stirring up of mems passions, and hopes, and
fears, the feverish longing for any intelligence
that may chance to throw light on the election to
come OF. the desperate efforts made individually,
as people, by our citizens, to at least throw off
from Louisiana the intolerable yoke under which
she has so long groaned the hard struggle to
believe that, in spite of all prognostics victory
might be In store for us-all these emotions and
deeds are things Of the past. The professions,
too, that from the first mighty demonstration in
sultry July, down to the last turnout, which was
that OF the Jewell Cadets, on the evening of the
I'd, have nightly filled the streets with waving
banners, and bright transpsrencies and blazing
torches; the mass meetings which, in both the

clded how the campaign should be conducted, the

isbed them.
Yes, the campaign is over-the die is cast, and
the throw is against Us. There is but left to rs
now to pocket our defeat as philosophically as
possible. Let the dead past bury its dead"
Turn our attention to the improvement of those
trade interests Of our city-such as the reduction
of wharfage dues, the present license system the
present freight charges of vessels outward bound
from this port, and the insurance question, which
have latteriy suffered materially Let us devote
ourselves to these things, and then, in spite Of
the defeat of our presidential candidates, we
ehall, with Louisiana redeemed from carpet bag
domination, yet restore her to the proud place she
held of yore.
THERE WAS A MARKED INCREASE in the attend
ance at places of amusement last evening. Now
that the suspense and anxiety of the campaign
are over, people are doubtless determined to
forget care for awhile and seek recreation. The
orchestra dress circle and boxes at the Varieties
last evening, presented spectacle which re-
minded one Of that theater's palmiest days in sea-
sons gone by, and gave pleasing assurance Of
their return.
AFEw DAYS AGO q gentleman connected with the
cotton business and well known In this city, be-
fore leaving home after dinner was advised BY his
wife that she would, that night, exchange rooms
with her mother, for some reason which she ex-
planned. All right, thought our Benedick, and
according to bis wont, he wandered about the
beer saloons, for he is fond of his beer until
late hour, and returned home brewing in bis mind
the possibility of creating rise or fall in the nan
cial market next day. Having entered his room
he proceeded TO divest himself and prepare for
bed, every now and then addressing words of
eDdearment to the supposed partner of his bosom,
who was snugly ensconced under the cover.
One kiss aroused the sleeper, when of q sudden
the occupant gave terrible shrek and Jumped
up. rushed from the room crying du uolel0, a
pdssdssin, with all her might, and pursued by the
husband, whose efforts were unavaiing to abate
her fears. From room to room, over table and
chairs, did the chase continue until the whole
house and neighborhood we're aroused and afoot,
armed and, we were going to say equipped. be.
lieving that another riot had occurred. At last,
the person who had been 80 badly frightened fell
down from exhaustion, and was surprised to see
ber son in.law instead Of midnight murderer, In.
quiring Of her how she happened to be in his
wife's bed. Matters being explained, the hus-
band was let OF with the reprimand that hereafter
he should drink less lager or remember when his
wife exchanged rooms with her mother.
We ARE SINCERELY eRrEvED to learn of the
serious. probably the mortal illness of Judge T.
L. Lemley, an old and highly esteemed member
Of the bar OF Louisiana. The Judge has been at
tackled, Q second time, with appoplexy, and Is said
to be at the point Of death.
THE REPAIRs AT THE CouRr HOUSE are still 20.
ing on with great vigor. By Saturday the
Seventh District court room and clerks Office will
be ready TO receive their occupants.
TIE CITY is exceedingly dull since the election.
TIE WEATHER we have now is genuine, de-
lghtful indian summer. The blue empyrean of
the Mediterranean may be the theme of poets
and travellers. but give US the hazy skies of an
American autumn.
