Condition of the south,


We translate the following interesting and
spirited editorial from the New Orleans
Deutsche Zeitng;
We have had the pleasure TO greet in our
city MIR. Charles Rummehn of Cincinnati,
one of the Oldest, most respected and intiu-
entail pioneers of German culture in the
western states. Once a prominent Germa n
politician of the state of Ohio, Mr.. Rum
melin retired from active political life seve-
raj years ago. For men of his eslibre there
seems to be no place any longer within the
ranks of psrtisanship. He is now exclu-
sively occupied with questions of national
economy and theological studies.
Mr.. Rummelin has visited our city during
g journey through the various states OF the
South, made for the purpose of convincing
himself whether the southern people are
really the strocious anthropophagis and ku-
Klux they are pictured by their amiable
brethren in the North. MIR. Rummelin has
met with almost every prominent statesman
and soldier, who played a part during the
late rebellion, and keen observer as he IT,
he will now be enabled to spread more cor
rect views among the people of his section
than those exhibited by northerR fanatics
who used to look at everything in the South
through their Ku-Klux spectacles.
We are not in the habit of giving public
ity to private communications. But one O
Mr.. Rummelin's remarks is so genuinely
peculiar. that we shall deviate from our rule
this time. Mr.. Rummelin told us, that al
though he is lifelong Democrat, fully and
completely enjoying the confidence of tht
confederate magnates, rank and file, ane
that he was more than any other German il
the whole country entitled to have the ele-
plant of the South shown to him, he coult
not get hold of single live Ku-Klux during
his whole journey in the South. az will b
forced" he said "to procure couple o
picked negro ears and take them home Il
Cincinnati, or nobody will believe that
travelled through Dixie from one end to an
other"

MADAME EPAREPA-RosA.-The London Must
cal World of March 18 contains the prospectus
OF MIR. Gye for a season of Royal Italian opera
OF forty performances at Covent Garden, to
commence March 2S. The most interesting
portion of this prospectus for American readers
is the announcement that Madame Parepa- Rosa
has been engaged as one of the leading prima
donuas, with Madame Adeina Patti, Madame
Pauline Lucca, Madlle Sessi, and Madame
Miolan-C Carvalho, and that she will appear in
such parts as Donna Anna" in Don GioUdnni
"Agathe " in Der FreiSClLtttz; and Gertrude, in
Hamlet. The temperance of Madame Rosa in
Italian opera before the London public is spoken
of in terms of congratulation by the Musical
World, as her great American reputation has
excited much interest in her. This London
Italian opera season will not interfere with
Madame Rosa's prospective return to this coun-
try in the fall with number of new singers for
the kngish troupe of which she will be direct
reeS next season.
