by What Right.

Yesterday an affidavit was made against
one John Kister. charging him with having
stolen certain amount Of money from a man
named Fred Miller.
A DEMOCRAT reporter visited the First Munich
pal Police Court, which is presided over by his
Honor 8. J. N. Smith, for the purpose Of getting
copy Of the affidavit.
When our reporter asked to be allowed to see
the affidavit he was peremptorily refused by the
Recorder His Honor offered no excuse for the
refusal, but said that he did net care what the
press said about him, as it would have no more
effect upon him than pouring water on a duck Is
back.
This ia not the first time that Judge Smith has
done this thing. We will see how long he will
be able to keep public records from the eyes Of
the public, who have q right to know what is
going on in his court.

A CARD FROM II. l.. WEBER.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8, 1877.
Editor Democrat statement app AIRED in
yesterdays New Orleans Times in reference to
controversy growing out OF q personal matter be
tween myself and Mr.. L. Reynaud, which is entire
ly incorrect To the main issue of the case will
only say that acted from beginning to the end
upon the defensive, and that / propose to refute
the same in day or two by competent authority.
Now, as to the duel TO have been fought between
myself and Mr.. Reynaud, / hereby declare
upon my honor and those of my Sec
onds, who are here present to sustain
me in this assertion, that | had no
hand in the matter OF the arrest of Mr.. Reynaud,
who came down with the parish Judge who had
the warrants Of arrests in his pocket, and who, it
ID presumed, had Mr.. Reynaud arrested that
night, whilst /, finding out through one OF my
seconds that warrant OF arrest was out for me,
evaded, with my seconds, an arrest that evening,
and was only arrested the following morning,
not at the Mobile Railroad depot, but at the
Pontchartrain depot, where my seconds and my
self had thought best to take the train. My Sec
onds and those Of Mr. Reynaud proceeded to the
rendezvous appointed There. after long
and tedious interview, proposition was
made to my seconds by those of Mr..
Rsynaud, to the effect that 'inasmuch as the
principals had been prevented, through
the Intervention of the law from encountering
each other we, the said seconds offer the follow
ing proposition as an honorable basis for the adj
justment of the controversy existing between the
said Felix Revnaud and u. L. Weber" This prop
osltion Was retraction of what said and did to
MIR. Reynaud, and rice versa. My seconds signed
these propositions as they understood them;
that il / refused to accept them they would meet
Mr.. Reynaud's seconds yesterday morning. sig
nifyiDg the same to him; that they were TO be null
and void and destroyed. My seconds, when meet |
informed that they (Mr. Reynaud's seconds) had |
understood that the propositions whether &C. |
copied by one party or the other, were binding |
and ended the matter at issue. Upon hearing OF |
this decision immediately asked my seconds to |
explain the case as they had understood 1t, and |
they in person waited upon Mr.. Reynaud with /
the following statements. which he refused to /
accept
New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 8, 1877.
MIR, Felix Reynaud:
Strive have oct your seconds on the ground /
appointed. They offered us propositions in writ
ing which were to sho1d good and be final in case
they were acc pied by either party; we were to
meet your seconds this morning, destroy the
same, anddeclare them null and void. Meeting
vour secondsthis morning, they declared TO that
they understood the propositions to be binding If
sccep'e ed by or the other party, and to put an
end to the controversy. Kno wing that these
are repugnant to Mr.. Weber, that
he has no desire to retract anything he did or
said; to appear as the aggressor when he was
acting in self-defense; we hereby withdraw this
as also our signatures attached there
to. Respectfully,

A Deserved Tribute.

The DEMOCRAT office, last evening, received a
serenade from the band of that gallant company,
Company A, Orleans Battalion Of Artillery, be-
hind which, in their tasty uniforms, full COM
mand kept in step. The occasion of last nights
turnout was the presentation to their comm ander,
the spirited Capt. E. A. Ducros, of a sword from
the boys who follow him.
The sword was a neat and appropriate present.
It was of the late regulation size, with nickel
plated scabbard, gilt ornaments and highly
engraved. The company marched around to
Capt. Ducros residences No. 12s st. Philip street,
and appropriate speeches were made and the
captain made happy.
