A MIDNIGHT MArINEE.-All matinees are
not necessarily given before the sun ceases
to shine ON this part Of the world, as was
shown Wednesday night, late. There hap
psned to be q goodly gathering of young
men at a popular resort ON st. Charles
street, and whom the clock warned the com.
pany that ''the Last car members" should
move on. An ordinary looking colored man
put in An appearance, stating that he was
legerdemain practitioner, and could stand
on his head and eat hay. He was not ct.
tired in fine linen or purple-qu:te the con-
trary. As the assembled youths were pre-
pared for almost anything that would
amuse them, the stranger was invited to
enter and display his talents. Cicero be.
gan his performance with specimens of ven
t1iloquism, which were really equal to
Blitz's best efforts. Having satisfied his
audience in that line, he modestly stated
that he could do better things. Without q
single tool, excepting such articles rs he
found in the room, he performed wonderful
eleight-of-hand tricks, not q particle less
brilliant than these practiced by professors
who revel in fine regulations. Without
gaudy or attractive surroundings, poor
colored man entertained IN appreciative
audience for IN hour, and ameng those
present were some professional actors. and
each declared that Of all the performers
they had seen in that line, this dissipated
tramp was the best. All his innocent tricks
were executed without parade, ana imme-
diately under tho eyes of every body, yet
with all his address he can not follow the
stage, because he il . colored man.

In q Bad Way,

Inc representatives OF the Times were in
trouble yesterday. The afternoon edition
of that paper divided Lieutenant Governor
Antoine in very supplementary way
and made him open the whole General As.
sembly by calling both Houses to order at
noon. This, however, may be considered a
matter of etiquette between the Lieutenant
Governor and the Speaker and passed over
But three lines in the morning edition
reused lion, which, though hitherto qui.
escent, has by no means been sleeping "a
asserted. immediately after the passage Of
the Brashear City bill, the attention of the
Speaker was called by Mr.. Butler of Ascen-
sion. So rarely is this the case that the at
tention Of all was attracted and it was evil
dent q matter of the greatest importance
was ready to be brought before the House..
An inkling of the subject seemed to have
been brought by some little bird to the
knowledge of some Of the members. Mr..
Demas strenuously objected and urged tho
member from Ascension not to allow those
who had tried to have him to make q bur.
lesque Of himsef to have any influence
with him.
It was evident, however that Mr.. Butler
put no faith in Mr.. Demas and was deter
mined TO be heard. Mr.. Hahn, therefore,
in the kindness of his heart, said the mem
Der had risen to q privileged question and
he ought to have an opportunity to state
it. He suggested that Mr.. Butler. who had
been the most quiet member of the House,
should BY consent occupy his seat, which
was Immediately granted.
Mr.. Butler then advanced with slip of
paper, which subsequently proved to be
resolution, in the handwriting of gentle.
man familiar with the byways of Csron
delet street, and addressed the Speaker.
He said he wished to call the attention of
the House to what the reporter of the
Times had said of him. 1t was this, under
the head of "Pints OF ORDER
''Mr. Butler, Of Ascension, slept the sweet
unconscious sleep of mental paralysis.
Mr.. Butler, of Ascension, still slept" .
Now, Mr.. Speaker, this is . reflection on
me that l slept on my desk while Mr.. Esti-
lette was speaking. If the reporter would
just attend to his duties and leave me to
attend to mine he would have more correct
reports. No member on this floor has
attended to his duties better than l. have
always behaved myself as q gentleman,
and ii thought was not going to do so
when was elected would not have taken
my seat. l emphatically deny the charge
that was asleep at any time. was awake,
and always am awake, even If don't make
as much noise a. other members.
He asked and obtained permission to in
troduce the following resolution:
Resolred That the reporter of the New
Orleans Times be brought before the bar of
this House and made to apologize for assail-
ing the dignity of q member on this floor
unjustly.
Mr.. Ray, although Mr.. Demas objected,
was willing to suspend the rules, but on
Mr.. Hshn's asking what was before the
House, the resolution was ruled out of
order. and Mr.. Demas' resolution on lands
and levees was taken up.

EXTRA DEFIANCE OF LAw.-Three par.
ties were accused in the First District
Court of larceny, their names being Sulli-
van, Sam and Wherly. The district attor-
ney found the latter to be the least guilty,
and by his evidence he could convict the
rest, so he made State witness of him by
nol,e proseqai. When this witness left
the stand yesterday Sam seized IN inkstand,
and, in the language of deputy who knows
what's what, ''let him have it in the neck"
Ink and blood and the witness were spilled
without regard to surroundings, and the
prisoners broke for the door. A scrimmsge
of the first class followed, with the addi-
tional interest of not being down in the bills,
and when the accused, soon to be convicts,
found themselves again before the judge,
they were handcuffed and somewhat pun
ished. The jury found them guilty, and for
one Of them at least, Judge Abell may give
the severest sentence.

principle. If the territory and population
of Orleans were entitled to ten or twelve
Senators, it should elect them itself. Again,
the representative districts were altered
and combined, and some given more than
before by the combination. If district
was large enough for one representative, it
should have it. There is another question,
one now before the courts, whether Carroll
ton is q part of Orleans or Jefferson. He
maintained that when the law annexing
Carrollton was finally decided, it would be
considered unconstitutional, and Carroll
ton, part of Jefferson, and the sixteenth
and seventeenth wards no longer part of
New Orleans, and the constitution pro-
hibits the division of parishes. Besides,
in all humility and Difference to my Re.
publican friends, believe that the passage
of this bill will be the death knel1 of the
Republican party Ia member-"So do 1T
and never will give my vote to destroy
party to which belong. I vote no.
Mr.. Murrell lin spite Of objection by Mr..
Demas) said he proposed to vote for the
bill because it pleased his people. They had
only one Representative. This bill will
make them happy, and makes me happy.
This bill gives them two Representatives.
Mr.. Demas (so:to voce)-I hope you won't
be one Of them.
Mr.. Walker had many objections to the
bill, but he believed that every one he rep
resented would consent to be deprived of
one-fourth of their representative rights,
and make the same sacrifice he had, in the
interest of the State. He concurred with
Mr.. Lowell, that the bill was the death
knell of the Republican party. 1t
was not such as Louisiana needs
and demands; not such law as
equity and Justice to the State required.
The Senate was, under the constitution of
1868, framed by body that did not repre-
sent the interests of Louisiana, but for the
purpose of perpetusting Radical rule in the
State. Under the present apportionment,
the party represented by the majority on
the floor had twice carried the election, and
90 sure a. he stood there it would carry it q
third time. It would open tho door to the
right and justice; that belonged to them,
and therefore he voted yes. 7s-.s.
The bill passed by vote of 50 to IA.

A SENSIBLE DETERMINATION. The Jackson
Democratic Association Of Washington has
acted sensibly in declining to participate in
the proposed democratic celebration at the
national capital next Wednesday and in adj
vising its abandonment. The association
fears that, in the present excited state of tho
public mind, political celebration claim
ing to be held in honor Of the election of q
Presidential candidate whose success is not
yet assured might lead to some trifing diff
fculty which could easily grow to the
dimensions of riot and bring suffering to
many innocent persons. The proposition
for the demonstration probably originated
when the election of Mr.. Tilden was re-
garded as beyond peradventure It would
be very unwise to carry it out, now that the
result is still in doubt. 1t would seem like
an attempt to forestall the action of the
States whose returns are yet incomplete,
and would not help the democratic cause.
1t is to be hoped that the democratic leaders
will profit by the advice Of the Jackson
Association and abandon celebration which,
under existing circumstances, would be
ridiculous if it were not dangerous.

lie robbery. could not afford wages u
labor has had its just influence; for in
some parts Of Louisiana dozens of costly
sugar plantations are not worked because
their owners cannot afford to run the risks
Of crop with the prevailing high taxes.
1t must be remembered that all these pleas
against the republican party were inces-
sanity and properly urged upon the colored
voters during the past canvass, not only by
the whites but by men of their own race.
Thirty colored speakers. prominent and in
fiuential men, canvassed Louisiana on the
democratic side, while on the repub-
lican side such influential colored leaders
as Pinchback were silent and absent
from the State. Nor is this ALL We
are not to forget that in the course Of
years the relations between the races have
become more kindly and confidential, and
thus the natural and just influence OF
intelligence and property was brought to
bear upon the colored voter.
Whether the three disputed States have
cast majorities for Tilden or Hayes remains
to be ascertained. But if they or any of
them have gone democratic it would be alb
surd and mischievous to claim that this
would be primd fdcie evidence of fraud or
intimidation. On the contrary, it ought to
be expected as the result of natural md
proper causes. causes so numerous Vel
strong that except for the federal interference
during the canvass we should have conf
IDENTIFY expected such change, and even
now the presumption lies, it seems to MS, IN
favor of the democrats rather than the re-
publicans
