THE THIRD TERM.

representative Of the Louisville Courier.
journal accompanied Vice President Wilson
from Louisville to jefferson Barracks last
Friday, when the question turned upon what
MI. Wilson knew about the third term. The
result is given as follows:
After concluding the question of finance,
the reporter gathered courage and attacked
the third term" question, by saying: Mr.
Wilson, the people out here believe that Gen.
Grant desires to be elected a third time. !"
The Vice President raised his eyes from q
contemplation of the great Ohio River bridge,
and in a manner which indicated that he
fully understood the reporters object, replied
lido they 2"
The reporter reiterated bis statement in
more forcible shape. The Vice President con-
tinued to admire the bridge, but said nothing
The reporter was in for it now, and growing
desperate said: ''What do you think OF it, Mr..
Wilson," Something had to happen now
he had to give an opinion or back down. The
Vice President was equal to the occasion. He
said: "Well, if the people want Gen. Grant
for third term, I guess he will be Presi-
dent" Here he paused, but after few mo-
ments said II do not think Gen. Grant will
press claim for another election"
"But do you not think he wants it, said
the reporter, to which the Vice President re-
piled. "Perhaps he does When asked if
the influence Of the officeholders would not
be very potent in the convention, he replied,
"The officeholders cannot nominate him;
they have not the influence that is commonly
ascribed to them. Suppose they are power
ful-you know that, as q rule, that class Of
men are not popular with the masses. II is
not likely that Gen. Grant will be nominated.
The people do not like the idea of thus de-
stroying historical precedents.

Miss PATTERsoNs READ1NG.-John G. SAKE,
Charles Dickens, Mrs Siddons, and others,
have long since elevated readings and reci-
tations" to the highest estimation as fine
art. This art calls for all the gifts of voice,
manners, character and mind; consequently
its chief representatives are persons OF intel
lectual and social distinction, and the fact
that they have to depend on their own powers
unaided by other characters or by scenic
effect, renders their triumph the more signal.
Our society has rarely taken as great an in
telest in any one as in the young representa-
tive of this class, pupil of Murdoch. After
an extensive and dattering tour, both North
and South, Miss Patterson will make her
New Orleans debut tomorrow evening at the
Varieties Theater.
She will be introduced by Hon. T. J..
Semmes, and appears under the auspices of a
number Of we'll known ladies and gentlemen.
The entertainment promises to be one highly
enjoyable for humor, pathos and those
touches of nature which make ''the whole
world kim

CITY TIME OF 1874.

The resolution introduced in the City Coun-
Gil on Tuesday by Administrator Brown, and
by the Council referred for consideration to
the Committee Of the Whole, is as follows:
Resolred, That all claims due by the city
Of New Orleans for current expenses for the
year 1874, which have been approved and
passed by the Council, are hereby declared to
be receivable in payment of licenses due for
the year 1875.
The effect of the adoption Of this resolu-
ton would be to increase to some extent the
market value of the adjusted claims, or
"time," of 1874. The extent of this increase
will bear some proportion to the amount Of
licenses remaining unpaid.

UNFOUEDED RUMOR.

There was considerable excitement at the
City Hall and on the streets, occasioned by q
rumor to the effect that the Administrator of
Improvements, Major E. A. Burke, had
dropped dead on the levee yesterday morning.
There is, we are most happy to state, no
foundation for this rvmor. Administrator
Burke left the City Hall yesterday in com
pany with Mr.. Brown, and if any such event
had occurred, Mr.. Brown would have at once
made it known at the City Hall, to which
place he had not, up to the time Of going to
press, returned.
The distressing rumor spread with marvel
GUS rapidity, and in short time numbers of
the Majors friends were securing the city in
search of him 1t is probable that having
left his home early in the morning, he pro-
ceeded to inspect some distant work in the
city limits, and it may be q few
hours before he can be found. We know
that up to very late hour, after midnight
last night, the Major was busy distribute
ing provisions and medicines TO those
persons who. from diligent inquiry, he had
found to be really in need of assistance. He
did not retire until after l o'clock, and was
up bright and early in the morning on tour
Of inspection. For some time the painful ru-
NOR was believed, but after the various sta
tons had been telegraphed and parties
returned unable to hear any confederation Of
the report, the belief grew almost into a GER
tainty that somebody had made mistake.
LATER.
We are more than gratiied to announce that
Major Burke returned to his home about 12:3
o'clock, safe and sound and somewhat amused
at the sad faces that greeted him everywhere.
He declares that he is worth hecatomb of
dead men yet. and is much too busy to
"shufiie off this mortal COIL"
It is quite impossible to trace the rumor
to any definite source. Somebody on Canal
street told somebody else, and that somebody
else ran into the BULLETIN office and told U.s.
and thence all the trouble

There will occur tonight at 81. Patrick's
Hall an entertainment unusually pleasant, in
asmuch as it is to consist of concert and
picturesque grouping of characters, which is
rarely witnessed at similar performances.
i" Flower Queen Cantata is quite novelty in
our city, and this, together with the merito.
rious purpose which will be served, should
attract a crowded house. Fifty young ladies
will take part in the cantata, among whom
will be heard many who are worthily ranked
among the best musicians in our city.

SHEEP FOR TEXAs.-We had the pleasure
yesterday of meeting Col. Alexander Camp
bell, prominent planter of Concordia parish,
who has just returned from visit to Brooke
county, West Virginia, where he has a
large farm. The Colonel has selected from
his flock of sheep one hundred and five rams,
mostly yearlings, of the Spanish merino breed,
which are now on the way to the Texas State
Fair, to be held next week at Houston, where
he intends to exhibit them, with their heavy
feeccs on their back, to the stock raisers Of
the Lone Star State. Several of these rams,
it is confidently asserted, will shear sixteen
pounds of wool, and the average clip of the
whole lot it is estimated, will be about ten
pounds per head. The wool 1--WE have seen
several specimens) is remarkably fine, and
presents that crimpy appearance that is SO
much desired by manufacturers of the best
quality of goods. We commend our enter
prising friend, Col. Campbell, to the kindly
notice Of our Texas friends.

REPUBLICAN CONTROL IN LOUISIANA,

Mr.. Charles Nordhoffs latest letter to the
New York Herald, concerning affairs in Loui-
| siana, is strong picture, a clear mirror of
Republic IN government in the South. In the
words of this impartial and able writer. "a
more thoroughly centralized government
France did not have under either Empire "
Louis XIV said-and who could dispute his
boast ?-'I am the State
Kellogg, of Louisiana, might have uttered
these words with equal truthtnlness. Hamlet
was never in his yn Imagination more com-
pletely pipe to be played upon than the
people of Louisiana have been in the hands
of Republican Governor. They have been
| as clay in the hands of the potter, and the
potter has been the Governor. Consider some
of the powers the Governor has exercised.
He has had the exclusive power to appoint
and remove all the officers concerned with tho
registration Of voters, the conduct of cleo
tons and the counting of votes in every par
ish in the State. Hs has appointed and re-
moved the tax collectors in the State at pleas
ure. That is to say, the public moneys and
the sufffages in every parish in Louisiana
have been in the hands of one INSCRIPTIONS
man in New Orl ans.
The Governor has had one rule for New
Orleans, where the Conservatives have large
majority, and another for the remainder of the
State. He has caused new parishes to be
formed Dy the DIVISION OF Ola ones, ana mas
appointed all the officers of the parishes thus
formed. He has multiplied offices in an un-
precedented manner. He has formed new
Judicial Districts and appointed judges from
his friends.
Officers elected failed to qualify, and the
Governor filed the pseudo vacancies with
men repudiated by the people, He so
managed affairs that the members of the
Legislature were also members of the
various School Boards, and even the school
teachers of the State have been the tools of
the usurper in New Orleans Mr.. Nordhoff
reports that he has been in villages
of from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand inhabitants, (which have not for
four or five years been allowed to put in
Office the town officers they elected, but
after each election the result was disallowed,
and the vacancies thus created were filed by
the Governor The Executive owns the Ju-
dietary, and "justice has been almost open
ly sold in the courts. He has abolished
courts where the judges were opposed to him
in politics. and appointed judges of the new
ones who would do his bidding. Cincinnati
