NEw ORLEANS, Sept, %, 1875.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-Your kindness and ability have made
me ask you the favor to crack the following " Re-
publican nuts :"
l. How is it, with census showing 50,000 ma
jority, the Radicals boastlng of only &c, ,00J. and
having all elec ion control in their hands, the
ballot-box always shows the reverse according to
the returns Of election and not according to the
"honest board?n
?. III all men are equsl-morally, physically
and politicaly-that is ii any citizen or patriot is
equal TO another, how can 10000 majority be in
timdated by the minority?
3. IL these poor darkies are murdered daily by
the hundreds, how is it that the census shows
such an increase?
BY answering the above conundrums YOU will
greatly obhge one of the BASD1Tu.
These are among the intricate and incom-
prehensible puzzles which all the ingenuity
and sagscity of the Radical jugglers have
failed to successfully work out, and We sub.
NIT it to the political mathematicians among
the "trooly loil.

A RalStOnian ReyeI.

Ralston became generally known as bust
| ness man and his social life was at the same
| time matter Of comment among the people
of the slope. He was known as a man whit
set all social conventiopalities at deflnce
He lived only for w. G. Ralston, and tn:
pleasures which that individual experienced
He outraged what little there was Of decency
in the mining camp, and lived a life of almost
utter recklessness; he maintained fast women
within stones throw of his home, where
lived his wife and children. He did nothing
by piecemeaL.
circumstance which happened during his
sojourn in Virginia City will serve to illustrate
as well as could anything else the prevailing
characteristics of this strange man. John
Mccullough, the tragedian, was in the height
of his glory on the coast; he made visit to
Nevada, and had played several nights in
Virginia City to crowded houses He was q
special favorite of Ralston, Sharon and a
couple of others. He had closed his engage
ment and was ready to leave the city; his
trunks were packed and at the stage station,
ready to make their journey to Reno.
1t was in the early evening, and after bust
ness hours, when Ralston and q few others
conceived the idea that it would be capital
thing to have Mccullough play once more, SO
they sent him word that they wanted him to
appear that night in the Gladiator" John
sent back word that it was impossible; he
was prepared to 60 to San Francisco, and
could not delay his journey. This would not
do; play he must. Messengers were sent to
bring his baggage back, to light up the thea
ter, and make everything ready. The theater
was small affair, and would not seat over
seven or eight hundred people. Mccullough
saw that it would not do to refuse the men
who had been his best patrons and bankers,
and so he made ready. There was no door
keeper that night. It was free to all; but
there was man in the box-office who sold
tickets simply for show.
1t was grand blowout, gotten up by the
bank people. The receipts that night
amounted to the unprecedented figure of
S13, 200, and it was all contributed by three
or four men. most conspicuous among whom
was W. @. Ralston. The plan pursued was
for all concerned to go to the ticket Office and
buy $500 worth of tickets each, after which all
would 60 to a wine cellar and wager baske.
If wine that each one would tear his tickets
1p in the soonest time. When they had con-
,luded this game the box Office was out OF
ickets. There was Sl3, 200 in the till. Mr..
Mccullough had finished the play, the floor
vas strewn with tickets, and the whole party
vas as drunk as men can we'll get-Phia. |

| CHINESE TEMPLE.
[The Tribune.l
In the Sixth Ward is small district where
most OF the Chinese in New York live
visitor to their opium-smoking dens may gc
to Baxter street, just below Franklin street.
where was formerly Donovan's Lane, the re-
sort of the most desperate villains in the city
but which is now Y-shaped court shut in on
all sides by high tenement houses. On the
ground floor of one of these buildings is the
establishment of sold john" Chinaman "a
years old, who has been in the United States
AZ years, and was the first of his race to be-
come naturalized.
His quarters comprise three rooms. By
the door is seated his assistant who gives out
the drug. Upon one side of the room is q
| low platform or dias, sometimes there are
two, one above the other, like berths upon
which men are to be seen reclining in the diff
ferent stages of opium intoxication. The pro-
prietor furnishes his customers with pipes
and place to lie down. The drug is weighed
out upon q rude pair of reed scales. The
| weight used is a silver coin. Each smoker
is provided with small horn box, which will
contain about Is cents worth of opium
enough to last an average smoker all night
The preparation is undoubtedly adulterated,
since it costs the druggists $23 so a pound.
The pipes consist OF pam 900 stem and a
porcelain bowl about two inches in diameter,
in the center of which is the receptacle for
the opium. A small piece of the drug is
taken up on an iron rod and heated until it is
dried to proper consistency Then it is in
serted into the pipe, and the smoker slowly
draws the smoke through, soon filling the
whole room with peculiar smell.
few doors below, on the same side is
another place where smoking is carried on,
which does not differ materially from 'sOld
Johns" There is however, a temple in
connection with it. On the wall is hung o
gayly painted picture of some Chinese god,
at whose shoulder, on one side mans good
angel is represented, and on the other his
evil angel. The faces are very grotesque,
and resemble those painted on tea chests.
Hanging upon the pictures are numerous
tinsel and paper flowers. with faces
painted upon the petals and little below
the picture is shrine, upon which stand
two candles, to be lighted only upon festival
occasions. In the middle is dish contain
ing sand, in which are the burned fragments
OF numerous joss-sticks The pious Celestial
lights one of these, and, placing it in the
sand on the altar, prays to his deity. From
the ceiling hang two large Chinese lanterns,
and there is also a glass vessel con tanning
some kind of vegetable oil, in which floats
burning wick. A cup of the same oil is
placed in the shrine for the special use of the
god. Upon the walls are hung bulletin
boards where the news which agitates the
Chinese world is pasted. A curious scroll,
resembling the red cover ON pack of fire.

be directory of the places of business of the

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Laws contrary to the spirit of the State fol
which they are made lack very essential ele
ment and when made without the consent o.
the people, without their concurrence, OF
without their participation by their lawfully
chosen representatives, they are void and oi
no binding effect. Officers who shelter
themselves under the forms of laws which are
revolving to the people and which have
never had their assent are in the highest
degree criminal, and if their aggressions and
plunder can not be punished in their own
tribunals they are fit subjects for popular de-
nunciation. When such men provoke
forcible resistance they and they alone are
responsible for all the trouble that may re-
suit A tyrant is the worst Of culprits, the
worst of law-breakers, because he violates the
great fundamental law of liberty.
The school laws by which this city is op-
pressed were made without the consent of the
people, contrary to their well known wishes
by pretended legislature which had no
right in the premises, and those pretended
laws are executed by men who do not in any
respect represent the masses of our citizens.
The taking away from our city government the
control of public schools and the power to
assess, in the name Of the people, the tax
which should be paid for schools, was direct
and tyrannical violation of the rights of our
city which nothing can excuse or justify, and
which nothing could have rendered possible
here except the paramount military force of
the Federal Government under which these
and other abuses have been perpetrated.
In all our future dealings with the usurpa-
tion in all its branches we must bear in con-
slant memory that it is not our own work and
does not challenge our respect or confidence
By all the rules of Republican legislation, b
all the maxims of political right. by all the
Inherent instincts on which political liberty
is based, the school system in this city is
tyrannical fraud, and the city school tax a
swindle and robbery.
We ia the city of New Orleans are almost
exclusively concerned in this matter, and yet
we, the people of the city, can have no voice
or influence in the control of the schools for
which we ply
There are limits to patience, and times
when the suggestions of prudence are little |
less than cowardice. A people may slumber
on their rights SO long as to offer premium |
on usurpation. |
