Is it for ECONOMY or Political Effect.
NEW ORLEANS, January %, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
The Bulletin of this date gives notice that
our annual carnival sports will not take
place, owing to ''our political misfortunes
and commercial depression" While admir-.
ing the economy which will perhaps enable
some of our Democratic friends to pay their
debts before indulging in the extravagance
incident to "ye Mystic Krewe" and "Rex,"
yet venture to assert had our merchants
spent less during tho past year in arming
and sustaining White League organizations
they would feel less depletion of pocket, as
it is we'll known that they have been heavily
taxed
Still the true reason is not set forth in the
above announcement after all, viz: That q
few disappointed political leaders desire to
make our Northern friends believe their
false representations. Poverty" "oppres-
sion," forsooth! A subterfuge worthy the
White League, for we do not forget the
money expended during the recent visit Of
the Knights Templar. Surely the elegant
costumes, costly to magnifcence, deemed
worthy OF recording in the daily papers,
would serve again even for the r. cherche
Krewe. Perchance dim perception that
they did not quite capture the Northern
sympathy by a lavish display Of hospitality
and Indifference to expense during the
Templars' stay as they did the recent con-
gressional conmittee by excessive hospi-
tality, has led to this change of tactics.
Let us have the truth, dear Comus; do not
assume a virtue and have it not for the sake
of a little cheap political capital.

AmuseMeuts.

In spite of the croakers and the attempts
OF many to represent this city as in state
of star walton and business depression, the
different theatres are all doing well, and are
nightly filed with happy and delighted
people.
At the st. Charles Theatre "Humpty
Dumpty" has taken new lease of life, and
Tony Denier and his strong troupe of pam
tomimic and specially artists unite to drive
melancholy away. No young man can ex-
pect to rival George L. Fox in facial ex-
pression-for Fox was born to play clown,
and his homely face is his fortune-but De.
nier is younger man, and what he lacks
in approaching his master with grimace, he
makes up in activity and gyrnnastic feats
For the little folks a'Humpty Dumpty"
matinee extraordinary will be given at the
st. Charles on Wednesday.
At the Varieties Theatre last night Mr.
Lawrence Barrett played Cassius in Julius
Caesar" as only he can play it. He is per
sonally fitted for the part, and he has
studied and mastered it's peculiarities,
suiting the action to the word. His repre-
sentation of Cassists, then, was satisfac-
ton to the eye and an intellectual pleasure
and the audience left y impressed, for
Mr.. Barrett, recognizing the fitness of
things, did not attempt to recite the
oration set down for Marc antony. Why
should he ever do such thing here's New
Orleans is not country village, to be
satisfied with Innovations such as would
not be acceptable at Booths Theatre in
New York. besides his appearance for few
moments as Antony dispels the illusion and
the perfect personality of the actor .s
Cassius, and, therefore, he should not do it.
Tonight Mr.. Barrett will play Eliot Gray
in "Rosedale."

A Few Leading Questions from Major
Howell.
NEW ORLEANS, January 25. 1875.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
In the New Orleans Times of last Sunday
noticed letter from Mr.. L. j. Highly ad.
vocating surrender to Captain Eads and his
cities. Mr.. Highly has large interests at
stake in New Orleans that will be worthless
unless with government aid an adequate
outlet to the port may be shortly secured.
tie is, therefore, q represent tative man who
has right to speak for himself. If others
equally interested do not speak it will be
presumed that they are of his opinion. If
he truly reflects the ideas Of this business
community as regards the subject of an
outlet, those engineers who have been
fighting for the canal must withdraw from
the line of battle and wait for time to
justify their opinions. Do the people of
New Orleans want this donel
As the discussion now stands the opinion
OF engineers who have spoken is about
equally divided. One side maintains that
jetties may prove applicable at the passes
OF the Mississippi, and therefore should be
tried as an experiment. The other side
reports that they are not applicable, and
that the canal offers certain outlet
No one doubts the praoticability and
value Of the canal. Then why not support
that which is certainf
Can the commerce of New Orleans afford
to wait, for years, the result Of an expert
nent when it has an acknowledged Ger
tainty as substituted Can it, under tho
circumstances, be bullied into surrender to
scheme which many believe has been
conceived and forced on Congress in the
interest Of the great Northeastern and
Western railroads and the St. Louis Bridge
Company as opposed to q gulf route afford
ing cheaper transportation to and from the
seat
If the jetties fail, as many good engineers
think they will, after years spent in expert
ment, how much will New Orleans have
advancedl Will the canal then be con-
structed or will some other adventurer, with
another experiment, impose upon the people
and give the enterprising rivals of New
Orleans another series of years in which to
build up and consolidate their interests9
No business can be built up while the
jetty experiment is in progress. for there
can be no confidence in it's attainment of
adequate results. If the canal should be
assured to-day, business men could at once
commence their preparations for utilizing it
on the day of it's completion.
New Orleans must shortly decide whether
she will fight this jetty scheme at the risk
Of getting neither jetty nor canal for the
present, or put up with an experiment that,
once saddled on her commerce, may ride it
for an indefinite number of years.

Death of C.. X. Fox.

Mr.. Charles Kemble Fox. who died at
New York last week, was born in Boston,
in 1888. He made his first appearance at
the old Eagle Theatre in that city when
child of six years of age. He was gene
raj comedian, and for many years acted in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" with his sister, Mrs.
G. c. Howard, the only Topsy. When Nj.
George l.. Fox produced his "Humpty
Dumpty" pantomime in New York, March
10, 1868, his brother Charles was the Punta-
loon, and the dead actor has ever since
been receiving blows, getting falls and
making laughter as the American Pantaloon
The success of the Foxes was something
wonderful. 1t came upon them after years
of hard work. In the year $40 Pantaloon
Fox travelled with Tony Denier, who is now
at the st. Charles Theatre. After that
season he rejoined his brother, and the two
have since been together. He appeared in
public but few times after their late en-.
gagement at the Academy of Music in this
city, being obliged to return to his home in
New York on account Of sickness Mr.. C..
X. Fox was once married to Marry Hewins
Burnham, retired actress, and at present
lecturer and correspondent of the St. Louis
Republican. He was also married to Kate
Denin, one of the Denim Sisters, who sepa-
rated from him. The telegraph informs Us
that his funeral was largely attended BY
the theatrical profession on Saturday last

Look Out for Galveston.

In substantiation of an article published
in the REPUBLICAN Sunday morning, warn
ing the merchants of New Orleans that
unless they pad less attention to politics
and more to business Galveston was going
to take entire possession of the trans
Mississippi trade, we viii state that on tho
eighteenth instant an important meeting OF
the business men and citizens Of Kansas
City was held. At that meeting a preamble
and resolution were adopted, setting forth
that 1.-THE entire Missouri valley, Western
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Western Missouri,
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas are
directly interested in having the hsrbor of
Galveston improved, so that the largest sea-
going vessels can have safe ingress and
egress therein and further, "that there
are now measures before Congress
looking to the improvement of Gal
weston harbor by the general gov
ernment." and calling upon the Legis-
lature of the States mentioned to adopt re-
solutions requesting their representatives in
Congress to use their efforts and influence
to secure the desired improvement, and
asking the press of the entire country to
interest itself in the same behalf. Coupled
with this is a request for legislation in re-
gard to Indian Territory. But the main
point is the interest taken in Galveston. If
Mr.. Eads succeeds in stopping up the
mouth Of the river with his ietties as effec-
tua,ly as he has cut the river in two by his
bridge at St. Louis, New Orleans may see
the time when cotton will avoid her de-
serted presses and pickeries, and 60 to
Galveston, to be shipped thence by deep
draft vessels for Europe, as it now passes
through Mobile on its way to the Crescent
City. 1t is about time that this matter was
receiving some attention.
