The Louisiana Savings Bank and Safe
Deposit Company has elected as its presi-
dent that well-known citizen, DR.. j. S.
Copes. The stockholders are notified to
pay on the first of November a ten per
cent installment upon the amount Of their
subscriptions. 1t is understood that no
more than fifty per cent will be called in
on assessments. A large income is likely
to be made by this bank from specie
deposits. It's immense vault affords am
pie accommodation for more than three
thousand depositors, each of whom can
have his own private safe and safe key.
It is limited that other banks will refer
their customers bank boxes to the Safe
Deposit Company as soon as the Camp
street building is ready for use.
We learn that the Hibernia Bank has
already fire business, and although it
has not been in operation month, its
discounts cover over 500, 600. The we'll
known reputation Of its managers, for
shrewdness and financial ability affords
an ample guaranty that this amount of
accommodation to our business COM
munitv has been extended with safety to
stockholders. Popular confidence in the
institution was shown by the amount of
the first days deposits, 100000. The
average daily deposits amount to $4,000.

There has been quite a contrast between
the appreciation shown by the Demo-
cratic constituents in the Second Sena-
torial District of ex-senator Anthony
sambola, and the Republican ones of
Senator Campbell. It will be recollected
that Mr.. Sambola was unseated by the
Senate, his credentials being based on q
scratched return sent in by General
Buchanan. Nevertheless, Mr.. Sambola
kept up long and vigorous contest,
worthy Of a better and more hopeful
cause. For all this he is thrown overheard
by his party, and they take up George
Cronan, Esq, very good man, but one
who has gone through no such trials and
prosecutions. On the other hand,
Senator Campbell is triumphantly renom-
mated by his Republican constituents,
who honor his successful efforts in their
behalf. Verify the Democratic party, in
its treatment Of its tried warehouses like
Sambola, Wurzburger and others, is try
ing to prove the ungratef1lness of re-
pubiics.

ALLEGED SCARCITY OF LABOR,

The Tines, in the course Of charac-
teristc lament that the cotton crop is too
large to be picked without some outlay of
hard work, gets off the following:
The withdrawal of the stout, able-bodied
(colored) women from the fields is a loss of
One-third, at least of the realizable crop.
Labor which would be regarded as light by
the white women in the agricultural dis
tricts Of Germany and France, is scorncd
by our "cOlOred sisters And the men,
like their white brethren, rather encourage
this lady-like pride and taste. How long
will this last!
That is to say, before calling upon able
bodied white men to pull off their coats
and earn an honest living, the colored
women should be forced to 60 out and do
mans work. The estimation in which
the peasant white women in France or
Germany would hold such work as cotton
picking has little to do with the question
here. 1t is purely an American question
A concern Of Southern interest. We
know that our white men have been raised
up in the belief that it is degrading to
work, but entirely in accordance with the
qualities of gentleman to lounge about
corner groceries, to gamble, hunt, fish,
ride horse races, bet and cheat at the
races, shoot everybody who displeases,
live rollicking vagabond sort Of life in
general. If they would emulate the con-
duct of the colored men, and go to work
wherever they could be most useful, even
into the cotton field if necessary, they
would at least be able to give their own
female relatives a support Of some sort,
and add greatly to the productive labor of
the State.
The colored people, male and female,
are perfectly independent of the owners
of the plantations, and will, probably,
within few years 60 to farming on their
own account. But if they choose to hire
their services to another, we'll and good.
If they do not, but prefer to work for
themselves and be their own masters, they
have perfect right to do so. At all
events, they are quite right to keep their
wives, daughters and sisters within doors,
and leave to the overgrown sons and
daughters of the planters an opportunity
to earn few dollars in an honest way, in
the picking season.
The days Of coercion are past, and no

The " shakespeare - Performance.

Why the amateur dramatic association,
known as the Shakespeare Club" should
have christened themselves as they have,
will remain a mystery forever. The club
doesn't play Shakespearc's plays often, and
they. are wise in not doing SO. Amateurs
generally can do better under the influence
Of a less vaulting ambition. The club gives
the public a series Of delightful perform
ances, but they are not Shakespearian. If
the members were play writers, or play
wrights even, the name would have some
tinge Of appropriateness, but as far as the
public is concerned they are only amateur
actors, and there is nowhere extant any
trustworthy record that Shakespeare was
eminent as an actor.
But whatever the merits of the clubs
name, there can be no doubt as to the merits
OF the clubs performance of Monday even
ing. The audience was frst-class, to begin
with. 1t was all the house could hold, and
1t was made up of the best material that
New Orleans could furnish, and when that
is said there is no higher compliment pos
sible. There was 'store Of ladies' and so
many of them We're friends Of the Shakes
peares' that the actors, had they been on a
level with Bottoms cOntreres in "Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" would have been sure
of abundance of comfort and encouragement
in the way of applause. The applause given
was deserved, however, and the perform
ance averaged better then any other this
club has given during the past season.
The Wellington dc Boots of Mr. j. was
a really excellent piece of acting, and a
more artistic rendition than this gentle
mans recent effort as Robert INacaire. fine
as that was. Mr.. j has the material in
him for comedian of very high order,
and fairly earned the abundant commenda-
ton shOwered upon him by his friends
The Leebrook and Feathe,!y of Messrs. c.
and R were capitally presented; the
former gentleman shows decided progress in
the art histrionic.
We were unable to see much OF .'Slasher
and Crasher," but what we did see, was
well done by Messrs. c. and s..
The ladies who appeared were up to the
requirements Of their parts, and added
greatly to the evenings entertainment.

man har4 right to-expectanother odo
his hard work for him, unless the price to
be paid ib satisfactory. And before we
force delicate women into the cotton
fields, we say, let us first try the men, If
they prove unequal to the heat and burden
of the day we may then consider the pro-
priety Of falling back upon the women.
If planter undertakes to till more
acres than he can hire labor to attend to,
he will have only himself to blame. He
can not cd erce men to work for him, and
if he has not the tact to get along he had
better offer his own services as field
hand to some enterprising, intelligent
colored ueighbor, who will be able to
give him a home, plenty of work, good
pay and Kind treatment. Undoubtedly,
with NOR help more cotton and sugar
could be raised, just as with more money
a man will be able to extend his opera
tons. Bit as there is no limit to what
might be done if one had the means, so
there is 4 positive limit to what can
be done with the slender means in hand.
And if 6 ktra exertions are required in
case Of pinch, the party who is most
deeply interested in the result must make
it. If field hands could be persuaded to
work all day and through the greater part
OF the night, without an advance in pay,
no MI
some profits. But we can see no justice
III sacrificing the health and strength of
one man merely to enrich another.
Neither YTould we invade the domestic
circle and drag women into the cotton
fields in order to swell the already enor-
nous profits Of the nabob, whose sons are
loatng abPut the parish ready to ''shoot
Niger" On the slightest provocation.
Hercules helps those who help themselves,
and if mo work is required by the plan
ter than his money can secure for him, he
will do well to call in his immediate
friends aAd dependents, and leave the
colored Women to look after their own
concerns in their husbands cabins.
None bat their families have any claims
upon then 4, and they should be the judges
OF what il best for their own interests.

Administrator Shaw offered an ordi-
nance last night in the Council, which is
published in our report Of the proceedings
OF that body in another column, providing
for cashing Metropolitan warrants as
soon as possible after the first of each
month, If the officers of the Metropolitan
Board will furnish the warrants in time.
1t appears the men are not in the habit Of
receiving their warrants until after the
middle, and even considerably later in
the month. By this delay they are COM
PEELED to sell their warrants in advance.
The brokers buy them, and they are alb
sorbed into the city treasury in payment
of taxes.
The ordinance in question proposes that
with the consent of the Metropolitan
Board, the warrants be delivered to the
men Immediately after the close of each
month. The city will then cash the war;
rants, if in the hands of the first parties,
or those who earned the money. The
confusion resulting from their payment
for taxes will thus be prevented, and the
great wrong of making the policemen
lose brokerage will be done
away with. The city will merely antici-
pate what it is inevitably bound to pay,
Or what is just the same thing, receive for
taxes. Its policy of paying promptly ell
current liabilities will be vindicated, and
the city will be in no manner the loser,
the recipients be gamers.
