To the Pespae Of The United States:
On our arrival here, in casting about for
approaches to the officials who CONTROL tho
elections in this State, we discovered that
they were all Of one political party; that the
Governor had appointed none but Repub-
licaos supervisors of elections, and that the
returning officers, constituting tho State
board, were Of the same political school.
Influenced by those inauepioiOus surround

Complimentary Concert to Mime. Herr
and Daughter.

Complimentary Concert to Nine. Herr
and Daughter.
Some time during the coming Christmas
HOLIDAYS it is intended to give compli-
mentary concert, in Grunewald Hall, to
Mime, Herr and her accomplished daughter,
Mile. Marie Herr. The date is not yet
definitely fixed, but it will probably be
about the twenty-seventh instant. A num-
Der of leading and influential ladies have
rendered their active cooperation; there 8
not leading musical professor or artlste
in the city but has profered service, ana
the very elite of the amateur musical talent
of New Orleans will take part in the con-
cert.
Nine. Herr deservedly holds the front
rank as q pianiste and teacher of music.
Whenever she or Miss Herr have appeared
in public (which has heretofore been much
too seldom) they have earned the enthusi-
astic commentator of the most competent
musical critics. 1t may safely be predicted
that the approaching concert will lend .
muoh needed enlivenment to the coming
holidays, and the announcement OF the pro-
eramme will be looked forward to with
great interest in musical orioles.

FIRE IN THE SHIP UNIoN.-Just after
dark last evening smoke issued from the
hold of the ship Union, Captain Greenleaf,
head of Henderson street, post No. q, and
an investigation showed that there was
FIRE in the hold. There are 1900 bales of
cotton in the hold, and it is supposed the
fire is among them. As soon as the discov-
cry was made the matches were battened'
and the harbor boat Protector went to work
pumping gas into her. As it asimpossible
for anybody to 60 below, there is no telling
the extent of the fire; but the belief is that
the damage will not be great, provided the
new process is successful. The vessel and
the cargo are incurred, but the persons on
board we're unable or unwilling to say in
what Offices the policies are held. The cot
ton is for Hsvre.

DEATH OF SHANo MCLAUGHLN.-Ab0ut
thirty years ego William Mclaughlin was
born in the city of New York, his parents
being 80 poor that their ofsprinE was com.
PEELED to pick mp . precsrious living % soon
- he was able to toddle about the streets
When able to handle brush and blacking he
polished the understanding of anybody
able to toss him coppers. His constitu-
ton was good one, and he possessed will
that was not easily subdued. With years
his inclinations expanded, and when the
civil war opened he engaged in literary ex-
ercises-that is. he peddled cheap publica-
tions to the Northern soldiers. That occu-
patton eventually grew monotonous for 60
active mind as his was, and he joined the
army in genuine earnestness, but he did not
bear the restrictions long, 60 started off in
another direction. He finally found himself
in Texas, still among soldiers, but be-
fore the war was over he struck
out in another branch, taking kind
sly to pastebosrds that are illustrated
with pictures of kings, queene, knsves and
spots. His smsrtest lessons were received
in G Galveston, and when he began to find
himself able to walk off with the common
run of men, he found Galveston altogether
to tame for his ambition, which was one
cause of his departure for New Orleans
There was another cause, which subse-
quently carried him back to Texas, and he
didn't have to paw his passage either; but .
Jury declared him not guilty of murder, and
there that matter ended. Having tasted
of the delights of New Orleans, he bounced
back here - soon - he gained his liberty
and became . full aedged sporting man,
though he was not reckoned as q brilliant
in that fraternity. Canada Bill'' met him,
and tho pair took kindly to each other, for
6hang possessed nerve that Canada sd-
mired. They started for the great West,
drumming" the Pacific railroad, and COL
lected round sums Of money from verdant
passengers who were not acquainted with
the noble game of monte. They played the
game one time too often, for . hardheaded
miner. after losing his money, became
aware of tho situation, and calling his
friends shout him stopped the train and
put both Shang and Canada out on the
desert plains, without food or water, and
the last then seen of them was when they
were trotting for bit of undergrewth, half
0 dozen wild Indians in the chase. It 10
loosely narrated that the orphans, when
captured, drew their "tools" on the red men
and best them out of their last bit of wam-
pun. However, the pair finally managed
to reach St. Louis, but Shang's exposures
ON the plsins, together with his rather dis
sipated habits, sent him into decline. He
subsequently returned to New Orleans, and
soon after it became evident that consump.
ton had placed its scrswny hand on him.
He fingered on the streets, frequenting his
former haunts, but his spirit was broken
and he became pensioner, so to say. Find
ing himself totally unified for work OF any
kind, his friends, ON his solicitation. sent
him to Galveston, where he died several
days ago, before reaching the meridian OF
life

HELP FOR THE UNFoRrUNArE.-It has
been suggested that our city railroads
would do we'll to set aside the receipts of
some day soon for the relief of the sufferers
by the great fire. They will, no doubt,
favor any movement to promote 90 desira-
BILE an object. Perhaps an appeal to the
premium bondholders might be made, since
to the preference given them by the city
government is in . large measure due to
their neglect Of such improvements as
would have deprived the recent fire of its
disastrous features.

Communicated
A Deeejtful Address.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Were the Rev. Hugh Miller Thompson to
stop and inquire concerning election mat
tors. he would be slow to sign any such doc
ument AZ the one in Thursdays Pcayune.
Nay, more than that, DR.. Thompson would
refuse to sign it in justice to humanity
alone. We understand how Thomas A.
Adams and others of his stripe are eager to
annex their names. Their minds are poi
soaed against any and everything connected
with Republicanism ana the administration.
Samuel Il. Kennedy, DR.. Palmer, and the
rest of them, are men who, tomorrow,
would lend funds and aid for going to war
if they hoped to gain by it. DR.. Thompson
is q man of undoubted ability and, We
think, impartiality. He came to New Or
leans twelve months ago very highly rec
commended, and soon ingratiated himself
with his congregation. A Jealous worker and
hard student, such as he is, must have won
Iaurels. He remained here until the sum-
mer, and then went to Europe. He stayed
there until fall. He has come back, finds
the people excited, clamorous for "thelr
rights" as they ever are when defeated.
Surrounded by Democrats. preaching to
Democrats and listening to Democratic
cries of oppression" he has fallen into
the rut with them, and has 90 far forgotten
his position 40 to sign what he ought to
have known, and what they do know, to be
untrue.
When Mrs. Pinkston stood up and
narrated Q tale unequaled by even the
stories told of Indian atrocities; when she
showed her breast, scarcely healed from
the horrible gashes received in November
only; when others told stories of murders
and like crimes committed for opinions
sake only-could DR.. Thompson have lis.
tened and afterwards have placed his name
to . communication saying shat the late
canvass and election were conducted as
peaceably in Louisiana Is in any sister
STATED" We do not believe it. God forbid
that men should shut their eyes and ears to
such tales, go as 80 sign political addresses
Clergymen as rule are better in the pull
pit than on the stump in political excite
ment. Men who devote their lives to the
service of God must not allow themselves
to be duped by set Of highly honorable
but embittered old partisans. Theology
and it's studies ought to be enough to oc
cupy their spare moments, and should bt
paramount to politics. Were DR.. Thomp
son Republican he would be called
s'dirty carpet-bagger." Had he the forti
tude to condemn these outrages in public
he would be asked to resign, and would be
like all other outspoken Republicans, ostra
cised. But if he wishes to prove this, le
| him on next Sunday vindicste himself. HI
is prey to fre-esters, having lacked tn
moral courage to withstand the powerful
voice of the old ''rebel element" Al.
