to Fred, the colored hOstler attached to

accompany him to a certain house of bad

the remark that he did not follow that bust

went off together. After proceeding a
short distance, in a certain locality, the
negro companion of George began TO

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Through the exertions of Messrs. Marie,
of Terrebonne, chairman of the Committee
on Public Printlng;' Drury, of Assumption,
and Demas, of St. John the Baptist, one OF
the most crying abuses Of the old regime
has at last been radically eradicated. The
bill, which passed the House yesterday, and
of the passage of which by the Senate and
signature by the Governor there can be no
doubt, was introduced by Hon. Henry
Demas and amended by the Committee on
Printing.
The bill prohibits the printing of acts
and legislative proceedings in other papers
than the official journal of the State, and
thus, while giving Republican country
papers all legitimate support. saves to the
State a snug sum Of say $250, 900 per annum.
In connection with this we may mention
that the energetic efforts Of Hon. Frederick
Marie, the Nestor Of the House Of Repre-.
sentatives, having been member with but
one interruption since 1864, have been ex-
ercieed in more directions than one since
the commencement of this session, and that
while he is one Of the most quiet and I'M
obtrusive of legislators, he truly exemplifes
the proverb that still waters are the deep

overpraised, it was believed she must have

glowing accounts Of her appearance in this
country; but her voice was surprise to
musical circles, and in wonder they called
it phenomenal. To the greatest natural
abilities she has added most careful culture,

certs to be given here she will be assisted
by able artists, already known here.

ROOM FOR DoUBr.-There is some reason
to believe that several of the recently re-
ported burglaries are exaggerations, if not
been satisfactorily learned that certain
burglary was not burglary, but that a
member of the family was the culprit. In
almost every instance the amount of goods
Or money stolen is greatly magnified on
first representation. but when detectives
examine the case they find that what had
been put down at thousands could not be
made to reach hundreds even with a liberal
allowance. Reports have been made of
burglaries when there was no foundation in
fact for such statements.

Mr.. Donaldson. The fact that the police
were not notified is a mystery.
