PoTAToE w EIGHT. The Mayor having been
informed that the hucksters 10 the. market
were selling Irish potatoes by weight at Sc in,
stead of 81 pounds to the bushel, az required
by The corporation laws, examined the case
this morning, aud found that the scales used
had been set and approved by the Clerk OF the
Market, and that the hucksers were conse-
queu,ly not to blame. The weight at which
sweet potatoes are sold by law is SO pounds to
the bushel, and as both Irish and sweet pota-
toes are sold on the same scales they had been
set at Sc pounds With the object Of eQualrzlug
the difference 10 the weights as nearly as prac-
ticable. ADD in accordance with the custom pre-
vslllng 10 all the northern markets. The Mayor,
however, considered this papabe infraetioD
of the law, aud ordered the scales to be set
properly, which was accordingly done. -

Villainous Tramps,

The tramp nuisance is becoming serious,
and will yet claim the attention of the au-
thOrities. In no previous year were the
depredations of this class so extensive as
they have been this season. The number
of vagrants with criminal proclivities is
rapidly increasing, and not only cities, but
the rural districts, are becoming overrun
with them They steal whatever they can
lay their hands on, and, what is worse, are
engaging in felOnies OF q more desperate
character. Last week, Delta was visited by
several of this elass. They arrived here in
dug out, claiming that they came from
st. Louis, and were bound for New Or.
leans. They landed here Wednesday even
ing. and prepared their supper on the shore.
That night Messrs. Simon g. Feibelman's
store was entered, and watches, revOlvers
and many other things, together with $50
in gold, which was taken out of the iron
safe, stolen. They are bold set of fellows,
for they fingered around the town all the
next day, apparently having nothing to do,
and, along toward evening, Constable
Barnes arrested them, and now they roost
in the parish jail. One of the men is recog
Dized as Vicksburg thief, Harmon by
name. Their examination was to have
taken place yesterday, but we went to
press too early to get report of it, The
property has not yet been recovered.-Mad-

The city election returns indicate close
