New ORLEANS, May 81, 1875.


Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear Sri notice in this mornings issue
of the Times an article headed SEA Sugges-
tion," which wish to heartily indorse.
have wondered much of late why some anna
teur club did not give an entertainment for
Our suffering poor, and the idea of making 1t
an opportunity of contest for the histrionic
supremacy by our different thespian associa-
tons, would, think, add greatly to the in
terest of the occasion.
think, however, it would be better to give
three performances, one by each club, and
let each choose its own play. Tickets might
be sold to the series of performances at re-
.duced rate. and much more money be made
and pleasure given to the patrons. What
think you? Can you not persuade some one
of the clubs to announce itself as ready for the
contest?
The members of the Garrick Club are
most of them among the oldest amateurs of
the city, and an announcement of readiness
would come in excellent taste from them.
Please answer through your valuable columns,
and oblige ENDoRsER.
We think such q contest would result in
great benefit to the fund of the Relief Associ-
alton, and would serve to bring forth the
most strenuous endeavors of our amateur
Thespians. We however submit the plan to
the different clubs for their approval or re.
lection.

THE SOLDIER.POLICE WAR.
A New Version.

The recent collision between several mem
bers of the 18th Infantry and member OF
the metropolitan police caused not little
excitement in some circles, but careful
examination into the facts justifes us in the
statement that the whole blame does not lie
at the door of the United States soldiery. 1t
seems that there have been repeated attacks
made by several of the police upon soldiers
when favorable opportunity offered, and
the soldiers generally got the worst of it.
At the corner of Girod and Delta streets
these scrimages have been going on for some
little time past, and it seems the climax was
reached Wednesday night.
As to the respective merits of this quarrel 1t
is difficult to obtain information, but from
what could be cleaned it is patent that what.
ever hurt the unfortunate police officer re.
ceived, it was in compensation for the brutal
treatment of United States soldier by Police
man Ryan and chum named Ford.
So far as our experience goes the conduct
of the troops here in barracks has been re-
markably peaceful and quiet, and saving in q
few instances Of here and there an exceptional
case of drunkenness, they have behaved we'll.
We give below the statement of the soldier at
CaCk0O III tu0 6AlIuloa OA OobAAuRy AA6AA
last.
On the night of the 22d inst, between thu
hours of II and / o'clock, as was quietly
passing Policeman Patrick Ryan's saloon,
Girod street. on my way home, was grossly
assaulted, knocked down and kicked by
Policeman Ryan and chum of his named
John Ford, without giving the slightest
provocation for such proceedings.
1t appears that few minutes before thu
occurrence, Policeman Ryan and John Ford
raised disturbance in saloon on Tchoupi
toulas street, from which they were elected
and having, presume, freely imbibed il
fire water during the evening, and still reek
ing with vengeance, they thought me Fl
subject to vent their spleen upon.
may add that as soon as the injuries re
ceived will permit, I intend to take actor
against such notorious aggressors of tn
peace. ROBERT PERSON

A PROBABLE SUICIDE.
Found Dead on a New Grave.

During yesterday morning as Corporal A.
Bensler, of the Suburban, was passing along
he found the body of an unknown man lying
dead on freshly made grave in the Cypress
Grove Cemetery. It is supposed that the
unfortunate creature had committed suicide
by poisoning himself, and that the newly
made grave was link in the chain of the
mysterious death.
The man was from appearance of German
birth, about thirty-fve years old, rather we'll
dressed-inen pants, gray coat and vest.
The Coroner was notified, but up to P. NJ.
yesterday had not held an inquest. A physi
clan saw the body and gave as his opinion
that the man came to his death by taking
morphine, as the body turned dark blush
color after death. No papers were found
upon the body which would lead to hi
identity.

Catholic federation.

The discussion growing out of the
Catholic demand for a portion Of the
school fund, to be used in support of theiI
sectarian schools, brought up the subject
of Catholic federation, as it related to their
denunciation of our American school sys-
tenn, and the privileges granted to Pro-
testants in Catholic countries. 1t has
been represented that many of the Church
dignitaries do not approve of the assaults
made upon free schools, Cardinal Nc.
Closkey being cited among this class; and
the fact that prominent Catholics often
act as Directors or Commissioners of
Schools has tended to raise the question
wi ether the Church really occupies the
position of antagonism to these nurseries
of universal intelligence in which few
zealots have assumed to place her. This
is subject in which a great many
Catholics have deep interest, especially
those who would like to avail themselves
of the advantages of the schools.
But circumstances have recently brought
up the question of liberation in another
form. A libel or SANDER suit is now pend
ing in Boston, brought by Robert G. Fan
ming, plaintiff Rev. James McGlew, de-
PENDANT, in which the plaintiff charges the
defendant with having DETAINED him and
his wife, on various occasions, for which
he demands satisfaction in damages at
law. Tanning, in his declaration, alleges
that he was duly married by civil mag
istrate, on the 9th of November, 1878; and
that afterwards the said McGlew, public

LAUDE MELNOTTE AS A DETECTIVE, AND
OTHER STORIES By Allan pinkerton. | vol.
limo, Cloth, Illustrated, Sl.50.. w. b. Keen,
Cooke & Co.
1t was happy thought for the pub
fishers when they conceived the idea Of
having Il series of volumes written by Al
Ian Pnkarton on the subject of Detect
ives.
There is something always fascinating
to any reader in the narrative Of any
crime and especially in the history of the
detection and capture Of the criminal, and
such works if written in a hightoncd and
elevated manner will meet with great
success.
No man in. America could be found
who has equal facilities for getting up
such series of books with Mr.. Pinkerton
He is well known as the most celebrated
Detective, and has been engaged for many
years in feTctingisout and bringing to
Justice criminals OF every class. He
also is an easy writer, and his works
though true in every particular possess
all the charms of fiction-in fact they are
moro fascinating than the most interest
ing volume of fiction we ever saw.
The scene Of this work is laid in the
Clifton House, Chicago, about 90 years
ago The boardcrs of that fashionable
resort had for long time been losing
valuablcs of all kinds cwelry, clothing,
! money, &c and after every device had
| failed to discover the perpetrator of the
theft Il committee was appointed by the
boarders to call on Mr.. Pinkerton and en-
gage his aid in the matter. He puts one
of his men in the Hotel as IA boarder first
| Disgusting him as a Count, in VIII CHI role
he proves complete success, so much
so that he captures the thief and it is
| done so quietly that the other guests of
| the house never know what had become
of him. They only know that theiI
/ stolen property is recovered. The thief
| proves to have been one of the most pop
| popular boarders at the house and his
disappearance is a cause of much wonder
and speculation.
We consider this book superior to Mr.
| Pinkerton's first venture-''The Express
man and the Dctectiven noticed in these
! columns several months since.
! These books are of an elevated tone
and there is nothing in them to offend the
most fastidous We can cordially rec
ommend them as being fascinating and
entertaining in tbp aytrann

All, IlA!

Read this bit Of descriptive scflort, and
observe how familiar it sounds:
at has long since ceased to walk the
country as I've body but stalks up and
down the stage Il bony ffeshless, skeleton,
rafting its old chains and turning itself in
Its rotten coffin. 1t has been exhumed
and post mOrlcm examination OF its few
remains reveals nothing but what was
known concerning the disease that car
ried il off but the pail bearers are still
holding its skeleton up to view, deter
mined to cling to their old honors and re-
fusing to hide the skeleton. But third
term mud, Dclano filth post office olfal
and internal revenue quicksands have
settled around and over it, and it can
never again be resurrected. There is no
trump which can sound loud enough to
wake it, and it is buried SO deep that no
earthly power can reach it,
You have guessed it, of course; the
Democratic party. And you have missed
it; of all things in the world, that is the
description of the Republican party, as
given by the Indianola Tribune We do
wonder if the Tribune wants to stake its
political reputation on that prophecy. So
''long since, and is IL noisy picbald, RI
diculous kind of ghost that stalks up
and down the stage" while it turns itself
in its coffin" and "rattles its chains"
cit can never again be resurrected. Dear,
dear, why didn't somebody tell us of ali
this before. Here we have been fooling
along under the impression that on the
very latest occasion which called the pa.-
ties of Iowa to the polls, the old Repub.
lican party stood right up with the boys
and chinned in, and took hand in the
fun, and knocked somebody down. We
believe, if we had time TO run back over
our files, we could find some vain glorious
reference TO the manner in which the Re
publican party cleaned out the ranch in
Iowa about that time. And here it was
nothing but a gibbering old ghost, clank-
ing around in harmless impotence. Well,
well, well. If it is "a ghost, it is ghost
that the sausage party in Iowa can't lay
out, and the Tribune will think il i, worse
than ghost, veritable go.lin, indeed
when it waltzes out and begins wlaneing
around with those "clanking chains"
next fall Those are chain shot the 1'rid-
une hears, and they will sweep the Dem
ocr0tic deck SO clear next election, that
the opposition papers, when they get
their breath will start out on that old edi-
torial, although not entirely successful
In the late contest, the Democratic party
has made encouraging and unprecedented
game" Ghosts We should say ghost,
and there isn't bell, book and candies
enough in the country to keep him quiet.
He's like Banquo's ghost, lie will not
down, but stays right up at the feast,
takes the best seat at the table, and has
more fun than all the rest of the boys.
He will haunt this country long after

An "Anti- Monopoly County Conven'
ton has been called for lama county
to be held at Toledo on the 18th inst, fol
the purpose of nominating a county ticket
and ''eecting five delegates to the State
Convention" "All voters who are op
posed to the Republican party" are in
vited to join in sending delegates to this
convention. Now what State Convention
do those who engineer this call propose
to send delegates to? There are but two
political State Conventions yet called
one Republican, the other, Democratic
so distinctly called and headed. The
t; rms of this Tama county call-invitine
all who are opposed to the Republican
party to join with them-forbid the idea
that they purpose to send delegates to the

must intend, then, TO send them to the

COUNTY CONVENTION.

Last week just as we were going 20 press
we received the call for theCounty Rcpub-
llican Convention. By REFER ng to tie a
our readers will see that the Convention
will take place on Saturday jane Goth.
We hope each township will be wei! le-
presented The basis of representation
adopted will give US a convention of 81
delegates The business of the conven-
ton will be the selection of 8 delegates to
attend the State Convention at nes
nomination of candidates for the various
offices to be filled at the election this
fall. We are not informed as to who will
be candidates for nomination, but we hope
only good men will be nominated, men
whom everybody can trust, and who like
CAESARS wife, are above suspicion. The
Convention last June was a success, the
best of feeling prevailed, and we went
into the canvass with victory already as
sured, and we verify believe that if a
good ticket is nominated this time victory
will again perch upon our banner. The
covering Of Anti Monopoly" has been
worn so thin the past year that the rotten
carcass of Democracy is plainly visible,
and the opposition State Convention this
year is called as straight Democratic
State Convention" There are many voters
in Tama County who were inyeiglcd into
voting the ti-Monopoly ticket two years
ago and even as late as last fall, who in
dignanty repealed the idea that they were
drifting into the old simon-purc,
S.T.--1S60--X tsamc thing rs il was in 1860,

ed that they were going to found new
party which should be the party of purity,
reform and progress. But the record of
this new party where it has succeeded in
getting into power, does not''pan out'with
its promises. Its progress has been back
ward instead of forward and its reform
has proven myth. Last fall great
many of the Republican voters returned
to their first love" and we believe that
now the mask of nt-Monopoly" is of
many more will come back this fall. In
the language of Webster the Republican
party "still lives" and we firmly believe
that 1t is to receive new lease of power,
in the national us well as in county and
State gOvernments 1t has been tried and
not found wanting and the people have
confidence in IT,
