LONDON, April G. "A reply of Rev, DR..
Newman to Gladstone's last paper, enti-
tied "Vaticanism," is published to-day.
Newman quoted from various nuthori-
ties, in order to prove that the Pope is
not infallible in the subject manner in
which the conscience is Of supreme nu-
thority; therefore, he says, deadlock
between conscience and the Pope is i'm
possible.
PARIS, April 6-The Rome corres-
pondent of the Journal Des Debais writes
chat the Pope will take up his residence

ment, everything passed of quietly up

CURED in the third ward. and a conflict
between the whites and blaoks ensued.
1t was occasioned by some colored men
who attempted to prevent Democrntic

and the news Of conflict soon spread
ing, a crowd Immediately began to

WASHINGTON, April Sin the Court of
Claims. to-day, Judge Richardson deli
yered the decision in the cnse of Alphonse
Desmaxe, claim for cotton. The con
illusions reached by the Court are as fol-
lows: First, that tho claimants domicil
was found to have been in the CITY of
New Orleans before the war, and as it is
not proved to have been changed, it is
presumed to have continued and been in
that city when the purchases of cotton
were made by him within the rebel lines.
The claimants domicil being in the city
of New Orleans, he is presumed to hnve
been there personally until he is proved
to be elsewhere, and the claimant not
showing that lle was absent from the
place Of his domicil when that CITY was
captured, April 27, 1862, it is presumed
that he was there at that time, and sub
sequently crossed the Federal lines about
the time he is proved to be in the parish
Of St. Landry. Second purchases
Of cotton by the claimant, under the cir
cumstances set forth in the findings.
were void as against the laws and public
policy Of the United States, and he
acquired no title to the property thereby.
The opinion concludes as follows: Al
though the public enemies within their
own disloyal territory have right to
make contracts among themselves, and
such contracts are held valid in other
countries, we do not think the claimant
acquired that right by leaving the city of
his dontcil and residence otter 1t had
