his pocket and opened the small blade,
saying: " If you will not let me use the

wife in the right breast, causing slight
wound, and then struck her again over
the right eye, inhicting wound which,
though not serious, partially stunned her,
so that she did not realize what was

becoming alarmed seized the dinner horn,
rushed out of doors and sounded it to
alarm the neighbors.

THE SUREST WAY.

The Louisville Courier Journal, of the 18th,
in the course of an article reviewing and con-
demning the course of Morton, the Indiana
Senator, expresses the following admirable
opinion as to the best and surest way of get
ting rid Of the vices and corruption charac-
teristic of the leaders of the Republican party
at is quite evident that the only way we
can reform the politics of the time is by as
sailing those who practice the vices which
cause the degeneracy, and not by deploring
the degeneracy in delicate and tender terms
The individuals who are responsible for the
depravity must be singled out and made to
suffer. The public attention and the public
wrath must be gathered up and directed
against them. Butler would have been high
in state to-day if Butlerism and not Butter
had been attacked. He has fallen after hard
fght but Mortonism, which is not more de-
cent nor less dangerous, remains. That must
be destroyed too, and it can only be done by
destroying Morton.

upon himself the responsibility of reinstating

is not an officer unless the board appoints
him, and will not receive cent of pay unless
the board gives it to him. This is fight be-

POLITICAL TALK.

The chances of Hon. J. B. Eustis with the
United States Senate were this morning gen.
orally discussed, and
THE OPINION OF THE KNOWING ONES
was that he would be seated. Aside from
being the choice of the Conservative element
of the Democratic party, he is Endorsed by
the Conservative element of the Republi-
cans.
It is not probable that Gov. Kellogg will
issue credentials to Mr.. Eustis. He will,
however, certify to the proceedings in joint
session, and with this certificate, counter
signed by Speaker Estilette, Senator Black
burn, who presided over the joint session,
and Clerk Trezsvant, Mr.. Eustis will proceed
to Washington, and on it urge his claims.
He will probably leave this evening. Pinch

ferson, gave notice that he would, at an early
day, introduce resolution to declare

"THERE Is MANY A SLIP, ETC.,
The Charity Hospital and the State
Treasurer.
Where is That $4,000?

We announced few mornings ago that the
Charity Hospital had been made the recipient
of the sum of $40, 600, being the semi-annual
installment due by the Louisiana State Lot
terry Company. 1t seems that there was
mistake about this matter-a very Sc
rious mistake indeed, SO far as the
Charity Hospital is concerned-for not
one cent has it received of the handsome
sum named. 1t is true, the money was duly de-
posted, according to law, with the State Trea-
surer by the Lottery Company, but that func-
tionary-who, by the way, seems to be run.
ming the Treasury pretty much to suit his own
peculiar ideas and the views of few inte-
rested Observation-Disclosures to pay over the
money to the hospital because, in his opinion,
the Legislature will have to make an appro-
priation for this year before the hospital can
have any more money.
To all demands for this money by the par
ties representing the Hospital he replies that
there is nothing to the credit of the Charity
Hospital fund, and consequently no warrant
can be issued, although act No. II of the last
session expressly says that the annual reve-
nues from tho Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany are hereby transferred to the Charity
Hospital, and there has been no law since to
change the destiny of the money. We are
very much inclined to the opinion that the
present House of Representatives would do
the State some service by appointing COM
mittea to investipata the WORKINGS If tho
State Treasury. If it be all right, the in
vestigation can do no harm, and If there are
Irregularities they ought to be exposed.

Editor NeWOrleans Bulletin:
Dear Sir-It is currently reported, and gen.
orally believed, that the notorious burglar,
Matt. Hogan, IS employed on the detective
force OF this city Does he old adage " set q
thief to catch thief" hold good in this case
Have We not detectives in the city, not on the
force, who are not thieves, and yet who are
competent to track and catch thieves?
ENQUIRER.
10 answer to the above, we can only say
that the rumor about Matt Hogan's connec-
ton with the police force is, we fear, too we'll
founded to be contradlcted. As regards the
old adage "set thief to catch thief" we do
not think it "holds good in this CASE" for
the simple reason that the reputation of Ho.
gan leads us to believe that, if he did catch
thief, and the thief was to divide, he would
let him 60.
And there is another reason why we think
that Hogan can be of no earthly use on the
force, and that is that all the thieves know
him and all the thieves he has had connec-
ton with we'll know that he has reformed !"
and is connected with the police force
The reformation of Matt Hogan is not to be
wondered at. This is the only city in which
he has ''laid his little jobs" where he has sue
ceeded in getting the police to take him up.
In Boston and New York he is as we'll known
as he is here, and he was "run out" of both of
those cities. He came to New Orleans, and
when he found that he was too well-known
to follow his old trade. he reformed" and
joined the police.

THE LECTURE OF O'CONNOR POWER
AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEIPT ION.

Irish wit and Irish oratory need no en-
comium at our bands. AS generation after
generation pass away the luminous lights of
old Erin's patriots and orators grow only the
more brighter and their efulgence appears
all the more brilliant as it shines out through
the distance of years. Whether it be from
some idiosyncrasy of national temperament
or the peculiar school of adversely in which
these heroes were bred, we know not, but
true it is the English language contains few
choicer beauties than have been handed
down to US as coming from the lips of
Irelands heroic statesmen.
In wealth of poesy and stateliness of die
ton, depth of pathos and accuracy of logic,
the efforts Of men like Grattan, Curran and
Burke, stand out still classical, and in their
school models for those who speak our
tongue.
Seldom, if ever before, were we more i'm
pressed with this idea, than on last night
listening to the mellifluous voice of that grace
full speaker and distinguished gentleman,
O'Connor Power, Esq at 81. Patrick's Hail.
The attendance was exceedingly large and
the halls capacity was fully tested, for long
before the hour appointed the throng began
to pour in the Railways, and soon every seat
was occupied.
Mayor Leeds introduced Mr. Power
The orator, with an easy address and grace
full manner, opened his peroration, and the
hall was silent.
Commencing from Henry It's time, ne re-
viewed Ireland's history down to the present.
he showed the religious bigotry of the Eng
lish, and the ruin wrought upon his native
country, but in warm and patriotic sentences
showed how the Irish spirit was yet the same.
Throughout his lecture he was repeatedly
interrupted by vociferous applause, and from
the encomiums passed upon the effort we are
pleased to say that the advent here of this &C.
complished orator is worthy of more than
passing notice.
Tbs evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
