WARMOTH, Governor Elec t. THE CITY. The weather duriug the past week has been seasonably warm, with but little rain. The accounts from the country continue to be encouraging. A few weeks more of such favorable weather will secure the cotton crop beyond a probable contingency.

After much undignified scrambling for tiie high places, the City Council became organized on Wednesday night. A committee appointed forthat purpose had waited upon the commanding general the same day with a request that he elect the salaried chairmen of the committees. But the implied admission of iucompetency aud Want of manhood shown by the requeat disgusted the doughty warrior with his uuworthy proteges, aud he peremptorily ordered them from his preseuce, aud threatened to drive them from the public crib. This threat had a soothing effect, under the influences of which an organization was effected by electing some of the most anxious if not the most competent members to salaried offices, which were the bone of contention. The past week has been characterized by an important event.

The omnibus bill has become a law, aud Governor Warmoth lias already issued his proclamation conveuiug the Legislature. Thus the treasonable work which culminated on the twenty sixth of January, 1861, has nearly been undone. The Legislature will meet to-morrow, and will no doubt, as soon as organized, ratify the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. Immediately after that is done we learn that all the executive and judicial officers of the State will be sworn iu, aud we shall be ready to proceed to business. A feeble attempt was made early in the week to get up a meeting of the ex-soldiers and sailora of the Union army.

The result was about fourteen persons, about half of whom were iu the rebel army, appeared at the appoluted time aud place. A more perfect failure has not becu witnessed in this city for along time. A shocking homicide was committed on Thursday night, which has caused some little excitement. As there has not beeu any formal examination of the homicide we forbear comment for the present, having no desire to excite the public mind one way or another on the subject. City matters in general remain in the same unsatisfactory condition so often referred to by us before.

The temporary relief hoped for from the issuing of certificates of indebtedness has not been realized, in consequence of the refusal of the Mayor to sigu them. The reasons given for this refusal are deemed insufficient by most of the gentlemen whom we have heard express an opinion on the subject. It would look, therefore, as though Mr. Conway Is disregarding the law or ordinance authorizing the use of the certificates. We do not attach any special importance to these certificates, but at the same time hold that all are in duty bound to obey the existing laws.

City money still rules at thirty seven and a half to thirfcy-niue per cent discount. It is paid out freely by the treasurer every day, aud there is no prospect of another destruction of city at an early day. The probabilities rather favor an increase in the issue. By meaus of the great. depredation in city money the pay of policemen, city officers, teachers, and those who supply the with various necessaries is reduced uearly one-half, while the people derive no benefit, either present or prospective, from the reduction.

A change of great importance is Contemplated in the judicial and municipal offices in New Orleaus. According to our specials the offices named are to be declared vacant by act ot Congress, aud the Governor authorized to fill the vacancies. BEBEI.UABHARIT1F8.

WKL OttP Arraignment of Colonel Luckett before the Hecorder I Last evening Recorder Gastinel arraigned Colonel Luckett, the gentleman who was arrested by Coroner Bradford as having been in some manner connected with the killing of Colonel Manney in Victor's restaurant ou the eveniug of the twenty- fifth instant, and proceeded to an examination, Judges Foute aud Ogden appearing as counsel tor accused. Ail the witnesses who testified before the jury were on the stand, but not a single word of evidence was given that could be construed to the disadvantage of the prisoner. In fact all the testimony adduced was nearly the same as given duriug the holding of the inquest, except, perhaps, the following statement of Mr. Hare, which is more explicit than previously: Wheil the saloon he saw deceased at the counter in a discussion with the proprietor. Luckett was near the front saw deceased make motions as if about to draw a weapon; it that he had two derringer pistols iu his pocket; d- ceased was told by a friend that his conduct was not correct; during this time Luckeit had gone out of the front door; deceased bain to proprietor "I'll meet you at the by hell, I urn not afraid of anything;" Lucket aud some one else entered iUHt then, aud stood by ihe first table iu the saloon; saw deceased raise his hand as if to attract his attention, ami said to Luckett, Do you take exceptions to hat 1 and after one or two words more which witness did not hear Luckett said "You have cursed me," aud other words which escaped witness; deceased then in a boibterous manner averred that he had not curbed him; wituess then saw the man in company ith Luckett slap deceased iu the face, and tuen stab him twice with a knife; saw the bloody knife when withdrawn from the wound aud theu plunged iu again; wituess was so nornfled that he could not speak; Luckett made some exclamation the man who committed the murder was between deceased aud accused; Witness was ten feet from the parties; Manney did not say a word after he was wounded; do not know the mau who did the stab bing; but thinks he would know hiui if he should see him.

When all the wituesses summoned had testified, the counsel for accuse 1 that their client be discharged; but the Recorder, considering the short space of time that had elapsed since the homicide, did not feel warranted in discharging the for not impossible new facts might bo developed within a week or two, therefore he would release him on bonds of $2000 to appear as a material witness in the case, should it come up hereafter. Colouel Luckett produced a bondsman ut once Below' we give the evidence of Colonel Luckett as he gave it to the coroner's jury after the room had been cleared of all persons except certain officials and the jury: At about eight, or half au hour later, on Thursday eveniug, myself aud friend were sitting at a side table, near the door, at Victor's restaurant; had called for a mution chop and a plate of soup. While eating saw two gentlemen enter the room, neither of whom wituess persouaily knew. The taller of the two wituess recognized by his cravat as a gentleman wituess had seen while wituess was leaving the room. The other witness did not know'.

The tall mau referred to was the deceased. While witness was eating witness heard the deceased use the most violent language toward the restaurateur, calltug him, among other things, a eon and" threatening to cut his him and kill him. The difh, and" threatening to cut his him and kill him. The difficulty appeared to be about a bill. Deceased then got up from the table where he was sluing, and advanced toward the restaurateur, now behind the counter.

He at the same time threatened to kill him (the restaurateur), and suited the words by throwing his right hand behind him, though he was about to draw a weapon. The restaurateur then stepped into his office, as though he was about to draw a weapoh. He, however, only took up a ruler. I at this moment remarked to my friend, "I am going to bettle my bill, and go away from ht-re." My friend's office is on --street. His business--.

Although I walked dowu toward the couuter my companion retained his seat. Meanwhile, us witness approached Manney turned to him, and made this remark: your soul to maybe you want to settle this difficulty Witness answered to him that he could not be a party between him and the gentleman who kept the restaurant. Deceased continued to witness two or three times. Witness re jailed he did not allow man to curse him; that if he (MauueV)did not hush he (wituess) would knock him down. At this moment Captain Craig, the gentleman who came witb deceased, caught hold ot and said, Don't notice him; he is outrageously drunk;" that he woutd arrange ihe matter the next day, I remarked to him, then, Why don't you take, him out of here 1 am trying to do so," was his auswer.

Witness then answered, will matter. nd a and he will quiet the Witness then walked out; did not happen to meet auy policemen on any of He. ou to No 18 Bourbon street, where he roomed, and where he dowu with his friend for I twenty-five or thirty minutes. Witness then proposed taking walk. This was done, and tho walk was ntinued from uutil opposite Victor's.

The friend who was with then proposed that they 6liouid go over tu Victor's and see who tue party was that was so abusive, or at least to luquire the uame ot the party. I When came to the place he stop- ped and looked in to see if the parties were iu. He did uot see the 1 he would not have gone iu. The friend of the wituess was now in advance about fifteen feet, and led the way. Witness iu entering imssed Craig, who tukiug down hat.

Within a few of the door witness pass- ed iu office and metthe deceased and the party who-did the killing about four steps beyond Craig toward tne office, They were talking apparently without anger.

ANOTHER TALE OF BLOOB. Murder of a Man ta Cupt iln of the Great JAepubllc turnmlttrd the Wurde The St. Louis Democrat of Thursday has the following: The maguificent steamer Great Republic arrived at our lauding about twelve o'clock night before last, and between one aud two o'clock a human life was taken on board that boat under circumstances which must send a thrill of horror through the heart of one reading the testimony elicited at boat being whose vidence could have any hearing upon the case. While her way from New Orleans to 8t. Louis one of the cabin boys, or rather the who was detailed by the steward to attend to the texas, named Law rence Glover, refused to scrub, for reasons of his own, which the steward considered not good, and he was therefore handcuffed ami placed in the baggage room.

Henry Anderson, another cabin boy, was Incensed at the usage of Glover, made remarks to the effect that the crew ought to quit if the buy not released, aud spoke to the captain about it, who refused to act in the matter, aud some of the cabin crew went to the baggage room and took the prisoner out, but no violence was used. Afterward both Anderson and Glover were placed in irons and confined in the baggage room. they were ou the arrival of the Great Republic at the Louis landing. After her arrival, between the hours stated, Anderson was shot through the forehead and killed. It would appear from the evidence that Captain Donaldson, the porter, and the boy Lawrence Glover were iu the baggage room at tiie time ot the killing.

Captain Barr, one of the clerks, was either inside or outside the baggage evidence differs as to exact locality. Glover escape and told his story at the police station, and officers were sent to arrest the captain, who upou their arrival w'as not on board, he having gone up into the city. Search Wns made, and about nine o'clock yesterday morning Officers Goodky and Darlington met and arrested him on Cherry street, coming to the boat. Captain Don aldson denied all knowledge of killing. These are the circumstances in brief.

A terrible murder has been committed, but it is not our province to prejudge the case by indulging in personal comments. The evidence substantially and iu the order given appears below. Captain W. 13 Donaldson is a young perhaps thirty-live years of age, but is re markably well we believo much liked on the Western waters for his geutlemanly and generous deportment. He si periutended the building of the Great lublic, and has been in command siuce he aunch.

It is understood he has a large in terest in her. He is a married man and resides in Pittsburg. Judge Denison was yesterday afternoon called upon to take bail, but peremptorily refused to do so. L. M.

Hhreve, ap peared in behalf of the prisoner at the coroner's inquest, which was held iu the wash room of the boat, the body of the murdered man remaining upou the door of the baggage room, the handcuffs, however, having been removed. Henry Anderson, the deceased, is a negro, very dark, perhaps thirty years old, five feet seveu or eight inches high, with mustache and imperial. Of his home or family nothing was learned. The wound is near the temple, and death must have been in stautaueous. The testimony occupies too much space for onr columns.

It is of such a nature that the life of Captain Donaldson, the alleged murderer, is placed in great peril by it. We give the testimony of only one witness: ness: Samuel am porter on the Great Republic; live in Cincinnati; about o'clock last night I was called dowu stairs; I took a lantern and went iu the baggage room; Captain Barr and Gaptaiu Doualdson went iu with me; we talked some time; while I was drawiug sonic whisky to put on a boy's foot a pistol was fired; I saw a pistol in Captain Doualdsou's hand: urn not positive that they were in there when I wentiu; 1 was called in; 1 held the tight while Captain Donaldson talked to the two prisoners; asked deceased how he got the handcuffs from behind him; deceased said he slipped them in front; the captain told him to slip them back; afterward he told him to sit down: told the other boy to get them both get up aud sit down; some words passed, but what they were I could uot tell; heard the captaiu say: Don talk that way to me." About that t.me I stooped to draw whisky to put on the boy's foot, and heard the report of a pistol; after which I saw no one holding a pistol. I saw Captain Donaldson have a pitdol iu his hand before; I gave Captaiu Barr the keys of the baggage room aud went away; the captain, before the shot, fell over against me, and I tried to get him up stairs. he drunk? sir, I think he waa. We theu turned arouutl and got to talking again.

The deceased offered no resistance to the ca itaiu when ordered to get up and sit dowu that I saw. The coroner's jury agreed upon this diet; That Henry Anderson came to his death from the effects of Wguushot wouud through his brain, caused by a bullet from a pistol fired o.v the bauds of Captain W. B. Donaldson, on the ot the twenty-fourth day of June, 1868, ou board of the steamer Great Republic, aud that the deed was committed without auy provoca tion on the part of the deceased. He is therefore held on the charge of murder, which the Coroner will prefer against him.
