before he had time to prepare them; that
Judge Hugh Campbell had told him it was
his duty to make them; also, that he had
heard there was blank commission for STU
pervisor in his place sent to Monroe in the
event he did not satisfy the Republicans,
but did not see it.

There is prospect for plenty Of work
for the Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections. Republicans say that the right
OF Governor Grover and MIR. Lamar will be
contested; the former case because of Gro
yer's action in regard to the Oregon electo-
raj question, and the latter because the Mis-
sissippi Legislature which chose him was
elected by fraud. Besides these possible
cases there will probably be four contest
ants from Louisiana and South Carolina.

PBOF. FONTAINEs LECTURES.

On Tuesday evening Prof. Fontaine will deliver
the first OF series of lectures, in the course Of
which he will develop the system of hydraulics
proposed by him for the protection and drainage
of this city. We are somewhat familiar with the
ideas Of the Professor upon this subject, and can
at least promise, whatever may be the practical
efficiency Of his plans, that his presentation Of
them in the shape Of lectures will be delightful
and instructive to his hearers. The professor
has the happy knack of divesting science
of its tedious and dry precision, and i'm
parting to his conversation and writing
upon such subjects even the glamour of inagin-
stion and fancy. "Ekmuzesis" is indeed poem,
as explained by its learned discoverer, if the ap-
plication Of 80 simple natural law can be called
q discovery. This series Of lectures will be full
of interest and information for all, and no one
need be kept away by the idea that subjects will
be treated Of, and in technical way, which the
person of ordinary understanding will not be
able to comprehend. Prof Fontaine has the
good taste and sense to do away entirely with
techncalities and scientiio jargon in his discus
SIGN of scientific subjects. We specially commend
his lectures to young people, and it would be an
excellent idea for the teachers Of the various
schools to attend them with their more advanced
people of this city have more interest than any
other, perhaps, that could be discussed, and we
have no doubt that there will be plenty there to
learn as we'll as to criticise what is said.
The first lecture will be delivered on Tuesday
evenine, 9th inst, at 1880 o'clock, in the acad-
envy, University building, corner Common and
Baronne streets.

Saturday evening party Of gentlemen left the

morning, as soon asst was daylight, they started
out to enter into the sport OF duck shooting, and

The firing was kept up by all parties up to s.
o'clock, when . portion Of the party discovered
that MIR. Andrew Bchmitt, also one OF the party.
was not firing. They Immediately repaired 70
the blind TO see what the cause was, and were
shocked % finding him dead, his gun lying
cooked by bis side. IL was then thought that be
had been shot, but upon examining the body no
marks of violence were visible.
The gloomy party Immediately returned to the
city TO consult with Chief Boylan as to what they
should do under the circumstances, and the chief
told them TO bring the body to the city. A train
was chartered, and the body reached the city last
evening. It was Immediately taken to Bothick's
rtsker's establishment, where Coroner Roche
impaneled jury, held an inquest and returned q
verdict OF death by appoplexy. The body WAS
then removed to the residence Of his father, No.

The deceased was twenty-six years of age,
very estimable young man and member Of the
Continental Guards.
To the many friends of Mr. schmitt this sad
news will come with painfnl force. gem
tlenpan OF the wArmest impulses, generous TO o

ly felt.
In his loss our city loses one OF her best
citizens and the State patriot.
