Too TRUE.-The New Orleans correspondent of til

Too TRUE.-The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Democrat thus writes:
Notwithstanding Warmoth's conduct in New Orleans,
account of the immense patronage which he Yields,
he is beginning to be received into white society," and
can occasionally be seen in the company of men Oh
whose reputation there is stain, that of being
seen in his society. There is no single issue of the
official radical organ which does not contain list of
bis appointments and to-day he has as many nice
little berths to bestow the giftreceiving brotherin
law of our esteemed and worthy Collector of the PORT
James Casey.
Among the greatest toadies to the party in power
are certain number of bogus Democrats, men who,
in the curious state of affairs which existed at the close
of the war; managed to be recognized representatives
of that party. As the only object of these gentlemen
was to fill their individual pockets, it is no wonder
their conduct has disguised and dsheartened the rank
and file of the Democratic party.

lady writer in the Boston Post is severe upon
female clerks, and remarks: "The rudeness and i'll
breeding of majority of girls behind the counter
becoming almost unbearable, and am rot surprised
when hear ladies say they prefer some store where
they employ male clerks, nor employers when they tell
me they prefere male clerks to female because they
please their customers better Girls themselves are
shutting avenues of labor to their by their man
ners toward those whom they serve ard all the work
of reformers will do no good until the girls learn to
work with them and deserve what they demand"

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 27.-On Sunday last, Gov
Bullock, of Georgia, and Hubert, the Superintendent
of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, who were
en- route from Washington to Atlanta, took entire pos
session of the sleeping between Chattanooga and
Atlanta compelling the passengers to sit up all night
The Governor was travelling in imperial style, being
attended by officer and twenty men, equipped and
uniformed as United States troops Four men and the
officer stood guard in the inside of the car and two
men were stationed at each door, the other men were
in the car adjoining. 1t is said the valiant Governor,
though so strongly guarded, was extremely fearful Of
being Ku Kluxed before reaching Atlanta but strange
as it may seem in view of the many reported outrages
in that outraged State, be was not moested at any
point the route.

A PUBLIC NU1sANcE.-Neck- Breaking Gy"eeastie
Amusements.-The scandal of female gymnastics is
exciting the press and the authorities of London.
German female gymnast has been walking on wire
fifty feet above the pit of the Hoborn Circus, with
her little child her shoulders. To look up fifty feet
at woman skipping about invisible wire
great delight but to watch mother and child in such
peril was ecstasy, and the house crowded nightly
The Police Commissioners wrote to the managers and
requested them to leave out the baby. Blondin and
Leotard and three hundred imtators drew we'll for
time but people got tired of them Then there were
female Blondins and Leotards, and every music
hall in England has its troupes Of female gymnasts and
acrobats, appearing as naked as so many South Sea
Islanders, in the most groesque and perilous positions
for a little money and much applause. One woman
said to be French carries her husband and three well
grown children round the stage on her shoulders
another throws herself from the flying trapeze, and
caught in mid-air by man swinging head downward
holding by his toes forty feet above the footights
Such performances these, with crash of music,
glare of tinsel and crammed house, filled with the
fumes of gin, beer and tobacco constitute the nightly
amusements of perhaps half million Of the enlight
ened British public.

Major Nillnger, in paper read before the Anthro-
poical Society, tells us that IAN the women in Con-
stantinope are slave dealers. Every woman who has
any capital to invest becomes importer of her sex
from Clrcassia The business is safe and profitable
Tor white slaves are necessity the Musselmen dy-
nasty Its contrary to the statutes of the Empire for
the Sultan or his family to marry any but slaves and
in the seaglo is the Circassians who receive the
best treatment and alone attain the highest donors
SO intimately is slavery bound up with the social and
political system Of Turkey that in the opinion of Mai
Milnger, the extinction of the former must imply the
destruction of the latter .-- - " -.

In commenting upon the views of a correspondent
OF this paper over the signature of &C., who recently
favored us with communication the subject of low
water navigation, the Mansfield Reporter says:
As to the proposition of &C to deepen BAYOU
LaIhnte 10 Grand Bayou and thence into the river so
as to feed the river from that point down. as it is
fed by the Wincey, we hesitate not to say it would
cost OF Hseh alone larger amount of money than
need be spent to open and remove all obstrnctione
through Tones bayou aud Bayou Pierre Lake into the
river through the Wincey. We think this is the only
improvement which can accomplish the purpose Of
securing good low water navigation to Shreveport.
Let these suggestions be tested by re.survey of these
outlets and we feel assured the truth of our assertion
will be maintained and established We call upon
the good people Of Shreveport to move in this matter
and waste no more money in efforts to fight against
nature an closing Tones bayou. Water will run down
hill and seek always its most natural channel. and
until these laws Of nature are reversed let Tones
bayou alone and open the distractions below.

In regard to the late horrible Richmond disaster

and the insecurity of the building, the Wing says
A committee of architects, called by the Superin
tendent of Public Buildings to inspect the capitol
have pronounced it insecure. They have gone so far
to express the opinion that the whole interior is
unsound to render it probable that, even without
the furniture, books and other contents, it would fall
in Of its own weight in from three to five years We
may conclude with its present contents it is liable at
any time to fall in. This suggests the Importance of
making arrangements for the Immediate removal from
the building of everything it contains and their trans
fer to some place of security.

"A LEGAL RAy."-Under this caption the New Or
leans Times says some very severe and cruel things of
the legal lumnary whose efulgent beams have shed
such briancy the dark pages of the written
law of this State Hear it:
The amentabe fact is admitted, after close H.
vestigaon by Judges and lawyers, learned in the law,
that Louisiana has no status to punish criminal and
that it has become the paradise of thieves cuthroats
and rnurderers, with "none to make them afraid"
The Legislature selects of its own members, John
Ray, backwoods, swamp lawyer, who has been for
several years divorced from his profession, devoted to
planting and politics. slightly mixed up with railroad
schemes of doubtful propety, to cody the laws and
make new Civil Code and Code of Practce-a work
that took Justnan, aided by the most distinguished
ursconsults of Rome years to perfect and Napoleon,
with the aid Of the wsest lawyers of France, some
three years to debate pretended to be accomplished
by Ray in six months or less and for compensation
equal to the Presidents yearly salary. To make it a
complete bunder it is printed in the backwoods
by brother OF Rays, on a broken-down country
press in style that entities it. Beckwth says to be
called the "unwritten or imprinted law of Louisiana,
and very common law at that"
Col. Volney Hall, Vice President of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, has been in town for a
couple Of days, hunting up gentlemen who willing
to loan bis company funds with which to construct
thirteen miles more of the road.
MT HalI assures US that II ne can borrow Sutncent
amount that he will build the road to the Sabine river
by the lst of January next This news SO good that
we can hardly realize its truth. Is it fact that the
loan of $l69, 900 by citizens to the company, at
ten per cent payable semannually, will place the
Southern Pacific Railroad within twenty-fve miles of
our city?
The Vice President has assured US that he will build
the road, and mistake if he can obtain the neces-
sary loan. Some of our citizens have come forward
on former occasion and acted the part of liberal gen.
tlemen; and we confident that there many 9TH
ers who are able and willing to aid in so laudable an
enterprise. Are there not hundred men in Smith
county who will loan the company couple Of thou
sand each to extend the road to the Sabine nearly
the eastern boundary of our county? We might men
ton the names of almost double that number of gen.
tlemen who we think, would be more than anxious to
make the investment. Besides, there are four times
that number who could loan the company, without
any inconvenience to themselves, from $500 to $1,000.
We trust our people will give the matter due refec
ton and not suffer this opportunity of getting rail-
road to pass. Remember that more than one -fourth
OF the amount will be saved to in the reights and
charges of our next crop. Tyler Index.
