The London journals have a new case of
scandal on hand, quite as piquant in its de-
tails as those of the Blakely case. The
drdTldtts persona are Madam Rachel (alias
LeveIson), Mrs. Borradalie, and my Lord
Ranelagh. Madam Rachel is charged by
Mrs. BOrradalie with obtaining various sums
OF money from her, on the pretense of max
Ing her beautiful forever and other alleged
fnisrepres entations. Counsel for plaintitf,
opening the case, said:A 1al't
Prosecutrix became acquainted with
Madam Rachel in 1866 and it was arranged
that she should by some chemical process,
known only To- herself, be made beautiful
forever, and after that contract q noble
alliance. To carry out such an advan-
tageous agreement, of course Mrs. Bora
dale was not backward when applied to
for some money BY the defendants, and In
very short space Of time 4l000 changed
hands. Subsequently the prosecutrix was
introduced by Madame Rachel to q gentle
man who she said was Lord Renelagh, but
who for private reasons did not wish to be
known as Lord Ranelagh, but as Captain
William Edwards. Several letters passed
between the parties. While the correspond
ence was going on Madame Rachel told the
lady that fl400 was needed for volunteering
purposes, and that sum, as soon as she be-
came his wife, would be repaid. Some
property was sold out BY solicitor named
Haynes, and various sums we're advanced,
oVuickltuSb Nv 5OuAttultb LIS, IN bH6 D61eI
that she was carrying on a matrimonial en-
gagement with the real and not the bogus
Lord Ranelagh. i Subsequently Madame
Rachel told the lady as she was about to be
come Lady Ranelagh a certain amount i'm.
diamonds would be wanted for the wedding.
The prosecutrix advanced E14O0. Then
there were wedding dresses purchased
at the suggestion Of Madame Rachel,
and such was the credulity . Of the.
poor dupe, that in a short time certain per-
ties succeeded . in stripping her OF every
shilling she had, the total amount not being
less than $4,000. The letteru referredto
read, and contained some Of the most arrant
nonsense that it Is possible to conceive. In
some OF them the writer designated tile
prosecutrix as ''my own darling beloved
Mary 2 and in another she was apostro-i
phised as his 4heart's delight ssadored
one,f etc, One of these really ridiculous
epistles wound up With the following
Words.ls8 Fl-LI afa ~ Eagl- fA9
+. Il will let you know all when hear from
you, my hearts life. Bear up,my loved one,
and shall be at your feet, those feet that
love, and you may kick your ugly old
donkey. Tive letters, Haughty little pet,
and you have not answered. one. You are
in SORROW about your brother. With fond
and devoted love, yours till death,

A new tariff of charges for commissions
on sales, receiving and forwarding, dray-
age, tares, weights and measures, freigbts,
etc. has been prepared by the Chamber
of Commerce. A very material reduction
from the rates prescribed by the old sched-
ule is effected thereby, which may be re-
garded as fortunate circumstance for the
general business interests of the Crescent
City. It is a complaint of long standing
and frequent repetition among up-river
shippers, planters, and others having trade
relations with our merchants, that the fees
and commissions charged have been here
tofore of a most exorbitant character.
Yet, while this present reduction my
be taken as partial confession
to the truth of these accusations,
it is likewise the very best kind of
evidence that our business men desire to
do what is right and Just for their friends
and patrons. A new spirit is being de-
veloped in our merchants most com
mendable desire to make money by doing
large business with moderate charges
rather than to screw every picayune possible
out of whatever may come into their hands.
The new infusion of carpetbag go-a-head-'
a-tiveness, which is certain to follow the
reinauguration of civil government in Leu
isiana, will soon effect thorough reform
of all the old fossil notions in the way Of
conducting cuisines. ..- --.r
The grain brokers'and public weighers
at a recent meeting resolved not to transact
business on he levee after three O'Clock
each afternoon, the arrangement to con-
tinue in force from July 4 to September Is.
A very good plan for the dull menths Of
the heated term.

Neighbor Bulletin takes us to task with
much severity upon one Of our articles Of
the second. 1t pardons little something
to be sure, to our rawness, and the want Of
experience incident to recent importation
but yet admonishes us with the tone and
air popularity attributed to near relatives
of collateral branches Of the ascending line
in Germany, or, to speak vulgarly, of Dutch
uncles, when imparting instruction.
We accept our neighbours kindly gratuit-
Gus advice in the matter of our editorials
with due thanks, humiliation, and abase-
ment; but with all Difference to his supe-
rior age, wisdom, and familiarity with the
manners and customs of the community,
we submit that the Bulletin misinterprets.
rather willfully too, it seems to US, the Ian
guage Of the article referred to. The spirit
in which we wrote it was very far
from one of bravado or encouragement to
strife. 1t is true that the events of the
previous day had recalled very wildly to
our memory certain facts in the recent his
tory of Louisiana which are notorious in
the whole civilized world, and some of
which were recorded a matter of two years
ago on the inner and outer walls of the
building in which one of the Bulletin
editors daily sits as Senator. In
view of these facts, and of the
assurance very plainly readable If
the faces of the mob on Wednesday
that no appeal to mercy would restrain for
a moment the purposes Of that mob, patent
to everybody,t to repeat on larger scale
the horrors of 1866, we ventured to sug-
gest in our deprecations of violence that
the luxury of wholesale butchery of Radi-
cal Union men was likely to be some
what more expensive commodity in this
community in future.
The Bulletins idea that all the Union
men here could be wiped out before out
side aid could reach them is possibly cor
rect. His "arithmetics is good" perhaps.
He too, however, may have left an element
out of his calculation, and that is the des-
peration of freemen conscious of con-
forming to every requirement Of law, and
threatened with the determination of every
dearest right, including life itself.

DefraudlnE Laborers A. Texas,

the following from the Galveston Badletin
shows the necessity not only for continue
ance Of the Bureau system, but more
energetic enforcement of the laws enacted
as safeguards for the men who really pro
duce.the wealth Of the country. The par.
taken In the transaction BY General Nc
Laughlin is highly creditable to that officer,
while the conduct Of most OF the other
parties named is open to severe eensure:
The Scripture phrase, the laborer Is
worthy Of his hire, does not seem to apply
to Texas, at least not to the vicinity Of
Marshall. As we do not care, for reasons
fttoo numerous to mention, to use names
in this recital, we shall designate the
parties interested " BY the letters of the
alphabet. 1I t ha 2
1tseems that in the early part Of last Feb.
ruary Brevet Brigadier General Mclaughlin,
commanding post at Jefferson, was applied to
as the nearest United States officer BY some
negroes for assistance, they representing
that they had worked during the year 1867
for Messrs. A u B, planters, and that they
could obtain no settlement; that they were
to receive onethird Of the crop and board.
The cotton, l54 bales, was stored with c &
d, merchants at Jefferson General Nc
Laughlin forbade the crop to be shipped IN.

cotton was sold to & + for eleven cents,

ing the proceeds. The whole matter seems
to have travelled in q circle. Fearing that
they would be forced to settle anyhow, the
bill Of sale was made out at eleven cents.
y 4 +, the purchasers, seem to have been
acting IN good faith. They Immediately
stopped the cotton. The payment OF the
draft was stopped both blythe General and
by the shippers. The General then conf
menced an examination Of the accounts,
which occupied three days, at the end Of
which one ofthe parties (Mrg AZ nnder the

freedmen suffering all the willis from GELD
and hunger. As the General was geing to

chant agreed 70 receive the deposit, and
in the event Of lite not being made, 70 be

stances, the draft vas released. After

an order from General 0Eifia. N

qTbats the way the money goes.' In
response to a reqnest from the Senate, Sec
rotary McCulloch recently made a state
ment showing the moneys turned into the
Treasury as the proceeds of property
seized, condemned, and confscated under
theac of July II, 1862, and the astounding
fact is disclosed that the entire amount falls
short of s13O,00O
The different lots of property sold to
realize this pitiful sum are situated in the
District of Columbia, Northern New York,
Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky, East
Tennessee, East Missouri, Southern Ohio,
Louisiana, Indiana, Michigan, and Arkan-
sas. The real estate confscated and sold
in the city of New Orleans alone exceeds
in value the whole amount returned as
above shown; and 1--we are glad to see that
the Republican members of Congress ap-
pear determined to thoroughly investigate
the subject which has thus been opened.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-05

The Democratic press of the country is
still harping on the lack Of enthusiasm
manifested over the nomination of Grant
and Colfax, and trying to extract for them
selves therefrom little cold comfort. Are
they really SO put to it for means of at
lacking the Republican nominees, or do
these editors in the innocence and guile
lessness of their Democratic hearts Sc
Eiously imagine that there is an important
Eifni6cance in the fact? Do they not
know that the Republican party is com
posed of honest, quiet, sober, industrious
citizens, who do what they have to do for
the Advancement of their principles in an
unostentatious but very untiinching and ef-
fective manner? They do not care to toss
up their hats and rend their linen
over a candidate whose name even
they had scarcely ever heard the day be-
fore. No, they leave all such folly for
their Democratic brethren, whom practice
has made perfect. Republican pOlicy-as
illustrated in this very case OF General
Grants to select man whose record is
known to even the humblest recruit, and
whose future course has guarantee in an
honorable and patriotic past. When the
selection has been made, they go earnestly
to work, convince all doubters that be is
the most Mt ana proper person for Inc
position designated, and elect hint The
Republicans provide good, strong, whole
some food, while the Democrats offer the
people nauseous pin ana try to make \
PalataBle by gliding.
Nov, we venture prediction, viz: that
the enthusiasts manifested over the notnin-
ees of the New York Convention
will al least equal that displayed
on any previous similar occasion.
1t makes not bit Of difference who may
be the candidate or what the pIatferm
contains, the enthusiasm will not be whit
the less. Chase and universal suffrage
Pendleton and reputation, or Seymour
and gold bonds, will be swallowed with
equal greediness BY the true Democrat. A
torchlight procession, a barbecue, and q
bottle Of '.r9d.eyen will at any time con-
vince him that he is saving the country 1;
and be fights with equal zest and courage
