The Central Council of the Property
Holders Union

Held their regular weekly meeting al
Grunewald Hall last evening, the
President, Mr.. Mitchell, in the chair
and a quorum present. The minutes
of last meeting were read and approved
and the regular business Of the evening
was entered into. A resolution indors-
ing the effort to build the Texas Pacific
Railroad as worthy the hearty support
OF all our property holders and citizens,
not only in itself, but because it sought
to impose no burden upon the taxpay-
ers, was unanimously adopted.
A resolution, numerously signed,
from the Fifth District, Algiers, pro-
testing against their manner Of annex
alton to the city of New Orleans, and
being taxed to pay its old debts, in
which they had no interest or ben
eft, and praying to be remitted to their
own government again; was referred to
the General Committee.
Mr.. kooutZ announced that a Joint
committee from each house OF the Leg
islature was now in session on the mat
ter Of a revenue bill, anO would be
pleased to meet the committee of the
Property Holders Union to confer with
them on the matter.
The revenue bill, which has been be-
fore the committee for some time, was
then proceeded with, section by section,
till finished, when, after some amend
ments, it was adopted as whole and
given to the Committee of Fifteen with
power to act in conference with the
Legislative Committees
The committee next proceeded to con-
slider an act regulating assessments,
prepared by Mr. Scanlan, which, after
being read, was referred to the Com
mittee OF Fifteen witt power to act.
After which the committe adjourned.

THE THEATRES.

The ACADEMY OF MUsrc.-The engage
ment Of the popular and distinguished
comedian, Geo. Z. Locke, is very sue
cessful one, and good attendance'is is
always on hand to enjoy a good laugh.
He is brimfull of Yankee wit, and al
ways secures an uproar of laughter and
applause. His play OF High, Low,
Jack, and the Game, or Trumps," Is a
comedy sparkling with ebullitions OF
merriment, and the interest in the plot
never flags for an instant. In the scenes
Of imminent peril to which he is con-
stantly exposed, he evinces the greatest
ported by stock company at the
Academy. The Little Midgets and the
ST. Felix Ballet Troupe still remain at
this theatre, and the charming little
Leonora Felix is gaining some bright
and fresh laurels nightly, and bids fair
to become bright star
The ST.. CHARLES. M lie Marie Zoe,
the beautiful Cuban sylph, appeared at
the Old Drury last night. Owing to
Irregularities in the train, she did not
arrive in time to play on Monday night,
in consequence OF which a farce was
played. The attendance was rather
slim. The acting Of Mile Zoe was very
spirited and dashing. Although not as
beautiful as we expected, she Is very
finely formed, and displays a goodly
degree of taste. The French Spy" is
play well suited to Miss Zoe's capacity
and, we trust, will prove success and
have good run at the st. Charles.
TIE GLOBE THEATRE.-This popular
resort was last evening well filed with
very appreciative audience. The en-
l,tertainment was an interesting one in
Livery respect, and the different per-
'ormers secured a great deal of admira-
b /. on. The farce of the Ape OF San Sal

to obtain heavy insurances on Foods
which he wished to ship. The suspicion
has been raised that he might have been
privy to the loss Of the steamer City Of

lowing that disaster and went to Drea-

Coon SENSE. The Hartford C0uvaus.
Gen. Hardy's paper, says The COR
rupt leaders of the black majority which
controls the State of South Carolina aro
doing their utmost to make the people
OF the North and the whole nation look
with compassion upon the adoption at
any measure which gives the State gov
ernment to the honest and intelligent
classes. The white people of Missis-
ssippi, by sharp practices and ballot
box stuffing, have captured that State
from the negro majority. The black
Legislature OF South Carolina, In legal
and constitutional manner, have elected
to the highest judicial officessin the
State q number OF notorious corruption
lists and incOmpetents. The Mississippi
whites have accomplished a presumably
good result In an improper way the
South Carolina blacks have done an In
famous thing legally and constitutions
ally. OF these two there can be no
doubt that public opinion throughout
the nation will regard the Mississippi
affair as the least blameworthy. /"
The Boston Globe says: We have been
convinced by the events of the last few
years, and are more and more confirm
ed In the conviction every day, that
men of the Conservative party In the
Southern States are much better quali-
fed to control their local administra-
tions, and are able and disposed to give
those States much better governments
than they have ever had, or
have any hope of securing through
what is spoken of there as
+" Radical rule" There the state
of things is the converse OF that
in the Northern States. The intel
ligence, the culture, the best motives
and the most conscience are to be found
as rule In the Conservative party. In
tives Of those who make up that party
are purer and the purposes higher than
those which have animated their op-
ponents. And aside from any theo-s
retical considerations, they form an ac-s
tive and responsible body Of the citi-
zens, and their interest is in good gov

Social Equality Played Ont.

A couple. Of respectable colored men
have called at our Office and informed
lls that contrary to their expectations
and the general teachings Of their lead
ers in politics, there is spirit Of in
equality manifested against the emarl-
clpated, even among the faithful, that
they cannot account for except on the
hypothesis that recently emancipated
cOlored man Is only as good as an nylte
beH,tm free colored man during election
times when the latter wants the votes
OF the former.
Our lnformants say that they were ex-
cluded from Christmas party by Gers
tain leading colored men, of the old
school, on the ground that they wero
freedmen not freemen like themselves.
They also say that heretofore the per.
sons who propose to exclude them from
hlgh-colored society have led in poll
tics and have hoodwinked them with
fine teachings about social equality and
yet In the face OF these teachings refuse
TO accept their own teachings and place
recently freed people who are i'm every
way their equals.
These colored men say they are dis
gusted with, not SO much the treatmenf
they have received at the hands Of the
leading Radical free negroes, as With
the outrageous falsity of the promises
long made by these leaders, and as VET
unredeemed, as well as their Janus
faced conduct, which in every way shows
them to be void of true moral honesty
in their teachings to the "slave class
OF the doctrines Of social equality. They
say they are done with such leaders.
and intend to throw them overheard.
They. say they have never vet been
favored with the present Of that forty
acres OF land and amule from the Gov
ernment they say they have been de-
ceivcd In the matter Of public educa-
tion, and that instead of educating the
uneducated and children, the funds col
lected evaporate before they reach tho
object for which they are taxed; they
say that the sugar-coated pill styled
social equality is about the bitter
est farce that has ever been invented to
deceive q free but religiously credulous
people; they say that when the party
leaders, who have preached such nols-
sense, go back on their own words they
have no further use for them, and they
say that henceforth the Democratic
party shall get their votes and have
their good will.
Ii they stick to their words they will
never have cause to regret it. Baton

CHARLES W. LOWELL,
r. r. KIDD,
JOHN YOUNG.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Murrill to
appoint committee to apportion rep
resentation in the Assembly, In accord.
ance with the State census taken last
year, came up.
Mr.. Kidd said there was no census be-
fore the House, as required by the con-
titution.
Several members said they had the
returns on their tables printed in
pamphlet form.
Mr.. Hahn urged action upon the reso-
luton, since the House could do no
business of Importance until the appor-
tionment was made, the constitution
prohibiting the passage of any bill be-
fore representation was regulated.
Mr.. Kidd presented substitute for
tee OF five to examine the census. If
there had been an enumeration. or what
purported to be an enumeration, he de-
sired to have the returns inspected,
their correctness established, or their
errors corrected.
Mr.. Hahn not anticipating q dispute
on the returns was not prepared to dis
cuss such a question, and upon his mo-
ton the subject was postponed
Mr.. Levissee offered q resolution.
which lies over, that the members Of
both Houses remit their mileage and
per diem.
Messages were received from the
Governor vetoing the bill to change the
ton for the murder OF Bourdenay and
the bill to receive State bonds and State
warrants in payment OF State taxes.
Both papers were laid on the table sub
ject to call.
Mr.. Lowell rose to a matter OF privi-
lege. He was not present when the
resolution OF Mr.. Wiltz, for an investi-
cation Of the charge of bribery against
him (Mr. L.) and others, and he desired
to say that had he been in the Chamber
he should have courted the inquest
which had been ordered. He wanted
searching inquiry into the whole bust
ness, and to chat end wished the powers
OF the committee enlarged. It was u
mistake to say that the oifense imputed
to him had been committed since he
was member of this Legislature. The
election at which this Legislature was
chosen had not been had, nor the can
vass preceding 1t opened, when the act
alleged against him was committed. It
was committed in the Funding Board
and every member Of the Board partici-
pated in It, He, therefore, trusted that
the committee would be empowered to
cover the whole ground.
Mr.. Wiltz proposed an amendment
to the suggestion of Mr..
Lowell and, without transacting any
other business OF public interest, the
House adjourned to II o'clock to-mor-
row.

The misgovernment In the South has
also largely detracted from national
prosperity. Other influences. including
excessive speculation and over-trading,

Imitation is a false remedy and would
