used as walking canes.
80. Special Deputy Collector Champlain is
again at his post at the Custom-House, after
season of rest North
The Internal Revenue officials are just
now enjoying short spell of rest, and there
is nothing going on in their offices except
routine work.
-. In the Wood forgery case there was a
new thousand dollar bill handed around to
keep it out of the papers, but it didn't count
this time. Object is no money with some.
-. The case of j. j. Martin, charged with
fogery, was called up before Magistrate Evans

=. Mr.. Harry Wilde, for some time con-
nected with the press of our city, returned
yesterday, after an extended trip through the
West, looking rejuvenated.
-. 1t was reported on Canal street last
night that James Wood, who is charged with

April last, was tried before the Superior Grim
inal Court yesterday. The case was submitted
at late hour last night, and the jury was
locked up until morning

=. Judges Cullom and Saucier, in order to
give to litigants all the time possible, have
changed their rules of court, and now excep-
tons and rules will, during the coming term,
be taken up at half-past 10 o'clock instead
of IL as heretofore. This will give an hour
and half to their trial now. Members of the
bar should note the fact.
-. The brokers are unhappy because
they have not had cashed the time certificates
for August, which they have bought. The
board has just enough money on hand to pay
those officers who did not sell, and the brokers
have to wait. The deficit is set down at over
fourteen thousand dollars. Collections will,
however, come in, and the brokers will be
paid.
J.. Thursday night large number met

for the purpose of organizing a Democratic

the following result: President, ]. Wright
Vice President, NJ. Duffy; Secretary, j. B.
Durin; Treasurer, J. B. Verges; Grand Mar
shall, NJ. Finnerty.
There is no reason why the time by rail
between New Orleans and New York should
not be very materially reduced. The dis
lance from Chicago to New York is 961 miles,
and it Is made easily in thirty-six hours;

The difference is entirely too great, and we
can see no good reason why the time between
this point and Chicago should not be made in
forty hours.
-. As is we'll known the law requires the
removal of sugar from the levee within twenty
four hours from the time of landing. 1t
strikes us that the rigid enforcement of this
law at the present time, when the receipts are
SO small and the sugar levee only partially oc-
cupied, could be suspended without detri-
ment to the public interests until sugar and
molasses come in more freely. Such a course
would result in great convenience to receivers
and buyers.
Again we have to chronicle the work of
the Reaper at the Courthouse. Gaspar
James, minute clerk of the Sixth District
Court, and who had been connected for more
than twenty years with the different civil TIL
bunals of the city. succumbed Friday morn
