DEAD AGAIN.

The Emperor Grinalkin has shed
another Hfe-by cable, making the third;
just six remain. Presently King William
will find history repeating itself in the
style commonly accepted, and he will be
obliged, incontinently, to strike an atti-
tude which, we believe, is the dramatic
phrase, exclaiming over again
'Methinks there be six-somebodics-in the field
Five have slain already.'
That is to say, if it be allowable under
the poetic license to give him credit for
the death ascribed by cable, which infalli-
bly, lies, to apoplexy. That Napoleon is
doomed to death is just as certain as that
he has nine lives. Eut any who believe
that he is to be killed by King William or
any individual agent of such burly old
monarch from Prince Frederick Charles
down to the most adventurous and defiant
bushwhacker or picket of the Prussian
army, simply doesn't know Nap. in the
warlike or military sense. He wrote
books long ago, and is thinker, and
HE thinks the grea est good is done
By taking care OF number one,
and let us say here, and try now to be I'M
derstood, that it is not to the entire dy-
nasty of Louis Napoleon, nephew of the
great Napoleon, who had the most blood
less and historical fight in all history with
DR.. Hudson, at St. Helena, lasting as it
did for years, that We are opposed; weare
hostile, although not in military sense,
to the ''nasty," while decidedly in a mill
tary sense we favor the die" So let the
cable work, and the harvest TEEN, and the
mill grind its grist, and blow up, and the
remaining six lives be lost. We will only
exclaim in the language Of that greater
monarch than crowned monarchs, to
whom these were puppets, and who, as a
professor of biology leads into all ludi-
crous excuses his present subject, is go
ing to lead men through all time, the
most painful of which known to us, is in
our present magnetic, or in other words,
sensational vision Of stern old William

Horatio Seymour, whose name is ia
miliar for having been kind of rear
guard in the last presidential campaign,
is now engaged in little skrimmage with
his baggage train, He does not want
Chinese auxiliaries in any shape, while
his camp followers demand their presence
as scullions. The people will probably
say, as they ever did, that both of these
parties are now, as they ever were, split
ting hairs about q question which they
will not be called upon to decide. The
Republican party proposes to adjust this
problem with such exact justice, that
neither the Chinaman shall challenge the
perfect iberality of our laws, nor the labor
of the country suffer from the incorpora-
ton into our industrial system of class
of men working merely to keep body and
soul together. 1t is now, as it has ever
been, the aim and duty of the Republican
party to iberate mankind, and make free
to its use the beautiful and bounteous
land which it has redeemed from slavery.
And part of this plan is to prove that all
men are equal in its eyes.

A tribe of Indians living on the great
desert, built big in the legs and small IN

ing garden sass for Moss with all the
resignation of a Kennebec graduate.
They travel incredible distances without
water, and eat or let it alone, as the cir
cumstances of the larder demand. They
prefer to have irregular meals, say at two
or three days apart, but when they go in
for a lunch one of our restaurants
would have to guard the fat
waiter if more than two men
determined to satisfy themselves at the
counter at the same meal. Six Of them
ate in one night horse that weighed one
Thousand pounds, and when the table
cloth was shaken up nothing but the boots
fell off in the shape of crumbs AS a fur
ther evidence Of their capacity twenty OF
them ate thirty horses and never took
drop of water to wet their whistles with.
Mr.. Moss pays these gentle and Unsuitable
creatures fifty cents per day and their
board, which suggests to US that he must
have a horse mandatory near, or he
would certainly stand i'll danger of being
swallowed by some unthoughtful Indian
by mistake. But they worship Moss,
and he is safe because of this
salutary and abiding idolatry which he
has cultivated for twenty-five years in
twenty-one languages. Just suppose that
Moss had made his appearance in the
Hancock Club about lunch time with his
brigade, two years ago, and proposed to
vote the Democratic ticket for full belly
all around, what poser that would have
been to J. Pinclney Smith! 1t is doubt
full if the trade could have been engi-
neered, distressing as the emergency was.
If Moss ever wants to get away let him
try wig, and see if his Piute friends do
not go for him. He will then wish that
he was built about the legs like one of his
friendly Indians.

THE HATCH.BROWN INVENTION.

Brown to sit beside me in the convention
Beside me, Think of it. Twas always in
favor of allowing our ''collerd' citizens the
privilege of sitting above US, in the gallery;
or behind us, back of the railing; but now
it appals me, he is to sit beside us. Any
where Anywhere, but beside us. Is this
what have fought for Is this what have
spent nights after nights in our ward coffee
house, arguing and convincing our political
friends that this thing should never occur!
Good Mr.. Hatch, do you know, sir, that
some people will think that if our col
ored citizens are good enough to sit
with lis in convention, their children are
good enough to associate with our boys9
And, too, don't you think your Sammy will

to this, Mr.. Hatch, and you mustn't do
it. And, Mr.. Hatch, why didn't you
choose Mr.. Black or Mr.. Grief, or Mr..
Tumas! Mr.. Brown, you know, could
never be found. Why its only last week l
sued Mr.. Brown; and, if you will believe
me, the sheriff cited twenty-nine Mr.
Browns; and, then the right one was not
found. Your friend, Mr.. Hatch, Il refer to
Mr.. Slidell), would never have been guilty
of such an oversight. He would have
written it Mr.. Aleck Watkins of Polocoma
Plantation, parish Iberville; and SO. you
see. people would really think he meant
something; but simple Brown is too
common. You have forgotten the old gentle
mans teaching 1t is true the old school
corner of Canal and Exchange alley is
closed, and has been SO for long time; but,
bless us. you must not forget what you
learned there. Those heterogeneous Now,
Mr.. Hatch, why didn't you get some one else
to write or dictate them! Don't you know
vet that in the dictiOn of a paragraph mans
style will surely be shown in the shadow
thereof If the Mr.. Brown has eruditiOn
enough to put these carefully written ques-
tons, why have you been teaching our
ward club that these fellows were without
the semblance of brain! 1t really is, sir,
an emergency, and if you desire to get our
colored friends to believe in the authenticy
of Mr.. Browns letter you must get it
quickly copied by some of your illiterate
supporters. Have it done very badly. The
worse the better; and then send the copy
to the REPUBLICAN as the original thing.
Our country friends did not know anything
about it, and have been labOring for three
months writing up political speeches to be
used in the country parishes, and not
word have ! said to lead the poor fellows to
believe they would be allowed to approach
us nearer than the back ratings of the Con-
vention hall. In the same situation as is

ferees in coming forward that alone pre-
vents the finishing and closing up Of the
floating debt statement. Another reason
for advising transferees to come forward
is, that they are losing interest every day,
as pay rolls bear no back interest. Sigma

emily not so, are rejected, even when
security is offered.

A BIG INDIAN STORY.

This is a wonderful age, and not the
least wonderful feature in it is the fact
that man named Moss, in Cali fornia, has
found way to utilize the Indians. AS
matter of course, this will not be believed
in Mississippi, Arkansas or Texas, where
the effort to turn the gentle savage
to useful account hos always been accom-
panied by making the toughest kind of a
hair dresser out of him. With the excep-
ton of Logan, who had knack for
making stump speeches, we never heard OF
an Indian that did not prefer scalping
human beings, or stealing horses, to plow-
ing a living out of loamy soil. They have
no appetite for spelling-books, except to
use for wadding in shot-guns. But Moss
has not lived twenty-five years among
them, barefooted at both ends, and learn

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The market is positively stupid. Even
the brokers themselves seem to have lost
interest in its little spasms of business,
and don't spend much of their valuable O.
time in trying to get current news. If
there is anything that excites general
attention it is the Grand United Caronde-
let Street Base Ball Club and Stock Com
pany. The institution is not yet char
tered by the Legislature, and it is by no
means we'll settled whether the bill that
will be introduced can get the Governors
signature. But this will not deter the
enthusiastic movers in this enterprise. A
great example is already before them,
which attained success, and held it for
longer time than will be required for
the new association. In fact, the advantage
is all on the side of the base ballers. They
have from now to the meeting Of the next
session of the Legislature, all the
session, and then, if the Governor won't
sign the bill, long season in which to
simmer dowA gently and imperceptibly,
while they are working off, upon SAN
guine outsiders, their remnants of the GER
tifcates emitting holders to shares when
the company is properly organized.
Several different drafts Of the charter
have been prepared, but consolidation
of the various interests and views will
undoubtedly be made. The first nine are
pretty much agreed on, and they are
a formidable set We shall publish the
list as soon as it can safely be done.
Slaughterhouse is holding itself up ia
mously. There has been an average of
ten dollars per share paid in upon the

not for the fact that we can remember
sales at from $50 to $40, we might sup
pose the stock in first rate condition.
Possibly former high prices were the re-
suit of innocent efforts in the way of
speculation, for the company now seems
in a vastly better position than ever be-

lost eminence within any reasonably
short time, is not wonderfully good, I'M
