WASHINGTON MATTERs.-From the
Washington Evening Star Of the Sd
instant, we extract the following items
Of Washington news:
The Clergy "iu the Ring
Among the electioneerers iufesting
the halls of the Washington Hotels,
just now, may be recognized more
than one minister of the gospel, with
sundry deacons, elders, leaders, ETC.,
who are interested in the termination
Of the contest for the Chap laincy of
either House. From appearances,
we judge that they understand the
game quite as well, and enter into it
with as much zest, as do the thousand
other folks who seem to be strainiDg
every nerve between drinks) in the
same places to aid the house in choos-
ing officers. To say the least Of it, it
is somewhat disgusting to find clergy
men and their ambitions, hopes and
fears mixed up in such matters.

ically and mentally blind as not to see
that Red stick, is q rival to New Or

rival Of Red stick as heretofore believ.
ed ? We think and hope not.
In reference to the great Western
Pacific railroad, running out from Or
leans towards Opelousas-sixteen miles
we never said anything on our ac-
count; We NEARLY quoted the words
Of the Crescent's reporter who went
over the road" after the opening. 1t
is he who speaks of "the fields ofcult-
ure''-and the waving cane fields,
Stretching off towards the horizon.
And now tit is our usual fortune) the
Crescent says the Comet displays
the entire transformation of its editor
as to the character of the country
through which the Opelonsas road
passes. The Comet tells US that the
"carsrun through scenes Of culture
IF the editor had ever been on the
OpeIousas road he would have been
far from asserting that the extensive
cypress swamps through which the cars
pass, are 'scenes of cultur = or from
penning several other thugs which
appear in the article we refer to-
By Jupiter. We never said we

confess, though, that we shall not fore

we objected to in the Crescent's &C.
count Of the opening" was the "poet-
ry part" we did this out of the very
best motives for the entcrprise-we
did it because we believe the citizens
Of New Orleans and Opelousas, are
sensible people, and do not like to
have poetry and pecuniary benefit,
mixed in, with such "a matter. of-fact
matter" as the Pacific railway.
EThe public documents placed
before the present Congress are all so
weighty, that the press cannot make
use of them. The Post Master Gen
erals Report takes modest nine col
umns ofthe Union newspaper. Secre-
tary Guthrie's report (the Secretary
is the great executioner of the admin
istration) takes twenty-one pages Of
an octave book, and the War Depart
ment; reviews everything military from
the days Of Cambyses down. The
Navy's report is as thick volumu as
The Dead Sea, and as the newspapers
cannot crowd down their columns to
get them in; they will all 60 down to
oblivion together.

DEATH OF DEvoTl.--We clip the
following from the Natchitocbes Chron-
icle, of the Sd inst. Poor Dcvoti was
well known here
Most of our readers remember
Mons. Devoti, for many years teacher
Of dancing in this, and the adjoining
Parishes, and his very name is sugges-
tive Of quadrilles, polkas, schottisches,
heated rooms, and all the attendants of
the gay ball room. The poor fellow
left here for Texas, Oh the appearance
of the epidemic, and was taken sick
and died on his route to that State.
He has danced his last step, and taken
bis last, the dead march.
Monsieur Devoti, was the first per-
son to dance the Cracoviene in this
city. The performance came off at
Madame Legeuder 's-now the Cry
Hotel. A large concourse crowded
the ball room on that occasion; when
the professor appeared in Fanny Esler
cost ume, the applause was immence,
not more however than when he made
his exit,-An accident befell his flesh
colored stockings which put an end to
the entertainment.
DEATH OF IrURBIDE.-Died, in
Matamoras, on the 10Th inst, after
five days illness, ofyeIlow fever, Felipe
de Iturbide, aged thirty years. The
deceased was a son of Agustin de Itur-
bide, who was Emperor of Mexico in
1921. He was educated at St. Mary's
College, Baltimore, Nd, and until
about ls48 had been resident Of
Philadelphia, where his family still
reside. His brothers are in the mill
tary and revenue service of Mexico
The deceased had been employed in
the Mexican Boundry Commission
since his return to that country, and
was acting as Interpreter at the time
of his death.
BY his mild and gentlemanly de-
pertinent, he had endeared himself
to many of our citizens.-Brovus-
Wlie Flag.

ofSersia an explanation Of the present
warlike activity oe that State. 1t is
said that an Austrian force is collecting
in the Lower Soave. Prince Ghika
has arrived at Vienna.
The Papers are silent respecting the
state Of feeling in Hungary.
