Returned from Galveston.

Doctors w. G. Austin. Joseph 5. Scott and
Howard Smith returned to this city last
evening from their trip to Galveston, where
their efforts resulted SO favorabIy to our
people and our commerce.
These gentlemen express themselves in
the most complimentary manner concerning
their reception and treatmeat in Galveston.
There seemed to be a complete unanimity
among the merchants, physicians, the press
and officials Of that city, on the subject Of
raising the quarantine; and. on such a pre-
sentatiOn of facts as our ENJOYS were ena-
bled to make, the decision was arrived at to
comply with their request at once.
DR.. Peete is spoken of as an earnest,
thorough and conscientious official, and he
LETT most pleasing impression upon his
guests, to whom he extended every cour-
tesy and whom he treated with the most re.
fined consideration. The people of Calves
ton manifested the warmest feelings toward
our people, both cities having a mutual in
terest in each others prosperity. Calves
ton and New Orleans they pronounced sis
ters in prosperity and in disaster. Nothing
was left undone by them to entertain their
guests and make their visit agreeable.
The people of New Orleans are placed un-
der many obligations to Drs. Jones, Smith
and Austin for the favorable result Of their
mission, and in behalf of its readers, the
REPUBLICAN gives them its sincere ac-
acknowledgements. .--------.--.-

The domestic drama of the Little Bare
foot" received its first representation at
this theatre last evening, in which Miss
Alice Harrison appeared as Anwy. All Of
our readers are familiar with the story of
this drama, depicting the joys and sorrows
of the simple orphan child. Amyy is q
character requiring wide range of powers
in an actress to truthfully portray the
meaning of the dramatist and illustrate the
various emotions of the young heroine,
from grave to gay, from smiles to tears. In
her personation Miss Harrison succeeded
admirably, and suffers nothing by compari-
son with the we'll known artist already
famous in the part. The other characters
in the piece were well played, especially SO
that of William, Peace, by Mr.. T. L. Con-
nor, and Jenny by Mr.. J. P. Kilbourne.
The latter gentleman is a low comedian of
talent much above the average of actors in
that line found in stock companies, and is
sure to become favorite. The ''Little
Barefoot" will be repeated again tonight.
For the matinee tomorrow the "Little De-
tective" is underlined. TNT

grasp, aud is hourly taking off its victims
1t is difficult to speak one moment favor
abiypf any one case. for the next moment
may eontradict it. Quite number of our
old citizens who are down, were reported
favorabIy last evening but it is not safe to
to say what the morning may have
in store for them. We heard of but few
new cases yesterday, but the course of the
disease is so treacherous that conjectures
are out of the question. At times it appa-
rently lulls, but only to take fresh start.
The atmosphere is SO impregnated with
pestilence that hardly any person feels well.

The Third District Court room has been
repaired, painted, carpeted, refurnished,
and otherwise improved, SO that a summons

job, and to him and to Administrator Fitz-
esreiter is due the credit of making the
room fit place for lady to enter.

had witnessed the riot and heard the de-
nunciations of the mob, try the lives of his
clients. He himself needed more time for
The Attorney General did not
desire to press the case to trial, but he did
not wish to yield to tho outcries of any
mob. The Burgesses should be brought
into court and. motion for new trial
made in their presence. If they were not
brought up the mob would think the court
was afraid. Force enough could be en-
ployed to prevent any riot. The court again
its desire to have the case con-
tinued, and it went over to October II.
