The numerous friends of that sterling
organization, Mechanics Fire Company No.
6, will regret to learn that it's entire availa-
BILE fund, some $l4oO, is looked up in the
Bank of America. This sum is the savings
from picnics, balls and donations of friends,
and its loss will prove very severe indeed;
in fact, not enough being left in the treas
ury to pay the employees, feed bills, etc, for
the past month.
Ono of the hard working and industrious
members of this company has his little all,
some $500 of honest accommodations, tied up
by the suspension.
II ID understood that the directors of the
bank, in consultation with prominent finan-
cisrs, had Its affairs under consideration on
Saturday evening, and decided that sus-
pension was inevitable, but notwithstand-
ing this conclusion, deposits were received
and exchange sold mp to the moment tho
doors were closed to reopen no more.

The murderers Henderson and Whisky
Bill have had another respite from the ex-
ecution of Justice. In the Supreme Court
in the case of d. Il. Henderson, who was
to be executed to-day, with Whisky Bill,
was called up. Before the reading of the
petition, however, the Attorney General in
formed the court that he had only few
hours previous received the copy, and was
not prepared to answer.
The petition was informal, but, if the Su-
preme Court considered it sufficient, he
would apply for continuance. He was
now preparing petition for reheariDg of
the case of the State vs. Peter Phillips,
and, as many important points would be
argued on that notion he desired that the
habeas corpus should be continued until
after the rehearing had been decided.
The counsel tor the relator had no objec-
tion to a continuance, but thought it neces.
sary that the executive be at once informed
thereof, 60 that Governor Kellogg could
reprieve the relator, whose execution was
fixed for to-day.
Chief Justice Ludeling stated that he had
already informed the Governor of the fact
Of the habeas corpus having been applied
for, and he thought the Governor would act
on this information.
The case was then continued until Satur-
day next at ii A. NJ.
At three o'clock Sheriff Pagan received
an order from the Governor in which he is
ordered to execute both condemned men on
Friday, December 81, between the hours OF
9 A. M. and l2 NJ, unless he shall receive
other orders. This respite recites the sign
| ing of the first death warrant, November a,
directing execution to take place November
26, and the respite of November % post
poning it to December S, The criminals
now have twenty-six days more of life.

Court Items.

In the Superior Criminal Court Dan Green
was convicted of grand larceny, in having
stolen from the residenee of Mrs. j. G.
Elliot, No. lS6 Annuncistion street, on the
twenty sixth July, 1875, valuables worth
500. The accused had escaped, but some
months afterward was wounded on Julia
street by John Williams, when he gave his
name as Charles Williams, and was carried
by the police to his home. When inquired
after as q witness against Williams, Dan
was identified, sent to the Charity Hospital,
and guarded there until his removal to the
Parish Prison.
The grand jury found, yesterday, true
bill against Henry Watson. charging him
with the murder of little girl, Liddy
Smith, on the twenty-sixth July, 1875, at
No. 90 Girod street. November he was
indicted for arson at the same date and
place. The child, who was in bed, was

New Hampshire Politics.

The political campaign which is Just open
ing in New Hampshire is perhaps the most
important the people of that st ate have ever
known. The Judiciary needs reforming, for
the outrageous tinkering which it under
went at the hands of the Democratic party,
during it's short term of supremacy, has wo-
fully impaired the efficient administration
OF justice. The lines of representative and
senatorial districts must be restored to their
proper geographical positions, for they have
been gerrymandered in such complete dis
regard of honesty that, with heavy Re-
publican majority for Governor. the State
Senate and the delegation to the national
House of Representatives might be, and
probably would be, controlled by Dem
ocrats. There are also questions OF consti-
tutiOnal reform, of labor and of temperance
that demand immediate settlement; and be-
sides these questions there is the great
question of all. whether the people of New
Hampshire will tolerate usurpatiOns by
Governors or other officials who venture TO
declared at the ballot box. Finally, this
is the year for the election of United
States Senator. I.l -..
New Hampshire is to open the presider-
tial campaign, and the election that is to
occur next March will not only decide who
are to rule the State, but also declare what
will be her position the following Novem
always greatly interested in New Hamp-
shire campaigns. Garry New Hampshire,
or II is all over with u.s." SO wrote DEM
ocratic leader few days ago to q fellow
Democrat of the Granite State. And this
seems to be the view entertained by both
parties in tho State. Both are going into
the trouble in dead earnest. Neither will
sacrifice the result for Lack of energy, but
the chances Of victory are with the Repub-
licsns. To begin with they are harmonius
and united. Person C. Cheney, the present
Governor, will be renominated, and is cure
to carry the full strength Of the party. His
administration has been excellent, though
he has been hampered by . Democratic
counciA and ablo to do little afirmatively
approval of the people for his Of
forts in tho right direction. which
might have succeeded but for the par.
tiaan obstinaey Of his associate cOun-
cllors. The other nominations will
be OF mon Of high moral character and
special qualifications. The Republicans
haye also the prestige Of the last election,
tories in Ohio and elsewhere. On the other
hand, the Democrats are thoroughly de-
moralized. Their failure last spring, sue
ceeded by the frauds to which they re-
sorted to keep full legislative power
from the Republicans, and the Democratic
Losses in the tall elections, have discOur-
aged them to . remarkable degree. They
except among themselves. For intes-
tine strife they are always ready, and this
year is NO exception. They are fighting,
IN the frat place, over the nomination for

within eight hours from his landing and re-
ception the news is flashed to Us from the
distant shores of Hindostan, and at our
breakfast table in New Orleans, without
wonder and surprise, we read the details of
that Eastern pageant. Less :han 100 years
ago, our own Robert Fulton, not appre-
ciated by his own countrymen, obliged
to seek aid in foreign lands, applied even to
the great Napoleon, andwas by him misun-
derstood and rejected. To-day every ocean
of our globe is traversed and plowed by
numberless steam leviathans, the true and
legitimate Successors of Fulton's first crude
steam-propelled craft of the Hudson. Let
US all, then, wish the author Of the lnyen-
tions above mentioned all success, and that,
before many months shall have elapsed,
the full value Of his great discoveries shall
have been appreciated, and that their ap-
plication to sea-goiDg steamers and vessels
will have diminished, if not removed, the
numerous risks and perils attending the
voyage and commerce of the seas. But,
above all, for the honor of Louisiana, we
wish the inventora triumphant success at
