No DEFENSE NEEDED. Good operas
Or good dramas need no defense from
anybody. They are the civilizers as well
as instructors of the age. 1t is only the
trashy, sensational stuff which is some
times placed on the sage that intelli-
gent and refined people object to. 1t
seems horrible to us that clergyman
should preach about the drama, either
for or against it. Religion and amuse-
ments are in no way connected There
is time for each and place for each.
The parson who would mix them would
write himself down like Dogberry. Pop
ular preachers advertise their sermons
in the papers just as popular managers
advertise their plays; and we shortly ex-
pect to see a critic showing that some
sermons are as trashy and sensational
as some plays.

FORGET AND FORGIVE.

Great JUNCTION has been applied to the
unregenerate heart of the Democracy, be-
cause some seavenger has hunted up and
published in December, 1870, letter
written by Admiral Porter in January,
1866, wherein he wrote rather angriiy of
President Grant. Considering the rela-
lations that have existed between the
President and the Admiral for the last
two years, it is not pleasant to recall to
the attention of the latter sentiments
which be uttered six years ago, when he
represented the sentiments of the navy
concerning General Grant, who then rep
resented the army. There was at that
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-12-10

/ time, - VIII always be the case, . feeling
Of antagenian between the military and
naval branches, and Admiral Porter, nc
doubt partook Of this feeling. As hi
says in his letter of explanation, in q
moment Of irritation, he committed his
ideas to paper, and defended the right Of
the navy and protested against the
favors that were shown to the
land service. All men feel these sugges-
tons of anger at times, and if the private
correspondence of the country could be
overhauled and printed, most Of our pub
lie men would find themselves confronted
by opinions which time and better in
formation have operated to modify or dis
pei. In the case of Admiral Porter, what
he resented as an injustice to the navy in
1865, may have been founded in his own
error; and the opinion which he then
held of General Grant, with whom he
was then but partially acquainted, to-day
may have been totally changed from a
closer study Of the man. General Grant
had many enemies six years ago, who are
his friends to-day; and parties who
thought well of him at that time, are his
enemies at present. His relation with
Admiral Porter, at Washington, grew out
of association, which is the best method
to acquire friends, and their friendship
should not be broken because Of an
opinion written in other years, when the
two represented different interests.
It seems to be taken for granted that
the publication Of this old letter will
operate to disrupt the amity which has
existed between the President and the
Admiral. The Democrats are already
rubbing their hands at the prospect Of
quarrel between two men who are hateful
to them. They would, probably, like to
occupy Porter's place, if their own
utterances could be forgotten OF. hidden
out of sight. 1t will not do to turn aside
to-day, because Of what was said in the
war by the representatives Of different in
terests. If that were the rule, probably
there would not be two friends left in the
country. So We have peace but by for
getting and forgiving.

We have to announce the sad intelligence
Of the death Of Captain F. w. Matthews.
brother of the Hon. L. S. Matthews, Repre-
sentative from Tensas parish. Captain
Matthews was a native of New Jersey,
from which State he moved to Illinois in
1856, where he resided until the outbreak Of
the late war, when he enlisted in the federal
army and served for three years, during
which time he was promoted to captaincy,
and served with great honor and credit.
He received two severe wounds. For the
past eighteen months he has resided at St
Joseph, Louisiana, and has been en-
gagged in merchandising with his brother /.
While living in the swamp he contracted
that terrible disease, consumption, from
which he died. He was q true Republican
an excellent citizen and most worthy young
man.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

There was nothing Of importance to be
noted yesterday in Carondelet street. As
usual, for the last week the principal
topic of conversation and discussion was
Slaughterbouse stock, but there was
sensible abatement in transactions, al
though, in the morning, it maintained its
frmness, and even seemed to have an up
ward look. according to the calculations
of those who have investigated the mat
ter, between COCO and 1000 shares of this
stock have changed hands within the last
week, and, in spite Of these large sales,
under the pressure Of an almost unprece-
dentedly stringent money market, the
price has scarcely varied a point since
Monday last.
This is supposed to indicate great con-
fidence on the part Of purchasers. 1t is,
therefore, strange, that after so much
stock has been sold, thus relieving sellers
who were anxious to realize, the stock
should have weakened last night After
ruling at about 25 for two days, it was
offered last night, in the board, at 24aa
and pa. Sales were made of so shares at
the former figure, and the same number
at the latter.
The Calcasieu Sulphur Company have
received late and very favorable advices
from their mine, in Calcasieu parish.
The work is proceeding even more rapidly
than had been anticipated, and all
the indications are favorable. So
far, the boring shows precisely the same
strata as were revealed by the first expert
ment. The probabilities are, therefore,
very great that the same formations will
continue to be found az the work pro-
ceeds, and, consequently, that the sui
'phur bed will be reached a. Or near the
expected depth.
Among the sales yesterday were 500
shares Navigation at So 80, and 90 at
So 25 Within the last two days $4,000
State certificates have been sold al 6233.

whether it can command the required two
