THE STATE HOUSE.

| The election bill consumed the most OF
the Senate's time yesterday, and there was
an evening session for the purpose of for,
warding the work Of legislation.
| In the House the special order Of the
| day-,he revenue bill-was postponed in
| order to take up the license bill.
A message from the Senate was here an
supplemental appropriation bill. mo-
ton was made. to suspend the rules in
order that the bill might pass Immediately,
but the motion did not prevail, and the
bill has to come up in regular order. The
license bill was taken up, and each section
passed upon. 1t was then adopted as a
whole and passed through its several read
ings, and goes to the Senate for the con
currence of that body
An effort was then made to take up the
Senate's supplemental appropriation bill,
but failed for the want of q two-thirds vote.
Mr.. Faulkner then moved that the State
House bill be withdrawn from the com
mttee of the whole. This motion WAS
strongly opposed, bat the friends OF the bill
finally succeeded, after several ballotings
on adjournment, in obtaining a recess until
ten minutes before seven o'clock. The
House was adjourned at five O'Clock, to
come together again at ten minutes to seven
in the evening.
The election bill finally passed the Senate
last evening. 1t goes to the House for con
currence. Last night the Senate was en-
gagged in legislating ON the new Metropol-
itan Police bill until half-past ten o'clock,
when it went into executive session.
In the House a suspension of the rules
was obtained in order to take up the Senate
Pontchartrain railroad bill. The bill was
then read ard finally passed. 1t authorizes
the sale Of the Pontchartrsin railroad to
Mr.. Charles Morgan, and its incorporation
with the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
railroad.
The Joint resolution, asking Congress to
refund the tax collected On raw cotton, also
finally passed the House. An unsuccessful

THE CITY HALL.

| The proposition of the Mayor to Abolish
| coroner's jury fees is not likely to prove
| very acceptable. As long as citizens are
! compelled to abandon their business and
serve on these inquests, they ought to be
| paid for it. The fact that number OF per-
sons do not claim their fees does not alter
the merits of the case at all nor does the
additional fact that the same persons ire
quently act as jurors. The object of the law
lis merely to develop the facts attending the
decease.
The Mayors parlor was this morning re-
plete with the sensation Of young girl res
cued from life of shame, and sent to her
home in the West. The Mayor himself was
the good Samaritan, and the fascinations of
one of his special officers the persuasive me-
dunn for the accomplishment of the deed of
benevolence
The plans drawn by Surveyor Bell for the
new sliding bridges to be thrown across the
Orleans canal, at the intersection OF the
Metairie ridge, and for the Marigny canal,
are by no means difficult to understand
where ordinary intelligence is brought to
the examination. They are, beyond doubt.
the best plans, and the bridges, when COM
plete will be the most serviceable in the
city. 1t is true they are entirely different
from those used over the small creeks and
bayous in the country. The cost of con-
struction will be far less than the more COM
plicated but less serviceable draw bridges
now in use.
The Orleans Milk Club has petitioned the
Council for permission to allow their cattle
to run at large in the area bounded by
street and the swamp. No action will be
taken in the premises. a protest against
the establishment of pound in the upper
portion of the Sixth District will probably
share the same fate.
The Administrator OF Improvements has
set to work large force whose business it
will be to fill the holes which, during the
recent wet weather, have been created in
the unpaved streets. Many of these thor
oughfares are in frightful condition, and
quite 1mpassable to vehicles.
Officers Of tie city government have as
yet only received their salaries for August,
six months pay being now due A majority
of the employees have been compelled TO
either sell their certificates Or deposit them
as collateral for money borrowed.
Fifteen gas lamps have recently been
placed on Berlin street. in the Sixth Dis
trict, much to the relief of citizens residing
on that thoroughfare.

Charles Francis Adams Visits tho Presf-
dent-Cabinet Meeting of Two Hours
No Answer to England AdOpted-COnfi-
Dental Communications Between the
Two GOyernments-Lord GranviIle's
Note Read in Cabinet-NO Cause to Ap
prehend War.
WASHINGTON, February 23.- Charles
Francis Adams, with Secretary Fish, visit
ed the President to day.
The Cabinet meeting to-day lasted two
hours and a half. No answer to England
has yet been adopted. The contents of the
communications between the two govern
ments are regarded as confidential in execu-
! tive quarters.
| Speculation upon the contents is uptrust-
| worthy.
The note of Earl Granville sent to Sec
| retarv Fish through General Schenck, was
read to the Cabinet to-day. A genial con-
| versation ensued, continuing several hours,
| in which the merits of the questions pre-
sented concerning the Interpretation of the
| treaty of Washington were discussed.
There may be a further conference on the
| State to "the friendly note" shall have
| been prepared While this govern
ment does not seem disposed to modify
| its statement of the case, it wiz
doubtless respond to the British objections
in such spirit as will show its earnest de-
| sire 1Or SeUUlemenC Oh tle QutStioNS az
| issue in a manner altogether honorable to
| both nations, through the tribunal of arbi-
| traitors provided by the treaty. This is
| known to be the desire of the President
and all the members of the Cabinet
Application was made to-day for copy
of the British note for publication, but
without success-the refusal being based
on the ground that to furnish it would not
only be against precedent but disrespectful
to the British government at this stage OF
the proceedings; and it was further said
tonight by high executive officer, that
| not even the substance of the British note
could now be communicated through an
official source. nor had it been repeated to
any private parties.
| At the same time it was remarked as
note of friendly character, and couched in
delicate language, and as the reply would
be in like temper, there was therefore no
cause whatever for any apprehension as to
| the continuance Of peace between the two
| countries.
| Hon Charles Francis Adams remained at
| the Executive Mansion but short time
| after the Cabinet assembled, having spent a
| few minutes in conversation with them.

We had the rare fortune to hear Olive
Logan deliver her lecture on "Girls " in this
city, in Maryland Institute, before an au-
dience numbering little short of three thou

tanned by lecturer of no ordinury talent,
yet we were unprepared for the revelation
of a splendid woman made OF the best ma
terials that God devotes to such creations; a
wit flashing like sunlight from the edges OF a
Toledo blade, an intellect strong in the III u.s.
clio of logic, a soul brave in the champiloG n
ship of truth and right, and, to crown all, a
grand self possesslon-a mark OF well
poised nature, enabling her to maintain her
own individuality, clearly outlined, against
any conflicting magnetic power of her au-
dence. The gentlemen Of tho committee
did an unprecedented thing in engaging a
woman to open the regular course OF lee
lures of the Maryland Institute.

TIiSS Funny EaYenEcrt.

During the week just about to close, The
enterpiising manager of tie Varieties
Theatre has afforded the patrons Of the le-
gitimate drama a bonnie boucAe ct fashion
able life in this country at the present time
something that affords an excellent lesson
to all who have entered the holy bonds of
matrimony, or contemplate doing So
The engagement of that charming and
accomplished actress, Miss FavAy Daven-
port, enabled the manager of the Varieties
to present the latest New York sensation,
in the way of a play, in the most pleasing
and instructive manner.
The play is among the latest productions
of Mr.. Ausustin DAILY, the author of
| 'Leah, the Forsaken," Griffith Gaunt,"
Under the Gaslight," "Flash of Light
ming" "Frou- Frou." MAN and Wife,"
! and Horizon" and is entitled Divorce"
Miss Davenport commenced her present
very successful engagement last Monday
evening with this play. Her impersona
ton of Fanny Ten Eyck, the beautiful but
wayward young wife, is certainly a very
choice bit Of acting, and has not failed to
| impress the dilettanti Of our city of her
merits as an artist.
The play is a very long one, aud unless it
| possessed much excellence would certainly
weary an audience before coming to a close.
1t requires very strong cast OF characters,
| superior scenery and excellent equipments
to render this piece properly: aud these
very necessary adjuncts are possessed by
| the management Of the VaIieties. The
| lady and gentlemen performers attached to
the regular company are all good artists,
and the scenery and equipments Of the
theatre are Of a frst-class order We are
satisfied they are not eAcelled by any other
theatre in this country.
AS this is the last night of Miss Dayen-
ports present engagement, we are satisfied
there will be another crowded house to wit
ness her perfect rendition of the young and
| beautiful but wayward wife. The lesson of
this play is worth far more than the price
| of admission.
