SEPTEMBER 28, 1876.
The Fall term Of our Circuit Court COM
menced on Monday. Judge Owsley and
Commonwealth attorney Denny are both
at their posts. and appear in fine trim for
the heavy dockot that awaits them. There
is the usual attendance Of lawyers from the
neighboring towns, and the hotels, for the
nonce, are doing a thriving business. In
fact, everybody seems to be doing we'll ;
and are, consequently, in good humor
Col. T. d. LovErr, Chief Engineer Of
the e. $. Il. r., passed over the line las
week. The object Of his visit, we learn,
was to revise the classification Of some o
the work, AMI to formally accept the com
pleted sections Of Mr. Cummings. Golf
Lowell, as yonr readers know, some time
since rendered his resigna ton; but the
Trustees have, so far, refused to sccept it.
The reasons assigned for his action are that
the Trustees had abridged his authority by
sppoi ting an independent officer TO take
charge Of the track, and motion that was
some time since made in the Board to re-
duce his salary. lie Informs us that he has
not withdraw his resignation, but il is still
in the hands OF the Trustees, and hopes
that they may conclude tn accept il, as he
can make more money with less worry than
his present salary, which, We understand, is
$4,000.

THE Democratic party charges the
Republican party with extravagance
in the War Department, the Navy
Department, the State Department,
the Treasury Department. the Interi-
or Department, the Post Office De
partment, the Department Of Justice,
and in the House Of Representatives.
These charges, one and all, can be and
have been proven time and again.
The Democratic party now meet them
face to face on the stump an! else
where, and defy them to successfully
contradict the charges.

SOME of our Kentucky exchanges
object to the circulation Of Harpers'
Weekly newspaper in the South. For
our part, we do not object to it. The
very fact Of the circulation of the lying
and vulgar cartoons and editorials Of
that paper will prove to be its final
death. No one except ignorant peo.
pie who have not sense enough to de-
tect the aimsy character Of the con-
Germ would be at all influenced by
what it sends forth to the country.

Smith, We have not the least objection but
would congratulate him On the exceedingly
great improvement over his present csndi-
dates; though u he thinks, by appearing to
favor the prohibition ticket, that he will add
to the vote Of his own th'eving party by in
ducing q few Democrats To vote for Smith,
then he is a d--ashed sight bigger fool
than even the nonsensical bosh that he gets

CINCINNATI ladies who are in feeble
health, with lack Of blood in their
systems, go to fashionable" butcher
stalls and drink fresh blood from
slaughtered beevcs, TO- the purpose Of
afording them nutriment. The Gin

for this. and It is no doubt true. The
blood drinking goes on as lively as the

The erratic Henry A. Wise, who
died recently in Virginia, was, strange
to say, in favor Of the election OF
Hayes and Wheeler. His best friends
marveled at such a thing. However,
such course rs he would have pur-

would have been in keeping with the
eccentricities Of the man.

The canvass for Governor over in
our neighboring State of Indiana is
the most holly contested Of any ever
held there before. From ten to thirty
speeches are made every day and
night. Other States have sent orators
of both parties there to aid in the can

will be elected over Harrison, the Re.
publican nominee. lie is a grandson
of old general Harrison, and is run

grand-sire, while Williams is banking

DR.. Gustave Devron sent the following
communication:
OFFICE SANITARY IssrEcroR. THIRD DrsTxlcr,
New Orleans, March %, 1876.
DR.. B. c. White, President Board Of Health:
DEAR SIR consider it my duty to in
form you that DR.. Hayes. the proprietor OF
manager of the Smallpox hospital, con-
tinues to disobey the sanitary ordinances of
the board, and that unless he be compelled
to, the other physicians will soon initiate
him. and it will be impossible to arrest the
progress of smallpox. DR.. Hayes is the
more reprehentible, from the fact that he
being pecuniarily interested in the existence
of this mcst loaths0me disease, it would
seem that he was using all the means in his
power to c0unteract the efforts OF the sanl-
tary inspectors to check it.
During the month of March he has visited
at least eight cases of smallpox. and has
failed to report any of them to the board,
| a. 1t is his duty to do; four of the above
cases were also seen by DR.. Zingler who
| likewise failed to report them, and they
we're only discovered by the fact that DR..
Hayes gave . certificate for one OF the cases
whom he did not see until dead, having
thereby performed the duty of the coroner.
The attention Of the city physician having
the supervision of the small pox hospital OF
said DR.. Hayes should be called to the
groes carlessness with which the inmates
of the hospital can have intercourse with
| persons on the outside, and to the want of
| isolation of said hospital which. in my
opinion, has produced nearly all the cases
OF smallpox in this district since January
| l, 1876.
During the whole of 1875 we had only
| tftv- -four cases in this district, none on Jan
nary l, 1876 But since then smallpox pa
tents being sent to the Hayes hospital, we
have had one case in January, twelve in
February. and thirty in March, to this day.
Four of the cases were in premises cor
ner of Liberal and Eiysian Fields streets
opposite the wards Of the small .pox hos
pital.
Yours, respectfully,
| GUSTAVE DEVRON,
Sanitary Inspector, Third District.

The financial matter coming up again il
was shown that the deficit would be over
1000. The quarantine stations produced
nothing and the General Assembly had
provided nothing. Unless the Governor
would give the revenues of the registration

Amuse0ents.

The play at the Varieties Theatre last
night was the operatic drama, Of "Gay
Mannering." produced for the purpose OF
allowing Miss Mary Anderson to make ner
first appearance % Meg MerriIies. Tho oc-
casion called out Q theatre full OF the best
of the New Orleans patrons OF the drama
In speaking of the character assumed BY
the young actress, memory will 60 back to
the great queen of the tragic drama just
laid to rest at Mount Auburn. No enc who
has seen Charlotte Cushman - Meg MerriIics
can forget the electrical effoct of her first en-
trance. where she darts from the Gipsy hut,
and with outstretched arm stands rigid and
transfxed for many minutes at sight Of
Harry Bertram. The play of "Guy Man
nering' has had singular life. Nearly
sixty years ago it was popular solely on
account of the music as sociated with it
and in this country it was first acted to
give prominence to tenors like John Bar
ham, who acted Bertrana. The part Of Meg
was almost created by the ge MUS Of Miss
Cushman, and latterly the play has kept
the stage on her acc ount, and been esso-
ciated with her name, tn ough Meg is we'll
played in this country by Augusta L. OAR
gan and Emma Waller. 1t would be un-
Just to compare Miss Anderson to any OF
these trained actresses. She has yet
to master the part and make it her
own. Considering her as Young
girl, new to the stage, her assumption OF
the part proved wonderful success. She
did not appear as an imitator, but as be-
ginner, trying to do her best, and she
played to an audience most willing to ap-
plaud and sustain her efforts. If anything
the audience was too lavish of praise, and
Miss Anderson allowed herself to spoil the
effect of her first exit by reappearing smil-
ingly in answer to calls. In tragedy an
actor should be unconscious of all but the
business and characters of the play. The
death ecene was we'll acted, and the
atte nuon to that and the. applause
which followed is something for
Miss Anderson to be proud of in
the future. No actress has ever had bet
ter start on stage career, and che has
many friends here who hope she will hold
the place she has won and 60 successfully
| onward. The play was not particularly
we'll acted. The remembrance Of Frederic
Robinson 40 Dandic Dinmont told against
/ the uneven attempts of Mr.. Mordsunt, and
Mr.. Polk failed to grasp the simplicity OF
the Domino. Miss Annie Bleakley made .
charming little Lucy Bertrdn, character
| ingenious and in her line, and in the second
act she sung the lullaby song sweet enough
\ to call for an encore. Such of the music OF
the piece as was given was well rem
dered. and Mrs. Chanfrau, the man.
azeress of the theatre, showed her
| interest in the success of the piece to such
an extent that she appeared herself in the
Gipsy scene and led the chorus. At the
end of the play Miss Anderson was called,
and was the recipient of several fora
tributes. and on behalf of the Washington
Artillery was presented with purse and
medal of considerable value, Mr.. james
making few remarks with the presenta
ton suitable to the occasion.
