united State* Circuit Court-Hon. JE. H.
Durell i-residing.
United States vs. Distillery, etc., of W. L.
Catliu.—The rule taken by the United 8tates
District Attorney for a new trial in this case
came on to be heard yesterday, and was dis
missed. This, we presume, disposes of a
case of some considerable importance both
to the government aud the claimant. The
value of the property involved was from
tweuty five to thirty-five thousand dollars,
of the use of which the claimant has been
deprived for nearly a year. The trial was
before an intelligent jury, and occupied
three day's time, every point being sharply
contested by the District Attorney, Mr.
Morgan for the government, and Messrs.
Case and Rouse for the claimant; but at the
close the jury deemed Mr. Catlin's vindica
tion so thorough that they returned a ver
dict iu bis favor, without argument and
without leaving their seat3. When the mo
tion tor a new trial ca:flb up yesterday, His
Honor Judge Durell promptly overruled it,
expressing himself as entirely satisfied with
the verdict of tne jury.
From all we can learn of this case, it would
Eeem pretty clear that it wa3 Mr. Catlin's
aim and design to do an honest business,
and that the ofificers, who doomed it their
duty to seize and prosecute him, were im
posed upon by statements which proved
totally unreliable. We must, therefore,
congratulate the claimant on the result, not
forgetting that this contest to show his in
tt grity has cost him the loss of his capital
aud time for a year, besides heavy court
charges and attorneys' fees. His victory
has ~beeu by no means cheap, and the case
suggests to us that sometimes our revenue
laws operate very severely on the citizen.
When these laws are wilfully violated, we
sav let the offender's purse bleed to the last
drop, if need be, but on the other hand,
wheu au innocent taxpayer suffers, the gov
ernment should make good his loss.
Oi course, the Collector, in this case, de
signed to do only his duty; but he was de
ceived, as the very sharpest official often
will be, and that is no reason why the gov
ernment should permit a citizen to be vic
timized. Our rigid and highly penal reve
nue laws should, at least, provide for "fair
F.lghth District Court
TUi3 new court, created by act of the
Legislature, of March 1G, 1870, was formally
org miz^d yesterday morning iu the Supreme
Court room, with Henry C. Dibble as judge,
Thomas Lynne, clerk, Joshua Corprew,
chief deputy, James D- Houston, aud that
obliging geuileman Joseph D. Taylor, late of
the Sixth District Court, as minute clerk.
Quite a crowd of spectators assimbled to
witness ihe inauguration of the new court,
and a few minutes before eleven o'clock the
i udge ascended the bench. The court was
opened by proclamation from Mr. J. S. D;ck
chief deputy sheriff. The judge then swore
in M r - J. D. Taylor as minute clerk, and
di'-ected to be spread upon the minutes the
copy of the act of the Legislature creating
the court, the judge's commission and the
clerk's appointment.
Judge Dibble theu spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the Bar— Iu entering upon
the dUcharge of tne duties of judge of this
court, it may not be improper tor me to
remark, that I assume the functions of an
offic" which came to mo unsought and,un
expectedly, nevertheless I began my labors
with pleasure and a sense oi pride, for 1
were unworthy of the noble profession which
I choose did I not appreciate the honor of
this position. .
While I am painfully conscious, gentle
men of the bar, that I bring to my office
much of inexperience, I believe that I have
an ea r ne3' desire and a fixed determination
to do the best I can. I shall strive to keep
constantly before me the ideal judge, he
whose reason has mastered his passions and
prejudices, and whose only desire is to be
iust between parties litigant, without know
ing who they are, as related to him or his
The court over which such a judge presides
is surrounded with judicial dignity, end
always commands respect.
The judges iu our country, and the pro
fession, are the conservators of the law and
order. It is for them to make law respected,
or to give the hint and see U trampled
under loot. „,, , „ . _
To you, gentlemen of tho b&f, a must con
slautly look for help to sustain the proprie
ties of this office. I have a right to expect
and demand at your hands constant assist
ance. If I strive with all my power never
to go astray in the law, you must never
seek to lead me astray; your clients have no
right to require this of you.
In conclusion, permit me to say, that if
receive at your hands as Judge of this court,
the same kind consideration which you have
ever shown me as a member of the bar, 1
shall be satisfied.
Motions being in order, Mr. J. R. Beck
with, City Attorney, then moved that the
injunction suit of the Chattanooga Railroad
against the city of New Orleans, originally
filed in the Fifth District Court, be trans
f -rred to this court, and the trial thereof
fixed for the sixth of April. An order to
that cff-ct was entered accordingly.
The Clerk's office of this court is in the
third story of the court, adjoining the
office of the Seventh District Court. Tne

in the Supreme Court room until the city
authorities provide a permanent location,

replied, "I refuse the motion—my reasons

The Rule of the Monk. By Garabaldi.
The title and the name of the author of
the above book are indicative of its con

Italian independence, is well known as an
outspoken man of very decided sentiments.
His ability and sincerity are unquestionable;
but he will find many people reluctant to ac

will deny the correctness of his premises.
He has given to the world a very readable
volume in "The Rule of the Monk."

The following is the message ot the Presi
dent to Congress, in relation to the decline
of American commerce:
T* the Senate and House of Representative*:
In the Executive message of Deoember ft,
1869. to Congress, the importance of taking
steps to revive our decreasing merchant ma
rine was urged, and a special message prom
ised at a future day during the present ses
sion, recommending, more speciflnally plana
to accomplish this result. Now that the
committee of the House of Representatives,
intrusted with the labor of ascertaining tbs
cause of the decline of American commerce,
has completed its work, and submitted a re
port to the Legislative branch of the govern
ment, I deem this a fitting time to execute
that promise. . „
The very able, calm, and exhaustive re
port of the committee points oat the great
wrongs which have produced decline iu oor^a
commerce. It is a national humiliation that™
we are now compelled to pay from twenty
to thirty millions dollars amiually, exclu
sive of passage money, which we should
share with other nations, to foreigners for
doing what should be done by American
owned and American manned vessels. Thin
is a direct drain upon the resources of the
country of just so much money, equal to
casting it into the sea so far as the nation
is concerned. A nation of the vast and ever
increasing interior resources of the United
States, extending as it does from one to the
other of the great oceans of the world, with
an industrions, intelligent, and energetie
population, must one day possess its full
share of the commerce of these oceans, no
matter what its cost.
Delay will only Increase this cost and en
hance the difficulty of attaining the result.
I therefore put in an earnest plea for
early action in this matter in a way to
secure an increase of American commerce.
The advanced period of the year and the
fact that no contract for ship building will
probably be entered into until this question
is settled by Congress, and the further fact
that if there should be much delay all the
large vessels contracted for this year wiU
fail of completion before winter sets in, and
will therefore be carried over another year,
induces me to request your early consider
ation of this subject.
I regard it of such grave importance, an
affecting every interest of the country to no
great an extent, that any method which will
gain the end will secure a rich national bless
ing. This business employs thousands of
workmen in their construction and man
ning. It creates a home market for pro
ducts of the farm and shop. It diminishes
the balance- of trade against the United
States, precisely to the extent of freights
and passage money paid to American ves
sels, and gives the United States a superiori
ty upon the seas of inestimable value in
case of foreign war. Oar navy, at the com
mencement of the late war, consisted of
less than 100 vessels, of about 150,000 tons,
and a force of about 8000 men. We drew
. from the merchant marine, which had cost
S^TSr'if^aiSi thK'&JS
gel8i exce edlng 1,000,000 tons, and about
70,000 men, to aid in the suppression of the
I rebellion. This statement demonstrates the
value of the merchant marine as a means of
uational defense in time of war. The com

my opinion is that subsidies, while they may
be given to specific lines of steamers or
other vessels, should not be exclusively
adopted, but, in addition to subsidies to
every desirable line of ocean traffic in geoe
r al, assistance should be given in an effective
way; and therefore I recommend to your
favorable consideration the two bills pre

Bene fll of Charles Pope.
The popular and talented manager of the
St. Charles Theatre, will have a benefit oa
Monday, on which occasion we expect to
see a full theatre. The programme, et
course includes the appearance of Mr. Pope,
in a popular piece, with other attractions oi
no common character.
Mr. Pope deserves well of the theatre
going people of this city. He has labored
assiduously for years to provide for their
entertainment, and he rarely if ever offer*
them a programme that is not richly worth
their money, and what ia of still greater im
portance, their time. He has had the man
agement of the St. Charles Theatre for two
seasons, during which time he has raised its
character very materially. It is now the
favorite resort of the elite and fashion of New
Orleans, no other place of amusement
standing higher. During the season joat
closing the St. Charles has presented to ita
numerous patrons a great variety of novel
ties, which have amply rewarded those who
have given their time to v-ituess the repre
sentations. When, therefore, Chari 's Pope,
who is mainly to b<-credited with this im
provement, appeals to 'he pa:rons of the
St. Charles for a benefit,• toe result is easily
foreseen. We learn that a goodly number
ot seats have been already sold, but the
genial and humane "P. G.," the good,
