Mr.. D. bennett is about to start for Phil

the interest OF Louisiana, by the circulation
of his we'll known volume, Louisiana as

at various points on the valuable aud di-

Northern and Western audiences i'll all of

He has faith that the eyes of the North

tho real character of Louisiana and her
people, and that one mode is for lecturers to
go among them with maps and facts, and
armed with truths that cannot be met or

have been so widely published against u.s.

A. 7. Stewart, Deceased.

A telegram brings the sad intelli-
gence of the death of A. II. STEWART,
who died at his residence in New York
at lao p. M. yesterday. A. T. STEW
ART was one of the wealthiest men on
the continent. An Irishman by birth,
he came to this country when young
man. By close application to busi-
ness and strict integrity he soon gained
the confidence and esteem of business
men. His integrity In business has
been proverbial throughout the United
States for many years. He alwaysim-
puted his wonderful success in business
to this single trait in his character.
He never had but one price for an ar
ticle, nor was he ever known to over
rate an article for sale. We knew him
personally and can say of truth that
he was one of the few successful men
who never lost his common sense.
Wealth did not spoil him nor make
him a fool. He was a noble-hearted
man, and we can truly say that
America has lost one of her most use
full citizens.

The Passover.

Feeling inclined to be pious on Sun.
day, We went down to the Synagogue
to worship with our Hebrew brethren.
It was their annual Passover, an oc-
casion memorable in the history of
this wonderful people, and day
which every Jew in every nation on
the globe is inclined to observe as a
feast day because of the direction
given in Exodus, 18th Chapter and
from the Sd to the Goth verse inclu-
sive. And is to commemorate the prov
idential escape of the Jews in Egypt,
when God shifting the first-born of
the Egyptians passed over the houses
OF the Israelites which were marked
with the blood Of the pascal lamb.
This feast was ordered to be kept
throughout all generations by an or
dinance forever. The audience was
large and attentive, and the ceremo-
nies were solemn and impressive. AZ
ter the usual preliminary services on
such occasions, Mr. Edleman, the
Rabbi of the congregation, delivered
an address of thirty minutes; talking
for this subject. "Israel, past present
and future" Past.-In Abraham
their nationality began. They were
set apart as peculiar people, to
be the custodians of Divine truth
forever. All the promises of God
to their fathers have been faith
fully fulfilled, as evinced by history.
Their present distinct nationality,
scattered as they are among all ma
tions is but a fulfillment of prophecy,
and an evidence of Gods peculiar care
over them. The promise of their fin
al triumph and future glory, is yet to
be fulfilled. But He who made the
promise to their fathers was able, and
would perform it. The sermon was
more suggestive than explanatory.
But the speaker showed himself equal
to his subject. The church in this city
may congratulate themselves upon
having so able and exemplary a man
to officiate for them.

Governor irwIn's Patrimony.

Out of six hundred and ninety-one
bills passed by the Legislature, the
Governor vetoed six, and pocketed one
hundred to keep for his private use.
The Governor has more pluck than we
gave him creditor. We are informed
that the most of the bills he pocketed
were the big jobs put up by cliques
and rings, and would have saddled on
the cities and counties in this State
debts to the amount of many millions.
"Well done good and faithful SER
want, thou hast been faithful over a
few things, we will make thee ruler
over many things" We have been
informed that some of these bills
would have added several hundred
thousand dollars to the debt of our al
ready tax-burdened county and city.
We know nothing of any such bills,
except one for school purposes, for
thirty thousand dollars. We were
very much in favor Of this bill, and
feel sorry it was not passed. But we
will not stop to cry overit. Our Board
Of Directors must bridge over the diff
Guilty some how. 1t Is often the case
that what we consider our greatest
misfortunes turn out to be our great

The Treaty With Hawaii.

The NetO York Herald says the bill for giving
immediate legislative sanction to the Sand.
wich Islands treaty, which has been for some
time in obeyance in consequence of the ill
ness OF Mr. Wood, is to come up again for
discussion 1t is to be hoped that It may pass.
1t is a strong presumption in favor OF the
treaty that IL was ratified by the Senate by
large maj jority after careful inquiry ito its
merits. The bill for carrying into effect is IA
vored by the best brain and ability of the
House. The chief opposition comes from an
active lobby in the pay of American sugar
interests.
The Herald is mistaken in sup.
posing that the only opposition comes
from the sugar raisers. All California
and the Pacific coast stands firmly
against it. This treaty effects the
commerce of this coast directly while
it effects the commerce ofthe East in
directly if at all. Except sugar rails
ers we do not see that it has any in
fiuence on Eastern commerce what
ever. In our estimation this treaty
was gotten up in the interest and for
the exclusive benefit of few sugar
planters and fruit raisers. Under this
treaty, not only the fruits and sugar
of all these islands will be brought in
to the United States free of duty, but
thousands of tons will be shipped
from other countries to Honolulu and
from thence to the United States. 1t is
really opening the door for the grand
est wholesale smuggling in the world.
Fair play is our motto. If the COM
merce of one country is to come to us
free of duty, open the doors and let all
other countries have an equal show.
Discharge this army of sixty thousand
revenue officers and twenty thousand
detectives, and support the govern
ment by direct taxation. Those men,
bers of Congress from the Pacific coast,
who are favoring this bill, are looked
upon with suspicion, by ali the peo-
pie, as parties who are trying to feath-
er their own nest.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10.-James
Woodward, barber about 80 years of
age was found dead last evening on a
sofa in his room, in the rear of the
barber shop, No. sos Third street, yes
terday afternoon.
A crowd of hoodlums mum bering
twenty-five, knocked down and Sc
verely beat heathen on the corner
of Mission and Twelfth streets, after
giving this evidence of their bravery
they valiantly descended upon the
wash house of another Chinaman near
by, with stones and brick bats crushed
in the windows and battered down the
doors. One Chinaman who stood in
side received a severe cut upon the
scalp from a flying rock. No arrests.
Saturday night posse of police
made a general raid on Chinatown
and captured Is gamblers and few
lewd women. A large number of 9TH
er gambling dens were in full blast
but as if in defiance of the recent de-
termination of the city authorities,
they have doubled their force of door
keepers and it is now impossible to
gain admittance.
The Chronicle to-day has what pur-
ports to be the expose of the manner
in which the government is defrauded
at the Custom House. 1t is said that
the Custom House ring encourage and
wink at the smuggling of opium and
silks and share spoils. 1t is shown
that they have been enabled to carry
on this nefarious game sometimes
with the connivance of the Treasury
special agents sent here from Wash
ingtOn to ferret out and put stop to
it and in some cases despite the pres
ence and action of these agents.
The Spaulding court martial is drag
ging along slowly, and the Judge Ad-
vocate thinks it will last six months

confined to the first count in the in
dictment, and the evidence since the
first witness has been cumulative
and strong against Spaulding.
Judge Sawyer to-day issued certi-
orari transferring the suit of Charles

Squatterdom.

We went to the front Friday morn
ing to see what progress the squat
ters were making in the location of
public (?) land. Our friend Andrew
Joughin the well known blacksmith
on Aliso street near the corner of AL
ameda, has fine ranch in that vicin-
ity which don't happen to be public
land; consequently his proximity to
the squatters does not excite him, and
to him and his amiable family we are
indebted for the most generous hospi-
tality during sojourn of three days.
This ranch presents from the house
one of the most splendid landscapes
that our eyes ever rested upon, with
the mountains on one side, and the
sea on the other, with view of a por-
ton of this city. Being located on
the Cienega TETON with a United
States patent, friend Joughin is undis-
turbed by the squatters and occupies
the position of the woman who saw
her husband and a bear In fight, not
caring which whipped. The debata-
BILE ground is what is known as Rose
cranz land and contains several thous-
and acres. At the rate at which hous-
es were going up on that tract while
we were there, it will not be long
before it will be completely Gov.
cred wieh "actual settlers,n whereby
the revenue should be very largely in
creased. We do not tske sides with
either party, but are ready to sympa-
thize with those who win. The SQUAT
ters are very sanguine of maintaining
their rights, and those who have
bought and paid for their land are
equally so, but there is so far but lit
tie apparent excitement, and no vio-
lence, the only demonstration being
made by an old gentleman whose
name We do not remember. He was
after man who had not only taken
possession of the land he had bought
but the house he had built. We will
try and keep our readers posted as to
the progress of the controversy.

for her to make an appearance he
struck up a conversation with his
intended brother in law. After
a while the boy asked: "Does galvan-

amused young man; and silence re-

boy resumed: "Kin you play checkers

How Robson Transacts Government
Business Abroad.

The facts about Robeson's mode of
transacting Government business
abroad came into the possession of the
Committee in peculiar way. Beebe,
the Chairman, heard from Wall
street banker that certain drafts made
on Seligman Bros, London, and ac-
cepted by the Secretary of the Navy,
were offered for sale in the New York
market. Nobody was anxious to buy
them, and some indignation was ex-
pressed that the Government credit
should be injured in the market. The
arrangement with Seligman Bros. is
that they pay the Government four
per cent. on deposits, while the Gov
ernment pay Seligman Bros. five per
cent on all drafts made on the firm.
1t is stated that Seligman Bros. have
been in the habit of Immediately put
ting time rcceptances on the market
and realizing therefrom ready money
in addition to the interest. All the
indications are that Robeson drew a
long time draft, intending to pay it
with the appropriation for the next
fiscal year. This is clear and inten-
tional violation of the law, and makes
him liable to impeachment.
