A rumor, indeed, is circulating that so
angry is the Marshal that he declined at
tending the English concerts at the Troc-

The republicans propose holding SOL

THE EXPOSITION.
At length the great fair on the Champ de
Mars begins to lose interest for the Pari-
slams. The foreigners and villagers still
continue to come, but one can hear other
subjects talked of on the boulevards.
JURY WORK.
The jurors are concluding their work and
hope to have the prizes ready by September.
when the usual shouts Of the successful and
howls Of the sighted may be looked for.
1t is always to be remarked that no exhib-
itor in the entire range Of these fairs for the
last quarter of century who did not obtain
a medal or an honorable mention ever ac-
counted for his failure on any other grounds
than rank favoritism. This is human, but
it is widely fe red that there may be good
grounds for it this time. America, how
ever, will have no need to grumble.
SCANDINAVIAN CONCERTS.
The Swedish concerts at the Trocadero
have been successful, the simple and touch
ing quality of the scandinavian music
proving refreshing to Parisians, whose ears
are ringing with Offenbach, Lecoq and
Strauss.

TO SUMMER TOURISTS. q

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
inducements to Eastern and European tray
elers this season. 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. 1t has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has a fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line TO New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running. its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention Is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northe cities. The train leaving at p. m
one hour later than any other line, makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as its
quickest rival; and the q. m. train makes
one and half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There are no through cars to Nep York By any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
Of cars, which is made In Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at a. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains. Those
going by Chicago pass by daylight In full
view Of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change OF cars from New Orleans to New
York.

NEW ORLEANS. MAY IL. 1873.

To-day comes UP before Judge w. T..
Houston, of the Fourth District Court, the
case of the State on the relation of Antonio
Agusti against the Recorder OF the First Dis
trict, In the matter Of the notorious lottery
prosecutions. 1t is not our province to descant
upon the duties OF those OF our tribunals,
which are hedged around with integrity and
honor. Therefore, we do not feel ourselves at
liberty to infringe, in the slightest man
ner, the rights Of parties litigant by
expressing any opinion as to the proba-
BILE result of their cause. But this we
do say, that knowing Judge Houston rs an in
telligent man and believing him to be an up
right Judge, whose judicial career is as yet
unimpeached, we expect much of him. We
cannot fail to believe that Judge Houston will
give his earnest consideration to subject
which for so long a time has exercised the
conservative sentiments Of all our people, and
created On Indignation throughout the whole

Mrs. Kate Southern, who has recently
been convicted Of murder by a Georgia jury.
and Is sentenced to be hung June Il, Is said
to be on the eve Of giving birth to q child.
This will Of course necessitate q reprieve, al
least, as 1t would be clearly In violation OF
law to infilct the penalty of death on her
while In that condition. 1t would, in fact.
be murder Of her unborn babe. and as
clearly indictable as any other unlawful kill
Ing. It Is hardly probable though. that the
unhappy woman will be hanged at all. Severe
censure was meted out to the Governor OF
Georgia for permitting the execution of Miss
Susan Eberhardt not long while back, and
there Is infinitely more COMMUNICATION felt
for Mrs, Southern. In fact, there seems to
be great popular feeling against the infie
tion Of the death penalty on women.

OF that number must be given to one candi-

ceives q majority then there Is no choice, and

Had this rule been followed in the past, it
would have prevented quite number Of men
who occupied the presidential chair from
doing so. Lincoln, for instance, who lacked
over 100000 votes of having a majority,
would never have been President Hayes.

years would then receive black letter marks
from merchants and farmers, as years utterly
destructive Of crops and ruinous to business.
The late presidential election awoke the
country to some of the dangers and uncer-
tainties in the mode In which our President
was elected. Congress had this matter called
directly to its attention: two committees on
the electoral count were created and have
been meeting regularly since Congress first
hearing all that was to be said on
this subject, and yet we are no nearer any So
luton of this difficulty than In 1877; indeed,
lt Is now admitted that the House and Senate
will adjourn without taking any action on the
question of the electoral count. 1t sounds al
most like confession that no law can be
framed to ensure an honest election and the
installation OF the rightfully elected Presi-

Miguel Soils, of Sierra Mesilla, New Gren-
ada, has discovered the philosophers stone
and solved the great problem of life eter-
nal" Miguel confesses to being 100 years;
but this story Of his is not generally credited
by his neighbors. who say that he Is conceal
ing his true age-which is really over 300.
Unlike the alchemists of old, Miguel is I'M
selfish, and willing to impart the secret by
which he preserves his health and lfe-and
it consists, simply, in never getting drunk
and never overlooking. One meal day Is
enough for man Miguel declares; he ought
to fast at least twice a month-eating nothing
but drinking as much water as he can swal-
low. All food ought to be allowed to cool be-
fore eating. By following these simple rules
anyone can live as long as this South Ameri-
can bi-centenarian. Notwithstanding the
many years that Miguel has spent in his na-
tive place, he seems to have failed to win the
respect and good will of his neighbors. who
assert that he has sold himself to the devil
for Immortality; which belief would seem
to indicate that the unsophisticated New
Grenadans look with suspicion on man
who processes teetotaltsm.

Since the Chinese In California have adopt
ed the habit of resorting to the courts for re-
lief and damages for outrages inflicted on
them, they have caused the hoodlums of the
Pacific slope no little trouble and annoyance
The latest Chinese case that has attracted
Californian attention is that of Hoo-Ah-Kow
In the United States Circuit Court of Califor-
mia, against Sheriff human, of San Francisco
county. Kow was arrested for the violation
of an act Of the Legislature concerning sleep
ng apartments which makes 1t O Unable Of
Tense for more than certain number of per-
sons to sleep In one room. He refused to pay
the fine was sent to Jail for five days, and
while In jail had his cue cut off by the sheriff
under provision Of State law which pun
ishes all persons who decline to pay fines by
cutting their hair short. 1t Is against this
cue outrage that Hoo-Ah-Kow complains. He
cares little for the Imprisonment he suffered,
but the damage to his cue he cannot and will
not endure, and he accordingly rushes into
the United States Court with claim for
$4,000 damages for his lost pigtail. His pc
tition Is indeed piteous and mournful. The
custom of wearing the hair in a cue he de-
elares of ancient and honorable origin among
the Chinese, and Is SO held by him, and the de-
privation Of the cue is q mark of disgrace
among the Chinese. He had been disgraced
In his own eyes and in the eyes of his friends,
and Is ostracised from the association of his
respectable countrymen.
The suit is intended, beyond doubt, to test
the constitutionality Of the "cue law" In
the question OF the amount Of damages due
4ha heathen one serious question arises
How can jury Of men properly assess the
damage to ones feelings by the loss Of ones
back hair? A jury OF ladies, IL they sat on
this case would give All Kow the damages
properly due him; but that this case is not
one for masculine jury to try no one will
deny.

New York State apparently believes in a

New York State apparently believes in a
paternal sort of rule, as far as gas companies
are concerned. gas bill that has lately
passed the lower house Of the New York
Legislature Is unusually strict and severe.
All gas companies In the State are to furnish
gas OF at least sixteen standard candle power,
at price not to exceed 50 per thousand feet
In cities Of 10Qoee people, So rs In cities of
5000, and 80 on down to SO in towns contain
ing between 5000 and 5000 inhabitants. Illu-
minating gas OF less than sixteen candle
power Ia made not merchantable by the bill,
and compensation cannot be collected for gas
OF such inferior quality. Not more than S.
deposit can be collected from consumers by
The company in advance. This bill is really
nothing more than protection Of the citizens
against the recognized tyranny and extortion
OF all gas companies. The action of the New
York Assembly in this matter, and Of the
Georgia Constitutional Convention, in refer
ence to the power of the State to regulate the
freight charges of railroads, show that the
States to-day are disposed to exert their legis-
lative powers for the protection Of the people
against the tyranny Of the great corporations.

WHO THEY BELONG TO.

When dadGies fall out their posterity get an
idea of the cloudness of their pedigree As
for example, as stated by an exchange:
1t may be remembered that the statement
was made some time since by Commissioner
Hayt, and given wide circulation, that the in
huence of the army upon the Indian tribes
was very demorallzing, and that nearly all the
half breeds about the Indian posts and among
the tribes were the offspring of the officers,
and soldiers of the federal army OF course
this was Indignantly and repeatedly denied
both by General Sherman and the officers of
the army, and the assertion was made some
what in the nature of counter charge, that
an Indian agent with his croud of hangers-on
were not actually parsgons of virtue. In other
words, the existence of the half breeds was
laid at the door ii the employees of the In
dia,t Bureau. Ii order to bolster up their
accG5ation with the view to bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the congressional COM
mittee, Commissioner Hayt has secretly issued
orders to his Indian agents to collect all the
information on the subject possible. They
have been engaged for some time in collect
ing statements from the mothers of the half
breeds, supported by attidavlts as to the
parentage of their children, and as far as pos
SIble the sworn statements of those supposed
to be acquainted with the facts. The agents
have in every instance been instructed to pro-
coed quietly and cautiously in order to pre-
vent the designs of the Indian Bureau from
leaking out, until all the evidence is in and
before the committee But unfortunately the
army officers stationed in the West have re-
ceived an inkling of what is going on and if
they determine to secure similar evidence in
the country may we'll tremble at the
awful revelations which the fertile imagin-
ations of the Indian squaws will produce in re-
gard to the naughty conduct of the American
citizen when he goes West
