Tildcn and Soft Money.

All the soft money democratic papers
of the West receive Tilden's letter of ac-
ceptance as surrender to the initiation
doctrines of the West. The Cincinnati
Enquirer expresses its satisfaction with
Tilden's surrender as follows:
"There are thousands of Democrats, and of cur
rency reiormers who are not Democrats in Ohio,
to whom this admission or statement will be well
come. 1t is an emphatic statement, for whose
truth the Ohio Democracy have commended 1t is
cOuched almost in the very words of our
platform of 1875, which was SO bitterly
berated. 1t is public announcement by our
candidate, under circumstances of great response
bility, with the eyes of the nation fixed on him, OF
one of the fundamental ideas for which we i'll Ohio
and the West have been contending."

a Rebel Church for Hendricks.

The Denver News has the following Gan item
appears in many republican papers to the effect
that when the war broke out Mr.. Hendricks was .
member of the First Presbyterian Church Of In
dianapolis, the pastor of which, DIR. Nixon,
preached sermon declaring it the duty of loyal
and christian people to stand by the Government.
Upon this Mr.. Hendricks severed his connection
with the church and never returned. This is true,
but il is only half the story. About the same time
the Rector of Christ Church (EpiscopaD in the
same city was a sccessionist, named Horace String
fellow, whose disloyalty was SO pronounced that
his congregation rather summarily terminated lis
clerical abors in their behalf, and he about to
return South when the rebel element headed by
Thomas A. Hendricks, organized church and in
stalled Stringfelow as Rector They built a
house of worship which they called St. Paul's, but
which was better known by various nicknames
suggestive of sympathy with the rebellion. Mr..
Hendricks was one of its first vestrymen, and is
now, or was lately, one of its wardens."

Mr.. Lord, democratic member OF the
House, introduced a preamble and resolve

citizens are legally entitled to protection
under the Fifteenth Amendment Of the
Constitution of the United States, and that
in the judgment Of the House all attempts
by force or intimidation TO prevent the
exercise of the right of suffrage should be
condemned, and that the guilty persons
should receive prompt and effective pun

to the sentiments of q large part OF the
democrats. that they spent two hours
iillibustering against them, but finally
yielded their objections upon being in

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-02-08

Judge J. B. Robertson has made per-
sonal examination of the jetty works at
South Pass, and reported the result in a
very interesting article in the Times of last
Sunday. In the course of it he says:
Captain Eads is under q contract with the
government to give twenty feet of water at
the mouth of South Pass, or at the bar at
it's mouth, before he can ask for any part
of the appropriation; but he is under no
obligations to open twenty feet of water at
the head of South Pass.
Some six months ago the REPUBLICAN
called attention to this provision of the law,
as affording means of escape to Captain
Eads in case of failure. When appealed to
on the subject, Senator West stated that
the understanding of the Senate committee,
when reporting upon the bill, was that Mr.
Eads would not complete his contract until
he had established the given depth of water
from the Mississippi river, through South
Pass, to the Gulf Of Mexico.

Reform Without Opposition.

Governor Hahn yesterday took the initla-
tive toward practical reform of great and
unnecessary expenses. The sherits' fee
bill which he had opposed the other day
had been so modified as to be unobjectiona-
BILE to everybody, the maximum price only
being in dispute. This was finally settled
at forty cents, leaving to the police juries
to pay less if they choose. Mr.. Hahn at
this point moved to amend the last section,
which declares as is usual, that this act
shall take effect from aud after its pas
sage" to December l, 1876, when all officers
now serving would 60 out of office. In do
ing this Governor Hahn eaid he knew
nothing of the rates, but he presumed the
bill caused decrease. It was his desire to
prevent the sheriffs from complaining that
they had been elected on certain legal
understanding, and were deprived of COM
pensation they had the right to expect
This amendment was q genuine reform, for
it left no one any cause Of complaint.

DR.. Hans Won Bulow.

This eminent musician will arrive in New
Orleans on Monday and give his first con-
cert at Grunewald Hall on Tuesday evening
next Rubinstein having temporarily re-
tired, and as List only plays for the enter
tainment of his friends, DR.. Won Bulow is
undoubtedly the greatest pianist before the
public. Music has been the study of his
life; he has led the grand orchestras Of
Zurich and Munich, and both as performer
and composer has been wonderfully sue
cessful. representing an original school, as
little beholden to traditions and rules of the
old masters as Wagner. 1t can hardly be
expected that his piano recitals will en-
thuse the general public, not educated to
the standard of reading poems in the finger
touches of ivory keys, but his performances
will be q treat to advanced players. He
will be assisted by Miss Lizzie Cronyn, a
young American vocalist. Seats for the
Bulow concerts will be sold at Grune wald's g
and at the music store of Ellie, on Canal
street.

The spirited contest for pair of horses
and buggy, which has been pending for q
week at st. Patrick fair between Messrs.
Fairfax, Wsggamsn and Fagin, resulted on
Sunday night in favor of the first named
gentleman. There was very large num-
Der of people present when the award was
made. The result was received with loud
cheers, during which Colonel Fairfax was
introduced by Mr.. Cooley. After returning
thanks for the generous mark of confidence
and esteem, Mr.. Fairfax announced that he
intended to donate the team to the orphans
Of this city, in such manner, and upon
such plan as would be sure to meet the
approval Of all. The particulars of this
generous gift will be made known IN due
season.

every reason to be gratifed with this fea-
ture of his we'll conducted enterprise.

Death Of an Old lawyer

Three of our district courts adjourned
yesterday on hearing the suggestion made
that Lawyer Maoarty was dead. 1t was
matter of surprise to young members OF the
bar, and even many whose hair and beard
are grizzled were compelled to think before
they could place the oldest member OF the
bar, who had just departed.
He was eighty years old, and practiced
law almost all his life. If he held any office
it was too trivial to be remembered. He
wanted none. He desired only clients and
ability to serve them. He was never a poll
tician. Twenty years ago he was thought
by his juniors too old to practice, yet he
continued to appear in court till seven or
eight years ago.
His practice was almost exclusively in
New Orleans. He was learned and wise
a lawyer always, nothing more. Necessa'
rily he was honest respected, and, by those
he served as clients, loved. What little
mark the lawyer pure and simple leaves
behind him may be judged by the fact that
even before his death he was forgotten.
But in his long life and the thousand ser
vices he has rendered those who sought his
aid are more to be envied than the most
triumphant political idol the sun ever shone

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Cubans in this city was held Sunday even
ing at the Globe Hall, corner of St. Peter
and St. Claude streets.
The meeting was called to order at half
past seven o'clock by Mr.. N. Trelles, the
agent in this city of the Cuban Indepen-
dence Association of New York city.
Mr.. Trelles stated that the meeting was
for the purpose of forming society in this
city to assist the President of the Cuban
republic, now residing in New York city, in
securing her independence. He also re-
lated the condition of affairs in Cuba, and
the necessity of all friends lending help
ing hand in order to bring the war to a
close as soon as possible.
On motion of Mr.. Velbin, the meeting
adopted the following name for the society:
..Oberos de la Independencia"-or, in Eng
lisb, "Workingmen of the Independence y
The following officers were elected: Pres
ident, Leopoldo Furla; secretary, Nictorio
Lopez; treasurer, F. Sahngae.
After the election, Mr.. Trelles presented
| a communication from Francisco V. Aqui
lera, President of the Cuban republic, which
was read by the secretary amid loud ap
plause.

to aid the cause of Cuba: Francisco Tage
NJ. Flores, P. Martinez, Lorenzo Felipe
Ramon Morales, l. Sotolorga, Narino Gal
lores. Also, special committee: L. Furla,
F. Sahngue.
| The following resolution, offered by Mr.
| N. Trelles, was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Caban people, during
seven years of war, have proved to the
world that they have the patriotism needed
by the communities to conquer their nation
| aIity. and the qualities required to consti
tute themselves q cold and free govern
ment;
| Whereas, 1t would be great mistake for
| ourselves 10 procure the close of the struggle
otherwise than with tree republic, and we
| consider that the sons of Cuba in no way,
shape or form change the principles pro
claimed in Yara at the beginning OF oul
struggle for the independence OF our dear
Cuba;
Whereas, All other plans or ways which
do not insure US a solid republic Of our owl
would be crime against the constitution O.
q free and sovereign government;
Whereas, the government of Cuba has
issued proclamation, condemning as trai
tors all persons or citizens who shall pre-
sent themselves with propositions not based
on the absolute independence of Cuba;
Resolved by the Cubans resident at New
Orleans, That they accept the said proclama
ton and will sustain the constitution of Cubs
in all it's parts. and will condemn to tn
universal reprobation all those who preten'
to combat the independence and freedom o
Cuba.
