THE COURTS.
United States Circuit Court.

OmicW St2tcb OArCulS COuFIs
Judge Woods decided this morning Thos.
J. Stewart va Pagan 4 Co, on the rule fol
. preliminary Injunction. The case relates to
the steamer Katie, and the bill in chancery
set forth that the transfer by which she last
changed hands was fraudulent and that it was
so made to give preference.
The Judge decided that the bill of COM
plainant disclosed no equity, and he refused
the injunction.
Also the case of Castle & Raymond va. q
raft Of logs. The Judge said that no mari
time contract was alleged. Certain parties
entered the lands Of claimants and cut there
from certain quantity of timber.
Objection was made to the jurisdiction Of
the court, as Q raft conld not be considered as
navigable vessel The trees are cut, put
into the water, and foated to mill, there to
be cut up into lumber, and the use of ad-
miralty to test the question of ownership
would be ridiculous. The libellants did not
take the right remedy, and the libel is dis
missed.

Editor of the Bulletin I:

Editor OF the Bulletin
In your issue Of Sunday, May 9, appears 9
communication under the caption Of ssReform
with Vengeance" referring to q board Of
trustees for the Asylum for the Blind ct Baton
Rouge. Your correspondent asserts that the
Asylum for the Blind at Baton Rouge has
recently been touched by the magic wand OF
Radical reform. The old board of trustees,
composed in the main of fair men-one OF
two Of it's members being indeed, intelligent
and good men-have been thrown out to make
way for men of no intelligence and no char
actef."
In referring to the appointments made by
the Governor, your correspondent asks, '.Has
he not been guilty of . great wrong in con-
fding that education to such men as he has
recently put in charge of the institution It
were better far to have all public institutions
closed than to allow them to be prostituted to
purposes SO low" Your correspondent un-
doubtedly refers to board appointed q
month or two ago, and does not seem to be
aware of the fact that new board was ap-
pointed by Gov. Kellogg few days ago.
This board consists Of Wilmot 81. Goodale,
Esq, prominent lawyer Of the city Of Baton
Rouge,sL. G. Morris, Esq, well known cit
izen of Baton Rouge, Moliere LANCE, ESQ.,,
the present Administrator of Finance for
that city, and we'll known for his honesty and
efficiency, John Glass;, Esq, commission mer-
chant Of the city of Baton Rouge, and Dr.. A.
w. Smythe, of the Charity Hospital of the
city Of New Orleans. These appointments
were duly announced last week through the
columns of the various journals of the city,
and the very personal structures of your cor
communication appearing after
said appointments, would lead your readers
and the community in general to suppose
that the above board is the one referred to.
Satisfied within my own mind that your
refers to the old board, and
satisfied further, that he has no desire to do
wrong to the new one, ask that you will
give this communication q place in your
columns, in order to correct the mistake
made by your correspondent, as we'll as to
relieve "the Radicals" from the lmputation

Emperors of Russia and Germany, says: 1T
is impossible to conceal the truth. The con-
tinental situation wears, this morning, the
very gravest aspect If We were to say that
the question of the future repose OF Europe
may be practically solved before forty-eight
hours have passed, we would scarcely go be-
yond the facts. The tendency at this moment
is decidedly pacific"
The other London journals likewise COM
ment upon the meeting, but the thought OF
war is generally discredited.
1t is reported from Paris that the French
Government positively contradicts the asser-
ton chat Germany has recently made repre-
sensations of hostile tendency.
The same dispatch contains the statement
believed to be semi-of6cial, that no cause OF
conflict exists between Germany and France,
and that advices from all the capitals Of Eu-
rope are of the same tenor-that pacific ideas
are everywhere in the ascendant

D LONDON, May 10.--A deputation OF authors
waited on Mr.. Disraeli to-day, to make repre-
sensations and obtain his views in regard to
international copyright. The deputation con-
sisted of Messrs. Blanchard Jerrold, Tom
Taylor, Chas. Reade, Chas. Dickens. G. A.
Sala and Chas. Mackay, Miss Braddon and
Mrs. Wood and many other well-known
literary persons.
Mr.. =. Jenkins, member of Parliament
for Dundee, and author of g Ginx's Baby"
addressed Mr.. Disraeli on the part Of the
deputation. He pointed to the appropriation |
and mutilation of the works of British |
authors by the book publishers of thu United
States, and asked if some remedy could not |
be found for the grievances.
Mr.. Disraei replied that the subject had
already come before the government on the |
question whether revision of the copyright |
law in regard to dramas was desirable. The
government would give the matter full atten-
don, and strive to remove the annoyances and
vexAtions now existing but it must have time
to consider what method to adopt. he was
of opinion that royal commission would be
better than q commission Of the House of
Commons, because it would be more likely to
be well acquainted with the subject.
