One Lott, a man and brother, who has ar
rived at the dignity of legislator, yesterday
introduced resolutions into the House, with
view to address out of Office Capt. Thos. L.
Maxwell, the popular and efficient sheriff of
the parish of Orleans. The man and brother
Lott scrambles to his conclusion through a
labyrinth of "whereases purporting to ex-
plain the reasons which have moved him to
suggest this summary method of getting rid
of an officer duly elected by the people of the
parish of Orleans; but beyond an announce
ment of the fact that the ballot-box is the
palladium of our liberties, snd that Capt
Maxwell has been very naughty in relation
thereto, in some manner which the man and
brother Lott does not condescend to explain
to his benighted white brethren, we cannot
arrive at any very clear comprehension of his
meaning What is clear is that the man and
brother Lott wants to turn out Capt. Max
well, because Capt. Maxwell is Democrat
and capable officer, and therefore very apt
to stand in the way of the schemes of the
faction to which the man and brother, Lott,
has sold himself, for the doubtful honor of
seat in the Legislature. Now, let us see
whether or not the Legislature will venture to
abet the man and brother Lott in this out
rage upon the rights Of the people of New
Orleans,

The OPERA HOUSE CLUB BAIL.-We have

named affair, which is to take place on We'd

social position and social talents of the men,
bers of this club, it may be safely predicted
that this ball will be one of surprising bril-
liancy and elegance. 1t has been expected
for some time, and now that its date is def
nitely announced, many will be the prepare
tons made for it, and many the bright anti
cipations raised regarding it The following
are the names of the committee of arrange
ments, perusal of which will give to all our
readers a guarantee that the ball will be
perfect one in all its appointments, and one to
be invited to which every fair lady in the

Almost all of the new senators recently
elected are epublicans-among them Fenton
of New York, Scott of Pennsylvania, and
of March, will contain about fifty-five Repub-
lcans and thirteen Democrats. This includes
the batch of carpet-bag senators elected in
the South, and who have about as much right
to represent the Southern States as to repre-
sent France or England. Nevertheless, they
are, practically, senators; and, however much
they may deteriorate the general character of
the Senate, they preserve its Radical nature.
Among the recent senatorial elections, three
in particular, were attended with circum-
stances of a peculiar character, and gave rise
to controversies which may have serious
effect on the integrity of the Republican
party. These were the elections in New York,
in Indiana, and in Missouri In New York
and Indiana the difficulties arose out of per-
sonal animosities, which, in the case of Indi-
ana, were SO strong as to defeat the caucus
nominee. In Missouri there was a question
between New England partisanism and the
comparative liberalism of the German Radi-
Gals. The coalition of these two elements has
enabled the Radicals to hold Missouri, after
the disfranchisement of about 10000 Demo-
Gratis. The New England element was forced
to consent to the election Of Carl Shurz but
those who know the intolerance and vindic-
tiveness of the native Radicalism of the North
very well know that the defeated party will
not remain quiet under their failure. The
election of Shurz is, probably, the beginning
of feud, which viii lead to the disruption of
the Republican party in Missouri, and to the
redemption of the State from Radical rule.

Washburne who wants to convert American
telegraphy into government monopoly, de-
clared, in recent speech, that the people of
Europe, where the telegraph is government
tai machine, are better served and enjoy
larger Geographic facilities than the people of
the United States, where telegraphy is pri-
waite enterprise, and open to private competi-
ton. Even if this were true, it would only
show that, by government interference, capital
and enterprise had been turned into channel
in which they would not naturally flow but
the fact is that it is not true. The n. Y. World
makes up table of statistics bearing on this
point, from which it appears that, in Europe,
there are but A ,347 offices among population
of over 25O,OOO, O0O-only one Office to every
6O,249 people; while in the United States
there are 4,l26 offices in population of
31,O00,00 0-a convenient Office to every 7,549
inhabitants. But again: the extent of miles
and wires belonging to single American COM
pany, the Western Union Telegraph, is more
than twice that of the government of France,
three times that of Prussia, and equals the
combined systems of Belgium, France, Swift
erland, Austria, Prussia, Spain, Italy and the
lesser German States all put together. Again
The Western Union Telegraph in one year,
1868, added more than 5000 miles of wires to
its lines-a single item of its resources equal
to the entire telegraph system of Belgium.
More: In Belgium, one message is sent to
every seventh person ; in Great Britain, one
to every fifth person in the United States,
one to every two and half persons. The
proportion of kilograms to letters in Great
Britain is / to 121 in Switzerland, to 60
in Belgium, to 81 in the United States, i
to %. These facts show that Washburne has
Just about enough regard for truth to be o
first class Radical member of Congress.

1t appears that the difficulty with the Para
guaysn government is settled. 1t seems that
an American fleet, under Admiral Davis, went
up the Parana and effected the release of the
two American citizens, Masterman and Bliss
Admiral Davis reports that he found the
tyrant Lopez to be very affable and amiable
gentleman, not at all given to serving up the
heads of foreigners on charger, or of hanging
them merely for his own amusement. He
gave up the two men on demand. This, we
presume, was before his defeat at villeta Af-
ter that event, he would probably have been
found little more difficult to conciliate.

not ike the term oligarchy as applied to their
government. They ask why it is called an
oligarchy. Well, an " oligarchy is the
government of few" The new charter
provides that the government of the city,
Legislative, ministerial and executive, shall
be vested in six persons. We presume that
nc one will deny ''six" to be few, and hence
the new government will necessarily be an
