LOUISIANA LEGISLATION.

The Speaker OF the House, after wait
ing in the city for twelve or fifteen days,
for the purpose Of signing the Senate
bills. was forced to leave yesterday,
leaving four bills unsigned, because
they had not come from the Senate.
Among the unsigned bills is the one re.
lieving overfiowed lands from the pay
ment Of State and parish taxes. This bill
is Of very great Importance to large
number OF persons in the State who
really need the relief it would afford
and the parties who are responsible for
not sending the bill to the speaker, are
deserving OF severe condemnation. The
Secretary OF the Senate af1irms that be
is not to blame, and that the RESPONSE
bllity is on the enrolment committee
1t is difficult to understand the delay
and unless it is explained the public
must surmise that there is some Jug
Cling in the matter The four bills not
sent to the Speaker passed both houses
OF the Legislature, and unless there is a
good and sufficient reason for their re-
tention by the enrolment committee,
the delay must be regarded as criminal.
We have had enough OF this sort OF
business in Louisiana legislation. Here
tofore clerks, lobbyists and politicians
have fixed up bills, suppressed bills,

The House will have to amend the
articles impeaching Gov. Ames. The
pardon OF the convict Alexander Smith,
sentenced n short time ago for life. Tor
n shocking crime which deserved hang
ing on the spot, was an outrageous abuse
Of power, and smells loudly OF corrup-
ton. The facts of his conviction are re-
cited in the resolutions OF inquiry, in
troduccd by General Tucker, into the
conduct OF MIR. Parsons or the House,
who is charged with having re-
ceived pay for his agency In
procuring the pardon The petition
on which the depraved wretch was par
doned was signed. not by the people
where his crime was committed, but by
II few persons to whom he was a stran-
ger, residing two hundred miles away
from the scene Of the outrage. Having
fallen heir to several Thousand dollars
recently, the presumption is strong that
he bought his way out of the Peniten-
tiary. An investigation will probably re-
veal the prime agents in the dirty affair,
but 1t requires no investigation TO estab-
lish that the party responsible above all
others for turning him loose. is Adelbert
Ames. The result of the inquiry into
this shameful transaction will be looked
TO with intense anxiety. Jackson Miss

no exception yesterday. Tho various
thrilling scenes and Incidents were well
executed, and Mile. Letourneur and her

everybody, no doubt, will want to see
the drama. 1t Is announced as having
been gotten up with appropriate scenery
and characteristic costumes. Mr.. Eos

New Orleans She is to-day the great
est living emotional actress upon the
American stage. Her recent success in
New York city, at the Grand Opera
House, proves that fact.
VARIETIES THEATRE. IT." Eyadne, or the
Statues" was the play last evening ut
this charming theatre, the risen star
Miss Mary Anderson, as Eradne, being
most eXcellently supported therein by
the Varieties company Mr.. Mordaunt
as LudOUicO, Mr.. Burroughs as COlonna,
Mr.. Egbert as Vu,ceaztO, Oiicia by Miss
Bailey, and the King by Mr.. Geo Nor
ton. The play, in itself u most beauti-
full one, was rendered grandly 50 under
the inspiration OF the genius Of the fair
tragedienne, Miss Anderson, who took by
storm the enthusiastic audience. Criti-
cism fails in the presence OF pure genius.
We can only say that il such a thing
were possible, Miss Anderson cxcellcd
herself, and placed herself higher in the
admiration OF her host Of friends. But
three da, 8 no j md this wonderful
young lady leaves US. Tomorrow even
ing the play is 'Romeo and Juliet" On
Friday night Miss Anderson takes her
benefit, playing Neg MerriHes. A bold
attempt this on the part Of this young
girl, but one in which we are assured
will fully sustain the high position she
has won. We predict crowded house
and one worthy Of the fair young debu-
tante.

Mr. Barlow, President Of the National
Bank ut st. Adams. VT, and senior
partner Of the mail contracting firm Of
Barlow, Sanderson Il Co., testified in
Washington on the 18th instant that he
paid, on behalf Of his tlrm, sometime in
1872, the sum OF $4,000 to stop the in
designations Of a, Congressional com
mittee into the affairs Of the PostofIice
Department. He did not know who
ultimately got the money, but his firm
paid it to a go-between named Ferrer,
who is now dead. One Of the members
Of the committee, JAS. N. Tyner, of In
diana, was subsequently made Assistant
Postmaster General, which office he
now holds. The members of the com
mittee were John f. Farnsworth, Of
Illinois; John Hill, Of New Jersey :;
Ginery Twitchell, OF Massachusetts :,
James N. Tyner, Of Indiana; Samuel J.
Randall, Of Pennsylvania; Charles f.
Porter, Of virginia Sherman o. Hough-

mony of Mr.. Barlow which gives it

"He had brother not that man, but
the other man." the late Mr.. Burton
used to explain TO delighted audiences.
Something like this is the explanation
Of Gen. Peck, the new witness on post
traderships. There is always a brother
in the case. There is Oryil Grant, the
brother whose influence makes and I'M
makes post traders more readily than
Warwick made kings. Then there is a
post trader who gets and keeps his po-
sition bv nursing an invalid brother of
Mrs. Belknap Finally, Gen. Babcock
has a brother A fortunate post trader
is not only supported by brother Bah
cock, but is so grateful that he shares
with him the profits of the berth. Well,
no man can be blamed for having a
brother. ~ T. Tribune. March Is.
