The Next Speaker.

To the Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
As the time approaches for the meeting OF the
Legislature, and as much depends on the proper
organization of the House and especially the
epeakership, it behooves us to look searchingly
over the number of gentlemen returned elected
10 tnat body Tor person possessing the neces-
safy requisites and elements for the position. A
man OF nerve, decision and fairness Is required
one who has been consistent in his advocacy OF
principle and true to the status of 1872; one in
deed fearless and impartial and who will deal
with questions potentially, and with will; and
not dlily-dally or swerve in the discharge Of the
important duties and obligations that are thrust
upon him by the Office itself.
No man is better qualified or more suited for
the position than John +. Billin, of Lafourche
parish. Mr.. Blllin is an attorney of prominence
IN his section and is in every sense capable for
the chief position in the House. He is the only
member Of the McEnery Legislature Clover
Heuse) who has been returned elected to the
Legislature which meets on Monday, the 4th Of
January, next, and he stands to-day where he
stood in 1872-an answering, unfailing, and
Jealous enemy to the Kellogg usurpation. We
want no middle man in the Speakers chair. We
want no man who ever cOquetted with the
usurper or who has countenanced the miserabl,
government that has been held over us by the
force Of bsyonsts. And John s. Billin is, above
oil others, the man to maintain the rights Of our
people in defiance of the wishes of tyrants and
schemers, and his unyielding devotion entities
him to the place. ORLEANS.

can actor, except Forrest" This is hardly accu-
rate. The richest actor this country has pro.

investment. Next to Owens comes Jefferson, who
is not only rich in interestpaying securities, but
has plantations and estates in Louisiana, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and elsewhere, and Is con-

THE COMING CARNIVAL.

The arrival of Lord Bathurst has set in mo-
ton all the wheels Of preparation, and from the
whispered indications among the loyal subjects
of the King, the coming carnival promises to
surpass in grandeur and jollity its many splen-
did predecessors.
The secresy in which the many participants in
the varied organizations are shrouded, prevents
us from arriving, at this early date at any other
than general idea of the character Of the dis
play contemplated.
It is known, however, that his Majesty is at
present in the port of Santander, Spain, super
intending the operations Of the army OF Don
Carlos, large detachment of whose army will
probably escort him to his American capital,
where he will arrive on Tuesday, 9th of February
next.
Among the imperial troops located in this city
the greatest activity prevails; the Kingis Own
Regiment are already in an advanced stage OF
organization and discipline, the ranks of the Ok
orians rapidly filing and the Biloxi Battalion
of Infantry, composed OF the boys Of the Contra !
High School and other academies, is daily drill
ing to take part in the reception to be accorded
to his Majesty.
The latter organization is destined to become
a great favorite with the people of New Orleans.
It will be armed by prominent citizen, whose
public spirit has shone conspicuously in many Of
New Orleans greatest attractions. It will be
magnifcently uniformed by the School Of DesigD,
and under the tuition of capable and careful in
tructors, expects to surpass any other military
organization in the South in perfection of drill
and evolutions.
The "Pack," which has heretofore won go
many encomiums on Mardi Gras, is shutting its
cards for new deal, and no doubt among many
other organizations, the veil Of whose mystery
is too close to be penetrated, the clink Of ham
mers closing rivets up gives note of preparation.
At night the blazing torches Of the Mystick
Krewe will irradiate the streets with msgnii
cent pageant, and the dying hour Of the event
full occasion will be danced into dawn at host
of splendid balls.

LOUIS JANIN, ESQ.

The death of Mr.. Louis Janin is announced in
another column. The melancholy event occurred
yesterday. Mr.. Janin had attained the advanced
age of y years, and died in the full enjoyment Of
all his mental faculties.
| Mr.. Janin was born in France. In spite Of his
reticence concerning his origin, his contempora-
ries know that on his mothers side he belongs to
one of the noblest families of the Kingdom Of
Portugal. His grandmother married one of the
generals Of Frederick II, Of Prussia. The King
of Portugal, who admired the genius of this emf
nent soldier, employed him to instruct his troops
in the new military tactics.
The mother of Louis Janin was the issue oil
that marriage. Mr.. Janin became an orphan in
his infancy, and was sent to Germany and reared
on the estate Of his grandfather. After the death
of the latter his tutor settled his accounts, and
succeeded in getting young Janin to travel
through Western Europe.
He saw military service for some time, and al
last felt desire of coming to the United States.
He arrived IN 1926 or ~ and visited the West
he spoke with rare perfection, as well as the
German, French, Italian and Spanish.
In 1928 or % Janin came to New Orleans, and
was much pleased with the country and the man.
ners of the people.
He was, few years afterward, admitted to
practice as lawyer, and has since had no su-
perior competitors in his profession.
He had great professional energy, and his nu-
merous successes in the most complicated cases,
marked him as great lawyer.
Mr.. Janin was cultured gentleman, frank and
Straightforward, and always ready to assist
others.
In 1845 he established a sugar refinery in the
neighborhood Of New Orleans, in association
with Mr.. J. P. Benjamin, at that time famous
lawyer Of this city. He lost in this undertaking
large capital, which he had accumulated by his
untiring industry at the bar.
In 1880 or 1881 he married Miss Covington,
one of the daughters Of Gov. Covington, Of Ken
lucky. He had from that marriage four sons,
who have distinguished themselves by their &C.
quirements and honorable character.
Edward, the eldest, died in the field of honor,
during our late civil war, whilst in command of a
Confederate company. The other three sons are
at present practicing law in California, Nevada
and Washington City.
All those who knew Mr.. Janin can testify to
his amiable disposition and suavity of manner,
and although his death was not unexpected,
vet it will be received with mono the less regret,
as it is the close Of long life Of usefulness and
extingushment of brilliant intellect.
