the Tontine Fire Insurance Company.
The company was organized in May
last, with n capital of 5000, 900, as it
appeared, but the inquiries ofthe Com

fact that every dollar was loaned for
the occasion to swear by, and was soon
restored, leaving the company's capi-
tai 600 to commence business with ?
The company at the same time owed
$4,000 for the loan Of the 1900. coo,

o. A correspondent Of the New

One Of the most noted promenders
of the Partisan Boulevards at this
moment. is the Hon. Mike Walsh. of
New York. Mike looks sadly out of
place with his diguihed walk aud
strange toilet. and doesn Mt seem to
take readily to Partisan habits. Being
asked, the day after his arrival, bv an
American, how he liked France. Mike
made the follwing characteristic reply:
Il have tried at a dozen places si,,ce |

ate myself to their confounded drinks.
The basis Is good, but they have a
way of mixing it that ! shall never

tCtobeT 5isf. 1890,
ALL keepers Of grcg-shops or coffee
houses within the Corporation Of Baton
Rouge, are hereby requested to keep their
places closed on the General Election day.
November 9Th, 1855. during the hours that
the polls will be open. This request is
made with the assent and cooperation of
a majority Of the citizens Of this city.
JOSEPH MONGET, Mayor.
From the above Proclamation of
Mayor MoNGET, it will be observed
that the keepers of Coffee Houses, and
grog-shops, are requested to close their
shops on Monday next-the day Of
election-at least during tho hours
the polls are open. At first blush, it
may appear unreasonable to make this
request but when examined into. i,
will be found, that coffee.house keep
ers will loose nothing by it, and law
and order will gain much Thus: the
crcwd-cr that large and respectable
portion Of it, accustomed to imbibing
freely on such occasions, will be ex-
ceedingly thirsty when the polls close;
and rush in, to FIJI their bladders with
all reasonable despatch. The noisy
and riotous will thus fall early in the
action, 10 the honor and glory of the
country. Thus it will be seen, that
coffee house keepers will not loose,
and the country will gain a number Of
sober, if not honest and intelligent
votes. oil

DECIDEDLY THE BEST WAY yET.-If
there is any better way to learn Ian
guagea than that recently invented BY
y Professor Rrette Of New Orleans, it
should be made known Immediately
and the author receive a medal from
the Academy Of useful Sciences and
Inventions. The Professor has lady
teachers into whose hands the scholar
is placed, and they promenade the
Hall, in which nothing but French is
allowed to be spoken. French, Ital-
ian, German, Greek and Latin, may
he learned without a master. We
are much in favor of this system of
Brctte'a; and think If a man cannot
learn the French, by looking into a

ought to live, die, aud be - saved
in English. Should much prefer to

IF you have been bored u~nendurably
already with chapters Of lamentations IRON
your correspondent in this city, pray pos
scss your souls in patience, for awhile
longer. Out Of the abundance Of the
heart speaks our mouth and we testify of
that which we continually see and feel
The great cry rises up from the people
more furiously calamitous than ever:-
"Give us work that we may earn bread"
There has been provision made in the soup
kitchens, etc, sufficient 10 keep the hun
CRY from starving. But this, though it
might do very well in an English town,
does not satisfy our free and independent
laborers. They want TO earn bread for
themselves and their children, by the la
Dor Of their own hands, and il is of the
lack Of employment that they complain.
The Park meetings continue daily, but the
workingmen have begun properly 70 APP
p%reciate the demagogues who have en-
dcavored 10 lead them into illegal and RI
otous measures.
Some scoundrel has filled his pockets
pretty satisfactorily, ia lhia time Of ssnor-
al pressure, by extracting $685. 600 in gold
flom one Of our city banks. The vaults
were accessible from the street, and it
is supposed that the robbery must have
been effected while the porter was paying
out gold in bags, by some one who had
slipped in behind him.
The row between the celebrated puga-
list, Hyer, and.seVeral Of the same stamp,
in a drinking house, is now in process Of
investigation. He was assaulted by three
infamous characters, namely, a pugalist,
a policeman and a gambler. We don't
mean 10 give such a character to all Of
our policemen us . class, but there are
many who hold office Of the city govern
inent for the protection of honesty and
virtue, and strike hands at the same time
with thieves, rowdies and gamblerJ.-
Well, we are a model city Mayor Wood
has issued an annual message, which
promises very well indeed. One thing
which will give great satisfaction, if car
ried out, is the restriction Of the frauds
which are daily practised upon the emf
grants, landing at this point. There is a
chain of organized sharks, extending from
New York 10 the most distant point. Of

important foreigner as a lamb for the
slaughter, or rather as a sheep 10 be

neunLAs COUNTY.

It appears by a proclamation issued
from the Executive Department, that
Douglas county has swallowed up q por-
ton of Washington, the Northern line
having been extended so as 10 include
Florence.
II strikes MS that this isa most e~traord.n-
airy stretch OF Executive power. We see
no reason why it should be done, If II is
not to kill of Florence. Il was moi
enough 10 cut Off Belleview from a repre-
sentation, Florence must be decapitated too.
by was this act rcsorted too in the very
face Of the Legislature ? why was moi
this left TO the people to manage? As
here were committees appointed TO at
tend to matters Of this kind, why was il:
1aken out Of their hands ?
A petition has gone forth from the low
er part OF this county to the Honorables,
in the Council and House Of Representa-
tives, praying 10 have the county diminish
ed by cutting or five or six miles from its
Northern side. II this is done, the coun.
ty will still be twelve miles wide and
twenty miles long, which will be large
enough.
We hope the prayer Of this petition
viii be heard and grsntsd. We hope the
people, will do us justice by granting the
humble boon that has been craved. Let
it not.be done grudgingly-but literally,
and cheerfully.

THE oAss COUNTY DELEGATION.

A gentleman from Ctss county has just
called at our office, and after having sub
scribcd for the Palladium, and remarked
that IT WAS rHE PEoPLr's FRrrsD, and
should have their support -entercd into
conversation upon the subject Of the Cass
county delegation in the Legislature.
We listened with agreat deal Of interest
to the remarks Of our friend upon the char
acter and feelings Of the people Of that
place, and upon the conduct Of their dele
gates in The Legislature. 1t occurred to
us, that we should not like TO stand in
heir places when their outraged constitu-
ents call on them 10 answer for the use made
Of he pow er delegated 10 hHn. They are
looked upon as having sold the interests
Of their constituents, and having put the
price into their own pockets. Since the
days Of Benedict Arnold, nothing has ap.
peared indicating relationship more clearly
than the vote Of this delegation on the
question involving the location Of the
Capitol. The vote Of these unprincipled
tools turned the scale against the interest
Of Plattsmoulh-against the interest Of
the whole region of country, on both
sides Of the Platte river and effect
crushed the ropes cherished that
that place might be favored with the loca-
ton of the Capitol, and possess the advan-
tages which its location would afford.
We should not be surprised if the in
dignation Of tina, traduced people become
sufficiently awakened sgainstthese misera-
bic demagogues, 10 break out in open evil
dences Of contempt, if not in violence
Those men had promised to be faithful
%sen,inels over the interests with which
hey were entrusted. But instead Of
prov ing fai,hfuI to their constituents, il
appears they chose TO sell then, and put
he avails in their W pockets.
The interests Of Cass county were sold
o the friends of Omaha Ci,y-whether
for something or for nothing, it matters not
"a the people of Cass county-they were
sold, and their power and influence has
gone with it.

BRIBERY NOT BRIRERy

We perceive in the last number of the
tienntown organ, a card purporting to
have been written by JoHN A. SINGLE
TON. This card states that the Private
Secretary Of Ton Cunning did not offer him
anything as a bride to purchase his vote
on the capitol question. We are aware
hat when the four thousand dollars worth
Of Omaha City scrip was given Mr.. Sim
gleton, he was sagely informed that it was
not for a bride, and " e are also aware that
so simple a remark did not change the
character nor the intent Of so liberal a do
nation. Had some beIigerent individual
kicked Mr.. Singleton about forty-fYe rods,
puiyerizc'l his nose, and then remarked 10
him that it was not intended as an assault,
we do not imagine that he would have taken
the remark Of the beligerent customer as
a bona fde fact. And as we think that
in the latter case it would have been ac-
tually an assault intended, SO we think in
the former, bribery was meditated.
We repeat Mr.. Singleton IRA offered
a donation Of Omaha City Scrip, imagin-
stively and ~nominaiiy valued at $4,000,
and We repeat that The intention o. the do
nors vas to corrupt Mr.. Singleton, and
secure his vote, against the wishes Of bis
constituents and the dictates Of his own
conscience. We add, after Mr.. Singleton
had shown this scrip and refused to vote
for Omaha City, he was called from his
seat in the House Of Representatives to
the room Of the Acting Governor, by Mr..
Smith, the Private Secretary, and that
he then and there by request, gave up 10
the donors the intended bride. 1t is strange
that an honest man should have been so
frightened by knaves as to have done ,fal,
or 10 have subscribed his name TO SO fee
BILE and imbecile a paper as the attempted
denial in question. All that we have
written, We stand ready 10 prove, now,
tomorrow, or At any lime.
