Two curious documents have lately come

ele.tioneering methods adopted at the time
WHEN Butler ruled New Orleans, and to ex-
hitit the high state of feeling then current in
reference to the candidates and their personal
and political qualifications. The colored
voters of this city may learn from. one of
these cards what DR.. A. P. Dostie, who was
one of their staunchest friends, and their pet
hero, thought of the present Attorney Cen
eral of the State, and what was thought of
both of these worthless by the old Quaker

fessional beggars.
Umbrellas were considered safe to carry
about on Thursday.
And now ladies prepare for the next
grand social event, the ball to be given by the
Continental Guards.
The friends Of Hon. j. 3. Eustis say
he is determined man, and won't allow a
mere Pinch to keep him out of his seat in
the Senate.
We are informed by Hen. D. F. Ken

that the river is falling here at present, and
rising from Helena up.

all other means in endeavoring to persuade
lady friend not to leave the artillery ball so

of the hall, because there was Flood at the
door. There was, he was taking tickets.

POLITICAL TALK.
IAtters h and around

Matters h and around
THE STATE HOUSE
were very quiet on Thursday morning, and
nothing of interest was Transporting.
Pinchbacks chances are generally looked
upon as better than ever before, and bets were
offered that he would be seated.
THE POLICE COMMITTEE
will have Gov Kellogg before them, and he
will be examined, as was Lieut.. Gov. Antoine,
about the bill reducing the expenses of the
police force 100000.
The bill, it is said, was held back by some
one until the estimate of expenditures was
made ard presented to the Council, and the
purpose of the bill was thereby defeated.
The committee want to know who is re-
sponsible.
Yesterday Senator Robertson endeavored to
introduce and have considered resolution
providing for the appointment of a committee
to ascertain
HOW SENATOR WEST WAS ELECTED,
but majority Of the Republican members
led by Burch, refused to allow the resolutio n
to be introduced. 1t will, however, be intro
duced to day in its order.
There was some little excitement about the
State House yesterday after adjournment OF
the House, in consequence Of rumor that
Mr.. Butler, of Ascension, q we'll known col
ored member Of the House, had threatened to
CHALLENGE
the legislative reporter of the Times. Mr..
Butler it is said, however, has denied that he
ever made such a threat.
THE REPRESENTATIVES, OF GRANT pARI-H
is taking steps to have the tax collector of the
parish removed He will present to the Gov
ernor the certificate of the Clerk of the First
District Court, Of this parish setting forth
that the collector had been sentenced to
term in the Penitentiary for petty larceny, and
served bis time, and on this certificate the re-
moval Of the collector will be asked. If the
Governor refuses to act the matter will be
brought to the att ention of the House.

THE CASE ENDED.
Hibernia.

1t will be remembered that some time ago
m an named Bertrand Dinnot was tried before
the Superior Criminal Court on the charge Of
embezzlement, convicted and sentenced to
serve a term of two years in the Penitentiary.
A motion for new trial was filed and re-
fused. Afterwards the counsel for the &C.
cused fled motion in arrest OF judgment.
The argument was fixed for yesterday, and
was Yesterday continued until Saturday.
The prisoner was remanded to the Parish
Prison, and remained there but half an hour
when lie died.

a prominent Washington capitalist ap-
preached Goldstone and made him a
bona fide offer of $500, 200 for his bid; but
having been informed by Mr.. Boutwell, that
the matter was all right and that he, Gold
stone, must 60 TO- the Treasures Office at
o'clock. to sign the necessary documents, the
offer was rejected.
Imagine the surprise of Goldstone upon
visiting the Office as directed, to find that
Boutwell, had suddenly left Washington on
the 12:45 train, and to see Gen. Miller, the
representative of the $4,000 bid, with his
arm Familiarity

laughing and chatting about the matter. I'm
agine his CONSERVATION upon Richardson . in
forming him that the Secretary had deter
mined to award the lease to. Gen. Miller-he.
Miller, agreeing to bid as high as Goldstone.
To kick against such official bricks as Bout
we'll, Richardson, Dent & Co., was of course
worse than useless. The Congress was all
one way. and expostulations and protests
were idle The resolution of Mr.. Wood was
mistake in not calling for special committee.
The subject is of sufficient importance to
warrant the expense, and the House should
probe it to the very bottom. Some idea Of
the money involved may be had when it is
known that the Company has never paid less
than $1,000, 900 net profit per annum, and
the customary sum pocketed by the Company
every year is 81, SOO,0OO Let us have spe-
cial committee on this important matter, Mr..
Kerr, by all means.

THE DRAMA.
HOW IT is PATRoNIzED AT THE VARIETIES THE
ATER-A COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF
THE BUSINESS IN NEW YORK
AND NEW ORLEANS.

We publish with pleasure the following let
ter from Manager Tayleure, of the Varieties
Theater, and are sincerely glad to learn that
the theater is meeting with such sub
stantial encouragement. The character of
the plays performed, and the elegance Of all
the stage accessons, certainly deserve hearty
recognition by the public, and we trust the
audiences may increase in numbers as the
season progresses:

gives serious evidence Of the prevailing dizziness.
Yet, SO far as this theater is concerned, We are
affected less heavily than your roma ks would i'll
dictate.
The daily average of our receipts at the Varie-
ties approaches nearly, as our books show, to
$780, and has never III any week OF lts current
season fallen below $780, These results are
meager enough when measured by the variety
and excellence OF the attractions offered yet

ties. and the only means left at this late Pc
Rod to exhibit your dsapprobation, is to
withhold your votes. thereby notifyipg.Con-

The definition of what constitutes an anna
teur oarsman has occasioned no little bicker-
ing among oarsmen throughout the country,
and it is we'll that the National Association
of Oarsmen which met in New York has
finally settled the question by the adoption of
resolution declaring an amateur oarsman to
be one who does not enter into competition
for either state, public or admission money
or entrance fee, or compete with or against a
professional for any prize, and has never
taught, pursued or assisted in the pursuit of
athletic exercises as q means of livelihood;
and who has never been employed in any &C.
cupation involving any use of the oar or pad

l, fellow Citizens remember when you could
not buy barrel OF -four, nor q barrel of
pork, save from him-Gen. Buffers brother.
There is where he made his two millions"
Col Field said this, when he knew that the
court records show Col. Butler to have died
worth less than two hundred thousand dollars.
GEN BUTLER PRoNoUNCEs FIELD A TRAITOR
"And yet, Gen. Butler, when 1 went to
