THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION.

Gov. Shepherd, after making formal pro-
test against any more Investigations, and de-
claring that he did not want to be bothered,
discovered on Monday that an investigation
was inevitable, and thereupon declared that
he wished for it above all things had set his
heart upon it, and would feel dreadfully if
Mr.. Wilson's resolution was mot adopted.
This of course simplifes matters very much.
There is no opposition to tho inquiry in any
quarter, and it only remains for the Senate to
concur promptly in THE House resolution, and
for the Joint Committee to fall to work In
earnest. Mr.. Blaine has made very good
selection Of members on his side and we dare
say Mr.. Carpenter will do equally well on the
other. Every man In Congress, who can read
the signs of the times, must DO aware that 1T
will be unsafe to fool with the! affairs of the
District any longer, and that stories OF fraud,
jobbery and corruption in high places are now
40 often repeated and 30 commonly be-
leved that tho simple process or hurting
back will not answer. Nearly all
who have not shared in tho plumber are prob
ably convinced that it is time to unload. A
citizen of the District of Columbia wrote to
US the other day: 81 ask you seriously what
eve shall do in our present cOnfiictf We
"literally rest no hope in Congress IN case even
"of fair investigation. I can almost testify
"under oath to facts enough TO convict some
"of these robbers but what is the use OF
spending my time when [ know that at the
"end a venal committee of Congress will ex-
"culpate tho whole of tLemf I'm short, con-
eviction is impossible, a. it would recoil on
chose who now carry Some of tho money
"plundered from the city in their pockets"
We do not believe the case is so desperate
as our friend supposes. The investigation
must of course be public the sentiment OF
the country is very emphatic about that and
any attempt to close the doors viii arouse
suspicion and anger from one end OF the iand
20 the other. SO long az the examination IL
conducted in the broad light OF day, and there
are even two or three shrewd and honest
members on the Committee to press the Inqui-
RES. concealment will hardly be possible. And
if a 1.-THE of what has been charged prove true,
no political faction will dare to hold itself up
TO public odium as the protector OF King
which has been found out. Once get the facts
before the people, and whitewashing report
will be impossible The men who now ait at
Boss Shepherds banquets will be the first to
protest that they never knew him, and Will
scramble for the credit of casting the first
sfone nt him

Mr. ROUTRRLHS RUGAROOS.

The full revised report of Mr.. Boutwelrs
speech, delivered in the Senate on the 22d
ult., has at length appeared in The Congress
sional Record. Upon many of the questions
connected with tho currency now everywhere
under discussion, Mr.. BOutwelps opinions are
unimpeachably correct. The wonder is that,
after all his experience and unsurpassed OPP
portunihes for observation, so many absurd
notions should still find place IN his mind
As an opponent of imitation, as an advocate of
dealing with the deficiencies in the Govern
ments income in a bold and honest way, and
as an enemy Of experiments and novelties in
financial legislation, Mr.. Boutwell, appears to
advantage in the speech we are about to crit
icise, and we are glad to say that his views were
listened to by the Senate with more than Ordi-
nary attention and respect But when the ex
Secretary deals with such subjects as the bal
ance of trade and ship-building, and the con-
nection which he suppOses to exist between
them and the restoration OF our debased
money to the gold standard, he carries us
back three centuries at least. We seem to be
listening TO the exponent OF an age when
commerce and manufactures, If contrasted
with their present development, can hardly be
said to have existed at all, and when the
science whose principles he attempts to ex-
pound was still unborn.
fhe difficulty iii the way OF resumption, in
Mr.. Boutwels view, is the poverty which
is incident to our condition as new country.
The wealth which we have not, and which we
must have before we can resume specie paw
ments, is "the accumulated wealth of genera
"tionsn We must become creditor country
like England. Great Britain and Germany are
our creditors. They will not lend us the gold
which we need to place our currency on
specie basis, and if we attempt to resume
without their aid they will take our gold away
from us. Hence, III order " res4me. we must

at tho West, tho Reform Movements in New
York City and in Philadelphia, the election OF
Gov. Booth in California, the late deadlock
in the Iowa Legislature, are all indications OF
it's growth ana progress. The people sicken OF
tho widespread corruption and tire OF the
rule of the caucus. The feeling creeps slowly
into party conventions. Mr.. James Freeman
Clarke stood up in the Massachusetts, Repub-
lican Convention last September, and in the
face of Mr. Benjamin +. Butler asserted the
divine right of boiling, clearing at once by
bold and manly utterance On atmosphere that
was fairly foggy with the bubbles and eva
sions of men who were vainly trying to recon
cile their sense of truth and duty with the
miscalled obligations of party honor. The
people are far in advance of the party
leaders and of those who consider them
selves representatives and opponents of
public opinion in this matter. They are
getting ready everywhere TO assert their
own individual rights and give honest
expression to their own preferences and opin-
ions no matter what parties may declare or
caucuses demand. The Connecticut Democrats
had first-rate opportunity to set the exam
pie of party enfranchising its own members
and releasing them from a slavlsh tyranny.
They could have done it at no cost OF prln-
cple and with no sacrifice of strength but
they did not dare. They have only left it for
the people to break the bonds themselves, ana
that they will surely do.

There is no lack of work for the Special
Committee on Retrenchment appointed by the
New-Jersey Assembly yesterday. Beside the
reduction in the salaries of State officials, for
which the appointment was especially made,
a fruitful field of labor will be found In the

grant case of extravaganza, and 1t will be
useless for members to expect any credit for
economical measures so long as they leave 1t

A New Way to Break a Faro Bank.

Yesterday there were lively times al
the Faro Bank, on Royal street, near Gus
tomhouse, and play of an exciting, but by
no means satisfactory nature, to gent con
nected with the place, and police officer
was called in to put st, p to the bust
ness.
There are two. sides to the story, and
both are given:
Charles Green states that as usual he this
morning he entered his place Of business,
deposited $500 in the cash drawer, and sat
himself down to read the morning papers,
when Leon Wolf came in, knocked him in
the head with a piece of iron. and then went
for the cash drawer. He (Green) then ran
down stairs, closing the door behind him,
and kept his man a prisoner until he got an
officer.
The money was found on gallery run
ming to the rear of the premises. Mr.. Leon
Wolf says, from behind the bars that he, as
was his custom, went into Green's office and
proceeded to make himself at home, when
Green iEtmated that his ways were rather
too easy and his visits too frequent, and
wound up by saying that he was thief and
came there to steal. That on this he knock
ed Green down, and afterwards finding him
self prisoner, took the money and threw
it on the gallery.
The charge recorded against Wolf is as
sault and battery, and robbery Of 5000, and
the chances are that it will 60 hard with

WHAT WAS IT!

A few evenings since as car, filled with
ladies and gentlemen, was en- route down
town from the upper districts, very ele-
gantly dressed and beautiful lady rang the
| bell When the car stopped at the crossing
the Young lady rose from her seat and
gracefully gIided out of the door. Instantly
however, there was observed the most
remarkable effect upon the cOuntenance OF
every individual in the car, the ladies were
blushing rosy red and almost forcing Their
pearly teeth through their coral lips to keep
from laughing, while the gentlemen turned
red aud white by turns as they glanced fur
lively at something on the floor Of the car
just where the lady had been sitting.
1t was very curious Article to be
sure and lay there as coiled up
and contented as possible. 1t was OF a
bright crimson color, about twelve inches in
length, and had the most ingenious golden
clasps at each end. Everybody stared at it
and though there seemed nothing especially
merriment in others.
Finally one gentleman, more daring than
the rest, made dash at it, grasped it firmly
in his dexter hand and rushed after the lady,
who, hearing his excited ordinations
stopped, turned, advanced with inimitable
grace toward the gentleman. extended her
hand to receive the article, with thanks
written in every feature of her smil-
ing face, when, suddenly discovering
what it was, she started as if shot, an
expression Of horror overspread her features,
and exclaiming with marked hauteur and
indignation, Z" That is not mine, sir" turned
and walked off like an offended queen. The
feelings of the gentleman may be fancied,
but can never be described. He returned to
the car sadder and wiser man, and throw
ing the crimson devil on the floor, resumed
his seat amid an explosion of laughter.
If lady should accidently drop her head,
bonnet, chignon or any other appendage
in the presence Of that gentleman,
it is safe to assume he would not pick it up
for the tabled wealth of Cresus. He says if
he were an Englshman he would never sub
NIT to being made Knight Of the Garter.

WHITE AND BLACK POPULATION.

To the Editors of the New Orleans Bulletin:
There Is very general error prevalent IN
reference to the numerical strength Of the
two races in Louisiana.
The census taken by the Radicals in the
most urfavorable season of the year does
indeed show that there are 2143 more colored
persons than whites in the State, but when
we analyze the census returns we find this
excess made up Of six thousand six hundred
and forty more cOlored females than there
are colOred males, and there are 1S3, OBJ
white males of all nationalities, and only
17e,7s4 colored males, leaving the large ex-
cess of four Thousand two hundred and for
ty- seven more white males than colored.
At the close OF the war Louisiana had, by
casualties thereof, lost probably 1900 men.
and, in the nine long, painful years Of OPP
preston which have followed the war, boys
who were only twelve years OF age are now
voters. The places of the men we lost are
being rapidly filled by the white yonths
who are arriving at maturity.
On the other hand, the mortality among
the negro men is ve'y great, a. any
practicing physician will tell yon, and the
between the number of the negro
men and negro women is increasing al a
frightfnl rate.
The immigration into the white parishes
and the hllly portions OF the state COM
pensate our losses three fold. We have the
numbers in men; we have the strength; let
us stand together as one, and the future
Of Louisiana is assured. In a
time like this, when whole race is banded
together by compact organization, the
" bite man who will desert his race through
the hope Of plundering poor despoiled
deserves the brand of Cain upon
bis forehead. CENSUS.

We are gratlfied to know that the injn-
ries to Mrs. Weinberg are. not as serious as
was at first supposed. DR.. Chopin, we are
informed by the Secretary of the Company,
has pronounced her injuries to be of a
slight nature. The manner in which the
old lady got out of the car still remains q
profound mystery, and the fact that she
escaped with her life must be regarded as
little short of miracle, when we consider the
terrific force with which the dummy struck
the car in which she was. sitting, and the
utter demolition of the interior of the car.
We have heard it suggested and we think
the idea worthy of the serious consideration
OfGen. Beauregard, that an attachment could
readily be devised, whereby the steam would
be shut off on the instant of dummy's
breaking away from q car. A very simple
mechanical device would thereby render
these now dangerous motors less pow
erful for mischief than mule. Some
thing of the kind will have to be done be-
fore confidence is restored in the dummies,
which, previous to the recent accidents, had
become very popular
We should regret very much a return to
the horses and mules, and must confess
that we have been delighted with the gen.
orally admirable working of the dummies,
which are at once clean, swift, economical,
and, so far as explosions are concerned, per-
fectly safe. All that is needed to make
them perfect as motors is an attachment to

THE WATER SPOUT.

About 1880 P. NJ. yesterday, in the south
ern sky, was seen the phenomena known as
"a water spout. Looking at It in a direct
line from the BULLETIN office, it resembled
an inverted spire, and its outlines, notu It'll
standing the heavy leaden color Of its back
ground, were plainly marked. As the
snowy clouds gathered in a compact mass
it gradually faded from view and was lost
to the naked eve.
