EDITOR REfUBIxcAN: w
Tread in yesterdays Ficay.As an article
stating that the police were raiding and ar
resting the crowds Of rufians who infest
the rear portion of our city, especially in
the darker portions, at night. Now, - the
good work has commenced, wish to call
the attention of our able superintendent.
Mr.. Badger, and his men to the peaceful
precincts" of the Jackson railroad depot,
the scene of the late murder. If the police
would take stroll back there some Satur-
day night about the hours Of nine or ten, or
indeed any hour they. would find just the
kind of men suitable for prison house.
Men whs do nothing after dark but gamble,
depredate and insult passers by; loAfers
and blackguards, who openly defy the law
by carrying concealed weapons, and who do
not scruple to use them, even among them
selves, ON the slightest provocation. 1 need
not say more. Mr.. Badger, give this your
attention and things will show for them
selves. PEACE.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune says it is expected that
q large emigration to the United States will
take place during the summer from the
French population of Alsace and that por-
ton of Lorraine which have been annexed
to Germany. Letters have been received
by French residents in Washington from
friends in those provinces, which state the
desire to emigrate is strong, not only among
the poor, but the middle classes, who pos
sess small properties in towns and the coun-
try districts. With a view of encouraging
this movement, number of French gentle
men living in New York and Washington,
are endeavoring to form an organization
with capital enough to buy large tracts of
land and settle upon them agricultural and
manufacturing colonies of their countrymen.
Their attention is directed to East Tennes-
see and Northern Georgia and Alabama as
the best locations for such colonies, on &C
count of the cheapness and fertility of land
and evenness of climate, which resembles
more nearly that of Eastern France than
the climate of any other portion of the
United States.

Proposed Revision Of the Revense Lava.
The Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune says:
The proposition Of Senator Sherman, from
the finance committee, for authority to con-
slider the whole subject of the reduction Of
revenue during the recess, was the result Of
a consultation covering considerable ground
in the committee. The design is to divide
the subject, and set each member at certain
investigations, and then meet toward the
close Of the recess to put the work into for
NAL shape ready to present to Congress at
the opening of the session. Senator Sher-
man believes that with the proper DISPOSE
ton to economic, the ordinary. expendi-
lures of the government, excldsiv OROf inter
est, and Of the provision for a sinking fund
and pension, can be brought down to $780,
0OO, 900. If the funding goes ON Is success
full as now anticipated, he thinks the interest
will be reduced to Sic, OOO, 900; the sinking
fund then SIS. 000, 900 and pensions $40, OOO,-
600, making the entire expenditure $780,,
OOO, 900. If the revenue at the present rate
is collected, it win reach next year $780,
0O0, 900, and thus make possible reduction
Of taxation at the next session Of from
go, 0OO, 900 to $50 ,O0O, 900. 1t 10 believed
that the committee will recommend the
raising of nearly the whole internal revenue
from whisky and tobacco, and low income
tax.

We notice that Mrs. Frances E. w. Har-
per will deliver a lecture in the chapel of
Straight University next Monday evening.
Mrs. Harper, who has lectured at num-
Der Of places on her way to New Orleans,
brings with her a high reputation as a
speaker and lecturer. I'VE do not
say lecturess for the same reason that
we would not say dressmakeress.)
She has commanded the favorable attention
of the public press wherever she has been.
The subjects upon which she expatiates are
peculiarly interesting, relating as they do
to the sequences Of the lately accomplished
revolution; and her ideas on the "work be-
fore us" are such as ought to command the
attention of all thinking men and women.
Mrs. Harper is the author Of "Moses; q
story of the Nile," a poem in blank verse
which has reached third edition.

accused attempted to beat him out Of his
surplus funds, but was fortunately pre-
vented by the interference of Patrolman
Schott. At the examination Of Edwards he
was identified as notorious thief and sent
down ninety days to the Workhouse. He
promised faithfully, if released, to leave
the city, but Judge Leclerc, who is up to
snuff, decided that the community would be
benefited by his incarceration.
Louis Castillano, who, some time since
was caught in the act of daylight robbery
on the premises of F. LArtigue, was, on the
testimony Of DR.. Cooper, pronounced to be
insane. The case was therefore withdrawn,
