Apropos to our recent openings comes The an.
nOuneement that some titled English dame, disgust
ed with Satans devices Of paniers and heeied boots
has set on foot "guild Of plain dressers' whereby
women of rank are to set the fashion of rigid econ.

To dress welis the lifelong desire OF every woman;
yet, curiously enough, not one in hundred knows
the color or costume for which her face aud hgnre

The Message of President Theirs, 90 far as
wo may judge from the brief eptome at hand,
contains no striking points, but is the caulions
document which might be expected from its
author. On the Papal question he is, of course,
ultramontane. And, though not necessarily
Republican, he is vigorously Anti-Imperialist.

Investigations into tho Brooklyn election
frauds already show that five hundred votes
were somehow inserted in the returns OF ono
district before the record of voter, who was
on hand when the polls opened. The evidence
of fraud is pretty clearly established; if the
rest of the testimony is equally positive, WE
shall hope to see the criminals convicted and
punished vigorously and exemplary.

considered truthful gentleman.

succeeded in bringing his case to
Secretary Robeson's attention, and
when the facts were made known
he was released. As soon as this
occurred a multitude of complaints
rushed in. 1T is said that the stu
alton upon the vessel had been so
unbearable that while the vessel
lay in the harbor of Rio Janeiro
there were one hundred assertions ;
guards rowed around the ship in
the night time, armed with revol-
vers, and were ordered to shoot
any one attempting to leave the
vessel. ... ...... e.. .-.
Men we're punished for the most
trivial offences by being hoisted
into boats alongside the ship, tied
hands and feet, and left exposed to
the blazing sun until they were
burned SO that their skins peeled
off in huge fakes. The grossest
indignitles we're offered to the sea-
men OF all grades, under the name
of punishment. Sometimes the
commander ordered q man
crammed into a box three feet
long and about eighteen inches
deep then heavy planks were ham,
mered down upon the unfortunate
victims, and in one case a sailor
was kept thus crushed and almost
dying for 100 hours.
Meantime the commander lived
luxuriously in his cabin, and re-
fused to commute an hour of the
sentence. Men were
sometimes chained together by
tens SO that they could hardly
move. and laid out on the deck to
endure the terrible fervor of trop.
ical nights, until their nervous sys- !
TENS gave way under the intolera-
bic torture, and they were trans
formed into little less than
maniacs.

was read a resolution was offered
in the House, and referred, reciting
that as the debt was created by
strangers, elected under the bay

dating the whole debt so incurred.

The closed court martial which
has been in session for some time
at the Brooklyn, N. X, Navy Yard,
has been Investigating the charges
made against Capt. Alexander
Semmes, commander Of the United
States sloop Of war Portsmouth.
More than a year ago complaints
were made concerning the extraor-
binary cruelty and brutality of this
commander, and one seaman, mad
dened by punishments, deserted
the ship in q foreign port and tried
to make his way to the United
STATES ana report personally to the
Navy Department, giving the
whole stories Of the cruelties. But
on the way home he was captured,
tried as a deserter, and sentenced
to nine years imprisonment.

The national Democratic organ
in Washington, the Patriot, and
the New York World, have come
around to the position which we
occupied more than a year ago,
that the Democracy of this nation
Is a dead thing, They tell their
followers to look now to the resur-
reCtion. This is a slow conversion
to the view expressed By us after
the last Presidential election, and
for which we came so near being
eaten up by all the fierce young
Democrats in this vicinity.
This confession is thus simpli-
fed by the World. The Democrats
cannot master but two-ffths of the
voters Of the country. The Radi-
calls at present have three-ffths of
these, but one-ffth ore discon-
tented and would like to join any
other party, except that which
bears the name of Democratic, to
beat Grant. THIS would transfer
the three-ffths to the side on which
the Democrats are arrayed. The
World shows that there are no diff
terences in principle between these
tWo-ffths of old Democrats and
one-ffth of anti-Grant Radicals.
In such a state of facts and
figures, nothing would appear to
be easier than to effect a combina-
ton, if it we're not for silly senti-
mentafsn, or the greed and ambi-
tion Of party leaders, who appre-
bend that they will lose their i'm
portance and prestige in any new
organization Of parties.
It is evident, however, that the
thinking men of the party are
coming around to the proper and
practical view of the question, and
when they do so, light will begin
to break upon the countTy.-[N,

GOOD NEWs.-We are enabled to
lay before our readers the cheerful
intelligence that arrangements
have just been completed in New
York, which secure the speedy con-
structiOn, not only of the Mobile,
New Orleans and Texas Railway,
but also the Opelousas Railroad
from Berwick's Bay to Shreveport.
A compromise has been effected
with Charles Morgan, under which
he is to subscribe 81, 100000 to-
ward the completion of the Ope-
Iousas Railroad, and the large
capitalists interested in the extern
sion of the Mobile, New Orleans
and Texas Railway to Texas and
beyond, have furnished all the
capital repaired for that purpose.
This intelligence is Of the utmost
Importance to the business inter-
ests Of this city. 1t should cause
an immediate advance Of at least
ten per cent. on all the real estate
within fifty miles Of New Orleans.
Charles Morgan and the Texas
Railway magnates are no longer
fighting. Henceforth they viii pro-
ceed in unity in the grandest rail-
way enterprise ever conceived for
Louisiana and Texas, and more
especially for New Orleans. m.
