The LAST NIGHT OF THE CAMPAIGN
Last night was busy one among poll
tions; committees were busily engaged at
all the political headquarters, examining
tickets, organizing vigilance and challeng-
ing committees, &c, in order that full legal
vote might be polled, and all illegal votes
be rejected. A large number of individuals
more ardent than the others, made night
bideous by their shouts for their favorite
candidate, as if determined to make the best
of the short space which intervened before
the time when enthusiasm would cease to
avail any thing.
1t is to be hoped that the election to-day
will pass off as quietly as the last one, and
as the excitement is much less, there is every
reason to believe that it will. We hops, in
our to- morrow's issue, to be able to give the
general result in the United States and this
we will be able to do, unless the vote in
some localities shall be unexpectedly close.

luton offered by DIR. Newton, requiring a
monthly report 70 the local trustees of each

Judging from the tenor of members re-
marks, the rod is still literally applied to
the backs of refractory boys who attend the
schools, and if such should be the case, an
investigation would not be out of place.

AN ACTUAL STABBING AFFAIR on FHB
DRAMATIC STAGE.-On Sunday night during
a German. theatrical performance at Concert
Hall, New Orleans, it was in the play for one
actor to stab another. The actor who lunged
the sham appearance of stabbing which the
drama required, but, in an inexcusably bung-
ling manner, actually stabbed the other actor
in the neck. This actor, Emile Seuer, is
believed to be dangerously wounded. The
other actor, George Kruger, was arrested
and locked up. sol
How could any actor who would perform
on the sacred Sabbath, expect any thing else
than death2 Doubtless the stabbing was an
humble instrument of revenge in the hands
of Divine Providence. .4....1 4.

Pdsqsiah drew an audience last night which
was a sight good for the eyes especially of
the management. The great parquette circle
were filed, and the fairer sex constituted at
least half Of the crowd; while the upper
dress circle and gallery contained their usual
proportion. The well-timed enthusiasm of
the audience testified to the admirable man
ner in which the piece was played. The
fine execution Of this opera by the orchestra,
at so short a notice, is another proof of their
excellence. Ftl

A BABooN AT LARGE IN THE STREETs.-
An exhibition of the instinct, or. we might
almost say, the reasoning faculties of the
monkey, took place ON Vine street. yester-
day. A large baboon, attached to the Palace
Garden, by some means succeeded in making
his escape from his cage, and Immediately
commenced promenading the streets, which,

large concourse of boys, one of whom Of
fered some insult to the semihuman animal
which Immediately broke through the
crowd, and pursued his tormentor until the
latter was compelled to take refuge in a mer-
camille establishment on Vine-street, and
secrete himself.
The baboon followed, climbed upon the
counter, examined all parts of the room, but
was unable to find the object of his search,
and was about to walk out, when man
who was present attempted to seize him.
The balloon Immediately caught his new
enemy, and commenced choking and biting
violently, until the poor man grew almost
frantic with rage and fear. The spectators
enjoyed the scene for some time, when, find.
ing the matter more serious than they at
first anticipated, they succeeded in securing
the animal and delivering him over to his
keeper, who had by that time arrived on
