some Of our contemporaries are dis.
posed to dignity Recorder Lane as the
deus er-machina in the struggle to pre-.
serve the recorders Office, and just be.
cause Mr.. Lane nominally fills the re-
corder's Office. That Office was made for
Mr.. Quay, who gets its fatness and in fact
administers it. He is the real recorder,
the other man being the dummy. The
struggle for the preservation of the often.
sive thing is directed by him. His
methods of work are conspicuous in it ;
and will fail as his methods have habit
of doing in these days. He can see very
well to the end Of his nose, but beyond
his faculty Of vision wholly fails. In
the management of this latest ring
operation even more than usual short
sightedness was exhibited in sacrificing
the votes Of the Allegheny members and
their friends to receive the support of
the speaker. The rogues, having fallen
out, have been crushed in detail, and the
honest people of the state profit thereby.
The riot bill was killed, the speaker is
ruined, and the recorders Office will be
abolished.

get a Reconsideration Of the vote by
Which 4 special session was fixed for the
afternoon to pass the bills relating to the
Philadelphia recozdership On first reading.
They failed by . vote Of 70 yeas to S2
nays.
session for bills on first reading in the
evening was loudly jeered at, when Wolfe
explained that his object was to facilitate
business.
It was expected that the afternoon ses-
sion would be very exciting, a. Mr.. Wolfe
had privately declared his intention to call
for the yeas and nays on the first reading
of the recorders bill. But he did not,
and the bills passed very quietly.
Previous to the passage Mr.. Hazlet rose
to a question of privileges. Mr.. Law OBJ
iected, fearing that some opposition. move
against the bills was to be sprung, but the
chair gave Mr.. Hazlet the floor. There
upon that gentleman sent to tho clerk g
desk to have read as part of his remarks
an article from the Philadelphia ISmee
headed "The Boss Legislative Circus
The article amused the House consider.
ably.
Mr.. Hazlet then offered the following
preamble and resolution I:
WHEREAs, tho Philadelphia Times in
its issue of Monday, the 21st, gave notice
that to-day the boss legislative circus
would exhibit at the capitol; and
"WHEREAs, It is plainly apparent that
the Times aforesaid did not properly pub
lish the programme as made out for the
circus managers aforesaid be it.
"Resolced, therefore, That hereafter
before any programme is acted upon thu
floor of the House by the circus aforesaid
that the order of exercises be suspended
until the arrival of tho clown from tht
Philadelphia Times, whose appearance OF
the tan shall be heralded by howl from
the Great American Wolfe, the king o.
all circus animals"
Everybody howled, including the ''great
American Wolfe," who seemed to enjoy
the joke as much as anybody, and for
while it tsounded as if . mena9erie had takel
possession of the hall. Tho House wa
not in session over . half hour and th'
large number of spectators who had a.
sembled were rather disappointed that tn
circus did not continue longer.

THE circus being enacted at the court
house by the county auditors may serve
the single useful purpose of directing
the attention of both parties this year
to the importance of selecting better
men for county auditors than those who
compose the present board. The charac-
ter of all the present county auditors is
such that the public cannot have any
confidence that the inquiry, the pro-
priety which is now agitating them, is
either proposed or opposed in any honest
spirit of promoting the public interest.
None of these three auditors is fit for
his place none Of them would be Sc
lected by the sober second thought of
either party. Now let each party take
heed to do better this year.

MINOR ToFICa.

HENRY ]. ROBERTs, the marine ncws
reporter of the New York associated press
at City Island, mysteriously disappeared
about two weeks ago, and since then no
tidings of him have been received by his
associates. The attacks made upon him
by the He'll Gate pilots, and their threats
of personal violence for giving evidence to
the committee Of the Legislature in rela-
to the He'll Gate pilotage system and its
burden upon commerce are recalled with
suspicious of foul play.

In his promise that their faction should be
taken care of, have returned forlorn and
disconsolate enough. The report they
make has cast a gloom over all the anti
Conkling forces here. The committees
direct demands on Mr.. Garfield for recog-
milton and Office called forth an intimation
that the endorsement of one or both of
their representatives in the United States
Senate was necessary. They found that
Conkling is in full command of the federal
patronage and that he and Platt are in
most cordial accord.
A CONVENTION of the colored Republi.
cans of Maryland will be held in Balti.
more tomorrow. Its object is to secure a
larger share of the federal patronage::in the
state. The chief mover in the affair says
s'Mr. Garfield himself is the man who sug-
gested the convention we are about to
hold. While was at Chicago last year as
an alternate to Mr.. Gary, one of the de!e-
gates from this state, l saw Mr.. Garfield,
who was then advocating the nomination
of Secretary Sherman for the presidency,
I stated our grievances to him then, and
he replied that if Sherman got the nomi
nation and election he would see us right

I don't see any reason why they should
change, now that he himself is the
president.

Of laughter in all parts of the room.
Mr.. Musser, alternately pale with rage
and flushed with excitement, hammered
on the table and called again and again on
the tipstaf to arrest and commit MIR.

NEWSPAPER DEADREATS.

The Opelousas Courier, of recent
date, gets off the following in regard
to the class known as newspaper
dead heads" who, as the Courier
truthfully remarks, "send in six
cent puff of their business in three
cent envelope, closely written on
both Sides" who, in plain language,
want newspaper man to be con-
tinually loticing their business, mere
ly as a local item:
"Some people have an idea that
publisher publishes his paper for al
most anything but to make money.
In fact, this class of people is very nu-
merous-too numerous for the good
of the newspaper fraternity. Com
pliments are very acceptable, and
cheer the publisher but bread and
butter is what he and bis family live
upon. Publishing is a business. just
the same as manufacturing or keep
ing store. A manufacturer or
storekeeper would think a man crazy
who came into his Office every little
while, and after complinenting his
goods, asked him to give him few
of them. This is just the kind of GUS
toner a publisher must expect to deal
more or less with six out Of seven
days in the week. We are otspeak-
ing of men who advertise, and who
have some privileges in the paper.
We are speaking of that immense
class of deadheads who send six
cent puff of their business in three
cent envelope, closely written on
both sides, and of another numerous
class who are constantly dropping in,
or dropping it on the publisher in lit
tie driblets, sandwiched in between a
smile and a compliment and mus
tard seasoning Of cheek. The sooner
these people find ont that every inch
Of a publishers space is 80 much
money to him, the sooner will the
publishers see a little profit in their

THE BLACK VENUS.
New Works Dramatic Sensation.

Correspondence San Francisco Argonaut.
"The Black Venus" at Niblo's. Os-
ten.ibly it is a grand production of
Adolphe Belot's great spectacle Of
that name, produced in Paris a year
or two ago, but really it is an ''olla
podrida" concocted by the brothers
Imre and Bolossy Kiralfy especially
for the vitiated American taste. The
stuy is a mere thread, something af-
ter the style of "Around the World in
Eighty Days." and involves lot OF
nonsense of search by a French
baroness for her losthusband-an Eff
rican explorer. Belot's story has
been destroyed, but the caravan
through Africa, the meuagerle, and
the ballet have been retained, and
worked up into a magnifcence that
has never before been equaled on any
stage. Asa spectacle, "The Black
Venus, throws "The Black Crook
far in the shade, not only in quantity
but quality. The "CrookS was aght-
tering thing of sprangles, and tinsel,

Of suit outstanding skirts, the frsns

wildly improbable but indescribably
beautiful costumes skillfully and
differently arranged tor the nonen-
tary exhibition Of form-anklets Of
stage silver, and Of earrings Of brass
gold. And as they mix and march
in procession, the grouping and play
of celor is something grand. First,
there is Il perfect jungle of dusky
legs then voluptuous unddation,
as the nncorseted creatures, protected
only by Cleopatra band, bend in
salutation. Then there is an entire
menagerie on the stage; horses, and
one and two-humped camels, drom-
edaries, zebras, sacred cows, oxen,
donkeys, and a herd offragrant goats
from Shantytown. In one of the
scenes is disclosed a den Of live lions
and tigers, and circus man, disguis-
ed as q Zulu, enters and stirs them
up till their roaring can be heard out
on Broadway. Another thrilling ep-
isode is the battle of the Amazons--
forty girls in tights, on forty live
cart-horses, and the whole caboodle
frightened to the point of jumping
ont into the audience. There is splen-
did scenery, designed by the most
celebrated scenic artists in Vienna,
Berlin, Paris and Rome; a panorama
on the Nile by Voegtlin, and an in
discriminate throng Of slaves, palan-
qnin bearers, Egyptian soldiers, ira
ders, Zulus, Nyamos, Nyams, Nom

the whole aromatic tumble of brute
and human animals, before and be-
hind the footlight, being tittingly ty-

herself-a shapely and palpitating
creature. arrayed only in her native
modesty and leopard skin, with
three silver horns on her head, and
two FURNISHED steel points standing
straight out from her swarthy bust.
The whole thing is shining monstros-
ity, but, al! it is a taking show. ORA
matically it is nothing; sensuously it
is everything. And the way Niblo's
is crowded from the orchestra rail to
the last gallery ceiling, demonstrates
to nicely that what. the greater por-
ton of the amusement world wants is
neither morality, wit, poetry OF pathos
but just exactly what the two Hun
garans have Notwithstanding

New Orleans PisFsns'
Thursday morning. at half-past 10
o'clock, the list Regiment repaired
to Greenwood Cemetery to salute the
Confederate monument. When the
train had arrived and the troops had
alighted, column of fours was formed,
and the battalion, headed by the reg
mental band and commanded by Col.
Richard Vose, marched into the Gem
etery and around the monument to
the solemn measure of dirge.
The battalion was drawn up in line
fronting the monument ON the side
upon which is the bust Of Gen. Lee,
the officers having marched by with
heads uncovered.
Rev Carlos Martyr, Chaplain OF the
7lst, and pastor Of the Thirty Fourth
street Reform Church, New York, de-
lvered an eloquent address.
He said:
"a famous German theologian.onee
said: Thank God for SIM Not that
there is anything in sin to be thank
fnl for. But it is the occasion for a
display of divine character, lmpos-
sible without it, because unnecessary.
Thank God for the war! War is an
unmixed evil. But God is bringing
ont of it a better mutual understand
mc and truer brotherhood.
"Twenty years ago the North and
South fatally misunderstood each
other. The North pictured the
South as Bombastes Furioso. The
South looked at the North as Con-
necticut peddler. The North believ-
ed the South wouldn't fight. The
South thought the North couldn't.
The battle flags were unfurled. The
swords were rough ground. The
guns were loaded. The thunder of
cannon shook the continent. The
world stood aghast. The old mis-
conceptions disappeared in the smoke
Of a hundred battle fields. 1t was
mutually discovered that the spirit Of
76, of Sumter and Marion, Of schuy-
ler and Greene, animated their de-
scendants. The hostile sections were
awed into wholesome respect for
each others heroism and self-sacri-
flee.
..The old Romans placed the gods
of the various principalities incorpo-
rated in the Empire, in their Panthe-
on-each has his niche. IN the Pan
theon of American patriotism and
honor, time shall SCI Grant and Lee,
Jackson and Sherman while the
shadowy host, heroic as tile English
Sidney, chivalric as the French Bay
ard, who poured out life, on the one
side for the National idea, Oh the
other for the Lost Cause open their
lips of dust to sing the angelic over
ture: Glory to God in the highest,
on earth peace, good will towards
men,"
GAS a foretoken oithat coming day
nav, as a help towards its Inaugural
ton. we salute these graves. Over
the chasm, filed with blood, tiled
with tears, filed with bitter, burning
memories, we extend the hand Of
national fraternity, and lock palms
with our brothers of the Soutll in
eternal friendship"
The battalion then fired three vol
leys over the monumental mound.
After this the band played ''ln the
Sweet Bye and Bye" officers and men
standing with heads uncovered. Next
the battalion presented arms. Hav-
ing reformed into the column the
list marched from the cemetery and
returned to the city.
The ceremonies were witnessed by
q large crowd of spectators-ladies
and gentlemen.
