Academy Of Music.


While in one of our street cars a few days
ago, | overheard conversation between
two elderly gentlemen, on the present
political aspect of affairs in our state.
They were both quite respectable in per.
sonal appearance, and evidently belonged
to that class easily identified as the waning
chivalTy.
These desponding old gentlemen uttered
several profound predictions in regard to
the future determination of Republican
politics and all concerned herewith in this
state; but as they have proved to be false
prophets in so many instances within the
last ten years, was not very uneasy in my
seat and therefore enjoyed the entertain
ment hugely. 1t was not long after the
conversation began when discovered that
familiar old ass, arrayed as usual in the
habiliaments Of the lion. One remarked
that he feared the constitution would be
adopted. The other replied with the most
solemn emphasis that if ii was there could
be no living here, meaning of course those
who are of his way ofthinking. On hearing
this expression my mind was at once
carried back to the scenes of the July riot of
1886, and the circumstance OF a glitterinl
revolver in the hands of an insolent and
brutal policeman, fourished over my head
and thrust in my face, accompanied with
threats OF instant death, and for no other
reason than that he suspected me of being
in sympathy with the Republican or Union
party. Iwould like TO say to these men
that in view OF what has passed and what IS
now taking place, it is clear that if any
party has grounds of apprehension lest the
other should aeeede to power in this state,
it is the Republican.
Indeed, iegard 1t as one of the absolute
necessities Of the times that the Republican
party should ascend to power in this state.
These braying prophets need have no fears
but that they can live here in perfect Sc
eurity when the Republican party comes in
power, which will certainly be in q few
weeks at farthest. They have, however,
one great lesson to learn, that should have
been learned long ago, viz: TO respect the
opinions of others and deal Justly with their
fellew-citizens of every grade.
The time haspa SD when menin thise0nn-
try can arrogate TO themselves rights and
privileges they do not possess. Every tub
must stand on its own bottom In the future.

nOaneed-Great speech Of j. VViIMs
MenaTd, Esq, Of New Orleans.
ST. hART1NsvILLE, La, March %.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Yesterday was day of jubilee among the
Radicals of st. Martinsville. One thousand
Republicans rallied with flags, some Of
whom came distance of twenty-five miles.
Notice had been given that J. Willis
Menard, ESQ.,, of New Orleans, would make
4 speech on the occasion, and the people
poured IN from all quarters in carriages, on
horseback, and on foot to hear him.
The vast gathering Was called 10 order At
two o'clock by Mr., Emile Penn, and Mr..
q: Baker was requested to act as secretary,
Inc hrst business was the readiustment OF
the parish executive committee.
This being done, the chairman intro
duced the distinguished orator and states.
man, J. Willis Menard, Esq, who came
forward, and commenced by saying that he
had one fault in making a speech, and that
was he did not carry a paddock on his
mouth. He had been sent out by the com.
mittee to break old Taliaferro's back if pos.
slble, and he meant to use all the power he
had to accomplish It, The Taliaferro CLIQUE
are bent on ruling or running the Republican
party. Ihey are set Of defeated candi-
dates and disappointed applicants for office,
whose patriotism is ambition. The great
issue now before the state was between
loyalty and disloyalty.
If the colored people of this state wanted
their rights secured in the new organic law
they have but one course to pursue, and
that is to drive all division from their ranks,
to stand by each other like brothers. vote
the regular ticket of the party, and march
torwar in solid phalanx to a grand Re.
publican victory. The country has entered
upon a new era of progress. The slave
power has been buried, and freedom now
sits once more enthroned as king of the
new world. New measures, new ideas, and
new men are the requirements of the age.
Old togies must take back seats and give
way for the new young stock of America
Judge Warmoth is one of these. Though
young he is one Of the fathers of the Rep1b-
lican party of Louisiana.
1t is useless to attempt to give correct
outline of Mr.. Menard's great speech. He
set the vast audience on fire with his burn
ing words of eloquence, and was necessarily
interrupted with the most vehement ap-
piause and cheers. He has left lasting inn
preston on the minds of the people here,
and feel safe in saying that Taliaferro will
not receive five colored votes in this parish.
Yours, for Warmoth and victory,
CHARLES DUBOIS.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN
In your article headed "John MuIlaly,n
you say I'VE are aware of the power of
Celtic Imagination; we are not unmindful of
the graceful fancy which gilds even the
mendicancy of the fOinest pizzdntyy in the
'gladtd." In any sense the paragraph is not
very amiable one; but used in connection
with Mr.. Mullaly it is still more objection
able. That man has done nothing that |
am aware of to identify himself with the
Irish peasant. He comes from part of the
country where with few exceptions the
identity stands on the side of the peoples
prosecutors. He is about as much Of an
lrishman as the people he upholds here are
American. From AS TO '6S he has left no
impression on their memories for act done
or word spoken against the iron misrule
OF foreign power over his native land.
Speaking of such men, beg OF you to CON
nne your remarks within the same narrow
limits as he does his nationality give them
Southern scope if you will, but make him
no more Irish in his responsibilities than he
makes himself, and that will not be much.
1Itor one object to giving him such unmer-
tied distinction.
Yours sincerely, FRESHMAN.

nearly all the paying points reached by the present
monopoly.
The present telegraph Companies of the country
have been consolidated into one huge mono poly,
and are now earning over sz millions of dollars per
year, or over one hundred per cent on the actual
cost of their lines their present capital having been
watered over one thousand per cent.
The National Telegraph Company have a recog.
milton from the United States Government of the
Importance of their enterprise with grant of the
most valuable franchises ever conferred upon a
Telegraph Company. No competing line has ever
had the right granted by congress to this Com
pany to construct and operate lines over every Rail
road and Mail Route in the United States The posi-
ton of this Company differs from that of any com
pany ever before organized. The question of the
right OF way is forever settled.
The Stockholders of this Company can not be sold

of Congress under which this company has been
organized prohibits any transfer of the franchises
granted. hiZ
