RUSHING $4,000 WORTH OF SILK.-Dur-
ing Thursday night cab No 81. with one
occupant, the driver, stopped on Canal
street, not far from Danziger e. Sons store.
Two men immediately afterward got into
the cab and drove Oft slowly. The opera
ton was noticed by private watchman
Mcintyre, which aroused his suspicion so
much that he obtained cab and followed.
The strangers had not gone many squares
before the two men jumped out and the
cab went on to Poydras Market, where
Mcintyre Overhauled il. assisted by Officer
McEntee and others. 1t was then discOv-
sred that the vehicle contained several
bundles of valuable silks and velvets. which
had been stolen from Danzigers store.
Having taken care of the cab, contents
and driver, the officers started on search for
the two men who had been seen. Gong
down Rampant street, Mcintyre saw the
men travelling toward the market. Chase
was given. McEntee arresting one of
inc fellows and Mcintyre following
the other, but without meeting with
success. Seeing that he could not
capture his man, MCINTYRE returned
TO find McEntee and the prisoner. He
found McEntee insensible on the railroad
track, having been knocked down by his
prisoner with q jimmy, which weapon was
beside him. McEntee quickly recovered,
but then it was too late for to find the vii
lains However. the officers did good SER
vice in recovering the goods and capturing
the driver, who says his name is Abraham
White. The burglars had effected an en-
trance into the store by the rear, and must
have been tOlerably we'll acquainted with
the premises. Last evening Mat Hogan
was arrested on suspicion that ne was iln-
plicated in the affair."

The aIardi Gras Festivities.

Tne Nlar01 tsfaS FeSt1v1tle0s
The papers in some Of the rural towns MP
the country. notably those Of Memphis and
Atlanta. are trying to create the impression
that in consequence Of our little political
difficulties the citizens Of the Crescent City
are going to foreso their annual Mardl Gras
carnival. The object Of these papers Is
probably to attract a few Northern visitors
to their quiet country places, to witness the
side shows and imitation of our Mardi Gras
festivities which we notice have been given
BY them for q year or two back. The i'm.
preston which they seek to Greats with
regard TO New Orleans is absolutely uno
founded. It matters not who be Governor OF
Louisiana or Speaker Of the House. the
people of this city are going to have their
annual spree on Mardi Gras, and they will

Next week he will issue his proclamation to

authority that his Majesty King Rex has OF

Political GOSSIP.


case caused little gossip, and we'll it
might, rs the subject was brought into such
prominent notice. Radical Democrats pre-
tended to scout the idea that any one had
attempted to buy off a Radical Republican,
but the attempt was gauzy. Mr.. J. H.
Levy, charged with having made an effort,
by promise of money, to induce two mem
bers of the Legislature to make themselves
scarce, was arraigned before Judge Staes
yesterday, when the case was continued to
date not mentioned. The complainants
are Milton Jones and Henry Demas. The
latter swears that he was offered $1,000, and
Mr.. Jones states that one-half that sum was
promised him if he would travel into
oblivion. Neither of these gentlemen saw
fit to accept the bride.
Last October, the gentlemen who now
occupy comfortable seats in the City Hall,
dived deep into the mysterious ways Of
politics, taking active parts in the cam
paign, but to-day they shake all RESPONSE
bility in that direction. Most of the red
het strikers who assisted in the last election
have given up nearly every hope Of reward,
that is. obtaining fat municipal places as
recOmpense for services rendered. There
has been considerable bowling, but the
Administrators seem to have survived the
punishment.
Some members of the Radical Democratic
Legislature" are closely watched, for fear
that they might be induced to prove true to
the interests of their constituents and join
the regular Assembly. Indeed, there are
rumors that several of the "0uts" are not
the genuine body. Two or three Of tho dis
affected have been taken in hand and so
generously feasted that it will be difficult
for them to change.
The news as published in the REPUBLICAN
yesterday morning that the original con-
gressional committee would soon leave
Washington for New Orleans was more
than the Conservatives bargained for. The
first thing done was for leaders to hunt up
witnesses and cook testimony. Already
have been sent forth for men who
never knew of intimidation, but it is not
likely that the editor of the Shreveport
Times will be sent for by bis party, as he
has already advocated the killing of sundry
reported as elected by the Re.
turning Board.
There was decided apathy in Conserva.
i've ranks yesterday, and but little hopes
hat they would revive soon. The news
which came from Washington last evening
and night did not set we'll on Conservative
and when the leaders read to-
lays newspapers there will be still less
'ause for rejoicing.
A dispatch was received BY Governor
Kellogg yesterday from Attorney General
field, stating that the full congressional
committee would leave Washington Sun.
lay. The Attorney General will accompany
hem.

when in latitude 19o 16', longitude $40 81 all on board

minutes. During this time there heavy sea run

turbance fret began the was quite smooth,
but as the shock increased In violence the
waters became correspOndingly agtated, terrifying
those who were on deck and arousDg those who were

she had grounded and peculiar rmbng noise filed the

hazy During the continuance OF the shock, control OF
the vessel completely lost and the ship refused to
obey the helm. There little If any, wind at the

Minister of Justice, Prvy Councillor Butcher. Polit-
ical Secretary to Prince Bismarck, DR.. Kapp, and
Prof. Dernburg. Dr. Joseph Thompson presided,
and Mr. Fay. late our Minister to Switzerland, and
Prof Whitney, were among the eminent Americans
present. We are told. somewhat engmatically,
that Gen. Schurz in his English response to atoast,
dwelt upon his political activity, and in German
speech endeavOred to cement the ties between Ger
many and America. 1t may safely be said that his
speeches deserve less commonplace and more de-
tailed description than that. The Standard dispatch
gives slightly fuller account.
The speeches turned upon the double nationality OF
Scburz as law-breaker in Prussia and lawmaker in
America with humorous illusions to the altered crcum
stances which have made the Outcast Of 1850 an hon

glory alike by Germany and America The illusions TO
