The Police Ceurt. ,

The first two persons arralgae0 ~ the
police station last night, were charged
with being drunk, anu were required 70
pay the usual penalty.
William Ward, o god sized boy resia-
,g near 7th and Beonett streets, was
next arraigned, for assault upon james
r chardson, q lad who works n The re-
publican Office. Young Richardson tes-
tilted that he was carrying the ppers
around in the evening, when he VIZ ap-
o, cached by Ward, who told him 70 give
him (Ward) a paper. Because he refu.
sed to do this, he was detained by Ward
half an hour, and in the end was thrown
down by him, and had his hand hurt.
Ward was required to pay ~ and costs:
Two negro boys were put In the DOCK
and upon the ch rge L,ewellan Lewis al

One night last week youngI Ulysses
Grant and Boss Shepherd, under the
tutelage of Johnny Davenport, visited .
pretty-wa:ter girl saloon in New York OF
the Harry Hill pattern, and spent the
best portion of the night in the most de-
lectaOle resort. The noble scion Of the
house of Grant is said to have been ex-
tremely scared by report suddenly
sprung upon the party that the Philistines
in the shape of squad of policemen,
were upon them, having had one OF their
periodical spasms Of enforcing the rigor-
Gus excise laws, aud that the pcelers had
surrounded the den for the express pur-
pose of capturing young Grant and his
wicked companions. 1t proved q false
alarm, but in the interest of the
youngsters morals 1t Is to be hope that
the pause into which ne 10 reported to
have been thrown by the circumstance
may have the effect of keeping him out
of such Illicit retreats in the future and
of overcoming the enthu .iaslic desire
manifested by the young men to fuse
New York by gaslight." ,.,,t a,.i,os

SECOND CIRCUIT.

AS yet we have seen no mention of
aspirants for the judgeship Is this cir
cult. Can it be possible that Ouachita,
Rtchland, franklin, Catahoula, Con-
cordia, Tensas, Madison, East Carroll,
West Carroll and Morehouse have no
lawyers whose ambition would not be
sharpened, if not satisfled, with so dis
tinguished place? Or, is it that
modesty has gained an unheard-of VIC
tory in this territory of legal frater-
nifty ? The place is important, the Leg
islature will be and ought to be guided
by the wishes of the Districts aud if
individuals will not put themselves
forward it might be well for the men,
bers of the bar to signify their prefer
ence. There can be but little objection
to such course as members of the bar
are better qualified to make selection
than most other people. The country
asks nothing of lawyers, or of the Leg
stature, but honesty and capacity.
The demand Is reasonable, and the
;wo parties can have nothing but a
common interest to insure it.

Mark Twain Samuel L. Clemens)
introduced Gen. Hawley, the speaker
of the evening, at Republican meet
ing in Elmira, N. Y, few nights ago.
He referred to him as "President of
the Centennial Commission, gallant
soldier in the war, Governor Of Con-
necticut, Congressman, member of
my church at Hartford, and" contin-
ued the humorist, s'as author of the
Beautiful Snow he has added new
pang to winter. He is an American of
Americans-so broad, so bountiful in
his character that he never turned a
tramp empty-handed from his door,
but always gave him letter of intro
duction to me. He is a square, true,
honest man in politics, and must say
he occupies mighty lonesome posi-
ton" After the laughing was over,
Gen. Hawley spoke an hour and half
on the issues of the campaign.

candidate for gubernatorial honors at
the approaching election, made his tri-
umphant entrance in Thibodeaux last
Friday. At the arrival of the train he
was received at the depot by the nota.
bles Of his party in Lafourche, who had
come to congratulate him.
The reception committee consisted
of l.. F.. Schneider, proprietor of a
negro eating saloon, and of one Fred.
w. Francis, coHee-house keeper at
Terrebonne Station. These honorable
carpet-baggers escorted his honor in q
barouche to the front gate ofhis beauti-
full residence situated opposite Thib-
odaux, on the left bank of Bayou
Lafourche. About fifty negroes, mostly
women, formed themselves in line
along the road, and gave vent to their
feelings in hearty EXPLANATIONS of ap-
proval.
During the march small cannon,
borrowed from the Democrats for the
occasion, and brass band, composed
exclusively of negroes, announced in
thunder tones to the faithful the arrival
of their standard bearer.
A remarkable incident, and one
which has been the subject of specula-
ton for the last few days in the quiet
town of ThibodauX, is that not a single

In the prairies in the vicinity of
Cow Island there are now ranging
somewhere near five hundred head of
wild horses and mares. There is actu-
ally no sale for them-they are per-
feet drag on the market. Something
ought to be done with them, as they
eat off the range, and leave but little
pasturage for horned cattle, though as
a general thing the cattle are in fine
condition. 1t is the opinion Of those
who know anything about it that
horses eat while sleeping, consequently
they sweep long range. And it is
also known fact that horned cattle
lie down and sleep during the long
hours of the night. A gentleman who
owns large drove of horses informed

often has hope been deferred that we
are annoyed by doubts Of the full frui-
ton of the promises he holds forth in
his manly order. But let no one on
that account cease striving to earn the
good opinion of our rulers, nor abate
one effort to preserve harmony and
obedience to law among all classes OF
the people. Now is the time to prove
to the disbelieving men of the North
that the people of the 9Th military dis
trict have never required riotous or re-
bellious privileges, but simply the en-
forcement of just and humane laws
that they are loyal to the true princf-

they have no hopes outside fraternal

An exciting meeting of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, last Friday
evening, concluded with the with
drawal of the receivers of cotton, and
a rupture which may result in breaking
up the exchange. For years planters
have complained that in addition to
q per cent. commission on sales they
have been compelled to pay one-fourth
per cent. brokerage, charge not made
In any other port and this year the
factors bound themselves by written
agreement to refuse the payment of
that sum to the broker, who receives
In addition one-half per cent. from the
cotton buyer. A proposition in the
exchange to abolish a rule establishing
this brokerage was defeated.
The exchange resolved that the action
of the cotton factors in combining to-
gether TO defeat the payment of one
fourth per cent. brokerage ON sales
meets the hearty Reproduction of the
exchange, and is regarded as discour-
teous and disadvantage to the cotton
business. 1t was adopted by a vote of
GO to 80. A resolution that this meet
ing considers the charge of one-fourth
per cent. brokerage from factors too
firmly established by custom and the
rules of this exchange to be modified
without the consent of the exchange,
was also adopted.
At this juncture the factors rose in a
body, and, one of them remarking,
"Gentlemen, you may add to this dis
order by doing business without a
quorum" all left the room. Those
who remained - consisting of buyers
of cotton and ship brokers - adopted a
resolution condemning any member of
the exchange who will refuse to pay
brokerage, and adjourned.
The cotton receivers, who gathered
in excited groups upon the streets,
declare that they will never again pay
a dino to men who are employed to
cheaper their consignments, and assert
that the payment of this brokerage
would make a difference of zoo, 900
bales in the aggregate receipts Of the
port. The president and superinten-
dent of tho exchange say that if the
conflict continues it will break up the
institution.

An exchange says: ssThree new
cotton factories are being erected in
Asheborn, N. CO. ..4
Monroe has not one; number being
built, none; but we believe that cot
ton factory In this city would pay the
a handsome dividend, and
would at the same time increase the
business of Monroe. Wherever in the
South cotton factories have been erected
we find them constantly busy supply
ing the demand for cloth and cotton
yarns, which are considered superior
to those turned out by Eastern manu-
factories. And why not? We have
the staple here at our doors; have no
need of paying exorbitant freight
charges, COMPRISING and other Incl
dental charges, and can certainly pur-
chase cotton at lower rates, freight
added, than those who live away up in
the New England States. The South
has been too timid; it has depended
upon Northern capital to do what the
people themselves are capable of ac-
complaining by energy, exertion and
industry. Unfortunately we either have
not these qualities, or they have been
abused. The sooner the South devel-
opes its own resources, instead of de-
pending upon others, the better it will
be for all. Southern cotton mills are
constantly busy, and many of them are
running day and night, and then are
incapable of supplying the demand.
Louisiana is behind its sister States
In this industry, but We hope to see it
awaken to a realization of the impor-
lance of such manufactures.
