. One OF the most dis raceful customs in
vogue at present Is the wanton destruction
OF property on Christmas eve. We are led
TO TINS remark by walk through jackson

men cannot enjoy themselves on that day in
some other manner. W.. hope this will not
occur again in our sister city.-Vicksburg
Times.
The Times has q similar rebuke for like
conduct in the Hill city. The ''custom
referred to has been so long tolerated in this
and other cities that it has become an eX
pensive nuisance. and should be abated.
Is certainly strange way to celebrate the
greatest event in the history of our race
Cl''zens whose property is thus annually
destroyed, are unable to see the joke. We
sincerely hope for voluntary reform il
this particular. If not, the strong arm o
the law should enforce it.

Murder.

The Alice, on her last trip to this place,
when about midway of lake Maurepas,
came in sight OF the body of man, which,
on being picked up, was found to have
been foully dealt with.
Five wounds were found in the head,
supposed to have been made by hatchet
in the hands Of the murderer.
The body was brought up as far as Clio
for identification and interment. The de-
ceased was known on the lower Amite by
the name of Weston, from Virginia, but
who had resided in that vicinity for a
number of years. He is said to have been
a steady, industrious person, whe by his
labor had accumulated quite large sum Of
money which, tor safe keeping he had
buried.
The report is that a man by the name of
Emile Miller, discovered the locality of the
buried money and murdered the unfortu-
nate Weston in cold blood, in order to
obtain it.
1t is also reported that the murderer
openly avowed his crime at Clio, and after,
ward was permitted to escape Whitehall
Gazette.

Court Items.

The personnel Of the juries impaneled in
our district courts has already been the
occasion of remark. The admirable pro-
visions of the law establishing the Superior
Criminal Court have caused this. In a few
days venire will have been drawn for
nearly all of the courts, and nowhere in
the Union can such juries be impaneled.
Seven hundred and fifteen names have thus
far been placed in the wheel. and 358 drawn
out. There now remain 357 names, and
from them juries will be drawn for three of
the civil courts. Our best citizens can spec
ulate whether theirs will appear on the list.
Either the clerk of the First District
Court or the sherif's deputies will have to
be more careful. Goldin Robinson was
before that court on charge of petty lar
ceny, and was not on bond. An order Of
court, no doubt properly issued 60 far as the
offense. which the Jurisdiction Of the court
included, discharged him. But he should
have pleaded to a charge Of carrying q con-
cealed weapon in the Superior Criminal
Court yesterday, and when the time came
he was non est. The order in the larceny
case had set him free from both charges,
and he now awaits the inspection Of a
capias.
Mr.. Henry Allin got acquitted of the
charge of carrying q concealed weapon be-
cause the old pistol he had could do no mis-
chief unless it was flung at somebody.

NEW ORLEANS FRIDAY, 1874
Decoration Day.

The thirtieth instant having been set
apart as day on which to decorate the
graves of our dead soldiers throughout the
Union, the Post of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Joseph A. Mower, No. !. of this
city, are making all necessary arrange
ments for the proper observance OF this
beautiful custom here. In addition to the
usual ceremonies, on that day will be
dedicated the new soldiers monument at
Chalmette. All friends of the soldiers are
invited to participate, and ample means Of
transportation will be provided. In con-
nection with this announcement we publish
the memorial order of the National Grand
Army Of the Republic, which is as follows:
HEADeuARrsRs GRAND ARMY OF 1Hs REPUBLic,
Adjutant Generals Odice
Boston, April "a, 1874.
General Orders No. TO-
In accordance With the rules and regula-
tions, the thirtieth of May next will be OBJ
served as Memorial Day by the Grand
Army of the Republic, and the customary
departed comrades by public services and
by visiting and decorating, 50 far as we are
able to do 60, the graves where they lie.
In making arrangements for it's Observ-
ance, departments and posts are recon-
mended to invite the cooperation Of COM
rades not members of the Grand Army of
the clergy, and of all who may feel inter
ested in these memorial services.
1t is earnestly hoped that in those places
where there are no posts, the day may not
be suffered to pass without suitable recOg-
nition, but that friends and citizens will en-
deavor to gee that the graves Of those who
sleep among them are not left unvisited.
Bv this simple act, we seem to establish a
communion between all who have loved
our brave while living and who honor them
when dead, and we Join alike with the SOL
emn professions which move with banners
and music from our crowded cities, or with
the little family, which on some lonely
farm, will, on that day, visit the quiet spot
where rest the remains OF him who was
once a beloved brother or darling son.
Together we inculcate the lessons Of that
self-devotion by which alone nation can
be saved in so terrible Q crieis Of its fate as
that through which our own was called to
pass, and we bow onr heads in gratitude to
the Almighty for His signal favor in pre-
serving our government from threatened
destruction; and, together, we re-dedicate
ourselves to all the duties Of patriotism that
are still upon US.
Nor would We seek to honor the memory
OF those alone whose graves we are able to
visit, but throug b them to commemorate all
that have passed away, who, in the hour of
trial, did their duty faithfully. Our noble
dead are scattered far and wide, but
whether they lie on the land or in the sea,
let ali be united in our remembrance,
wherever single hand may strew with
flowers the last resting place of a faithful
comrade. BY order Of

Third Term Vetoed,

Some ladies, friends of Mrs. Woodford,
wife of the Brooklyn member of Congress,
called at the White House, but were refused
admission by the watchman. Mr. Wood
ford, however, soon afterward came to the
rescue, and, under his escort, they visited
every part Of the mansion, and were ac-
corded the honor Of a special presentation
to the President. In the interview the Ia
dies spoke of the large portrait of the Pres.
the first floor. The President remarked
that he didn't know where he should find q
house big enough to hold it when they
should leave this. But" said Mrs. Wood
ford, ''you will be elected for third term, i
and this house will hold the picture tour
years longer" NO. replied the President,
II shall veto that. 1t would be initiating
nv term of office, and will always veto
imitation. ."-Ne,c York Journal of Commerce.

The Opera House.

NJ Gadilhe, the favorite tenor of the
opera troupe during the season just closed,
had the misfortune to be robbed, some days
since, of a considerable amount of money
and some valuable jewelry. This untoward
reverse on the eve of his departure for
Europe has somewhat disarranged his
plans. Although the dishonest servant who
committed the robbery was promptly ar
rested, the money and jewelry have not
been recovered.
In order to make amends for the loss thus
sustained, performance will be given next
Saturday evening for NJ. Gadilhei's benefit.
The favorite and admired opera, "Lucie de
Lsmmermoor," will be performed. Seats
may now be secured at the same rates -
during the regular season.

The eighty and 125 foot-lines were at
tached to empty bottles for floats, the
others to toy-balloons covered with colored
cambric. It is now seen that the current
at forty feet and 100 feet deep is the swift.
est The positions of these floats in their
passage showed where each current was
passing, ard was a very amusing as well as
instructive work. The General says sit
beat a horse race, and then lasted over two
hours. Each float was Of different color,
and as the green jacket would pass the red
jacket, and then the yellow jacket forge
ahead of each, then new squirt for the
green jacket would take it ahead, and they
would jockey, and take cut-offs, while the
deep current fellows would move steadily
on. The current proved to be five feet
per second, or 3.42 miles per hour, and the
river is but little over two feet below the
extreme high water mark. We understand
these experiments will be repeated from
Carrollton to the Barracks, that the
direction and force of the current at top
and bottom, for the whole front of the city,
can be known.

An Interesting Experiment-The Velocity
Of the River Currents.


We have seen the result Of some interest.
ing experiments that General NJ. JEFF
Thompson has been making to test the
velocity of the currents OF the Mississippi
river at different depths, and though only
the preliminary work has been done, some
facts are furnished that afford useful in
formation. A number of large tin cones
were suspended at depths Of 10, 20, 40. 60,
80, 100, 125 and $50 feet from surface floats.
These were placed IN the mjd.channel at
Carrollton, and were all started at once.
These floats were then followed in a skiff,
and the time Of passage of each and the
distance from the river bank was noted at
several known points, and also at the cross
ing of Canal street.
The distance in mid.river from Madison
street, .CarroLton, to Canal street, New
Orleans, as measured on Grandjean's new
map, is Al, $50 feet, or seven and seven
eighths miles, and the distances of the sur
face current on the came map is "A ,547 feet,
or little over eight and four tenths miles.
The following table gives the depth Of
each cone-sinker and time at which each
reached Canal street:

Tho South and tho West.

The Louisville Courier-Jous1,al of the
eleventh says:
1t is said that there is a movement on
foot among the Congressman from the
South and West for convention to be held
at St. Louis next fall to take into considera-
ton the material questions affecting those
sections The call for the convention will
state that it's objects are to consider the
questions of tariff, cheap transportation,
and the improvement OF the Missist ippi
levees. This is intended to be movement
outside and independent of New England
and New York, which are becoming to be
regarded by the South and West as anita
gonistic to their interests. 1t is not ex-
at this session which will meet the demands
of those parts Of the country on these ques-
tions, and they propose to make ample pre-
paratiOn for the next session of Congress.
1t is held by these gentlemen that neither
New England nor New York has any inter
est in them, unless it be to loan them capi-
tai, for which, as they allege, they demand
high rate of interest. To use their own
phrase, they propose to devise means to
take care Of themselves
In this movement Republicans and Dem
ocrats are alike united, and it is not i'm
probable, that before the close of the
present session call will be issued for the
meeting of this convention. 1t is intended
to have an effect upon the political canvass
next fall, and win meet sometime before
the November elections. The movement is
an important one. and the wonder is that it
has been SO long delayed. Federal legisla-
ton has been controlled by the Eastern
States for the past fifty years, to the great
damage of the West and South, which have
been oppressed and plundered, though
they have the power to relieve themselves.
What the West and South need is organ
ization, and should the movement ulti
mately secure this, the proposed conven
ton may Justly be regarded as the most
beneficent that has assembled in this coun-
try during the present century. Sympathy
for oppressed weakness is noble emotion;
but no people deserve or viii receive il
who have the power to protect themselves
and fail to do so.

The Concert at (srupevvald Hall.

Grunewald Hall was filed last night to
it's fullest seating capacity, the attraction
being the complimentary concert rendered
to the excellent vocalist and most
deserving young lady, Miss Lena Little.
The inception Of arrangements for this
entertainment was to the beneficiary
surprise, and the details were car
ried out with complete success by her
friends. The concert was in substance deli
cate bestowal of handsome sum Of money
upon one who will welcome and appreciate
the favor. Those who purchased tickets
and were present at the concert, did more
than to crafty themselves with musical en-
tertainment-they, in sense, expressed
their encouragement and sympathy to Mise
Little in her late loss of an indulgent STEP
father and guardian.
OF the concert itself but little need be
said. 1t was entirely satisfactory through
out, and each gem offered received its full
share of applause. NJ. Lourde, of the Opera,
had delayed his departure from New Or
leans on purpose to appear at this benefit.
and his superb baritone voice added greatly
to the entertainment. He sang solps from
"The Barber of Seville" and Hamlet" and
with Miss Little gave duo from LA Fav-
or;te" The latter was the best perform
ance of the evening. Master E. G. Tyler
and Mr.. P. Campiglio executed piano solos.
Miss Kate Thayer, soprano, gave the diff
cult Italian Waltz" in fine style. Misses
NJ. Gruneberg and Pirolle and Messrs. c..
C. Tracy and c. Van Benthuysen were also
heard to good advantage in duets adapted
to their voices. A better concert for a
better cause has not before been given in
a long time.
