ON DIT.
-. The Governor was hard at work all Gay
yesterday appointing two constables for some
of the county parishes.
Now we've got it. One Of our confreres
on the BULLETIN explains how warm the
weather is by telling Us that it is anathen'ass-
cauy hot Next.
Next Sunday rare sport is anticipated
by our riiemen at the Magnolia Gardens.
Some handsome scores win be doubtless wiped
out
In this heated term the Judges find it
difficult to make the lawyers come up to the
scratch. Fishing excursions with them are
much more in vogue than cross-examination
of witnesses.
For information regarding the case of
James Corners, charged with the murder of
George Banks, Attorney General Field is re-
ferred to the Grand Jury and to the wit
nesses whose names are recorded on the back
of the indictment
Where are the water carts? There's
plenty of use for them on Canal street, from
Claiborne street to the Ridge. The dust
flows about in perfect clouds every afternoon,
and all the pleasure of drive is spoiled.
Please see to it, Mr. Administrator.
-. Beecher said the other day that che
had endeavored to make religion cheerful. ="
Well, yes; that's what We thought he vas try
ing to do, and most people think he succeed
cd making it quite cosy and pleasant like. A
little too much, SO says Theodore.
-. Inquiry ct Capt Eads's office developed
the fact that those in charge know nothing Of
the employment of convict labor on the
jetties. ~
We are authorized by Major James of the
Penitentiary Manufacturing Company, to say
that no laborers have been engaged on South
Pass from the Penitentiary.
j.. The New York Herald says that men Of
science shave very sagely concluded that the
pilferers, the burglars and the murderers who
infest society are the victims Of moral or
immoral ballucination, and no more account
able for their acts of mischief than one Of
Maelzels automatic" Well, then, do away
with jails and penitentiaries, and build more
lunatic asylums for murderers and-men of
science.
-. Wednesday being the birthday of Pope
Plus TX, grand celebration was held in the
churches and schools in the vicinity Of Maya
zine Market. From all the steeples yellow
and white flags were displayed, on some Of
which was inscribed 'Vivat Pope Plus TX
During the evening the streets were illumi-
mated by the light of fireworks and Chinese
lanterns.
-. We believe the revenue cutter Wilder
ness first achieved notoriety for political navi-
cation, SO to speak, and now We have the
revenue cutter Dix running off on an excur-
sion, lately, with the Attorney General, the
Collector of the Port, the Deputy Collector,
the Judge Of the Superior. Court and an ex-
pro tenn State official.
The impression exists that the fishing ex-
cursion was rather diaphanous excuse, and
that matters ofserious import were discussed,
just what the questions were and how far they
were political, or otherwise, it is impossible,
just now, to state with any certainty.
Madam Rumor, however, is busy with her
many tongues.
-. James Cinners, charged with the muir
der Of Geo. Banks, colored-the buried alive
man-was brought up and plead not guilty in
clear and firm voice.
j. J. Finney, Esq, as counsel for Anners
moved that he be admitted TO bail
The Attorney General did not know any
thing about the case, but what he had read as
sensation in some city paper.
Judge Braughn was inclined to fix the
bonds at $4,000, and Mr.. Rimey will bring q
competent witness on Saturday morning, who
shall establish the fact that the ssburied alive
man" had been dead twenty-four hours before
he was ''buried alive. IN o. Times.
Whist is the matter with the Times, any
how? Who ever said that James Conners
was charged withe the murder of George
Banks? and what has Anners without any
other name to do with the charge against
James Corners, and why is J. ]. Finney, Esq,
20 anxious to have Alners admitted to bail?
and who is MI. Kinney, who is going to bring
forward that witness, and in what paper did
the Attorney General read that sensation, and
what sensation was it he read? We never
heard of it, andiwe would like to know some
thing about it.
-. The latest excitement on the streets is
the rise in city bonds. They have, under the
influence of the Water Works ordinance and
the Premium Bond Plan, skipped up nearly
ten points. with a prospect of going higher.
Securities that were kicked about the streets
few days ego are now sought for eagerly,
and the impression exists that in the near
future city evidences of indebtedness will
crawl upward to the vicinity of par Should
this prove correct, we shall never cease to sing
pens to the wisdom of the City Fathers, who
found the city cast in slough of despond
and succeeded in setting her up upon hill.
There can be no doubt about the ability Of
the city to settle her troubles if she shall
prosecute well devised systems of
