HO, FOR TIE RACES!

The prospect for the races, both as tc
weather and sport, are SO brilliant that quite
an unusual stir has been created among ladies
and gentlemen in reference to the manner o.
going out to the course during the meeting
In England half the fun Of the races consists
in the jolly rides, in all sorts of vehicles, to
and from the track. Everybody there takes
the deepest interest in the delightful and
glorious sport, and royalty itself lends the
sanction of its presence Let our ladies and
gentlemen therefore be forming parties and
making arrangements for attending the CON-
ing spring meeting over the Louisiana Jockey
Club Course. Those who can't afford to pay
for carriages can join funds and hire omni-
buses, and those who fancy more quiet and
more economical means Of conveyance can
take either the Orleans or the Bayou Road
street cars, both OF which run almost to the
entrance Of the course. We have had gloom
and sadness enough; let us now have season
of fun. Life is too short to sigh it away; let
as laugh and be merry.

A PLEASANT TINE IN PROSPECT.

On Tuesday evening, March 80, 1875 at
Grunewald Hall, will occur one of those
pleasant and recherche entertainments which
occasionally vary the routine of our city
amusements. The ladies of st. Georges
Church propose to give concert in aid of
their church. In addition to the concert
there will be series of tableaux under the
personal supervision of our tasteful friend
DR.. J. G. Angel, whose efforts on such occa-
sions are always characterized by artistic
elegance and chaste design. For the delec-
tation of those fond of the art terpsichorean
a fine band will be in attendance, prepared to
discourse the latest gems of Strauss. By no
means the smallest part of the entertainment
will be handsome supper. Just think of it ,
q concert, tableaux, supper and dance all
ready to minister to the enjoyment of the
guests. We predict crowded auditorium
and general jolly good time.

GU BONO

Editor Of the N. 0. Bulletin:
Ii the substitutes and agents of the think
ing and deeply suffering people of Lo Uisiana
are (while in the machine where they are tc
| be harnessed) allowed to do aught for the re-
lief OF said people, they can legi late to
avoid the peril of enforcing the payment at
once of all back and current taxes.
If the back taxes be not remitted-as per
haps they ought not to be-they should be
aggregated, and judgment taken against each
delinquent, with stay of execution for one,
two and three years, SO as to allow payment
in installments.
AS lawyer have taken several judgments
in this way, with success, in getting payment
Of the debt, while loss of part, if not all,
would have attended imme date coercion
And as to the tax of 1874, it should be re.
duced by striking out all that is not indis-
pensably necessary and the residue collected
Some delay will ensue, but it will do no harm,
while it will ensure alike prompt payment and
an avoidance of distressing the people, for it
will cause postponement till the crops come
in.
As general rule throughout the State,
those who did not, could not pay, and general
coercion of payment of all that is due on taxes
and private debts will produce widespread
ruin, will glut the market SO that no more
conventional sales can take place and will
tend much to depopulate the State.

SOME MYSTERY INVOLVED.
Discovery of a Decomposed Body.

Between / and 0 clock yesterday evening,
the dad body of an unknown white man was
found by the police in q room of the rear
building Of house No. 16S Tchoupitoulas
street, owned by Thomas Malloy. The body
was in state Of decomposition when found,
and from all appearances the deceased must
have been there for several days.
A written accommodation was found in
the table drawer standing in the room, which
would indicate that the name of the deceased
was Gustave Frederick. The paper was
signed byJ. NJ. Baldwin, ex-Captain Company
G, 2Sth Louisiana Infantry. Upon inquiry
OF the inmates as to the mans death, they
could give no information as to the time of
his death, but said that he had been there
some time and had occupied the room as
night lodger.
Further than this the whole affair seems
wrapped in profound mystery. The Coroner
held the inquest last night and returned a
verdict that deceased came to his death from
congestion of the brain.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Child Falls from a Third Story
and Is Only Slightly Injured.

About $50 o'clock yesterday Mrs. Wrenn's
little boy, Harry, three years old, while
playing in the third-story gallery of house ITO
ST. Charles street, went towards the railing OF
the gallery where one of the bars had been
broken out and putting his little body
through the railing lost his balance and fell
to the ground.
A most miraculous circumstance connected
with the accident is that the transom of the
door on the lower floor opened on hinges to-
wards the yard, aud was open and supported
by prop. In the fall the child struck the
transom held foremost breaking one of the
glasses and his head going through the pane
he was caught by his shoulders and there
hung for a few moments, when the traQsom
not being strong enough to bear the weight
broke, and the child and transom came with
heavy thud to the ground.
The little fellows sister, hearing the fall,
ran into the yard, and there found her bro
Their lying on the ground insensible, with his
head through the transom and his little face
cut somewhat by the glass. The little fellow
was taken into the house, when it was found
that his body was much bruised by the fall.
The family physician was sent for, who pro-
nounced his injuries not dangerous. The
distance from the gallery to the ground is
some fifty feet AT last accounts the child
was doing well. This is one of thtsbost
miraculous escapes from death that has bkn
heard of for some time ~

POLITICAL On DIT.
Tn. General ArprOpriatien Bill.

The faithful are getting rather anxiou
about that General Appropriation bill AL
she little differences are settled and the faith
fai think that Kellogg should do his part ant
sign it. They say he has made many promises
which he has never kept, and they have
suspicion that Kellogg intends to play the
sirtuous, do the right thing and refer it to the
any OF "this sort of thing, and they com
plain loudly and swear softly.
There is no telling how the little disturbance
III the camp will end.
Work Ahead.
Now that the extra session is a surety il
appears to us proper time to call the atten-
ton Of our City Fathers to the fact that this
rs the opportunity for them to prepare those
bills that are nee essary for the better admins
tration Of our municipal affairs. No delay
should be allowed before they have already
written and digested the several bills they may
consider necessary for the ameloration of our
condition Not alone to them is this warning
given.
If We are to get anything by the compro-
mise certainly our Conservative friends ought
not to be tardy in availing themselves Of this
opportunity. Let them, while they have
time, carefully examine into the necessary
amendments needed in our laws and draw up
the several bills required to effect this much
desired result. There can be no reason for
delay, and even should their efforts prove
futile. they will have the satisfaction Of hay
ing done their duty.
Thai Riddle.
The doubts about the molus operu,dt Of as
sembling the House of Representatives still
continues There seems to be an UNUSUAL
amount Of confusion about the whole matter
and it would take Coke or Lyttleton to find
out what the end of tbs business will be. A
few days more will settle the matter however,
and this puzzle unraveled.
Quiet.
There was but little stirring on the streets
Friday morning in the way of startling devel-
opments in the political situation. Those
who are members Of the Legislature from the
Conservative side, or rather those who think
they are, for as yet one can tell, are still in
doubt over the award. Pitts silence, not
withstanding the many demands that have
been made for the publication of the COM
nitee's decision, is ominous, and we may
expect the very worst from him.

ALBANY, March 10, 1875.
Nh Dear SRI am indebted to you for
New Orleans Bulletin, containing short let
Ter from you on public affairs and the politi
cal status in louisiana.
I am obliged to you for it, and ought to
have acknowledged it before, but, what with
sickness in the family and official duties, |
have put off writing from day to day quite
too long. was glad to see you outspoken
on the subject of the cruel wrong being
perpetrated not only against your State
and the whole South, but against
good government everywhere, destructive
of all constitutional right and tending directly
to the overthrow of the Constitution itself II
the proceedings of the Federal government in
setting aside the State government in Louis
ana shall be approved, or go unrebuked, the
form of the government is already changed,
and we may as well at once change the name
and no longer claim to be constitutional or
p republican government, and accept who
ever chances to be in command of the army
and navy to be our ruler. Butt think a
brighter and better day is da wing. Better
counsels seems to prevail at the North, and
wiser and better men are coming to the front
to take the place of the demagogues and de-
structives who have too long ruled in State
and Nation.
People are beginning to reflect, and with
reflection comes the thought that after a
nominal peace Of more than ten years, hos
tilities ought to cease. Alarm begins to be felt
IN respect to the usurpations of government,
the majority begin to see that the interests
of the two sections are one and the same,
and that the prosperity of the North depends
very materially upon that of the South, and
rice eersa; that the one can not be affected in
its material interests without the other feeling
it 1t is true that some, biased by remaining
prejudices, or carried away by their interest
or ambition, affect to believe that the men Of
the South, who alone have an interest in the
sol, and whose only hopes are there, can not
i6e trusted, but must be governed by the army.
This class is growing small day BY day, and
will soon, think, be extinct

Spencer rifles, to desist. The leaders in the
conspiracy were promptly dealt with, and all
