We feel that We deserve some
credit for our industry in getting be-
fore our readers, in this issue, the full
opinion of the Supreme Court of Lou
isiana in the case of the State vs..
Thomas C. Anderson. From the anxi-
ETY. we have heard expressed by mem.
bers of the bar, we are satisfied the
decision will be read with more than
usual interest, from the fact that it has
surprised every one at all acquainted
with the facts, the charge, and the YER
dict of the jury. The court has shown
itself capable of rising above public
opinion, and have expounded the law
as they understood it to be, without
favor or affection, and regardless of all
consequences. A most striking and
impressive exempli6cation ofthe truth,
so constantly insisted upon by the
trainers of our republican government.
that our Judiciary should be blind to
all surrounding influences, and wholly
independent Of the legislative and OK.

clamorings of the people themselves

A REMARKABLE SToRY.-Au almost
Incredible story is related of Marshal
Canrobert, who was sent to Rome to
represent France at the funeral Of Vic
tor Emanuel and the accession to the
throne of Humbert. For the expense
of himself and suite he was given thir-
ty thousand francs, of which he spent
only thirteen thousand. On his return
home he went to the foreign Office and
handed to the minister of that depart
ment the balance, amounting to seven
teen thousand francs. The minister
refused to take the money, saying that
there was no precedent for such a
thing; that the outlay was made and
accounted for, and that was the end of
it. The Marshal answered that if it
was absolutely necessary that some
body should steal this money, he
would rather somebody else should do
it, and asked for receipt. Such is
the story, and as Canrobert was born
in 1909, before defrauding the govern
ment was considered no robbery, it is
possible it may be true.

Burning Of the Steamboat Dawn,

The Red River steamer Dawn left
Shreveport on Monday, April l, 1873,
at 8 p. M, bound for New Orleans,
with cargo consisting of cotton and
stock, made additions to her trip on
the way down, and, at the time she
burned, had on board 485 bales cotton
81 head of cattle, 3O7 head of sheep, 70
head OF hogs, and various snndries, as
per manifest published in Fridays dali
ly papers. She had full complement
of officers and crew, and four ladies
aud three gentlemen as passengers.
At FIVE minutes to Z o'clock Thursday
morning, the alarm of fire was given,
and it was discovered that the cotton
in the lower tier on larb0ard side,
abreast of the boilers, was on fire.
At the first alarm every man was at
his post. Every effort was made to
extinguish the flames, but in vain. At
that time strong wind was blowing,
and the boat was at once headed for
the shore aud effected landing, assis-
ted by the citizens on shore, at the
M'lliken and Wliitlead plantation, in
St. Charles parish, about 80 miles
above New Orleans. A portion of the
crew escal ed from the forward part OF
the boat, but the majority of them and
the ladics escaped aft, aided by skiff
sent out from the shore by party of
fatboatmen, who were working there.
La less than seyen minutes from the
time the alarm was given the Dawn
was Gu FIRE from stem to stern. Every
officer remained at his post until driv-
en- away by the flames, four of them
plunsing overheard and swimming to
shore, which fortunately was but a few
yards distant.
No lives were lost, but all baggage
and personal effects were burned, the
ladies escaping with only what wearing
apparel they had on, and several OF
them losing their jewelry. The resi-
dents along the shore, particularly Mr..
and Mrs. Whitehead, Mr.. P. j. Kear-
ney, Mr.. Thos. j. Darksley and Mr..
Tobin, were as kind as they could
possibly be, throwing open their
houses and giving everybody their un-
divided attention in clothing and pre-
pairing meals for them for which they
would not accept cent of pay. In a
very short time the boat burned to the
waters edge and sunk. At 2 o'clock
the steamer Bart Able came down and
brought everybody to New Orleans
free of charge, for which they have
their heartfelt thanks. The Dawn
was owned by Capt. Chas. P. Truslow
her commander, and Chas. w. Drown
her chief clerk.-[N. O. Times.
