Mesdames Woodhnll & Clafin, whom
the Princess Editha Gilbert Montez ac-
cuses OF appropriating $4, 900 worth OF
valuables left with them for safe keeping,
tells story which puts an entirely differ
ent light upon the matter. They say that
she came to them In rags and told a pitlfnl
tale of want and despair, which induced
them to assist in bringing her before the
public as a iecturess in order to enable
her TO earn An honest living. The idea OF
her owning jewels worth four thousand
dollars appears to them utterly ridiculous.

The Death or Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton
-End of a Fast Young Man

A telegram from London reports the
death on Saturday last of an unfortunate
younp man whose naae has recently
gained ali unenviable notoriety in connec-
ton with the {" Bouiton masqueraders
case. - He was the thiId son of Henry. fifth
Duke of Newcastle, by Lady Susan HRr
riet Catherine, only daughter of Alexander,
tenth Duke of Hamilton, and was born On
the 23d of June, $40. His mother, it will
be remembered, was divorced from his
father in 1850, thu affair creating great ex-
citement IN aristoeratic circles in England,
she having been guilty OF infidelity to her
husband. The Dnke, 10y the way, who
held prominent position among English
statesmen. having been member OF the
cabinets of Aberdeen and Palmerston, is
SAID to have teeE the model If DlsraelIs s

He accompanied the Prince OF Wales to
the United States and Canada In 1860. and
died four years later
The subject OF this sketch, Lord Arthur
Pelham Clinton. was -iucated at Eton,
and soon alter his graduation entered the
rOyal navy, OF which be beanie IA heuten-
ant Becoming tired q the service he lett
it without leave, and, after some time
spent in going from point to point, WAS
arrested as a deeerter. Family influence,
however, prevented his being cashiered,
and he Was allowed to resign his comsais-
sion. He then went to london, where he
appears to have led wild life. In 1868
he was elected member of Parliament
from Newark, serving until 1868. but tax
ing little or no part in the debates of the
House. In fashionable parlance he was
fast" and in his career of dissipation
had for companions members Of the most
ari4to cratic families Of England, including,
ns wonId appear from letters recently
found, the Prince of Wales himself. A
few weeks ago the decreased, with others,
wna arrested Oh a very serions charge, still
pending, and III which the United States
consul ut Glasgow IS implicated. HIS
death so soon after, compiled with his dy-
ing declaration Of innocence, Indicates
that the gravity of his position preyed
upon his mind and accelerated, if it did
not actually cause, the end Of his earthly
Iifc. His dying declaration that the as
sumption of women's clothing by the mas
queraders WAS merely in frolic will donbt-
less go far towards exculpating the other
gentlemen under arrest from the suspicion
of having committed most horrible of
fense, for which the laws of England pro
vide severe punishment.

WHAT Is THE MEANING?

Two rather inconsistent public demon
STATIONS have marked the history of New
Orleans, within the last six weeks, the
which not only testify as to the diversity
Of our people, but as to the sentiments
that divide them. A certain class of peo-
pie, pretending to be actively and enthusi-
astically welded to the institutions Of the
United States, took upon themselves the
responsibility of protesting, on the one
part, against the occupation Of Rome. by
Victor Emanuel. Strange to say, these
protestants were not Italians, but ON the
contrary had not seen Italy, and had no
knowledge of what change was needed in
Italian government. Another certain
class, also claiming to be citizens Of the
United States, and many of them very
active opponents of the civil rights OF a
large body of American citizens. assem-
bled IN council, on the other part, and

GOOD TIMES COMING.

When the people come to their senses
sufficiently to admit the truth in all
things as the Democrats are now doing in
regard to the nominations which were set
up in their name ct the last election, we
may complacently assume that the pros
pect is growing better. Such a conclu-
sion of the popular mind will have one
immediate effect that the party which
puts up the best man will get the most
votes, whether he is Republican Or
Democrat. And this is the right way to
run the political machine. Why should
citizen indorse suspected rascal because
he has proved the suspicion by buying
nomination from party convention?
Why should the community entrust its
taxes into the hands of a man whose
credit is by-word with all classes? Does
a nomination so purify rascality that hon
esty may indorse it, without deflement?
It is admitted in high and respectable
quarters that the Democracy was beaten
in the last canvass, because its nominees
could not bring out the better portion Of
the party. etthis be warning to the
Republicans, that so long as they nomi-
nate the best men they will not only win,
but they will do more they viii deserve
to win. If both parties are coming down
to the bedrock of honesty and capacity,
the chances are tolerably fair for g great
reformation and lively time. Good men
provoke pleasant contests.

The Planters Banner declares Tat Mis-

the election of 3. Gratz Brown. As Gov

and as the ticket on which he was elected
was a Republican ticket, it will not be as
perceptible to Hatch as it is to bennett
that theAshite mans party has made any

reported of the Shreveport GdSet1e that it

the same issue, it had the pluck to
refer to Mr.. Seth Adams, as rowdy
deserving of arrest and punishment for
brandishing his pistol in defiance
Of .the civil authorities and the ordi-
nances Of the city. Now this is coming
out all right A deserving public officer

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The week that has just ended was
marked with more animation, in financial
circles, than the previous one. Although
the money pressure still continues and
borrowers still pay from l. to p per cent
a month on collaterals. There is not SO
much complaint Of the scarcity Of cur
rency. There are indications, indeed,
that the crisis is drawing near to its close,
and that something like the activity of
former seasons will again prevail in
Carondklet street
During the week there have been
several episodes in the stock market, and
some very interesting conflicts between
the bulls and bears in fancy stocks. The
iveliest fight was on Calcasieu, which
was the object Of violent and determined
assault on the part Of the bears, who sue
ceeded, after q two days struggle, in put
ting it down from Is to y. At this point
operations ceased, and the stock began to
recover.
Yesterday it was in good request and
was sought for at 10 and even II. Had it
not been for the overshadowing Importance
of the Slaughterhouse case and its conse-
quent results, the rise would have been
still greater. We are informed that adj
vices just received from the mine give
very favorable accounts OF the progress of
the work.
On Friday the decision Of the Slaughter
house case was known to some operators
who Immediately entered the market as
buyers. The consequence was sudden
rise in the stock; but the highest point
reached even after the decision was pub
licly announced was 273, very much
to the disappointment Of ambitious
holders who had been calculating on
making a small fortune out Of fifty or
one hundred shares. At the opening yes
tefday, ~ was bid for the stock, but so
many sellers appeared on the market, that
it soon grew weak and fell back to "a. In
the course OF the day several hundred
shares changed hands. We heard Of one
sale Of CO shares at 90; then of 100 at
26a and Of other lots at various prices
down to %. At the board $50 shares sold
a! and so at 241.
During the day 40 shares Canal Bank
