COLORED OFFICE-HOLDEES.

Well founded complaint " often made
by intelligent and educated colored men,
who are doing their utmost to sustain
and perpetuate the Republican party, Of
the Systematic manner in which their
claims to official patronage are ignored.
When reconstruction first commenced,
the grounds. upon which their Claims
were slighted, were their untried capaci-
ty for official life; their general want Of
education and official experience. 1t
was moreover then urged, that to press
upon the Republican party, just orsaniz-
ing in the South, q measure 20 universal
" unpopular with the Southern people,
as that Of putting colored men in pro-
minent Official positions, would drive
many good Union men from is ranks,

THE VACCINATION BILL

We proceed to the redemption Of curl
promise to refer to the hastily prepared
vaccination bin BOW before the Legisla-
.urc.
The first clause provides for the ap-
pointmept Of physicians and for gratui-
tous vaccination in the parishes. The
second section provides for @ rect re-
gistry Of vaccinations Section three re-
gulates the payment for vaecinating.
Section four provides for keeping q sup
ply Of vaccine lymph. Section five makes
il the duty Of physicians to viit schools
and see what children are vaccinated.
Section six excerpts New Orleans from the
general provisions Of the bin and places
the subject under the sole control and
regulation Of the Board Of Health. and
renders as valid and binding a. II they

may adopt. Aud this is the whole bill.
Now the,, y vaccination law, like qua

be explicit and stringent This bill must
be failure because while it directs the
physicians to vaccinate, il does not touch
those who may neglect or refuse to be
vaccinated It is true. that clause five
makes il the duty Of division superinten-
dants, to require children to be vaccine
ted forthwith; but what il proposed a.
the penalty, for neglect or refusal Of pa
rents, to comply with the directions We
suppose forbid the child the school This
would be clearly Illegal and yet there is
no other conceivable penalty. If w

From the construction Of the clause re

PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA.

Germany and the United States Agree to
Exempt IL from Capture-An Extension N
of the "Paris Conference" Doctrine.
When the Paris Conference of 1867 agreed to
abolish privateering, the United States refused
to accede to the proposition, unless all private
property should be exempted from capture at
sea. England and France refused to accept this
doctrine, although Prussia was In favor of it.,
and Russia was thought to be willing to adoptit
When the war between France and Prussia
broke out last year, the Prussan Government
gave notice to all the great powers that 1t would
act upon the American or Marcy doctrine, and
would make prize of no private French property
at sea. But France took less liberal course,
and adhered strictly to her rights under the
Paris declaration of public law.
The cable despatch from Berlin which ap-
pears In our second edition to-day, has evidently
been misinterpreted by the agent who has tried
to decipher it, on account of his ignorance of
these facts. We have been permitted, by the
courtesy of the Associated Press office, to con-
suit the original despatch, which is doubtless to
be read as follows:-
''The Alabama question having now been decided
by the ratification Of the treaty of Washington it is
reported here that all the American ENJOYS on the
continent Of Europe have received Instructions to
endeavor to tho assent OF the powers to the
Marcy proposition for the protection from seizure OF
all private property at sea.

FORTUNES WHEEL.

An Heir 10 S15O,OOO Found in Prison.
The San Francisco CdR of the 9th instant
says:- ~
Many years ago there lived in the State of
Delaware family of the name of Fisher, who
commanded the respect of all who knew them,
and were well-to-do in q financial point of view.
There was one son In the family who was very
wild and "devil-may care" sort of fellow, of
about twenty-four years of age, who ten
years since left home ito see the world" In a
little over two years he found himself friendless
and penniless; wine, bad women, and fast
company having In that short space of time
brought him down to one of the lowest rounds
in the ladder of life.
After he left his home no tidings were had of
him. Shortly after his absence his father died.
Several years ago the mother died, and when her
will was admitted 10 probate, it was discovered
that che had left to her truant son real estate and
money at interest valued at one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
THE SEARCH.
The executors of the will did every thing in
their power to discover the Whereabouts of the
heir. Letters were sent to persons far and near
who had known him; advertisements were in
serted in newspapers; but no satisfactory re-
spoHses we're received, and all hope of ever
seeing him again was at last given up.
A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
few days since o visitor from the EEast,
while on tour seeing the sights of San Fran
cisco, chanced to visit the city prison, and while
looking at the occupants of the different cells
he saw face, that of a man about thirty-6ve
years of age, pressed hard against the iron bars
he watched the features for a few moments,
and then addressing the owner of the face,
asked him his name and place of nativity. The
party addressed replied that it was Fisher, and
that he was from Delaware.
son what charge are you here?" asked the
visitor.
Common drunk, curtly replied the prisoner.
few words more were exchanged, and the
visitor became satisfied that the prisoner was
the missing heir, for whom the sum of $150, ,00C
was waiting.
He received information that fortune had
fallen to him without the least apparent pleasure

THE FINE ARTS.
wards Statue of shaIxespe

Wards statue of Shakespeare.
The colossal statue OF Shakespeare modelled by
j. O. A. Ward, Esq, for Central Park, New York,
ara cast In bronze by Messrs. Robert Wood Co.,
OF THIS city. has just been placed in the window OF
Messrs galley & Co ,at Twelfth and Chestnut streets
where il Is attracting much attention.
The statue is somewhat larger than life, as 1t is to
stand in the open air, and is to be seen from dis.
tnnce and the sculptor has represented the poet In
the prime OF vigorous manhood, meditating upon
some one OF his immortal works. The figure stands
rm ana erect one ha nd resting easily upon the hip
and the other pressing what appears to be manu-
script volume to his breast. The head is
slightly bent forward, the brows are
somewhat contracted, and the face has
a profoundly thoughtful expression Epon it. This is
one OF the great merits OF the work, for the man
sctualy appears TO be lost in thought aud this ex-
preston is sufficient to redeem some OF the weak
points that cannot fail TO strike the attentive OBJ
server. The head bears a resemblance to the best
portraits Of Shakespeare, without being copy OF
any one OF them; 1t perhaps may be considered an
