CUsTOM.HOUsE NOTES.

The deposits at the United States Sub
Treasury from all sources yesterday We're
S13,469 IL. The amount of gold on hand
which the treasury accountants were going
over yesterday is $1,153,79o.
The immense weight Of the material used
in the construction of the vault in the Sub
Treasury has caused the floor on which the
vault rests to settle somewhat. and it may
yet be necessary to place iron pillars or sup
ports under the vault.
Special Agent Adams will. with Special
Agent Hale of the Treasury Department,
leave for Lake Charles tomorrow. z They
would have gone yesterday but for the fact
that the revenue cutter Dix, on which they
will go, only arrived from Mobile yesterday,
and will require repairs to her boiler before
putting out again.
Quite large number of witnesses were in
attendance Yesterday at the United States
Circuit Court, having been summoned in the
Cleveland and Mills cotton case, which was
postponed until May q.

A HOT ELECTION.

There was not little excitement in rail-
road circles yesterday over the election of the
directors of the Crescent City Railroad Com
pany. For some time past it has been known
that there would be an opposition ticket in
the field but it was not until the last two
weeks that it's strength was considered by the
present management as q thing worth caring
for. The old ticket, or rather that put forward
by the past administration, WAS as follows:
Albert Baldwin, E. J. Hart, Robert Strong,
b. W. Taylor HUI. Kennedy, and against it:
W. Van Bsnthuysen, U; Marinonl, Frank
Yesterday morning the poll was opened at
the office of the company, on Canal street,
few doors from Exchange Alley, and the
stockholders rallied with a will for their re-
spective tickets. The race was thought to be
a close one, and this enhanced the interest
in the event. Some time after the election
commenced vote was offered by o party
holding proxy, and the vote was challenged
and thrown out.
1t appears that there is provision in
the charter which declares that stockholders
only can vote at an election OF directors when
they have owned their stock at least ninety
days preceding such election.
The administration side allege that the
parties who claimed to vote by proxy bad
under the charter no such right, and there
fore such ballots should not be counted This
view was sustained by the tellers, and after
rejecting a number of votes, for the same
reason, at / O'Clock the box was closed and
| the votes counted.
| The result was as follows For the Baldwin
or administration ticket 3l09. and for the Van
Benthuysen ticket 2757, giving a majority. OF
352 for the Baldwin ticket, after the votes by
proxy had been thrown out.
Protests were entered against tho count
and it is probable the courts will be callec
upon to settle the difficulty.

A NEW PLAY:

Miss Lillian Cleves Clarke, the attractive
young lady whom our people remember most
pleasantly as dividing with Kate Claxton the
honors Of the 1.-TWO Orphans at the Varieties
last winter, is, we hear, to make starring
tour in an adaptation of one of Octave Feuil-
let's brilliant plays, not less brilliantly
translated for her by two young journalists
of this city. In this connection we will say
that we are assured that Miss Clarke is not
less attractive in social life than upon. the
the Irish Kings like Miss Futherlngay,
she has most distinguished connections.
OF the play itself. which is Lies Pommes
due Voisin," we can only say that if itprove a
success the adaptors will deserve great credit,
for, while it is most admirably and exquisite
ly written, it fell far short of success as a
stage play in the French.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AIM EE.

The Mexican steamer from Vera Cruz,
bearing Aimee and her troupe, had not yet
arrived at a late hour last evening, hence
there was no performance at the Varieties
last evening. Manager Hall says that he was
informed at the Signal Service office that 1t is
improbable that the vessel has met strong
head winds, but very possibly she has been
delayed by fogs. There is still a possibility
that Aimee and her troupe will appear this
evening in LA Marjolaine."

During the preliminary trial OF Mrs.
Ormsby one of the witnesses, Mrs. Ellison,
testified that she kept an designation house
at No. 1913 Carondelet street. This statement,
made under oath and In open court, supplied
positive testimony as to the character OF the

though the purposes to which 1t was devoted
were of public notoriety, and it occasioned

of the neighborhood to Chief OF Police Boy
