"The Witches Of New York." The piece Is an Old
one, and depends for success upon the Introduction
OF number OF strongly marked conventional types
OF New York liie-such as Filth avenue swell,
Hebrew jeweler faro dealer and q dismally funny
BOheman-the whole bound together by the
ordinary incidents or doubtful marriage, Q

thunder. The houses are not encouragingly large,
but the audiences display fair degree Of Interest
and enthusiasm. Mr. Aiken mas what we believe IS q

THE oPBLoUsAs RAILROAD LANDS,

One Of our neighbors is slightly at sea
about the lands granted to the Opelousas
Railroad Company by the United States.
The company was allowed certain time
in which to build their road, after which
they would be entitled to patents for the
land But the company had no right to
sell an absolute title to one acre until the
same had been acquired by compliance
with the terms of the grant. Conditional
sales could he made, and were made,
which were nothing more nor less than a
release by the company Of its claim to
the lands. The purchasers who paid
money under such circumstances took the
risks Of the company going on with the
work, or refunding in case of failure.
When the company incurred the penalty
Of forfeiture, the claims of all who held
under it fell, as they could not, under any
circumstances, acquire rights their vendor
did not possess.

STILL HARPING ON OGDEN.

Mr., Ogden informed the twelfth ward
Democrats that they had existed for four
years under q system of oppression that
never had a parallel in the civilized world,
and he still further informed them that
this monstrous evil had its origin in the
government at Washington, and was solely
to be attributed to that fountain head of
wrong. Does anybody believe this? In
civilized France the liberty Of speech and
the liberty of the press are and were mat
ters of government censorship. Bona
parte could and did arrest and imprison
men and patriots for criticising his actions;
and in civilized Prussia to-day the En-
peror can suppress any orator or writer
who scandalizes the government as Mr..
Ogden has scandalized both the State and
national authorities. Italy, we believe,
is considered civilized, and yet it was not
many years ago that the public expression
of opinion-concerning politics OF religion
was subject to the scrutiny and consent
of the State. Russia is civilized, and
yet man dared not be Jew in
that country short time ago. How are
these instances Of oppression to be com
pared to the license that has existed in
Louisiana, where it has been a common
occurrence for those who were under the
ban of the government for one act of re
bellion to be swelling about the com
munity in q second rebellion against pub
lie authority because it did not emapate
from the exact source that they prescribed?
If Mr.. Ogden had said in Berlin what he
has said in New Orleans, if his friends had
done in Vienna what they have done in
Louisiana, he would have been in prison
and they would have been dead or trans
ported. And yet people who have not the
time to reason and compare notes about |
these things, when they seek information
from Mr.. Ogden as from friend, are
misled and cheated into the impression
that they are sufferers beyond all example.
And being deceived they wrong them
selves and their friends by acting badly
under the force of this bad, advice.
Now, Mr. Ogden knows better than lie
speaks. He is fully informed wherein
he misinforms those who ask his candid
instruction. And the Democracy does not
reveal this evil when informed about it,
when L. = as i man should see another
tel ms heishbor that arsenic vas q pleas
alat alet' and did not interfere, would be
entitlea to command the eyes Of all the
people.

PROMISES AND PRACTICES.

Mr. Robert NJ. Lusher has defined his
position, without improving it. He de-
clares his anxious desire and design TO be
the faithful and industrious instructor of
all the children Of the State, without re-
gard to race, color or condition. This is
good SO far as mere declaration of inten-
ton can be accepted as a guide to aid in
the selection Of an agent, but it does not
suffice to explain away the stronger argu-
ment suggested by his conduct in the past
and his present management Of the Pea
body fund. If the class that needs in
struction the most ought to be most at
tended to by an agent charged with edu-
eating the needy is the rule that Mr..
Lusher acknowledges, his practice does
not agree with his theory in any respect.
Therefore his card does not improve his
position.
