There was a rather thin house last night
at the Varieties to hear Verdi's opera of
"Traviata," on the occasion of the benefit
of Nine. Corani. The performance passed
off smoothly, and Nine. Corani was greatly
applauded for the artistic manner in which
she acted and sang the role OF Violetta.
She has decided dramatic talents and an
excellent voice, and uses them both very
effectively. In fact, she is irst-elass
artistic.
Mr.. Baccei, the young tenor, won new
triumphs by the manner in which he filed
the role of AlfedO This gentleman GER
tainly has voice of rare natural quality,
and if he viii devote himself to acquiring
a little more finish in his style, he cannot
fail TO make himself famous.
There are to be more representations by
this troupe this week, on which cur people
are TO be congratulated. Monday night the
opera of " Lucretia BOrgia,' with COrani
and Baceei in the cast, VIII be sung, and we
feel safe in prophesying great treat to
those who attend. We are assured that
Nine. COrani won great success in "LUcre-
tia" in London and St. Petersburg. We
hope to see as full house as the merits Of
these artists should secure them.
Besides the opera of Lueretia," there
viii be given the great hymn, - Roma Capt.
tole,' composed by SignOr Nicolao.
On Tuesday Il Trovatore" viii be re-
peated, with Nine. Corani as LeOlora and
Baccei as 1fauricO.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Your issue of the third of this month, of
which keep file, contained the following:
"CLosMG THEIR BUsNEss.-Act No. 80,
to amend article No. 644 of the Code of
Practice, has been promulgated, and takes
the sting out of those engines OF tyranny,
justices of the peace. This amendment ex-
empts 5000 worth Of the poor mans prop
erty from seizure, and he can now lie down
to sleep knowing that that insatiate mon
ster, the constable, can not take the table
and dishes he eats off of, or the chair he sits
on"
1t is strange, Mr.. Editor, but it seems that
your views, and those Of everybody else, in
fact, upon the sound constitutionality of
this exemption law, are not concurred in by
every legal mind who presides over the des-
TIMES of the different Justices courts of this
city. For instance, that distinguished '.iu-
dex" of the Sixth Justice Meyers), in suit
pending before him, has seen fit to allow, in
spite of that act, No. 80, and of its promul-
cation in your paper, attachments to issue
from his court directing the president Of the
Canal and Claiborne Street Railroad Com
pany to answer under what he knows con
corning the wages of a certain Adam Smith,
one of the drivers on the line; and Smith
went up, swore to an affidavit, gave bond,
fled petition for writ Of injunction and
the release of his wages, after which he was
politely told by the ''insatiats," as you
justly call them, that he owed So so, not
withstanding the remark of Smiths counsel
to the 'Judex" that ian injunction against
an execution is not a new suit in which the
debtor becomes plaintiff. but in the nature
of an opposition to the first suit, and forms
part of it."
And then, if that was all. But oh there
is another of those talented justices who
entertains the same disregard of act No.
80. allude to the Hon. II. NJ. Dibble, who
has allowed the same harsh remedy to is
sue, compelling the president Of the New
Orleans Railroad Company to declare what
he knows concerning the budget of one
certain John Giugas, another driver The
same formalty that Adam Smith went
through with was employed for John
Giugas, butwith this little slight difference,
that it costs poor John the pretty sum OF
seven dollars and some cents
Now, Mr.. Editor, candidly, what is the
necessity of enacting and commenting on
good laws if they are to be irrespectfully
obeyed Yours,

of the State Republican Convention, the
State Central Republican Committee has,
through a committee of conference, pre-
sented to the Central Republican Commit
tee presided ver'by Hon. p. B. S. Pinch
back plan for accomplishing Cancellation
and harmony in the party, just and feasible
in every particular; and
Whereas, Said committee has declined the
proposition submitted, by so far modifying
1t as to destroy it, have submitted to us a
plan impractical, and that guarantees no
certain unity, but the contrary; therefore,
ReS0lUed That we, the members of the Re-
publican State Central Committee Of Lou
isiana, while regretting the failure of our
efforts to heal the partial disunion in our
party, are persuaded that the modified pro-
position for adjustment of existing diseon-
tents does not meet the ends of unity pro.
posed and could not be safely accepted by
us as representatives Of the Republicans of
the State.
Resolged, That we, the dignity and value
OF the interest affected considered, are still
willing to adopt any practical and fair
basis for settlement of any difficulties exist
ing in our party.
ResOlCed, That the chairman of the con-
ference committee furnish the committee, of
which General Campbell is chairman, with
a copy of these resolutions.
A true copy. T. w. De KLYNE,
Secretary.
The Republican State Central Committee
regard this rejection of the compromise by
the CustOmhouse committee, agreed to by
their own committee of conference, as indi-
eating plainly
First-That the majority of the Custom
house committee do not desire union of
Republicans.
Second-That they would agree to no fair
and honorable adjustment.
Third-That some Of the leaders of that
faction contemplate a sale of the Republican
party to the Democrats and so-caIled Re
formers, and therefore desire to keep the
Republican party divided
Fourth-That the mass of the Republican
party is not divided, but viii follow the
lead of the regular Radical Republican
State Central Committee, presided over by
Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback Of the Republican
State Convention, called to meet May %,
1872, at Mechanics Institute.

Republican Meeting in Claiborne.

Pursuant to previous call, meeting of
the Republicans of Claiborne parish took
place at the Courthouse in Homer, on Sat
urday, the eighteenth instant, for the pur-
pose of appointing delegates to the Repub-
lican State Convention, called at New Or
leans on the twenty-eighth instant.
Robert T. Vaughn called the meeting to
order, and, on his motion, w. Jasper Black
burn was called to preside, who, on taking
the chair, explained the object of the meet
ing, and at some length dwelt upon the
present attitude of political affairs in this
State and throughout the Union. His re-
marks were well received and attentively
listened to by all present, including num-
Der of prominent Democrats.
B. D. Harrison was then called on to act
as secretary.
The appointment of delegates being in
order, Robert T. Vaughn nominated W.
Jasper Blackburn as one, and j. E. Scott
nominated John S. Frost as the other
Claiborne being entitled to but twO-both
of whom were unanimously confirmed.
j. E. Scott then offered the following
reSOlublOnss WHICH were unanimously
adopted:
ResOlved, That the delegates from this
parish be and are hereby authorized and
empowered to use their discretionary .judg-
ment as to the appointment of delegates to
the Philadelphia convention, as also in re-
gard to all other phases and features of the
proceedings OF the State convention to
which they are sent.
ReSoIred, That in the event that only one
of the two delegates be present in the State
convention of the twenty-eighth instant, he
shall have the power Of casting the whole
vote OF Claiborne parish.
Robert T. Vaughn offered the following
resolution, which was also unanimously
adopted:
ReSoLUed, That inasmuch as the cOnven-
ton to be held at New Orleans on the
twenty-eighth instant is in part for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for State
officers, we request that the name Of our
lOng-tried and faithful fellow-citizen, Hon.
w. Jasper Blackburn, be put forward as
the first choice of the Republicans of Clai-
borne parish for the Office Of Governor of
Louisiana at the next election.
Upon the adoption Of this resolution the
chairman stated that being himself dele
gate, it might place him in. an awkward
attitude, as he certainly could not be eX-
pected to vote for himself in a nominating
convention or elsewhere. Still, he received
it with a high sense of gratitude, as coming
in sincerity from those who knew him best;
but with the personal compliment which it
conveyed, it would doubtless end, as it
could hardly be expected that an unsophis-
ticated and unpretending plebian from the
outskirts of the State would be accorded
candidacy for high Office when there were
so many nearer headquarters, pleading and
even intriguing for all such positions. But
he none the less heartily and sincerely
thanked his friends for this expression of
their Partially and good will.
On motion, the Homer IIiad, New Orleans
REPUBLICAN and National Republican were
requested to publish the proceedings;
whereupon the meeting adjourned.

The managers of the Industrial EXPOSE
ton, wishing to attract the attention Of the
fair sex and to create a pleasing novelty for
the benefit of their numerous visitors. ad-
vertised list Of five prizes to be awarded
to the five prettiest children visiting the
Exposition yesterday evening, between the
hours of four and seven o'clock, viz: First
prize, offered by Messrs. Suer & Spurrier,
Louisville, KY, a fine perambulator or
child's carriage; second prize, by EXPOSE
ton Association, frosted silver cup; third
prize. by E. A. Tyler, handsome case con-
tanning silver knife, fork and spoon; fourth
prize, by Z. Lilienthal, handsome silver
mug; fifth prize, by A. B. Griswold d Co.,
a silver and glass bOquet vase. Inc prizes
were to be awarded by committee OF nVe
confirmed bachelors.
Children of one year and under were
eligible to the first prize; two years and
under, to the second and third; two years
and a half and under, to the fourth and fifth.
1t is needless to say that such proclama-
ton as this was an appeal to the motherly
pride of the Crescent City, and we chroni-
Gle with ioy the fact that over 100 patriotic
and anxious mothers appeared promptly at
the hour above mentioned to exhibit their
charming Iblt6 Oucss lucIb WOlO 1A4S W
babies and seowling ones; babies with
smiles and dimples, others with tears and
Woefnl countenances; babies to the front,
right and left of the astOnished and be-
wildered bachelor judges.
Then there were confident mothers and
arrogant ones, mothers benign and mothers
bewitching, and mothers from whom the
five bachelors could expect but small conso-
latiOn for a decision adverse to their Gown
pretty ones.'' Can it be doubted those
bachelors hearts trembled in lonely bosoms
at the spectacle3
A good brass band, with lively strains,
marshaled the charming throng, and at the
word of command two lines we're formed, Of
mothers and babes, extending from one end
of the Exposition hall to the other, when,
with deliberate purpose and faltering step,
the five bachelors essayed their perilous du-
ties. Fifteen babies were chosen as the
prettiest of the whole assemblage, and from
the picked fifteen were selected the winning
five. The decision of the judges was an
nOunced as follows:
First prize, Mrs. S, P. Parmly; second
prize. Albert Baldwin; third prize, H. w.
Fowler; fourth prize, Mrs. D. FOlwell; fifth
prize, Mrs. James Z. Wallace.
While the five exultant victOrs crow with
delight over their beautiful prizes, who can
compensate the disappointment OF the
ninetv-tive whose dreams are now troubled
by defeat? Can any one OF the i've
bachelors

THE SCHILLIEGER PAyEMEET.-In a city
like this, where the foundation of our streets
is everywhere mud, and where there are no
quarries from whence to draw supplies Of
stone for paving purposes, it behoOves our
people to take an interest in any invep
ton which promises to afford cheap and
reliable substitute for natural stone with
which a firm foundation can be made for
our banquettes, court-yards and alley ways.
The substance known as the Schilljnger
pavement appears to us to fill all these re-
quirements. 1t has been subjected to the
severests tests as to its strength to resist
pressure, its toughness and its resistance to
the effects of damp, frost and travel, and
has been triumphant in all. 1t can be laid
down upon all descriptions Of surfaces and
in any desired form or color, with almost
the same facility that mortar can be spread
upon bricks, drying quickly and hardening
ready for use almost Immediately. In
localities where grass is likely to grow in the
cracks Of flag stones or between the bricks
of pavement, this pavement, as it has no
seams, is particularly adapted, and while it
wears as well or better than the best Ger
man flags. it has none of the Objectionable
features of that material, as it can not be
mashed out of place by weights or thrown
out of level by frOsts, thus making those
nuisances knownin cities as dandy traps"
and thus destroying the beauty and com
fort of the pavement. Persons who may
feel curious concerning the Schillinger
pavement can see it before the Times Office,
on Camp street, or before the residence Of
our enterprising friend B. T. Walshe, at
No. 344 Baronne street. At both these
places it forms the banquette, and we will
venture to say that there are no banquettes
in the city-no matter what the material
may be-which are smoother, harder or
more beautiful. Mr.. G. F. BrOtte, No. q
Carondelet street, is the agent for the
Schillinger Paving Company for this city,
and is prepared to put it down in any re-
quired form or extent on most reasonable
terms. See card concerning it in another
column.

THE CHEAPEST AS WELL AS THE BEST
Those splendid shirts, which Mr. S. N.
Moody is now selling for the mere song OF
SIS for six, are perhaps the greatest bargains
ever offered in this city. Made up in the
most durable manner, out Of fine and fresh
materials, they will, undoubtedly, last as
long as any wearer could desire. And so
far as looks are concerned, we defy any
body not an expert in the selection of dry
goods, to detect any difference while only
having the slight opportunity afforded by
social intercourse with the wearer. There
fore, as the case stands, everybody who de-
sires to economic, should at once invest in
supply Of these shirts. Six for S..

STILL VICToRIoUs.-It is remarkable that
tie people of the Southwest are so unani-
nous in their admiration of the Grover &
Baker sewing machine. If this adm iration
had been elected in our community, or even
State, we would not be astOnished, although
unanimity of sentiment upon one subject
especially when there are adverse interests
which, Of course, labor to prevent it's of
rare occurrence yet, as the machine in
question is almost perfection, and our people
highly appreciative of good thing, the
thing might happen quite naturally. But
it is not one community or State, but a
whole series of communities and States,
that has spoken with one voice, from Ala
bama to Texas, from Arkansas to Louisi-
ana. This is astonishing, and is an honor
which fewNmachines, indeed, have received
since man first began inventing. Certainly
no one can doubt now the value Of the
Grover g. Baker sewing machine.
