NEW ORLEANS AND Her PRESS DIsGRACED
AND DISHoNoRED!

3 u . u
Everybody who ever read that odd and whimsi-
cal little sheet, the Baton Rouge Comet, is aware
Of its chronic propensity for Joking in small
way. If it sometimes gets off facetious article
that is somewhat unintelligbe, the point Of which,
in fact, is not quite SO plain as pikestatf, no
matter, that is to be expected; where popularity
is made business of, an occasional failure is in
eyitable for it is as impossible that constant and
neyer-faling flow offunnyness Give may be allowed
to coin word appropriate to this subjecD should
be kept up from one source, as that small streams
should gable on uninterrupted in dry weather.
We had supposed, however, that it was out OF the
question for our eccentric contemporary at Red
Stick to take serious view of any subject, and
experienced little establishment on finding in it
an article occupying about column and half OF
its valuable space, and commencing in the follow
ing portentous style:
DIsHoNoRED AND DIsGR4oED.-Last week most
disgusting and beastly sight was tolerated in New
Orleans which we would fain pass over as foul
strain and blotch on the record, and disfonor to
the State but from the fact that 1t thrusts isel
upon u.s. like the blood stains on the garments 20, OF
the murderer and there is not water enough in the
heavens above, or the earth beneath to wash II
ont-we are forced to notice tilt Is lndelible.
An English and an Irish dog walking each on their
hind legs and having the outward sembance OF
nobIer beast, have been permitted to fight for a
purse of greasy dollars, in sight OF the municipal
authorities and some thousand men and women,
| in the city of New Orleans
What foul strain and blotch'f may mean we
wot not. but that which follows this mysterious
| and no doubt injurious attack upon the Record Is
| fearfully significant. The Comet man says that
ga most disgusting and beastly sight, tolerated
in New Orleans thrusts itself upon US like the
| blood stains on the garments OF the murderer
! etc. and then we learn that this monstrous spec
tacle was fight between :" an English and an
Irish dog walking each on their hind legs Curious
how each could walk on his own and the others
hind legs, and fight in that singular posltlon too.
1 We knew that there was dog hghtln cockpit
somewhere on st. Charles street few days ago,
and that greasy dollars were staked on the result
| but we had no idea that they walked into each
other on their mutual hind legs, nor did we dream
that the Comet man was present, or we certainly
should have waited at the door until ne came out,
| at the conclusion Of the canine tnssle, ana prot
fered him the editorial Inequalities of the Crescent
office.
He evidently has, or thinks he has, cause to be
seriously offended with the editorial fraternity Of
New Orleans So far as we can learn he DID not
shake hands with, drink with nor recognize a
single member of that rather respectable but con-
vigial body during his sojourn here on nus recent
sporting expedition, but was oil, bag and baggage,
SO soon as the dog fight was over. The explana-
ton of this hostility may perhaps be found IN the
following paragraph from the article alluded 70
| above:
1 The Picayune is passive and eharaeterless
b giving place to anything that comes to IT, or goes
ON before it, The Bee has no editorial on TINS SUP
jeet but allows its local to dress the opscenty IL
the most acceptable garb for the swell mob. Inc
Crescent has lost the dignity staIt ~, gu. WIN
and has arrived, by regular stages, at the common
dead level The Delta and Courier are too hare
at work for administration Democracy 10 deso1e
| more than passing notice; whilst the true Delta
eharacterless it is, devotes large space 70 Us
fight, adorned with an attractive head, and dis
gusting details!
When the next dog fight comes of the services
of the detective police will be put in requsitlon t
place the New Orleans press gang on their guaft
, against intruders Of this dangerous sort.
