CRESCENT CITY BATTALION.

For the first time since the war we witnessed
n genuine battalion drill which took place at tho
Ogden Park yesterday evening. This drill is
deserving Of special mention. as the movements
were beautifully executed showing a careful

pished tactican Col. Fenner. who commands
them. His thorough knowledge of the various
intricate movements in Upton'a tactics enables
him to manHuvre his battalion with ease.

One Of the evo!utions, which was executed
admirably WIS the formation of column
of fours into limo by two movements,

companies that had changed direction came to
q fours LETT, and the rear companies formed on
the left at q double time by left front into line.
A number of other movements. among them we
might merton the following: Being. in line al

SHORTHAND NOTES.
What Recorder smith Says of Judge
Whlfakersa nerisfOu

Meeting Recorder Smith yesterday our re-
porter asked him what he thought Of the do
csion OF Judge Whitaker. of the Superior
Criminal Court. in the matter of G. o. Haley
appI yng for writ Of habeas corpus. which
was refused by Judge Whitaker. Recorder
would terminate. but although the decision
sustained him. he thought that there was an
apparent contradiction in it, for whilst Judge
Whitaker says that he had nothing to do with
the question rs to whether witness can be
hand notes. he does say in his decision that he
thinks 1t proper to say that il tho subject were
before tho court the practice would be repro
bated."
Recorder Smith added that he WAS not respon-
sible for the legislation of the law makers they
had seen proper to put on the statute books
that in such cases witnesses should append their
signatures to their testimony. and he had to fol-
low the law.
He further informed our reporter that he had
sent q couple of cases to the Superior Criminal
Court. yesterday. without requiring the wit
nesses to subscribe to their written testimony.
In order to afford Judge Whitaker an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the question.
But. Judge" our reporter asked, the cases
you speak of are not grave cases, hope"
Yes" replied the Judge. "one Of them is n
very grave case. but there is no danger of the
defeating of the ends of Justice through my &C
ton for have satisfied myself that there Is
abundant evidence that can be- furnished out
papers In the case The subject" concluded
Judge Smith, is very interesting one, and
would be very happy to 500 it settled by the
proper authority.
