The Bayly & Pond Insurance Case.
The Closing Hours.

The general interest felt in the business
community in the denoument of this interest
ing case is evidenced by the very large at
tendance to hear the arguments of counsel
Inside the railing every seat was occupied and
much of the standing room taken up, Wills.
the lobby was packed. Counsel for plaintiff
opened punctually at 10 o'clock. and at the
time our report closed, were still speaking,
Mr.. Bayne having the floor. There is consid-
cradle curiosity felt as to the inclinations OF
the jury, but only surmises can be INDUCED
in, for they are all of our best citizens, and
would not permit the subject of the case to
be brought up outside the court room.
After able and elaborate arguments from
Messrs. Bayne, Semmes, Gibson, Hunt and
Kennard, the judge charged the jury al
length, and late in the evening they retired
to their rooms to consider upon their verdict.
Up to the hour this report closes they had
not agreed.

Property-holders and tenants would do we'll
to read the advertisement of the New Orleans
Sanitary and Excavating Company, who are
now prepared to remove the contents OF
vaults and sinks without creating any
nuisance or offensive odor. The apparatus
used has gained great favor in the Northern
cities on account of the great dispatch and
efficiency with which it can be used. The
deodorizing attachment is perfect, and the
most offensive matter is almost instantane ous-
|ly rendered odorless and innocuous. This ap-
paratus can be used either by day or night,
which of itself is a great advantage.
The fact that the sanitary officers and
Boards of Health of this, and other large CT
ties, have recon mended its use, declaring it
to be clearly, odorless, economical, prac-
ticable, and a preventive of disease, is a
sufficient guar Antee that the invention pos
sesses all the qualities claimed, and shows it
to be worthy of adoption from sanitary mo-
tives alone.
All orders left at the Office of the company,
1853 Common street, or sent to Box 913, Post
Office, will receive prompt attention.

ABOUT FISH.

According to the Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Times, our respected President
has been trying to walk in the footsteps Of
the lamented Lincoln, by telling "a little
story" about the venerable fossil who presides
over the State Department. The subject of
Fish's resignation being under discussion,
the President remarked that when he ap-
pointed him Secretary, Conkling was much
annoyed and asked why he did not appoint
Gen. Marcy. "But Marcy is dead" said the
President 'He is not half SO dead as Fish

OFFICIAL BLACK MAILING.

This may not be exactly the right season
FOR the remark, but while we think about 1t
we wish to set the seal of our condemnation
on the miserable and contemplate practice
Of assessing holders Of public Offices for con-
tributions for party purposes. The practice
exists and is common. 1t is regular politi-
cal habit, and we will add very bad habit.
We do not now refer to the clerks in the
granite citadel our sympathies are not at
present expansive. We do not allude to the
subordinate employees in any particular de-
partment, nor do we confne our remark to
the present year or to our own State. We
wish to put on record our mild official jour
nalistic anathema against any and all levies
of toll by party managers upon those who
hold clerkships or minor positions in import
ant public departments. This is subject
on which there is no present occasion to
branch out We need only remark that sala-
ries which will bear this blackmail are too
large, and that parties which require these
disgusting oblations are not destined to sue
coed. In prosperous days, when our own
people were ruled by agents of their own
choice, no such indecency was perpetrated
upon any department clerk. The habit is Of
Radical origin, an importation which ought
not to be tolerated by white citizens.

The rebels in Cuba are rapidly destroying
the productive capacity of the island, and will
starve out the Spanish officials, if they con-
tinue in their devastations. Sugar estates to
the number of 100 and to the value of over
$40, 900, 900, with $5,0OO,000 or $4,000, 900
worth of sugar, have been destroyed this win
ter. Of course the land is there, ready to
bloom with new wealth under peace and
liberty, but for the time being it is barren
and fruitless to the contending parties. Mean
tune the export tax on sugar has been raised
to S. As per hogshead, 50 80 per box and 50
per hogshead Of molasses OF this tax the
people Of the United States pay over S. OOO.-
600 in gold, as we consume 70 per cent OF the
sugar and 80 per cent of the molasses ex-
ported. The expectation of sugar fell from
ia, $50 tons in 1873 to GA, 100 in 1874, and Of
moiasses from 9O4, 900 to 8l7, 900 tons, doubt
less on account of the diminished production.
Thus the people of the United States have to
pay for the Cuban rebellion; both by the in
creased taxes on sugar in Cuba and by It's in
creased dearness from scarcity in other ways,
the burden is shifted as much as possible
upon U.S. Cincinnati Commercial.

THE COW WAR.
A Pitched Battle.

Though but little has been heard Of it
lately, the celebrated Sixth District COW war
is still being waged, and skirmishes between
Patty Clarke's forces and the pound drivers,
backed up by the police, have been of fire.
quent occurrence. There has, however, been
no general engagement since the great action
which took place some months ago, until
Thursday evening, when pitched battle was
fought.
In the morning the police made raid into
the dominion of Clark, and carried off and
impounded lot of his sheep. A messenger
was dispatched under flag of truce to Clark S
castle, to notify him that if his COWS were
not promptly taken within the castle walls
they would follow the sheep.
Clarks answer was worthy of the man, and
the COWS were not taken in.
At about $50 P. NJ. the police assembled in
force, and made gallant attack on the COWS
and succeeded in capturing between six and
ten head and routing the rest. Clark, from
his watch-tower, anxiously watched the en-
gagement, aud with despair noted the result.
But Clark is great chieftain, and he de-
termined to rescue those cows. The long
roll was beaten, the forces rallied and sortie
ordered, the castle gates flung open wide and
the sortie made.
Clark took the lead, armed with cheese
knife. He was closely followed by Kate Nor.
rison, one of his amazons, and Mrs. Patty
Clark brought up the rear, with an iron bar
in one hand and revolver in the other.
In this order they charged. The police
formed and calamity received the onset.
| Clark swung his cheese knife and peelel
welt down, bleeding profusely from cut IL
the head.
The police swung their clubs, bounced
Clark and he went down.
| The rest of the castle force had, however
reached the scene and entered into the action
Mrs. Clark broke a couple of heads with
her iron bar, and Kate Morrison damaged
several countenances with her brawny fists.
The battle was fierce but superior num-
bers triumphed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Patty
Clark and Kate Morrison were marched te
Jail and locked up, charged with disturbing
the peace, using obscene language, and will
assault and battery with intent to kill.
The COWS got of.
