Description

Multiple newspapers report the Bank of New Orleans discontinued business/suspended on Dec. 18 (1867) on account of depression in trade and that it resumed in the ensuing month. No article describes depositor runs or panic withdrawals tied to the suspension. I infer a suspension followed by reopening in January 1868. Dates are taken from newspapers: suspension dated 18 Dec 1867; reopening reported as resumed in the ensuing month (Jan 1868).

Few Orleans Daily Quescent. New Orleans Money Market. CRESCENT OFFICE, No. 94 CAMP STREET, Friday Evening, March 2, 1866. The most prominent feature of the movement in financial circles to-day hasjbeen the decline of fully one per cent. in rates of Gold and Foreign Exchange. Gold opened dull and drooping under advices by telegraph of a decline of nearly two per cent. in the New York market yesterday. Offerings were very heavy throughout, but the demand was of an unusually restricted character, and the operations for the day have been limited to the following amounts at the prices annexed, viz: $5000 at 135;$5000 and $5000 at 1343/4; $20,000 at 134% $1000 and $10,000 at 134 1/2: $5000, $6000 and $17,000 at 1343/5; and $1000, $2000 and $3500 at 134. In Silver the only sale of any importance that transpired was $2000 American halves at 131. We now quote Gold at 134@1341/2, and Silver 130@131 for American coin, and 134@135 for Mexican dollars. Dispatches quoting a slight reaction at New York were received during the day, but failed to check the downward tendency. FOREIGN EXCHANGE has been very flat to-day. The market was more than amply supplied to meet the most general ordinary demand, while the inquiry was at no time much better than nominal, as nearly all the principal buyers still ab. sented themselves from the market, owing to the unfavorable tenor of New York advices. The transactions for the day have been restricted to the following sales, viz.: £500 at 146, £3000 at 1453. £14,000, in four lots, at 145, £6000 at 144)/@145, £1000 and £12,000, the latter taken by a bank, at 1441/2, £5000 at 1441/4 £2000, £2800 and £8000 at 144, and £2500 at 1433. Sales of Francs comprised 20,000f. at 3.883/f. 200,000f., in two lots, at 3.90f., and 100,000f. and 200,000f. at 3.91 1/f. The quotations at the elose of business this evening were: For bank sterling 147, clear bills 1443/1155/2, bill of lading bills 14314@14414, bank francs 3.821/@3.83}4. and outdoor francs 3.871/@3.92)/. DOMESTIC EXCHANGE-The movement in Domestic Exchange to-day has disclosed increased firmness, without developing, however, any quotable variation in rates. The demand at bank for sight checks on the Northern cities was active and general all day, and one of them refused, towards the close, to sell at the ruling figure of the day. Out of doors the supply of private and commercial exhibited but little, if any, increase, and the purchases by banks and bankers have been confined to the annexed trifling amounts, viz: $10,000, $20,000 and $25,000 New York sight, at % # cent. discount, $10,000, Boston do. at 1/2 78 cent. discount, and $20,000 New York and Boston, taken by one bank, at 7 cent. discount; $30,000 three days' sight at 3/2. $10,000 ten days at 2/18, and $15,000 fifteen days at 1 TO cent. discount. We now quote: New York sight at 1/4 73 cent. discount at bank, and F cent. discount out of doors; five and ten days' sight 78 cent. discount; fifteen and twenty days' sight 1@1% P cent. discount; thirty days' sight 11/2 cent. discount; and sixty days' 2 B cent. discount. STOCKS AND BONDS-The movement in securities has been quite limited since our last. The supply of favorite descriptions was light throughout, and the general run, though, as heretofore, abundant, continued neglected. The following embrace the whole of the operations that have come to our notice, via. 9 shares City Railroad Company (old stock) at 195; 50 and 50 shares do. (new stock), reported by two parties, one at 170 and the other at 180; $15,000 City Consolidated Bonds at 90: and $5000 do. at 901/2. UNCURRENT BANK NOTES-There has been a general suspension of operations in the notes of the liquidating banks to-day. Offerings were light from the opening to the close of the market, and the demand was at one time much better than nominal. Sales have been confined to driblets, and we still quote Bank of New Orleans, Crescent City Bank and Union Bank at 88@94c., Merchants' Bank at 77@82c., Louisiana State Bank at 73@76c., and Bank of Louisiana at 55@60c. TO dollar.

STOCKS AND BONDS-There is no material varia- tion of any kind to notice in the movement in se- curities.

New York News. NEW YORK, Nov.14.-A Washington special says: On the meeting of Congress a resolution will be introduced calling for all the information on the subject of the action of Prussia against American citizens. The whole matter will be thoroughly investigated. In the opinion of many prominent gentlemen,our Minister at the seat of the Prussian Government has pursued an ulterior course, highly reprehensible. It is understood that the Government is not particularly well satisfied with his conduct. There are a number of candidates for the vacancy in the Judgeship of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, occasioned by the death of Judge Wilson. Among the number of applicants are Franklin J. Dickinson, F. Backus Sherlock, J. Andrews, and others. The case of the broker, Smithson, against the Secretary of W ar, has gone through all the pleadings, and is now ready to go to a jury. It understood to be a test case, and great interest is felt in the resnlt. Last week 1,000 stand of arms were abstracted from the armory in this city, and are now concealed near New York. This was done while the guards were on duty around it. The United States Marshal and Capt. Shillington hunting up the parties. The cabinet o-day, among other matters, considered the appointment of a successor to Wm. Dart, District Attorndy for northern New York, and Judge Geo. Munger's appointment was determined upon. R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, had an interview with the President this afternoon. He desires to have certain property of his in West Virginia barred from confiscation: but as it has already been under previous decisions of the Federal authorities, there is no doubt their action will be sustained. Within the last few days the President has directed pardons to be issued to the following persons, one of whom sought for pardon under the first exception of the Amnesty Proclrmation, having held a petty office under the Confederacy, and the remainder having applied under the $20,000 clause: Willis Benham, of Georgia; A. Pegram, of La.; K. H. Reynolds, of Arkansas; J. D. Epps, of Mississippi; W.A. Henderson, William Jones and John M. Brown, of Tennessee. The Tribune's St. Louis special says The Conservative canvassers have been induced to throw out all the votes in Clinton county, except those cast in one town, thereby endangering the election of Van Horn. A claim has been made to Knox to count the votes cast after sundown, as the polls had not been closed. If allowed, Blair is defeated; Noell has about 40 majority. In the case of Charles Lockwood against the New York Central Railroad heretofore reported, a verdict for the plaintiff was rendered yesterday, giving him the full amount claimed, which is $25,000. There was a large and enthusiastic Fenian meeting in Temperance Hall last evening. It was addressed by Gen. Spears and Senators Mehan and Morrison. The World's special from Washing ton and New Haven report that there were seen a few meteors last night through powerful observatory telescopes, but there was no great shower any where. The World's Washington special says; The Government has information professing that the Fenians are ready for an immediate invasion of Canada. It is not probable that any action will be taken in the premises, as the news is donbted somewhat. The World's special says: The Bank of Louisiana, which was obliged to suspend during the military occupation of New Orleans, has resumed business. The Herald's Washington special says: It is said that Hon. John A. Bingham, who is preparing articles of impeachment against Mr. Johnson, will charge him with aiding and abetting the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. It is understood that Mr. McCulloch will, in his report, urge upon Congress the necessity for the passage of a law looking towards an early resumption of specie payment. The report will be quite voluminous, and will be one of the most interesting ever issued from that department. Gen. Sickles, commander of the Department of South Carolina, has been The ordered to Washington. precise import of the order not known.

ington Correspondence of the New York Herald, 10th. One House of the Tennessee Legislature has passed a bill loaning $300,000 of State bonds, to the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad Company. During the progress of a ladies fair at Library Hall, Petersburg, on Tuesday night, Mr. George Woody was badly shot in the neck by a pistol which was being carelessly handled by a young man named Leath. At last accounts the bullet had not been extracted. It is difficult to imagine why a young man "or any other man" should be handling a pistol at a ladies' fair. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.-The Lynchburg News learns that a Mr. Cheatwood, from Lewis county, W. Va., committed suicide at Ronsack's in Roanoke county, on Monday morning last, by cutting his throat from ear to ear, death ensuing almost instantly. The deceased was on a visit to his brother, who has resided for a great while at Bonsack's, and whom he had not seen for twenty years. He was a man of family, and separation from them is believed to have been the cause of his self-destruction. NEW ORLEANS BANKS.-We observe that the old banks of New Orleans are making great progress in the work of reconstruction. Three New Orleans banks have never reduced their capitals; the Southern Bank never suspended specie payments; the Union Bank and the Crescent City are expected to resume business at an early day. The Bank of Louisiana, the leading bank in the State, is still some distance in the back ground, but arrangements for its re-establishments are expected. BEAU HICKMAN.-Colonel Hickman authorizes us to deny that he is a native of North Carolina. Like. Henry Clay and Patrick Henry, he was born at the Slashes of Hanover. The Colonel says that it is preposterous for a State that produces nothing but tar and turpentiue to claim the parentage of the greatest financier of theage. North Carolina can tnrn out Badgers, Grahams, and Clingmans, but never a Hickman.Star.

Hem Orleans Money Market. ORRSCERT OFFICE. No. 94 CAMP STREET, I Friday Evening. April 17, 1868. Nothing has transpired since the close of our review of the 14th instant to materially alter 8the condition of the market. Currency has steadily increased at bank and in the bands of private copitalists. Applications for loans and discounts have rapidly diminished, and owing to the scarcity of commercial offerings, onportunities for investment in either Foreign or Domestic Exchange have been of an unusually restricted character throughout. Rates of Money have undergone no change, however, and we still quote 8 P cent. per annum at bank and 1@1} P cent. per month out of doors for short gilt edged paper, and 10@12 * cent. per annum for long dated notes secured by strictly Al city mortgage. GOLD AND SILVER-With 8 more limited demand for shipment to the interior and payment of duties, operations in Gold have disclosed a considerable falling off during the past week. The offering supply was at no time heavy, however, and despite the frequent fluctuation in rates at New York, prices here have been generally well maintained at 11@2} points above those of the former city. Offerings of Silver have exhibited no increase whatever, and the few lots thrown upon the market found buyers at 135¥@136} for American halves and quartersand 142@143 for Mexican dollars. Operations to-day comprised only the annexed amounts, viz: $1000, $2000 and $4000 Gold at 1391. $3000 do. at 1391, $20,000 at 139|@ 139], and $25,000 at 1391. Sales of Silver have been confined to driblets, and we now quote Gold 1394@1394, American Silver coin 136@136}, and Mexican dollars 142@143. FOREIGN EXCHANGE-Owing to an almost total suspension of operations in Cotton for foreign account since the date of our weekly summary, the supply of Commercial Sterling and Francs has been at no time better than nominal. The demand on the part of remitters was correspondingly light, however, and rates have exhibited no alteration till near the close of the week, when they assumed increased firmness. Actual sales to-day are confined to the appended amounts, viz: £500 Al commercial Sterling at 151, £500 bank do. at 153, a small lot of commercial Francs at 3.724, 100,000 do. at 3.75, and 25,000f. bank France at 3.71 f. We now quote bank Sterling at 152@153, clear bills at 151@152, bill of lading bills at 150@151, bank Francsa 3.70@3.67}f., and commercial do. at 3.76.1@3.739f. DOMESTIC EXCHANGE-Inactivity has been the principal feature of the movement under the above heading from the opening to the close of the week. Offerings of commercial sight and short sight have been of an exceedingly restricted character throughout, and although the remittance demand was at no time active or general, quotations have been very firmly maintained both at bank and on the street. Transactions by banks and bankers to-day embraced only the subjoined amounts, viz: $5000 and $10,000 New York sight at 1 % cent. premium; $10,000, $20,000 and $25,000 do. at issued B cent. premium; $40.000 one day's sight and $13,000 three days' at I P cent. premium. We still quote 1 P cent. premium at bank, and 1@l Pcent. premium out of doors, for sight checks on Northern cities. UNCURRENT NOTES AND SECURITIES-There is still considerable incertitude as to the future of City Notes, and notwithstanding the destruction of the plates and the prospect of a speedy withdrawal of some fifty per cent. or more of the notes now outstanding, the public seem to have lost all confidence in them, and the daily offering supply continues largely is excess of the demand. At the same time operations in Louisiana State and Bank of Louisiana notes remain wholly suspended, and the movement in any class of Securities cannot be regarded as better than nominal. The following are the only sales of any kind reported to-day, viz: $5000 and $2000 City Notes at 301 8 cent. discount; $20,000 do. at 30 B cent. discount and 100 shares Canal Bank at $45. SPECIAL DISPATCHES.-We are indebted to the Western Union Telegraph line for copies of the following private dispatches received over that route to-day, viz: New York, April 17-10 A.

Jackson Albert and Michael Fannon, were taken in for their asserted complicity with Little in unlawfully obtaining valuable letters from the postoffice, the particulars of which are not fully in our possession. Little Is now under bonds to appear before Recorder Neville under some offense against the law. A judicial investigation will unravel the rascality, and then our readers shall hear the particulars. LOCAL ITEMS IN BRIEF.-Mr. J. W Mad den says that it does not "now fall on him to fix up and bind the city's notarial records," although he offered to perform the task at very reasonable rates. An express wagon rolls through our streets, which is large enough for a small family to dwell in and have rooms to rent. Producers of strawberries have this year received good returns for their fruit, having in most instances disposed of them to consumers directly in retail. That is the mode, and by it hucksters will be ruled out of an extortionate existence. Judge Duplantier, of the Sixth District Court, has decided that according to the laws of our State the Bank of Louisiana has forfeited its charter, and so declared. Receivers have been appointed for the institution. The order of Seven Wise Men, a secret fraternity of many beauties which originated in this city previous to the war, has gained foothold in most of the large cities of the Union, and Baltimore has more conclaves than New Orleans. The last lodge opened there was named "Sambola Conclave," in compliment to our fellow citizen, Anthony Sambola, Esq. Mi. S. appreciates the distinction, and we believe him fully worthy of that and even better favors at the hands of the order and his friends. Lafayette Carter entered heavy complaints against nine different persons, charging them with awful offenses on Gasquet street. Evidence before Recorder Neville induced the court to discharge them, and fine the Carter $20. Jordan Scott, the freedman who, with his cotton float, ran over and killed the little boy, William Digby, will have an examination on the twenty-sixth instant. Thomas Murray and John Doyle, & long time out of prison, go to the workhouse for three long months on the long charge. Henry K. Nixon makes affidavit that two men spoiled some of his teeth. The law's nippers will be applied on the twenty eighth by Doctor Neville. William O'Rorke, 51 Girod street, don't feel richer for having battered Ellen Moran of the same house. Peace bonds and $10 fine. The case wherein Mary Mandeville, 4 Villere street, accused three individuals with perjury, has been erased from the docket. John Snapper will improve an opportunity to-day to show himself an innocent lamb. George T. Henderson greased the road to the workhouse by stealing a. keg of lard; and Charles Martin, a bird of the same feather, travels the same rough route. Pierre Voiserd and Louis Emile, for picking sombody's pocket in the City Park, have been condemned to the House of Refuge. f It is all very well for the Controlier to call on the Recorders to walk up to the captain's office and settle; but how is it when the captain's office when called on refuses to settle with the Recorders for their (the Judges') salaries? Malone, of the second district, had his hands full yesterday when he arrested Antonio Barroni with a little mule and cart. Antonio is accused of theft, stealing & load of bark from the Old Basin. An inquest was held on the body of William Bennett, found drowned in the new basin. He was fifty years old, and a nat ive of New Jersey. The verdict was "accidentally drowned." Justice of the Peace Courts-engines of heathenish tyranny, where the poor man is ground down even to his last bed, and which $ take away from him his last chair, and the table from which he and his family eats a scanty meal. Reform them altogether.

SMORNING STAR AND CATHOLIC MESSENGER. NEW ORLEANS, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1868. REVIEW OF THE WEEK. Board of Aldermen.-A reconsideration of the market ordinance, to abolish the office of Super_ intendent of Markets, was declared out of order. The resolution of the Lower Board establishing a Drainage Board, was concurred in. A resolution was adopted to have the list of delinquent tax payers published in the Crescent. A resolution of the lower 'Board was concurred in to meet in joint session on Tuesday next to elect city officers. As was likewise a resolution allowing the School Board $2000 for rent. A communication was received from the Property Holders' Association,eprotesting against increasing the debt of the city, and referred. A resolution authorizing an exchange of lots was adopted. Board of Assistant Aldermen.-The Board met Tuesday evening. The Treasurer's weekly report showed, receipts, $517,027 ; expenditures, $29,956; balance on hand $487,071. A resolution from the upper Boar authorizing the Council to appoint a board of engineers to re. port upon a plan for draining the city, was adopted. Resolutions providing for the sale for city notes of the market stalls and wharves were referred. A committee was appointed to confer with the authorities of Jefferson City to fix the boundaries between this parish and Jefferson. An ordinance was considered for the sale of the right of way for a railroad between Canal street and Carrollton Avenue. The Board persisted in its action relative to repairs on levees in the Third District. THE Crry.-The last seven days have not afforded much material for comment. The rain on Wednesday broke in rathor rudely on the enjoyable weather of the preceding days, revealing many spots to which the attention of the Street Commissioner might very properly be directed. To a portion of Common street we can safely attribute a sore throat, brought on by a cold caught in navigating its submerged sidewalks. After a day of dreariness and stagnation, the bright sunshine of Thursday revived the suspended business, and cheerfulness seemed to sit on the countenances of those who treaded the thoroughfares. "Thanksgiving "day" was scarcely noticeable from any other, and were it not for the reference to it in the morning papers, would not be remembered. In the South-at least in Louisiana-the people do not take kindly to these imported observances, smacking, as they appear to think, of Puritan usages. The tradition of their fathers have given sacred sanctions to days which will not readily yield to foreign and self-appointed holidays. THE SCREWMEN'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. The gentlemen composing the above body were prevented from celebrating their eighteenth anniversary on the proper day, owing to the inclemency of the weather ; but the members are composed of stermer stuff than to be thus foiled; so on Thursday they turned out in large numbers, with music and banners, calling forth univer sal praise for the manly, stalworth proportions of those composing the ranks. United for berrevolent purposes, they form an influential part of society, and are capable of effecting a vast amount of good. The board of State canvassers met on Thursday last, and by its estimate of the vote cast at the late election, the Democratic majority is materially reduced, by rejecting the returns from Avoyelles, West Feliciana St. Martin, Franklin, Jefferson. Orleans, St Bernard, Sab ine, St. John the Baptist, Terrebonne and Washington, According to this decision, Menard has been elected for the short term and Sheldon for the long term. This defeats Hunt. We see by the papers that both the grand and petit jurors of the parish of Jefferson are composed of negroes who can neither read nor write. As Chief Justice Chase took the responsibility of setting aside the test oath may we not hope that some independent judge may be found here who will abate this nuisance of juries composed sf ignorant plantation negroes? The joint committee appointed by the last legislature to procure suitable buildings for a State House, have effected an arrangement with the liquidators of the Bank of Louisiana for the lease of the banking house corner of Conti and Royal streets, as well as the adjoin. ing dwelling house, for one year, at $8300, with the privibasing the for 000 any time before

said portion of Canal street, and that another portion of said street was allowed him. In conclusion. Judge Cooley decides as follows: "It is immaterial whether the rights of the parties, under their respective grants by the city, were such as they pretended; the compromise was intended to settle forever their pretensions, if not their actual rights. "The effect of that contract. and the obligations resulting from it, was to prevent McCoard or his assigns from ever deriving any profit from laying a track or running passenger cars over & certain portion of Canal street, to the injury of plaintiffs. He received for this waiver a valuable considera. tion, and it would be against equity and our laws of warranty to permit him or his assigns to acquire a title from the real owner, the city, and employ that title to disturb and injure the plaintiffs, in relation to the enjoyment of those privileges which he had relinquished in their favor for a valuable consideration. The injunction is made perpetaal." A rule was taken to-day upon the commissioners of the Bank of Louisiana, to show cause why they should not receive the bank notes of the bank in payment of indebtedness due to the bank previous to the forfeiture of its charter. It appears that the commissioners of the bank refase to receive the notes of the bank in payment of debts due it previous to the forfeiture of its charter. The plaintiffs in this rule contend that the bank must receive its own obligations in payment of all debts be a great relief to the debtors of the bank in enabling them to pay off their debts at thirty or forty cents on the dollar. The decision of the court upon this rule will be looked for with interest by the debtors of the bank. SEVENTH DISTRICT COURT.-Judge Collens yes. terday rendered & judgment in favor of J. B. Walton & Deslonde against the Carrollton Railroad Company, ordering the transfer to the former of fifty fully paid shares of the capital stock of said railroad, with dividends accrued since October 15, 1867, or in default thereof that said railroad pay them $5000, with legal interest from judicial demand, and costs. RECORDER GASTINEL Nora Maher, drunk and disturbing the peace, was fined $20, or thirty days Parish Prison. E. Buckley, drunk and drawing a razor on the officer, $10, or ten days. Cornelia Ann Yager, disturbing the peace, was fined $20, or twenty days in Parish Prison. Ben Butler and John Lewis, colored, were arrested for stealing from James Jones a silver watch. Butler was discharged and Lewis remanded. Oscar Delhonne, colored, caught stealing a lot of table knives from on board the steamer Celeste, was sent before the First District Court. Jules James, colored, stealing cotton on the levee, was remanded. M. Johnson. colored, stealing a hide from the levee, was sent before the First District Court. Henry Jackson, Victor Nicholas and Elias Evans, colored, charged with pilfering on the levee, were remanded for trial. E. Buerkley, arrested for trying to break open a store on Chartres street, between Bienville and Customhouse streets, was remanded. MILTARY.-Brevet Captain P. H. Moroney, (retired) having been relieved from his assignment as commissary of musters and recruiting officer by orders from the War Department, will immediately turn over all public property in his charge to the proper staff departments and the records of the mustering office to the acting assistant adjutant general, department of Lonisiana. The recruiting funds for which he may be responsible he will deposit to the credit of the treasurer of the United States, with the assistant treasurer at New Orleans in compliance with instructions from the adjutant general's office. First heutenant H. B. Mellen, sixth cavalry, in addition to his other duties has been detailed to recruit men for the cavalry regiments now serving in Texas. A general court martial met yesterday at 10 o'clock, for the trial of such prisoners as might properly be brought before it.

A verdict of not guilty was returned in the case of Auguste Hummel, alias Richard Hummel, accused of assault and battery. FIXTH DISTRICT COURT.-John Henry VS. Bank of Louisiana. Third opposition of Dr. Lambert. The plaintiff having obtained judgment against the defendant and caused the same to be recorded and had some real estate belonging to the bank seized, and was proceeding to sell it when the third opponent intervened and claimed to be paid by preference out of the proceeds of the sale. The plaintiff is a mortgage creditor. and the intervenor and opponent a bill holder. The question which the pleadings present is, as between the plaintiff and intervenor, which should be paid by preference out of the property of the insolvent bank, a mortgage creditor or a bill holder. It is proper here to remark that the answer filed by the commissioners of the bank presents a questionwhich mustbedecided adversely to the pretensions of both the plaintiff and the third opponent. These commissioners urge that no final judgment can be rendered in favor of each of the above claimants, because the bank, having gone Into insolvency, all its assets must be surrendered to the commissioners appointed to liquidate its affairs with the view of a general settlement in concurso of all the creditors. This is quite true, but it does not prevent OM1 eqs JO result Telative the JO 9 creditors before the court.

The question then was whether the commissioners could be forced to receive the circulating notes of the bank in payment of debts due by it. After avery careful examination of the authorities, the several acts of 1842 and 1843 in relation to the banks which had forfeited their charters by the suspension of specie payment, and the interpretation given. to these statutes by our Supreme Court, came to the conclusion the commissioners were bound to accept the bills of the bank in pay. the JO emp the 18 # 01 enp debtis 10 $0000 of its charter.

THE COURTS. Seventh District Court. Frederick Mundez vs. Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines.-Plaintiff brought suit to recover $160 in money and a note for $200, given by him for a quit claim deed from defendant to a lot of ground within the limits of the 1920 toises of land lately claimed by Mrs. Gaines, below Canal street, in this city. By consent of both parties, Judge Colleus has made a decree in the case, under which the defendant returns the money and the note, and the quit claim deed is annulled. the plaintiff paying costs. Dirrhammer and Kennard, of counsel, for plaintiff. E. E. Norton, official assignee of C. S. Hayes, vs. John S. Simonds.-This suit was for $25,000, the estimated value of the steamer Starlight, the property of the bankrupt, Hays, which it is alleged he adtransferred to the defendant, to the prejudice of his creditors. Defendant filed peremptory exceptions, stating that Norton was not the legally appointed assignee; that this court has no jurisdiction, and that Norton does not bring the suit for the benefit of the creditors of Hayes, they having released all their claims against him. Judge Collens yesterday rendered & decision in the case, to the effect: 1. That an assignee may sue in & State court to recover the debts due and property belonging to a bankrupt. 2. That the two years' prescription determined by the second section of the bankrupt act, runs from the day the assignee 18 appointed, if the cause of action has previously existed, or from the date when the the cause of action arises, if it arises after appointment. 3. The limitation of four months and of six months, in the thirty-fifth section, apply to transactions which, though fraudulent, intended by the contracting parties to be are real and to be carried into execution; but they do not apply to mere simulations contrived only to create a false appearance of title. It is the same distinction that exists in the civil law between the revocatory action and the declaration of simulation. One is prescribed and the other is not. 4. The assignee represents the bankrupt and is vested with all the bankrupt's rights of action, etc.; but he also represents the creditors and exercises their rights of action to subject the bankrupt's property illegally held or covered by third persons, to the payment of their demands. Exceptions overruled, reserving to the defendant the right of pleading anew the limitation of six and four months npon the merits, should the facts present/a case of fraud instead of mere simulation. Sixth District Court-An Eighth District Court Case State ex rel. William Durbridge VS. F.J.

THE COURTS. United States District Court-Judge De rell Prealding-Bank of Louisiaua in Bankruptey. In this case a motion was made yesterday by Campbell, Spofford & Campbell and Messrs. Cooley & Phillips, counsel of the commissioners of the Bank, asking that all orders or proceedings had in this case since the granting of the appeal by Judge Swayne, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. be rescinded until the hearing in the Supreme Court on the appeal. The motion was ordered to be set for hearing this morning at eleven o'clock. A. C. Twining VS. Bojac and Girardey.This is a suit brought by Professor Twining, of Yale College, New Haven, Coninecticut, against Bujac and Girardey, of this city, claiming damages to the amount of two hundred thousand dollars for making and using machines substantially according to le ters patent granted to the plaintiff for an improvement in the manufacture of ice; and for further damages claimed to amount to one hundred thousand dollars for profits unlawfully realized by them by vending to others for use the process and invention described in paid letters patent. Defendants' answer sets forth that plaintiff was not the original and first inventor of said process, and denies the novelty of the invention secured by the letters patent referred to. The trial of this case commenced yesterday, and develops already very many points of chemical and mechanical interest. The defendants have manufactured and sold machines under the French patents of Carre and Mignon & Rouart, and have vended to others the rights of using these patents. The plaintiff introduced evidence to show that defendants have already realized large sums from their alleged infringement, and also the evidence of Professor St. John, of the College of Physicians and Surgeous of New York city, and that of President Barnard, of Columbia College, New York, tending to show that the last named patents (Carre and Mignon & Rouart), of 1860 and 1865 in this country, are obvious infringements of the plaintiff's American patent of 1853. The plaintift's individual testimony concerning the origination and development of his own plan; that of Professor St. John, who saw its working at Cleveland, Ohio, where the first results were produced under it; and that of President Barnard, who speaks of the relative working of the principles of plaintiff's and defendants' inventions, after having seen the latter in full and successful operation at the late Paria Exposition-are peculiarly interesting to all scientific persons, as well as to residents of our city, where the daily use of manufactured ice has become a necessity of existence. The taking of testimony was continued yesterday, and the further consideration of the case postponed until such time as the counsel for the parties may agree on. A. B. Long, and Billings & Hughes are attorneys for plaintiff, and Johnson & Denis, of this city, and George Harding, of Philadelphia, for defendants. The Mottos to Suspend Sheriff Maxwell from Office-The Difficulty settled, Richart Vs. Lewis Lane et al -In this case, yesterday, Judge Cooley, of the Sixth District Court, made an order, ex proprio motu, dismissing the rule for contempt against Sheriff Maxwell and Chief Deputy Sheriff Joseph F. Dick, which had been taken the day before in the the matter of the suit of William Richart VS. Lewis Lane et al., reported by us yesterday. This little "Alreup," which has created considerable excitement in the precincts of the courts, is now, happily, at an end.
