ORLEANS SATURDAY, g.,

the limited opportunities the class of per
formances given offered, he engaged with
Mr.. Mark Smith for travelling season of
two months, prior to his appearance in this
city, appearing in the principal cities of
New York State, Ohio, Indiana and Ken
tucky, in such legitimate characters as Bob
-4cres, Hnrk Meddle, CraJt,'ee, DR.. Oncpod,
Zekie! Homespatn, etc. His first appear
ance here as comedian was as Dolly
Spanaer, in London Assurance" and in
such parts as his position entitled him to.
Since the production of divorce" in which
he performed the character role of Bur1iH,
the Detectiee, and Mr.. Barrett's return to us,
Mr.. Howson has steadily advanced in favor
with the Varieties audiences.
The production of the beautiful play, the
MAN O Airlie," so recently withdrawn as
to be still fresh in the minds of those who
were fortunate enough to witness it, offered
to Mr.. HowsOn the opportunity Of exhibit
ing his talents as dialect character actor
and we heartily indOrse the high enconiums
passed upon his performance of the Scotch
man Saunders. by the press.
We have had evidence in the production
of Stuart RobsOn's burlesques of the
Skeleton Captain" and Camille" that
Mr.. Howson's burlesque abilities have not
waned as his portrayals of Dame Hatley
and AlnaG,aa Durdl bear witness. We here
leave Mr.. Howson to his future, wishing
for our OWL part, that he may continue to
receive just remark for meritorious en-

Political Movement in Texas.

We have received from Texas the follow
ing call for Republican mass meeting in
Texas, signed by some well known poll
ticians:
AUSTIN, Texas, March 25, 1872.
To the Citizens of Travis and neigIbOring counties
The undersigned, feeling deep interest
in the efforts now being made in and out of
Congress to correct fragrant abuses, wide
spread corruption and impudent malad
ministration in the affairs of government.
and believing that the call made by the
Liberal Republicans of Missouri for a mass
convention, to assemble in Cincinnati ON
tie sixth of May next was dictated by
wise and patriotic motives, which should
be responded to by the lovers of civil Gber-
ty throughout the country, do, therefore,
propose hat mass meeting be held in this
city, on Saturday, the sixth of April next,
to select delegates to attend said conyen-
ton.
Citizens who love free civil government
more than party, who are tired Of military
despotism poorly disguised, who are op-
posed 10 wholesale frauds in elections,
to bribery and corruption in public Office,
and who wish to restore and perpetuate
when restored free civil constitutional gov
ernment. are respectfully and earnestly in

TIE Picnyune Perplexed.

It is pleasure to occasionally put our
contemporaries right when they make mis-
takes about ordinary matters but the P;ca-
y,tne's errors in regard to State politics have
become SO frequent that they are annoying
For instance, in yesterday mornings issue
occurred the subjoined paragraph:
Notwithstanding the ever recurring an
swer OF the porter at the State House yes
terday that Governor Warmoth had not vet
visited his office, the Governor was there
during the greater portion of tie day, but
did not receive visitors.
Now, the truth is the Governor was only
at the State House about half an hour The
rest Of the day was spent at the St. Charles
Hotel.
And again. in the evening issue it says:
That everlasting source of annoyance. the
city funding bill, the perfection OF which
requires the executive approval, can not be
signed hv the Governor because the Lieu
tenant Governor has not yet arrived TO
sigu it himself as President of the Senate.
Meanwhile no taxes are being paid at the
City Hall, and the machinery OF the gov
ernment is clogging for the want Of oil.
Such is not the case. The Lieutenant
Governor reached the city Thursday night,
was at the State House nearly all day Fri
day.
Surely the Picayune's sources of intorma-
ton are very unreliable or it is sadly in
efficient in the duty of collecting news. We
kindly suggest to our calico neigLbor lit
tie more enterprise and accuracy in It's re-

The E!ack Crock.

1t has always been a .matter Of surprise
to many that Manager Bidweu has not long
ago brought cut in gorgeous magnifcence
that iar-tamed spectacular romance, the
'Blaci, Crook" Bat he is doing it now.
The Bon:anti and all the rest OF the hun
dred and iifty artists required in this splen-
did representation have arrived. They are
here on the soil of the Crescent City. Bon
fanti was identified with the original pro
iuction OF this piece at Niblo's Theatre.
New York, and she has the reputation OF
being the finest dancer in the world,
The favorite danseuse, Mile. De We're.
together with Amelia Mayer, Albertina
Dupa, Nile. Young, Laura La Clair, and
fifteen others less noted, beautiful and
artistic coryphees, TIVE nty-tour in the
corps de ballet, are all under the di-
rection of Signor Tito Celliri. In adj
ditien to the BLACK Crook" Company,
there are as classical and aerial gymnasts,
the Nelson brothers, the great ventriloquist,
Professor William Hilton, and a troupe 23
educated dogs. The whole entertainment
will be a scene of dazzling beauty.

THE CITY HALL.

Considerable interest is being manifested
by judicial asplrants as to what will be done
about the appointment Of recorders. We
can say to all such that the matter has not
been definitely agreed upon, and, until it is
the parties will have to possess their souls
in patience. We can give the public the
assurance, however, that the appointments
will be wise and judlcious whenever made.
Some Misunderstanding exists as to the
license ordinance. owing to recent decision
of the Supreme Court, that taxation shall
be uniform and equal. 1t seems especially
to affect the license on drays, one party
owning several claiming that his tax should
not exceed that paid by the proprietor of
one dray. In consequence, number of
vehicles have been arrested by the police
and taken to the pound.
Complaint has been made to the Mayor
that the recorders are far too lenient upon
persons caught in the act of sending false
alarm of fire. An instance is cited wherein
in responding to false alarm driver was
thrown from an engine, run over and Sc
riously hurt. The party who turned in the
alarm was arrested and brought before one
of the recorders, yet it does not appear
that any penalty was inti ted.
The fact that the funding bill has not yet
been promul gated has induced Mr.. Walton,
the Administrator of Finance, 20 confne
his collection of taxes to two per cent.
