NEW ORLEANS LETTER.

New ORLEANS, July %, 1881.
"ANons ! Entants dc Ia patrie !"
was a cry largely in excess here on
the 14th OF the month and although
it rained in torrents all the forenoon,

Canal street, withstoOd the assaults
of wind and weather, and in the af-
ternoOn the crowd that came to be
transported to the West End was
simply without precedent IN New
Orleans. Il was said to have been
the largest assemblage of citizens on
local occasion ever seen here. 1t
has been variously estimated that
there were between twenty and thir-
ty thousand people at the West End.
1t took ten trains seven hours to carry
them out, and no accident of any sort
occurred to mar the happiness of the
occasion. OF course it will be one
of our local holidays.
A good many funny things happen
peDed, as for instance: A lady with
a baby recognized q young gentleman
friend in a car. She passed the little
fellow in through the window, so as
to avoid the crush at the steps. But
sad to relate, the train started before
she could get on, and the young fel,
low had the baby to take care OF anC
to hold until the grief-stlicEen moth.

On the Goth inst, at Muir, Michi-
gan, q small house occupied by Alon-
10 Derrick, his wife and six children,
took fire and was burned to the
ground. The fire originated in the
upper Chamber where the three chill
dren, one deaf mute, aged II years,
were sleeping. 1t was impossible to
rescue them, and they were burned
to an undistinguishable mass. The
remains were gathered up and buried
in one coffin.

The emigration fever which RACES
in Europe has now also reached Hun
gary. In former years that country.
with its comparatively sparse popula-
ton, has not sent off many emigrants;
but bad crops and the intolerable
burden of military CONSUMPTION have
given such an impetus to the enigra-
ton movement that the Government
has become sorely alarmed, and is
trying hard 20 stem it-of course,
with very poor results. Most of the
people come to the United States.

a few pertinent suggestions: sin
the early dawn of Thursday. as we
neared Baton Rouge, the classic tow
ers of the old State House lo0med up
with doubly imposing grandeur, and
q new dignity attached to it as the
future receptacle of the archives Of
Louisiana. | believe we are all glad
to see this beautiful town take back
It's stolen honors. for it always seemed
unjust for the seat of government to
be transferred from this lovely spot
and placed in the dingy walls of that
haunted old rookery on st. Louis
street. Surely. if incidental surrOun-
dings influence human thought and
human actions. we can conceive OF
nothing more calculated to corrupt
our representatives than to sit from
day to day in that rickety old den
nor can one blame them for being
more vulnerable to the insidiOus IN
tluence of moneyed rings and clique'
there than in the beautiful capitol al

trees are all about, to prompt and tt
strengthen to patriotic purpose. |

New Hampshire has new law tax
ing church property when it exceeds
$4,000 in value. The Congregational
Church at Manchester refused to pay,
on the ground that the act was uncon-
stitutional, but the Supreme Court
has decided that under the constitu-
ton of that State it is competent Tor
the Legislature to treat church proper
ty like any other in the matter Of tax
alton.

THE AvENGlNG NEMESIS.

It has come to pass, at last, in this
parish, that trial by jury is anything
but joke. 1t has happened during
the present term of the District Court,
that every man guilty Of murder,
manslaughter and robbery, has been
adjudged guilty by the juries who
have lifted Justice from the quagmlre
of shame and corruption, into which
she had been contemptuously thrown
years ago.
The penitentlary will receive
goodly accession Of maletactors sent
there by the East Baton Rouge jurors,
who have had the courage and the
honesty to perform the dnty they
owed to society and to themselves
Another such term Of the Criminal
Court as the present, will suffice to
restore the entire supremacy OF the
law in the parish, and give a chance
to people from abroad to come and
occupy the rich lands that immunity
from punishment for crime had, little
by little, tnrned into a bowling viii
derness.
The occupation of the hoodlums
who roasted on the Court House fence,
awaiting patiently to be called to the
jury box to let 'the boys" Oft have
found that Othello-like their occupa-
ton was gone. Thejuries have been
constituted from the regular pane
and the result is a complete triumph
of Justice over LawlesSneSS.
Public opinion has but one voice il
applauding the jurymen whose goo'
conduct has entitled them to th'
gratitude of their fellow-citizens
These righteous upholderS OF TN
law can take home with them tn
proud consciousness which accoMpa
MES well performed duty, and Tee
ASSURED that they are sustained, une
quivocally, by the good people OF til
parish who stand in the proportion G
ninety-nine honest men to one villain
Much credit for these good result
is due to the Judge, who has not al
lowed himself to be moved by q sens
bility which is frequently of grcatac
vantage to criminals. He has bee
Just but ,inhexible in doing what
thought to be right. The District A
torney has performed his part i'll
manner which has won the az
probation of everybody, and Il
Sheriff and his deputies have done a
that good officers could do in brln!
ing to trial the perpetrators OF CRIME
and misdeeds.

HOW TOWNS GROW.

Under the ABOVE neaulnS, lHe lIaht
Charles Echo, one of the most ylgOr--
ously and intelligently conducted
journals in the State, makes a
center shot on those towns and
classes of people, whose petty leal-
ousies lead them to "pull back
against any movement, no matter
how meritorious, that men whom
they don't like have suggested. I'm
able to rise high enough to be mag
unanimous they become the curse OF
the community wherein they live, by
handicapping every movement that
looks to the general welfare.
Our clear headed contemporary
who has done for Lake Charles the
work of a Titan speaks as follows:
'As a town is but an aggregation
of individuals, the rules of life which
bring an individual to prosperity
may be considered with great adj
vantage. Continued, hopeful, per-
sistent effort; a prudent forecast; q
resolute embarking of all the means
and on some occasions of more
than all-possessed, when the
venture, according to well establish
ed rules of business, promises good
rewards; a sufficiently clear head to
distinguish between what IS illusory
and what's 'real-these, twill be con-
ceded, are essential conditions and
qualities of success. One or two, or
indeed almost any number of mis-
takes, may be overcome by the in
dividual who still possesses and Will
exercise the qualities we have allu-
ded to.
But the counterpart of these quail
tiles: want of faith and trust and
continuity Of purpose, refusal tc
risk anything, even when the result
is the most promising ready yield
ing to disappointment and adversely,
can work out but one result; and i
an individual so constituted shoult
achieve success, it must be reckOnet
a scratch rather than q Legitimate
fruit of known means. The struggle
continues through the entire business
l career Of each individual. Wheneve
c the obvious means of success are neg
lected, the individual falls to th
rear,
L The case of the individual is in ep
e itome with that of the town in ex
: tense, in our comparatively Dey
] country. The town or city which
would prosper must have that vital
ity of purpose; that perennial hope
G that faith in combined effort; tina
If readiness to risk something, tia
!. much may be gained, which signal
. ICES the successful individual. Fac
. individual must render combined e,
/ fort possible by being willing t
i yield something Of his judgment, IN
l. to defer something to that of othel
i, 4 town which is so unfortunate as
u" be made up of individuals so stub
'e born and opinionated as to make a
t. concerted action out of the question
because each will act only upon h
own views, has little chance of SUI
cess. Impracticability and inefficiel
10 cy are qualities nearly akin. AS Il
IL question now to get forward in life
. ever new and recurring, and fore
ps itself always or our attention, wo1
calculated to excite reflection as
the means applicable to communiti
as well as individuals, can never
es properly considered out of place.

Tennessee State bonds closed in
New York yesterday at ut to 7l3
They have ruled weak for some time

attempted to unload, upon being con-
WINGED that the Governor of this State
would not convene the Supreme Court
upon twenty days notice to consider
and decide the taxpayers bill appealed
from Chancellor Merritt's court some
time ago. The anticipation Of this ac-
tion on the part Of the Governor, and
the hope that the court will decide
the issue in the bondholders' favor,
are the leading points on their
side, for all are we'll convinced that if
the taxpayers ever get chance at the
question they will bury it too deep to
be resurrected.
