UNITEI) STATES (1IRlIUIT ('OUR'T.
THE METROPOAITAN FUND.
John A. Walsh, Who uapplied the Slnews
of War, Wants AHi Honey Hark, and
Invokes Federal Jurlsdlrtlon.
Anticipating the decision rendered yesterday
by Judge Monroe, in the Third District Oourt,
Mr. Henry 0. Ely aots on the auggestions there
in contained, and sekes for the appointment of a
receiver for the distribution of the Metropolitan
'olice fund in the hands of the city. Mr. Ely is
the oat's-paw of John A. Walsh, who loaned the
money that kept up for so long the show of re.
sistance made to the legal government by the
Packard rebelliop. Walsh wants to recover the
money he is out on this buocaneering specula
tion, so he introduces Mr. HI. O. Ely, who, as a
resident of Brooklyn, invokes the Federal Juri s
diction to assert the rights of his Mend, as nue
further removed from partisan prejudices, and
therefore more likely to preserve the judicial
temper.
The suit of Henry 0. Ely, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
against the city of New Orleans, is for $18,000, as
set forth below:
The plaintiff says he is the holder and owner
of a certain promissory note for thq sum of thir
teen thousand dollars, silned by O. O. Antoine,
the president, and L. T. Murdok the treasurer
of the Metropolitan Board of Police, dated New
Orleans, February 14, 1877, payable ninety days
after date,
TO Tta OnRDR OF .OfHN A. WAIsA ,
and by him duly indorsed specially to plaintiff
without recourse.
Plaintiff further says that said note was exe
ounted and issued and negotiated to John A.
Walsh for money loaned by him to said Board of
Metropolitan Police, under the provisions of the
act of the Legislature of Louisiana, approved
the 24th of March, 1875, being No. 16 of the aotc
of that year; that said board, by said act, was
fully anthorised to borrow the said sum of money.
Plaintiff avers that, under the provisions of
that and other laws of the State, the city of New
Orleans was charged with collecting a tax to pay
the expenses and outlays of said Board of Metro.
o'itan Police, and to pay the same over to said
board from time to time.
Plaintiff saes that the collection of said taxes
was continued by said city and that there is now
in the possession of said city
A LARIgE SUM OF MOU(EY COLLOCTgDP
under the provisions of law. Plaintiff says that
he does not know the exact amount, but that it
is over 625,000, and constnsly increasing by the
collection of said Metropolitan Police tax.
Plaintiff says that said board did hypothecate
and pledge for the seourity of said note the whole
of the tax levied by said oity for the purpose of
paying the apportionment made against said oity
by the said board for theyear 1877, aswill be seen
by the terms of said note. Plaintiff says that the
Metropolitan Police Board has been abolished and
all other laws maintaining the Metropolitan Po
lice have been repealed, and that
TlE c(ITY SAC NO RMHnT TO RETAIN
the said sums of money so, as aforesaid, collected,
and said city holds maid sums of money in trust
for the benefit of plaintiff as the holder and
owner of paid note, and refuses to pay the same.
Plaintiff further says that he has been in.
formed that there are parties claiming to have
been employed as Metropolitan Policemen who
are demanding that the said city shall deliver to
them the said sums of money now in its posses
sion as aforesaid, for the purpose of applying the
same to suho claims as the) assert to exist toin
their favor against said Board of Metropolitan Po
lice.
Plaintiff says that he is informed that the par
ties so claiming are F. M. Dannoy, H. F. Swett
inham and A. Britton, residing in New Orleans;
that the city is ready to pay out the said money
in any way that
WILL HOLD THE CITY HARMLEBS.
Plaintiff asks that the city be condemned to pay
to him, or to a receiver, should one be appointed,
any sum of money now in, or hereinafter to come
into its possession, derived from the tax levied to
be paid over to the Board of Metropolitan Police.
That plaintiff be decreed to have a lien and
privilege on said fund, to be first paid therefrom,
etc.; that a receiver be appointed to take posses
sion of said fund, and to distribute the same
under the order of this honorable court, and that
the city be enjoined from disposing of said fund,
rxcopt under the order of the court.

CAPT. COWDEN'S LECTURE.
A Sure and Safe Deep Water Route to
the Seaboard.
Capt. Cowden, in the presence of the visiting
gentlemen from St. Louis and Memphis, as well
as a large number of our own citizens, last even.
ing delivered his exposition of his Barataria ca
nal as a sure and safe route to the seaboard. The
Captain, by a wonderful array of statistics show
ing the rapid growth of the Mississippi Valley,
argued that the Father of Waters was the only
and cheap means of freight transportation to the
seaboard to the immense population of the valley.
With deep water, which the Barataria canal
would insure, the trade in grain would increase
four fold, as would that in other commodities.
The Captain at considerable length described the
the practicability of his scheme, and its easy de
fense in case of a foreign war, citing from the
testimony of civil engineers and others.
He urged the opening of this route, and de
.ailed the probable cost of the work.
Dr. Tebault, the president of the Property
Holders' Union, who introduced Capt. Oowden to
the meeting in a neat address, referred strongl)
to the necessity that exists for cheap and safe
transit to the ocean.
To day Capt. Cowden, with the party of visi
tors, leave for an inspection of the proposed
route.
Besolutions commending Capt. Cowden's
scheme and the Esds jetty system were passed
without a dissenting voice.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE INKT . AMYLItIM.
An Admirable Management, Whilc MISiht
Be Imitated.
The Mayor has received the report of the
oloere of the Fink Asylum for the quarter
ending October 31, 1877, and which is signed by
our honored and energetic citizens W. 0. Black,
as predident, and H. V. Ogden, as secretary and
treasurer.
The report shows that there were at the time
the last report was made twenty-nine inmates in
the asylum; sine which tame seven more were
admitted; that there was one death in the Insti
tution; that eight inmates left it, and three
children were sent to the orphan asylums.
The balance on hand at the beginning of the
quarter was 606 99. Since that time $1000 was
turned over to the institution by Col. Denis, Ad
ministrator of Finance. The expenditures during
the quarter foot up $1048 08, leaving a balanoe
on hand of $478 91. There are at present in the
asylum 94 inmates and 4 employes, 98 persons in
all. In other words, the administrators of the
asylum have managed to provide for the suste
nance of the Inmates supplies of all kinds, main
tenance of the building, gardener's charges, etc.,
at a cost of less than 19 50 for eaebh person re
siding in the asylum. The report has not only
met with the commendation of the Mayor, but
Col. Denis proposes at the next meeting of the
Oity Counoil to move that the report be spread
on the minutes in a compliment to the ofloers of
the asylum as well as a piece of instruction to
some of our officials in domestic economy.
(:CUTODIAN OF ARCHIIIVE.
Mayor Pilebury has flled an important vacancy
at the Oity Hall by appointing a custodian of the
city archives. The person selected by the Mayor
is Mrs. Ball, the widow of the late respected br.
H. 8. Ball, an energetic lady, whose labors
during the late sectional conflict Wil be remem
bered by many of the "boys in gray" whose
destiny wea to be made prisoners of war and
brought to New Orleans. The appointment is
not only a worthy one but will be popular.
Mrs. Ball has already begun the work of claeal
loying and shelving the important notarial
records recently transferred to the Oily Hall,
and, judging from appearancee this department
of the archives will soon afford conveniences
which have never before been enjoyed by those
who have occaslon to examine notarial records.
FROM FERNANDINA.
I A Letter of Thanks and a Letter of Coin
plaint.
The following letter was received yesterday by
Mr. Dower, the secretary of the Mayor:
FItaNANDIMA, FLA.
Mr. E. L. Dower, New Orleans:
My/ Dear ,ir-Yours of October 80th, inoloeing
sight check No. 20,989 of Mechaniso and Traders'
Dank ton W. Morgan's Bone, Now York in favor
of 8. T. Riddell, Mayor of Fernandina, Wla., has
been received.
'lease usure the contributors to this munifi
cent donation of our lively gratitude for their
generosity. Yours, most truly,
S. T. ItDDELL.
Per U. Sinclair Bird, Secretary basitary 6om
mittee.
The Mayor received a letter also, complaining
that the subscriptions received there were being
distributed among the people without reference
to the question of need. It would appear from
the tone of the letter that in consequence of the
assistance sent to Fernandina laborers there
have quit working just as the negroes did in
this State a few years ago, when we were stricken
by the epidemic, depending upon the subscrip
tions to enable them to live in idleness. The
Mayor, under the circumstances requests the
relief committee to stop further collections.
THE PENDING INJUNCTION.
The Mayor and the City Attorney Confl
ident of Ntareene.
We had interviews yesterday with both the
Mayor and the City Attorney on the subject of the
injunction obtained by the Pontchartrain and
Jefferson Railroad Company against the city, re
garding the Upperline street drainage canal.
Both lay that the injunction has no signifioanoe.
as far as the ultimate result of the suit is con
corned. When the case comes up on its merits
Mr. Jonss is satisfied that he will be able to ad
duoe evidence of a character that will establish the
rights of the city beyond a doubt-evidence which
could not be brought on the trial of the injunc
tion under our court practice.
THE CH01OOL BOARD.
Reaolutteons Passed and Measures Adopted
Regarding Public Education.
The Board of Directors of the Publi Schools
held a regular meeting yesterday afternoon, the
Hon. T. J. 8emmes occupying the chair.
The president informed the directors that a
new hearing had been granted in the trial insti
tuted against the board by Paul Trevigne.
Mr. J. K. Outhejm, president of the professors'
committee, submitted a report, including the
transfers of the professors that took place in the
different schools last month, and demanding a
reconsideration of the vote by virtue of which the
board has established the candidature of Miss
M. B. Gower and M. A. B. Leche, two ex-profes
sors of well recognized ability.
Upon the recommendation of the same com
mittee Mrs. Wilhams was authorized to pass an
oral examination in consideration of the accident
which happened to her at the time of the written
examination which was held at the end of Sep
I tember, and which she could not possibly at
tend.
Mr. Mitchell observed that many professors
had served for many years in primary classes,
and suggested that an exception be made in their
favor, offering them an oral examination during
the course of next month, which would enable
them, if worthy, to be transferred to grammar
classee.
Mr. Edmonds was appointed Princlpal of the
academical department No. 4, with a monthly
salary of ninety dollars, with Mrs. Prados as as
sistant at a monthly salary of sixty-five dollars.
Mr. 6ollins Chairman of the Finance Commit
tee, presented the following resolutions, which
were adopted.
Resol ed, That the amount shown by the
Treasurer's books to the credit of the Carrollton
school tax of 1874, be transferred to the account
of the city school tax of the same year.
Resolved. That the treasurer be and he is
hereby authorized to pay the outstanding certifi
cates and warrants for the month of September,
1874.
Resolved, That all balances of the Oarrollton
fund of 1875 and 1876 in the possession of the
I treasurer be used to pay the rolls of the months
of July and August. 18:6.
A resolution was also adopted adjudicating to
t the Eagle Company the contract to clean the
sinks of the publc schools of the city during a
t period of fourteen months, beginning on the let
November, 1877, at the rate of $70 for each sink.
On motion of Mr. Gutheim it was resolved
that a contract should be entered into immedi
P ately to supply the schools with coal.
Mr. Mitchell now presented a report relating
¢ to the Normal Schools, which are said to be in a
s perfect condition and contain a large number of
well trained pupils. The colored department is
also reported as well organized, under the direc
I tion of the principal and his seeistants.
On motion of Mr. Gutheim, the report of the
s committee on text books was called up and con
I sidered. Mr. Gutheim offered several amend
ments to the report, one of which proposed to
substitute a history instead of the elementary
history of Carter, which Mr. Gutheim said con
tamned the individual theological opinions of
the author, not deemed proper. Another pro
eosed the use of Watson's Independent reader
as a book equal, if not superior, to any other, in
the opinion of the committee.
These books, he explained, could be lent under
certain conditions to such of the pupils whose
pecuniary means would not permit them to pur
chase them.
On motion of BSuperintendent Rogers it was re
solved that the Mire street school be opened to
colored persons, because the constantly morse
Sing number.of scholars at the Bampart and
Claiborne schools would very soon compel the
[refusal of more newspplicants.

Mr. Outhetm also offered a resolution asking
the appointment of a committee with inastro
lions to inquire as to the nae name of the member
who had violated his oath by divulging the pro
ceedings or the board in executive seselon at the
last meeting.

VAnRI'rNin TnATRn,.-- Manager Hall finding
that the "T'wo Orphans" has drawn so well sinoe
the opening of the Kate Claxton company, has
eoncluded to follow his first idea of keeping the
play on the boards of the Varieties until further
notice. Tickets sold for to-night for the first per
pearance of "Conscience" can be exclanged at
the box office, where they will find our friend
Kittredge, whose name now appears on the
bills as "business manager and treasurer." This
is not only a deserved compliment to Kit, but is
an excellent omen of the pecuniary success of
the Varieties.
We agree entirely with Mr. Hall in his reso
lution to continue the "The Two Orphans" on
his stage, for we were agreeably deceived in our
expectations that it deserved the name of the
"Too Oftens," unless played by even a more pow
erful and perfect company than that of Miee
Claxton.
The Claxton Company has, however, in general
proved itself sufficient to justify the patronage
that they are receiving. With Miss Claxton as
,ouie'e, the blind girl, which would be most ex
cellent but for some over acting; Mrs. Howard
Rogers as Lo Fr,,cwhar--the most natural one
we have seen; Miss Lillian Oleves Clark as IlHn
rih'e, the best who has appeared in New Orleans,
and by no means to be considered third in our
appreciation Mr. Hall has a nucleus with which
to draw full houses for some time yet.
We are compelled by cironumsraces, independ
ent of our will, to omit the names of the other
artiste who appear in the "Two Orphans," be
cause while several of them possess unmistak
able qualities, they manifest, from a critical point
of view defects which should always be printed
while giving them credit for what they do well.
The "Two Orphans" will therefore be present
ed every night this week and at the matinee on
Saturday. Seats for the last mentioned per
formance are already in great demand.
ST. COUARIas THKATiE.-BSeats caO be secured
any day at the St. Charles for the first perform
ance, on Sunday next, of the celebrated "Ger
man Band," whose excellencies need not be re
peated. As soon as the programme is sent to us
we will take pleasure in speaking of its principal
features for the benefit of our dillettante.
ST. I'ATRIwK' HALi.--Those of our people who
are fond of the Can-can, as It Is understood on
the American boar.s, will find a fund of enjoy
ment at this hall to-night. The advertisement
in our columns says that it will be produced by
Mme. Rentz's Minstrels as it was three years
go at the Globe Theatre, which, if uar memory
serves us, from hearsay, was deeollette enough to
throw the "Black Crook" and other such shows
into the shade. Our public have therefore an
opportunity this evening of definitely manifest
ing their moral proclivities by either going to the
show or stavine at home.
