HON. LIGNEL A. SHELDON

sheldon said the great Macaulay, lis
| one Of the names in British history destined
not to die-destined not to die, because the
name of Sheldon is inseparably connected
with the cause of hberality of opinion"
| These sentiments bring themselves to our
mind as we now recall the candidacy OF
Hon Lionel 4. Sheldon fo~ reelection as
member of Congress from the Second Con-
gressional Districs-a probate Judge in very
early manhood; distinguished soldier be
fore be was thirty years Of age; q Repre-
sentative in Congress, twice elected by
large majorities, and in all these capacities
invariably the advocate of the rights of all
Executing the law in the Legislature pro-
nouncing upon its constitutionality on the
BENCH defending its execution in the field;
such are the features, nay indeed the char
acteristics IN the public career Of General
Sheldon.
He has been faithful 80 the interests of
all the people of Louisiana, and his name
is inseparably connected With the cause Of
"'iberality of opinion
The laws by which our levee interests
and euv sugar and rice interests are pro
tected are mainly due 20 him. By him
more, perhaps, than any one al of the ar
tempted usurpations Of power weee sue
cessfuily resisted. He is the peer of the
ablest debater on the floor of Con gress and
takes an active and prominent part in all
its proceedings. Can the people Of the second
congressional district afford to ignore the
claims Of such man for reelection Shall
weo in other words, fail to evince our ap-
probation Of what he has done, and done
so well, 20 prove his character as man
and as statesman He voted for amnes-
ty. He voted to extend 10 all those rights
that are their due
Shall the practical recognition Of his
earnest endeavors 20 promote the general
welfare and prosperity Of The South be re-
fused Good sense and good judgment in
spring the people of Louisiana will say
no! Rather let it be said of the people of
our noble State shat they rallied to a man
in an earnest and cordial support of Gen
eral Sheldon, armed with the strong and
confding trust that he will. when he again
takes his seat in the Forty-third Congress.

the waste places of our beloved State, and

Declines the Honor.

Mr.. Thomas Isabelle. to whom was offered
the empty and unsatisfactory honor of be-
coming q candidate for Administrator of
Waterworks on the Independent Repub-
lican' ticket, has notified the committee of
his refusal to run. Mr.. Isabelle desires the
entire unity of the Republican party, which
can only be secured by discouraging inde.
pendent stde-shows. The following is a
copy Of his note to the committee:
New ORLEANS, La, October %, 1872.
TIC the Chairman and Members of the Independent
Republican Conference Committee:
GENTLEMEN-Permitm me TO return to YOU,
and the committee, through you, my sincere
thanks for the honor conferred on me by
nominating me for the position of Admin
istrator Of WaterWorks. 1t will be impos-
sible for me to attend to the canvass, as my
time is otherwise occupied. Therefore,
must respectfully decline the nomination.
I remain, gentlemen, your most obedient
servant, THOMAS ISABELLE.

The ZavistOwskI Sisters

A'A~
The charming, sparkling and yivaciops
zavistowski sisters, aided by the accom-
plishe6 and attractive Miss Henrietta
Granger and the laughter provoking Harry
Pearson, and backed up by an excellent
company of artists, continue to render that
elegant temple of the drama-the Varieties
Theatre-a delightful place OF amusement.
The second week OF their engagement
was commenced on Monday evening last,
with that magnificent spectacular burlesque
entitled ''Hxions or the Man at the Wheel"
in which the famous Lydia Thompson
troupe created quite q sensation here,
Lydia personating Lrion, ex-king of Thes-
saley. This piece is presented at the garie-
ties, with rich and appropriate scenery all
new, gorgeous dresses and the necessary
accompaniment OF music. The scenery at
the Varieties enables the Zavistowski sis
ters 30 present "lxion " in a style Of grand
eur and beauty that is but seldom reached
upon the dramatic stage; and She play is
given with cast Of characters that will
compare Savorably with :le renowned
Thompsont roupe.
There is certainly g dash ana polish about
the Lcion of Miss Emelne Zavisto wski that
reminds US f0rcibly Of the Gavishing Lydia,
and she looks just as graceful when bound
to the eveg-revolying wheel. But to com-
plete the graces in this play, we must net
forget 60 mention Miss Christine Zavi-
towski as Jupiter. king Of she godss and
k1;na Favic4nxr-cH;
besides being the messenger OF Jupiter, the
god of eloquence, she patron OF merchants
and thieves. becomes upon this occasion
the celestial telegraph boy and the messen-
ger of Minerva. Yhe Jupiter of Miss Chris
tine is q live eharacter-a perfect burlesque
of the supreme god of the Romans, and the
Mercury OF Miss Alice is a sprightly and
charming piece of acting.
Having spoken of the Graces-tRe three
sisters-we must next speak % Miss Hen.
rietta Granger as Ic21stS. the goddess of
love. gracefulnesa, beauty and mirth, and
Of Mr.. Harry Pearson as !Hinsroo. She god
dess of wisdom and the !iberas arts. In
addition to her correct representation of
love, graCefulness and beauty, Miss Grain
ger, as Ieaus, gives the audience Z. touch
of melody that is fairly oewitching, and as

images, ic requires the 9Mnerya OF S1g

The City Council.

| At the meeting yesterday, shortly after
| the session commenced, large number OF
| Carondelet street brokers, headed by Mr..
NJ. NJ. Simpson, Of the firm of Solomon &
Simpson, who acted as spokesman, entered
| the Council chamber.
On motion of Mr.. Bonzano, a recess of
fifteen minutes was taken to give these gen
tlemen an opportunity of stating their Oh
jections to the fiscal loan ordinance.
Atr. Simpson, Mr.. Morse, and others, ex-
pressed their opinions against the measure
in pretty emphatic language.
The Council then resumed It's ordinary
business, and at two o'clock took q recess
until three to consider the Fiscal Agency
ordinance and objections presented il com
mittee of the whole.
At three o'clock the Council again met,
the lobby being densely packed by gentle
men connected with Carondelet street. The
ordinance, with amendments modifying its
provisions was called up. afr. Shaw spoke
at some length against the ordinance, which
was finally adopted by a vote Of FIVE to two,
Messrs. Bonzano and ShaB voting in the
negative.
The delegation Of brokers ana other COM
mercial men ehen adjourned to she Mayors
parlor, where lively discussion took place,
lasting over an hour, upon the provisions
of the ordinance. The Mayor entered into
an elaborate statement of his views on the
question, and said that if he found any
force in the objections urged against the
measure he would give those objections
full consideration. But as this was an or
dlnance, the holding OyeS of which would
give unlimited powers Of speculation, he
must peremptorily decline 80 delay his
decision in the matter. 1t was his inten-
ton, before he went to bed that night,
either to sign the ordinance or TO announce,
through the public press, his intention of
yetoing il.
A reference to the ofioiaf columns of the
REPUBLICAN this morning will show that
the Mayor concluded to sign the ordinance.
But it is understood that previous to his
to this course a letter was OBJ
tanned from the Fiscal Agent pledging the
bank to modify the ordinance in some re-
specta, in regard to which the Mayor con-
sidered galid objections had been urged.
