..LADIES'' AND ..GENTLEMEy. :,

Lady and its corresponding "gentle
man. may, because Of this adjective force
which inheres in them, appropriately be
used as predicates, provided they stand
alone. But for the same reason it is utterly
inappropriate to use them as predicates, OF
in any other form, with an adj Elective attached.
The rule is not optional, but one which good
sense and cultivated usage have combined 10
fix with iron strictness. The highest breed
ing we know, tends always to approach the
utmost simplicity, both in manner and in Ian
guage, and prefers such wholesome, downright
terms as man, woman, girl, to any affected
substitute. Severe as it may seem, any viola
ton of rule we have limited at, casts a shade
OF suspicion on the education and antecedents
OF the culprit. When our neighbor at the
hotel table describes guest opposite as "a
very intelligent gentleman, or "a charming
young lady, he does no more, it is true, than
is common enough among numberless worthy
and amiable people, but he is wrong, for all
that. The taste of a sensitive hearer easily
takes offense at such slight matter, and the
sin against style is apt to create prejudice
in regard to more essential things.

1T GETS ANOTHER BLOW.

Our readers will doubtless remember GU
exposure of the Merchants Insurance Com
pany OF Carondelt street, last July. W.
thought that our expose was sufficient to war;
all persons from further business with the
concern, but now it turns up that the men
connected with it have been Quietly at work
and they have again brought storm about
their heads. Mr.. L. Legrand has made the
following affidavit before Magistrate Staes, to
the following effect:
That on the 18th of December, 1874. or
thereabouts, in the Second District of New
Orleans, one S. Solomon did, by false pre-
tense, obtain from deponent the sum of $40
in currency, with intent to defraud deponent
thereof, said S. Solomon falsely representing
himself as an agent of the Merchants Mutual
Insurance Company, on Canal street, and de-
livered unto deponent policy of insurance
to be issued by the Merchants
Mutual Insurance Company, for the sum of
one thousand $4,000 dollars on deponents
stock and movables, the said Merchants Fire
Insurance Company being, as deponent is
and verify believes an irrespons-
Die and sham company, contrary to law.

FOUL PLAY.
A Murdered Man Found Floating in the
River.

At $50 A. NJ. yesterday the body of an
unknown white man was found floating in the
river opposite the Sedgwick Hospital, Green
vile.
The deceased was about 80 years of age had
a sandy moustache and goatee, about five feet
eight inches in height, and wore dark clothes.
He has evidently been foully dealt with, as
marks OF violence are visible on his body. 1t
seems that he had been murdered last night
and thrown into the river. There is a small
pool of blood on the bank of the river, a
short distance from where the body was
found.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY
IMPEACHMENT AND STOP
PAGE OF SUPPLIES.

The Hon. Reverdy johnson, in his power
| full speech, says; elf the existing wrong il
persevered in, there are three remedies which
Congress may adopt" First, by recognizing
the army. 1t is not possible to procure the
passage of such bill by the present Con.
gress, unless the prominent leaders of the
Republican party, from sense of duty to
principle and to the Constitution, will unite
in the support of such a bill.
Second, by stopping the supplies. This
suggestion may not succeed this session, as
the House of Representatives is too largely
Republican. But in the next Congress, with
a good working Democratic majority, the
supplies could be cut OFF.
The third is the impeachment of the
President.
1t is not probable that the present House
would recommend that. But the next House
has the power to impeach On this subject
Reverdy Johnson said: 1t is no objection to
this last remedy, as far as the Presidential
Office is concerned, that if proved unavailing
III the case of President Johnson | think |
may say with positive certainty that if
President Johnson had used the army or
sanctioned its use, in ejecting from the halls
of the Legislature Of State any of its mem
bers, as has been done in this instance, that
act would have been made the subject of one
Of the articles Of impeachment, and if proven
every member of the Senate would have found
him guilty.
1t is well to put in view these recommenda-
tons. 1t is well to press them all. 1t is we'll
to agitate and to arouse the public to the great
danger of the overthrow Of our institutions.
If relief is not granted to us this winter,
then we must wait until the next Congress as
sembles and then the House. if nothing else
IS done, can cut off the supplies for the army
md navy, land by this method prevent further
Interference OF armed force in the domestic !
md political affairs of State. We urge |
some OF our friends in Congress to press each |
md every recommendation Of the Hon.
Reverdy Johnson. If they meet with no sue
less they will at least arouse the public mind,
md agitation and discussion will 5force the
lext Congress to adopt one or all OF the meas
Tres indicated.

The convention was opened by Presiden

An amendment to the constitution chang

passed unanimously.
The amendment provides that after can
didate has been rejected by consent of two
thirds of those present the vote may be

had been rejected he was not; eligible for
membership until six months had transpired.
A resolution of Mr.. Lazard Kahn, request
ing the President of the Order, Mr.. julius
Bein, Of New York, to decide all questions of
| by the Committee on Laws, was taken up
| and the report Of the committee sustained.
The Committee on Laws submitted some
proposed changes in the endowment law and
limiting candidates for membership to fifty
years of age. AS the law now stands, in
dividual lodges have their own legislation
in the matter and at discretion can accept
members up to sixty years of age
This is considered unjust to sister lodges
as $1,000 paid to the family Of deceased
member, and the payment of the money de-
wolves equally upon ali of the lodges. These
changes were argued at length by Messrs.
Lazard Kahn, jacob, Strauss and Moses,
and were finally unanimously adopted

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.

In that bitter Radical sheet, SO inappropri
sately called the st. Louis Democrat, We find
dispatch dated New Orleans, January 10th
in which, after long TRADE of abuse agains
Messrs Foster, Phelps and Pott r, we fin.
the following announcement:
Republicans are preparing tor the full com
mittee, and if allowed will present such al
array Of witnesses as will convict the sub
conn ittee and silence Democratic clamor
Troops may have to be sent into some par
shes to escort Republican witnesses, who
before were not allowed to pass the lines
pcketed by White Leaguers. The Leaguers
who participated in the l4th Of September
massacre III this city will be called by Repub-
licans and if they admit they fired shot,
will be arrested on their own admissions and
tried. If this is done, the 25OO participants
will raise storm, for such arrests would not
be quietly endured. These men are guilty OF
murder, and Republicans will take the
offensive, aud try to have them punished.
We cannot pretend to decide whether this
is the Paclard-kellogg programme, or
whether the whole thing originates from the
inventive brain Of the Democrats New Or
leans correspondent; but in view OF the I'M
disguised purpose of Truthful Phil to
kick up row of some kind in this city, we
are very much inclined to believe that this
nice little plot to goad the White Leaguers in
to some acts which might be paraded by the
Shenandoah rider as a confirmati on of his
"banditi dispatch has really been suggest
ed to that INSCRIPTIONS warrior by the Mephis-
tophelian Packard, or the oleaginous Kel-
logg.
Should any Of our friends who took part in
the events of the 14th of September last be
summoned before Messrs. Hoar, Frye and
Wheeler, it may not be altogether useless to
remind them that no man can be compelled
to make any answer which might be used
against him. Although it can be easily proven |
before any honest tribunal or jury that on |
that occasion the citizens who repealed the
attack of the Metropolitan police were clearly
acting in self-defense, that is no reason why
they should play into the hands of Packard,
Kellogg and Sheridan, by making admissions
which might furnish the pretext for their I'M
lawful arrest by Grants military satrap. To
be forewarned is to be forearmed.
