The trouble with the business men of
New Orleans has been that they have
allowed politics to overshadow their bust.
ness interests. They have carried political
discussion into bitter personal disputes.
Men have been Ostracised socially and in
business circles on account of their political
opinions. Such state of affairs means
financial ruin for any community in which
it exists.
In St. Louis our business men can hardly

creasing rapidly. and the city is growing in
wealth and population. Let the New Or

business, and they will make more money,
than they could possibly save from the
most corrupt officials by constantly running
to political meetings.-St. Lo,sis Journal.

The Cau-Cau in Court.

Martin Campbell, stage manager of the
Metropolitan Theatre, together with his
sixteen can can dancers, all indicted for
keeping disorderly house, were present in
Sessions to day. The girls kept up lively
time, laughing and joking incessantly.
knowing that they could only be used as
witnesses. The hallways were thronged
with men evidently intensely interested in
the case, but who were unable to gain ad-
missiOn. The courtroom was densely
crowded, and the audience was intensely
amused for several hours listening to the
description of the can-can given by Captain
Mcdonnell and his officers.
Martin Campbell, the theatre manager,
was placed on trial separately.
Captain Mcdonnell, of the eighth pre-
ciDct. testified. as an expert, that he was
present at the performance Of the can. can
on Monday night. when the theatre was
opened under the auspices of Campbell.
The captain then graphically and hnmor-
ously described the can can performance.
Campbell danced in the can-can with one
of the women, and indulged in the usual
gestures.
The audience evinced their delight at the
performance by shouting to the dancers to
kick higher" an appeal which was always
responded to by renewed efforts ON the
part Of the danseuses. At each encore the
dancers tried to excel their previous efforts,
and were subjected to many remarks from
their patrons.
Mn Howe, counsel for the prisoners,
rigorous crossex smined the captain, with
the view Of showing that the gestures com
planned Of were NO worse than those in
dulged in by Bonfanti. Pauline Markham,
and other popular actresses and dancers.
A recess was then taken, during which the
eighteen can-can dancers, jointly indicted
with Campbell, were called MP, and on
motion of Mr.. Howe, discharged. A num-
Der of them remained in court for the con.
tinuation of the case, Mr.. Howe having
them dressed in the costume worn by them
on the stage, in order to let them dance the
can-can in court, 80 that the jury might see
what it was like.
The announcement that the dance would
be performed rapidly spread abont the city
hall and new courthouse. In five minutes
the sherif's Office was deserted All the
deputies have run over to the courtroom in

We learn from the Vicksburg Times that
among other claims presented to the city
council Of vicksburg for payment, is one
made by Mr.. Louis Hoffman. for arms taken
from his store by "citizens" ON the morn
ing of December z, 1874. The citi.
zens-they call them citizens in Vicks-
burg, that is, the most gentlemialy
OF the burglars entered Mr. Hoffman's
store during the proprietors absence,
and demanded guns. They asked the
clerk to stand and deliver them up to
the citizens. The clerk was unused to such
dealing, and hesitated, andthe citizens init.
mated that rope was waiting for him out.
side. The clerk could do nothing but com.
ply, and he was not allowed to take the
names of the citizens to whom the arms
were delivered. After killing such colored
men as presented themselves before the
citizens, the citizens retired to their happy
firesides, and took Mr.. Hoffman's shotguns
with them. 1t seems strange that citizens
with souls noble enough to kill any Repub-
lican in the city because the county sheriff
had not fled satisfactory bond, would fail
to return borrowed property; but such are
the facts, and the robbed owner naturally
looks to the citizens officers of the citizens'
city for reparation. 1t is very pretty case
OF contiscation. Of stealing and riot to pre-.
serve order.

Telegraphic Protection,

The Senate will today have under con.
sideration, provided it is not again post
poned. one of those measures which always
commend themselves to the enlightened Law
maker. 1t is the bill to incorporate the
Louisiana Telegraph Company, and grant
the right Of way to Shreveport.
The subject of speedy and sure intern al
communication is always an important one,
even though State has already established
them. In all the more thickly settled and
prosperous States honest schemes of rail.
road, ferry, turnpike and telegraphic fran.
chises are regarded with favor; and even in
Massachusetts,, every square mile of which
is within ten minutes reach of Boston, new
charters are granted every year.
Here, in Louisiana, we have nothing.
The river is our ferry and turnpike
and railroad. No telegraphs, connecting
New Orleans with the other principal
places OF the State, exist. All the people
along Red river might perish the same
day of an Indian fight in Montana, but
the list Of dead Indians would be four
days old before tidings came from our iso.s
lated interior. In these days of quick
thought and prompt action, town must
be in close communion with the larger city,
and have its pulse beat in unison. In times
Of excitementsa a community without instant
encouragement from the supreme authority
must govern itself. 1t was the necessity
for the Austrian General to write to Vienna
that gave Napoleon his first victories in
Italy. To-day. with the wires uncut. q
greater genius than he would be defeated.
In isolated towns, only hearing from the
centre of government at intervals and
many days behind the march of events, the
peaceful citizen may be at the mercy of
any uprising.
1t was the absence of power for lawful
to present itself that gave the
lawIess men of Colfax and Coushatta their
courage, for their horses were as feet 90
those OF the law, and placed them beyond
its reach. Had it required as long time
for Grant to learn what was doing in New
Orleans September Ii as for the Governor
to hear from Rapides, it would have required |
. very different proclamation to put an end |
to the anarchy last fall. A parallel could
,nly be found in Lincoln's first call for
z, 200 men.
Give Louisiana one-fourth as many lines
Of telegraph as Massachusetts, and she will
be as peaceful, and with peace will come
immigration and prosperity.
The bill does not create monopoly. 1t
asks for nothing but permission to erect it's
POSTS and string it's wires. 1t will not take
! dollar from the treasury, nor do dollars
worth of damage. 1t makes no request for
'onds, and simply asks fer the right of way.
The telegraph is necessity well appreci-
tied BY all people, and by none more than
hose to be reached by this line. There is
lot constituent of any Senator whose dis.
riot is between here and Shreveport who
will not regard this bill as promising bene.
its to him which he is anxious for. Let the
inc be built and operated, and new lite will
70 given to business along it's route.

Hurricane i'm Avoyelles Parish.

From letter of the Rev. Father S,mon,
OF Choupique. Avoyelles parish, to the
Marksville Bulletin, it appears that place
has been visited by terrible tornado.
Choupique bayou was the scene of much
devastation by the inundstiGn, and the
people had hardly recovered from it's ef.
fects.
On Tuesday evening, February 2, about
half-psst five O'Clock, column of wind at
least GOO feet wide swept over the town
with such terrible force that everything in
its course was destroyed. Fifty.four build
ings were blown down and the materials 60
scattered that nothing of value could after
ward be collected. Not . sign Of fence
was to be seen. The letter states that the
tornado commenced it's work of destruction
at the plantation of Mr.. N. v. Plauche and
ended with that of the Widow E. Lacour.
on Lower Choupique. In its course was
the beautiful church which the people of
the parish had endured much to erect More
than $4,000 of damage was done, prin-
cipslly affecting those who are least able to
endure it. Many Of them have not only
lost the roofs that sheltered them, but even
their clothing and furniture. Whole families
were buried under the ruins Of their dwell
lings, but few lives were lost. Many were
severely bruised, and little child about
eleven years old, running out of the house,
was blown from the gallery to the ground,
and will probably die Of the injuries re-
ceived. A lad sixteen years old was carried
q thousand feet in the air, and when taken
from the ground was dead. but with NO sign
Of wound on any part of his body.
The reverend father makes an earnest
appeal for aid for his parishioners, who are
at this season, the commencement of q cror,
made almost powerless to help themselves.
