buildings in the city, including the Tribune office,
in honor Of the battle of New Orleans. II is Curl
Gus to note the changes of men with the changes
Of the times. The Black Republicans are now the
most ardent admirers Of Mr.. Jefferson and Gen.
jackson. The Black Republicans are the repre-
gentatiyes of the old Bue-Light Federasts, who
hated the sages Of Monticello and the Hermitage
beyond any other men in the world. Andrew, the
new Governor of Massachusetts, the friend of Gar
rison and John Brown, orders sautes to be fired
in honor of Old Hickory and the fellow-citze
of Mr. Seward, at Auburn, are having n grand
celebration in memory OF the glorious Sth of Janu-
ary, 1915. At the St. Nicholas Hotel, in this city
there is to be ball this evening, and notice the
names of many Black Republicans in the list of the
committee. / am not politician. As you may
know, my tastes incline to other pursuits but I
couldn't help thinking about these things. and also
speculatiDg rs to what Old hickory would do and
say in case he could be present in the flesh about
this time. fancy that he wOuld take these hypo-
critical demonstrations SO many deadly insults,
and be in favor Of hanging an Aboitionist for
every gun that was fired.
But to our'muttons, and, if you please, will

This distinguished individual came out at Niblo $

fine pecuniary thing of it. mention this important
circumstance first because it is evidently the pri-
mary consideration in brother Rarey's mind.
Nominaly the price of admission at Niblos is al

| his prices and the public was quite of getting
seat if it went early enough. But Nixon broke in
on the rule by taking half the parquete for orches
ira stalls, and Rarey went step further by reserv
ing the whole parquette and first tier of boxes.

Rarey's system is simple enough, and has beer
