REGIMENT OF ORLEANS ARTILLERY.

In view of the dissatisfaction which appears
to exist in the various companies composing
the regiment of Orleans Artillery, Adiutant
General Patton has ordered an inspection of
this command to take place at the State
Arsenal, on st. Peter street, on Sunday next,
June 30, at 10 o'clock a. M, when the true
status Of the regiment will be ascertained,
and the companies which are within the pro-
visions OF the law will be retained, and all
others will be mustered out OF service From
all reports, it appears that the fifth company,
ommanded by Capt. A. Sambola; the fourth
company, commanded by Capt. Peyroux, and
perhaps the second company, commanded by
Lieut.. Shepperd, are those who will show a
strong front to preserve the existence Of the
command. Major Bachemin, who is now in
command OF the regiment, has called meet
ing of all the commissioned officers to assem-
BILE at the arsenal on Tuesday next at p. m.

A ROmantic suicide.
Nav York Timts.l


Gases of romantic suicide as they are often
styled in the newsp apers, lose much Of their
romance on investigation, Recently, in San
Francisco, young man-he must have been
very young-of the Wertherian school, ended
his life for no better reason than because a
girl had declined to love him. He left a note
addressed to her-NelIie KELVIN which he
said that her Cruz lty had killed him; that ne
died with her name on his lips; that he would
meet her in Heaven, where kinder fate
would be his, where they should be happy
with the angels, and deal more OF such sen
timental stuff. reporter OF an evening
paper, after reading the account in the morn
ing journals, naturally desired further inter
estiDg particulars, and sought out Nellie Tor
the purpose of interviewing her. She proved
to be the reverse Of an elegant or interesting
creature. In fact, she was both prosaic and
illiterate. In answer to inquiries she replled !:

A PrOtracted Meeting of the Battalion
Over a Debaaed Question.

PrOtracted Meeting of the Battalion
over a Debated Question.
There is quite stir in Washington Artil-
Iery circles lately, over the question as to
whether the battalion would be mustered into
the State militia or preserve its independent
character. At a meeting held few evenings
ago, the battle between the militia side and
the Independents waxed wroth, and the meet
ing was kept in session until nearly II o'clock
without definite action. A resolution offered
that the battalion forever would preserve it's
independent character was lost by a close
VOTE No member was allowed to leave the
arsenal, there being two sentries placed at
the door, but several managed to climb the
back walls and got home.
1t Is d little difficult to understand this OBJ
lection towards being mustered into State
service on the part Of the boys. There is a
difference between the ordinary militia and
what is known as State troops. The ordinary
citizen is a militiaman, but these uniformed
organizations, when mustered into State SER
vice, are the States troops, and not the ON
n3one gatheranp known generally as the mill
tia. The boosted Seventh Regiment of New
York, and the well-drilled First Maryland,
both are State organizations, having been
regularly mustered in and subject to the
orders of the Executives of those States. What
reason the artillery boys have for staying out
we cannot divine.

FIFTH DISTRICT COURT.

A petition was filed yesterday before
Judge Rogers by T. Wharton Collens
for writ of injunction to restrain Treas
urer Dubuclet from paying out moneys
Illegally appropriated and from making COM
promises with defaulters and giving illegal
preferences to holders Of warrants for back

Mr.. J. r. Alcee Gauthreaux, State inspector
of cattle at the Crescent City Slaughter
House, filed a petition yesterday in this court
praying for writ of Injunction against one
John Gische, to restrain him from slaughter
ing cattle in the Fifth District without paying
the iDsnectiOn fee of ten cents head, five
cents of which goes to the Charity Hospital
and five cents to the inspector. He says that
Gische owes him 5000 in such fees, and asks
Judgment for the amount. The law cited pro-
hibits the Strengthening of stock without the
inspectors certificate, and requires the in
spection to be made at the Slaughter. House.

and is B0Osed.
Capt Gill, OF the Third Precinct arrested
VIM. Won Sachs at his residence No. SO st.
Ann street, and locked him in the Third Sta
ton, on the charge Of having, from informa-
tion received, obtained money under false pre-
lenses. Won Sachs was very violent and re-
sisted arrest He broke from the officer and
went back to his house, calling for pistol,
and saying that he would be killed before 60
ing to Jail. But all his clustering availed
naught, and at last accounts he was sleeping
soundly in his lonely cell.
According to what was gathered from one
and the other and by hearsay, it seems that
Sachs, representing himself as court officer
called at the house of woman, whose name
could not he ascertained, and demanded from
her $780, He substantiated the claim by pro-
ducing warrant for the arrest of the woman
should she fail to comply with the request.
The woman being ignorant and easily fright
ened did not know what to do or say. She
was intimidated by Won Sachs, who offered to
compromise the claim for $40, and she accept
ed. subsequently she ascertained that she
had been imposed upon, and complained to
her friends about the trick PLAYED on her.
This reached the ears of the police and hence
the arrest of the bogus collector Of claims.

ADELICATE OPERATION.

One of the most delicate operations known
to surgical art, requiring the rarest touch and
exactness, is that for cataract of the eye. a
few days ago DR.. G. Beard, the well-known
and most skillful operator, performed on Mr.
Jos. West, merchant doing business at No
1872 Poydras street, this operation in most
successful manner. Mr.. West had consulted
several distinguished oculists of this city and
New York, without securing relief, and, at
last, visited DR.. Beard. The cataract, under
the hand of that scientist, was speedily taken
out and the sight restored. When this pain
full operation and cure had been assured
Mr.. West concluded to start on a trip West
and tomorrow will leave US.

WARM THE CAMP.
The COnttnentaIs 10 The FrOnt-The Mobile
Expedition.

The E0mttnentals 10 lhe FrOnt-The Mobile
Expedition.
On Thursday last the Contlnentals finished
their thirty-third competition among their
members for positions on their "Mobile
Team" After an elaborate and comparative
examination of the several scores, Capt
Pierce found so much difficulty in determin-
ing which were the lowest, all being below a
fair average, and equally unsatisfactory, that
he settled upon another method of selecting
his team. With that object In view, he had
sent to the armory one of Fairbanks scales,
deciding to select the team by weight. The
following heavy shots were selected as a
team and reserves: Messrs. Drown, $50; Ca
thalongue, go; Wilson, BIS; Gillen, 21O; O'Con-
nor, 2O9; Wood, 206; John, 204; Watkins, 1893 !;
Thiel, 1889; Pierce. 1888; the infant, Zeph Inbau,
z059z, being selected as official scorer.
The arbitrary ~ action of Capt. Pierce and
his novel mode OF selecting the team has given
great dissatisfaction among the thin mem
bers OF the organization, and we learn there is
q large size row brewing In camp; but we feel
quite sure that 1t will not prove so serious as
TO result In pOStponement OF their Fourth of
July excursion. En- PEASANT, we may remark
that the ContinentalS have completed all their
arrangements for the excursion; through the
courtesy OF Col. Dan Robinson and Major 5.
e. Carey, of the Mobile Road, every facility
has been afforded them to make the trip a
grand success
And 1t now only remains for an apprecia-
tive public to come forward and assist an or
ganization that has shown itself ever ready
to lend its valuable effultS in aid OF the num-
berless charitable associations of our city.
We heartily wish the Continentals the reward
they so richly deserve.
