The promised lecture of the Hon. 3.
F. Piexotto was delivered by that gem
tlemen at the Jewish Temple Tuesday
night. Every seat in the building was
occupied and many visitors were COM
PEELED to stand. The speaker was APP
pointed consul by President Grant, in
1870, to Roumania, for the purpose of
aiding in amelioriating the condition
of tho Jews of that province, OF which
faith the speaker lisa follower both by
birth and belief. His address was
mainly Il description of his travels and
observations in Europe, his labors in
behalf of the prosecuted Jews, with eX-
tended comments on the impending
war between Russia and Turkey, and
finally few words in behalf Of the be-
nevolent Jewish order of the B'nai
Birth. The speaker, a native of this
country, though of Jewish parentage,
was clear in his enunciation and used
the best of English. His delivery was
plain and mostly in the conversational
style, free and easy, though somewhat,
tragedian.
Mr.. PieXotto's narrative of his mis-
sion to Roumania was deeply interest.
ing and was listened to with the closes,
attention. This portion of his address
embraced description of the persecu
ton of the Jews in Roumania and = re
cital of the speakers efforts to better
their condition. 1t appeared that Mr.
Piexotto was not only active, but very
successful in his efforts.
The threatened war, the speaker held
was simply a war for the possession o
Constantinople, in which Russi;
hoped to dispossess Turkey. In thi
struggle Great Britain would most Ger
tainly take Turkeys part, in order t.
preserve the balance Of power in Europ

Shortly after midnight, Monday
night, Il light blaze Of fire was discover
ed rising from the roof OF the old Mason
residence on ST. John street, ut the SOU
thcrn limits Of town, owned by Mr.. j.
w. Locke. The house had been the
day before busted and secured prepar-
atory for the occupancy Of a new tenant.
The fire was seen too late to save the
building, but with buckets a couple of
outhouses were saved. The steamer ar
rived, but too late to render much SER
vice. The building was insured for 81
900, subject to the country clause Of
one-iourth risk to the owner. The
house was one of the oldest in the city,
having been erected in 1888 by Josiah
Mason for the wife of his deceased
brother, and built in the old French
style with the frame OF wood and filled
| in with brick.

Runors that the small poN had made
its appearance in portions of the coun-
try adjacent have come to US frequently
of late. There has been only one case,
so far as we can learn-that of a gentle
man living some 5 miles west of this,
who went to New Orleans, to have an
eye operated upon. After returning
home he fell sick with the small poX,
contracted in the city, and died. His
name we did not hear, nor are we as
surcu OF the truth Of the rumor that
some of the members Of his family are
now down with the same disease. We
would advise all persons, however, to
be vaccinated, and to use none but
vaccine virus known to be pure and
safe.

unmolested and to keep the gateway to
the East in the possession of a neutral
power. The speaker said that the Bull
garian atrocities had been grossly eN-
aggerated by the Russians; that the
Mosleins were fair, truthful, honest and
observed strictly their pledges and that
in the unprecedented war, Americans
must side with the Moslenl, since in
matters OF civil government there could
be no sympathy between the free
American and the enslaved Russian.
In this part OF his lecture, the speak
err, we think, exhibited Il sympathy
for the unfeeling Turk not warranted
riots in Corstantinople and of the inhu-
man Turkish butcheries in Bulgaria,
the truth of which, and their cnormity,
are vouched for by accredited agents OF
our own government. 1t is no new
idea that the Bospf,orus is a great bone
of contention among the European
powers; its great importance to any one
government is Turkeys guarantee OF
immunity; but it is something new
when We we are told that the Turk, so
long notorious for cruelty, bigotry
and inhospitality is more the friend of
humanity and civilization than the
Russian.
The Speaker concluded his address,
as we have stated, with few kind
words for the B'nai Birth, of which
order there is Il lodge in this city, and
retired with the hearty thanks OF his
entire audience. He apologized, in his
opening, for having to leave the morn
ing folio wing, by saying that he was
in haste to see Gov. Hayes before his
expected Inauguration on the 5th, in
order TO impress upon Mr.. Hayes,
whose schoolnatc tho speaker was, the
necessity and inportanceo of recognising
the government headed by Gen.
Nichols in this State. AS to the fair
ness Of the election OF this government
Mr.. PieXotto had, he said, no doubt, and
he was equally positive that the best
interests of the State required such Il re-
cognition by Gov. Hayes, should he be
declared President. Mr.. Piexotto, it
is hardly necessary to add, is himself a
Republican. He expressed great pleas
urc at his visit here, anI PROMISES! to
return again.

The Ladies' and the Churches of Monroe

The Ladies and the CNufcneS VI AkoAEoS'
The Bnptists of this city have never
had a house Of worship Of their own.
Thew had an interest in the old Union
church, destroyed by fire, and last year
leased the Methodist church on certain
Sundays, but this building was wreck
ed by the great snow storm. The de-
nomination has never been very strong
in membership, or purse, but now Mrs.
Hasley, of Trenton comes to their aid
with liberal donation, which is no less
than an elegant house of worship to DO
erected on one of the most eligible lots
in this city. The building is to. be OF
wood, and will cost, finished, $4,2oO.
Mr.. S. Nelson has the contract, Il sufti-
cient guarantee the work will be hon
estly and substantially done. 1t will
be built On the vacant corner lot
Immediately south Of the Cope'ey
residence, almost in the centre of the
city, and with it's tower and Gothic
style will prove II pleasing structure to
the eve of both resident and visitor.
We congratulate our Baptist friends,
and not to commend the liberality and
Christian devotion of Mrs. Hasley
would be to commit an act Of great in
gratitude.
The ladies of the Methodist church
have organized Il society for the pur-
pose of raising funds to support their
pastor and defray other necessary eX-
penses of their denomination. The
lnisfortunes of this denomination give
it strong claims upon the sympathies OF
our people. Unwise management OF a
large fund raised by its members, left
it with an unfinished edifice, upon
which was expended, with the lot OF
ground, about 81, 900. Debts incurred,
and unpaid, amounted to near So, 900
more, with which the members were
struggling when the late great snow
came and with its weight crushed the
roof of the church and made wreck
of the building and its furniture. The
lot and debris were surrendered to the
creditors, which leaves the Methodists
without even the ruins Of a church, but
happily free of debt. These disasters
appeal strongly to all classes of our citi-
zens foraid-an appeal made by woman
in the holy cause of religion.
And the ladies OF Grace church de-
serve not to be forsotten for their ac-
tive efforts to save their fine building
from being sold for debts incurred III
construction, although their ln!sfor-
tunes have not been so great and disas'
trous as those of the Methodists. They
have, however, done their denomina
ton invaluable service in raising suffi.
Gent funds to satisfy their creditors fol
the present, and may worship in theil
own house without present fear of be
ing molested by the demands Of the
creditor.
1t would puzzle the most active pas
tor, it will be seen from this statement
as it would some of the rest of us, to ge
along without the ladies.

FINE SwoRD.-On the "14th OF
September" in New Orleans, a sword
was presented to General F. N. o.
den Of famed White League leader
ship. This weapon is said to be one
of the finest and most costly ever
constructed, and here is full discrip-
ton of it z:
The handle is gold, representing an
ear Of corn partially protruding from
the husk. The golden guard repre-
sents entwined stalks of sugar cane,
and at the head and guard of the han
die are shaped amethysts. Up
on the shield are the coats of arms of
the United States and the State of
Louisiana in relief. The blade is OF
polished steel, and ornamented with
Col. Ogden's monogram in gold etch-
ing. The scabbard is of solid silver,
ornamented with colored gold, and is a
magnificent piec of workmanship. The
band nearest the hill contains an ex-
quisitely wrought emblem of the cot
ton plant in the shape of rosette, and
the tip bears representation in col
ored gold of the growing rice plant.
The hilt is of Russia leather mounted
with gold, and bearing the coat of
arms ofLouisiana.

The Remission of Tax Penalties.
AN INTERESTING DECISION RELATIVE TO
ACT %, 1877.

Judge Rightor, acting on behalf OF
Judge Houston in the Fourth District
Court in the case of the State ex rel.
Mrs. Cora A Moores vs.. Allen Jumei,
State Auditor, rendered the following
decision, which is of great interest to
all tax delinquents:
The only question presented in the
court is whether the measure of relief
extended to delinquent tax debtors by
act %, session of 1877, applies to those
who have been appropriated under the
provisions of act AZ, session of 1873, in
case the property has been adjudica-
ted to the State. The court thinks
that it does.
The Legislature could not, without
violating article ITO of the constitu-
ton, take away from individual pur.
chasers at tax sales the indemnity &C.
cruing to them under the terms of the
law in case the owner should exercise
within the legal delay the reserved
right of redemption. But the people,
acting through their General Assem-
bly,, had the uudoubted right to per-
nit any penalties in its favor arising
from the delinquencies of taxpayers
1t is contended on behalf of the State
that while act No. % RENTS the penal
ties incurred, act No. 96, which makes
special provision for the redemption of
lands sold, or forfeited to the State,
controls, and to that extent repeats,
the prior legislation. 1t is rule of

1t is believed that, if the Democrats
take advantage of the apathy of GER
tain Republican Senators, it is within
possibility to organize the Senate in
October on Democratic basis, and
thus secure the committees and pat
ronage connected with it as political
body. 1t is quite probable that Sena-
tor Morton's illness will prevent his
attendance, and that Senator Patter-
son will have more concern as to saw
ing himself from the penitentiary than
caring to remain here until extradicted
under national law. To- nights Star,
in discussing the probability of Demo-
cratic Organization says: "Those
Democrats of more sanguine tempera.
ment affect to believe-as sincerely,
no doubt, as they hope-that Senator
Morton will not be in condition of
| g. b II
health to take his seat, and that unless
Patterson and Spencer are assured of
better treatment at the hands of the
administration, that their apathy will
extend even to their remaining away
from their seats, and to allowing the
Democracy to bag the Senate, its COM
mittee and patronage. The case of
Patterson is peculiar one. He has
no real friend in his own party, and
seemingly the least pity his case ex-
cites IS from those of his party collea-
CUES. 1t is suggested, then, that if he
is open to bargain in the matter of
Senate organization, the Democrats
can offer him better terms than the
Republicans. They can undoubtedly
assure Patterson that as reward of
his cooperation, Wade Hampton could
be induced to restrain the impetuosity
of his investigating committees, and
let the pursuit of Senator John end
just where it is. 1t is not probable
that they would invite the South Caro-
lima Senator to commune with them,
bnt that an arrangement would be
reached for his absence. or otherwise,
by means of which the Republicans
would lose one vote when the time
came for the effort to be made to cap
ture the Senate. In view of the close
ness of the Senate, it is almost fore
gone conclusion that the two vacan-
cies in Louisiana will be filled by
Democrats, as we'll as one in South
Carolina. These contests will be set
tied early in the session, as the candi-
dates will present themselves at the
bar of the Senate with their creden-
tials, and as the Democrats can pre-
sent their reference to committee, as
it is believed they can, only three
votes are needed to turn the small Re-
publican majority into small Demo-
cratic one; aud the material is believed
to be in tue Senate from the Southern
