JOB WORK.
LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATER'
NIFTY.

Paris continues under mob rule. Fol
lowing months of disorder, there Is
now no security to property, no safety
for life. 10 show its detestation OF the
death punishment under the Republic,
the mob burned the guillotine and then
began to shoot down helpless prisoners
In cold blood. This is "liberty, equal
ity and fraternity" according to the
Red Republicans Of the Commune.
Yet these crazy destructives are indig-
nant because their Republic Is not at
copied and recognized. 1t Is their
work that has destroyed the opportu-
nifty for permanent free government In
France; that has caused the people OF
that country to shrink away in alarm
from republican government, and
impelled them to turn back time and
again to the semi-despotism Of the
Bourbon, the 0rleanist and the Bona
paIte, as they are doing now. They
have seen for nearly a hundred years
that the watchwords and notices OF
the Paris Republicans are cruel mock,
cries. Their "liberty means un-
bounded license for themselves and
despotism for all others; their ''equal-
ity" Is the robbery Of the fruits of
other mems industry; their ~"frater-
nifty" is dungeons and death to all
who oppose them. Such is the rule
which dominates Paris now, and the
government of France seems power
less to put it down.

enough money to furnish a house In
comfortable style, to which he at once
acceded. But having got possession
Of his coin, she broke of the match,
which so enraged him that he entered
the saloon where she was employed,
shot her In the head, and then blew
out his own brains. The girl eventu-
ally recovered, but was left totally
deaf. The other suicides yesterday
were an old Frenchman seventy-two
years of age, who took poison, and a
man named Davis, who before ending
his earthly career addressed a letter to
the Cal stating his intention Of killing
himself.
The Political Situation.
Fourteen counties In the State have
now definitely declared for Newton
Booth as Republican nominee for Gov
ernor, and some eight or ten, mainly
around the Bay, have expressed a pref
erence In favor of Selby. at present
1t seems as If the Convention would 90
pretty equally divided between the
supporters of these two. On the DEM
ocratic side Findley and McCoppin
gain strength every day, and Haight
and johnson lose 1t. Sensible Demo-
Gratis admit that nothing but the gross
est mismanagement on the part Of the
Republican leaders will give them (the
Democrats) the State.

weeks Mr.. Emmett Fritz is succeeded

Dyke Hubbard, n debutdnte, who In

Company at the Metropolitan has been
playing to gradually diminishing au-
diences during the past week. The
production of La Grdnde DucheSse was
a success, but the other pieces have not
proved very remuneratlve. The indie
atigable Thomas Napoleon opens his
Opera House tonight with a gorgeous
pantomime. 1t has been a long time
In preparation, and only a good run
will reimburse the manager. No par
~ticulars of Nilsson's engagement have
been made public, and It Is yet doubt
full whether her agent will advise her

tiers and indoor entertainments Of ev-

strawberry festivals, picnlcs and fairs
that mark the present season Of the
year, though managers are but at the
beginning of their tribulations from
that cause. JACK HoRNER.

Iko Br.Law,s Defense.

X Defense.
The n%on-success OF the plea Of mo-
mentary insanity in Mrs. Fairs case
having deprived several worthy indi-
viduals, ut present languishing in jail,
of a most excellent line of defense,
legal ingenuity has been much exer-
clsed in finding out some other plea to
account for the homicidal p~ropensities
of their clients. Ike Brokaw's attorney
Is the first IL to strike out in n new
direction, and he certainly deserves
credit for his boldness. Discarding
the insanity theory altogether, he can
didly admits that his friend the pris-
oner did shoot Evans, but not with the
Intention of killing; he only intended
to wing him In the leg, and If the
wounded man died, rs 1t Is reluctantly
admitted he did, his death resulted
from the neglect and carelessness Of
the surgeon who was In attendance,
for which it would be unjust to hold
the unfortunate prisoner responsible.
Relying on this clever statement Of the
case, Mr.. Brokaw purposes to ask
Judge Dwinelle to admit him to bail.
The District Attorney will resist the
application, and Brokaw's chances of
liberty are not particularly promising.

1t has often been remarked that
murder, suicide and crimes Of violence
occasionally take the form Of an cpl
demic in this city, breaking out with
out apparent cause, and subsiding in
the same way. At present suicide ap-
pears to be the prevalent moral disease,
no less than three persons having made
the "leap In the dark" since last night.
One of the u%nfortunates was a we'll
known woman Of the town, called
"French Mary" an episode Of whose
history made a weeks sensation six or
seven years ago. At that time, while
engaged as a waiter in a saloon on the
Of Kearny and Jackson streets,
she made the acquaintance Of a man
who had plenty Of money. He became
infatuated with her, spent several hun
dred dollars In presents, aud at length
proposed n marriage. After refusing
him several times, she consented on

A BETTER PROSPECT.

Inquiry at the proper place, yester-
day, satisfied US that the affairs of the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas railroad
are on solid foundation, and that the
work of construction will be prosecuted
with the vigor that has heretofore character
lied the company. The reasons alleged
by the Times yesterday morning for the
temporary delay, We are informed, are
correct. BY this it appears that differ
ence Of opinion exists among the directors
in New York as to the exact location of
the route of the road from Vermilion to
Shreveport. But this question will doubt
less be settled at an early day. One thing
appears to be certain: that the company
is amply supplied with money and credit,
and is determined to push ahead. This
will be cheering news to the parties here
who are anxious for the safety of the
State bonds issued to the road, as we'll as
to the ten or twelve citizens who have
actually taken some of the stock. A large
in cash will be sent here soon,
to pay all demands up to the
first OF October. In the meantime the
contractors are pushing ahead with all
possible dispatch at various points be-
tween Donaldsonville and Grand river.
