The new counterfeit fifty cent note is thus
described: On the counterfeit, the lock OF
hair in the corner Of Dexter s forehead touches
the other hair at each end, while in the genu7
inc it is q sc" shaped lock, and touches only
at the lower end. On the upper right hand
corner of the back, the figure 6, in 1868, is
reversed, so that it faces to the left instead of
the right The paper, too, is thicker than the
genuine. Lines are printed on the back to
initiate the silk threads, but they are not
found on the face of the piece.

THE PIC AND THE BULLETIN.

The BULLETN's course in the matter Of the
appointment of Judge Pardee by the Presi-
dent does not meet the appreciation Of the
Picayune, and We are not at all surprised
thereat. The BULLETIN has very rarely been
SO unfortunate as to receive the appreciation
of the Picaylne It certainly does not desire
such appreciation, and we are never SO sure
that we are pursuing the right path as when
the Picayune assumes to point out the error
of our ways.
The two articles in reference to Judge
Pardee we admit are open to the charge Of
inconsistency, but we prefer to be Inconsistent
and riqM rather than consistent and ,crong.
The Picoysne is indeed jewel Of consist
ency. 1. has veered to every shifting breeze,
and has now leaned toward Kellogg, and
anon struggled desperately to lead the van Of
the opposition. It championed the cause Of
'.Immovable Neutrality" and then swung
away SO far from those moorings as to have
lost its reckoning altogether. In now cham
pioning the cause of the man appointed by
the President for the position of Judge Of the
United States District Court for Louisiana,
the Picayu,e evinces its usual disregard OF
the prophecies.
We have the interest of all Louisianians to
see Judge appointed who will be fair and
impartial in his findings-no more and no
less We trust the skirts of the Picayune are
equally clean. Had Judge Pardee not afil-
lated with Kellogg and the other officers Of
the usurpation, we should have been happy
to have endorsed him, for personally he has
many Of the qualities which would fit him for
the position but we found him in bad COM
pany, and could not therefore advocate him
for SO important and responsible position.

1t is rumored that there are two parties on
the Radical side of the House endeavoring to
control the action Of the Returning Board
On the one side are ranged Packard, Wells,
Ray, LOWELL Casanave and Kenner, who
seem determined to count in Radical major
ity in the Lower House, despite the returns
and Kellogg and Anderson on the other side,
who seem to think it safer to return bare
majority of Democrats, and as o matter OF
expediency are endeavoring to prevent the
Returning Board from OVERRIDING their
fraudulent work. 1t is just possible that ell
the parties concerned may discover that there
is much truth in the trite old adage that
honesty is the best policy"

THE DEeEHHRAoY OF THE DRAMA,

A witty French theatrical critic makes some
very timely as we'll as entertaining comments
on the new style of dramatic literature now
in fashion in Paris, the only recommendation
to popular favor of which is the extravagant
style of dress of the female performers en-
gagged therein.
"Last year," says the writer aforesaid,
an ingenious theatrical reporter informed us
that certain number of leading ''modistes'
were invited to the last rehearsal in order to
pass judgment upon the stage effect Of the
various costumes devised by them. Since
then, not single new play has been per-
formed without elicit;ng some special penny
a-liners description Of the minutest particu-
lars Of the several dresses worn by the leading
actresses engaged in the piece.
'.Should this system continue to flourish, +"
adds the writer we have just quoted, 1--WE
may expect to read the following paragraphs
on the day following the first presentation Of
any new work:
"Mlle. Athenais was never seen to better
ouSAASot5O WHO'LL ~ WIG bAoSAAA 0SCAO "AOA0 6A0
acknowledges her fault to her father. Mile.
Athenais had fir colored dress which drew
tears from the entire audience. When thisdress
threw itself at the feet Of the actor Alfred, who
played the part of Lest;boudois, the father,
there appeared black grenat Boufant trimmed
with tu4e, which elected from the audience
the unanimous exclamation, Rachel has
come back again 20
"And what shall We say of Mademoiselle
Anastasie? In the part Of the younger sister,
her yellow corsage, garnished with spinach
colored ribbons was brim full Of poetry. And
when she added, pardon her papa. she won't
do SO again, the rapt attention Of the whole
house was concentrated on her exquisite little
boot, with . two-inch heel, which was thrust
forward with genuine dramatic power. This
little boot is, in itself, poem. Everybody
knows how chary of compliments We gen.
orally are, but after seeing Mile. Anastasie's
coysage and Jottine, we can't help saying that
this young artists place is henceforth in the
very highest rank of the profession. We
have not reached the Partisan standard just
yet but late theatrical notices in the New
York papers show that in the New World
dramatic art is fast drifting toward the same
highly aesthetic phase.

The Administration party has evidently had
about all it cares for of Kellogg and his tribe
in Louisiana. The attempts Of the Board of
Canvassers to keep back the returns of the re-
cent election and cheat the people again out
of their legally elected Legislature have been
little too much for the most Jealous parti-
sans to bear. The Chicago Tribune, in the
face of the Presidents message, comes out
squarely against Kellogg; says q true count
Of the votes of 1872 by Democratic Legisla-
ture would show that McEnery was elected
Governor, and adds:
1--WE think the Republicans, as a party,
have carried Kellogg and his associates long
enough; they have kept him in power by
force for two years. against the solemn judg-
ment Of the Investigating Committee Of
Republican Senators that he was usurper.
Behind that Judgment the Republican party
cannot now 60, particularly when the people
OF the State have affirmed it by late vote
that is too decisive to be questioned One of
two things should be done: either order
new election for Governor, or let the party
which carried the late election govern the
State, even if Kellogg loses an Office which
he cannot hold an hour save by the aid Of the
Federal army and navy"

The recent, and, to say the least, remarka-
BILE, manifestations of what the believers call
spiritual action, has called forth in the
Northern press extended notices. Judging
from the wonderful tricks and mummeries the
"ghouls or demons" perform through the
aid Of the so-called mediums, one is led to
believe that the imprisoned souls of those
passed away are now, for the first time, set at
liberty, and to US alone is given the high
privilege Of viewing the forms and features Of
those departed. We have no desire to enter
in detail into the discussion Of the question,
as it would involve too much time and space,
but we can only say that the subject is hourly
becoming more and more important as the
British scientists pursue their Investigations
The materialistic school Of Spiritualists are
enjoying what they imagine to be victorious
confirmation of their doctrines, whilst their
half brothers Of the Swedenborgian theory as
yet hold aloof. The ubiquitous katie
King" whose materialized form has answered
the beck and call Of believers from Kansas to
New York, has already enlisted the admiring
mods of those who can see "spirits of the
Vastly deep" and we learn that gentlemen of
known veracity and perception are to take
the subject of her demonstrations in hand.
Although the subject offers broad field for
speculation we refuse to enter.

Some Reli ef Cor eur River Hen.


We publish in this issue very interesting
decision Of Judge Meunier pertinent to the
jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace in and
for the parish of Orleans over civil actions in
stituted against steamboats,, steamships, OF
other vessels, or the captains and owners.
The reasons for the judgment are clear, and
the object and spirit of the statute, and the
causes which induced the Legislature to en-
act it, are well set forth.
The Judge has not extended the construction
of the act, We think, but has shown the wisdom
Of the Legislature Of 1860, the year in which
the statute was enacted. The importance OF
the decision will be recognized by all our
river men. Previous to the passage of the
act, the masters of STEAMBOATS, and vessels
were purposely, on the eve of their
departure from port, harassed by null
tiplicity of suits, instituted before JUS
tees Of the peace holding their courts remote
from the business portion of the city. Their
inability to attend these courts with their
witnesses, the trials taking place often on the
same or next day, was throwing door wide
open to the designing to take advantage of
this class of persons, already overwhelmed by
their numerous engagements and various
duties.
This ruling deprives no one of his rights,
but carries out the intention of the Legisla-
ture fully. The recognition of the right Of
river men to protection from the gross abuses
which may be planned against them is oppor-
time.

| 1t appears that the proceedings Of the Re-
turning Board henceforward are to be kept a
profound secret. All deliberations in the con.
tested cases are to be withheld from the public
although the questions upon which that tri-
bunal is to pass are those wherein the peoples
most sacred rights are involved.
By resolution Of the board, every member
is pledged to say nothing whatever of the de-
alterations which take place within that sealed
chamber, and the public, whose dearest in.
terests form the subject upon which the board
is to pass, are to be denied even the slightest
knowledge relative thereto-to be kept in
utter ignorance Of the proceedings.
Mr.. Arroyo, we are constrained to believe,
does not sufficiently appreciate the great i'm
portance which attaches to such move on
the part of the Radical members of the
board, and does not see in it grave signifi-
canoe which the proceeding positively i'm
plies.
Certainly he is aware that, under the strict
est surveillance, it has been SO managed that
our interests have been repeatedly jeopardized
by the abstraction of important documents,
which had been submitted for the considera-
ton Of the board; that in the face of every
remonstrance, and despite able argument,
the outrageous resolution throwing out the
parish Of De Soto was passed; hence
it is, We prefer the suggestion that, taking
these facts into consideration, Mr.. Arroyo
he may exercise the utmost en-
deavor-and we feel assured that he will
cannot protect our interests. Even were he
provided with the eyes Of Argus, be could
scarcely exercise that supervision which would
insure us against the perpetration Of other
