DEPRAVITY IN ADJUSTMENTS.

Solomon was accounted wise man: he
was given that credit on very small CAP
ital. After running the gamut of youth
full follies and vices of old age, and be-
coming incapacitated for rolling the sweet
morsel of sin under his tongue he de-
clared everything belonging to the world
as 'vanity Of vanities." The world is
full of Solomons. They have been to the
low theatres of Baronne Street, and, be-
coming satiated with the show, want it
suppressed. One paper calls upon the
Mayor to suppress a certain exhibition,
and says he can "easily procure a posse
to effect the work. The zeal is COM
mendable, perhaps, but New Orleans
has seen enough of vigilance posses.
Let all persons be dealt with as
the law directs. 1t is not easy to put
down immoral exhibitions and kindred
evils when the masses want them con-
tinued and pay for their support. In the
patronage lies the shame. On Saturday
evening highly intelligent actor played
Hamlet at the Academy of Music before
an audience of less than fifty people. The
Globe Theatre on the same evening was
not large enough to hold all who thronged
to see the questionable exhibition upon
its stage. Ask the ungodly old and young
men in our streets who is to blame for |
such state Of things? And just at this
too, the case is all the more sad |

OUR STREETS,

If the chief of the Department of I'M
provements was in the city it would not
be hard to convince him Of the deplorable
and unsafe condition of our streets; of
the necessity Of his immediate attention
to the mending and improving of the
same so that it would be safe for the COM
mon carriers of our city to pursue their
labors; safe for man and horse to travel
our thoroughfares without breaking their
legs or getting up to their necks in mud.
Calliope street, the great thoroug hfare
between the jackson railroad depot,
the river and the heart Of the
city, is truly in ga dangerous con-
dition. 1t will be recollected that
this is plank road from the depot to
Carondelet street. When first laid down
it made an excellent road-the plank
being of the heaviest kind, but time and
hard service has so damaged it that it is
now a most dangerous channel for milk
carts, cotton floats and other vehicles to
navigate. 1t stands, like many other
streets in our fair city, sadly in need of
while the chief OF the Improve
nent Department IS away in Washington
to mend the political for
tunes Of his party. If this should meet
be eye Of administrator Burke, it is pos

pinch AND MAC.U

Certain Of our contemporaries mistake
abuse for argument. Distrusting their
own ability to convince. they prepare the
mind Of their followers to accept propo-
sition by exciting a prejudice which can
not allow any authority to controvert the
proposition. This is confession of
weakness. Really able minds prefer to
encounter argument. The great reformers
otthe world employed the agency of truth
and reason. They would have scorned to
accept the aid of defamation or sophistry.
Besides this virtual admission of inability
the Democratic press evinces disrespect
for popular intelligence. II is afraid to
trust its logic or its evidence before the
people, unless the people have been first
taught to believe all that the DemocSa
press asserts, ana to disbelieve everything
that the Republican press may reply.
Among the hundred weapons welded
by the Democratic press is the continuous
attack upon the colored race, in every DO
litical capacity whether as voters or rep

A PORTION OF OUR CITY INUNDATED

A PORTION OF OUR CITY INUNDATED
We lean from a number of citizens
living in the rear part of the Fourth Dis
trict that in consequence of the we're
heavy rains that have recently taken placy
here and the neglect of persons having
charge of our draining machines large
portion Of that part of our city known as
the Garden District is now suffering
from foundation of a most ruinous and
inconver'ent character. It is asserted
that neither the Carrollton nor Melpo-
meme street draining machine was work.
ing on Sunday, and the consequence is
that the rear pant Of the city from Magno-
liza street, New basin, to Carrollton is
under water-in some places as much as
three feet. Mr.. Davis, who is property
holder and the agent of a good deal of
property in that district, says that some
Of his houses, located on First and
Claiborne streets, can only be reached
by boats. Now, if this condition of
affairs has been allowed to come upon the
people that inhabit that portion of our
city, composed as they are in the main,
Of our industrial classes, through the
neglect of city officials whose duty it is to
look after the draining machines, and, if
possible, prevent overfows, it is but right
that it should be known in order that the
responsibility may rest where it properly
belongs. 1t is the duty of the City Sur
veyor to see that the draining machines
are always in order and prepared in times
like these, when heavy and long continued |
rains are upon us, to drain off the water |
that accumulates in the rear of our city.
If he neglects to do this he subjects the |
people there, or at least that portion of |
them who live in the district where the
draining machines have not been kept
working, to inundation, and that leads not
only to depreciation of property, but
often to sickness and hardships that are
hard to bear when they can not
be avoided 1t is understood that
he want of coal was the rea-
son why the Carrollton draining ma
chine was not at work on Sunday. But
his is no good excuse why the thousands
Of honest and Industrious people who live
n the rear Of our city should have their

troyed, and their health imperiled
They, as a general thing, are of class
hat pay their taxes, and they are entitled

ore, feels bound to heed their complaints
nd aid, if possible, in redressing their

7ay to do this than to call the attention
our city fathers to the grievances in
uestion, it is to be hoped they will not
lisconstrue our motives and charge US

Will crafty their tastes in spite of bayo-
nets. The disgrace of all is with the
people, and the remedy is with them
also. Let them stay away from such ex-
hibitions. The tempted are as much
better than the tempters as Eve was bet
ter than the snake. The poor painted
and padded wretch who degrades her sex
and humanity by performing antics on
stage for the delectation of beastly men
is of nobler nature than the men who
feast on and applaud the exhibition. The
one accepts the situation, and against her
taste performs for money; the other sus-
tains and is led to the performance by
inclination, for his small souls delight.
The performers at such a theatre might
be locked up; a ''posse' might raid on
the place without law or warrant; but
those acts would not wash the
filth out of the hearts Of men
who spend their time and money
IN such amusements. A better remedy
would be to appeal to the respectable
owner OF the building, or for decent men
to quit the society of men, not so decent,
who are shameless enough to frequent
theatres Of indecent exhibition.
