AMUsEMENTs.

ACADEMY OF MusIc.-To-dayswil be gala day
for the juve miles, for it witnesses the first variety
matinee performance offered them this season
Who that in seasons past has attended these
matinee performances. but remembers the scene
presented in the cozy little theater-the brilliant
gas light contrasting with the sunlight without the
strains Of music from the orchestra, the confused
whIrr and whispering of hundred little voices,
the ringing laughter Of hundred more. the
shaking o. fans and waving of handkerchiefs and
the numbers Of happy little faces. bright with
innocence and delight. All, could scene be
more charming, Well, to day We hope to see
just such aDother-for there will be q series of
performances, well calculated to please, and there
who cannot go at noon. we would certainly advise
to repair the omission by going to see the same
performance repeated in the evening.
VARIETIEs.-No Claude Melnohe could ever
more eagerly implore to be placed where France
most needs q n an than did he of last evening as
personated by Mr.. Sheridan, nor could any fair
Pauline ever greet her returning lover with
sweeter smiles than did she whom Josie Ortou so
beautifully represented. Elm fact it is pleasure
to see the Lady Of lyons played as il was last
which sustained it, all the accessories of stage
effect combined to aid the representation. To the
garden scene there was, for instance, full dis
play Of marble statuary, which conduced mate
rally TO producing pleasing effect. Mr.. Ryer as
Col. Dumas, Mr.. Kalton as Mons. Bedusant Mrs.
Seymour IS the Wido,o Melnohe, and Mrs. Pres
ton as Nine Deschappeites, merited commenda-
ton in their several parts. A flower dance by
Mile Theresa, and the farce of the Wandering
Minstrel, /" with Vining Bowers as Jem Bags, con-
cluded the entertainment. To-day the Saturday
matinee, so large " patronized last week, will be
the occasion of the repetition Of that beautiful
piece, the "Hunchback," and tonight the Shaks.
pearian season will be inaugurated by the pre-
sentation Of that great historical tragedy erich
ard iii" in which Miss Gray and Mr.. Sheridan
assume the leading characters.

GOV. SEYMOUR ON THE STUMP.

The appearance Of Gov. Seymour on the
stump in the present canvass, if somewhat
out of the line of party usage, is in itself both
fit and suspicious. In fact, party usage has,
in this instance, operated very perniciously in
keeping the first name ON the ticket in the
background, when it should have been kept
steadily and conspicuously in the foreground
up to the full height of its significance.
The nomination was by reclamation, thrust
upon Gov. Seymour as the foremost states
man of This party. He had already given ex-
preston of his Independent judgment as to
the questions before the country and as to
the best methods of meeting the exigencies of
the campaign. 1t was well known that he
deprecated as futile and inconsequential what
is called the "greenback theory" believing
that the substitution of an honest and Geo.
nomical financial policy in place of Radical
extravaganza and proAigacy, was the only
way to relieve tax payers and to render justice
to all classes of public creditors, whether cur
rency holders or bondholders. 1t was well
known that he was indisposed to have the
Democratic party committed, in advance of
events, to special expedients and processes
which future contingencies might condemn as
inapposite or impracticable, and that he
proposed to so shape the Democratic side
of the controversy as to make the
result turn upon the merits of sweeping and
trenchant indictment of Radical policy, as
illustrated in wanton usurpation of power,
in abominable acts of despotism, in the
scandalous and horrid fruits of reconstruc-
ton, in frightful expenditures of the public
money, and in the imminence of national
bankruptcy. 1t was thus that he proposed to
make proselytes and gain the recruits neces-
sary for success.
When, therefore, Gov. Seymour was nomi
mated, the ticket with him at its head, along
with the accompanying platform, whatever
else it might seem to mean, meant unequivo-
eally this one thing: Gov. Seymour indorsed
by the Democratic convention and recon-
mended to the suffrages of the people in his
full stature as the wisest statesman of the
party, as q frank and eloquent patriot who
had freely spoken his views and was pre-
pared to abide by them and to exemplify them.
Hence it is to be regretted that his voice has
not heretofore been heard in the canvass; and
hence the eminent fitness and auspiciousness
of his appearance at this instant on the
stump.

According to the true returns of the cleo
ton in Indiana, the Democrats elected five
members out of the eleven-a splendid gain
over the Radical apportionment which allowed
them only one district. They lose one men,
bar, however, by the bare-faced fraud of
Radical returning officers, who threw out one
poll in the fourth district so as to give the
certificate to Julian. On the face of the re-
turns, Reid lDem.1 was elected by So major
ity, in spite of the importation of hundreds
of voters from Illinois. By this act eleven
hundred voters were DISTINGUISHED, and the
majority against Hendricks was augmented
about 200 votes.

REGiSTER,

The law provides that the registration of
voters shall end nine days before the election
Tomorrow will be the 25th, and the 18th is
the ninth day before the election; but as it will
also be Sunday we presume that the registra-
ton offices will close tonight We, there
FORE beseech all of our friends who have not
yet performed this important and necessary
duty to avail themselves of this last opportu-
nifty. Remember that you cannot vote unless
you are registered. Remember that your old
registration papers are of no use to you. Re-
member that every Democratic vote is re-
quired, if not to carry the State for the Demo-
cratic ticket, at least to swell the majority with
which the people of Louisiana will proclaim
their condemnation of the infamous recon-
structio1 policy which inflicted upon them a
curse so great that in comparison with it
all other political calamities are mild
and gentle. Let US show to the Democratic
party that we are not unrnindful of the obliga-
tons which we owe to the friends and allies
who have espoused our cause. Let us show
to the Republican party that we are firmly re-
solved to repudiate their doctrines and their
policy, and that their scheme to subordinate
these States to their plans and to make them
subservient to their ambitious purposes, is
complete and humiliating failure.
In order to snow what our friends in the
country are doing, and how nobly they re-
sponded to the call which is made upon
them, we publish the following from letter
which has just been received at this Office from
prominent gentleman in one of the neighbor-
ing parishes parish which polls very large
VOTE and which gave heavy Radical majority
at the April election:
Everybody registers. There is scarcely
white man that has not come up, some of
them walking twenty-five miles. If New Or
leans will do her duty we can elect Mr.. Hunt
certain. The people of the country will as
tonish you when the returns come in. There
were hundreds of whites who never registered
before. They have done so now. Then those
who were DISTINGUISHED have registered. Also
there are many negroes who will vote Demo-
cratic"
Register Democrats! Register! Do not
let the country excel you in devotion. We
want at least $4,000 Democratic votes in New
Orleans; we want at least 10000 Democratic
majority. We must beat the two carpet-bag
candidates for Congress, Sypher and Sheldon,
and we must beat them by the vote of the city
alone. If we defeat both of these, and we
can defeat them, Louisiana will, probably,
send an undivided Democratic delegation to
the Forty-6rst Congress. We must do every
thing in our power to strengthen the Demo-
cratic side in that body, and we must make it |
sure that Louisiana cast her electoral vote for |
Seymour and Blair.

ARTICLE NINETY-NrNE.-The following is the
ninety ninth article of the Constitution, which
Baker and his coadjutors are so persistentIy
and williully trying to set at naught:

persons who shall have been convicted of trea.
son, perjury, forgery, bribery, or other crime

its enemies, giving them aid or comfort, but who
have not expatrated themselves, nor have been
convicted of any Of the crimes mentioned in the
first paragraph of this article hereby restored
to the said right, except the following: Those
who held office, civil or military, for one year or
more, under the organization styled :" the Confed-
crate States of America !" those who registered
themselves as enemies of the United States : those

1t should be remembered that, at the ensu-
ing election, we vote not only for presidential
ever may be the result of the presidential
election, it is important for the Democratic
party to carry a majority in the next House of
Representatives. Our friends in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana have already gained
nine members for us. 1t is quite possible
that, with the aid of the South, we may
throw the Radicals into a minority. We
should make every exertion to contribute to
this result. Louisiana must send five Demo-
cratic members to the next House.

Every vote lost to the Democratic ticket is
a vote to sustain the odious government of
the BODYBUILDING aristocracy-a vote to plum

ing capitalists; vote for ruinous tariffs and
destructive taxes; a vote to pay debt in gold
which is due only in greenbacks. To vote
against these plundering schemes you must
vote the Democratic ticket; and to vote the
Democratic ticket you must register. Remem-
