alive audience, made up of the most
Intelligent and cultivated men and

treatment of his theme was viudica-
ton of that Divine economy which
makes men toilers upon the earth, and
of the divinity Of labor as an.agency las
well as of the nobility of man himself
as u worker. 1t was clothed with the
charms of graceful rhetoric and fine
elocutiou. DIR. Tiffany is pleasing
speaker and finds his way directly, not
only to the attention but to the hearts
OF his hearers.
Mr.. SeaGer was present and gave the
audience some excellent music, both
before and after the lecture. The piece
after the lecture was Ring the Bell;''
and being encored, he gave The LaZi-
est Man in all the Town." always evo-
king II round of applause.
DIR. Tiffany was frequently applaud
ed in the course of his lecture when he
made an unusually clever hit, or gave
utterance to sentiments strikingly no
BILE and patriotic.

By recent experiments, made in the
presence of DISTINGUISHED parties, the
great value and economy of the gas
produced by the mode adopted by the
Petroleo- Calcium Gas Light Company,
has been fully demonstrated. This is
true not only as applied to the lighting
of single residences, hotels nd racto-
ries. but also in its application to works
erected for lighting cities, where coal
alone is used in the manufacture OF gas
In the Petroleo- Calcium process OF
manufacturing gas, coal and the re-
siduum OF coal oil are used in conuec-
ton, or the residuum and lime, dispen-
sing with coal altogether. 1t has been
proved beyond doubt that two retorts- OF
the ingredients last named, will pro-
duce, IN the snme time, as much gas as
three retorts of coal, thus saving one
third of the cost of erecting and main
tanning the works. Aud then.
too, 800 feet of the Petroleo- Cal
cium gas will burn, by actual
measurement, as long as $50 feet of the
ordinary gus furnished in our cities.
Two burners using this mixed gas OF
coal, oil and lime, has an illuminating
power equal to three consuming the
city gas. If our gas companies would
adopt this new method. they could fur
nish their customers with better gas
and 20 per cent. cheaper than they now
supply, retaining so per cent. to swell
their already large profits. These facts
can be demonstrated to any one calling
at Reilly, Barnes & Hobbs Malt House.

The minority report of Mr.. Boyer on the
New Orleans riots argues the illegality OF
the convention, and states, in reviewing the
origin of the riots, that it was the acts and
deliberate intention of the conventionists
that produced the excitement which brought
out the commotion. He dissents from the
opinion of the majority that the riot was de-
iberately planned by Mayor Monroe, and
refers to the evidence to show that the first
shots were fred by anegro at a policeman. He
gives credit to Lieut.. Gov oorhes for having
originated timely precautionary measures,
which. if carried out, would have prevented
the riot and which failed from no fault of his.
He says the Presidents acts exhibit him as
the chief magistrate, actuated by a sincere
desire to preserve the public peace and up
hold the law. In no degree, whatever, are
the riots attributed to the government Of
Louisiana. If there be any members of that
government in whose act the remotest cause
for riot is to be traced, they are Judge How
ell, who headed the conspiracy to overthrow
the state constitution, and Gov. Wells, who
lent his official sanction to the conspiracy
but on the day of danger deserted his post
without an effort to restore the public peace
and if there be any members of the federal
government who are indirectly responsible
for the bloody result, they are those members
of the present congress, whoever they may
be, who encouraged these men by their coun-
sells, and promised to them their individual
and Official support.

ed from the 18th to the close of the month
NJ. Bellot states further that he has chartered
thirty more vessels for the transportation
of iron, having purchased sufficient to Law the
track from the Mississippi to the Indiana
State Line. He is now procuring the loco

of iron to lay the track of the entire length
of the road, six hundred miles, having con-
troll of abundant means for that purpose.
NJ. Bellot instructs the company to keep
the interests of the road untrammeled and
free from the control of any other company,
thereby maintaining a relation of independ-
ence which must be permanent advantage
We have not learned precisely how the
iron will be distributed for the commence.

will be landed here or divided between this

the country was shocked. The testimony
given showed money paid freely to bride wit
nesses, and proved the manufacture of the
precise testimony which was to be given
by the witnesses. They rehearsed it, as if
for dramatic performance, in their private
quarters. This they swore to afferward and
charged themselves with perjury. The
agency Of Judge Advocate Holtin this crimi.

the testimony points directly to him as the
dispenser of gold which went into the hands
of these abandoned men who accepted the

close the relation of Holt to the criminal as

The radical organs announce, as if it were
matter of vital importance, that Gen. Har.
rison c. Hobart has made speech in favor
of the constitutional amendment.
Those who are familiar with the political
idiosyncracies of Gen. Hobart are neither
surprised nor disappointed at this inteli
gence. The amendment is dead carcass
and speech over its remains is doubtless
considered a cheap method of winning radi-
cal applause. The joke was cleverly perpe
trated, and the general is not only the last
convert to the defunct amendment but a
distinguished mourner at its funeral.
We need not allege that the view adopted
by Gen. Hobart is not that of the democra.
cy, nor that of the federal administration,
nor that of the country, nor that of Gen. Ho.
