The condition Of things IN New Orleans Is
wkat It might be expected to be with the insti-
gator Of the former New Orleans riots IN the
Presidential chair with Gen. Rousseau in com
mani Of the department with police compos-
ed in good measure Of Mayor Munroe's Old rebel
police re-appointei within a few days past, and
with even the L. 5. troops made mp in good part
from former confederate soldiers. This last cir
cumstance is stated as a fact, by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Boston TrareHer. He
says
A singular fact has come to light in regard to
the First l. ;. Infantry, stationed there lat New
Orleans to protect the peace. The men compos-
ing the regiment were nearly all recruited in
New Orleans, and a letter from prominent Off
Ger there on Gen Grants staff, says that three
fourths Of the enlisted men have served in the
Confederate army, and that unless other troops
are at once sent to relieve them, no protection
viii be afforded to loyal men IN a riot should
occur. These troops, the letter says, VIII take
advantage Of the uniform they wear, and shoot
down loyal, peaceable negroes. under the pre-
tence that the latter are melting to riot while
every protection viii be shown the rebel element,
who are the real agressors.
OF course, if this is true, such regiment
should be at once ordered to the frontier, and a
regiment not recruited at the South, sent to
take its place but We suppose it will no; be
done. 1t IS said, however, that Secretary Scho-
field has ordered additional troops to be in
readiness to 90 to New Orleans, if further
trouble occurs 1t seems to u that they should
not only be in readiness, but on the way.
Many Of our readers who have noticed that
a bin for the Incorporation Of the Tehuantepec
Railway Company was reported in our Legisla-
ture last week, must have been puzzled to divine
why the Vermont Legislature should be interest
ing itself in transportation schemes on the 18th
mus. It seems that the charter is asked for by
Simon Stevens ESQ, Of New York, son of the
late Henry Stevens Of Barnet, and Is to incorpo-
rate a Company formed under authority granted
by the Mexican Government, in 1866. for open
ing interoceanic communication across the 18th .
mus Of Tehuantepec. The capital of the Com .
pany is eighteen millions Of dollars, divided in
tc shares. Il is to be managed by four direc-
tors, one Of whom is to be appointed by the Gov
eminent of Mexico. The Company is authoriz-
ed to build, build purchase or charter, steam or
other vessels. to from the termini of the rail-
road, to any other ports. Mr.. Stevens is large
ly interested in this enterprise. The bill was
favorably reported by the Railroad Committee Of
the Senate, and has passed that branch.

The British press has said many hard taings
about the rowdyi>m of the Democratic rabble Of
the United States. and much If IT'S censure was
well deserved Scenes Of violence and disorder
have attended political demonstrations in this
country not at all creiitable to the intelligence,
decency, and -obriety Of the American character.
We remember nothing more Towdyish, how
ever, than some of the scenes recently occurring
IN North Dayonshire, England, as described iy the
same British press We haze an account Of a
meeting held n Collumptou, where great row
occurred, and mud was thrown about in a man
ner which lirhtenei the labors of the street
cleaners the following day. With this mud the
intelligent voters soon mixed rotten eggs, thus
making kind Of batter which the candidates
might receive as token Of Collumptou haspi-
ality. One of the candidates was pelted with
mud, eggs, and rotten apple--the rough in
gradients of puiiin--untl he was fain to
take to his heels Sir Stafford Northcote, the
Indian Secretary, made a speech, and remarked
that the meeting was q very lively one. Then a
Mr. Farrant got up TO say a few words. They
proved to be very few. 81 lie tried To Hike a
speech, SO says the report, " but little could he
heard except was born and bred in the pa
rish. " With this important contribution to
their knowledge the electors were satisfied, and
promptly supplied Mr.. Farrant with bis share
Of rotten eggs. This j, quite as bad as Gen. But
ler's famous reception in the City Hall Park.
New York and our English friends should talk
less about our rows on this side the water, till
they can prove that the unfre-h fruit Of tie In
glish hen, is less oderifarous and emulsiyc, as
an aid to oratory, than the American article.

EYES AND EARs.-The most acceptable
compliment..one can pay in conversation
is attentive listening. And the most APP
preciative listening (if we may use a Clet-
icism) is done with the eyes. For the
human ear, unlike that of the lower ami
mails, is a fixed in ;titution. 1t cannot be
elevated or directed forward when atten-
ton is aroused. Hence its function is lin
tied. 1t cannot give signs either of atten-
ton or appreciation in conversation
Thus, a writer in Blackwood well says, we
do our most effective listening with our
eyes. And in many regards our listening
is far more effective in impressing a con-
versational companion than speech. No
unspoken affront short of absolute rude
ness rouses resentment so readily as wan
dering attention manifested in wandering
chances. A mans thoughts are wont to
follow his eyes, and be engrossed by what
they see rather than by what he hears.
Thus, thought a speaking eye is a rare So
cial gift, a listening eye is ever more rare
and valuable.
