The HOUSE yesterday passed a bill which, TO
give them their due, is the honest discharge Of
debt of gratitude long due by the people of Louis
isns. Our readers will probably remember that
when the Inflated Fashion was burnt, her pilot,
Mr.. 7. A. Montague (treasure up the nancy be-
haved In manner truly heroic, refusing 70 leave
his post until the danger should be entirely over,
resisting all solicitations to abandon the wheel un-
Gil the boat had landed, and finally, in the dis
charge of bis duty, nobly died. The public sd-
miration OF this great sacrifice was freely ex'
pressed, but did not. we believe, take any sub
stsntisl form with regard to the family of Mr..
Montague. The bill passed yesterday provides
that the State shall pay to his widow, as long as
she shall remain widow, $500 annually, as
token of the respect of the psope of the State of
Louisiana to the memory of departed herolsm,
sDd as some compensation TO Mrs. Mon
tague for the loss Of the support given to her by
her husband.

WAS IT a Radical or a Democratic elub OF
colored men that stormed the cake, soda and fruit
store corner of CsrODdelet and Lafayette streets
last evening! Itwas a Radical club, andits mem
bers gobbled up everything there was to eat or
drink about the premises. Where we're the SIS
POLICEMEN? Who will pay damages? The police.
men are now a regiment, and only act as reg
ment and the city or the State will probably have
10 foot the bill.
