The s'Orange Institution Of, the Uni.
ted States defines itself as "loyal" Is
it not the fact that its constitution de.
fines this loyalty as being confined 10
the Royal Family of Great Britain, and
that the members of the Association are
therefore bound by q tie which precludes
their transformation into American cit
izens? Is it mot further the case that
the basis of the organization is calcula-
ted to perpetuate religious animosties
by admitting such laws as the following
''Ahy member marrying a Roman Cath
ole must be forthwith expelled" or,
''No one can be admitted a member OF

THE 0RANGEMEN.-
True Account Of their Origin and
Bitterness.

From the New York Tribune, 10th inst
The Orangemen's organization dates
from 1875: but for more than hum
dred years before that they had active
ly aided the British Government in Ire
land, with the view of maintaining the
Protestant ascendency. They derived
their name from William of Orange,
whose portrait they placed upon their
,baEplne7rs,. M In the Irish Rebellion of 1898,
they served the British Government
against their Roman Catholic country
men with all the fervor of religions zea'.
They were hound together by secret or
sanization, with signs and passwords,
and branches of the society were estab-
lished in England, ard ultimately in
Canada and the United States. Their
rallying songs were numerous and ex-
ttemcly offensive to the Roman Catho-
lies, who were Sore from defeat ''Crop-

cat 1T AGAIN, ARE YEP"

Once more the fancied security OF
the denizens of our planet has been
assailed and the second advent So
ciety in Rochester has definitely
fixed the destruction of our world
for 1873. The nations of the earth
having, to the satisfaction of the
seers, arrived at the millenial period,
swords having been universally con-
verted into running hooks and spears
into plough-shares; and the orthodox
"signs of the times" being accom-
plished there remains but the Gre
nation of mundane things.
What a disappointment will this
sudden termination of things be to
most people. But what if this turn
out to be a-mistake? We have
seen such a thing before.

elegantly bound volume of $50 pages

THE OLD YEAR AND THE
!. \ NEW.

5 According to accepted chronology
we pass to-day from the old year
into the new one. At the strokes
of twelve tonight 1871 will be num-
bered "with the years beyond the
flood" and we shall enter on another
annual revolution of time.
The acceptance of this condition
Of things cause us to regard the
crisis as eventful. We are accus-
toned to look on to-day as the last
of a certain number of days which
have preceded it, and we are ad-
monished by this recollection to
make the most of the passing mo-
ments as they fly" The period is sug-
gestive of reflection and retrospect,
and however limited or expansive
the range of our review may extend,
sufficient of interest will be found
for profitable meditation, in what
ever channel the current of our
thought may be directed.
Tomorrow We set out anew on
our vicissitudinarian existence; with
new hopes, new resolutions and
perhaps with much anticipated hap
piness, and certainly with the most
fervent hopes for success in what
ever department our aspirations
may lead us.
Making the most cordial tender
of our best wishes, we wish you all
A HAPPY New YEAR.

: SPEAKER CARTER.

g
We have no fears of the result
which viii attend the meeting of the
House Of Representatives to-mor-
row, when the question of Speaker
will come up and be met. Mr.. Car
ter has been on the stage for some
time, but he has played his role out.
His stock company are the poorest
set that ever figured before the
audience and in the subsequent
editorial act, INDUCED in such vile
filings and personal epithets, such
low slang and disreputable bosh
that the pit alone applauded, while
the remainder were disguised. He
had a chance to win distinction and
achieve renown. He is not destitute OF
ability though he applies it to low
uses. He had a full opportunity to
carry out those ideas of integrity
with which he would have us believe
he was brought up. But he took the
opposite tack, like all zealots who
turn from the right to the wrong;
and exceeded the most extravagant
ideas one could have of extravaganza
and loose business. His plea of
reform is only a catch word. In
his case it is the toot of tin trum-
pet. It deceives nobody. The
hearers point significantly to the
record of his last administration as
a complete answer. The sincerity
of a man may we'll be doubted in all
things when he has played false
once, but where this has happened
a score of times, how ridiculous to
foist his pretensions again.
Republicans might well ask what
there is in Geo. W. Carter to con-
stitute a guide. He has not the
virtue of consistency, while the faint
Of southern Incidence forbids him
to be self reliant. He is not indie
pendent in thought, or bold in ac-
ton. He apologies one minute, and
DULLES the next. His record is

SUICIDE OR MURDER?

The city papers of yesterday con-
tain information of the death Of
Judge Geo. P. Carr, on Friday last.
We copy the notice as printed, but
cannot avoid the suspicion that the
circumstances, as briefly detailed,
are as suggestive of assassination
in the car, and his leaping from it,
as they are that he cut his own
throat and leaped in the water.
Suspicion, however, appears to at
tach nowhere:
Suicide Of Judge George P. Carr.
MAGNOLIA, Dec. ga man on
board the passenger train which left
New Orleans at Z o'clock this morning,
suicided by jumping from the train
and cutting his throat, near Carter's
Hill, about five miles below here.
While the train was crossing the Tan
gipahoa River he was seen to jump
from the baggage car door into the
water. An alarm was instantly given,
but by the time the train had backed
to the bridge he had waded to the
shore, but fell before any one could
reach him. A large cash was found
on the right side of his neck. He died
instantly after reaching the shore. No
knife could be found on his person Or
in the vicinity. The body was brought
to this place, and has since been iden-
titled as that of Judge Geo. P. Carr,
parish Judge of st. John the Baptist,
Louisiana. On his person was found
a fine gold watch and chain, S32 or
$33 in money, voucher on st. Johns
parish for two hundred and odd dol
lars, package of circulars, and a
blank ticket for a grand ball of the
Union League Club of New Orleans.
The body is now in charge of the
Mayor of this place.

Judging republicans will return to
the ranks of the party. In view
therefore of the significance OF this
first act, the conduct OF the House
will be important. After this, it
will enter on the discussion and
settlement of some of the vexed
questions which will come up. The
annual message of the Governor
will doubtless be an elaborate and
comprehensive view of "the situa-
ton and contain suggestions for
changes and notifications OF an
character. The wisdom
of our Legislators will be severely
tested but with a determination
to merge considerations OF mere
policy, to subordinate the claims OF
men, for measures, the abnegation
of self to consider the protection,
security and prosperity of the
many, as paramount to theinterests
of the few, they will not 60 astray, and
their omissions or mistakes will be
attributed to an error in judgment,
and not deserving of denunciation.
Looking forward to a stern appre-
citation of what is needed, and an
unyielding determination to do right
we anxiously bide the morrow.

1t afforGs me much pleasure to give you,
in these few lines, very sincere testinon!-
81 for the Piano-Fortes of your manufacture.
We have now used the Patent Arion. Pianos
In our Conservatives for year, and have
had fair opportunity Of testing their du-
rability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly,
from morning till night and q Piano mist
indeed be d 90 Cd one when it will bear
such constant use without showing signs
of detection. AS for remaining in tune, it
outrivalS any Piano known to me.
Their peculiar sweetness Of tone in the
treble las compared to other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement
is so striking that l have had pupils re-
mark, while taking their lessons, that al
though they had at shome what what they
su posed to be one of the best makes Of
Pianos, still the treble was very wirey
toned compar I'd with the Arion.
What makes them still more desirable is
their uniform volume oftone, which enable
an artist to Fperform a composition in its
true character.
In total, can conscientiousIy endorse all
that is claimed by the Arion Piano Forte
Company for their superb instruments, as
consider them superior to any other make.
Congratulating you upon the great sue
cess you have obtained in the manufacture
of so perfect an instrument, remain yours,
Very truly,
HENRY SCHROEDER,
Director.
