AN lawS cosRCTRD
The Delta of yesterday morning contained an
arteolo uder the oaptio of "The Lust Soene"
pefrring to the conoluelon of tbe Bell and
e-a-do is tally etýoridlnary fp
a atqea, an he Prlandeal Impre I on
o ohave W si read a artlol~cn
length so r9tiete wit ninhrepren
asd IN .uoh at'varlanoe with fato at
they tranhtre~d, and the opinion of gentlemen
who were present from the beginning until the
ls o3the trial. Of aoeur we do not impuga
the.aotitee of h writer. That is not our pro
inoe. But itfr{ idioe and partiality did not
*ari i td I le did not draw upon
'.hih to~nIJ o faots which had no existence
d saieo, then We ate unable to credit the
etidenoes which we both saw and heard, and
which can le corroborated and proved by hun
dreds, if neoessary.
Our ootemporary starts out in the most in
sammatory manner, and concludes the first
paragraph of his article by averring that Judge
Robertsen's life was threhtened ! Now, here we
take issue with the Delta. It must substantiate
Its charge by respeotable testimony, or else the
allegation and the entire argument which fol
lows, falls to the ground. We maintain that the
obarge and the rgument are alike unfounded
haes not the elightest warrant in truth--and
hat both do a cruel wrong to a party and to
four or Are hundred gentlemen who were in and
about theoourt-house on Saturday night, which
can only be repairedby a fll, frank and manly
retractio.
,Thq )jespespakof a "ra&bble" anda"a"ob,"
aes, just u though there had been a "rabble"
iadA a mob." We can only account for the
hilleinlatita which led to so wanton a perver
*l6a of truth on the ground that perturbed
colelenbes, like diseased physical systems, fre
quently bring about astonishing delusions.
The writer of this happened to be present
daring the proecedings which were had in the
First District Court from dark until about 12
oclock. There was no mob. There was no rab
bin, There were no indications of a riot. There
wes nothing, whatever, which menaced the
deeorum st, a judical tribunal for which the
large u crowd of gentlemen in attendance were
in thesslaidlest psiaticular responsible. There
was no extraordinary, interruption of the pro
eedings of the court, and no unusual occur
renes outside the sphereof those which usually
attend the progress and determination of an
exciting cause. The Judge was as safe on his
bench as though he had been guarded by ten
thousand bayonets, and we did not see a man
anal we are tolerably well posted-who would
not have maintained the dignity of the court
end protected the person of the Judge, had
,there been any occasion, to the extremest haz
ard known to mortal man. Why ? Nineteen
twentieths of the persons present were Ameri
apsa-a vast majority were men of character
end responsibility-gentlemen who could give,
perhaps, as good n warrant for decenoy and
loyalty to law, as our neighbors. To stig
matize such an assemblage as a " rabble," as
a ' mob," and as threatening the life of the
Judge, it strikes us, is wholly unjustifiable.
And we deeply and sincerely regret that it has
been done, no matter if the wrong has been
p.rpetalred unwittingly and innocently. Still
it ha beaen done, and a conviction of injustice
always rankles.
Here re 'might pause and defend Randell
Hunt from the imputations put upon him. But
this is not necessary. Mr. Hunt is too well
known to the public of Louisiana to need defence
uidr' seoob circomstances. HBe never appeals
tq the "worst passions." He is no "Marat,"
and he nevr speaks to the "rabble." Were he
inch a man, his ability, genius and eloquence,
would'have long since placed him on the summit
of political distinction and power.
But the Deltia, not satisfed with what we
haveseferred to, must needs get up a melo-dra.
matio scene, of which there is no knowledge on
the part of those said to have been engaged in
i! This fi the funniest part of the business.
We quote from the Delta's romance, just after
the jury had brought in their verdict, which
was unquestonably as honest a verdict-as true
to'law and evidence-as was ever rendered.
Says our ootemporary:
Meanwhile Judge Robertson had arranged his
documents, placed his books in a safe place, and
was preparing to go quietly home, when Mr.
Hufty esn svervral of the Deputy Sheriffs rushed
in and entreated him to remain where he was,
ag he would be shot if he left the court-room,
even for a moment. A conversetion took place
between the parties, something to this effect :
Judge Robertson: I am consolous of having
done no wrong, or rather of having done my
duty impartially and without prejudice; why,
therefore, should I fear any violence from my
"-llowreitiona 1
Jlfr. Hstfti: But you will be killed; the
orowd is furious; do not trust yourself amongst
them, they will strikeyou down without sornple.
Judge Robertson: But I cannot remain here
lln ht; I am weary and must go home. Be
side, I will not be intimidated by any mob, let
it howl asit will.
QAfr. Iefty: Be patient, and we will form a
guord; we will escort you home.
The soasettyof water on the Desert of Sahara
e knowin to'be remarkable. Every schoolboy
will verify that fact. But if there is not mpre
water on the Desert than there is truth in the
fo.egoing extract, then it is the worst watered
qtuntry on the surface of the globe.
To substantiate this proposition we submit
te followlog from F. Bogligny, Esq., Keeper of
the Court-House, who speaks knowingly and
from actual observation:
iin.tg seen Ih the dully "Delta," of thi morning, a
btleepre PectP eotagto he a deorlptlonof wrhut tok
plenls the frt Distredt Court on Saturday bnight after
the verdict of the Jury Ia the Bell and HRutty ease. au.d
aIter the Court haddjouned, I feel myself bound to
tate the Ateeua tltoy u they occurred.
temmdi hlyateb the adjoarnment ofthe Court, Judge
Robertson reo and war •rnglling hie papers, when I salt
to hhne •de, yoh bdetter remain awhile, until the
od l dsemed." I then walked out into the peuage
-d slue.e. . the crowdto disperse or retre mlt woo
laean I'weted to lock up the sates. Ithe returned
into thebo•uet-reom aed met the Jdgle at the dour, ad
advlied hbin ein to remanl awhile longer, for there was
eeeh aeerwd to the ap.ege that It would he dIfficult for
e-yme toper through It ; thatthey wee about retirlng.
At that moment Mr. Duquereron. one of the Jurors, mod
Mr. Joe. Solomon, come to and offered to aoompeauy the
Judge end tendered him thelr company. At this time

1t. BOUL ONY, Keeper Court-Rous *
N.ew Qteane, December 17, 155.
The foregoing statement needs no comment,
and we shall make none. We will only add
that Col. Hofty-although he escorted the
Judge to near his residence, as he was in duty
bound to do, both as Sheriff elect and as a clever
gentleman-pronounees the dialogue given in
the Delta to be wholly unwarranted by any
thing that transpired.
Bermuda papers publish an account of an ex
citing race between the Bermudian bark Pearl,
Capt. Hutchinge, and the American bark Mar
aval, Capt. Ward, both of which vessels left
New York in company for Bermuda, on the 16th
alt. TheTormer was, it appears, more deeply
laden than her antagonist and had a deck load
oa cattle, but nevertheless managed to outsail
the latter several hours. Both made the pas.
sage from New York in the unprecedented time
of three days. Large bets were offered in New
York, prior to their leaIrng, that the American
would lick the Brmudiana.
The St. Louis Intelligencer of the 10th an
nounoes that it will henceforth devote itself to
the intereste of the American 'party. The Ia
telligenor, we have no doubt, will prove a
aurdy champion In the cause.
AMERICAN HUMOR.
As every individual is endowed with some peo.sllar style
and quality of intellect-with some log.lo wit or other
mental quafllieatio, not poes5ed b' any other-so, it
seems, that nations share in this eneral allotment and
sare ota 'by lirt*eof itltelotual oharaote otloe, .u
thong, not shrongor, that those which ae pdsonal.
(bs p alardenjoys a heritege of wit thbt deals in
prsperbs, saws hd mustysayings; the Irisheuan has s
oapoilty for repartee, blls and double entendre ; the
Englishman is notable for a kind of blunder peouliar to
himself; the Amerioan, for a style of exaggerated antith
esis that has no prototype in what is either anoient or
modern.
Ilueeortiona s of the facetie of these different kinds will
readily aeccommodate themselves to the memories of all.
The story-books aoe full of them. The Joe Millers and
Crookett alsomana of the age are illustrated by them.
Tuorn which way.oever the reader may, he is grounded
by some evidence and proof of the truthfulness of our
assertion. We oan obh of us recall a thousand exempll.
festione of the rule-a thousand proofs of the truthful
noes of the statement-every one legitimate and natural.
In the whole cataloguehowever, t will be dialoult to fnd
anything so riohly and originally humorous-so pero.
liaty funny-so strangely mirthful-as what comes under
the ad of Amerioen humor. It to hes the borders o
all the other kinds, fringes their domains, but oeeuples a
territory of its own, unquestioned and not to be contra.
dieted. The laughter-provokhn g principle, that lives t.
everything humorous and tmusiog, here works itself out
in a novel style-by a hyperbole and complioation of is.
possibilities, never before attempted or dreamed of. The
nsarest approximation to be found is in the plays of
Sophooles, where a sort of Davy Oroakett conversation,
between Zeus and the other immortals, is carried on 'till
even the gods are tired and the goddesses are compelled
to alshe their smilen in sles.
Probably our philosophers of pyonhology oould explain
bow it happens that one man adse food for mirthin a
nubjeot immediately exhumed from the grave, or a cause
for laughter in some topic tonehiag him home to the very
heart. Most of us are able, more or laless lerly, to state
the anmes of eanhination when another biped falls over
an orange peel, and, falling, leaves behind him a memors
ble memorial in the shape of a rent reaching half way
from his heels to his head, a poteriori. But neither the
one nor the other has a sufllioent rattoination to explain
the manifold mysteries that make mirth a consequent
upon the falling together of two simple words, whose only
tie i in their sumeness and equality of sound.
To undertake this hitherto enaccompllshed task would
be to dare the warnings of Horase and try lonian wlngs.
Oar objiet wan only to raise the subject before the minds
of others-and then leave its solution to better judg.
means; to start before the world of writers a theme
worthy of their steel, and behold the contest from afar.
Oan any genius of metaphysics unfold to es the anuse
and philosophy of that humor, wit, merriment-by what.
nme-eosver It panes-that passes as American wit? Can
y one ntel s what is the laughable subjeot-matter in a
man's being so tall that he has to climb a ladder to shave
himelf, or so crooked that he must have three barrels in
ted In order to sleep ?: It is said to be the contradiotion
of ideas--but a stranger and stronger contradiction may
be found in what oeours every day, without provoking
the risibles of the most mirthful. We all laugh-but
how few of us can tell why. It is because we are merry:
what produces the merriment, and why should the merrl
mest unse laughter ? Most of all, what is the morrl
meat-matter that makes our American humor so notable,
sopeuliar and so prominent ? Leigh Hunt's philosophy
does not sufioliently discourse to this ecd.
AMUSEMIIENTS LAST EVENING.
ST. CHARLES THEATER.--The bill at the St.
Charles last evening was of much more than common
intarest, and much more than common excellence. The
house was very well tilled to see Mr. Hackett's Fsta·Lf, in
"King Henry IV," and to hear Miss Macarthy in the
burletta of ' Jenny Lind."
Concerning the play, in its leading parts, we have little
but commendation to express. In the acting of Mr.
Hackett there was a rich, oily and abundant merriment
that brought out the spirit of the impersonation most
natnrally and olearly. It was "honest Jack Falstaff."
and no one else, from the commencement to the
conclusion; him, in the mad freaks, in the strange
philosophy, in the .overflow of animal spirits and
the creeping of fesh when danger came too near.
The port, character and person-so far as amyth and
fable can be personated-were up to the conceptions we
have allof us formed of that brightest and most humor.
one Bhakeperianism. The pieceo too, was well mounted
and well dressed. Some fault might be found with sub
ordinate characters but none with the chief and most
prominent. It is only justice to add that Mark Smith's
Earl of Worcestr, the Prince of Wales by Wright, and the
very excellent Francis of Vicing Bowers accooorded most
happily and harmoniously cbth the leading character.
The amusements closed with the laughable burletta of
" Jenny Lind," in which MiM haoarthy sang and danced
through thepart of Jenn., LeatherliLngs to the highest
gratiication of all present. Possessing an exceedingly
rich, clear and rinogling volee, and a spirit that harmon
iees completely with the fun and frolic of the piece, she
called down the house, not once, but a dozen times, and
received such very marked applause as is bestowed only
on real merit. With a vivid recollection of Mrs. How
ard's brilliant performance of the same character, we
have no hesitation-and the audience of last night will
endorse us-in saying, that Miss Macarthy is by far her
superior. Coming among us, as she did, comparatively
unheralded, in one week's time she has established her
position as the most pyasing actress, in her line, we have
over had in New Orleisa.
GAnTY THn.oE n.-There were not no many
in attendance at the Gaiety last evening as on evenings
previous, 4lthough the "Old Guard," .'John Dobbs,' .A
Lover by Proxy," and "Leg Hut Life" made up the bill.
Mr. Fred. ... Thayer, as John Ddl.O. playing with Miss
MoLean as Mrs. Ch.el rton-very different from Tir. Chat
terion in the "Morning Cali"-cacried the farce very
smoothly and excellently on to its amusing termination.
We have long ago expressed our favorable opinion of Mr.
Thayer's abilitie, and are happy to see that time ripens
the earlier promise, and that our much-abusnd city can
claim the production of at least one light comedian who
anderstanda the requirements of genteel comedy, and does
not constantly confound it with farce.
By the way, we have heard very high commendations
of Miss McLean se a songstress in other cities. If the
commendation was correct, it is somewhat singular that
there has been no display or evidence of it here. It Is
true that there have been no parts assigned to her in which
this talent could be well manifested, but we should think
thah the interests of the house would induce the manager
to produce something of a mueloal character, if he wishes,
as he assuredly must, to develop the best abilities of his
company. It may be our information was incorrect; If
so, silence will give consent to the supposition, and we
shall be deoelved in some of the pleasant anticipations we
had formed.
PEnL'eS SourItaN OPEiR Houss,-There was
another of those large and enthusiastic audiences at the
Armory Half last evening which seem to have become in
separable to the concertsof the Campbells. The different
songs and the whole catalogue of performances, met with
a very hearty reception-the songs of Mr. Farrenberg
drawing unlimited applause. The programme at the
Armnery i so constantly changed that novelty is the sure
eseelt, and the execution so uniformly excellent that
pleasure in a aure consequent. We can cordially recom
mend all who are laboring under menui, or who wish a
little pleasant recreation, to pay a visit to the Southern
Opera Hole.
AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING.
ORLnFaNS THEATER.-Donizetti's grand opera
of" Lucia di Lammermoor."
GAIETY THEATER.-"The Hypocrite," "Poor
Pilliooddy," and "Log Hut Life.''
ST. CeoARLE THEATER.-The 'Kentuckian,"
with Mr. Hackett as Col. tNimrai Wiidfi.e; 'His Last
Legs," and"Jenny Lind."
PEEL'S SOUTHERN OPERA oIIoUE.--80ngs, dances
and burlesques, by the Campbell Minstrels.
VANNUCHi's MUSEUM.-Wax statuary and cos
moramu, at 107 St. Charles street.
FRANKLL McMUSEUM.-Statuary, reptiles, etc.,
at 106 St. Charles street.
BTrrH's AMERICAN CIRCUS.-A grand display
of equestrianism at the corner of Poydras and Baronne
steets.
In the [library of the British Museum may
be seen a book, printed in the Low Dutch, con
taining upwards of sixty specimens of paper,
made of different articles, the result of one
man's experiments as early as 1772. In the
manufacture of paper almost every species of
tough ibrous vegetable, and even animal sub
stances, have at one time or another been em
ployed. The roots of trees, their bark, the vine
of hops, the tendrils of the vine, the stalks of
the nettle, the common thistle, the stem of the
hollyhock, the sugar cane, cabbage stalks,
wood-shavings, saw-dust, hay, straw, willow,
and the like, have all been used, says Herring,
in his work on ancient and modern paper-mak
ing, in the manufacture of paper.
THREE STEAMBOATs BUOLeD re ST. LOUIS.-
The three steamboats burned at the St. Louis
wharf, on the night of the 7th, were the Par.
thenia, the Prairie City and Cthe Twin City.
The fire commenced on the former. The loss
was estimated at $100,000.
Cnoserr Orc, No. 70 Camp street,
Molnay Evening, Dec. 17, 1855. 5
Business was much impeded today by the weather;
the storm of rMn and drlsute which commenced on Fri
day list, continued this forenoon, causing great retarda
tio in h business on the Levee, which is generally so very
brisk on Meday, preventing the discharging of the mam
moth loads of cotton whloh have arrived during the past
twenty-four hours. Moreover, its eRfeote were prceivable
on those useful members of the body financial, those in
termediate gentlemen, the note, exchange and money
brokers, whose numerous complalnts of the dull state of
trade indicate that there was but little paper, only few
bills and a goodsupply of money. It wa, however, dls
eernable that buyers were enhancing their pretensions
and holders of paper deelining to accade tb higher rates
than those of last week, and under thin position the mar
het cloed, with hardly sales aesfient to make a quoa-.
tion.
The weekly bank statement shows an increase in all

The increase of loans and discounts is only conformable
to the natural laws of trade, demanded by a general in
orase of the ame. It will be observed the Banks have
all been extremely liberal in Exchange, operations having
at this time 82,690,247 In excess of the amount at
tme period in185. We also anne a comparative state
ment of the Banks, aggregately for the 16th December,
1894, and the present year, by which it will be perceived
the deposit line is nearly three millions of dollars at this
time above the corresponding time in 1854, and the short
loan line within $11,000 of a million of dollars less, and
the gross loans $739,283. Taking our Bank returns as a
guide there is no falling off in the general business of our
city. If we take the Bank deposits as a criterion, we shall
have the pleasure of boting of a great increse, though
this increase may nrise from the early receipts of cotton
and the unemployed balancesin the hands of cotton fa.
tors ; and it is reasonable to presume that the high prices
of Western products have augmented the resources of
Western merchants.
There was but little done in Exchange to-day. The

The Northeron mal failed again to-day. From the
Mobile Advertiser of the 16th lost.o, we take the following
remarks on that market:
The fair degree of activity noticed a week ago eon
tinues, there being a good fall business in the provision
and grocery markets. Cotton comes in quite liberally, as
will be seen by the table of receipts, and the market for
the article has been quite aniumated, prices having reo
ceded to 7 to 6o for middlings, with sales of 2i 000 bales
for the weeo. In prices of produce fewer changes have
taken place. Western cheoese, star candes and utoer
have gone up a little, and flour and whisky are a stade
lower than when we wrote our last review. ltecolpto of
the various articles keep pace with-the demand, and
stocks. though ample, may not upoo the whole be con
sidered heavy. Our shipping list has been lrgely ion.
toeaedhby recenot arrivrals. and other veoels areodaily
expected,. which will swell tie list contiderably. Our
Freight market has been active, and ma9ters are firm.
We had very pleaant weather early in the week. though
yesterday aod Thursday were cloudy days. a heavy
shower of rain failing on the former. wtich we venture to
hope may place our rivers again to a navigable codotion.
Exc.n-oot .-Foreoig bills have advanced , por ceat.
during the week, and with a tolerably active droand, the
market closes firm at the rates annexed :

The Sugar Crop of 1854 and 1855.
Ed. Crescent : As a matter of interest to your read
ers, producers and oconsumeras of sugar--the protduct of
Louisiana-I have prepared the following table, exhibit.
lug, in a comparative form. the crops of sugar of my im
media te vicinity for the years 1.s54 aad 1855. The dati,
for crop of 184l is drawn from Champanior's report. and
that of 1855 is from the pluanters. I give only the crops
made on thelleft side of Lafourche. from Nupoleonvtlle to
the lower line of the parish of AesumUption, an extent of
near ten miles :

The sugar maklngis so nearly over that no materia0
variation from the above estimate of crops of the year
cat occur. Buyers may make up their minds to pay
much higher prioes than the present, The planters are
aware of the genera al faling off in yield, and will hold on
for a material advance.
The cros incoluded In the table above, are a fair aver
age of the Lafourohe crops. The falling off is about 46
per ,cent. This will, nodoubt, be general throughout the
State. From every quarter we have Oaccounts of a bad
yield. The past season has been the most unfavorable I
haveexperie.ed in sixteten year' planting. The quan
tity of cane, planted, owing to defectivero plantso, was muh
tuts than usualo, and the rattoons came very badly, andin
some eases, perished for want of moisture the last win.
ter, spring anod summer. Every one. owing to these
causes, was necessarily compelled to put up largely for
pllanting the eoming year.
In addition to this, the freeze in Oatber sauaed the
plautters of Rapidsa, and other of the upper parishes, to
wrind-row their oane; and the succeeding warm. rainy
weather, eaused the ane to spoil to suoh an extent as to
prevent granulation of the oane jose.
f the sugar planters of Louisiana eare not demented,
they will hold on to their crops and not cootinue to glut
the New Orleans market. They may Trep upon being
visited by the Knights of the Oimblet in a very rhort
time. A UtoaR PLoaTER.
