THE conviction of Ferdinand Ward, follow

agement to the hope that big villains may be.
overtaken by justice just as smaller ones are.
1t has become a proverb that the man who
steals a loaf of bread is thief and must go
to Jail, while the gentleman who embezzles
million is fnancier, whom misfortune has
overtaken. For months this scheming and
impudent swindler has been boarding at
Ludlow-street Jail, living we'll, and paying
$40 week for the luxuries he must have In
short, he lived in style; had his apartments,
his bath, his library, his newspapers, his
callers, his lunches and wines and cigars.
He had everything except liberty, and it is
an open secret that he had that whenever he
chose, making frequent trips to the opera,
and was even impudently present on the &C.
casion of Grants funeral But leaden footed
justice has at last overtaken him, and, unless
turned from its course, it is reasonable to ex-
pect that he will soon be lodged within the
penitentiary walls, clothed in the stripes and
set to work He will find a different recep-
ton from that at his late quarters, and it
should have salutary effect upon him. His
conviction will do much good in its effect
upon like-minded rascals and swindlers, who
may have felt emboldened to undertake thiev-
ing by wholesale in the expectation Of a re-
spectacle trial and dignifed acquittal

HERE is one passage from the recent speech
of Senator Edmunds, in New York city, which
shows that he waves the bloody shirt with
quite as much vigor as Senator Sherman:
''In the election of members of Congress-
the people of the State of New York have Just
as great interest in the States of Louisiana
and California as they have in this State or in
Vermont, because the Louisianian when he
comes to Washington makes the laws for you,
for me- just as much as for his own State.
They are bound to protect our interests Just
as much as those of the people of the State of
Louisiana. THEREFORE,. EVERY FRAUD.

these beautiful sentiments: eff the Repub-

Peck,s "Bad BOy'' Presented to a Large

The Atkinson Comedy Company pre-
sented "Peck's Bad Boy" at Renshaw's

dience. There is no plot to the play, but
it was full of the most uproarous sort OF
fun Mr.. Williams is q talented young
actor and made an admirable Bad Boy.
with whom the audience got on good fellow
ship at once. Mr.. Common personated
Major Isaac Peck in an acceptable and
pleasing manner. j. w. Gratti made an
admirable German. in dialect and acting,
as Max Schultz, the G~roceryman. Felix
Haney made a capital policeman. LICK
Coleman ably seconded the Bad Boy IN MS
practical tricks and efforts at Illuminating
and proved himself a clever actor. Mrs.
Christine Brown is asinging soubrette OF un.
usual merit and we can give ouly words OF
praise for Miss Lee and Miss Boshee as Mrs.
Peck and Minnie Clay respectively. In
deed, the whole company is admirable, ex.
cept the goat, which is sadly in need OF
training. 1t isn't a 'butter." -,
The play is indescribably funny, n
really closes with the second act, though a
third has been added to bring in a picnic
scene, in which to give scopet to the specialty
talent. The best OF the show comes last.
All the speciality business is OF a high ORDER
and Miss Boshel's dancing alone IS worth
the price OF admission. She is a neat
artistic, doing a very clever and neat act;
MIR. GRATIS mutations are immense, ana
both brought down the house. MISS brown
sings sweetly, and Mr.. MACPHERSON has an
admirable basso voice.
All in all, the performance was one OF uhe
most pleasing ever seen in Butte. IL gives
three hours straight laugh, and no one
having the blues should miss it. others
will not.
The company closes tomorrow night,
with a grand matinee o-morrow al'er-
