THE LEASE OF OUR WHARvES.

Until June II citizens, merchants, ship
pers, capitalists, and all who are interested in
the welfare of New Orleans, have chance to
labor to defeat the unfortunate scheme of the
City Council to ALLEVIATE the citys control Of
the wharves and levees for term of years.
So far as we can learn, there are but few in
favor of the lease, and, of these few, we are
obliged to believe that part have not duly
considered the project in its important bear
ings, while others belong to the class who
habitually welcome anything new as change
What direct or indirect interest some may
have in the new contract, is not q matter per-
tinent to our inquiry.
On the other side of the question we find
an array of intelligence and of influence that
ought to give pause to the City Council
Nine-tenths Of the men in business and Of
representatives of capital in New Orleans,
looking hopefully forward to the time when
this may be made free port, to the great
enhancement of our commerce, are opposed
to the lease of the city's river front to any
clique or ring Of spectators. Now that the
coils of the great anaconda of usurpation are
unwinding and unloosening from the body
and limbs of the Commonwealth, they are
panied to see tendency to perpetrate at
home, by our own people, . speculative mo-
nopoly which Radical impudence never dared
to impose.
or the destructive influence of the pro-
posed measure, the BULLETIN has already and
repeatedly spoken. We now aim merely at
aiding in such organized opposition to the
lease as may be practicable and promise good
results. 1t is very probable that thorough
and general expression of opinion upon the
leasing plan would have wholesome effect.
As to the form of this demonstration or the
time when it should be made, We can only
suggest that it should bear the symbols of
popular authority and come as directly as
possible from those who truly represent the
commerce of the city. It ought not to be de-
layed. Let those who feel the disastrous in
fuence Of port charges upon the good name
and the business of the city move in this mat
ter betimes before the mischief shall be con-
summated beyond revocation or remedy.

There Wan quite pleasant gathering OF
the lovers Of good music, yesterday alter
noon, at the residence Of Dr.. Bayon, on
Bourbon street, near Toulouse. The princi-
pal feature of the evening was the perform
ance of some excellent music from the pen OF
our talented young townsman. MI. q.
D'Aquin, who is now studying at the Paris
Conservatory Of Music. The first moroccan
was a composition in two parts-frst part
was Lamentations, second part "Prayers. >
The piece is arranged for the piano, violin
and flute. II was performed on the flute by
Mr.. Livain, on the violin by Mr.. Hayem,
and ON the piano by Mr. Bayon.
The seeond piece was "Nighs," romance
words by Nine. Emile Evershel, OF New Orleans,
and the music by Mr.. g. DAquin. In both pieces
great musical ability was displayed, and we are
pleased to record so rapid progress made by our
young friend. This was. the first time these
pieces were ever played in the city, but will
doubtless soon be numbered by our dilettanti
among their most favored gems.

few days We may expect him at the capital.
While We may differ, toto ealo, most mate
rally, from the distinguished preacher IN
our sectarian predictions. we can but
accord to him the purposes OF honesty and
sincerity.
DR.. Watson was once a jealous Meth
Odist and regarded spiritualism as q
full-grOwn humbug and claims to have
become proselyted without hope Of reward
and from honest convictions. The adher-
ents to tins system claim that it embraces
more intellect for its expounders than any
other. There are now many books being
printed in its support, and every language
in the universe is represented by one or
more periodicals Of this church.
They claim a perfect harmony between
science, religion and spiritualism, and that
all religions are, to greater or less extent
based upon spiritualistic manifestation
that Moses and other distinguished writers
in the old Bible acknowledged the truth of
mesmerism, clairvoyance ETC., and cite
many occasions and incidents from Holy
Writ to define and give vitality to all of
their wonderful theories. A visit to DR..
Watson's may well repay the earnest seeker
for truth or the morbid curiositer, and we
anticipate for him that character Of audi
ence that his intelligence and acknowledged
ability would invite.

mACARTNFY,s MIRACLEs.

Pete Mccartney is still supplied abun-
dainty with Chicago bank notes. These
have singular virtues. Chicago is all vir-
tue. Pete's guardsmen are even especially
susceptible to influences exerted by Chi
cago. Whenever a man goes to Chicago
his first impulse is to 60 to sleep, and al
ways at the wrong place; and then, the
moral atmosphere is wholly counterfeit.
The Inter Ocean and Times could not CO
exist save in the MIDST of foullest mephitic
Vapors. But they were bringing Macart-
ney to Austin Thursday night. The train
was near Willis. OF course, Macartney's
guards went to sleep. Mccartney filed off
his fetters, stepped out On the platform,
rang the bell, and instantly leaped upon
the top of the train. His guards were
reused, and away they went howIing over
the country in all directions The conductor
left them rs soon as hs-was satisfied that
Mccartney wasn't killed, and the conduc-
tor and passengers were we'll pleased. The
truth is, while everybody would have the
sleepy guardsmen killed, they would now
favor the escape of ,theIadrOit and fearless
Mccartney. He almost deserves his free
dom; and if he will agree to vaeate Texas,
or do nothing for the rest of his life but
counterfeit Chicago. money, Texas will as
sent to his liberation. Such is one aspect
of popular feeling. mccartney sat quietly
perched on top of the train, and wher
thirty miles from the place of his supposed
escape he again quietly pulled the bell rope
the train stopped, ana Mccartney quietly
walked away. This is the version of the
story given by a passenger who was talking
with Mccartney five minutes before tn,
Chicago anodyne, which Mccartney admin
istered, operated upon his guards. We
tell the story differently from the manner
of the Houston press, and it is needless tc
give details with which. they are filed

as Gordon and Evarts view Il, as Americans /;
but even to a greater extent, as Texans.

are as essential to Texan liberty, within the
bounds Of this vast empire of Texas, as the
absolute freedom Of States within the
Union. Western counties would not have
their local affairs controlled by majority
representing eastern counties, and counties
and towns must be as free as the State.
That government is best which governs
least, and that Constitution is best which
embodies forms of government Designed
to give and not restrict popular and
personal aud local freedom. The tendency
of Radicahsm, in Federalism, is to monop-
Olize power by taking it from States and
other local governments; the tendency of
Democracy is to enlarge the sphere Of State
and municipal powers, and in these differ
ences consist the important difference be-
tween Democracy and Radicalism. II Judge
Ileland will assent to this as the leading
local idea and purpose of the party, which
one of his organs denies, and tell us that
he would frame = Democratic Constltu-
tion' for Texas, because he would assure
the freedom of municipalities, there would
be q share of decency and prOpriety in the
selection of Democrats as such, and Demo
Gratis exclusively, to shape the organic law
Of Texas. But he entertains no such pur-
poses. He tells of no such philosophy of
government, and is impelled simply by the
desire for conflict with impotent Radical
ism, in which triumph is an absolute GER
tainty, and it is victory over fallen foe
that would electrify with delight the bo-
som of the pugnacious Judge. He would
have the convention constituted of men
like himself, and, after fierce conflict,
rioting in the spOils OF victory, inject their
passions and selfshness, even as did Davis's
barnacles, into the Constitution of Texas

George E. Spencer, Of Indiana, is now
serving his second term in the United
States Senate. He was elected Senator
from Alabama in 1868, and last year he was
again chosen In the following manner
Spencer felt:assured- that if the Legislature
met in the proper way the Democrats would
defeat him. The Spencer party therefore
organized what was termed the Court
House Legislature. Whilethe Capitol Leg
islature was assembling for organization,
the Spencer party sent for number of can
didates who had signaliy missed election,
and, by bribing Capitol member and drug
ging another, organized quorum for the
Court House Legislature, and prevented one
in the Capitol The money used by the
Spencer party was supplied by the postofice
and revenue officials. Before the election
troops were sent into different parts of the
State to intimidate Democratic voters.
Agents promised government patronage TO
those who would support Spencer, and
thus, through vilIainy, corruption and gov
ernment aid, they succeeded in their nefa-
rious designs, and Spencer was chosen Sena-
tor by the illegal Court House Legislature.
These facts have been proven m the leg
islative investigation, and are so glaring
that the Republican party even can hardly
afford to allow Spencer to retain his seat.
Tie manner in which carpet-bag Republi-
cans have managed elections in the South
is thoroughly exposed, and it is shown how
the power Of the government has been used
in their support. Voters are denied their
rights, and the whole affair will exert q
powerful influence in opening the eyes Of
the whole nation 70 the enormities prac-
ticed against the Southern people. Such
Outrages, unless efectqally stopped, must
make Republicanism odlous, break up the
power that now controls the United States,
or hastily result in imperialism. Let the
Democratic party be wise, prudent and lib
eral, and hecountry viii yst be emerged

THE impudence and assurance of the
professional placehunrer and public plum
derer is only ,excelled by his own utter lack
of pride and conscience, We learn (and
the fact has not been heretofore publishedo
that &c CaswelI" Tankersly, Ham and Tom
Bowen, once the Sachems in the plunder-
ing schemes and councils of the Republi-
can party of Arkansas, are now located in
Colorado, and are preparing to 'Sgobble"
that State. TaHkersly, is an ex-speaker of
the lower house of the Legislature of
Arkansas, superintendent of the State
penitentiary, ex-president of a paper rail-
road located in the Southwestern part of
the State, both an ex-Federal and ex-Con-
federate soldier. He went to that State In
a pauper's rags, and now sweats in the
livery of a prince. Ham is a lawyer of
some cunning, and an ex-circuit judge of
the Fort Smith district, and was a most
willing tool in the hands of Clayton and
''Poker Jack" Mcclure. Tom Bowen is
ex-president of the first constitutional con-
vention after reconstruction, ex-chief JUS
tice Of the State, ex-candidate for the
United States Senate against Dorsey. They
quilted their quondam places and citizen
ship with the cheerful and generous con-
sent of the people of Arkansas. First,
g Tank, !" as his friends choose to sOHbriqsSt
Tankerslys immediately upon the recent
change in Arkansas, located in Denver,
ostensibly TO practice law. Shortly after
Ham crossed the Rubicon, and the thieves
met at Denver and formed an alliance.
During this time Tom Bowen, with the
four hundred thousand dollar "rolIn he
had carried away from Arkansas, was figuring
on Wall streetin New York, and soon found
himself fatally gored by willy "buil, I"
and with the fifteen hundred dollars re-
naming in his wallet, he invested in com
plete set of faro tools and journcyed to
New Mexico. Passing through Denver be
met his Arkansas comrades, and, after 4
consultation, ''scheme" was eoneOcted by
this tricky trio whereby they might be rein
stated to place and power. Toms visions Of
Mexican gold were now given place to Uto-
plan dreams Of political honOrs, and the
gamblers tools were sold to purchase an
other sceptre of wealth and prominence.
After their well-digested plans, Ham was
sent to the more northern, Bowan to the
southern and Tankersly to the eastern and
central part of the State, and each one Of
these gentlemen is now prosecuting bis
claims to a seat in his respective locality for
a seat in the constitutional convention that
convenes, we believe. in June. It Is well
understood among them that s. Tank is to
be president Of the convention, and after
wards to be Governor. This done, Bowen
and Ham are to be suitably provided for.
Il is said that TanksrsIy has two hundred
thousand dollars to use for these purposes,
and that his strikers are now vigorously at
work ~
It's no less wonderful than true that these
desperate men, with the blackened character
they have left in Arkansas and with their
crimes and history well known everywhere,
should thus attempt to again rise up and
capture the government Of State.
