THE CAPITAL OF THE SoUTH--It
is amazing how the events OF the
war have all tended, great and small,
to tie concentration OF population
and business in New Orleans. Where
all the people come tron, we trow
not. 1t is said that all the other
cities of the late ConfGderacy are
equally full and lively. We only
know that they are here, from 'Ir-
ginia and Georgia and the Carolinas
and Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Arkansas and Missouri, as well as
from Mississippi, Florida and Texas.
The Crescent City is now, IN fact,
the Mecca of all true SOutherncrs.
And the concentration of business
here is amazing. lfnny body wants
anything throughout the length
and breadth OF the South, they come
straight to New Orleans. If they
have anything to sell, they come
here to get the best prices for it.
And if they wish to see any one,
hither they come, and they hnd all
the world here. Our direct Europe
an trade, which takes out straight
to market whatever We have to send,
and brings in whatever Of groceries
or merchandise we wish to buy, is
doing everything for New Orleans.
The people who made war upon us
have killed the goose that laid the
golden egg, and henceforth we are
commercially independently u
Picdyune.

TrxAs NOT LEFT OUT.-It will be
perceived that the brief telegram
received Monday night in relation
to the Presidents late proclamation,
was in error as far as the sup
posed "leaving out in the cold" Of
Texas was concerned. Texas is "a
State, aud is as much in the Union
as any other State either North or
South. 1t will be perceived by the
text of the proclamation, which we
give-saving only the errors which
occurred in transmission-that the
insurrection is declared at an end
throughout the entire South, and
that all the States Of the Union are
regarded as placed on an equal foot
ing as to political rights. Further
more it it declared that standing
military occupation, martial law,
military tribunals, and the suspen-
sion of the privilege of the writ OF
habcas corpus are, in time of peace,
dangerous to public interest, and in.
compatible with the individual
rights of citizens, contrary to the
genius and spirit of free institutions.
and an exhaustion of the national
resources, and ought not, therefore

Your readers will remember that
not only for few days after the as
sassination, but for some weeks af'
forwards, the minds Of the military
authorities here were in state OF
great excitement, As for the sub
ordinates, the detectives whose wits
were skarpened by the hope of win
ming the reward, and the individ.
uals who joined in the pell nell
scramble and the wild hunt after
Booth, they were excited to that
extent that they were more like
madmen than reasonable creatures.
They jumped at once to the conclu-
sion that Booth was the assassin,
and that the individual who WAS
skulking in the swamps of the lower
Potomac, must be Booth. 1t never
seems to have occurred to them that
the two persons who were tracked
through those swamps, and who fl
nally were caughtin the barn, might
have been dccoys, to lead the pur-
suers of the murderer on the wrong
scent
But that is tho idea that begins to
prevail here now. 1t is known that
Booth was we'll supplied with funds,
and it would have been easy for him
with his skill and address as an &C
tor, to have disguised himself, to
have quietly left Washington on
any of tho trains that left here on
the day after the murder, "made
up" as a preacher, an old man orin
any other character, and to have
reached Canada without obstruction.
That he really did so, there are pe--
sons here who now believe. 1t will
be remembered that the party who
surrounded the two men in the barn
were so excited that they did not
know what they were about; and
that Boston Corbett, the man who
shot one of tho poor wretches, has
since been proved to be little better
than lunatic. Tho party was
numerous; thcy had entirely sur
rounded the barn; the escape of the
man inside was impossible (after
one of the two had come out and
surrendered } for they kept him in
view all the time, and could see all
his motions. They could have thus
detained him as a close prisoner I'M
til morning, by which time addi-
tional reinforcementS could have ar
rived, and the man been easily taken
alive. But no; the valorous Boston
Corbett must shoot at him through
the cracks of the logs, and thus the
poor wretch was killed.
Now, if it was Booth, why was
he not shown? There were hun
dreds of people here who knew
Booth, and many came and offered
to identify the body. But not one
of them was allowed 10 see it. 1t
was kept secluded from view and
closely guarded. 1t was never ident.
fed az the body Of Booth, and it
was finally destroyed, not buried,
in order that it might never be
identified. Surely where identified
tion was so easy, the authorities
committed great blunder in not
having the body of this man ident-
flied. The man who has been ar
rested under the assttmed name Of
King, and who declares that he is
the man who shot Mr.. Lincoln, is
said to be on the way here now
If he adheros t. his story. he will
no doubt be able to produce some
witnesses to corroborate his state
ments. kINDERHooK.

With reference to the use Of els

With reference to the use Of cis-
tern water as preventive of chol-
era, the Houston Telegraph says;
In 1882, cholera visited the settle
ments of the Brazos. Most OF the
people used river and creek water.
On Gulf Prairie at the residence OF
Mr.. Westall, there was a good cis-
tern. Some thirty or forty people
remained there during the cholera,
and not a case appeared. Every
where else it prevailed.
ls4S 40 and so, cholera visited
many places in Texas. IL was
brought to Houston. and wherever
bayou water was used it spread and
was fatal, but did not prevail as an
epidemic, anything like yellow fe-
yer. In the same years It spread
through the country towns. In
Brazoria county the experience oi
1882 was repeated. Several hun
dred negroes died who had no &C
cess IN cistern water, but it did not
prevail where pHre water was used
In Western Terss, generally, tbs
experiences was the same.

President Waskom's report, and OF
the harmony and good feeling which
prevailed among the stockholders
at the recent Louisville meeting
Considering the immense endow.
ment of the road by the State of
Texas, the rapidly increasing popu-
lation of that State, the abundance
of labor and provisions, and other
advantages, the enterprise is re-
garded as more promising than that

nent. This road runs west, in the
very centre Of the cotton belt; it is
free from the SHOWS and engineer
ing difficulties which present them
selves on all the more northern
routes, and already California line

In view Of these facts, st. Louis has
been advised to abandon her strug-
giles for a central route at present,
and running down through Ka 'sas

TuE STOCKTON CAsE.-k Trcntor

The STOCKTON CAsE.-A Trenton
correspondent of the New York
World says intelligence constantly
pouring in shows that the expulsion
ex-senator Stockton has kindlcd n
fire of Indignation in the popular
heart of New Jersey. II isa long
time since the State has been in such
u tempcstuous condition. and never,
within the memory of living man,
has she experienced such Il terrific
political Gonvulsion IN that which is
at present shaking her to the very
centre. When the news Of the ex-
pulsion reached Trenton, the public
mind WAS appalled,. 1t seemed an if
some great calamity had befallen
not only the State but the nation.
All the citizens, except few of the
Radical stripe, felt as if an open, un-
iustifiable insult had been given to
New Jersey. The effect on the Leg.
islature, then in session, wa, very
great. The Democratic members
openly denounced the transaction
and determined on retaliation, while
the joy of the extreme Racicals ex.
pressed itselfin the friskiest manner
possible. They held cautas and
determined to proceed with the e!ec.
tion of Senator. The lower House
passed a resolution calling fora joint
session; but when the matter was
brought before the Senate, that body
arrested it by the vote Of the Speak
er. This was the theme Of great
Radical Indignation. But it Could
not be helped. The Radicals have
majority Of thirteen in both
Houses, but it is supposed that some
of them will not vote with the party
on this question. In the event Of
no joint session being held, the elec.
tion will have to be postponed till
next January. But that is not
probable. Galveston Neus.
