These gentlemen will please mark down:
Present debt, s23,OoO,Oo present ex-
penses $4,000. 600; present taxation, two

will call after their Inauguration and ask
them to report their figures. Whatever
may be the result, they can not hold the
Republican government OF party respon-
sible, either for cause or consequence.
We shall respect the city government
without regard to the political character
OF those who administer it, but we have
very little hope that any material reduc-
ton of patronage, debt or taxation is to be
anticipated from the change of one set Of
Democratic oficeholders for another.

THE ISLAND OF COZUMEI.

y party Of eleven persons, both sexes,
recently arrived in this city from Missouri
bound fox Cozumel, an island in the
Caribbean sea. in sight Of the Yucatan
coast. a little north Of twenty degrees
latitude. 1t belongs to Mexico, and the
commercial restrictions are SO peculiar as
to nearly prevent trafiice with the outside
world. As to climate and soil there can
be no great objection urged. though
strangers are liable to suffer from pecu.
liar fever. The island does not contain
many inhabitants, and those that reside
there find but little trouble to sustain
themselves. Several people left the
United States at the close Of our civil war
to locate and pass the remainder of their
lives or Cozumel. but they did not remain
long. finding that notwithstanding tropi.
cal fruit could be produced in rich album
dance. there was little OK no market for
the results Of their toll. This island is
admirably suited for those who desire to
bury themselves alive and live in sleepy
ease. He who settles there must first
make mp his mind to exist as a hermit.
Mans wants are few there and easily salts.
fed. provided he can cas-. aside all
those fancies and realities which we
Of this country consider necessary to our
happiness. Those who leave these States
to dwell in that lonesome region should
leave all ambition. except that to simply
sustain life, behind them the moment
they put their feet on the deck Of an out
ward bound vessel. Unless this is done
they will surely and sorely repent ever
having left their homes in Missouri; OF
other States. This we give as warning
to the little party who are to-day to EN-.
bark for Cozumel. II either of the emf.

antiquities to engage him for years. as
there are immense remains Of that peoples
work still extant on the island; indeed il
has been stated that there are evidences
that this island was inhabited or settled
long before Iucatau was populated. by
race now unknown. The country, both
in climate and soil, may be superior to
ours. but even with those two advan.
tages we still claim vast superiority
in every other respect for the United
States. If any Of our citizens wish TO
themselves, let them go little
beyond Cozumel and find the island of

Mexican island. Ruatan belongs to Span

MR.. TALNADGE.

Speaking from the Tabernacle, Brook
Ign pulpit, the Rev. Dewitt Talmadge has
lately severely censured and ecclesiastic-
ally damned theatrical performances and
all connected Herewith. In doing SO he
laid himself open to criticism from all
along the line, and he is getting it from a
profession apparently able to defend the
standing of its members, even when at
tackled by the immaculate Brooklyn clergy.
Mr.. E. L. Davenport, who is every inch a
! gentleman and scholar, 'talked back at
his benefit Mr.. William B. Freleigh, Of
the Bowery Theatre handled the reverend
censor without gloves: Mr.. Stuart Robson,
who knows something himself about
| clergymen, talks seriously. although a
! funny comedian. and the ladies are not
backward in coming forward, for Clara
| Morris has had her say, and the bright
little Lolita fairly sparkles with wit and
wisdom in her neat reply. Among other
things, Mr.. Talmadge said he ''knew
young man who attended the play of
Macbeth for thirty nights, and who gave
| up church attendance, his Bible and
prayer" For this the Philadelphia Bul!e-
tin says:
There is something wrong in this state
ment. We believe that it is perfectly safe
to say that never, since the eye Of Chris
TOPPER Columbus first rested on the shores
of the New World, has the play Of ''Mac-
beth" been given thirty consecutive times
| in any theatre in this country, or even thir-
ty times in any one city during single
season. Thus we are compelled to conclude
either that Mr.. Talmage has drawn this
story wholly from his imagination or that
he has been imposed upon by a sinful
young man. In the former case Mr.. Tai
mage is not precisely proper person to
preach against theatres. and in the latter
case the depraved young raaa probably
gave up reading the Bible and praying be-
cause he did not like to give up lying, and
he could not carry on the practice comfort
ably while religious exercises kept his con-
science in a sensitive condition. The fact
is, in short that Mr.. Talmage has neither
brains enough nor information enough to
enable him to accomplish anything in the
crusade that he has begun.
In this connection it is proper to say
lA4"C IAC OCtlS1 Cldoo Va pCotAC Ad'S Al d1b
cities been in favor Of closing theatres on
Sunday nights, though a young might do
worse than visit playhouse. In this big
world there should be room enough for
both churches and theatres, and it is pos
sible for men with very good hearts to
support both. Christ blesses the liberal |
worshiper at the Little Church around |
the Corner as readily as he does those |
who bend the knee in the shadow of the |
great steeple. Theatres are not too at
tractive, but they fill void in the relax
ing moments Of busy lite. Religion |
could be made to do this as we'll, and |
actors would in turn visit churches, and |
become better for it, for none are too |
good. Sweet music from organ and choir,
and golden words, not harsh ones, from
the pulpit, would make churches more at
tractive. Let preachers and players COM
promise, and not attempt 70 turn each
other out Of Office by unfair means.

POLITICAL COURTESY.

The Gallo organ thus notices the
respectful presentation Of protest by
Hon. John Ray, on behalf of the Republi-
can contestants before the Returning
Board:
This man neither recOils from the enor-
nifty of the thing proposed BY him, For
before the impudence of the part which he
has consented to play.
These personally offensive terms are
applied to a counselor who has the same
right under which other counsel, on the
other side, have presented arguments in
favor Of the interests confded to them.
There is certain decorum to be pursued
in the treatment Of all political ADVERSE
ries, and this has been grossly violated.
After this abusive prologue the Gallo
organ gives us small flash of petroleum,
claiming that the vote of forty-one
thousand people must have been properly
cast. 1t boasts that the conquerors-
Will hold themselves ready, in every
event, to compel respect to the will Of the
| majority.
These are dangerous teachings of which
the result is not yet. The present divi-
sion Of the people of Louisiana is no more
permanent than it has been heretofore.
Future elections will furnish other issues,
and the principle Of armed compulsion
may have more formidable consequences.
The American people are rarely beaten
twice on the same issues.
If in the next and new issues. which
are probable, the armed force of the past
election shall be better divided we may
apprehend even more serious conflicts
than those of the fourteenth of September
last. That the conglomeration which has
carried the city will slack like lump of
lime under the disintegrating influence OF
political disappointment will be made
manifest long before Christmas.
The only cement which has bound TO-
gether such incongruous elements is the
honest desire of civil reform, the san
guine hope Of industrial prosperity, and
the venal greed Of Office at any price and
from any hands.
This attraction must weaken. This
cohesion lose it's bond. When, therefore,
the White League dissolves and its ele-
ments enter into new political combina-
tons, they will carry their muskets with
them. and thus carry again the ballot on
the bayonet. A canvass then will be
campaign: there will be series of COM
bats, and they will eliminate in
grand battles at the polls. Such
must be the consequence Of the doctrine
that elections must be awarded to the |
party most powerful in arms. 1t is new
doctrine in America, and this copy from !
French politics may not impossibly be |
denounced in the future with as much
bitterness by the Gallo organ as that
with which it now assails the character of |
political opponent, or recommends that
voters shall stand by their guns so that |
if the lawful authorities do not report the
tickle: for which they voted
Then twice ten thousand armed men

A POLITICAL AMULET.

The following is one Of scores Of cards
We have observed in our country ex-
changes since the election. al worded to
the same effect, and published for a self
evident purpose. It is clear that Mr..
Sole has been outraged. His character
has been assailed. A charge has been
laid to his door which he is forced to
deny. Had he been called horse thief,
or wha. in Louisiana is almos. as bad. o
murderer, we doubt if he would have
been SO stung to the quick as be was when
somebody called him Radical. He lives
in a community which is severe in its dis.
tinctions. He performs great deal of
manual labor and perhaps spends some
money to avert the perils OF that commu-
nity's displeasure. We pity him and will
aid him by giving his card the benefit of
our circulation:
