Editors of the Crescent: ~.ter in the Bee OF
the 2lst inst, over the signature of Mercator has
brought to my notice the law of the Legislature
which authorizes the issue of 100000 State bonds
conditioned that they shall not be offered on the mar
ket for sale for money, but shall be traded off for
railroad bonds, and consolidated city tax bonds.
The following is an extract from this writer's COM
muncation 4 Q
What good under heaven is to arise to the people Of Louisiana
Quixotic this. it impossible for human
mind conceive That individuals to be benefited who
hold railroad bonds and consolidated city bonds and happen
be the who make the proposed eNchngei clean enough
downright lucky will they be who the State
bonds after Gov. Wckfe has signed them. 49,
My object is to call the attention of the taxpayers
of Louisiana to this law and to have searching enqu
res made into its necessity and to let the people OF
the State understand how careless Legislature has
been of the true interests of those they have been
called on there to represent.

THE AMPHITHEA ATER.-Pr Production of the Naiad
Queen-An attraction of no ordinary description is
announced for tonight at Spaldng & Rogers Amphi-
theater The Marsh Children, of whose wonderful
talent in drama the public is now fully aware, are to
strike out in new direction, and enchant their
patrons with the fairy glories of The Naad Queen"
This, as our readers know, is ore of the greatest
scenic pieces extant, and requires nnity of train
ing and labor for its successful production That it
will be finely brought out at the Amphitheater, we
have no kind of doubt. The energy and berality of
the managers are well known, that nothing be
feared in respect to scenic detail whilst the familiarity
of the children with the piece-they having won the
highest honors in it in New York and Boson--is as
surance that they will be all right. The whole
of the seats in the theater have already been engaged
and there will be prodgious jam tonight.

number of the most influential men connected with
the 0pelousas road well as the most substantial
planters of our parish and they all expressed them
selves in very sangune terms to the early success

survey made, and other preiminares arranged. In
few days expect to publish an estimate OF the cost
of the work. and the terms upon which it can be con-

extend every assistance to the enterprise except d

present circumstances, all their available funds
