without indorsing the policy recommended in
the following from the Baton Rouge Advocate. we
publish it for the sake of the information which il
contains:
The Citizens Bank-By process of law this
wealthy corporation has become possessed of
large tracts OF land. situated in various portions
OF the State. Previous 10 the war, loans were
made by the bank, secured by mortgages upon
lands and negroes. The result Of the war de-
prived II OF all claims TO property In the latter.
and nne-ienths Of the planters indebted to it, un.
able 10 meet their notes, or not willing to pay
them in order TO secure plantations now worth
much less than when they were mortgaged sur.
rendered them to the bank, which in consequence
Is the possessor Of many thousands of acres of
land, unsaleable al the prices demanded to
cover principal and accumulated interest of the
amount advanced upon them.
The CitizeEs'. Bank can sell these lands at full
prices, and at the same time be the means of con-
ferring inestimable benefits upon this people and
country. II the directors would divide the large
plantations In forty acre tracts and sell them on
long credit TO actual settlers. a flow of immgra-
ton would be one immediate result, and the even
tual payment to the bank Of the large sums now
invested in these lands would be another.
In this parish several thousands OF acres of fine
lands are thrown out OF cultivation because they
belong TO the bank, and there are none DESTROYS
or able TO buy them. A small outlay applied to
the distribution Of maps and the advertisement of
terms, ETC., In the densely populated European
countries. would effect the desired result. Like
many other large lsaded proprietors ia the South,
however. the bank may prefer to contnus li.t.
less policy Of waiting for time Of high prices for
lands.
SO Ear as their coast sugar plantations are con-
cerned, that policy msy prove a good one but
their high lands will never sell for anything like
their cost, unless subdivided. and the Immediate
adoption Of that plan in connection with a scheme
TO procure purchasers ia immigrants would be
Of incalculable benefit to the country.

The "trooly loil patriots of Richmond
have been practicing their usual strategy
again in the manipulation of the registry in
that city during the recent revision. In
Marshall ward, for instance, where the assess
ment shows 43f negroes, these "lol" and
indefatigable creatures have registered 7a6.
Of course, in pursuance of their "trooly
loil" objects, they viii extemporize number
Of new issue citizens sufficient to represent
all of the fictitious voters on the registry
They will, doubtless, try the same game in
this city. Carpet-baggery is the same every
where. Vsgrant and mendicant "loilty" in
Louisiana is the counterpart of vagrant and
mendicant "loilty" in Virginia or Alabama.
1t will cheat wherever it gets chance, and
try TO cheat whether it has a chance or not,
Let the registrars be on theirgu against
" trooly loil +" frauds. Their duty is to keep
out fraudulent votes, as well as to register
legal voters. They cannot be too careful in
the new applicants sent up by the
vagrant and mendicant committees.

THEATERs IN JAPAS.-The Paris Magazine
quotes an amusing account Of the theaters in
Japan. II seems that at Osaka there are five
theaters, all in one street. They are very largs.
and built on about the same plan as ours, with
psTquette, boxes and galleries. The musicians
are stationed in one corner, and flooring upon
which the actors pass back and forth uniies the
stsge to the parquetie curtain falls in front of
the scene, and there Is dressing room in the
rear.
The representations last all day and part Of
the night. The spectators eat, drink and smoke
during the performances and the intervals For
their convenience numerous restaurants surround
the tbesters, aud furnish them continually with
hot meals. soup and mulled wine. The women
are dressed In rich and elegant costumes. so that
the effect of the scene is really brilliant. The
costumes OF the actors are often splendid. The
action is conducted with much spirit, and a special
genius seems manifest for tragedy, which often
causes the entire audience to melt in tears
Besides the Legitimate drama, exhibitions of
feats OF prestidigitatiou, tight rope dancing etc.
are much IN fashion. Appreciation is expressed
by cries and clapping of hands, after the latest
BoweTy style. The actors take an undisrujsed
interest in the excitement of the audience. and
toles are pierced in the stage curtain to enable
them to peep through and ascertain when the i'm
patience Of the house has reached to such oojot
ss to make it advisable to begin the performance.

There seems to be no doubt that the Black
Crook Constitution is defeated in Arkansas by
a direct vote Of the people, Thus the radical
"trooly loil plan of reconstruction has failed
as to the first two States in which it is brought
to test. Virginia will follow in the same
track, and North Carolina and Texas are sure
to go the same way. Thus the bottom falls
out of the radical programme, and the con-
spirators are at their wits end The whole
scheme has been devised simply for the pur-
pose of gaining the seventy electoral votes
of the Southern States for the Republican
candidate; and now it seems that all the plot
ting and conspiring; the shameless tyrannies
of Sheridan and Pope; the Acknowledgement of
the whites; the Black Crook conventions; the
fraudulent registrations, and the still more
fraudulent elections, are all for naught. Even
the potent plan of declaring the Constitutions
adopted, when they have, in fact, been re-
jeeted, offers no hope of improving the situa-
ton. If Alabama and Arkansas are declared
to be in the Union, and pronounced to be
"loil enough to vote at the presidential
election, the same majority which voted down
the Constitutions will be competent to give
the electoral vote of those States to the Demo-
cratic candidates. 1t seems, indeed, that if
the radicals count on the votes of the South in
the next election. they viii only lessen in
stead of augmenting their chances of success.
This is what those romantic creatures are
fond of calling political justice 1t is another
case of hosting the engineer with his own Pc
tard-the bitter bit-the artifcer of slaughter
slain with his own weapon.

1t seems that the Alabama convention

property to be seized and captured by these

as this force was to be composed of "loil .
men, and as white men-excepting small
