An ex-Coroner was employed one
day this week us counsel for a party
charged with some petty offense and
on trial in Justice Evans court, and
during the course of his argument be-
came involved in a controversy with
the Justice, expressing some senti
ments quite derogatory to the latter's
capacity and dignity as a magistrate.
The war of words waged fercely for
while, to the edification of the by
ISLANDERS, when Judge Evans got in
the last word by sentencing the re-
fractory attorney in fact to the parish
Jail twenty-four hours for contempt
of court. Still rampant, the object
of the judicial displeasure declined to
be led like lamb to the sacrifice,
ana maue IL right ityeiyGrnr tie Con-
stable who sought to execute the
mandate of the Justice. The minion
of the law called in reinfor9ements,
however, and overcome by numbers,
the ex- Coroner was landed in dunance

Considerable excitement was ere
ated Oh Railroad Avenue, near Clai-
borne street, Thursday evening, by Il
difficulty between an officer and well
known citizen, which began with high
words, progressed to IA tussle and an
exchange of blows, and ended by the
officer firing a shot from revolver at
his antagonist as the latter retreated
into Mr.. Boudreaux's store to avoid
the bullet. A further collision was
prevented by the interference of third
parties, and the official departed to
bind up wound on his head pro-
duced by blow from his own club,
which his opponent had secured and
used during their scuffie. AS friend
of both parties we regret that they
should have become involved in such
an ARRAY, not only endangering their
own lives, but those of other persons
as well. Both are estimable men, and
should find less sanguinary method
of arranging their disagreements.

Celestin Landry, the colored man
charged with outraging his daughter,
aged nine years, died Wednesday
night -at the house of Constable Robt.
Noel, in whose custody he had been
placed for safe keeping pending his
illness. Celestin showed unmistakable
signs of insanity while in prison, and
by his filthy habits became an almost
unbearable nuisance to the other
prisoners. Being taken seriously i'll
he was removed from prison, and died
during the night of the following day,
a most revolving object, to which
death must have been happy release
from the misery of existence. The
crime with which Celestin was charged
was shown by competent evidence
never to have been fully accomplished,
but it was undoubtedly attempted,
and the statement of the girl fastened
the. odium of that attempt upon her
father.

so of the interior of newspaper"
