THE "SHUDGE" AND HIS ORPHANS.

Misses Blanche Il svere and Kitty Lavardo,
the young New York singers whom "Shudge'
Becker caused to be arrested few days ago,
for obtaining money under false pretenses,
appeared for trial on Saturday before Police
Magistrate Evans.
The evidence of Becker was to the effect
that he had advanced money to the prisoners
to pay their way to New Orleans, where they
had engaged themselves to perform at his
establishment on Royal street, but he ad-
mitted that he had made no demand from them
for the restitution of the money advanced,
after they hid refused to comply with the
terms of their written engagements.
This document was pro duced by the de-
Tense, who maintained that the terms of the
contract plainly stipulated that they were en-
gagged to perform in concert saloon, and not
in beer-shop, as they found Becker's estab-
lishment to be. Justice Evans, taking this
view of the case enlarged the youthful night
ingales, who sailed forth warbling, "Lioerty
for Me, from the opera of the g S Tiss Cot
taoe,"

Old Ships and the Centennial.

To the Editor of the CONNER cial Adver User:
The brief but interesting account of the
American-built Spanish ship Panzaroina, in
your issue of this evening, will doubtless be
perused with pleasure by many of your read
ers and call from some of them, perhaps a
line telling us what 'they know" of some par
ticular old ship, memorable for some interest
ing event or association, for there must be
many such still in existence. 1t may not be
generally known that there are in Europe and
the far East number of very old American
built ships sound staunch and strong, doing
good work, and probably will continue doing
SO for many years to come, the most note
worthy of which may be ranked the bark
True Love, now in her one hundred and elev-
enth year, having been built at Philadelphia
in l764, and for grace and beauty of line
and i" curve" under water is not approached
by any OF the Dsla ware vessels of the present
day.
I notice the famous Constitution is being
fitted up for the Centennial Why not secure
the True Love and place her beside her in the
Delaware (as she could be taken close to the
centennial Grounds, and used in part for
a museum at a great pecuniary proft), as
lasting proof of the durableness of American
woods and skill and faithfuiness of Philadel-
phia mechanics? JNo. 81. ALLEN.

Hon. jeff. Davis and the United States


StH6Ucs
Now that it is plain that Mississippi will
elect Democratic Senator to succeed Mi.
Alcorn, it behooves US to begin to look around
US for some able citizen to represent us.
Among the names mentioned is that OF the
distinguished soldier and statesman whose
name is seen at the head of this article. We
believe that the Washington Chronicle is the
first journal that mentioned Mr.. Davis's name
in this connection, and it did it to taunt the
Democratic party at the North. A Cincinnati
paper followed the lead of the Chronicle, and
thus by accident prominence was given to a
subject that should not have attracted the
least notice.
There are many, many reasons why Mr..
Davis can never represent the people OF Mis-
sissippi again in the National Congress. The
first is that he is not now, and has not for
years been citizen of the State. His disa-
bilities have never been removed ; he has de-
termined never to enter public life again, and
would not serve if chosen. Then, if all
these difficulties were removed, it would be
very bad policy to send Mr.. Davis to
the Senate for, although the war
ended when the North--aided by
Europeans, Mongolians and Africans
whipped the South, this State is, to certain
extent, looked upon as province, and as
very suspicious province at that We have
long since forgiven the North for licking us,
but the North has never quite forgiven us
for being SO Internally hard to lick This
being thd case, and Mr.. Davis being among
the unforgiven, sending him to the United
States Senate is not to be thought Of for a
moment. The logic of this position is not at
all lessened by the ex-Pfesidents ability and
craftsmanship, for these make him more OBJ
jectionable than if he only equalled the COM
mon run of Northern Senators. - Vicksbug

THE COUSHATTA MURDER.
One of the Niche lsOns Killed.

A gentleman who arrived in this city FIJI
day from Coushatta confirms our special
dispatch relating to the capture OF the es'
capped prisoner Henry Nicholson, under SEN
tence Of death for the murder Of the peddler,
Marcus Young, in June last The same gen
tleman also reports that the other murderer,
George Nicholson, was killed by the authori-
ties in pursuit, but only after desperate
struggle with the escaped felon.
The escape as detailed in our special dis
patch, was evidently concocted plan from
the outside, but it appears the Sherif's depu-
ties pursued hoty and overlook their man,
when the above encounter took place. The
other brother, Henry Nicholson, will be ex-
ecuted on the Goth of this month.

Insurance Against Burglars.

From the New York Herald, Nov. 81
The National Burglary Insurance Com
pany, new insurance venture, whose object,
as implied by the name, is the insurance and
protection of property from burglary, was
opened at lis Broadway Yesterday afternoon.
This corporation obtained charter at Albany
about three years ago. A clause from its
form of policy will best explain its objects.
This is the clause: "What this com pany in
sures against is the breaking into the insured
premises from the outside with actual vio-
lence, and carrying off from said building or
premises any and all kinds of goods and
things therein contained Except those men,
toned herein as being hazardous), belonging
to the assured or held on commission, or sold
but not delivered" Places where peculiarly
valuable goods contained in small packages
are manufactured or stored are considered
hazardous, and double rates will be charged
for their insurance. The ordinary rate of III
surance is two per cent.

CAUTION.

In selecting delegates to the January Con-
vention our people should exercise peculiar
care in choosing good men and true; they
must be wary in deciding upon the men who
are to express the popular will in that assem-
blage, lest there might be introduced as the
peoples sentiments resolutions which might
lead to schism or equally disastrous results.
But, of all men, beware of those against whom
there is the least justifable suspicion of having
pledged themselves to any special policy or
in favor of any particular candidate, against
any and all other policies or Candidates sug
gested Let the only pledge that shall be ex-
acted from delegates be one of inference
drawn from their known fealty to right and
ustice. The man who goes into that Con-
vention pledged to support any other man in
tie selection of delegates to the National
Convention, or who, previous to his cleo
ton, is committed to the advocacy of any
preconcerted plan of action, other than
the general object of achieving the
utter defeat of Radicalism, is not
fit to be entrusted with the great charge which
our people must confide to the hands of their
delegates to that convention. The most
dangerous representative that can at any time
be chosen by the people is he who allows him
self to be pledged in order to secure his cleo
ton, or who becomes the candidate of any
set of men who are bent upon carrying out a
peculiar line of policy which shall result in
some special advantages to themselves. The
men who are to represent US should be per-
fectly free and unfettered when they take
their seats; they must be known as men
ofintegrity and ability, whose only object in
accepting the position is to labor for the good
Of the people Of the State, and who are shack
led with no election promises or personal
pledges. See to it, citizens that you send
men of unapproachable character-men whose
judgments can be relied upon, and men whom
you are satisfied go into the convention free
aud untrammeled, ready to do whatever of
good may be dictated by reason and the ext
gencies of the time, independent of any criti-
cism save that Of the honest voters " no sent
them there.

A Test Case in the New York Produce
Exchange.

The New York Produce Exchange is now
engaged in settling test case, in which two
points of considerable interest are involved.
The New York dealers have lately been anus
ing themselves by manipulating corner in
lard, whereby the price was considerably ad-
vanced and much money made and lost. The
losers, as usual in such cases, are inclined to
shirk out OF their contracts; hence the case
before the Produce Exchange. The points of
interest to the mercantile public are, first, the
extent of the authority of the Exchange; and,
second, the admissibility of the plea set up in
defense for non performance OF contract.
In matter involving good many thou
sands of dollars, it is OF considerable import
ance to note whether the decision OF the Elk.
change will be considered binding by the
contestants, and in case they, or either of
them, reu to abide by it, what the action
of the majority of the members will be in the
premises. Then the plea of the defense is
worthy of attention. The decline to pay up
their "shorts" on the alleged ground that
many of the salas on which the advanced
price was based were washed" or fictitious
sales If this plea is entertained by the Pro-
duce Exchange, it will strike severe blow at
the whole army OF spectators who sell what
they do not possess and buy what they do not
expect to obtain, for the sole purpose of
affecting prices.

Stephen Girard, the great Philadelphia
banker, was asked by a young man by what
rule he had acquired his fortune of many
millions of dollars. The reply was: - al
ways bought when everybody wished to sell,
and sold when all wanted to buy" If this
sagacious man was now on the stage he would
make his power felt in buying real estate, as
every body wishes to sell. Before he had been
in the market one week everybody would
buy. Foreign capital will soon seek this in
vestment, as, let it touch on this island
where it will, an income would be at once
sure of five per cent or perhaps ten, if i'm
proved. The agent of the Marquis OF West
minister in London told me that his lordship
owned whole streets OF the best dwellings in
London that did not average over two and a
half per cent per annum, and that he would
not change an investment that paid this in
come The time must be near when such
men will put their surplus revenues into New
York property, and all such investments will
then be out of the market forever as such
men seldom or never sell real estate " T.

THE LEVEES AND THE UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENT.

The inhabitants of the basin of the Lower
Mississippi. including half of Louisiana and
a third each of Mississippi and Arkansas
occupy lands, a large portion of which were
originally bought from the United States
Government, in most cases with the under
standing that by some means such lands were
to be made and kept tillable and capable OF
being occupied. Immense quantities OF lands
subject to overflow were turned over to those
States and sold at low prices. the proceeds
Except the central square mile IN each town.
ship reserved for schools) being carried to the
levee fund.- but they were always bought with
q view to their being reclaimed by means OF
the construction and maintenance OF levees.
Since the abrupt change in the labor system
of the alluvial country, and the enormous I'M
poverishment caused by that change and by
the war. the people who inhabit and cultivate
those lands find themselves unable to con-
struct and repair such levees as are altogether
necessary to enable them to raise crops.
We do not need the statement just issued
by the Louisiana Levee Company to assure US
that the ate is now too poor to keep up an
adequate system of levees. With due econo-
my exercised in all other respects our re-
sources would still be insufficient The State
Is already in debt very largely for levees
built many years ago, and has not at her COM
mand even the means to rebuild and repair
them.
The Levee Company cannot be expected to
continue the work which costs them hundreds
of thousands of dollars each year in excess OF
what the State levee taxes now yield or can
be expected to produce hereafter The sales
of swamp lands amount to a mere rife, |
scarcely suffi ,ient to pay, one year with |
another, for the construction of 5000 cubic
yards of levee.
We most cordially welcome the recommen-
dation of the Lsvee Company to solicit the
aid of the United States Government. We
can enter this petition with as good grace and
for reasons as equitable as any request or de-
mand that has ever yet been presented in the
halls of Congress. The region for which this
protection is asked produces now annually
cotton worth $50, 900, 600 for expectation, the
imports in exchange for which pay duties into
the United States Treasury to the amount of
not less than $l6,O00,0O0. This is virtually q
tax levied by the government on the cotton
produced on the lands protected by levees.
Is there anything more equitable, fair,
and just then that fourth part Of
this sixteen millions should be spent on the
levees? Can the United States Government in
any way more effsctually increase its revenue
than by retaining and protecting an always
increasing area of lands to be devoted to the
production of cotton for expectation? The
tillers of the alluvisl lands have already paid
the general government twenty times as much
rs complete system of levees would cost,
and they pay every year many times as much
rs it would cost to keep such system in COM
