HAMlLroN's OrERA HousE.-A very
elegant audience gathered at the Opera
House last night to Witness the great
Shakspearjau tragedy of Macbeth. as

While vast reforms are continually
proposed in national, State, county
and municipal administrations, and new,
sweeping changes suggested, we have
many excellent laws regulating the
affairs of the public which are not strict
ly enforced For instance, here in our
own State the statutes require ali Off
GERS receiving public revenue to make
reports at stated times and turn over the
moneys that come into their hands, after
deducting commissions If this law was
strictly observed and enforced there
would be a regularity and a certainty
about our revenue system that is not at
all times conspicuous. In the first place,
the officer is usually required to give an
enormous bond, sometimes amounting to
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars, and
in casting about for property holders
able and willing to 20 on his bond, he
must either find men who have I'M
bounded faith IN ms ineorrupubilty or
be must allow them TO appoint his depu.
ties, and thus embarrass him in the con
troll Of his Office; but it must be said
that bondsmen are oftener influenced
by sympathy and confidence thar
any other reason, aud that the
official rnust have the renufation Of nm.
swerving honesty before any one will &c

and complete settlements made ever

then bis books examined By expert &C
countants. likewise under oath, the
official would feel protected in an honest
s-5eavor 20 do his duty. his bondsmen
would feel assured. aud the public

BERLIN, February 5.-The new bill for
the reorganization Of the German army
provides for service of twelve years, to
be divided into three classes, viz: Three
years service with color regiments, four
years in the reserve force, and FIVE years
service in the landwehr. By the provi-
sions of this bill the army on a peace
footing viii number 4Ol, $50 men.
The Gazette, in reviewing the Asian
question, says it remains to be seen if
England viii yield where her vital inter
ests are concerned. Germany can never
forget that England has for centuries
been her trustworthy ally. The interests
Of Germany and England are unlikely
ever to clash.

THE LoUIsiANA CASE.

The most unexpected revelations were
made before the investigating committee
in the Louisiana case at Washington day
before yesterday. The developments Of
corruption aud downright rascality are
almost as graphic as the late Pome-
ROY sensation in Kansas. A man named
jacques was called as a witness. He
had been register in Plaquemine parish
under Judge Darrell in 1868 and 1870,
and testified that in the latter year he
had issued 500 duplicate registration pa
pers and $50 on the day Of election to
parties who all voted. In the late cleo
ton he played an important part. Mar
shall Picard furnished him a navy launch
and he, with Judge Prescott, went down
to the parish and found in all 3Ol per-
sons who had not voted, most Of whom
were prevented by distance, or said
they did not care to vote. Only one
man signed an affidavit. Prescott was
not even present, but signed 1000 atii-
davits in blank at jacques house in
New Orleans, and jacques then filled
up 1913 of these affidavit signatures
with the names obtained from the poll
books Of ls67-s, many Of them being
men of straw-all Of which he did
under the orders of General Sypher.
There were 1000 names on the regstra-
ton books, which General Sypher
learned, and then called on Jacques
for $500 affidavits, saying that the
books ought to stand that. This bust
ness of manufacturing spurious afiida-
Wits was carried on up the river also. A
custom-house officer went up and speed
ily returned with the afiidavits of 1900
mythical Africans. Here the commit
tee which was organized to whitewash
became very much irritated, and Gen.
Sypher came forward to cross-question
the witness, but witness wiped out Sy-
pher by the statement that ne (SypherJ
had been present when the ballot-boxes
we're stuffed to elect him to Congress,
and had himself bought the boxes for
the purpose. Another witness testified
in manner that confirmed all jacques
he'd said. The committee then ad-
iourned in bad humor. The old say
ing that murder will out is being
verified all over the country with a ven
geance. The turning point is at hand;
either the corruption in Office must be
punished to the extent Of the law or
the country will learn to take these
things as a matter Of course and grad
ually merge into a despotism held to-
gether by money and bayonets.

knowing once = month how much rev
enue had been collected, and that Il
was turned over TO the proper receivers,
for these Inspections should be made a
matter OF record and published in an
official form. II such a duty could be
properly assured by committee OF
leading citizens. or imposed on suitable
persons by law. we believe that It would
give more satisfaction to the officials
themselves as well as the people at
large than any distinct and simple in
expensive measure that could possibly
be adopted. Under such Il system no
officer could hold public funds lawfully
longer than one month; hence his bond
would not be so heavy, aud there would
be protection all around. The Grand
Juries may look into the affairs OF any
officer, but seldom feel il required of
them, and besides the jury Of twelve is
too cumbrous a machine, and not always
made up Of book-keepers. The present
laws are not strict enough, and rarely
enforced with any too much vigor or
regularity. Improvements could be
made sithout venturing into the realms
of experiments or doubt, and with the
certainty OF good results. No officer
can object 70 the most rigid scrutiny,
and the people should be advised from
time to time what their public servants
are doing A little reform in this direc-
lion would be good economy and have a
salutary effect
