Mrs. Z. +. Chairman.

A fair audience greeted Mrs. Chanfrau
last evening. She appeared in one of her
specialties, which has attracted the at
tention of the critics of New York and
elsewhere, and they pronounce it one of
the finest pieces that Charles Reade ever
wrote. The delineation Of the Scotch fisher
woman, Christie tombstone, by Mrs. Chan
frau is simply superb. She SIMS with ex-
quisite sweetness you and l" and Caller
Herin." In these songs she was frequently
encOred. The play abounds in exciting in
cidents and novel effects. The acting of
Miss Louisa Hawthorne was in her charac-
teristic style-sprightly, vivacious and fas-
cinating, appearing with more than the or
binary grace we are accustomed to see
on the stage.
This evening, Mrs. Chanfrau appears as
Dora in the drama by that name: and to-
morrow she takes benefit, on which occa-
sion she will appear as Julia in the 'Hunch-
hack

THE CITY HALL.

With the single exception Of license pay
ers, who occasionally visit the Office of the
Administrator of Finance, the hall may be
pronounced in state of great quiet, and
the several departments dull as regards
interesting news.
Yesterday a deputation Of citizens waited
upon the Mayor, presenting the following
petition
To the Hon. B. ?. Flanders, Mayor OF New Orleans:
WHEREAS, The Metropolitan police force
of this city has been withdrawn from its
legitimate duties. armed and usel for po-
litical purposes in violation of law; and
Whereas, The city is exposed to turmoil,
bloodshed, robbery, anarchy and all the
train of crimes which may result from this
condition of affairs;
Therefore, the undersigned, citizens of
New Orleans. request you, as chief magis-
trate of the city, to issue call to all good
citizens to come forward and offer their
services as cOnservatOrs of the public peace,
and sign their names at your office at such
hours as you may designate.
New Orleans, January 9, 1872.
An industrious circulation of the lists
succeeded in procuring a number OF sigma
lures, and the long roll wasiaid upon the
Mayors desk.
The Mayor answered the deputation by
referring them to the act of the Legislature
of March s, 1869, which prohibits the Mayor
of New Orleans from making any police
appointments, or exercising any police au-
thOrity.

that the guilty parties should be punished.
He then went into history of the proceed
ings Of the House since the first day of the
present session. He showed that Mr.. Car
ter had by the grossest kind of wickedness
attempted to defeat the action of the ma
.jority in order to maintain himself in the
Speakers chair. He had promised through
Mr.. Yorke, he would resign the next morn
ing after he had been voted out of the chair,
refusing TO entertain the motion or recog-
nize the vote at that time. When the next
morning came new trick had been sprung
upon the House, in which Messrs. Schu
macher, Stevens, kearson and Wilson
played d prominent part, and Mr..
Carter refused to keep his promise
to resign. For the part that Messrs.
Schumacher, Stevens, Kearson and Wilson
took III that disgraceful affair." he believed
they should be expelled. and he therefore
moved the adoption ofsthe report and reso-
luton.
After some further discussion they were
adopted, fifty-seven members being present
at the time.
Mr.. Davidson then moved that the
adoption OF the resolution to expal mem
bers who continued to absent themselves
from this House be postponed until to-mor
row. Adopted.
Mr.. Davidson then moved that the Ser
geant-at- Arms instruct the guard to permit
members who have been with the Carter
faction to pass to and from this House.
Adopted.
On motion of DR.. Worrall, the House
adopted the resolutions passed at a joint
meeting of members of the Legislature and
citizens, held on Tuesday night in the House
of Representatives, expressive of sorrow
at the death of Representative Wheyland.
The House then took recess until ten
O. clock this morning

The Little Bare Arms.

A distinguished Paris physician says:
l believe that during the twenty years L
have practised my profession, twenty thou
sand children have been carried to the Gem
eteries, a sacrifice to the absurd custom of
exposing their arms. Put the bulb of a
thermometer into a baby's mouth, and the
mercury rises to ninety degrees now carry
the same to its little hand; if the arm be
bare, and the evening cool, the mercury will
sink to fifty degrees. or course, all the
blood that flows through these arms must
fall from ten to forty degrees below the
temperature of the heart Need l say, when
these currents of the blood flow back to the
chest, the childs vitality must be more or
less compromised! And need l add that we
ought not to be surprised at Its frequent re-
curing affections of the tongue, throat or
stomach l have seen more than one chlid,
with habitual cough or hoarseness, entirely
relieved by simply keeping the hands and
arms warm.

The VERDICT.-After the jury Of inquest
concluded the work before it yesterday
morning in Dryades street, on the body OF
Mr. Wheyland, they adjourned to private
room on Common street, between st.
Charles and Carondelet streets, where
verdict was agreed on. 1t was that Mr..
Wheyland came co his death at the hands
of w. w. Mccullough, John and lsidore
Mccormack, as principals, and G. W. Carter
as accessory before the fact. A warrant was
Immediately issued for the arrest of MIR.

before eight o'clock, and doubtless came to
the knowledge OF the accused at that hour
