BENEFIT OF MISS ALICE PLAcIDE. - Our
theater going public who remember and ap-
preciate the efforts made by this accomplished
actress last winter, to please the patrons of
the Varieties, will be glad to learn that on
Tuesday next she will, by invitation of her
friends and admirers, take that benefit which
she failed to obtain during the theatrical
season. The pieces selected for the perform
ance are "Lucretia Borgia," in the principal
role of which we are told Miss Placide is ex-
cellent, and 1.-THE Swiss Swains." We trust
that our good people will honor this occasion
in manner worthy of the merits of the fair
beneficiary, who, from her persevering study
and usual well filling of the parts assigned
her, certainly deserves some substantial token
of appreciation. The affair takes piece at the
Varieties.

A REASONABLE CONDITION to
Radical paper, which is reputed to be the
organ of Mr. Ray, of the State Senate, it is
proposed that the Legislature shall choose
presidential electors to avoid the injurious
effect which a popular election will have upon
agricultural labor. This is unquestionsbly a
very weighty consideration. Neither planters
nor freedmen can afford to neglect plantation
work. They would see no positive injustice
in the proposed method of election for the
reason stated, if the Legislature would
pledge itself to represent the well known
wishes of the majority of the people in
choosing the electors. OF course, in that
case, the Seymour and Blair electoral ticket
would be chosen. This is perfectly reason
able condition. Why the carpet-baggers have
been anxious for the Legislature to cast the
vote, is very plain. They despair of the pop
ular election. They give up the contest before
the people on anything like fair trial at the
ballot box. Well if they give it up there, why
not give it up altogether, and agree, for the
sake of saving further trouble, that the Legis-
lature shall cast the vote of the State for Sey-
mour and Blair?

We understand that the individual-King-
ston by name-who has until recently done
the praying Of the lower house, few days
ago fell from grace, abruptly descended from
the lofty mount or pious excellence on which
in the minds of the members he was exalted,
and, not to put too fine a point upon it, was
detected in fdgrdnte delicto, in swearing like q
trooper. Their delicate sensibilities shocked
by this gross violation of the proprieties, the
House declined to allow the ex-commissary to
do any more praying for them hence the su-
perabundance lately Of other prayers to which
we yesterday alluded. Wepresume that here
after the SIS per diem appropriated by the
House to pay its religious expenses will be di-
yided amongst the many who now take turns
at it.

The STATE BOND BILL.

The following is synopsis of the State
bond bill which yesterday the committee of the
whole recommended to the House for adop-
ton, and which will doubtless pass the House
this week. We here state that when the sub
ject was first brosched a strong effort was
made to make the bonds and interest paya-
BILE in gold. This was, however, defeated,
and the bill now stands thus:
Section one authorizes the governor to
issue s2,000,0C0 worth of 40 year bonds,
bearing .07 $40 per cent interest, and to
advertise for sixty days inviting proposals for
the bonds, the bonds to be sold to the high
est bidder.
Section two makes the interest payable
either in New York or New Orleans.
Section three provides that it shall be
the duty of the auditor and treasurer, on the
first Monday of August and February of each
year, to set apart from money in the treasury,
at the credit Of the general fund, an amount
sufficient to pay the semi-annual interest on
the outstanding bonds issued under the pro-
visions of this act"
Section four we give uerbatim:
BE a further enacted, etc., That to provide for
the redemption OF bonds issued under the provl-
SONS Of this act, and for the prompt payment OF
interest accruing thereon, the auditor Is hereby
directed within TIM ~ days after he shall have re-
ceived the assessment rolls from the several par.
ishes and the city of New Orleans, to determine
by accurate calculation what rate Of taxation on
the total assessed value of all the movable and i'm
movable property in the State will be sufficient for
the purpose of paying the said interest and for the
annual reduction Of fifty thousand dollars of the
seid principal; and il shall also be his duty to
tfy the several sherifs and tax collectors of the
rate Of taxation ascertained and fixed for the
purpose aforesaid and said tax, as annually as.
certaned and fixed, is hereby annually levied up
on sll the movable and immOvable properly that
may he annually assessed in this State; and it
shall be the duty of the several sheriifs and tax
collectors to collect said tax and the collection of
the same shall be enforced as the law provides
or may hereafter provide for the collection of
be paid into the treasury, the same shall be placed
10 he credit Of fund to be known as the % Two
Millions Relief Fund F" which fund is hereby de-
claTed sacred deposit, for the sole purpose Of
paying interest on and efecting the redemption OF
the bonds issued under this act
The balance of the bill provides for the
semi-annual redemption, by purchase from
the lowest bidder, of such bonds as the money
appropriated for the purpose will pay for, for
the crediting of all moneys received for the
bonds to the general fund of the State, for the
appropriation of $1,000 to pay expenses of
lithographing, ETC., and for the act going into
effect from and after its passage.

"LE REvEH. We have received circular
announcing the early publication of weekly
Republican journal in the French language.
Its title heads this notice. The circular
promises that LIE Reveil shall pursue the
couse laid down and left unfinished by the
Tribune. If so, the new hebdomadal has our
good wishes, for the Tribune was always an
intelligent exponent of the old and respected
colored population of this city, and an op-
ponent of carpet-baggers. The first number
is TO be published the 18th proximo, from the
corner Of ST. Louis and Bourbon streets.

The procession of the Seymour Southrons
last evening was a matter which the CRESCENT
cannot find words to describe the beauty of.
No regular. troops ever marched or made their
evolutions with more promptness and pre-
cision. There were about one hundred and
fifty of them, under their grand marshal, NJ.
Mcnamara, Esq, that came with their trans
parencies and lights and gave three hearty
cheers for the CRESCENT. Their maneuvering
was truly admirable, and a hsndsomer as
sembly OF young gentlemen it has rarely been
our lot to see. Three times three and tiger
for the Southrons. There was feature in
this gathering we wish to notice. In the rear
Of the Southrons were gathering or process
sion of little fellows, with their transparencies
some of them hardly out of their swaddling
clothes. How holy and confding is the trust
of woman in the goodness of the Almighty
In any other cause those little boys would not
be out of their mothers sight five minutes but
those mothers trust to the sacred honor of the
Democratic cause, and let their little ones
come forth to swell the concourse which is
marching towards the temple of Freedom.
