Is BUNKO HERE AGAINg

A gentleman reports yesterday that friend
of his, just from Maryland, was met on St..
Charles street Tuesday afternoon by we'll
dressed looking fellow, who endeavored to
induce him to visit a neighboring Office for
the purpose of inspecting some articles. The
Marylander, who was evidently up to snuff, /"
couldn't enjoy the felicity offered, and left the
roper in blank despair.
If we are to have q revival of bunko, the
police should know it at once and nip it in
the bud.
A number of TIE gang are said to be seen
daily promenading our streets.

WHEELER'S CAVALRY.
District Attorneys Dyer and
BrOadhead to be Sent Here.
The Crooked Crusade.

Promptly on time the phalanx of twenty
inquisitors fled into court, and Judge Woods
had their names called. Silently and in
gloom they marched out into their chambers,
where they sat around their dissecting table
for awhile converting.
Major New and Deputy Steele formed in
solid column then and moved down the broad
stairway of the Custom House to act as body
guard Of Herman Clippers, the witness who
was beaten Monday, and who was summoned
to appear before the Grand Jury; but as one
Tchoupitoulas street Car after another came
down, and no Herman appeared, they broke
ranks, and the jury was discharged until
Thursday morning.
Special Agent Wheeler came to the surface
in the morning, and was welcomed by his
friends. He states that he has been to Louis
vile, Chicago and ST. Louis, stopping short
time at each place. His orders lately re-
ceived are to push prosecutions to convic-
ton as fast as possible, and to leave nothing
undone to ferret out the crooked mystery.
United States District Attorneys Dyer and
Broadhead are to be sent down here to assist
in the prosecution and to give their weight of
experience in the whisky investigations to the
government cause here.
This puts a new phase upon the matter,
and the news has produced something Of a
stir.
The jury commissioners are preparing list
of jurors already, not from citizens of the
country, as was reported, but from residents
here. Mr.. Flanders, one of the commission
ers, stated that, under the judges order, they
could. not select any person not residing in
this parish

CLEAR MISTAKE From reading the Repub-
lican journals, it would seem that it was all q
mistake to suppose that committee of the
House of Representatives was in any sense
instrumental in exposing Belknap's corrup-
ton, or that the House roposes, SO far as lies
in its power, Furnishing him. The President
and his Cabinet did it all Pierrepont was the
adviser. The Democratic House has simply
been conspiring to let guilty man escape,
and the President is very mad about it. The
President accepted the resignation "with
great regret" in order that the law might
have better chance at Belknap. OF cousse
all this is the very opposite of truth, but what
Radical wants anything but falsehood; be-
ieved ?-Losumbus ga EnquTer-Sun.

MISS MAY HOWARD.

in all other arts, can be submitted to one test
that will infallibly indicate its worth. That
which endures in the memory, that which,
upon every introduction to the spectator, as
sumes . deeper and keener interest; that
which becomes endowed with new and con.
stantly developing attractions; that which
lays stronger hold upon the Imagination
every time the eye rests upon it, and charms
the senses with deeper and truer conception
of its merit, may fairly be ranked, not only
as satisfactory, but as also the highest art.
On these grounds, Miss May Towards per.
soniAcation Of Mercy Merrick, in j" The New
Msgdalen," may fairly claim to be considered
a fine piece Of acting, and the lady herself an
accomplished artist Each succeeding repe-
tition of the character has served but to
make more apparent its many beauties, and
to show how deserving an actress Miss How
ard Is. OF the play we have already spoken
it has no other merit than it's strong dramatic
construction, but it's morbid tone in no way
inserferes with the opportunities which its
scenes allow for dne display Of effective
acting.
The attention paid by the audience to the
actress, and the quality rather than the number
of the visitors to the theater, are great com.
pliments to her, showing the power q gifted
woman can exercise over cultured minds,
even whom the character she assumes has
many Questionable features. Tn*beauty of
Miss Howard and her graceful feminine art
glorify the character of Mercy Msrrica- and
the fallen woman, whose repentance can not
be sincere while she is yet committing another
grievous sin-enlists the symphathies Of the
audience, and they see before them something
that calls for admiration rather than pity.
Miss Towards best act ia, Of course, the
third sct, where the real and false Grace
Roseber7y meet It Is the only scene in the
play that gives any chance for strong acting.
and Miss Howard is equal to the effort, and
last. night brought down the house in .
tumult Of applause, when she turned like .
tigress upon the cold-hearted, taunting
woman who had heaped upon her insults
greater than her even then repentant heart
could bear. But We still hold to the opinion
Is first expressed, that Miss Howard's forte is
comedy. The brilliant play Of features, the
wonderful lighting up of the face in the few
lighter scenes Of the play, revealed the
glimpse Of a power which, if it had scope,
would result in brilliant acting.
Although Miss Howard came among us only
q few days ago an utter stranger, she has
already won many friends and admirers, who
have learned to appreciate and respect her
artistic ability, and who paid to her talents
and her beauty the generous tribute of their
applause, which both have so we'll deserved.
Miss Howard may hereafter look upon New
Orleans as the home Of her friends, to which
she will always be accorded q hearty vel
come.
