THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF LOhD ~ NJ
cAuLAY. By G. Otto Trevelysn. fup-
lished by Harper & Brothers, Nex .! .GSa Mo
For sale by George Ellis q Dfo'nof' Nv
80 Camp street, New Orleans
This work is comprised in two handsome
volumes, the first cont aiming steel portrait
of.Lord Macaulsy. The fact that much OF
the matter contained in the volumes was
not intended for publication. particularly
the familiar letters to friends, makes it al
the more valuable as giving an insight to
the life and private character OF the cele-
brated English politician and historian.
The work of the editor in commenting on
and arranging his materials appears to
have been well done, and he has the thanks
of students for compiling and preserving
the sayings and memories of his dlstin-
guished uncle.

The contents of this volume have been
given to the public before. Mr.. G. d.
Webb, the author, is one of the most de-
lighttul of newspaper letter writer's. he
revels in . world of refined fun, and IN
structs you while he makes you laugh. His
parodies called "Liaith Lank," "St. Elmo,''
now republished, were good in their day,
though of NO interest now that the original
stories are shelved. Some of the poems are
good. The ode to Heenan is out of date
and not worth preserving.

CanOnge.
We are pleased to see benefit rendered
to and accepted by Mr.. Placide Canonge,
long an able member of the editorial pro
fe.sion, and for q few seasons impresario of
the French opera in this city. Mr.. Can
oge was, perhaps, too sapguine of the pat
ronage to the lyric drama, aud so was un-
fortunate in his enterprise. Subsequent
experience has convinced the public, and,
we suppose. Mr.. CAnoEge, that the financial
and industrial condition of our city does
not afford the means OF maintaining .
luxury so expensive as opera in foreign
tongue. We will not repeat our reasoning
tor the general decline Of cur dramatic in
stitutions, exemplifed by the unsuccess OF
American managers.
Mr.. CanOnge then, as the victim OF
common dramatic depression, is entitled to
our sympathiee, and We trust the attractive
selections for this evening at the Opera
House, and the cordial invitation from his
fellow-citizens, may prove substantial
testimonial of the social respect in which
he has always been held.

The select committee on federal affairs in

and rapid investigation of the charges of
corruption in the government offices, es-
pecially those which are made with such
appar. MT truthfulness against the New Or

Mr.. Sproule. prominent citizen of the
Crescent City, went before the committee,
and after being assured that his name should
never be known in the connection, gave
some very important data by which the
committee could be aided in their lnvestiga-
tiOns. He stated that his life would be in
danger if the fact of his appearance before
the committee should become known to the
members Of the ring. The committee ex-
pect to finish their work in three weeks,
and will conduct their examinations with
that end in view, as the resolution under
which they were appointed requires their
report to be made ut This session.

The order of the president to keep

New Dealers Triumphant.

Clayton, Dorsey, & Brooks, finding
that they could not force Gen. Bishop
from the head of the State ticket, Mr..
Brooks has, by letter, withdrawn in IA
vor of Bishop, and everything is lovely
in the radical camp, and but one State
ticket in the field. The Gazette, on the
subject, says:
Gen. Bishop has not counted without
his host. He inaugurated the aggressive
policy in his party, and forced the CEN
traI committee to call another conven-
ton, and put a ticket in the field. They
hoped to buy him off with the unteed
honor of elector, but he knew Il game
worth two Of that, and he played the
cards he held. 1t made little difference
to him on which ticket he was beaten
for governor, SO it was republican, and
he waited. He has shown his strength,
and he will get his reward. 1t would be
no unsavory dish for Mr.. Brooks ii he
could be governor, but postmaster is the
summit of his greatness, and he has but
a few months longer to enjoy that in.
If reports are correct, this is the sec
ond Bishop who has taken the place he
hoped to fill Truly, indeed, the gov
ernorship Of Arkansas is "not for Jo-

Not My Bull that is Gored.

The editor of the Argus writes Il long
hypocritical article, ON the situation OF
affairs in this Senatorial District regret
ting very much that there should be
three democratic candidates in the field,
When Mr.. Wilcox saw nnmistakable
s.nns that Witch would be defeated in
the District Convention, he FASTENED to
propose that Armstead and Witch
should both 90 before the people, ignor-
ing the convention, knowing, too, that
when he made the proposition, Mr.,
Parks was already ont. We did what we
could to prevent any arrangement that
would abrogate the convention, believing
that it was our only safety. But Mr..
Witch, having the promise of the radi-
cal vote in Franklin, and Wilcox, insur-
ing him the same vote in Crawford,
nothing would do but the convention
must be ignored and a scramble m le
for the office. 1t seems, however, those
claiming to have the radical vote of the
two counties in their hands, could not
deliver the vote. One Mark Jackson, n
man of some prominence in the republi-
can party, comes to the front, and dissi
pates the little schemes of Witch and
Wilcox for correlling the republican votes
i'll the interest of those two tricksters
Now, Mr.. Wilcox, that pure, disinterest-
ed patriot, proposes that the County Ex-
ecutive Committee rule off one or both
of the candidates.
We have no fears as to the result of
the canvass. Gen. Armstead will be
elected over the secrete efforts of Will
cox, and any trade he may be able to
make with the radicals in this county to
throw their votes for Wittieh Outside
Of Wilcox, there is not man in Craw-
ford county, who opens his mouth in adj
vocacy of Witch.
IF Mr.. Wilcox is so fearful that rad
zeal will be elected from this senatorial
district, how much different is the stua-
ton in his own county, Are there no
fears that a republican will be elected
from this county to the Legislature We
understand that the convention at Oliver
Spring discussed the propriety, long
time, OF Wilcox or Neal giving way, or
that both should yield, and new man
be selected by the delegates. Both of
the gentlemen were called before the
convention, and heard the wishes of del
gates; but Wilcox was dumb as an oys-
ter, and neither of the candidates ex-
pressed a desire to give way that a new
candidate might be put out.
Now, Wilcox, the immaculate, who
loves truth and consistency as a cat does
hot soap--this mau whose noble heart
throbs for Office, as does the starving
mule for its oats--this amiable speci-
men Of unaduterated hypocrisy who
rare y practices what he breaches, thought
he had a sure thing in the promises OF
Grady, to deliver the republican vote to
him, and would not listen to compro-
mise of any kind. IL there is danger in
the one case, there is in the other.

ssg" Try to put something readable in
your paper. Come out for Tilden. Hen
bricks and Reform.-Argrs.
From the howlings of Wilcox, the
Press was, evidently, read by one, at
least. Yes, "Tilden, Hendricks and Re-
form" are good. But how is it with WI
coz, GRADY and Reform? That is the
Argus reform. g Office. office p is the

before the public eyes the UNANIMOUSLY

should hide their heads. Read the Prcsi-
