MONsEIGNRU1 PERCmE LEAVES POB
ROME,

We are informed that his Grace the Right
Rev. Archbishop Perche will, In the beginning
Of January, undertake a journey to Rome, &C
companied by the Rev. Father Allen, OF st
Patrick's Church. The object OF the trip t.
Rome Is to lay before the Supreme Pontiff ar
account Of the situation. both financial and
spiritual, Of the diocese OF New Orleans. His
Grace has for q long period OF years been II
charge Of q large diocese, necessitating
almost constant care and labor on his part
and now he feels the weight OF years upon his
shoulders almost doubled by his arduous
labors.
Monseigneur Perche intends, also, to ask OF
the Pope that he be allowed to have a CO.
adjutor, one who could help him to fdlfill his
task with more tranquility and rest than has
been his custom for many long years.
1t is said that Father Aliens name will be
suggested to Pope Leo XIII for that Office.
His Grace, like q true soldier Of the cross,
has long and patiently fought the battles OF
the Church In his diocese and now that years
have heaped their burdens upon him, It is
but just that he be given a fellow-soldier to
help him In the performance of his duty. 1t
has been rumored that he intended to resign
but this Is only idle talk-a soldier never for
sakes his trust; he only calls comrade to
help him along, and Archbishop Perche,
though able to plOd along, will not scorn to
be assisted, especially II his coadjutor be the
Rev. Father Allen, whose name Is hallowed in
every Catholic home OF New Orleans.

ton for the silver pitcher by company teams
brought number Of our best marksmen to
the targets, and after lively contest the
Washington Artillery were successful with O
total score Of 273, the Continentals second
with 264 points. Special mention must be
made Of the scores of Messrs. Charlton, Nc
Quithy and Arms, who led their respective
teams. After the match contest for silver
pitcher was announced and as the score be-
low will show, it was nobly contested for, Mr..
True, of the Continentals, being the success
full marksman out OF twenty-nine entries /:
Fl. II. True %, II. b. Thomson u, w. Arms q,
number OF 10 and 10 points by other aspirants.
The Continental Guards were courteous
enough to allow the Washington Artillery
to substitute man, thereby hurting their
chances of success.

THE YELLOW FEVER COMMISSION,

Last evening representative Of the DEMO
Graf met Senator A. s. Paddock, of Nebraska,
at the st. Charles Hotel, and from him learned
Of the probable course of business on the part
Of the joint sub-congressional committee Sc
lected to inquire into the yellow fever, Of which
committee he is member.
Already there are here on the part Of the
Senate Messrs. Lamar, Paddock and Eustis,
and on the part of the House Hon. Randall
Gibson, and Gen. G. E. Hooker, of Mississippi,
will arrive to-day.
Senator Paddock states that the commits
sion will commence work promptly at II 80
o'clock q. m. to-day, the first business being
that OF organization. After this testimony
will be hurried on, as the time is limited, and
1t is expected the sessions viii be protracted.
The objects to be considered are. first. the
nature OF the disease and its characteristics
from a scientific standpoint; next, whether it
Is indigenous or not.
elucidated, the commission will take the tes-
timony Of our leading business men as to the
effects upon commerce Of q general quaran-
tine law. Under the latter head several Inn
portant questions are involved, and it be-
hooves our merchants to present to the COM
mittee carefully prepared statements relative
to this subject.
Mr.. Paddock said that the questions in
volved were serious ones to the whole country
and the labor would be great as 1t was desir-
able for the Senators to be in Washington
when Congress reassembled.
Regarding the duration Of the session he
expressed himself as being Of the opinion that
it would be short, and only general legislation
would be had. The quarantine bill, the APP
preparation bill and q few others would be
taken up, but beyond these very little would
be done.

ADJUSTMENTS.


At the st. Charles Theatre last evening was
one OF the greatest ovations that any player
has ever received In New Orleans. For full
three or four minutes after he appeared on
the stage he was unable to speak, owing to
the continued cheers that greeted him from
every part OF the filed auditorium. When he
finally was permitted to express few words
Of thanks for this warmest Of receptions, he
was again saluted by volley Of applause and
o round OF cheers that must have really done
his heart good. And the greeting was not
only due to him as New Orleans boy who
has worked himself up Into public esteem, but
It was deserved, as the sequel proved. His
Ethiopian delineations were excellent and
really Niger and side splitting.
George II. Goes, who Is the companion Of
Luke, we are also glad to say, was enthu-
siastically received. His banjo-playing and
his ballad-singing were deserving Of the ex-
pressions OF appreciation from the public. Mr..
Goes possesses q fine, flexible tenor voice, adj

evening at the Synagogue Of the Dispersed
Of Judah" was based upon the eighth verse
twenty-ffth chapter Of the First Book Of
Moses.
Preceded by an eloquent prayer, in which
he invoked the protection Of the God Of Israel
In favor OF His select people. the reverend
rabbi held bis large audience spellbound for
fully half an hour In dlscoursing upon the
duties Of man to man, the benevolent features
Of the order Of B'nai Birth, the four lodges Of
which, In this city. had combined to meet, and,
with imposing and appropriate ceremonies,
| commemorate the worth Of those Of the order
who died during the yellow fever epidemic
last summer.
The solemn aspect OF the interior Of the
temple hung from floor to dome with MOURN
full drapings, lent to the touching words OF
the minister Of God a most impressive effect.
Tears were seen rolling down the cheeks Of
many, and means were heard that bore with
them painful recollections Of dreaded past,
the desolation Of many homes and consol-
ing belief that the deserving dead are not
always forgotten.
For there were numbers present who came
to mourn the loss OF cherished father,
mother, brother or sister, and mothers whose
darling children had been wrung with scarce
q warning from fondling arms.
Sorrow was depicted upon every face when
the eulogy Of the dead closed, and to add to
the solemnity Of the moment the choir broke
forth In doleful strains, Thou art our Rock
and Redeemer," followed by the beautiful
hymn, Look Down, 2 Lord, which was

POLITICAL TALK.

Az the day for the meeting of the Leglsla
ture approaches political interest Is reviving
after It's sleep since the election, and ono
moro on the streets can be heard the wind,
prophecies OF inciplent statesmen.

the disagreeable weather, WIGS full Of thos,
who are fond Of indulging In sly mods ant
winks. and the II would II could" Of Iago
One could hear almost any report that h.
pleased, from the certain election OF Col
Crane to the Senate to the exact composition
Of the Legislature on the constitutional con
vention question.
A representative Of the DEMOCRAT callet
upon several Of the better informed, however
and learned their opinions ON the subject.
From what was gathered 1t is safe to say
that the session will be u short, very shor,
one, and that there IL handsome majority
In favor Of en- early call Of the convention
Is the country In favor Of this, but from the
Not only city delegation there will be given
q reserve corps when the question comes up
There IL considerable discussion as to
whether the convention will reserve the pres.
ent parties In power In their places or not
It 10 reported that some opposition TO the
convention has been created by the report
that II would change the whole administra-
ton, and not adopt d saving clause. This ID
oil surnlise, for no ono can know anything
about II.
The election OF United States Senator at
tracts the attention OF the qutd ns,,cs next,
the candidates In the field, so far as named
outside, being Senator Eustis, Gen. A. 3.
Heron, Duncan +. Kenner and b. Il. Jonas.
As the members arc coming in but slowly,
and as they decline to express themselves Oh
the subject, no accurate canvass can be made
or anything like just approximation. In
fact members, unless they be the workers for
either OF the candidates, speak of the election
as o possible close one but give Eustis as the
the turf.
The Speakership the country claims as Of
right, North Louisiana holding that It Ia en-
titled to 1t, as the State Treasurer, lately
elected, Major Il. A. Burke is city
man. Again. the country is divided, and the
Florida. parishes claim 1t, as SO far they have
received nothing.
Major Monc,ire, who is the champion OF
North Louisiana, is backed for winner, un-
less new combinations are made before JAN
uary 9.
The vacancy caused by the death Of Judge
Egan, OF the Supreme Court has entered
as factor in this question, and it is reported
That Il the Florida parishes get this appoint
ment they will drop the fight for Speaker
