Reform WITH A VENGEANCE.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin.

Editor New Orleans Bulletin.
The asylum for the blind at Baton Rouge has
recently been touched by the magic wand Of
Radical reform. The old board OF trustees COM
posed in the main, of fair men-one or two Of it's
members being, indeed, intelligent and very good
men-have been thrown out to make way for
men Of no intelligence and no character. Aye,
. gentleman Of high culture, graduate Yale
College, is no longer the vice president Of the
board. but an illiterate and incompetent individ-
ual is. Rev. P. Lane, one of the ablest and best
men in the 6tate-blind from his childhood, and
lifelong student of the needs Of his class of
defectives-is replaced as principal by one who
has never appreciated education enough to edu-
cate himself, and whose chief fitness for the high
position he holds can only be his influence as q
petty politician and his promptness in drawing
II it is the intention of the law in founding pub
Lie institutions, only to make places for ward pol
iticians, however ignorant they may be, then
should the Executive be applauded for the faith
full and efficient manner in which he has done
his duty in this case. But If the institution for
the education of the blind is meant to be SYM
Dol of high type Of civilization, then has he not
been guilty Of q great wrong in confding that
education to such men as he has recently put in
charge Of the institution It were better far to
have all public institutions closed than to allow
them to be prostituted to purposes so low.
We commend this matter to the earnest con-
sideration If the people of Louisiana, and par.
ticularly to the Legislative Committee on Re-
trenchmens and Reform. -

Cemeteey By committees from the General Coun-

at the depot in the city was met by Msyor 1oa&ue
and the remainder Of the city officials: inc

ing the Inequalities of the city. TO which we
Vice President responded in an appropriate man
ner, taxing occasion to say that he WAS uavenne

and after referring to his anti-slavery record and

peace and good feeling would succeed its bitter
ness. and our country would prosper and become
the greatest nation upon the earth.
After an air from the band in attendance the
party took carriages for the Peabody Hotel,
whore an immense crowd had assembled, and in
response 10 loud calls the Vice President ap-
peared upon the verandah and made . short

Collector Of Internal Revenue, and others. called
upon Mr.. Wilson. he remains here until Mon

A MUSICAL TREAT.

On last Wednesday evening. at the residence Of
that accomplished d'7iste and highly educated
lady, Mime. Zeiss-D Dennis, there was musical
event which deserves % rank high in the annals
of our successes in the divine art. * s8a
| On that occasion the pupils Of this gifted lady,
] whose name in this community has become synon-
ymous with all that is commendable, gave public
evidence. before some two hundred invited guests,
OF their rapid advancement under Nine. Zeiss-
Dennis's tuition. The following programme,
replete with rich and difficult selections, was
given:
Overture, La Muette de Portici-Auber-
Mile. Leblanc and NJ. Fournier.

It is q difficult task to select from the accom-. |
plished pupils, SO thorough and correct was the |
and so full of expression and |
pure in tone the vocalization of all.
Several exquisite duets from Auber, Belini |
and Rossini were rendered with much taste, and |
the whole can be rightfully considered not only |
complete success but the very highest compi-
ment to the estimable lady whose care and atten-
lion, coupled with her skill as q musician, has
brought out such result.
After the musical exercises had closed Miss
Alice Afieck, of the senior class, and Miss Olo-
ilde Rozier, of the junior class, received gold
Medals for their merit in singing. These young
aides were the successful ones after q severe
competitive examination.

QN DIT.

In the Superior District Court, yesterday
there was large attendance Of butchers, inter-
ested in the trial Of the rule taken by the city
set aside the injunction taken by the private
market men against them, prohibiting them from
selling meats. The cases were taken up and
| some continued.
At the Cust0m-House.
Everything about the old pile yesterday was
unusually quiet, there being nothing of inter-
est transpiring. The mosaic pavement is nearly
completed in the corridor on the Canal street
side.
The distressing quiet in political circles evil
dences as much as any thing else can that the
heated term is upon u.s. When politics succumb
it must be considered as true that every thing
else has entered state Of slumber. As Sairey
Camp would say, " the poor creeter will be h'easy
now, fur she's been an taken her Dovers pud-
dels."
Ambitious gents will still, however, continue
to move around on the lookout for the ends Of
stray wires which may serve them in securing
chance for the Senatorship.
The curiosity Of the public as to who is to be
the next Chief Of Police has not been gratifed.
The rumors that this one and that one has been
successful turns out to be untrue, and when the
gossipers have stated themselves upon this sub
ject they start on q new man. As to the Police
Board, however, there is no such doubt. They
reinstate their friends and the matter is made
public. They don't botch their work, but brave
the opinion Of the people and go through it.
What they are going to do next remains to be |
seen, but we may expect something as startling |
as was the re-appointment of Sergeant Bibb.
Capt. George L. Norton, the Harbor Master, it
Is said, received five hundred dollars from the
owners of the ship Hagerstown, for valuable SER
vices rendered ON the occasion of that vessels

A PLEA FOR THE POOR.
New ORLEANS, La. NAV

New ORLEANS, La, May Z, 1876.
To the Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin:
Dear SRA short time since read an article
in the BULLETIN appealing to the ladies' Of New
Orleans to help the suffering poor. Having seen
no response, I take the liberty Of making q sug-
gestion to the leading ladies Of all our churches
The reputation Of the ladies' Of New Orleans is
well known % that OF noble, self-denying women;
women who are willing to give their time, labor
the beautiful churches that adorn our city! The
money that built them was obtained by the never
ceasing energies Of the women; by their fairs
concerts, festivals and entertainments of q hum
dred kind.
Who but the women could have erected that
beautiful monument to the Confederate dead
which now stands in Greenwood Cemetery 1t is
noble work to build churches where they are
needed it is noble to send money to the mis-
sionaries but it is nobler to save life. Our Sa-
viour said. ''The poor ye have always with you"
In this He meant help them, take care Of them
Every day we see announcements in the papers
OF concerts, festivals and various entertainments
for The benefit Of this and that church, to build
one or repair one, or to buy an organ for another
Y ung ladies, little girls and boys are found with
tickets on every hand, begging gentlemen to buy
them or the good Of the church. Now, could not
our ladies unite upon some plan by which they
could do more good than by building churches.
Let each church get up entertainments for the
benefit of the starving poor. Let committee
be formed OF honest and capable men, into
whose hands the money can be placed. Ou
streets are in wretched condition, our bridges
broken, our park a pasture for the cows-our
city is difapidated. Take the money arising
from the various entertainments and give work
to the poor and adorn our CITY. This Is holy
cause. The clergy should lead in this matter
and encourage the women. Our dramatic asso- |
cations might assist in this work. but we depend
on the ladies'. Women Of New Orleans, could |
you undertake nobler work?
Help the suffering poor. Think of the hungry |
mouths you would ill. Think of the pale and |
sunken faces Of the little children Think Of the |
souls you might save, for extreme poverty causes
many poor youths and maidens to go astray.
Think Of all this first, and then remember that |
you will be able to repair and sdorn our beloved
city. Our city, that has been robbed and de-
spoiled till she can no longer feed her children,
may be restored to her former beauty by your
soft, white hands. Who will be the first to begin
the good work2 Make out your programme
get up your tickets, and, young ladies, go forth
