and the Express says that from post mortem eXam
nation it appeared that the head was fractured from
the base of the skull to the forehead the fracture
tending all over the top of tie head. The vainy Of

Wy Vt. CHARLES THEATER.-The comedy of g London
Assurance" was very handsomely performed last
night at the st. Charles There was more attention
paid TO the scenery than is usual in that theater and
All the performers were ready and correct in their
parts Mr. Bonrcicault's Dazzle and Miss Robertson's
Grace were all that the most fastidous could require
Mr. ]. s. Brownies Sir Hacou,t and Mrs. Gladstane's
Lady Gay were most admirable. Mrs Gadstane be-
ing particularly spirited and charming in her part
MIR. Walters, doubtless helped by the excellence
that surrounded him, was better in Charles than
; usual Messrs. DeBar and Bowers as Mark Jfcddie
and Dolly Sparker, were sufficiently comical, but we
opne slightly more clownsh than the author intended
those characters to be- There's no use complaining
DeBar ,cM wear bob-tail coats in all his characters
Iaken all through, the performance was the best we
nave seen at the St. Charles for many day and we
perceive with pleasure that it is to be repeated to-
night. The popular extravaganza of the Blue
Belle in which Miss Robertson, Mile vallee and
M. DeBar appear, will be given for the afterpiece

important sessions which has or VIII soon nee IN Ao"s
We agree with our capitolian contemporary that the
laws constituting the Black Code need thorough
revision and amendment. The subject is important :
too much careful and judcious attention cannot be
bestowed upon it. Its influences reach every citizen
in the State and render all of or less inter-
ested in the enactment Of wise laws. The present
code was sufficient for its day and generation !;
but times have changed for the worse since it first
went into force superinducing necessity for radical
alterations in it. proper regard for protection and
humanity should form the basis of whatever amend
ments may be offered. .'+
The school system, outside of New Orleans unques-
tionaby demands appropriate legislation. We do not
pretend to be particularly conyersant with the sub
ect yet the fact has not escaped our attention that
the DEFICIENCIES of the system are many and deporabe
Now, here are two points, among the many that
will come up for consideration, that should not be
hurried over, much less overslaughed. They embrace
matters Of vital moment-the protection of society,
and the education of the rising generation The egis
lator who distinguishes himself by carrying through
these measures will deserve the thanks of his fellow
citizens and earn for himself high and honorable
reputation.
