twelve o'clock and daylight, burglars forced
an entrance on the Perdido street side and
quietly operated. The money tills were
rited of dozen dollars in small change
and couple of innocent revolvers disap-
peared. A bottle Of good whisky
evapOrated and as there were no cigars
in that department the rascals broke
.ransom and entered the fat Frenchman's
domain for smoke. A thousand Of his
best cigars were bagged. The intruders,
thus supplied, retired to rear room, where
they ate cold lunch, drank strong liquor,
smoked fine cigars and played a few games
of pedro, after which they silently etole
away to further enjoy their ill-gotten gains.
If the thieves will return the cigars, money
and pistols they will be welcome to all the
rest, and no questions will be asked. A

PAIR OF THEM-Charles S. Pullman
and John Sherman were on the steamboat
C. b. Church coming down the big river.
Just before reaching Vicksburg Pullman
lost, or thought he did, the sum of $l25,
and he caused Sherman to be arrested, but
proof was insufficient to hold him. On
arriving in New Orleans Pullman made
another effort with like result. Yesterday
morning when Sherman was discharged he
and his prosecutor entered the first precinct
station and packed up their dunnage
together in the most friendly manner, the
same as if nothing disagreeable had ever
existed between them. Sherman declared
that had he stolen the money he believed
himself smart enough to get off with it.

The BOND ROBBERY CAsE.-Yesterday
the examination of Messrs. Cammack, Bar
nett and Henneseey was taken up by Judge
Evans, the charge being larceny OF $l2O0O
worth of State bonds from Mr.. w. j. Black
burn. The evidence against Hennessey was
considered quite conclusive, and the fact
that Barnett had been in possession OF the
paper was shown. So far as Mr.. CaMmack
was concerned there was but little proof.
The case gees over until next Monday, when
it will be concluded.
George Mcconnell, one Of the accused,
has turned States evidence. He testified
that he had found the package of bonds and
q hat on Canal street, and he, accompanied
BY Mike Hennessey, visited Barnett's Office 4,
hut he had not arrived. They then went to
Barnett's house, without the bonds, and
told what they knew. They were informed
that the papers were of no value without
Mr.. Blackburn's signature, Mcconnell, a
Young man, was induced to sign Blackburn's
lame On the bonds, after which they were
placed in the hands of "solid" man who
lett them at Barnett's Office to be sold, and
they we're sold, Mr.. Cammack drew check
10 pay, in part, for the bonds.
The ''solid" man who left the package in
the brokers' Office remarked that the bonds
were to be sold to the best advantage, and
witness further stated that Barnett said he
could not risk his liberty for certain sum
of money which he was to gain by the
trade. Should this witness evidence be
verified by others or by circumstances, the
case will prove decidedly interesting. Judge
Evans and the detectives are pushing the
case to the best of their ability, and thus
Tar have done uncommonly well.
