The Mascot, little illustrated pa
per of New Orleans, has brought
down on its unrighteous head the
wrath of Mr.. Benthuysen, President
Of the Carrollton Railroad. The pa.
per published cartoon represent
ing that gentleman as pulling the
strings Of the city administration
and making the members jump as
he pleased. When he saw the pic.
ture he got mad. We don't blame
him, for the picture was not a good
one. The position was bad, and the
features were dull, lacking the fire
and life that have always character
lied Mr.. Benthuysen's daily walk
and conversation. In fact the pic
ture was as stiff and undlgnified as
a scarecrow, set up to Brighten the
festive birds and beasts of prey.
The Mascot was not certain that the
public would recognize the picture,
and in order that there could be no
doubt about it, put Benthuysen's
name underneath. He had a right
to be mad, and say he had been
slandered. If he had sought out
and murdered the artist who drew
the picture, the public would have
acquitted him. But he and his son
went to the office of the paper and
demanded to know the name of the
fighting editor, which was not forth
coming. He then delivered the con-
Germ lecture, and was more en-
phatic than polite. He had two of
the knights Of the quill arrested,
who we've released on giving small
bond. That was Saturday evening,
and ended the first chapter. The
next Monday morning the Mascot
men had Bentbuysen and son ar
rested. They gave bond immediate
ly, and went on their way denoun-
cling the bad paper. Benthuysen
then went before the Mayor and AL
dermen, complained that he had
been slandered and insisted on the
Mayor suppressing the paper. The
Mayor said it should be done imme-
diately if not sooner, and had the
following order sent to the chief Of
police:
Thos. N. Boylan, Chief of Police:
Sir-You will cause to be seized
and taken into your possession, to
be destroyed, the print termed the
Mascot. issued, circulated and sold
in contravention of article 663, Leo
vy's Revised City Laws and Ordi-
nances.
You are hereby further directed
to notify all persons concerned in
its circulation or sale, that from and
after the Goth, they shall be subject
to fine and Imprisonment, in accord
ance with the provisions of articles
sos and go of the revised city laws
and ordinances.
BY order of the Mayor.
+. l.. BOWER, Chief Clerk.
P. S.--The Mascot appeared last
Saturday warmer than ever. An
other picture of Benthusen appear
cd, which which was no improve.
ment on the first, and gave no better
satisfaction. He had the printer
arrested for publishing the paper,
who was released OH giving bond.
The cases are being tried in New
Orleans this week, and all parties
have their war paint on.
A son Of Acknowledgement Rea-
gan and one of the editors of the
Mascot fought a duel Monday
morning. After one shot, the duel
was declared off. The end has not
come.

rhe Right Kind Of ralIx.

The last number of the Enter
prise Courier has the following sen
sible suggestion: "There is no good
reason why Mississippi should not
send a solid democratic delegation
to the next congress. It is true two
of the districts have large negro ma
joritles, but for that reason alone
they should not be given up to the
Republicans. The right kind OF
work will secure democratic repre-
sentatives from both of the dis
tricts."

DIN, chai1lsrs lIuasstsA,

Last Saturday Gen. Chalmers was
unseated % the Congressional Rep
resentative Of the Shoestring DIS
trict, and Lynch was sworn in. The
Northern Democrats voted against
Lynch being seated. but said they
could not afford to fillibuster in
Gen. Chalmers interest. Southern
Representatives will probably re-
member them. A Washington cor
respondent Of the Picaynne thus
comments upon the matter:
The decision is not based on the
law or justice of the case. The Re-
publicans have not cared to inquire
who was really elected. Their idea
is that they own the black vote and
have the right to control and own it;
that all that is necessary is to con-
suit the census files, and if in any
Congressional district the negroes
outnumber the whites it must be
assured, as matter of course, that
the district ought to be represented
by a Republican.
It is part of their general policy
to ignore the general disgust felt by
the respectable whites OF the South
for their party, and to assume that
half the Southern States are natur-
ally Republican. To give color to
this theory of fraud, they are led to
expel Democratic members.
The general conviction Of the
Democrats is that Gen. Chalmers is
entitled to his seat, and that his
expulsion Is part of the same sys.
tenn as the packing Qfjuries in South
Carolina.
The ablest men in Congress who
have examined the case of Chalmers
are the strongest in maintaining his
right.
This business is togo on till hall
dozen more Southern members shall
be expelled.

An Unpleasant Reminder Gone.

The Nmlcker house, situated in Elk Neck
wherein the old man Nicholas Vplcker
resided at the time he was foally murdered,
has since been an object of dislike to the,
residents of the vicinity, it being looked
upon rs the last remaining link between
the murdered man and that section of the
county. Many expressions of the wish that
some one would set fire to the old hulk
which was unoccupied-hav been heard of
late: 50 that when smoke and flames We're
seen bursting through the roof OF the pro-
scrhed dwelling on Monday afternoon last,
every one expressed satisfaction, and no
attempt was made to save the building. At
) o'clock upon that day all that remained
of the Nmlcker house was pile of smoui-
dering ruins. No one seems to know how
the fire originated, but it is thought gcner-
ally to be the work of 4 party of nisehiev-
(ons boys. The building was of no value as
4 dwelling.
