LEWINTHAL-BLOCK-At the Tenn
pie "Shaari Chased" on Wednesday
evening, August 9Th, by tho Rev. Dr.
James K. Gutheim, Of the Temple Sinai
New Orleans, La, Mr.. IsIDORE LEVIN
THAI to Miss EsrELLE BLOCK, both OF
this city.
By invitation, we attended the i'm
prossive ceremonies conducted by tn.
Rev. DR.. Gutheim, the eminent rabbi o.
New Orleans. A large concourse o.
friends attended the hymenisl celebra
tion-that happy beginning Of q union
which promises an unbroken chain o.
marital felicity and concord. The bride
is q young lady much admired in this
city by large circle of friends, Gentiles
as we'll as Hebrews-who recognize in
her, modesty, beauty, and every accom-
plishment that goes to constitute the
true woman. We therefore sincerely
congratulate Mr.. Lcwinthal, tho for
tunate husband, who is himself q gen
tleman Of culture and refinement, in
thus winning such q priceless gem.
The thanks of the CAPIToLIANs are
rendered the happy couple, for me-
mento that has enabled them to drink
q "bumper' to their long life and pros
perity!

THE STATE TREASURER.

In the last number of dle Iberville
South, we notice % paragraph con-
demnatory of the Convention, with
regard to it's action in the matter OF
the State Treasurer. AS we were one
Q Of those who voted both in the caucus
and in the Convention, to retain this
official until the next general election,
we deem it opportune to give our
readers and the editor of tho South
our reasons for SO doing.
The parish officials elected to serve
for two years in 1873, are retained
until April lst, 1880, and will lose but
eight months of their term. The State
officials elected for four years will
lose but one year Of their time, whereas
the State Treasurer, the only State
official elected in 1878, for four years,
too, would have been deprived of
three years of his time. To have dis
missed him in January, would have
been an injustice as compared to the
others. There were then but two
other alternatives. These were: to
order a special election in 1882, for
the sole object of electinga a Treasurer,
an officer who will receive hereafter
a salary of only two thousand dollars
per annum-else to do exactly what
was done-to retain him until the
first general election which takes place
IN April 1884.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-08-09
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Another case of highway robbery
occurred in the parish yesterday
Mathirs Chinehick, Hungarian, who
obtains a livelihood by travelling about
the country and exhibiting a little
panorama or "peep show" was set
upon by two colored men, in front Of
Cofield's Point Houmas plantation,
about = o'clock last evening, and
shamefully maltreated and robbed.
The thieves took $40 so in money, a
silver watch and chain and revolver
from their victim, choking him &C.
verely and beating him about the face
and head to compel him to submit to
the robbery. The authorities were
notified of the outrage and this morn
ing Coroner Sullivan arrested a compile
of colored men on suspicion, one OF
whom, VIM. Rouse, was identified by
Chinehick as the man who had choked
him and struck him several times
with q pair of new shoes Rouse had
been carrying over his shoulder. The
other party arrested was exOnorated
by Chinehick and released from
custody.
Rouse was picked out by Chinehick
from among a number of other pris-
oners in the Jail, which is almost
certain proof that he is one of the
perpetrators of this bold and outrage
ous crime; and strong confederation
is that when arrested he wore new
shoes. Highway robbery is growing
too frequent iu Ascension, ,andvigorous
measures should be adopted for the
suppression Of the crying evil.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-08-09
PERSONAL,

Mr.. James Lingan left Sunday eve
vening last on a summer visit to Bal
timore and Washington. He intends
to return in october. His clients will
welcome him back, and the Louisiana
Democracy will no doubt claim his
services on the stump during the ap.
preaching campaign, for a tower o1
strength is James Lingan, either in
the courtroom or in the political
field.-New Orleans Picayune.
We join our confrere Of the Plea
yune in bidding our gallant friend,
Col. Lingan, a friendly au recoir
We wish him God speed, a pleasure
ble trip, and a safe return among hii
many sincere friends. We hope then
to meet him in the full enjoyment Of
health, as handsome looking as when
we left him two weeks ago.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-08-09

The swindlers are those who flooded
the market with bonds issued for wild
cat enterprises, while they held pos
session of the State seal, and were
exercising their illegitimate power, in
the face of the protests Of manacled
population.
The swindlers are those who scaled
and funded fraudulent bonds worth
from ten to thirty cents on the dollar,
in order to double and treble their
value and conceal by mingling both
the valid and the spurious together.
The swindlers are those who, in
conjunction with the scoundrel Breck-
enridge, the thieving auditor, made
away with the records, so as to cover
all traces of their misdeeds.
We hurl back the charge at the
face of the bypocritical writer of that
infamous organ Of everything that is
abject and disreputable in the East.
1t is not because this people believe
that these claims are just that they
propose to offer this settlement, but
simply because of those who have in
nocently become holders of these secu-
rites. 1t is on their account alone,
that the State will pay more than It
owes. lfit were possible to separate
the valid from the fraudulent bonds,
rest assured, Mr.. Independent, that
the apostles of Warmoth and Kellogg
would get their due, and that would
be easily counted.
Aye, it is highly interesting to read
such catechising from q paper over
which the sanctimonious Beecher held
his moralizing Influences! Louisian-
ians will survive this Tiltonian criti-
cism, and will weigh the honor Of
their commonwealth on other scales,
| than those that emanate from such a
source!

AN UNAOOOUNTABLE ERROR.

In the article entitled "Down
with the jews" taken from New
York paper, the name of Mr.. Jastrem-
ski, mayor of Baton Rouge, and al
luded to as that of a prominent He
brew, occurs. Mr.. Jastremski is a
prominent man, although no Hebrew.
He has the greatest respect for He
brews and admires them for theirabili-
ties both as individuals and as a race,
butnotbeing able to claim consanguin-
ity with the chosen people, he NATURALLY y
desires to contradict the statements in
the paper in so far as they concern
himself. f.-New Orleans Times.
Our friend, the Hon. Leon Jastrem-
ski, mayor of Baton Rouge, La, is
again brought before the public
through one of the inexperienced con-
tributing editors of the Reformer and
Jewish Times, in the role Of an Israel
ite. Mr.. Jastremski is an honor to
the faith of which he is a member,
which however, is not the Jewish
faith.-N. 0. Jewish South.
Through the error of some news
paper reporter, we suppose-the edi-
tor of this paper--Mr. Leon Jastrem-
ski-has been represented through
tho press, as ono of tho Jewish men,
bers of tho Louisiana Convention.
Aswe do not wish to sail under false
colors, we take this occasion to state
that we are descended of Polish and
French parentage-Christians in fact
and ancestry. We are therefore a
Christian.
We do not make this correction be.
cause we are prejudiced against the
the Hebrews; for we are of those who
will ever bo found battling for liberty
Of thought and conscience. We es-
teen and respect all classes of good
citizens, and among them we
rank our Jewish friends; whom
we know will think none the less of
us, when they learn that we are not
of their faith.
We thank our friends of the Times
and Jc,cish South for the kindness
they have shown us in correcting the
error referred to above.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-08-09

By this action we don't think that
any great wrong has been perpetrated
upon anybody. Therefore, we con-
slider that it was economy not to pro-
vide for special election in 1882 or
'83 and that it was but an act Of JUS
tice towards an official against whom
there exists no complaint, in so far as
the performance of his duties are con-
cerned.
We are free to confess, that we
were very much disposed to do him
no injustice. AS a supporter of the
Democratic party, we know of no man
in the State, who has displayed more
wonderful energy and brain, tow
ards its triumph ever since we have
known him in politics, than Major E. A..
Burke. In 1876, during that ever
memorable campaign, we were in re-
ceipt of his kilograms daily, and when
we had occasion to 60 to New Orleans
with crowds of witnesses summoned
before the Returning Board and the
Congressional committees, by day and
by night, that man was at his post,
directing the lions share of the work
of the Democratic committee. He
has never been charged with any dis
honest act that we know of. His op-
ponents say of him, that he is an as
tutc politician. Aye, so he is one !;
and his ability has been felt by the
enemies of our people. The great
trouble was that in past years, we
had too many barnaclcs in charge Of
our politics, and everybody knows
what a costly luxury they were. Be-
tween one of the latter class, and q
politician as they are termed-o of
brain and energy, we'll take the poll
tician all the time. We are sick of
the cry of the envious de1nagogues,
who are constantly asking that good
men, fresh from the people be placed
at the head of affairs. We have many
sad examples in our minds eye Of
very complete failures among these
pure and unadulterated newly -fedged
politicians. We begin to believe that
every man is fitted for q certain sta
ton, and that certain stations are
fitted for certain mcp. A deviation
from this rule, produces those "grand
failures" that we ali know or have
heard of.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-08-09
THAT CONTRIBUTION,

The subscription of thirty five thou
sand dollars, that Baton Rouge is re-
quired to make to aid in rebuilding
the Capitol is the all-absorbing topic
of conversation. Every one has a
plan to submit. There is however a
scheme that has been suggested that
seems to bear in our opinion greater
degree of feasibility than any other.
1t is this:
That tho city issue a circulating
bond of the denomination of one dol
lar, bearing interest at the rate of five
per cent; said interest to be paid
quarterly from the receipts of the
market or steamboat landing, or as
much thereof from both these sources
as may be necessary; thus ensuring
prompt payment at maturity of tho
coupons. Ten per cent of these
bonds to be made receivable for taxes
and licenses, thus providing for their
steady and continued absorption, a
provision that will undoubtedly give
them par value. The city tax to be
raised to ten mills SO long as it may
be necessary. The total State and
City tax would be but l6 mills under
the new Constitution, whereas the
present State tax of III mills and the
city tax at u makes total of 10
mills, or three mills more than it
would be under the proposed plan.
The bonds being issued under a
special constitutional enactment
rendering them a surety-provided
for, as suggested could be easily alb
sorbed within ten years. In the
meantime they would circulate in the
locality as freely as currency, and in
fact would doubtless be in demand
and gathered in as fast as offered. It
does appear to lis that no difficulty
can he experienced in obtaining of
our citizens an exchange of currency
for these bonds, sufficient to cover
the required sum.
We throw out these suggestions for
what they are worth and in order
