The Pre.idenr,s proclamation.

The proclamation of the President, pub
lished this morning, in reference to the act
Of Congress commonly known as the Ku-
Klux bill, has the right ring. He calls the
attention of the people of the United States
to the fact that this law will be enforced
everywhere to the extent of the powers
vested in the executive.
He particularly exhorts the people of
those parts of the country lately in insur-
rection to suppress unlawful combinations
by their own voluntary efforts, through the
agency of the local laws.
The President makes the declaration that
he will not hesitate to exhaust the powers
vested in the executive whenever and
wherever it shall become necessary to do
so for the purpose of securing to all the
people of the United States the peaceful en-
ioyment of the rights guaranteed them by
the constitution and laws.
Let this be done and there will be
peace.

One of Us.

We find these notices of the REPUBLICAN
and one of its absent editors in Houston
journals. The Telegraph says:
We had the pleasure yesterday of form
ing the acquaintance of T. G. Tracy, Esq,
one of the editors of the New Orleans RE-
PUBLICAN. He is on visit to his brother,
Colonel j. G. Tracy, of the State Journal
and Houston Union. The REPUBLICAN we
have long regarded as the most ably con
Quoted paper OF its party in the South, and
it knows what makes the decencles OF jour
nalsm and practices them.
We spent pleasant half hour with the
two brothers They are both good looking,
but the New Orleans brother has the best
of it decidedly.
The Times says:
Mr. T. G. Tracy, one of the editors of the
New Orleans REPUBLICAN, paid us visit
yesterday. We have known Mr. Trac- for
many years; were associated with him on
the Bulletin and Delta before and during
the late unpeasantness, and bear witness
to the uniform courtesy and kindness ex-
hibited toward all who had occasion to
meet him. 1t affords us real pleasure to
know that political differences have not in
terrupted the kind social relations so long
during his stay in Houston he will often
find it convenient TO pay the sanctum of the
Times friendly visit.
The linton, in mentioning the arrival of
Mr. Tracy, says:
The REPUBLICAN is the leading journal of
the Republican party in the South, and has
no superior in Southern journalism gen
erally.

Academy of Music.

The "Lancers," as given by the Wynd-
ham comedy company, attracted the largest
house that has as yet witnessed their per-
formances during represent season. Com
ing Immediately after the broad and not too
refined representations of the Lydia Themp-
son troupe, the quietness and subdued finish
presented by this company was something
to which the audience of the Academy had
to be accustomed before they could value
its full merit. The reaction, however, has
commenced, and the remainder of their en-
gagement will, no doubt, be perfect tri
umph.
OF the ''Lancers" we, as well as the gen
eral press of New Orleans, have frequently
spoken. What remains to be said, however,
is the fascination which this and its kindred
y-"Ours"-exercises. over an audience,
and the splendid manner in which they are
given by this company. The charming con-
structiOn of the piece, the contrasts pre-
scented by the different phases of social life
it presents, and the suitability of each one
to his or her part, combine to make this
sure card for both actors and managers and
favorite bill with the public.
All the new artists taking part in the
cast are immensely superior to those they
replace, and the old ones only present adj
ditional power and effect. The piece con-
Guided at late hour; we must therefore
defer critical analysis of the performance
until tomorrow.
Tonight 1.-THE Lancers' will be repeated,
and its immense reception last night will
doubtless influence full house. To morrow
and Sunday, Robertson's fine military play
of ours" will be given, with all the stage
effects for which this company is famous.
Caste will be given only once. more, for
the matinee tomorrow, and both that and
"Ours" will be preceded by the clever
musical farce entitled "The Bonnie Fish
wife" On Monday next we are promised
treat in the production of Robertson's last
success, Home" which has never been
produced in this city. Other novelties are
in preparation, and we can congratulate
the managers on offering so brilliant a
close to one of the most successful seasons
on record

Great events are happening. Scarcely
had the excitement about the great crevasse
abated, when steamboat owners were
plunged in grief, to greater or less extent,
by the effect q the screw hurricane which
twisted chimneys out of place and did other
damage. But the great event of the week
will be the sale of single number tickets in
the Louisiana State Lottery. and the grand
drawing of the fifty thousand dollar capital
prize.
AS there were only twenty thousand num-
bers to be sold, and the price of each ticket
is but twenty dollars, the chances are mag
nificent for winning the magnificent prize.
1t may be won by poor person who has
had difficulty in scrambling together twenty
dollars, but then he will be the happiest
man in town when the prize falls into his
hands. When the money paid over to the
winner, he will exclaim that the Louisiana
State Lottery Company does business on the
square.

early last evening by the duleet sounds of a
revolver, the mszzle of which was pointed
directly toward the person of John Brew

shootist was John Mclaughlin, who had
suddenly resolved himself into jury, judge
and executioner, after the fashion of that
impulsive gentleman. Judge Lynch. Brew
