this can not fail to be q brilliant affair.

Holman Making Trouble.

Mr.H6lman also took occasion to give .
rap over the knuckles to the blatant States
rights advocates of his party, Of whom Mr.
Eaton of Connecticut, in the Senate, are
eminent representatives. Mr.. Holman
thinks that if anything has been settled
beyond recall IN the progress of this GEN.
turys ''it is that the sovereignty of the peo-
pie, and not the sovereignty Of the States,
is the solid foundation on which the politi-
cal powers of the government rested: That
fact has not only been sOlemnly established
in the constitution, but has been affirmed
ON every battlefield from the time OF the
hour" Mr.. Holman is clearly becoming
the enfamt terrible Of the Democratic family,
and 10 . very proper subject for being ''dis-
ciplined" in caucus.-Ne1e York Times.

ltems from the Evening Papers.


Yesterday evening the New Orleans Bul-
letin furnished its readers with the follow
ing information:
The transcript in the Newton case has
been received at the executive Office and ls
in possession of the Governor.
In republishing this item the REPUBLICAN
will add just these additional points: l. The
case Of Alexander Newton is still before the
courts and has not reached final result.
2. The transcript in the aforesaid case has
not been received at the executive office
3. 1t is not in the possession Of the Gov
ernor.
The evening Democrat publishes in loaded
type the following:
IMPORTANT.
We have received, too late for insertion,
the copy of q cable dispatch from Amster-
dam, announcing the stoppage of the sale
of Louisiana cOnsOls in that market. The
full dispatch will appear in the morning.
Should the Democrat of this morning carry
out its promise of last evening and publish
in full the cable dispatch from Amsterdam,
to which it refers, it will be found that
the paragraph quoted lacks the important
element of truth. The simple facts are
that one Of the largest banking houses in
Amsterdam. holding a very large amount
Of the new Louisiana console, telegraphed
to their agents in this city that rumor had
been circulated by cable to the effect that
the State had suspended the payment Of
interest on it's new bonds. The agents
promptly laid the dispatch before Governor
Kellogg, who authorized them to reply that
SO far from suspendipg payment OF interest
on the new bonde, the State had already
sufficient interest funds on hand to pay not
only the current January coupons, which
had already been fully paid up as fast -
presented here ard in New York, but also
the coupons coming due next July, and all
arrears.
The two paragraphs are fairly creditable
specimens of the imaginative powers OF the
reporters of our evening contemporaries, but
they do not quite equal the efforts of one OF
the Times men who every now and then
announces some startling movement as be-
ing contemplated by one or other OF the
leading State officials, and when the play
does not come off according to announce
ment, accounts for that little discrepancy
the next morning by explaining that the
enterprise" of the Times il discovering and
disclosing the secret intention of the official
in question had happily prevented the prc-
gramme from being carried into effect.

MIR. Gibson,. Resolution.

Mr.. Gibson, Of Louisiana, offered sensl-
BILE and business like resolution IN tne
House, which was referred to the Commlt-
tee on Commerce, on the subject OF our re-
lati0ns with Mexico. 1t Will Oe Iemem
bered that General Ward, of this city, in q
letter addressed by him to this journal
some time ago, urged the establishment of
a Continental American Customs Union, to
include both Mexico and Canada. This
proposition OF General Ward has been
tayorablv commented on in the Mexican
Diario Official. Mr.. Gibson's resolution is
a move in the same direction. 1t asks for
the Joint action of both Houses of Congress
in favor of a reciprocity treaty with Mexico.
Mr.. Gibson's first object seems to be the ex-
tension by such treaty Of the trade Of his
own city OF New Orleans. But this object.
praiseworthy in itself, could not be attain
ed without bene6ting, and greatly benefit
ing, the most important interests OF the
whole country.-New York World.

New ORLEANS, January -, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
This being centennial year. and every
one hoping for brighter future, respect
fully ask of you tor insertion Of the fol-
lowing. if they should meet your approval,
in your valuable columns, viz:
1t there is one sentiment more than an
other which should be cultivated as essen
tial to that general progress, it is that of
sympathy and brotherhood between all
mem bers of the human family; the rich and
poor favored, should take q deeper interest
IN the poor and less favored. By this it is
not intended so much that the working
classes should receive higher wages or
have as many more asylums founded,
or greater provisions made for them,
but that individually greater personal
interests should be taken in their
needs, their griefs, their inner lite,
their amusements, and their well being,
A single instance may suffice; that Of fam
lily servants. They are as essential to our
care and comfort, of which the interval
between the leaving of one and the coming
of another, gives us lively sense. They
smooth our pillows; they prepare our food,
and spread our tables; they guard our trea-
suree, and seldom abusing the truet; they
perform for us the most 1nenial offices,
which are not spiritualized by any senti-
mont OF DlOOO or klnOfoO; lney care 1Or our
children. often as friendly as We care for
them ourselves; they wait upon our wishes
early and late; they minister to US in sick
ness, and, if treated with ordinary kindness,
though Of another religion and another
race, they identify themselves with our
households, aud share in the bitter
ness of our bereavements, and all this
for compensation which may be all
that fair dealing requires; but
which, after paying for clothing, etc,
and contributing to the support of needy
relatives near by or abroad, leaves little or
nothing saved. Their permanency in their
places of service would be promoted, their
purity, honesty and self-respect would be
fortified, and their condition would be i'm.
proved in all respects, if their masters
and mistressee, and particularly their mis-
treeses, should take q personal interest in
all that concerns them, arranging for their
relaxation and their church going, provid-
ing them with newspapers and books when
able to read, inquiring as to their relatives
and friends, caring for their dress, assisting
in the expenditures of their narrow means
and the investment Of their savings. Civ
ing them wiee but not intrusive council as
to their assOeiatiOne, and manifesting in all
things an anxiety for their welfare.
How much in these and other ways might
be done to brighten their lot and save them
from swelling the ranks Of criminals.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In relation to the card signed by Judge
Evans, which appeared in your issue of yes
terday, SO far as it refers to my cotton in
the premises, desire to state that my
promise to notify him applied only in case
his proposition was accepted, which was to
pay over the surplus of fines over and above
his salary held BY him, or, to put it palmer,
if the city would allow his salary he would
pay the difference, and not otherwise, as
Understood him. The city refused to &C.
cede to this settlement, insisting that he
should pay over the whole Of the fines. and
his claim for salary due be paid in the
usual manner by warrant drawn on the
proper fund. AS he still adheres to his
alternative, can not see that notification
that his proposition was rejected would
have changed the result as relates to the
report of the Administrator to the Council.
and of which he appears to complain, as
far as he is concerned.

How the Dutchman Told the Story Of the
First Sin.


First Sin.
In the good olden time there lived near
Louisville an honest Dutchman, . farmer,
whose worldly possessions consisted OF
patch of ground and ono negro. The old
fellow felt that the negro was loan OF
Providence, and that he was greatly re-
sponsible for the soul of said loan; SO part
of each evening was set aside and devoted
to him for religious instruction. The negro
was . willing scholar and eagerly listened
to the teachings of 80 good master. He
seemed much perplexed one evening con-
cerning the first great sin OF man, and
anxiously inquired of his owner how it all
came about. This old Dutchman was of
course fully informed and, wishing to make
the matter plain and ineligible to his un-
enlightened possession, told the old story
after this wise:
"Vell, dot Lord vas mighty rich man,
und he vas took big field; maybe more as

valks-some dis way, and some dat way

NEW ORLEANS THURSDAY JANUARY

there was another petition it might be con
sidered. He did not say that Mr.. Morgan
was either leech Or benetactor; large
corporations might crush small ones; Mr..
Morgan might control q monopoly; but the
sole fact he considered was that there was
q petition, and the people Of Brashear were
the best judges.

all the railroads and boats in the State and
spent his money away from Louisiana was
nothing to the question. Others did the
same less creditably. Colonel Brashear
lived in New Jersey and had probably forgot

the people desired it.
Mr.. Murrell, with all that had been said,
knew nothing of the bill, but he kne " that
Charles Morgan owned more property AND
paid more taxes than any member of the
house. He was not here to answer any at
tack on him. Every one from England
France, or anywhere else should be well
come to Louisiana, and honoring Mr.. Nor

and railroads. Mr.. Morgan had employed
him before the war, and he found him in
every respect q gentleman, and if all the
signers of the petition were his employees
60 much the better. 1t showed how much
good he was doing by employing so many.
Mr.. Ray regretted to differ with Mr..
Hahn, but believing the bill was the wish
of the majority of the people voted no.
Mr.. Wiltz said he would not have risen
if he had not desired to answer the charge
that Mr.. Morgan had taken money from
Louisiana. On the contrary, he had
brought immense capital here. In 1868 he
engaged to build road to Texas, only ask
ing the right Of way, and offering bond
that the road would be completed in few
months. But he was denounced as mo-
nopoiist, and money was squandered on the
Chattanooga railroad instead. When men
come from the North with money he would
welcome them. MIR. Morgan builds his
steamers at Algiers or Brsshear, and does

Guichard to adjourn, and this motion was
lost by vote Of 9 to 67.
Mr.. Mitchell moved to postpone to Mon

Hahn called for reading, which being cut
off by a motion of Mr. Demas, the bill was
engrossed.
Mr.. Hahn offered substitute, which was
ruled out of order, and Mr.. Billiu moved to
postpone to Saturday.
Mr.. Young said the House ought to settle
the bill this day, and Mr.. Blliu withdrew
his motion.
Mr.. Demas moved to suspend the rules to
put the bill on its third reading, bCr the
motion was lost bya vote of 53 to i9, it re.
