The English papers are occupied just now
with one Of the most amazing exhibitions OF
snobbery ever seen in the British army. A
young officer having got drunk and behaved
dsgracefully in public has been sentenced by
the Duke of Cambridge to wear his uniform
constantly for one year. That is, his soldier
clothes are considered as equivalent to con-
victs garb, and the shame Of wearing them
when not on duty is regarded as equivalent to
that which the striped jacket or the
galey-brand brings upon another class of
offenders. Nothing, says the New York
Tribune in commenting on this affair, could
more plainly mark the difference between the
English and Continental points of view in re-
spect to military service. A German is as
vain OF his uniform as he is of his nationality
He would as soon think of disappearing Bis
marck as Of speaking disrespectfully Of his
pickelhaube.
The Austrian trails his sabre proudly
through the gravelled walks of the Volksgar-
ten, and the Magyar would scorn to deprive
the world of the privilege of admiring his
shapely legs in their skin-tight integuments
Among the Latin soldiers there is the same
matter of course acceptance of the theory that
an officer of the army should not object to
wearing its distinctive apparel. But in Eng
land the fashion has been set by those who
are more swell than soldierly, that an officer
should never be seen in harness except on
parade, and it has attained the force of social
law. Still, it is none the less surprising that
the Commander. in Chief should commit the
blunder of joining in this movement against
the uniform by making it an absolute badge
Of disgrace. After his recent sentence, no
officer. not under condemnation, will dare
appear of duty III his army clothes, lest he
should be mistaken for the young BOBBY who
is compelled to wear them.

To New Orleans Bulletin:
Ii Sheriff Kaufman was as well known else.
where as he is here I would not notice his
last telegram announcing that no arrests of
late violators of the peace we're made, and
that the Mayor and Constable were and are
unable to make arrests and preserve the
peace. Kautman's faculty and habit Of
meddling with every business except his own,
and his disposition to exaggerate every little
thing and particularly of q bloody shirt y
tendency. are SO well known that people here
have but little confidence in his statement,
and people elsewhere, judging from his late
kilograms and correspondence with the At
torney General, have, | doubt not, formed
the same estimate of him. B. F. WHITE,

The House..

The House.
At IL o'clock Speaker Estilette called tn
House to order. The roll was called, and s
members found present
The proceedings were opened with praye
by the Rev. Mr.. Cranberry.
After the reading and adoption of the min
utes, the following committees were an
nonnced:
Committee to Investigate Charges-Wiltz
Kountz, Mitchell, Hahn and l. ,visee.
Committee to Investigate Books and Ac.
counts OF the State Superintendent OF Public
Education-Kldd, Aldige, Pascal, Lane and
Baker.
Mr. Heating, OF Caddo gave notice that he
would introduce bill to authorize the Coun-
Gil to levee police and other taxes
Mr.. Murrell gave notice that he would IN
troduce bill to repeal the bill relative TO
public printing.
Mr. Hahn III de the point that no notice Of
bills could be given until the Apportionment
bill had been passed. The notice of bill
was an essential part of the passage OF the
bill.
Speaker Estilette said that it was not; it
was merely proceeding to facilitate the pro-
ceedings Of the House, and had no bearing
on the passage.
He ruled that the point was not well taken.
Several other notices were given OF inten-
tons to introduce bills.
Among them was notice by Mr.. Kidd, Of
Jackson, of bill repeating Act 81, relative to
Public Administrators; notice by Mr.. Hill,
of Ouachita, that he would introduce an ap-
portionment bill.
Mr. Demas called up the following resolu-
ton, introduced by Mr.. Hahn:
Resolbed, That a committee Of seven MEM
bers of this House be appointed by the
Speaker, to be known as the Committee on
Apportionment, whose duty it shall be to
meet with similar committee of the Senate,
and draw up and report, without delay, new
apportonment Of Senators and representa-
tives in accordance with articles twenty-one
and twenty-eight Of the Constitution Of the
State.
Resohaed, That the Senate be notified of the
appointment of this committee.
Mr.. Hahn moved to adjourn until Monday.
He wanted to give everybody chance to a.
tend the Democratic Convention
Demas made the point that while he held
the floor no motion to ijourn could be enter
tanned. The point was declared well taken.
Demas moved to adopt the re solution, and
Mr.. Dupre of Orleans moved to table that
motion.
The yeas and rays were demanded and
called, and the motion to table prevailed by
vote of IS TO 80.
The motion of Mr.. Hahn to adjourn until
Friday at II NJ. prevailed.

THE LEGISLATURE.



The Senate met at noon this day and c anne
To order. Nineteen members answered tc
their names and a quorum present. Prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Dardis.
The reading of the minutes of the previous
day was dispensed with, the usual routine Of
business having been tra' sacted.
Mr. Alexander stated that the journal was
incorrect, because it did not give Mr. Green
credit for the number Of votes actually cast
for him.
There was some dispute over the question,
but the matter was allowed to rest.
Executive session was then called.
After the executive session was raised, Mr..
Allain introduced resolution providing Tor
the appointment of a committee of three to
investigate the books of the Crescent City
Live Stock and Slaughter-House Company.
1t was laid over under the rules.
A motion to adj urn until to-day at II A.
