MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE HARRIET IgEVENU ETs.

Yesterday, at noon, according to public an
nouncement, Administrator Cavanac proceed
ed to sell the market revenues for the year
1879. In the absence Of Mr.. Hoey, the city g
auctioner Mr.. s. 2. Labarre, chief clerk of
the Department of Commerce. acted as auc-
tioneer.
At the very opening of the sale an indi-
vidual named Anoeman (who has figured in
the recent vegetable-growere' controversy in
connection with the stalls In the markets),
addressing himself to the attendance, said, in
a loud voice, that he wished to inform every
body present that an Injunction had been
issued from the Sixth District Court prohibit
ing the sale OF the market revenues, and
warned them not to buy them.
Administrator Cavanac, rising from his seat,
replied that he would say that no Injunction
had been issued, and that those who would
purchase would be doing a legitimate act.
The sale was then resumed with the follow
ing result, which is published, together with
the prices obtained for the revenues Of the
ca mo markets. in 1p;H-

LEONARD'S STATUS.
THE CUsTONE~HOUsE OFFICIALS TREAT
TmE MATTER AS A JOKE

The Custom House magnates take the tel
egram from Washington, published In yester-
dav mornings DEMOCRAT, concerning the
nroDosed removal OF United States District
Attorney Albert Leonard as q highly sensa-
tional affair and without foundation; in fact,
as joke, Collector Smith particularly could
not believe that the dispatch was serious.
sYou mean,' said our reporter, s'as far as
you are yourself concerned
"No,' he answered, 'T mean as far as
Anderson Wells, Lewis and the others are
concerned. We are all friends Of Leonard"
Jim Lewis. being met laughed at the
thought and vouchsafed his friendship for
Albert Leonard and assured our reporter that
he could answer for Dumunt and Stamps. 'I
did kick once, and only once" said the naval
officer. "and that was when some people
wanted to go into the Native American Asso-
citation; but my friend was pretty well fixed
to stay in the Republican ranks. just now
am in sympathy with the Citizens party. We
have good opportunity now to show up the
in connection with the election in New Or
leans and In Tensas."
Lewis probably meant that some eytraor-
binary revelations were intended to be made,
but did not SO express himself. The arrival
of
ANDERSON, WELLS
and company on the Bertha to-day may have
some o1unous significance in relation to
Lewis utterances, but whether the Missis-

TINE UPPER CITY HOTEL ENRICHMENT

In relation to the article published in the
DEMOCRAT, relative to the alleged ejectment
from the Upper City Hotel of Mr.. Jos, Nathan
by J. N. Barcello, the proprietor Mr.. Bar
cello makes the following statement in de-
fense: He says that room was engaged at
his hotel by two young men for a gentleman,
who shortly thereafter came and was shown
to ut. Subsequently lady came to the hotel,
and, introducing herself as Mrs. Nathan, the
boarders mother, asked to see him. She was
accordingly conducted to Mr.. Nathan's apart
ment, when he discovered that Nathan had
the yellow fever.
Learning that Nathan had left his home
with the fever on him, to avoid having his
sickness there and risk his family by the con-
tagion he objected to be used as It convent
enCe, by converting his house into q hospital,
and insisted on Nathan's immediate removal.
He denies emphatically having used re-
vover or any other means except moral force
to compel Nathan's removal.
The parties who were present at the time of
the eiectment state that the sick man vacated
the room only after q revolver had been
drawn on his friends.

A Deputy marsn,an who won't prosecu,

Deputy Marshal vvRso Wont Prosecute.
A representative of the DEMOCRAT called
yesterday afternoon upon Mr.. Chas 6. John
sen one of the leaders Of the Citizens party,
and was informed by that gentleman that he
knew nothing of any interview having been
held by q delegation of that party in commit
tee with Gov. Nichols. To-day at noon, be
said, g. committee Of the party would wait
upon the Governor and present an address Or
request for the Executive to Issue letter or
address to the law officers OF the State, re-
used by them In the inquiry into the alleged
frauds In the recent election without fear or
favor.
Mr.. johnson stated that an immense
amount Of evidence had already been acCu-
mulated, and that there would be q notary
public in every ward to receive the deposit
tions OF witnesses. He further stated that
the National party had joined the Citizens in
this movement, and that the expense would be
borne jointly. Enough money would be come
atable to defray all necessary expenditures.
and that O. contest before tie courts was q
certainty.
HE WON'T PROSECUTE.

The discrepancy Mr.. Cavanac ascribes to
the influence Of the word Injunction" which
had been mentioned for several days prior to
the sale.
During or previous to the sale Mr.. Cavanac
received a document purporting to be All in
junction from the Sixth District Court, but
which was dated January II, 1878, and was
devoid of the signature OF the clerk of the
court.
Subsequently the Mayor received an injunc-
tion in due form, which prohibits him from
entering into any contract concerning the
sale OF the market revenues.
In conversation with Administrator Cavanac
that gentleman said that he regretted sincere
ly that the injunction should have been re-
sorted to, for he was satisfied that with
out It the markets would Won d. have

mainder of the pay rolls of the city, at a time
when its employees could not need the money
more than they do now. AS to the legality Of
the course of the Council In the matter, the
| innumerable preceuents on record, he thought,
would show that they were right; that
the eity was s forporaton s,dh and

unjust on the part Of its administrators at
any time TO fail to avail itself Of its opporttl-
@ mites to to gette ft W1th esPecaly the poorer

as absurd, he said, for anybody to have en-
deayored to prohibit the Council
to lease the wharves Or contract
with the Gas Company to illuminate the city,
for term of years extending beyond the term
of office OF the Council making the lease or
contract II the act of the person seeking to
epioin the sale Of the markets was plausible,

Donogh fund, composed Of the Mayor, the
Administrator of Accounts and the Admins

this place and one who was universally es-
teemed for his high character, both as citi-
zen and merchant. At one time he was q
prominent member of our City Council hold
ing the responsible position of chairman Of
the finance committee, the duties of which
office he discharged with marked fidelity and
ability Mr.. Prados afterwards became q
partner in the extensive commercial house Of
Vose Il Co., but for the past year his health
has been such as to preclude his engaging in
active business. His death will be lamented
