stood by quoting from the first paragraph of its by
laws, wherein 1t is stated that the society aims, by
opposing all orthodox faith and eve rythlng which
stands in the way ofprogress, to reach the highest
degree Of intellectual liberty. The reiigiOn-M 80 it
may be called-of the members Of this society is
therefore, materlalism In It's most developed FORM
and all ideas Of Deity and things divine are secuted
and ridiculed by them matters Of fiction. For
yesterday afternoon another lecture was yl-
nounced, and on entering the ante-room our
reporter found some ten or dozen Gevinans
III earnest conversation. majority Of theYi were
pale, sicky-lookng specimens OF humanity, With dys,
peptic complexions with the usual eXuperance or
bushy hair and whiskers, and that peculiar bearing
generally affected by mock genius. They COM

historian; Mr. Marsh, American Minister at Florence,
were all mentioned AZ in warm sympathy with this

special praise as giving the coup Oe grace to the BIB

lecturer for the day, who stated MS theme
To be "The healing art in ancient
and modern times" There were about lorty persons
present in all, incI1dng seven ladies' anu boy and
girl yet In the lower ranges OF their 'teens." The
lecturer occupied about hour ami half; and, To
be Just, we only say that the largest part Of 1t
was interesting, well conceived and Instructive.
True TO the tendency of the society, 1t was also
richly interspersed with irreverent ausions to
''thin2s divine" and these only appauded. The
hom9opaLhists were rather roughly handled the lee
turer insisting that their system was based upon
lie and tiitt their practice was an absurdiy. =.

The Picayune was opposed to the recent
was opposed to all other projects for solving
the city money question; it is now opposed to
the only remaining plan-the best, perhaps,
of all-that of declining to receive city money
in payment Of taxes. If the Picayune had
some feasible scheme of its own to propose,
this persistent opposition to the plans of
others might be accounted for on some other
theory than that of chronic indisposition to
have things dons Our contemporary is per-
petually railing II theorizers, whom it seems
to regard as ths prowling hyenas roaming
among the cemeteries of error, and ravenous
for the corpses Of sanctifed abuses. Yet it
continually worries the public with all sorts
of foundationlesrf theories; and as continually
protests againsts any practical plan for the
solution of existing problems Perhaps
of all its theories the most amusing. as well
as the most pernicious, is that which assumes
the capacity ane the disposition of the So
called Legislature to act efficiently in this
matter of the Gig money and the city debt If
there is one thing more than another, in regard
to which the people of New Orleans are skep-
tical it is in regard to the capacity and dis
position of this: carpet-bag and scalawag
Legislature to do anything right and proper ;
and this skepticism is founded on the past
history Of that body which shows that it is
entirely incapable of doing anything except
what is wrong and improper. The idea of
waiting for the Legislature to act in this mat
ter is so supremely absurd, that it can scarce
ly have been suggested seriously by our con-
famporarv

IT MUST STOP.

Our readers take Iup the CRESCENT this
morning to find recorded in the local columns
two aggravated instances of boldness on
the part of the thlsves now infesting the city.
In one case, lady, defending her home
against burglars, narrowly escapes being shot
by them; in the other a gentleman going
home quietly late at night is collared by
highwayman, withsL two squares of police
headquarters, and lonly saves himself by
worsting the assaiart.
Now, if these wsre isolated cases, it would
he a bad enough yondition of affairs which
permitted them. sBut when of nightly oc-
currenos are so MANY burglaries and CARROT
ings, that the public wearies of reading them
and grows indiffebent to the recitals, unless
the evil be forcibl4 brought home to them in
dividually, it mAysafely be pronounced time
for the community to take combined and
vigorous action for the purpose of defense
against the prowling gangs who render life or
property unsafe. and daily become more
audacious in their. offenses. Attracted hither
by the widespread reports of an inadequate
police force, bold I'm the consciousness that
no charges of being suspicious or dangerous
characters can have weight against them, and
that though notorious, they may yet with i'm
punity plot villainy under the very noses of
the authorities so long as undetected in any
overt act, these fellows, by the hundred, are
on our streets, comparatively secure from
molestation, and swapping their fingers in the
faces of honest men.
This community demands, and must have,
q cessation of this order of things. Eight
years of disquietude have taught us how to
appreciate what We have at the present right
to expect, well-governed city. There is
power enough in the people of New Orleans
to unearth and incarcerate, or expel. within
twenty-four hours, every professional thief
found within the city limits. 1t is power
which should not be causelessly aroused; but
the provocations Of to-day are aggravated, and
must be stopped in some way.
