and capturing citizens, and capturing and
destroying United States mails.

invasions OF outlaws from Mexico, since they
have been Of almost weekly occurrence for
several months PAST and are increasing in
force and boldpess.
The citizens Of that country have been com

Capt. Miles Lee, of the schooner Annie that
was capsized in Lake Pon.chartrain on the

notified Coroner DeBlanc of that fact Sunday

Hayem's Injunction Quashed.

Upon application of A. Hayem, lessee Of
several markets, Judge Woods a few days ago
granted restraining order in chancery pre-
venting the city from interfering with him in
his rights as lessee. His bill in charcery was
based upon the refusal on the part Of the city
to receive his tender Of matured city bonds
for the payment of his Indebtedness under
his lease. The case came up yesterday on its
merits before Judge Woods, of the United
States Circuit Court, and after long and ex-
haustive argument on both sides, the court
ruled that the injunction should be quashed
at Hayems costs.
This judgment skaters the fond hopes Of
some of the gallant fnanciers of Carondelet
street, for, as we learn, quite number had
gone in heavily in anticipation that Judge
Woods would compel the city to receive it's
obligations in payment of its contracted debts.
Several we'll known brokers it is said are
severely taken in.

NEW York, June 1s.-The Herald,
speaking Of the currency plank OF the
Ohio Democratic platform, says it is as
great a piece Of absufdity as could have
been expected, but expressed the real
views. not only Of the Democrats Of Ohio,
but OF all the Western States. The Her
aid considers, as things now look, that
Grant saved the Republican party by his
veto Of the imitation bill, and placing the
party on sound ground in refation to the
most important of our political questions.
Western Democrats and Republicans re-
pu0iate the hard money policy Of their
Eastern brethren, and party divided
against itself on SO important 8 question
had no chance or success.
The Tribune says the Ohio Democrats
have struck out In favor of increasing
the volume of currency and must stand
or fall by that doctrine. The Tribune
considers the Republican platform on this
question preferable, and that the night
ought to be on the currency plank.
The World, after reviewing the finan-
cial planks Of the Convention, says: "It
is not worth while to discuss the final
policy founded upon such ignorance and
fabricated with such absurd incoher-
ence.'
