also notify all taxpayers that the law makes full
provisions for the correction of all errors of Asses
sors as follows:
Section 81. Any person conceiving himself ar

A terrible accident recently occurred at
an alarm of fire. and twenty persons were
crushed to death by the frantic efforts of the
audience to escape. Messrs. Spaulding and
Bidwell do not intend that any similar ca
lamity shall ever happen at their popular
theatre in this city. The means of egress
from their Academy were always superior
to those of large majority of American
theatres, but not satisfied with even this
superiority, large force of workmen are
engaged in extending and rearranging the
exits, sothat tits estimated a crowded house,
Ito use an expression which all understand
can escape from the building within five
minutes, should such hasty evacuation
become necessary. This Characteristic
thoughtfulness for the comfort and safety of
his patrons will win for Manager Bidwell a
proper reward from an approaching public.
Great improvements in the stage, giving
increased height and depth, are also being
effected, and frst-class,, artist will spend
the remainder of the summer months in
painting new and retouching the old
scenery.
The doors OF this popular public resort
will be thrown open to our citi-
zens by the fourteenth September proximo,
and one of the strongest Ethiopian bur
lesque and minstrel troupes ever organized
is to occupy the boards. Billy Emerson,
long time favorite In New Orleans, will be
chiefengineer ofthe burnt cork department,
and this fact gives satisfactory assurance
that Bidwelrs new collection of rich, rare.
and racy performances will be rendered
with the very best effect.
Aud next comes the world.renowned
American circus, which carried away the

world-which during the recent Paris Ex-

The Democratic papers continue their
outpourings of wrath upon the Governor IS
letter to the President.
We will not waste time and space by
replying specially to the points they make,
for we conceive that logic would be wasted
upon journals which, like the Picayune,
attempt to justify the murder of Small in
such language as the following:
So it seems that Mr.. Small, in Franklin,
had suppressed the information which he
could have given young man, a former
confederate soldier, who was killed some
Time ago by some persons who are Classed
as Unionists. If he had not concealed this
information, which it is charged he did as
an aecomplice, that young man could have
avoided the ambuscade in which he was
killed.
In other words, if citizen "suppresses
information he could have given young
man. the sweet thing is TO assassinate
him.
81 We repeat what weshave already said in
these columns, that the letter of Gov
ernor Warmoth is founded in fact. 1t
was written on the interests of
peace and not politics. Its state
ments are vouehed for by some of Che most
prominent men in the State, of both parties
Mr.. Hudspeth, who writes in regard to St.
Landry, is a Democrat, and this is what the
Governor says in his letter on that head.

In addition, we have the statements of
such Republicans as Judge WHY, Mr.

honor Is above reproach, and whose resi-
dence in Louisiana is long enough to satisfy
the most inxeterate foe of new corners.
We give in another column an abstract
of some Of the statements on this painful
subject, and from time to time we shall
add others. : The committee of the Legisla-
ture is taking testimony. and that will be
published in due time. We take no pleas
sire in dwelling upon such topic. We
presume the Governor takes no pleasure in
the contemplation of this CHASTITY list Of
outrages. Dut journalists have duties which
can not be sfurfed over, and still more has
the Governor duties which he is not able
to ignore.

Letter to the President
The following statements of the murders
and outrages which have occurred in the
country parishes, as taken from letters, Pc
titions, etc., which have been received at
the Governors Office will, we believe, fully
justify the statement made in Governor
WarmOth's letter to the President, that one
hundred and fifty murders have been COM
mitted in the country parishes within the
last month and half In addition to
these statements we are informed that there
are Others of similar character in the
Governors possession, showing the law
lessness Of the country parishes that
he is daily receiving complaints from
Union men that unless something is done
to protect them against rebel malice it will
be impossible for them to live in the
country.
We also learn that in many instances the
old officers refuse to surrender to the newly
elected, which increases the difficulties of
living in the country, and encourages the
already too extensive reign of terror.

mand of proper officers, there will be found
more safety to the South than in one humid
red armed freedmen!
Certainly, let us have peace That is
what we want. 1t is what the Republican
party wants and means to have, if it has
to fight for it, as the Irishman said. No
war nor battles sound do the Union men
of this country want to hear. They want
peace and the arts of peace" They wish
to adjourn every political question to the
arena Of free discussion. If this is at
tempted to be put down by riots and
bloodshed in the South, " let the Governors
of the States, through the General of the
armies demand the interposition of Federal
troops for safety'-precisely what Gov
ernor Warnoth has done, except that he
has applied to the President, as the Consti-
tuition requires, instead of the general of
the armies for such interposition. The
Times is, of course, pleased with this part
of Blackburn's speech since no dissent
from it is offered.
We trust our neighbor will not take all
this back within twenty-four hours but
knowing the treachery OF his memory, we
are not without some misgivings on the
subject!
