Gayle, and that the surviving partners, Mr.. B. NJ.

ii under the title Of B. NJ. Horrell & Co., who will
continue the business at l92 Gravier street. The

RIsToRT.-We had the pleasure of a visit, yes
terday, from sgnor De Yiyo, agent for the great
Italian tragedienne. This gentleman informs Us
that Madame Ristori has deferred her visit to
Havana until the middle of February, and to this
CRY until the beginning Of March. This is due to
the supposed prevalence of cholera in Havana
She will begin an engagement at the New Opera
House on the 9TH Of March, playing several of the
greatest Italian pieces in her repertoire, and in
the course Of her stay performing the famous
French drama, Beatrice" in conjunction with
the regular troupe now delighting New Orleans
with their excellent acting. She will bring for
ward her Marie AEtOinette Marie Stuart and
Elizabeth, also. Our citizens will look forward
with impotence to the season when they may
again be able to welcome the most sublime Of all
living actresses.

Our NEW GovERNoR.-The official order ap-
pointing the Hon. Joshua Baker governor, in
place Of Governor Flanders resigned, will be
found in another column. Judge Baker is an old
sugar planter On the T6che, in St. Mary's parish
and has long been considered one of the best citi-
zens Of Louisiana. He has been occasionally in
public life, buthas for the most part devoted himself
to his business as sugar planter, without con.
corning himself with politics or public affairs,
cept as private citizen. Those who know him
speak of him as a gentleman of high character.
and one who will do the best he can for the peo-
PIE of the State in the peculiar circumstances in
which they find themselves placed.

The GREEN RooM.-Charley Miltemore, the pop
ular and very worthy host Of the Green Room,
sent us trimming and delicious bowl of egg nog
on New Years day. This princely bowl, which
was only exceeded in its quantity by its faultless
quality, must have been brewed by Charley him
SELF, fer it amacked of his skill good taste and ex.
perience in the mixing of liquors. After such an
achievement, he can well take a rest and tWirl
that magnificent mustache, whose length and
sickness excite the envy Of all those who, in pass
ing through Commercial Alley, stop at the Green
Room t. take q drink or a lunch, both of which
are excellent. Thanks. Charley!

To-DAY's RACEs.-The races over the Metairie
Course to-day consist of a single dash of two
miles for purse of $500. and of mile heats for
purse of similar value. There are three entries
for the dash: WHdatr, by Lexington; Nellie
G1rynne, by Bonnie Scotland, and Joe Johnston,
by Goodwood. For the second race six horses
have been entered, namely: the brown colt Jack
Gamble, the bay FLY Agnes DOnoUan, a chestnut
colt by Indorser, the bay horse Johnston, 1.-THE
came that is entered in the dash, the bay gelding
Black Crook, and the bay colt EdgecOmJe. II
there should be no rein, the track will surely be
in better condition than it was yesterday, and
our readers may look for excellent sport. If
the inclemency of the weather should render
postpOnement necessary, a pennant will be
hoisted from the Crescent Billiard Saloon.

The hopes of support to the party of the
country. from our foreign population, grow
brighter as We advance to the eliminating
point OF our efforts. 1t is a shame that so
many lrishmen should vote against the Re-
publican party-the party of liberal ideas
the party tor the dowIl-tIodden and oppressed
the party that has already broken the man.
acles. of four millions OF men, women and
children the party that is to hold the great
interests OF the country in its hands, 1t is a
shame, that by the cajolery OF corrupt party
leaders they should be induced to strike
blow against their own interests as oppressed
men, flying from tyranny to freedom! But
1t does not all have that gloomy look. We are
assured that many intelligent IIshmen are
seeing the position in true light. Hoffman,
the Democratic candidate Tor Governor in
New York is unpopular with the Irish. He
will not poll their iull vote
The Irish People, one of the Oldest and
most influential OF that people, and now in
charge OF John Mahoney, has broken from
the Democratic traces and has declared for
the Republican ticket, State and national,
without reserve. They give their reasons
for this, with great directness and force, and
they cannot tail to tell on the vote in the
State OF New York in November
The Freeman's Journal, Democratic Jour
nal, mourns the distrust and disaffection
among that people towards the Democracy.
These distrusts have resulted in the organi-
zation OF societies in New York and Brook
lyn, called Irish nights Societies" with the
avowed purpose OF reclaiming that element
iromthe subserviency to VIII ch gamesters and
tricksters have for so many years d, graded it.
This organization, says the Herald, has sud-
denly sprung into existence and has acquired
great strength. and may between this and
November next give an unexpected turn to
.hlngs political. At present, the leaders OF
the organization advocate the election OF
Grant and Coliax and the state Republican
ticket.
Thus the good work goes on, even among
those who have SO long been deceived-the
lrish-Amer cans. The day is fast fastening
On, when as clear as light at noon, win this
people see that their position is with the par
ty OF the country-the Union party of liberty,
and of equal rights before the law, of every
person on its soil.

THE EXAMPLE OF ILLINoIs.-There are
few persons who realize how extremely limi-
ted is the support received in the West OF the
Pendleton- Butler fiji ancial scheme. The lat
ter gentleman recently boaste of acting on
this question with Senator Morton and 9TH
er eminent Western politicians. The extract
which we published esterday from Morton's
speech at Lafayette Indiana shows how lit
tie reason he had to make such boast. The
examples OF history and the instincts of an
honorable people are alike potent in winning
the masses to correct feeling. In speech
recently delivered at Buffalo by Col. C. G.
Carrot llIinois,he gave an account OF the past
make a deep impression on all who read it..
He said:
In 1912 Illinois owed fourteen millions Of
dollars. AT that time the State was scarcely
settled, there being few inhabitants north of
Springfield. Chicago was small village and
there were small settlements along the great
rivers.
The people were few and scattering. the
banks had failed; the money in use was
worthless, and there was not enough good
money IN the whole State TO pay the interest
on the debt tor one year.
Then there were those who talked OF the
bloated bondholder and the honest plough
holder, and said, I'VE cannot pay let us not
attempt to do so; let us repudlate." On the
other hand there were noble men who said
| I'VE will pay, if we are Obliged to turn over
eyery dollar OF our property-our houses and
farms. our stock and crops, everything: we
will not live in State that is so base as to
repudiate." They called the creditors the
ondholders-together and sand to them:
We cannot pay to-day, nor to morrow: this
year nor next; but, they said. as this Repub-
lican platform says, ''let the debt be extended
over iair period tor redemption and we will
pay ever dollar"
The debt was extended, The Legislature
imposed what was called the two-mlll TAX
Immigration which has been retarded by onr
| financial embarrassments,r revived. The people
| OF the New England and Middle States came
| by Thousands and improved those great pra-
ries, The ratabe property greatly increased,
| and before we knew it our State debt was
paid.
The names of those who recommended re-
pudation have only been rescued from infa-
my by oblivion; but ii you wish to know how
Illinois honors the men who would not, in
