The interest among the colored Republicans
has not abated since the last election. They
feel that they have yet something to do, and
they give themselves with a will to the work

A HORSE ENTERPRIsE.-There was a ire
mendous quadrupedal Democratic manifest
alton on Sunday last, in the lower part of
Agiers. In other words, an attempt was
made to institute an equestrian club. There
was much horse play among those assembled
on the occasion, many of whom kicked at
every proposition brought forwards while
others neighed at each motion, and their
nays were sufficient to prevent anything
from passing except whisky. This was ruled
to be always in order At length, after con-
siderable whinnying, the organization pro.
ceeded SO far as to elect president with a
curiously significant name-T VUher up.

Ben Patterson's name led all the rest un.
der the ban of dangerous and suspicious.
His lazy habits and sticky fingers opened
wide path that led him by no devious
route to the Parish Prison. The stolen
rooster he had in his arms when released,
crowed loud in victory of the Jail bird.
Three little women with swivel tongues,
who have made the corner of st. Andrew
and Baronne streets entirely unpleasant for
all the neighbors, were arrested Sunday and
complaint entered against the triplets.
When arraigned their loosened tongues
ratified so continuously that no one had an
opportunity to talk. Recorder Jackson
finally finding a chance to put in word
informed the worse soaker, diminutive
Mary Smith, that if she would hold up I'M
til tomorrow she should have chance to
talk for two straight months in the Parish
Prison. Before sentence, she was very
humble and pious, but no sooner were the
Recorders words uttered than she initiated
fallen angel. Curses, loud aud deep, were
easy to her. Bridget Dougherty and Mary
Kennedy, twin viragos, were discharged on
the condition that they would leave the
district at once. Chilly they promised.

A STRANGE REoUEsT.-A young man who
was so unfortunate or so criminal as to be
arraigned before one of the four recorders
courts, did not wish to have his case re-
ported in the daily papers. Strangely
enough he requested the clerk to keep his
name out of the journals. This request
is common, but where these people obtain
their idea that court clerks have anything
to do with what shall or shall not be pub
lished is beyond comprehension. Reporters
are not governed in their items by Recorders
or policemen. When the REPUBLICAN, ven
tilates case, it is invariably done as fairly
as possible, for public information. When
person is accused of crime, it is given in
these columns simply as charge made be-
fore competent parties, not intending to
PREJUDICE or declare on the guilt or in
nocenoe of the subject.
