The Liverpool Eoening Courier gives the
following account of the performances of
gymnast who recently appeared in that city:
In the sensational character of his per.
Torrance Erato literally put into the Shade
the feats of his predecessors, beating a
drum while hanging by the teeth at the
height of some forty feet. 1t may we'll be
questioned whether such an exhibition
should be encouraged, or indeed allowed at
ell. The averted faces of MANY of the
female spectators show that the taste for
these displays of foolhardiness is not uni.
versal, though 1t is pretty general, and
there should certainly be some limit put to
these performances. The spiral ascension
of Ethardo, the graceful flying trapeze
performance of Eugene, the lofty
trapeze feats of the Victorellis, the
aerial fights of Azella, Pereira, and
the Farfnis, the ceiling walking of 0lmar,
and the equilibrist performances of Alvante
are all daring in their way, but the scarce
suppressed scream of the audience at some of
Erato's feats show that, if not clever gym
mast he Is, at least, more perfect master of
sensational recklessness. He is Young
man, apparently under thirty years, and like
more Of the aspirauts after this dubious kind
Of fame, he Is short of stature, but of mus
eular build. Suspended from the lofty
ceiling of the Star Music hall, about half
yard apart, are two ropes about twelve
feet long, each with a loop at the end; It is
on these ropes that Erato goes through his
breakneek performances. With q foot
fixed in each of the loops, and his legs
stretched out sideways at right angles
with his body, he swings about for some
moments; with foot in one loop and
hand IN the other. he turns his body round
with singular velocity; then he swings
Gbout with his body doubled up into yery
small compass, then he hangs BY both feet
from the loops; while swinging to that he
touches the ceiling with his hands, then
takes one foot out of the loop and swings
while hanging this way, at the same time
twisting his free leg round HE neck and
doing other aerobatic tricks, and afterward
be hangs from one Of the loops with his
teeth and beats time on drum to a popu.
lar air played BY the band. During the
greater part Of these performances there Is
anet stretched across part OF the hall but
utterly useless as protection against acct
dent during some OF the feats, and when II
would be useful toward the close it is taken
away with the evident intention to add 10
the sensation. The applauae Erato gains is
terrific. ea Ap
Some Of the gymnasts who have per.
formed in New Orleans have been quite as
daring as Erato.

Congress providing an oath of Office
for all officers of the United States
government in the rebel States. In
conceiving and maintaining this posi-
ton; in refusing to entertain any mo-
tons or protests from persons claim

ganized body, Lieutenant Governor
Dunn evinced an able and compre-
hensive judgment of the law of the
case and familiarity with parliament

him for the position of a presiding Off
Ger. We congratulate the people of
Louisiana on the courage, ability, and
wisdom of the gentleman whom her
people have elected to this RESPONSE

people in his hands for two trying

The oldest Relic Of humanity

/ The oldest relic Of humanity extant
is the skeleton of one of the earlier
Pharaohs, incased in its original burial
robes, and wonderfully perfect con-
sidering its age, which was deposited
about, eighteen or twenty months ago
in the British museum, and is Justly
considered the most valuable of its
archaeological treasures. The lid of
the coffin which contained the royal
mummy was inscribed with the name
of its occupant, Pharaoh Mykerimus,
who succeeded the heir Of the builder
Of the great pyramid, about ten CEN
turtles before Christ. Only think of
it; the Monarch whose crumbling
bones and leathery integuments are
n6wsexeiting the wonder Of numerous
gazers in London, reigned in Egypt
before Solomon was born, and only
about eleven centuries or SO after
Mizraim, the grandson Of old father
Noah, and the first of the Pharaohs,
had been gathered to his fathers

obstacles and hindrances calculated to
test his Judgment, temper, courage,
honesty, and firmness such as beset
Lieutenant Governor Dunn on every

And much more rarely in our recol-

The Republican Members of the
General Assembly.

Right nobly have this band of
patriots, resisting all attempts at
bribery or coercion, begun the task of
inaugurating civil government in Lou
isiana.
For the bold and manly manner,
and the prudence and wisdom with
which they have met all the embarrass-
ments and temptations before them,
they have earned the lasting gratitude
of their constituents, and will be held
by them in enduring remembrance.
In view Of the tremendous efforts of
our opponents, and the advantage
they derived from military counsel
and assistance, we were anxious for
the result. The event has indicated
the confidence which the people have
reposed in their Representatives. The
people look to them to protect the
sanctity of the ballot-box, which was
most shamefully violated in the recent
elections. Where peaceable citi-
zens have been driven from the
polls, and arrested and impris-
oned on the days of election,
robbed of their registration papers and
refused redress; where commissioners
of election have sent instructions to
their subordinates to use every means,
fair or foul, to defeat the Radical
ticket; where election officers have
been selected with gross Partially
from among ex-rebel officers and par
ties entirely opposed to reconstruc-
tion, and this by General sent here
to aid loyal men whore thugs and as
sassins have been allowed to WELD the
authority Of Deputy sheriffs to inter-
fere with the election, and to Cypress
and outrage voters where prominent
Democratic candidate for Office openly
threatened to assassinate one of our
most respected citizens for seeking to
prevent these Outrages; where prom
inent Judicial officer has tried to extort
from men falsely Imprisoned premise
not to expose him as condition of
their release; where rebel commits
sioners Of electionhave stuffed ballot
boxes, received brides, and fall
sifed the count Of votes where
al this fraud has been perpe-
trated to the extent Of thousands Of
votes, as it was done in this city, we
think there is a pretty fair field for
Legislative investigation. The people
demand it. Let a committee be APP
pointed with power to send for persons
and papers, and isteths whole thing
come to light and justice be done, and
Congress see how its agents have per-
formed the high duty committed to
them. tra@ E 9

United states Senators.


Gentlemen of the Senate and the
House of Representatives, it will de-
volve upon you on Tuesday of next
week to exercise one of the highest
prerogatives of the Legislature of a
sovereign State of the Union. You
will then elect two Senators to Con-
gress. Is it not evident that the polit-
ical reputation of Louisiana, our polit-
ical well-beingin the immediate future,
and the advantages we hope to gain
from readmission into the Union de
pend very largely upon the kind of
men selected for that high Office
Need we say in the first place that
our Senators should be men of emf
nent ability? 1t must be borne in
mind that in legislation the mistakes
of incompetent men have the practical
effect of crimes. Their motives may
be good, but that does not1essen the
harm or the wrong they may unwit-
tingly infict upon the country. Never
before in our history has there been
such need of the highest statesman
ship. Our land is almost. perishing
for want of knowledge, for want of a
clear comprehension of those great
social, moral, and political forces
which are the mighty but invisible
allies Of every good cause, and which
rule in the world Of ideas just as truly
as unseen physical forces control the
world, of matter. n
Hitherto we have fought evils that
were palpable. Slavery and secession
were SO conspicuous, were OF such
brazen front, that no one could possibly.
mistake them. To overcome them
required knowledge, courage, loyalty,
moral convictions outweighing every
eohAideration of sch, but by no
means so high an order of statesman
ship as to meet and destroy the mighty
evils that-noyg assail Us. For the gil
anita with whom we have now to con-
tend ere invisible, impalpsble. Nei-
Their are we now borne along BY the
enthusiasm inspired Of a great war.
Subtle questions Of finance, the burden
Of . national debt, so great as to equal
about one-ssventh Of the assessed
values Of the whole country, the grow
ing corruption that threatens the life
Of the nation, who, even Of our wisest
and best statesmen, thoroughly coma
