In alemOria m-JOhn Mitchell.

The meeting at st. Patrick Hall Sunday
evening, called for the purpose of paying a
tribute of respect to the memory of John
Mitchell, was very largely attended. There
appeared a greater proportion of ladies til an
is usual on such occasions. On behalf of
the lIibernia Benevolent and Mutual Aid
Association. under whose auspices the
meeting was held, John McPheln, Esq,
called the assemblage to order. Hugh
Flynn, Esq, was then chosen president, j.
N. Healey and NJ. Cooney. Esas, secreta-
ries, and long list of vice presidents ac-
cepted.
Major John II. New was then presented
was literary composition of superior
merit. In easy, flowing. simple language it
gave the history Of the life of John Mitchell
and an analysis OF his character. Faithful
to his model the orator never deviated from
honest praise to partisan adulation. 1t was
John Mitchell he spoke of and nothing else.
There were many opportunities to turn
aside and gain the approval of his audience,
but he and his subject were above tIat and
did not need it. The manner of the speaker
was in perfect harmony with his address,
and he captivated his hearers for the simple
reason that he exhibited the same quality
he ascribed to his hero.
At the conclusion of Major News address
Frank McGloin. Esg, made few remarks |
relative to the subject and the meeting

A Legal Romance.

In the United States Circuit Court veg
terday the judges gave a hearing to an
equity proceeding which was based upon
averments of a peculiar and novel charac.
ter. The plaintiffs in the bills filed are
residents Of Louisiana, and claim to be
heirs of Nancy Brown, who was daughter
of Elizabeth Butler, of Baton Rouge The
bill set forth that in 1924 Elizabeth Butler,
at Baton Rouge, deposited with the late
Stephen Glrard the sum of $4,000 for the
use Of Nancy Brown, the deposit to con-
tinue for ninety-nlne years unless the
money was sooner called for bv
Nancy Brown or her heirs. In 1S43,
AbJah Russ, one of her heirs, armed
with the certificate of deposit given by Mr..
Girard to Elizabeth Butler, and power of
attorney. started to this city to procure the
money, but his funds being insufficient he
could not complete the journey. Subse-
quently he had domestic difficulty with
his wife, who in a tit Of rage threw the GER
tificate and letter of attorney into the fire,
where they were destroyed. In the mean
time Mr. Girard died, leaving will Great
ing certain trusts which are well known
and naming the city of Philadelphia trustee
under his will. Being in INDECENT circum-
stances the complainants were unable to
take further steps in the matter until
very recently. Their counsel applied to
LhO tIooCCCc iOA ACoNc W CA0uluo ME.
Girards books for the entry of this
deposit, which application was refused
Wherefore they pray the court to order
discovery and account by the city as
trustees under the will. A demurrer was
filed to the bill, upon which a hearing was
had. The argument was made by Mr..
Frank Cheney for the complainants, and ex-
Judge brewster for the city. The court
sustained the demurrer, holding that the
remedy-if they were entitled
to one-wss not against the trustees under
the will, but against the personal repre-
of Mr.. Grard; and also that, as
the suit was for the recovery of personal
estate, it should have been brought by the
executor or administrator of Nancy Brown,
and not by her heirs. The judges said the
claim was strongly colored with improba-
bility, but that no difficulty should be put
n the way of counsel's efforts to examine
Mr.. Girard's books in order to ascertain
whether there was really any ground for
prosecuting the demand. - Philadelphia

The Louisiana Eatra Session.

The Louisiana Legislature will meet in
extra session on Wednesday of next week
The proclamation of Governor kellogg
calling it together limits the session to ten
days and confines its work to six specified
subjects. These are the adjustment of the
political difficulties heretofore existing in
the State; the mode Of collecting and dis.
burslng the revenues; An amendment of
the funding law so as TO prevent the fund
ing OF illegal obligations; the financial con-
dition and government of the city of New
Orleans; relief OF the commerce of that
city from excessive port charges: and to
consider the incorporation of the Board of
Trade of New Orleans.
1t is greatly to be hoped that the Legisla-
ture, and all parties and factions in the
State, will accept in good faith the provis-
ions Of the compromise proposed by the
congressional committee The best good of
the 1State requires that all parties, espe-
clally the White Leagues and Ku-Klux.
should honestly and heartily unite in sup
port OF this programme. But that there are
those who do not want peace and order to
prevail IN Louisiana is shown By the sneers
and slurs still thrown out by the Democratic
newspapers against Governor Kellogg, who
is recognized by the action Of the committee
as the rightful executive. Without ques-
ton he has done more than any other man
Of either party in the State to secure q
peaceful settlement Of it's troubles. We
trust the Democrats in Louisiana will them.

Death Of a New Orleans Printer in Gal
weston.

weston.
The Galveston Nercury-Joseph Fl. Will
sons paper-of the tenth instant, contains
an account Of the death of former resident
of this city, gentleman we'll known and
highly esteemed
Thomas S. Moore died in Galveston on
Thursday, at twelve o'clock, midnight.
Nearly quarter of century ago we worked
by the side of Mr. Moore, he then acting as
foreman of the New Orleans Delta. What
a change since then! Of an active, quick
temperament, possessing the rare quality
among printers of untirlng energy and in
dustry, Mr.. Moore stood even as far back
as that date at the head of his profession.
For some time he was foreman of the Mer-
curry, but had to retire on account of bad
health. He was kind hearted and ger lie.
His death sewers another of the links in the
chain of life which bound the past to the
present. His family have our kndlest
sympathy in their bereavement.
Mr.. Moore was, we believe, native of
Ohio; he arrived in New Orleans about l845;
was foreman for several years of the Com
n,erciai Times, and afterward Of the Della.
Creole and Post; he held the position of
news editor on the Tsue Delta and the
Times, was a member Of the City Council
of New Orleans, and occupied other places
of responsibility and trust, and was never
found wanting in either energy, capacity or
integrity. He was fitty-five years of apa
and leaves a widow and family of Eve or
six to mourn his loes-a loss which is d..
plored by innumerable friends both hero and
in New Orleans. and every place else where
he,was known.

GALVESTON, April IA special to the
Neacs dated Brownsville, April II, says:
More recent advices are that party of
raiders went into Roma to reconoitre. They
thought Captain Boyer was not there. He
Immediately mounted his men and gave
pureuit, but the enemy crossed the Rio
Grande before he reached their camp.
The raiders wanted to use the boat at
Roma to cross their stolen goods without
wetting. Mr.. Borden has declared his in
tention to follow the raiders into Mexico.
He had thirty men a few days since as
Brown they saw two Mexicans approaching
them. and two of the guard went out to
meet them. The Mexicans went toward
the ferry at Tomato rancho, entered q boat
and two men appeared on the Mexican
bank and fred at the soldiers. No doubt
the Mexicans intended to steal the govern
ment horses.
Mr. Airey, United States commercial
agent at Camargo, writes to Consul Wilson,
at Matamoras, April S. and says that few
days previous the Camargo authorities re-
ceived notice from Mer that a party of
fifteen or twenty armed men had crossed
from Texas and were proceeding toward
Camargo. When they reached there eight
of them were arrested-three in town and
five at a rancho. The three were examined.
The chief of police told Mr. Airey their
horses had American brands, and many arti.
cles taken from them were evidently Amer
lean. Mr.. Airey asked the mayor of
CamargO to let him see the horses and
articles. He refused but said he had tele-
granhed his request to Matamoras.
The prisoners are said to be on their way
to Matamoras. Consul Wilson has notified
Judge Dougherty, and proposes to aid our
authorities in any action they may take.
The judge is compelled to hold court in
Judge Wares district. He sent telegram
to Mayor Doddridge, of Corpus Christi
and has taken steps to have the horses and
articles identified should they be brought
to Matamoras.
Alexander Morel has been missing some
time. He left here to visit sheep rancho
and carry supplies. His horse had been
seen with party of raiders returning to
Cuevas rancho in Mexico. Morels brother
has been hunting his body without success.
j. NJ. Callen has received notice from
Mexican sources that 100 men are at the
Charco EscondidO, thirty-fve miles back of
ReyEosa. Mexico Also that the raiders
are introducing men into Brownsville to
fire houses and commit robberies. The
feeling here is fight leave or have your
throat cut. 1t is mere question of time
as to the assassination of the few Amer
leans living in the valley of the Rio Grande.
