The last named was willing, and advanced $3, which sum Labarge accepted and started oft to get the bill changed, but he failed to appear until a policeman pulled him. Benjamin Schneider got seriously mud died in the latter part ot April, losing his money and his equilibrium at some in definite point. He thinks that he was knocked down once or twice, but is not sure as to who trotted him through. When his scattered senses were gathered George Musgrove and E. T. Whitney were stand ing near; then Benjamin put a finger into his mouth and whistled so shrilly that a policeman came out of a trap door and nabbed all three.

A deputy marshal from Florida is here and . will take accused back for trial. Hazen says be is glad to return. Running Down Celestials.— Three pig tail Johonve were yesterday before Com missioner Weller; as to their names, that is no matter, especially as we have no Chi neese type. They had not been stealing, robbing, or murderiDg, but they had sold half a dollar's worth of cigars withont pay ing a small fortune (to them) for license. One of these had paid for a license, bat because of some informality, which was not his fault, he was condemned as a felon. Had tbe unfortunates aotually committed a felony they would not have been cast into prison any quicker than they were.

Laura Josephs had cause, real or imagin ary. to be jealous of her Joseph Samuel, and to give a fair vent to her feelings jabbed a knife blade into his breast when she met him at the corner of Bienville and Rampart streets. Both were arrested, but Judge fetaes dismissed tbe man; tbe virago was remanded, glorying in tbe fact that she had ebed her former lover's blood.

I merely desire to say a few words in reply toBB, and.asfar aslamoonoerned,endthe matter. It would have been well if BB X ?^^**** before ao came out with euob an announcement as ' BB plus Y equals B 2 ." BB, like 1, seems to overlook the fact that a , ------------ I "*® special columns for births in 1874 and for all over six years of age leads to the inference «w j ? ' ,*V 6 that all under are to be excluded, | Again, I ask why the births of 1874, with a ' * I * number of the most experienced etatis foot note, so that we don't overlook it? The faot is the whole thing is designed to perplex, and is not well calculated to draw out tbe information its sponsors seem desirous of getting. If, m we are told, the census blank had "the members of thd Board of Health and I tioians of the city" for its parents the ooor I ■ , ... parents, uie poor th,D * » b « Pi«ed. It reminds one of tbe , , I o d "dage about tbe cooks and the broth. I Marshal Packard could have furnished one «• «"»ld U.iwt SlatMbUnks. tk., „i s h. ha ™ r ® ndere d »cme service. I All that the law requires is on enumera I tion of the total popnlation. That being zrss* * ,b r, —St • My original complaint was that it did not seem to me that the blank was pro- , st* ,v that end. I still think so. It must be I . borne m mind that there is a vast differ wo. mo.* b,..k. P.OP,,-. I houses for, them to fill up aud sending around an intelligent officer to take down the facts. The people who know that BB plus Y equals B* are not numerous. Registration records of this State shows a large number who can not write or even read. How are they to fill up the blank or know what to do with it? It has been usual with governments when taking a census of the people to gather a mass of information alike valuable to the legislator, the statesman, the statistician and the public at large, while the additional cost is but trifling. Evidently no snch views ever entered the model ot BB, for says he: The primary object of the census being to make it the basis of an apportumment ot representation in the Gsneral Assembly of the State, it would be interesting to know I what bearing, the number of married and single, has upon the end to be attained. Upon the same principle I might reply, "it would be interesting to know what bearing the sex, age. color and ability to write has upon the end to be attained." Even the Board of Health, with the aid of the most experienced statisticians of the city, would be puzzled to know what bearing the knowledge of who has had tbe yellow fever has upon tbe apportionment of the repre sentation in tbe General Assembly. Does a man or woman who has hail the yellow fever count for more or less than a. unit in the general enumeration of the people? Now let all the rest of the letters of the alphabet reply. But don't all speak at B. oLce. B. Meteorological Report. O/Fil'K MKTKOKOLOeiCAI. OhSUUVHK, New Orleans, Ma.v II, 1875. The following is the report of the weather Placvs. Tber. Wind.

Commolion in the Whisky Ring. Bays a Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune: Tbe attempts to discredit tbe statements in these dispatches relative to the discovery of an extensive system of illicit distillation will be unsuccessful. Further details can not now be given, on account of tbe secrecy necessary to the suocess of the operations I of the Treasury Department, but tbe state I ments of these dispatches have been true, | and were derived from tbe highest sources. [ The investigation has not been limited to a I lew men, but has been ooudueted by a large - - * - number of confidential agents in all parts of the country. It can also be authorita tively stated that Commissioner Douglass was removed lor lax administration. It come to the kn iwledsre of Secretary Bris tow some time since that a large number of charges of fraud in specific cases were tile iu the uffisie ol the commissioner ot nternal revenue, and were not acted upon. The Secretary, w ithout the knowledge of the commissioner, made :i personal e\a ruina tion ot theac oases, and became convinced that there wja no excuse for having liieui pigeon-holed. Accordingly tho matter w**s brought to tiie attention*©!' the President, w ho decided upon a change. The change was deter mined upon flie last of March, but the arrangement for the succession was cop iaily completed. Commissioner Douglass had request.-d thei lie might be permitted to remain in office until the eiose 01 the present fiscal year, ending June.39. This request lias been denied, and fie will i>e compelled to retire upou the arrival of his successor. Pratt is expected here about May 15.

To the City Council of New Orleans: I have the honor to inform you that in ..$1069 00 I 1Pave ., the b .° 1 no £ to " form Y»u that in j l conformity with the restraining order from the Superior District Court, issued in the . „ , I name of the State against the city of New I *"■"*' a "d served upon the city admin I for tbe current year to be suspended, and I only retained the clerioal aid abso lutely necessary to attend to the other I j.- 1 e 5/ 88a S 1 £ 1 n " ,n " rt '' >■ , . , . . „ . 1 t,TTtfcs I payers on the first of July next. • I 1 that tbe assessment of per sonal property is completed, and of real estate, nearly so, and but for the interrup . payers ou the tnst ot July next. I I deem it proper to express my thanks to I I this arduous task, as I have every reason to believe that they have performed their duty thoroughly and conscientiously, and have done j ustice both to the city and the taxpayers. It is to be hoped that upon the trial of the suit which causes tbe interruption in the work of fhis department, the injunction will be set aside, and tbe important duties which it is sought to transfer to State offi cials restored to the oity administration, to which such duties properly belong, as it is a matter of doubt whether there is an in stance in this country where State officials are oharged with the duty of assessing the property of an important city as a basis of taxation for said city. The act nnder which this great wrong toward the people of this community is tried to be perpetrated, under the fallacious plea of reform, was not only illegally en acted, but is, according to the opinion of several legal gentlemen who have examined it, contrary to the corporate rights and the I charter of the city of New Orleans. For those and other reasons unnecessary to mention in this communication, it appears to be the duty ot the Council toward the people of .this city to instruct the City Attorney to oppose, with all the means at his command, all attempts to put in force the so-oalled law on assessments, which course, I fe< 1 assured, will meet the ap proval of nearly all the taxpayers of this community.
