BADGER AND HIS POLICE.

1t will be seen from the following extract
from the Louisville COurier-,Journal that we
are not alone in our estimation of the Kel-
logg prietorian guard Of this city, under the
special command Of Capt. Badger. An alien
and stranger is vigorously followed up, and
the Government Of Spain is aided in its
prosecutions of Spaniards and refugees from
that disorganized government. The follow

WASTED SYMPATHY.

The gay deceiver Richards he of the Don
Juan propensities, whose amours in the
Fourth District created so much scandal,
and whose robberies all over town excited
so much wrath is now resting quietly in
that classic retreat. known as the Hotel
FremeauX or Parish Prison.
As in every instance of similar character,
there are not wanting people now, that the
libertine and swildler has been caught, who
make excuses for him and endeavor to
prove that he was not as wicked as he has
been painted.
After all he was no worse than Don Juan,
and if he obtained money under false pre-
lenses, robbed his friends and relatives, male
and female, and stopped to all sorts Of
desperately mean and criminal actions,
why, well Congressman steal nowadays,
and even murderers and thieves are re-
warded in this State with office.
| We can etfectually stop all this nonsense,
however, for a letter from a near relative
Of Richards, living in Virginia, has been
exhibited to us, which states to us that he
is an unmitigated scamp, "wholly bad, with

Dan Eagan Goes to Jail on an
Old Charge.

Dan Eagan, after his capture on st. Mary
street Oh last Monday morning, as being one
of the parties who gave Officer r. T. Elmore
such rough deal, and afterwards engaged in
the promscuous shooting which followed,
was in due time brought up before the
Judge of the Municipal Court in the Fourth
District. Dan. however, had on hand a
number of witnesses to prove the innocence
and harmlessness of his intentions iE being
where he was caught; he making it clear
Ito the mind of the Judge) that he was on
his way home at the time of the difficulty
was attracted to the scene by the firing, and
was not one of three men who assaulted the
officer. He was accordingly discharged. and
was about to leave, when SPECIAL officer
Ward appeared, and ordered Dan to be
locked up on charge of robbing j. w.
Sherlock, which has been pending against
him in the First District Court for long
time, but which has never been tried be-
cause Daniel could not be found. Eagan
was subsequently sent to the Parish Prison,
where is to be hoped that he will remain
until the charge is investigated.

thief or thieves entered the residence of
Captain w. B. Clark, on Annunciation, be-
tween Washington and Sixth streets. The
entrance was effected through one of the
front parlor windows, the thieves then go
ing through the house into the hall, and
then quietly up stairs, when they entered
the room occupied by Mrs. Wright, and
forcing the armoir open, scattered her cloth
ing around the floor Then, taking the
drawer of the armor into the front gallery.
they took therefrom the pocketbook of Mrs.
Wright, but, fortunately, there was only a
few dollars in currency and a pair of gold
sleeve buttons in it.
Before going up stairs they had secured
several pieces of valuable silverware from
the dining room, but being frightened, it is
supposed, by some noise in the house, made
their escape, and in their hurry left the sill
verware on the upper gallery. Mrs. Wright
states that they must have chlorotormed
her, as she was perfectly unconscious of their
presence in her room, and the family We're
not aware Of the robbery, until the servant
went to Capt. Clark in the morning and in
qnired if he had left the front parlor window
open; upon receiving an answer in the mega
tive, Captain Clark and the servant proceed
ed to investigate the matter, when the rob-
berry was discovered.

Caconielet Street Gossip.

Our correspondent, in answer to editorial
"Bank Statements" in yesterdays morn
ing issue, IS justly severe as to causes OF
the depression of some Of our bank stocks, he
must remember that the few designated by
him do not embrace the whole list, which
numbers eighteen.
It was not onr purpose to part;cularize
and dwell upon the misfortsnes which,
during the past disastrous season, have over
taken the banking institutions of this city,
but simply suggest remedy, current at the
time on the flags, by which those banks
who looked to the enhancement of values
in their stock from fair showing Of their
standing, might better further their pur-
pose in the eyes of the public.
Many who have sincerely the interests of
the community at heart sometimes forget
that in patrOnizing the numerous foreign
insurance companies to the detrimeDt OF our
home institutions, not only bring about an
incalculable injury to local enterprise, but
assist materially in building up foreign in
situations, from which we meet with no re-
turn. Once capital il drained from this Sec
ton of the country, it very seldom, If ever,
FctuEIlS WIbh JuUSc DcucHto Ih whfGh, esieso!
we are SO much in need.
Our insurance companies are run upon
solid financial basis. If some sli9er as to
this point, and for this reason prefer doing
business with foreign institutions, let them
by their assistanc assist in making them
up to the standpoint from which preference
ia given to ontside enterprisel
On the other hand, leaving aside the
numerous benefits, which we do not propose
to gainsay. are derived by insuring in
foreign companies, there has always been in
this section OF the country mania for what
is comparatively unknown to us. Now our
proposition is this Draw line Of c0Hpari-
son between our companies and those OF
England, and if necessary give the casting
vote to home enterprise, if you can do so
without injury, and always keep well before
you the fact, that premiums paid to English
| corporations never return to rs in any ade-
quate shape, while those paid to local insti-
buttons are turned over, and capital, so
much needed in this community, is not
drained away.
Reputation Of both the State and city
debt seems still to be a prominent topic OF
conversation amongst financiers, and it is
now rumored and authenticated on very
good authority that formidable Organiza-
ton has been formed in this city, who are
pledged, should there be new election in
November, to support such candidates for
office as will carry out strictly to the letter
the platform of the party, which is repudia-
ton. We should very much like to hear
from our City Fathers, whether there is any
truth in the rnmor that some Of the apprO-
priations for current city expenses for this
ear are nearly exhausted.

SUMNER CONCERTS AT GRUNEwALD
HALL.-The closing of the operate and
theatrical season will draw the attention of
the musical public to the summer concerts
to be inaugurated next week.
We have obtained the following infol ma

of these concerts is not speculation.

clans as have made this city their home, and
who during the summer months, have but
few chances of earning a living. The
owner of that large hall, Mr.. L. Grunewa d,
with his wonted liberality, has placed the
same at the disposal of the director of the
concerts, Mr.. Rob't Meyer, with the under
standing that the receipts be applied towards
paying the musicians, and only in case of a
surplus, Mr. Grunewald will receive a
percentage of such excess, for the use
of mis- elegant hall. Abundance to the
concerts will be by subscription only,
and lists have been opened at the p'in-
cipal music, book and jewelry stores
The subscription price has been fixed at s.
per dozen tickets, good for one series of II
concerts, the first one of which will be given
, on the 18th inst, and the last one on the
18th June. No tickets will be sold at the
door nor can non subscribers obtain single
tickets excepting through subscribers. The
concerts will take place on Monday. We'd

What it Costs to Feed Repub-
licans.
The State an Expensive Lux
ury.
Millions for Tribute-Not One
Cent for Defense.

As Uncle Sam has undertaken to RIM the
State Government Of Louisiana, it would be
bright idea for him to farm it out to the
highest bidder, as the city does the
markets. In this way he could make money
out of it. There are thousand men, even
in this State, who would pay million OF
dollars year for the privilege
CfCollecting the Revenues
and pay the expenses, and, besides, guar
antee to give us better Government than
we have now.
The undertaker-we mean the contractor
could safely guarantee the State against
overflow, construct Fort st. Philip Canal
for each of his misunderstanding, or before
the termination Of the third term of Presi-
dent Grant.
This proposition is susceptible Of proof.
Here it is. But first we will premise that
one cannot pay out more money than he re-
ceives. Therefore the money that has been
sxpen led in running the State for the last
nine years
Must Have Been Received.
The difference then between the revenues
of the State and what the expenses ought
to be gives a grand margin for profits.
In ante bellum times it cost trife over
one million Of dollars per annum to run the
government of Louisiana. The following
table exhibits the annual disbursements
from October l, 1864, to December 81, 1874.
