NAPOLEON AS AN ACTOR

The Emperor has popularity. He is
fond of theatrical effects. After his escape
from the castle of Ham, he addressed the
soldiers, whom he attempted to win over,
in bombastic spread-eagle periods, accom-
panied with the melo-dramatic gestures of
the man ready to do or die-and then
quietly surrendered on discovering that
this sort Of thing did not take. When he
crossed the English channel to invade
France with handful of men and tame
eagle, which he placed on the top of his
head, he came out 50 strong in this line,
that many people thought he was fool.
Here, act number two, like number one,
was an unmitigated failure, and as before,
he quietly surrendered himself without
further ado, on seeing that the spectators
were not Ia hauteur de Ia situation. The
tame eagle business was too strong dose
for even the theatrical French
In all this, Napoleon evidently had in
his mind the brilliant effects produced by
his uncle with his short and ringing rhet-
oric before his soldiery, for instance,
such as that when he told the conquerors
of Egypt, pointing to the Pyramids, that
forty centuries beheld their victories
The bird business was crude and III d.
digested, but age and experience have
taught him to get up his theatrical effects
with more care and, consequently, with
more success. In the preliminaries of
the present campaign there has been ex-
hibited dignity and moderation which
did not characterize his first attempts.
His valedictory to his subjects exhorting
them to patriotic duty, and confding the
Empress during his absence to their ten
der love, was temperate and fairly done
from a theatrical point of view. That
part about his son, whose post was in the
place of danger, was rather overdone, as
every one knows that he will incur no more
danger In the army than if housed in the
IWleres. Every one also understands
the motive which inspires the Emperor in
taking his son with him-that it is simply
to fasten his dynasty in the person of that
son on the empire.
Before the war is over we shall indn.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The leading feature of our market now
is the tightness of money. More than the
war, the season or the weather, the high
rates at which money is held straightens
business. When good paper has to be
| discounted at two or three per cent a
month, only capitalists can deal much in
''fancies" like ours, and capitalists are
not apt to indulge very much in that class
of certificates. They can do a great deal
better without taking any Wild risks
Poor folks can't afford to borrow at these
high rates to get into Ship Island or
Valley Levee very deep, or even to load
heavily with Slaughterhouse though oc-
casionally spectators, whose bank ac-
counts are not huge, have to "shin and
beg pretty hard to get cash enough to
extrieate themselves from such ventures.
Saturdays business in stocks and bonds
was so small that it could not be seen
without the aid of microscope, and Mon
days was upon par with Saturdays
Notes are shaved occasionally and Sc
verely, and that is about all that is done.
A lot of 500 shares Of Ship Island was
purchased Saturday at 60 cents, and re-
sold at 62I cents. Slaughterhouse is, APP
parently, improving. From $40 to
Sl9 30 was reported to have been
bid yesterday, and the general
impression on the street was that the
stock was worth from $40 to $40 so; still
there was no transactions. The arrival of
the companys ferry boat seems to have
convinced some of our friends anew of
the stability of the monopoly, but, of
course, the rise in the stock is not to be
ascrlbed to any such cause The institu-
ton is making money fast, and its steady.
large receipts have probably assisted its
credit. For Valley Levee 81 so was bid
yesterday, but there was no sale reported
Old State Warrants have got down to 93c
$4,000 were sold yesterday at that figure
Gold is dull and heavy. 1t opened in
New York at 121 at ten o'clock. Here its
price was from 1903 to 1903. Half an
hour later it was held in New York at 1909.
while in New Orleans the rate was 100 to
1909. At noon the New York telegram
fixed the figure at 1911, and our brokers
followed the rise to from 1870. to 1901.
The day closed with 1919 as the New York
rate, and 1903 to 1909 as the New Orleans
prices.

Shreveport will shortly attain large com
mercial Importance. As the initial point at
the present time of the Southern Pacific
Railroad, which has the best locomotives in
the country, Shreveport already possesses
great advantages, and it behooves New Or.
leans to seek her trade, and to try every
fair means to prevent st. Louis from
tapping it by fast steamboats, with low rates
of freight and cheap insurance. In one
thing Shreveport is socnd, and that is in the
purchase of tickets in the Louisiana State
Lottery, that draw large prizes. An adver-
tisement in another column states the fact
that correspondent Of the banking house
Of Pike, Brother & Co., transmits to that
firm for collection One-half of a ticket in .he
louisiana State Lottery. which entitled the
holder to one-half OF the eight thousand
dollar prize. Messrs. Pike, Brother e. Co.
acknowledge the receipt of four thousand
dollary for the lucky man.

THE MILITIA QUESTION IN CADDo.

The Shreveport Southwestern is very
much dissatisfied, apparently, with the
result of the visit of the delegation from
Caddo to the Governor. 1t is displeased
because Governor Warmoth gave only a
qualified pledge that he would send no
militia to Shreveport, unless such a step
was made necessary. We suppose the
fault of the Governor lies in the fact that
he reserved the right of decision, and re
fused to take the positive assurances Of
the committee at par. The Southeastern
is also dissatisfied with the REPUBLICAN,
because we pointed out the logical and
inevitable consequences that would result
if its friends attempted again to ride
rough shod over the Republicans of Caddo.
A very few words will dispose of the
controversy. If the people of Caddo rem
der cheerful and thorough obedience to
the laws and respect the rights of their
equals under those laws, neither their
men, women nor children will be put in
jeopardy by any militia force. But as
human rights and affections are no longer
confined exclusively to the white race, the
wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and all
the household goods Of the Republicans,
whether white or colored, must be left
unmolested, or proper means will be
taken to protect them. And if the pres
ence of q colored militia force in Caddo,
under the command Of General Mudgett
or any other officer whom the Execu-
tive of this State may select, happens
10 demoralize the colored laborers aud ir-
-itate the white non-laborers, we shall re-
gard these unfortunate incidents as addi-
ional evils which the people of Shreve-
BORT have brought upon themselves. We
lave no means of knowing whether the
white people of Shreveport are more easily |
frightened than other mortals but we |
axe it for granted that they are required
o obey the laws the same as other COM
nunities or take consequences. We infer,
borrower, from the tone Of the Southwestern,
hat there is less amiability in Caddo than
he positive assurances of the committee
'arranted the Governor is believing did
xist there.

GENERAL sIGRL ON THE WAR.
The Sympathy Of America.

The sympathy OF America.
We publish this morning correct report
of the speech of the gallant General Sigel
on the European war, to which reference
has already beeu made. 1t will be seen
that he uttered no sentiments not in perfect
accord with our neutrality laws and his
duties as citizen of the United States
The speech was made at the great German
meeting in New York, where General Sigel
responded to call from the patriotic sons
of the Fatherland:
have listened with pleasure to the many
excellent speeches Of the evening, and as
the last Of the speakers now intend to
bring up the rear" As German-Ameri-
cans, we should not be content with max
ing speeches and hurrahing for King Viii
liam, we should, according to the best of
our ability, strengthen the Prussian army
We should strengthen it by contributing
m0ney-nOt hundreds, not thousands, but
millions of dollars. Therefore, when the
list Of subscription shall be circulated. not
the name of a single German should be
missing. Your enthusiasm will be firm,
whether victory or defeat may at first await
Germany-firm in every case. Let us not
be deceived. The French people are foe
not to be despised; they are great nation.
But if there are 40,0O0,O00 of Frenchmen,
there are 81, OOO,O 900 of Germans. Napoleon
has forgotten to count in the Germans of
South Germany, the Germans of Austria,
the Germans of the United States. They all
stand by the Fatherland; they all will re-
main firm in their support until the last
Frenchman shall be driven from German
SOIL, should they ever occupy it.
The Germans will oppose the invaders
with their whole strength; they have to
match against the sick man of France the
old robust William; against the sickly child
OF France two princes vigorous in mind and
body; against the arrogance of Grammont
the courage of Bismarck; against an arti-
nclal fanaticism calm hrmness and perse
verance. We expect the sympathy of
America-we expect it in the name of the
services which we have rendered to the
cause of the United State, in the name of
the 200 900 German soldiers who have
fought for the preservation of the American
Union, as German citizens of America, as
the mediators of the future close alliance
between the American and German nations
The president then called for three cheers
tor free and united Germany, which We're
given with the widest enthusiasm, the
whole audience rising, waving their hats
and handkerchiefs
