The Land Agents Record states that the
real estate sales in England, officially reported
from January to April, 1877, were go, 166, O65.
For the same period of 1878, go, 49, 1876; for the
same period of 1879, G1,o16,27o. The decrease
Is attributed to the unwillingness Of owners
to sell at the low prices which prevail.

England is just now getting hearty dose

The annual saving in railroad repairs
effected by the use Of steel rails in this coun-
try Is placed by the Railroad Gazette at
S19OOO,OOO. It's calculation Is based upon the
fact that In 1872, when the extensive use Of
steel rails began, nearly II per cent of the
rails laid had to be replaced yearly, while in
1873 only 81 per cent had to be relaid.
This Is not the only saving. About 100000
miles Of track are built in the United States,
and to relay II per cent Of this In 1872 would
have cost $88,53O,0o0 at the price of rails
then; to replace 81 per cent now, the aver
age share needed for repairs to-day costs
s1S,562,0O0, a difference Of S7O,0O0,000 or more
than per cent on capital stock Of all the
railroads in the country. In view Of these
facts, it Is not strange that the roads, at
lower freight rates. are making more money
than ever before. On single road of heavy
traffic, this saving can be given more
exactly. 1t cost the Erie S2639 a mile
annually to buy its new rails for repairs In
1872; since then the road has been laid with
steel rails; the amount Of new rails needed
has thereby been reduced, and the price OF
rails has fallen besides, 50 that the rails now
purchased for repairs cost but 1858 per mile
yearly. This, on the entire line Of the road,
is saving OF 81, 5000 annually.
The system Of cooperation among work
ingmen in England has become pretty widely
extended, and has met with no little success
In one direction. There are now about fifteen
hundred Industrial cooperative societies in
England and Scotland, eleven hundred and
seventy Of which recently reported to con-

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

We do not propose to cover In single arti-
Gle all the points suggested in the Governors
message. Take 1t all In all 1t is an admirable
document, and there is much of 1t that must
be laid aside for future comment. But there
Is one portion of it which demands our imme-
diate nOtice-ve allude to what his Excel
lency has said In regard to the Tensas and
Concordia troubles.
The statements OF Gov. Nichols in regard
to the affairs In these parishes has startled
the whole people Of this State. The high
personal regard entertained for Gov Nichols
by thu people OF Louisiana necessarily at
taches to any statement OF facts he may
make an unusual Importance at home while
the reputation he enjoys abroad will secure
credence elsewhere for all that ne may say
In regard to affairs In his own State 1t is a
thorough appreciation of these facts which
induces what we are about to say. No other
testimony than that OF Gov. Nichols, who
has spoken deliberately and after personal
investigation, made during visit to the dis
turbed localities, could have ELECTED from us,
knowing the people Of this State as we do,
anything else than prompt and indignant
denial and denunciation Of every statement
IN TINS message In regard to the origin and
responsibility Of these troubles.

JANAUSCHEK,

Those lovers OF the drama and Of true art
who have not as yet witnessed the superb
presentations OF Janauschek have In store an
Intellectual and aesthetic treat, such as Is
rarely afforded them In these latter days
She is one OF the few-the very few-great
artists now upon the stage; one Of the elect &c
whom Is given the power Of portraying the
varied emotions that sway the human heart
with such absolute fidelity as to make the ex-
quisite creations Of the poet and dramatist
seem to be living realities.
Hers is the wondrous and subtitle charm
without which no art or skill avails, and
which lifts the unreal into the realm OF reali-
ty. The highest natural gifts and the closest
study have In her united to produce great
actress A glance Of her dark and lustrous
eyes, a motion OF her finely moulded arm is
in itself more eloquent than any words, and
Of her may be truly said, what has SO often
been falsely said Of others, that she sinks her
own personality, and Is for the time being the
ideal person she represents. This, when
Justly bestowed, is, perhaps, the very highest
praise that can be accorded any dramatic
artist, and there are not many upon the stage
to-day who, equally with Janauschek, are en-
titled to it.
ALI her ideas Of her art are noble and exalt.
ed, and, to her lasting honor be 1t said, she
has always refused to debase her profession
by ministering to the prurient tastes Of modern
multitudes. Her ambition-and 1t is grand
and laudable one-is to build up purer senti-
ment among the people, and to lit the stage
from the slough into which the shameful i'm
moralties OF the so-called modern drama have
sunk 1t.
We believe that IL the truly great disciples
Of the drama would unite and systematically
discountenance everything that Is calculated
to lower their profession and would adopt the
rule Of Edwin Booth In regard to modern
plays, the beneficial result would soon be OBJ
served In q revival OF the legitimate and pure
drama and In more elevated public taste
"a consummation devoutly to be wished"
| There could be no better illustration of the
vast gulf which divides the pure from the
| immoral drama, than the marked contrast
presented in the two plays entitled "Mothel
and Son"-the one, that In which JanauscheA
appears, a translation from the German-anC
the other, that played by the Union Square
Company, a translation from the French
The former Is pure and ennobling through
out; the latter, founded upon immortality anc
vice. is calculated, In its almost every partic
ular, to shock the sensibilities of those who
have been reared in an atmosphere Of purity
and virtue. 1t Is biting commentary upor
popular taste that immense audiences always
flock to witness the representation OF the lat
ter play.
The ladies OF New Orleans could not better
show their appreciation Of true worth and o
the noble stand that Janauschek has taken in
the interest OF the Legitimate and pure drama
than by giving her the encouragement OF theil
presence at the Varieties.

Hon. Julian Hartridge, OF Georgia. who
represented the Savannah District In Con-
gress, died in Washington yesterday morning
of neuralgia Of the heart, after brief Ill
ness. Mr.. Hartridge was member Of the
Charleston convention Of 1860, served In the
Confederate army, and afterwards IN the
confederate Congress.
There has been an extraordinary mortality
among members OF Congress during the past
Few weeks, particularly among Democratic
members. 1t Is fortunate that the Dem
.ocrats have such large majority In the
present Congress. In the next Congress- they
could scarcely suffer these losses without en-
sdanRering their control Of the House.

THE CONVENTION.

With great indelicacy and perversion OF the
truth, the opponents OF o constitutional con-
vention were Tuesday night busily crculat-
ing the report that our distinguished and es-
teemed guest, Senator Lamar, had most
emphatically declared that 1t would be the
extreme of folly for the Legislature Of this
State to call constitutional convention, and
that any such step would injure the prospects
of the National Democratic party in 1880.
It seemed to as extremely improbable that
the illustrious Mississippi Senator should
have made any such statement. Hence, we sent
a Representative to inform him Of the use that
was being made, as we believed, surreptitlous-
ly, by the agents OF rings and monopolies, OF
his distinguished name, and to ask him for
authority to deny that he had made any such
statement.
In another column we print what he said to
our reporter. The substance of what he said,
It seems, was that he believed II to be mop
perfume for the Southern States at this time
to call constitutional conventions
Even this indefinite observation Of 80 erni-
nent a politician will be taken hold Of by the
rings whose interest 1t Ia to defeat conven-
fion. But the will Of the people Of this State
has been SO emphatically pronounced In favor
of q convention, that something more than
tho mere name OF any public man. however
distinguished, will be necessary to defeat It..
In the first place the representatives OF
the people OF Louisiana will weigh, against
Mr.. Lamars vague and unsupported utter
ance, the fact that since they escaped from
4Carpet-bag domination, Arkansas. Texas,
Alabama, Georgia. Missouri, Tennessee and
North Carolina have called and held constitu-
honal conventions, which have largely re-
sduced their expenses and the rate Of taxation.
and that yet no evil results have befallen the
country or the Democratic party at large.
These representatives will also keep In
mind that the cost Of running the government
of this State can be reduced 81 100000 per an
mum, and hence they will proceed to call the
convention. Louisiana is the most impover-
ished and overtaxed State In the Union. and
only convention can relieve her people
National interests just now are secondary to
q man who finds his roof about to be sold over
the heads OF his wife and children.

The New York Legislature met Tuesday ia
the new Capitol at Albany, which has taken
dozen years to build, and which is the third
costliest public edifice In America, the United
States Capitol and the Treasury Department
at Washington alone exceeding it in the cost
OF building. The New York press do not ap-
pear to welcome heartily this colossal build
ing, which probably represents more fraud
and swindling than even Tweed's famous City
Hall. They comment on the fact that their
Capitol could to-day be erected for ons-hali
the sum that 1t cost; that 1t has cost far more
than the canals that did SO much 10 build up
New York city; and, finally, that its builders
looked only to architectural success. and.

In the task Of showing the prices Of food and
