New Orleans States, regarding the failure Of
| the judges 10 award the FIRST prize in the late
Nashville drill TO the Crescents, were brought
TO the attention of Maj. Eastman, who had
the whole matter In charge, aad he defends
the judges in vigorous lauguags. He states
that the opinion OF the judges was Endorsed
by all who saw the drill, and the story that
the tally-sheets have been destroyed is false.
| A crowd of desperate hoodlums iufest
! Fort Pickering and make night hideous with
their beaetly orgies. They belong to the
same gang az that of which the Curtis
brothsrs, who beat up man with hand

| Schuler's saloon night before last several Of
them engaged in a drunken row, and one OF

neck and head. One of his fingers was bitten
nearly of.
-"Playing for drinks" said the Boss of

witness who was prefacing a story of how a
raw begun. "Yes, playing for de drink

The Police Attorney General and his
"pard" had little "spat atwixt 'em" yester-
day morning previous TO court hours, which
might have come to blows but for the inter.
ventiou OF a mutual friend. The latter ap-
peared in fu j suit of new togs, which the
former criticised rather slightingly, conclud-
ing, "But for me, sir, you would have starved
10 death long ago-you use my time and tai.
EMS to your own selfish purposes, and"
The "pari" interrupted his vilifer with,
"Yh, and / might have used yer reputa
shin but for the chance OF getting in Jail"

of that law firm.
The Police Attorney General had the
day all TO himself at yesterday morniug'
sitting Of the Court-hls "pard" being alb
sent on other official duties. In a case in
which 8 semi casionsl practitioner was on
the opposite side the little general had TO re.
sort to strategic privileges to meet a forcibl'
argument. He said that the speech of his op
ponent reminded him of war between th,
animals in the menagerie-the elephan
made the loudest noise and strutted abou
the arena with the most terrifying tread, bu
did the leas. fighting. The Court was cap
tured, and the Wind knocked out of the sail
of the prosecution.

upon as an unwarrantable outrage. Yester
day evening q knife was thrust nearl
through the bare loot of q newsboy by som

was rendered nearly frantic with pain, tn
blood streaming from his foot as be hoppe
about the pavement. Officer Cullen arreste
