As there are at present numbters of persons of

have not the means to advertise their wants, the t

in length three lines. This will include adver- t
tisements of those desiring the services of ser
vants or of any class of employee, and will also
Include arvertisements of houses to rent, where
the monmaly rent does not exceed $25. In adopt
ing this plan, the managers of the DsIockBT feel t
that they will greatly benefit thbie u6oTIv i -ii -

Several of the defendants in the Oainoes
suit have notified the plaintiff, and the United

A dispatch received in this city yesterday i
'nanounced a second triumph for Miss Kate 3
Thayer, the accomplished daughter of Mr. F. e
N. Thayer, our fellow-townsman, on the a
occasion of her appearance in a con-*
cert at (Gilmore's Garden in New
York. It will be remembered that Miss
Thayer attained a most enviable success
in her debut at Baltimore some time since.
It is an unusual gratifloation to record these
repeated triumphs, for Miss Thayor is a lady b
of whom New Orleans should be proud in
deed. Besides being a most scientific musi
clan she is a young lady of high literary
accomplishments for one so young. Her let
ters to the Picayune over the some de plume g
of "Vagabond" have attracted great and
deserved admiration for their excellence as
art criticisms, as well as for their general
literary merit. We extend to the lady our
congratulations and wishes for her continued
Austria Indignantly denies that she has any
intention of intervening between the Russians
and Turks, and old Bismarck from Kissongen,
where he is repairing his constitution, gives
out that there is no occasion for any inter
ference by the other powers. Meantime
Great Britain is petitioning for leave to send
her fleet through the Dardanelles. but with
what object she does not say. If it is as a
threat against Russian occupation of Con
stantinople, then the Russophiles suggest the
great utility and effectiveness of torpedoes
against the largest ships and squadrons in
the world. Altogether it looks as if poor old
Turkey were left alone, a crippled(and wound
ed prey to the Russian bear who may rend
and tear her to pieces without the interference
of any of the lookers pn. It is evident, how
ever, that she will die game, and not dishonor
her brilliant record of military service and
long career of triumph over the Christian'
races.
There is a current rumor that Gen. Howard
has been superseded in the command of the
United States troops operating against the
hostile Indians by (en. Crook, a real Indian
lighter. Howard is the same man who ren
dered himself so odious and officious after the
war by the transactions of the Freedman's
Bureau, of which he was the head. He was
the founder and for some time the adminis
trator of that enormous swindle, the Fre.d
man's Bank at Washington. Through tTis
bank the colored people of the South were
robbed of many hundreds or thousands of
dollars. Howard was the opprobrium of
the regular army by his interference in
politics and his hypocritical pretenses
of superior piety and philanthropy Ex
pelled from the sphere into which he had
intruded himself, he was sent to perform
some military service in bur remote Territory
of Idaho. The first occasion which occurs to
him to test the sincerity of his devotion to
humanity and civilization by a vigorous de
fense of the settlers on our borders, he proves
inadequate to the task and allows our troops
to be beaten and outmaneuvred, and is now to
be realled that he may renew his prayer
meetings and leoture on the superiority of

THE LEVEE BONDS.
The following dispatch was received heir
yesterday :
Monnone, La., July 16, 1877.
0. VJ. Forstall, Esq. :
As instructed by Mr. Flan an, I send cop)
of decree. It is ordered, adjudged and decroee
that the judgment of the lower court k
affirmed, which refuses to make the man
damus obtained by relator peremptory be
cause of the decree of this court rendered in
suit No.5t0; and it is further decreed that the
bonds set forth in the relator's petition are
now declared to be legal and valid obligations
of the State of Louisiana, and they were is
sued in strict conformity to law and not in
violation of the Constitution of the United
States or of this State, and for a valid ponsid
oration; it is further ordered that the relator
pay costs of both courts. Judgment in Math
or's ease same In effect.
TAnBOT STILLMAN,
(lerk Supreme Court.
The decisions referred to in the foregoing
dispatch relate to the convertibility of the
levee bonds issued under acts No. 35 of 1863,
No. 115 of 1807, and No. 32 of 1870. These is
sues are decreed to be valid obligations of the
State and coneoquently entitled to be funded.
We may sincerely congratulate upon the re
sult of the litigation thus brought to a close,
not only the parties directly Interested and
their persevering and energetic attorney, but
also the Board of Liquidation and the State
itself. Our new Funding Board,which is oom
posed of gentlemen who have the Interests of
the State as much at heart as any other patri
otic citizens, very reluctantly refused to fund
the outstanding bonds of the above mentioned
issues, because their oath of office required of
them to obey the strict letter of the law ap
plicable to the case. They never for a moment
denied the right of the holders of these bonds
to have them funded. They simply required
that these holders should obtain and present
to them a decision of the Supreme Court af
firming the validity of their bonds. That de
cision has now been obtained, and it cannot
fail to give entire satisfaction to all parties
concerned.
But the board and the holders of the bonds
are not the only persons interested in this
matter. The' decision rendered yesterday at
Monroe will produce a more benoeicial effect
upon the credit of Louisiana in foreign mar
kets than perhaps any act of our State gov
ernment could have done. European holders
of our bonds will feool that we intend to act
towards them in the utmost good. faith by
honoring~all of the obligations of the State
for , which they have paid and we re
e..ved a valid consideration, andt we are
fully lprsuaded that before long the
credit of Louisiana will stand as high in New
York, London. Paris and Amsterdam as that
of any State of this Union. The seven per
cent. bonds of IGeorgia now rule at about 109;
the six per cents of Missouri at about 106, and
It will be the alum of our present government
of reform to sb manage the fiscal affairs of
this Slate that the seven per cent. bonds of
Louisiana will soon command an equally high
price--tho more so that ,their probable total
amount (less than $12,000,000 after the funding
of all convertible bonds) will be a mere baga
tele for a'State so rich in resources as ours.
A SUOCEBSFUL AMERIOAII LAWYER.
[London Letter to the Cincinnati Enquirlr.l
At the present time the bar of England has
a practitioner well known in America, and
highly esteemed for his quiet and effective
abilities and social bearing. Iallude to Mr.
Judah P. Benjamin, late man of affairs to Mr.
Davis during the trying days of the Confeder
acy. Mr. Benjamin was born in San Domin
go some sixt-flve years ago; studied at Yale,
Now Haven, but did not graduate; went to
New Orleans and became prominent at the
local bar and in polities. In the one calling
he made the largest fee on record. It was in
the defense of the New Almaden mine of
quicksilver in Mexico. A counter claim to the
owners, Messrs. Rothsehilds, was set up, and
Mr. Benjamin's services were sought at an
expense that involved, by way of a retainer
and contingent fee, $500,000. Mr. Benjamin is
now making over $125,000 per annum at his
professIon as a Queen's counselor.
There are several grave errors in the fore
going. Mr. Benjamin was not born in St
Domingo, brit in one of the British West
Indlies, a fact which gave him the position
that enabled him to obtain admission to the
bar of England. He was an infant when his
parents emigrated to Charleston, South Caro
lina, and his namhe appears in the naturaliza
tion papers of his father. It is true in
general that Mr. Benjamin's income from his
professional labors was large, but not larger
than his eminent talents, wonderful indus
try, power of work, and versatility and
solidity of talents merited. But it is not true
that in the Almaden quicksilver mine his fees
amounted to the sum indicated, $500,000
On the contrary, we believe that Mr. Benja
min's share of the compensation allowed
with several distinguished attorneys in that
case, was smaller than that of several others,
and did not exceed $20,000. The largest fee de
rived from the case was by the late Robert J.
Walker, which amounted to $240,000. The late
Louis Janln, also of Our bar, received some
$58,000 in the same case. Large fees were
also paid to the late Ed. Stanton, we think;
also to Jeremiah Black and Edmund Ran
dolph, formerly of our bar.
The case was one of immense importance
and involved many millions of value, and the
services of those eminent jurists were not
overpaid. It is an interesting and sorrowful
fact that the late Robert J. Walker, with all
his great ability as a jurist and financier, lost
every dollar of this large fee by investing the
whole amount in Sir Morton Peto's grand
railroad swindle, and left his family in pov
erty. Mr. Benjamin was alike unfortunate or
improvident in his investments of his large
professional revenues. Sugar planting swept
off about $200,000; Tehuantepec a large
amount, and a guano speculation in South
America the remainder of his hard earnings.
Finally, the downfall of the Confederacy
drove him a fugitive from our country. Inan
open boat, rowed by a negro, he passed from
Florida to Nassau, where he landed with a
single dollar in his pocket. The war had
destroyed every vestige of his property.
We remember the exultation of Ben Butler
when, through a seizure of the iron safe of a
private banking house in this city, he ob
tained possession of the bank box of Judah P.
Benjamin. This exultation was converted
into violent rage and disgust when, on open
ing the box, it was found to contain only
Tehuantepec bonds, which had becomevalue
less by the failure of that great enterprise,
and a few notes and bills of private indivi
duals for professional services. The victim
of these misfortunes and persecutions is now
the foremost barrister in England, with a
princely income derived from labor at his
profession, of which he is the pride and orna
ment id this country and in the British Em
pire.

THE WEILLS LETTER.
Reply of the Distrlct Attorney and the
True gtatcment.
The following open letter was telegraphed to
the New York Herald last night:
New OnLaeaL,'LL, July 15, 1877.
To the Editor of the New York IHerald :
Sir-I beg leave to ask space in your paper to
insert the following, In reply to a letter which
appears in the New Orleans DNioonAT of this
date, signed by J. Madison Wells, and addressed
to you, in regaud to the prosecution recently in
stituted against the members of the late Board
of Returning Officers of tliis State. Notwith
standing the many, and, I in forced to say, ailly
reports which have been olrtulated throughout
the country as to the motive which acluates this
prosecution, I had made up my mind neither to
deny nor approve any of them.
I do not think it well, however, to dllow this
communiaotion to pasu unnoticed.
It is true that Mr. Wellsjnd his colleagues of
the Returning Board, are 'hot being prosecuted
..r perjury and forgery, but for *uttering and
oublishing as true a certain altered, false, forged
and counterfeited public record " this public
record being the original returns of the election
held on the 7th of November, 1877, in the parish
of Vernon, an entirely distinct offense, but which
is ~lunshable in the same way and to the same
It is equally true that Mr. Wells and his fel
lows are not prosecuted upon the basis on an jn
didmrmt or true bizl found by the Grand Jury or
this parish, but updh an information filed by me
as District Attorney, upon the following reoom
asndation, via:
"GunAm Juva Room, i
"New Orleans, June 27, 1877.
"The Grand Jury respectfully recommends
that thq honortable court will instreut the Dis
trtet Attorney to file the proper informations
against J. Madison Wells 'I homns O. Anderson
G. Oasanave and Louins . Kenner, members of
the late Returning -oard, for perjury forgery
and altering the returns of the parish of Vernon
and other parishes of the ttate.
"JOHN A. O'BRIEN,
"Foreman of Grand Jury."'
This was handed to me on the date of its writ
lng, and as soon as possible thereafter, I pre
pared, and on the flfth of July following I filed
the information upon which J. Madison Wells
and his colleagues must appear before the Bupe.
ior Criminal Court for the parish of Orleans, for
triaL
As to the delay in filing this information, Wells
and his assooiates are more to blame than any
body else; they and their creatures relnsed to
recogonize the court, its officers and the Grand
Inquest of this parish, when the lonvestigation
was first begun, pd it is but now, when the au
thority of the State ollicials is no longer denied
r.disputed, that J. MeIl. Wells and his accused
brothers, so far submit, well knowing, perhaps,
the futility of resistance, as to recognize a capias
placed in the hands of our Criminal Sheriff for
execntion.
Unlike the late Returning Board, of which J.
Mad. Wells was the presiding officer, the Superior
Criminal Court for the parish of Orleans keeps
no "secret files," and as the late president of the
defnnot Returning Board well knows, his counsel
was well aware of the time when the information
which causes so much trouble was to be filed,
and it may be that Mr. Wells did nut take advan
tage of this knowledge.
I may take this opportunity to say that, as far
as I know, no one connected with either of the
late contesting political parties in this State have
had the least concern or influence in the procur
ng of this prosecution.
My "method and design" in thisIs simply to
bring guilty men to justice, as I have sworn to
do, and none shall escape punishment, if I can
prevent it. and particularly for the perpetration
of such high crimes as J. Mad. Wells and his
accused fe:lows are charged with.
Very respectfully,
JOHN J. FINNEY,
District Attorney of First Judicial District of
Louisiana.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
Editor Drmocrat- -As the sun of reform
seemns to have shedl his rays'of light upon the
soil of Louisiana, and the Pelican is premalred
to sustain herself against the crushing odds
of hunger and maternal care, would it not be
in order to follow the course of Georgia and
reform our constitution. The article In to
day's DEMOURAT on this subject should not be
lost sight of, and the several able articles that
have appeared in your paper on the question
of "Reform in the Judiciary" deserves the
attention of every citizen and especially the
members of our General Assembly. A radical
change in our judicial system Is necessary.
A more efficient and less explensive one can be
organiz d.
The obsolete or Inoperative parts of the
fundamental law should be amended or
stricken out. The powers of parish govern
ments should be more fully and substantially
defined. Our school laws should be more
simple and com prehensive, and thp present
cumbersome and expensive machinery sent to
the junk shop.
A tax receipt instead of a registratipn certi
ficate should be made the basis of the right to
vote.
At all events our State or our Institutions
can't suffer from the doings of a constitu
tional convention. P. P. C'ARRoLL.
