ON DIT.

-. Collector Casey left Thursday evening
for Washington.
80. The Cominskey case has not yet been
put down tor trial.
80. AT the Courthouse there was but a
bare ripple on the surface of its placidity.
1.-THE Governor has appointed Michel
yictorine DejAn notary public for the parish
Of Orleans.
"A large crowd of laborers assembled at
the City Hall Friday morning, for the pur-
pose of receiving their pay, but they were too
early, and were told to come back next week
There is some talk about the present
mode pursued by the Funding Board in issu-
ing and passing upon certificates. The talk
will probably result in change of the present
plan.
-. In Republican circles the rumored
resignation of Judge Hawkins has produced
a great stir. Some credit the report, whilst
others doubt it, but the general opinion is
that the Judge will step down and out.
-. The Home Made Shoe and Clothing
Manufacturing Company is meeting with every
encouragement from the citizens of New Or
leans. A large apartment under St. Patrick's
Hall has been rented, and the company will
get to work next week.
-. If some wandering corporation driver
would stroll around the corne. of Court Alley
and Royal street, he would enjoy the fragrant
delights of six old garbage boxes that there
do offend the nostrils of passers as late as IL
o'clock each day.
Among the arrivals at the ST. Charles
Hotel we noticed the name Of Mr.. W. A. Barry,
young and enterprising merchant from Chi-
for few days, when he will start en- route
for England and France.
The excitement incident to the contest
for the Speakership Of the House of Repre-
sentatives in Congress, has reached this city,
and the respective merits of Kerr and RIM
dali are being generally discussed. At present
writing it is said the Democratic members
| from Louisiana are unit for Kerr but it is
expected Sam Randall, the shrewd politician,
will carry the day.
| oANNo-
the late census has again come to the front,
and political circles are agitated upon the
subject. Some hint that certain Democratic
| legislators have been quoted on this subject,
and that the census will be Endorsed. l. is
expected that the coming session will be
largely taken up with the consideration OF
| this subject.
| -. In glancing over the official returns of
the census, showing trades and callings for
the city of New Orleans we find the sugges-
tive and significant heading, UNITED States
Marshals," under which in solitary grandeur
we find the numeral l. 1t requires very little
discrimination to infer that this isolated
figure represents the burly form and magis-
terial amplitude of the great boss of
the Il adical party in this State Packard.
1t may appear remarkable that we do not also
find Collectors of the Port Q, Governors
| %, Lieutenant Governors ny, U. S. Senators
Cd, but this omission may be accounted for
BY the fact that in the mind of the ingenious
census takers Boss Packard is Marshal, Collec-
tor, Governor, Lieutenant Governor and I.
S. Senator, all rolled into one. Selah
-. We don't like to brag about our
weather, and we don't intend to brag about
it-but did anybody ever see anywhere else
such an opening of winter? The sky yesterday
would pass a respectable muster in Nay OF
June, and the thermometers have become sc
chemically stuck up that the mercury refuses
to fall. Coal merchants are naturally in
despair, and clothing merchants gaze upon
the full stocks of heavy winter goods with g
feeling bordering on disgust. A blanket is q
thing to be Stunned, and the very idea of 8
fire provokes perspiration. All this on the
Sd of December, 1875, when the most of the
world north of us is covered with snow anG
ice! Prof Tice, Probabilities, DIR. Nicholson
where, oh where are you?
