A performance not down on
Charley Moves bill came off YES
terday morning, ct the circus.
Whilst the keepers of the lioness
were removing her from her cage
to the band wagon, preparatory to
the parade on the streets, her
majesty managed to make her es-
cape from custody. The admiring
crowd of spectators, struck with
terror, fed precipltately. The L.
oness first attacked a mule, spring
ing on its back, but the animal
proved to be a regular Texas
pitcher" and threw her royal
highness some two or three rods
over his head. Discounted here,
the savage beast attacked a horse,
Selling him by the throat, and sue
ceeded in inficting some ugly
wounds before she could be beaten
off. Followed by her keepers, she
then retreated to the tent adioin-
ing the circus and used by the
company for a dressing room. The
occupants, upon her appearance
did not stand upon the order of
their going, but left, some of them
up the centre pole, which they
climbed with more agility than
they had ever exhibited in any ring
performance. Having cleared this
apartment, the lioness rushed from
the tent, mounted a couple of
fences, and attacked two horses,
but before she could do any dam
age, she was captured and secured
by her keepers. During all this
time the vicinity of the circus was
of spectators, and the side
shows lost their attractions Aus

at hate hour on May IS, and receipted for
as "a package by a member Of the house
hold. On Monday, the twenty seventh,
parties interested in the job notified the
Governor of the fact, when he told them
they had better recover the bill and pro
cure irregular receipt, which they promptly
did, returning the receipt first obtained.
Thus the bill was really in the hands OF the
Governor only during the twenty-seventh,
twenty-eight first and second, on which
latter designated day the Assembly adj
journed But, granting that the service at
the Governors house, on the night OF the
twenty-ffth, was legal, it does not-help the
matter for Mr. Bovee and his hackers in the
least. Admit that Sunday, the twenty
sixth, can legally be counted as included
within the constitutional limitation, and
Governor to withhold the bill had not ex-
PRED when the Legislature adjourned. By
their own showing, the biil~was. presented
at the executive mansion on Saturday, at

and at about ten o'clock p. M. of the fol-
lowing Thursday the Legislature was de-

Every stage in the progress of this out
rageous scheme of plumber is markedAsby
triekery and cunning, and the more it is in
vestigated the more obnoxious the light in
which the manipulators must stand before
the public. The position of the Governor,
ON the contrary, must win added confidence
and respect from all parties who have the
real welfare of the community at heart.
We lament that Messrs Dunn and Carter
should have become implicated in the affair
by furnishing what purported to be a GER
titled copy of bill, the original of which
the Governor had publicly announced his
conviction he was lawfully Withholding from

Of getting it. The supplies OF cotton
being scant and the views Of factors
backed up by continued discouraging re-
ports, undergoing no change, tend to
confne operations within very narrow

numbers within the Mississippi lines and
such tidings, with other news arriving
being ''all of piece" continue to arrive
and make things unsettled and uncertain
as to the future. Besides, there is not
sufficient money to be used in this direc-

business has no life in it there is no one

inquiries and solicitations are to real trade

PITKIE- IN A IATHER,

Pitkin has heard of it, and sweats at
every pore. Froth exudes from his hide
like the perspiration from a dunghill on
frosty morning. The ''soft-mouthed
orator" has precipitated upon an all suf-
fering public three columns and a half of
frothy essence, addressed to Governor
Warmoth. One well-directed lick of the
Governors oratorical cato nine tails has
thrown little J-a-r-iec Pitkin into a
greater condition of sapinacious foam
than he achieved in camp, which he
pretends now to shave forgotten all about.
A man with memory at all convenient
ought to forget such episodes in his life,
if possible. But he never will forget the
frothy condition he plunged into, on
reading Governor Warmoth' S Turner Hall
speech. He emits fog of soapy spray
that completely surrounds and conceals
him. Were he not visible at both ends,
We could not recognize him, except from
his style.
Poor Pitkin proves conclusively by
this letter that he has entirely forgotten
all the foolish things he ever did, even
including his speech at Mcclellan
meeting at st. Charles Theatre, ON the
eighth of January, 1864. But he remem-
bers wildly all the silly lies that have
been retailed by the rebels against
Governor Warmoth during the past three
years. young man with such conve-
nlent memory must of necessity make
good United States general appraiser And
1t Is pity he can not be prevailed upon to
stay here and fulfill his contract with
Uncle Sam instead of loafng off to Phil
adelphia and writing three column
letters about things he has forgotten for
two or three years, and those he never
knew anything about Come back, Pitkin.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.

Very recently some of the more pious of
our guerrilla newspapers became greatly
exercised because of an attack made by
Governor Warmoth in the Republican
Convention. Disciples of the church are
usually very sensitive to such attacks,
hence the Bulletin, which was then work
ing by the day for one wing of the Repub-
ican party, sounded the alarm by calling
the attention of the colored people to the
alleged fact that Governor Warmoth had
''gone out of his way" to speak slightingly
of their church. Anumber of country pa
pers took up the cry, not knowing anything
about the matter, and the ball was rolling
finely until the Louisionian, the best and
most faithful representative of the colored
people in this State, puts its foot on the
thing in this fashion:
Some of the sorehead country papers,
taking their cue from the late EreniRg BuL
te.in, are pitching into Governor Waruoth
for his alleged abuse of the Methodist church
while raking down Speaker Carter at the
Turner Hall convention. 1t is a cold trail,
gentlemen. There is not member of that
persuasion who does not know the difference
between the Methodist church South, to
which the Governor alluded, and that divi-
sion to which our people so numerously be-
long. Dir. Carriers church supported slavery
and secession, and still refuses communion
with, or recognition of, colored Methodists.
And THAT'S what's the matter"

1T is claimed by some that the Dunn
Carter-Pitkin combination is a strong
one-that its strength consists in being
in ''good odor". with the Republicans
of, the State. Others contend-and they
are believed to embrace more than two
thirds of the Republicans of the State
that the Dunn-C arter-Pitkin combina-
lion is only strong in bad odor )" that
since the attempt to force bayonet rule in
the Customhouse they are in worse odor
than usual with the people. White and
colored Republicans now turn up their
noses at these men who have gone back
on Republican principles.

General Beauregard is furnishing some
interesting matter to the public and to
General Grant to reflect upon, and that
is the utter impossibility of defeating the
Republican party in Louisiana, if Cover
nor Warmoth is not disposed of. . He
admits u large Republican majority in
the State, say forty thousand voters,
and the only way to overcome this diff
Guilty to the recovery of the State to the
Democracy, is to be found in the defeat
of Warmoth. Therefore he prefers Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn, not as Repub-
hcan, but as an instrument. The logic of
which is that the hero of Fort Sumter is
supporting his Democratic friends by di
viding his Republican enemies. His fail
ure at dividing the Union will find
parallel in his failure to divide the Re-
publicans of Louisiana. He expects to
talk some more on this subject, and we
are duly attentive.

in 1854 The allusion is most unfortunate,
since the San Francisco vigilance commit
tee was body of good citizens who were
forced to organize themselves into phys
ical force for the suppression Of the Dem
ocratic party in that city. The California
Ku-Klux, if we may be allowed to- indi-
cate the committee by the title which
General Beauregard constrIlctiVely puts
upon it, had political design as well as
a moral motive, and it succeeded in both,
to wit: it beat the Democracy and it puri-
fed politics. The Ku-Klux in Louisiana
support the Democracy and defles poll
tics, which is material difference.

Senator. Anderson, one of the Demo-
cratic Senators in the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, was present when General Beaure-
gard allowed himself to be interviewed at
one of the fashionable watering places in
Virginia the other day, but he did not
get in his speech until the hero of Fort
Sumter had spiked his guns and marched
away. Then the Senator came to the
front and let himself out to the inter-
viewer with a gushing honesty that would
have insured frown from the president
of the st. Charles street railroad if he
had been present. Senator Anderson
very distinctly refused to blame Governor
Warmoth or his administration for the
increase in the Indebtedness of the State,
as ten millions of the same had been con-
tracted during the administration of James
Madison Wells, when the Democrats had
things their own way. He credited Gov
ernor Warmoth with having engineered
to success the limitation upon the pub
IlO 1AACUtCIlACoS, dlu luSlSLSu ludL he QaQ
vetoed many extravagant appropriations
made in the interest of Republicans and
Democrats alike.
According to Senator Anderson, Gov
ernor Warmoth has been most liberal and
conciliatory in his appointments, often
selecting good men from among his po-
Gtical opponents when his own party did
not present favorable nominations. Still
Senator Anderson is willing to see the
Democracy successful, even if it has TO be
accomplished by defeating the officer in
whose favor he found SO many actions to
compliment. General Beauregard should
be particular hereafter, when he goes
upon an interviewing expedition, not to
take along with him the antidote to his
disease.

We have had much experience with several of

say, without injustice to any one, that the

OF your Company's make is far superior to
any that we have used. It's simplicity.
small effort required to operate, and the great
strength and elasticity of its seam, are qualities
we have never fouad equaled in any other. Since
the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our
Asylum it has always been the favorite with our
children and often a source of much contention
smong them, as to who should have the privilege
of its use..
Duringsthe past two years we have had five of i
your Sewing Machines in constant use, and large
quantities Of work of every description for fami-
lies has been done on them. We have never had
any complaint from.those for whom the work has
been done but on the contrary, much praise for
the beauty and perfection of the machine stitching
We most earnestly hope that you will accept our

your machines at the earliest opportunity.
