
much bruised. Mr.. Flanagan had one rib
broken, and his eldest son was the most
severely bruised of his family. OF
Mr.. .Whatley's family a little daughter
and his brother in law were very severely
bruised. Mr.. Flanagan and sons lost four
horses. Every piece of furniture was blown
away and destroyed; trunks were bursted
open and contents carried off and scattered
beyond recovery; provisions blown away
and destroyed. They saved nothing except
the clothes they had on, and they were
split to pieces by the wind. 1t is impossible
for me to describe the terrible scene of
destruction; fences all gone. fields covered
with fallen trees; no indications of houses
save few broken bricks, where the chin
neys stood. 10 add to the horror of the
scene, the wind was followed by one of the
most drenching rains ever witnessed.
