The approach OF the picnic season mas seNt
ham and mustard up in the market and it is
r,mored there is corner in sandwiches and
pickles.
Mrs Lsorena MidGlemarch, Of the Fourth
District was asked Icy her husband the other
night to spell "bleyme," and the doctors say
the old man will only be marked over the
right eye.
There we're some very remarkable spiritual
manifestations at o dinner given at the lake
Saturday evening. A committee OF some OF
our oldest lawyers say nothing like 1t has
been seen here before.
bill was introduced at the extra session
to change the venue of the case OF the State
vs.. Alex. Newton, charged with killing
Bourdonay, to the parish OF St John the
BAPTIST, We learn that Attorney General
Field is preparing an opinion upon the IN
constitutionality Of this law.
Appointments.
Tho following appointments were yester-
day made by the Governor: G. Bouligny,
Flour Inspector, parish Of CLEANS; c. 5.
Kenney, Supervisor of Registration, parish
of Tensas, vice James S. Mathews, resigned.
Rise Coming.
There is q gorge somewhere above in the
political river, and there comes down now
nothing in the least interesting. We may ex-
pect, however, flood very soon, as it is re-
ported that some very curious combinations
are forming. There was quite gathering of
Conservatives in kellogg's Office yesterday
afternoon, and q very earnest and quite
lengthy talk had, but to what purpose it was
impossible to find out.
Preparing Tor Winter.
Spring fights are coming on, but 1t was not
believed that the season for nominating
Governors was here. Last night the ball
was opened and in the rotunda speculations
were rife as to who would succeed Kellogg,
or rather who would lead the Conservative
ticket in the coming election. Several names
were spoken Of, amongst others Wilt, Eustis,
Jeffries and McEnery. Little nominating
conventions were going on in the several
corners, whilst on the portico held out sort
Of open air caucus.
ReorRaniza alton Probable.
Legislative circles are busy just now in
canvassing the probabilities OF reorganlza-
ton of the House and the election OF new
Speaker at the coming session. In Repub.
lican ranks it was very generally conceded
that il was we'll assured that Wilt would
carry everything before him. as he would re-
ceive, besides his supporters votes, those not
belonging to his party.
At tho CustOm- II 0use.
In the United States Courtroom can be
now seen what might be called champion
venire of jurors. Rarely before have we
remarked such an unlettered gathering, and,
saving here and there an exception, they
almost come up to the we'll known picture OF
q South Carolina panel. Their efforts to
wrestle with the intricacies Of business
accounts and knotty law questions are well
worthy of the pencil Of Hogarth.
In the Marshal's office quiet reigns, and
Commissioner Weller states that even the
deck hands have ceased their pugilistic tricks,
and he has now plenty of leisure.
In the Post Office the arrival of J. NJ. 6.
Parker, the newly appointed Postmaster, Is
awaited with patience. Special officers report
that there are now fewer complaints about
the New Orleans Office than ever before.
S,aH ~ 0nnfn
visitors yesterday, but there was nothing OF
note transpired. Imports at this season OF
the year generally drop off and the rev enue
department has somewhat more leisure.
Captains Elan iers and Moffat, local inspec'
tors, have their hands full of the late disaster
and the investigation goes on daily.
