Root Fog or Die.

Our energetic city marshal has been
pounding peoples Logs which he has
found INDUCING in little games of square
root, tee by and forbidden streets of the
corporation. He has been doing it 10
carry ont the provisions of an ordinance
passed by the city council some time
since. Under the charter, as we under
stand it, an ordinance must be published
fifteen days to become a law. Our
marshal saw it in different light, and
made raid on the truant swine last
Sa,urday-just Ten days after its first
publication-an several of our citizens
had to come down with dollar for each
porker gobbled.
Tho owners of hogs ought to keep
them IN a pen. If they won't do it the
common council ought to have 'em, (the
hoss) pounded. We haven't the least
respect for any hogs running Mt largo
They are the root of much evil, and
SHOULD be restrained. But if we owned
a hog, and the city marshal arrested him
un'ler the ordinance passed recently, we
would not bail him out one cents worth.
According to the charter the hog had
the freedom of the city till the ordinance
had teen published fifteen days, and tho
vigilant marshal had no right to put him
in durance vile and then demand dollar
for the act. Might don't make right,
even in the neg business.

COTTON CLAIMS.
Communicated

1t is 8 well known fact that many loyal
citizens in the South during the war voiun =
tarily surrendered their cotton to the United
States authorities. 1t was confscated from
other loyal men, and proper receipts given
by duly authorized agents. The cotton was
sold at from fifty to ninety cents per pound,
and the proceeds accounted for to the
United States treasury.
Under an act approved March IL, 1868,
ITO provide for the collection OF abandon
ed property, and for the prevention of fraud
in the lnsurrectionary districts within the
United States" such persons as could prove
their loyalty to the United States govern
ment could recover the amount of their
claims; but as that act was never officially
published in the State of Louisiana, nor IN
any of the insurrectionary districts, very
few knew how to proceed to recover what
was clearly due to them until they found
out that their claims were prescribed by
limitation of time to prosecute before the
Court of Claims.
1t is estimated that about Is, 600 bales OF
cotton, amounting in value to from three to
five millions of dollars, were voluntarily sur.
rendered and confscated, belonging exclu-
sively to a class Of citizens, white and col
ored, of limited means, who can not recover
on account of the reasons named, and Tor
having been ignorant of the nature of the act.
If the State Legislature should represent
this matter to the consideration of citizens,
it is very probable the time to prosecute
such claims would be extended, and the
heart of many men be gladdened by receiv'
ing what is due to them from the govern
ment. Will not the Legislature consider
this matter? j. 4.

MADRID, March l4.-A duel between the
Duke de Montpensier and Prince Enrique
de Bourbon occurred this morning. The
latter was killed. Seconds Of the Duke
were Gen erals Cordovas and Alaminor;;
Those of the Prince were Senor Rubis and
another, name unknown, both Republican
deputies in the Cortes. The affair created
much excitement. They fought seven
miles from Madrid. Bourbon won first shot.
Both missed at ten PAGES. They ad'
vanced to within seven PAGES, when
Bourbon fred and missed. 'Montpen-
sier's ball struck BOurbon's head. Bourbon
expired in few minutes. The Duke was
calm during the combat, but much affected
when the result was announced. AS Prince
! Henri was poor, the Duke proposes to pro-
vide for his family. The cause of the quar-
rel was a letter addressed by the Prince to
the Dukes adherents. Henri de Bourbon
was brother of the Prince de Assis, con-
| sort of Isabella and cousin of the Duke de
| Montpensier's wife.
| Prim denounces as utterly false the rumor
that he proposes to sell Cuba to the United
States.

Collector Casey.

The following article, corresponding in
papers, is taken from that sterling Repub.
lican journal, the Assumption Chronicle
edited by Il. L. Swords and Thomas
Divine:
In the Chronicle of the seventeenth
ultimo we had occasion to refer to James
F. Casey. Collector of the Port and District
of New Orleans, in connection with the late
sugar frauds.
We have nothing to retract as to the
statement made then, but from the course
very recently pursued by Mr.. Casey regard
ing the removal of frst-class and working
Republicans, we must confess that ne Is
terribly inconsistent.
On the morning of the 2sth ultimo
we had conversation with the Collector
and from his own admission, had every rea'
son to believe him in full. accord with the
great party that had placed him in the posi-
ton which he now fills. On that very after.
noon he decapitated fifty-nine Republicans,
and left in the old grey building the rem
nants of the Seymour Knights, Blair Guards
and the Casey Cadets.
Collector Casey cannot be q true Rspub-
lican, when he drops from his lists men
who are not only true to their party, men
who dared to proclaim themselves Republi
cans in the dark days of the Grant campaign
and who are thoroughly acquainted with
the routine OF Cust0mhOuse business.
And now it has come to this, for the Re
publican press to unite and demand, aye
demand his removal. We have been from
the very first strong supporters of Collector
Casey, out we cannot any longer stand pas
sively by and see good, honest, patriotic
capable men displaced to give room for the
members of Seymour Knights, &c.
Every friend of the present nationa
and State government in Louisiana de-
| mand his removal, and we but echo tht
sentiments Of the general public, when Wa
ask the President to Immediately remove
! this man, who has displaced the friends O.
| the administration and put in their places
avowed enemies Of the national and State
governments.
The Republican party of this State loob
| to their Representatives at the national cspi
tai to bring this matter before the Presi-
dent, and place a man in the New Orleant
| Customhouse who has been weighed an(
not found wanting, and who has sufficlen
courage to stand TO what he says.
To the Republican press of Louisiana we
say, join hands and demand Mr.. Casey's i'm
mediate removal, for he has broken faitf
with the Republican party, and is no Longer
worthy of occupying the highest position il
the gift of the national government for tht
State of Louisiana.

Fritz. Our German Cousin.

Charles Gayler's new play. "Fritz," drew
out a full house at the st. Charles Theatre
last night, and, what, does not always occur
in the case of new pieces, afforded IN
qualified delight throughout the perform.
ance. The plot is simple, but natural
and at no time. draws largely upon
the credulity OR any other emotion
of the audience, except their risi-
biIity. Fritz lEmmetN, German
immigrant, arrives in New York in the same
ship with the young Fraulein Katrina
(Miss Alice Grey. Supposed to have some
money, both are immediately beset By
sharpers, Fritz for his box and Katrina fol
her beauty and supposed wealth. After
various vicissitudes, they finally make fol
themselves home in the country, and
Fritz becomes well-to-0o miller. During
their sojouru in New York city
Fritz engages with the proprietor
of the Grand Internal ional Concert Hall
During this engagement he comes out in
the original character burlesques, in which
Emmett shines with brilliancy and orig
inality that we were hardly prepared for
"Dat Crecian Pend" Walking dat Proad
way Down." and Captain Schmidt
are quite inimitable, and provoked
immoderate laughter from natural
ly rather sedate and intellectual au
dence. Mr.. Emmett's performance OF
the mouth harmonicon" is at once arts
tic, surprising, and irresistibly comical. HI
concluded his character illustrations by
giving, by way of banjo solo and accompani
mant, ga receipt for making sour krout.'
The third act shows Fritz in his happy home
which is finally invaded by some of his ole
city enemies, who attempt to wreal
revenge upon his family for some
OF his former successes. But as
the villains have already run a caree,
quite long enough for the patience of the
audience. Fritz is permitted to make short
| work of them, to the unqualified satisfaction
and delight of every behoder. The plsy is
full of interesting situation and opportuni-
ties for points, in which Emmett excels.
There is sufficient variety and diversity tc
commend itself in one place or an.
other to people of different dramatic
tastes, and will be sure to remain popular
here during the short term of the present
engagement. It is the best hit the St.
Charles management has made this season,
and we congratulate Mr.. Pope upon his good
fortune in securing three such attractive
features as Charles Gayler, Fritz" and
Emmett, all at once.

Probably the worst slandered man during

friend, Captain R. W. Francis, of the Ie,re-

ceeded in rebutting the testimony against
his character, but in proving it to come en-
tirely from personal and political enemies,
and to be the result of jealousy and preju-
those who know him. In some localities in
this state, the fact!of mans being Repub-
