NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY,. OCTOBER S, 1872

| Strahan committee to confer with the

| appointment of delegates to represent the

The chair said be observed the presence
OF one of the newly elected members, Gen

these courtesies, said:
GEETLEMEN-I am much Obliged for the

connected with the commerce and trade Of
New Orleans; so many old and cherished
friends of mine.

district, and feel that the proprieties of the
occasion forbid my entering into any dis
cusslOn whatever even with reference to
trade and commerce or to the usefulness of
this institution.
| beg to assure you that as citizen long
connected with the agricultural interests of
our State and now resident of the city, l
feel as deeply the necessity of ENTERPRISE in
our midst, the necessity OF cooperation, the
necessity OF carrying forward these great
WORKS OF internal Improvement, as any men,
Der of this community. | thank you, Mr.
Chairman and gentlemen, for the honor you
have done me.

The DOnaIdsOnvilIe Railroad Trains.
The railroad train of the New Orleans
and Donaldsonyille route left Donaldson
vile last Sunday, one hour before the usual
time, causing great disappointment to a
number of persons who wished to return to
| the city in the evening.
| 1t is strange that the company should
make such a change and not notify the pub.
lie of the fact. 1t is still more strange that
| the conductor on the train should have ne
elected to inform the passengers, on the up
ward trip, that a change had been made
and that the train would come down an
hour earlier than the usual time
In consequence of this neglect many
people were sadly disappointed, especially
business men. whose engagements or office
duties required their presence in the city on
the following day.
Railroad companies should alter their
schedules as rarely as possible, and when
changes become necessary, ample and timely
notice should be given to the public.
In this ease, the company having failed
to give proper notice, it became the duty Of
the conductor to exert himself to acduaint
his passengers of the change made, SO that
they and their friends might know in sea
son, and govern themselves accordingly.
As it was, nearly everybody that wished to
come to town on the Sunday train was left
behind. Even those who heard the whistle
of the approaching locomotive were either
unprepared or too far off to reach the sta
ton before the train had rolled by and gone
out of sight. Such omissions are very
vexatious, and passengers have a gighe to-
complain.
1t is to be hoped chat the young cono
ductor who has charge of the train will be
more vigiIant, and not neglect SO important
a duty in the FUTURE

Dispatches from Georgia received at IL e
Republican headquarters, Washington, last
Friday, say the negroes, who were strong
in support of Walker, were violently driven
from the polls in many counties, and the
Jaw by which the election was held earlier
this year than usual was framed for the
purpose Of limiting the time for the pay
ment Of the poll tax Of colored men, many
of whom, by this means, lost the opportu-
nifty of voting.
The Washington Chronicle has the follow
ing special from Atlanta:
kilograms, letters and special messages
from all portions of the State show such
universal and outrageous interferences
with freedmen's suffrage, that the State
committee has been called to meet Friday
next fer consultation. The freedmen were
almost universally prohibited from voting.

Chairman State Committee.
The national committee have kilograms

Mr.. Doud Byron appeared at the Acad-
envy last night in his favorite comedy
drama ben Mccullough" to a large az
dience. A great many were disappointed
in the character Of the play, supposing it to
be of incidents in the life of the famous
Texashero. Such was not the case, but
the hero was trontiersman of as many adj
ventures and hair-hreadth escapes. As
played by Mr.. Byron it revealed many epie
sodes of thrilling Interest," and an artistic
development of more than ordinary power
and effect Mr. Byron's manner of render-
ing the free and easy sans Soucj Characters
tics of the frontier and jolly daring was
Iife-like and effective 1t was natural, and
that is always pleasing.
Tracing the hero through all bis adven
lures would not be admissible in our lin.
tied space, but We must say the play is the
finest of the sensational kind we have seen,
and we venture to predict will meet with a
hearty appreciation by oug glay-going
public.
The main characters IN the piece are
handsomely sustained particularly the
Tom Blaine of Mr.. Hill, and the MauG OF
Miss Hawthorne. This charming lady
gives a fascinating interest TO everything
she touches.
The villain of the piece, sustained by Mr..
Morton, was finely rendered; nor must we
omit the mention of Mr.. De Greats Josh,
and Mr.. Reeds Jacob. Both were excellent

One of the finest establishments of this
kind in the city Of New Orleans has within
a day or two been opened at No. 1876 Canal

streets. Mr. SeeboId is an enterprising
young man, dealing largelyin books. prints,

hereturns, if anything in his line is asked
for at his place that he has not got, his rep

Found OPEN."-Before ordinary dinner
hour Sundays, MR 10 Cimmerilli closes the
doors of his saloon, No. Isl Lafayette street
for the purpose of attending to his religious
duties. Late in the evening of last Sunday
two excellent young men, ardently desiring
to moisten their clay, shook the locked
doors. Obtaining no response, they shook a
door SO vehemently that the frail fastenings
gave way. Finding the room deserted, they
helped themselves to liquids, naturally
choosing the best. After helping themselves
to all they desired, they stepped across the
street and informed the police station that
No. I57 was open and unattended. An officer
visited the place and found many valuable
articles, which were secured, and the house
guarded until Mr.. 10 arrived. The two
young men, previous to leaving the bar
room, left the following note:
We found the place open; took drink.
Reported to police; police have been here
and all hands had drink all round; also
took two fifty cent bottles claret. You owe
us one, and we will call tomorrow and

by saying that the house can be found
