So the large real estate owners who were
going to monopolize the government of the
city of New Orleans seem likely to be "hoist
with their own petard," or to have the
poisoned chalice commanded to their own
lips, or to encounter some other such retri-
butive fate. Mr.. John Ray, putative senator,
is to introduce bill providing for the govern
ment of New Orleans, which bill is the same
as that contrived by the real estate owners,
with single exception-that the governor is
to appoint the mayor and the administrators.
This is what the amiable gentlemen who so
kindly consent to relieve the people of this
city Of the charge of their own affairs will
finally bring upon us-a government of car
pet-baggers, chosen by carpetbag governor.
We do not suppose that they contemplated
this result when they began their movement;
but if they presumed that the carpet-baggers
would legislate for their benefit instead of
their own, they displayed an amount OF SIM
plicity which is sufficient proof of their unfit
ness for the task which they have assumed

James Kenney and Thomas Dalton,
indicted for the crime of committing an
assault upon young woman in the
liquor saloon at the corner of Ridge and
Division streets, few nights ago, were
brought up before Recorder Hackett,
yesterday, for final hearing.


Kenney, who pleaded guilty TO the out
rageous crime, was FIRST placed at the bar.
The Recorder addressed him as follows:
Kenney, you were indicted for the COM
mission Of ole Of the most strocious
offenses known to our law, that is, of
having raped young lady. 1t has often
been said that rape is charge easily
made and not very easily proven. In
this case, by your own confession, un-
aided by the complaint of the plaintiff
and other attending circumstances, you
are unquestionably guilty of that most
atrocious offense. i have debated at
some length as to what punishment l
should consign you, end but for other
circumstances, should have awarded you
twenty years imprisonment in the State
prison. 1t seems that this girl, after an
examination made by me, was desirous
that you should marry her, and in some
way atone for this grave offenss which
you committed against her and against
society. Listening to her appeal in that
respect, / consented that that marriage
should take place, and performed the
solemnizstiou ofyour marriage this morn
ing. Now, as you stand in the relation
Of husband and wife, and you have meas
urably stoned for the dishonor and in
fanny which you cast upon her, upon
consideration am led to postpone iudg-
ment in your case only for this reason.
A man like yeu, who did not hesitate for
3 moment to give way to your frenzied
lust and coEmit this crime, would have
no reluctance to 20 before q minister and

ance Of the duties Of husband, for the

The death of this good man, which occur rcd Monday morning last, at tho house of Gray & Co.,, in this town, took our citizens by surprise, and filled their souls with sorrow. Although he had sojourned with us but q short time, his genial disposition, sound prac- tical sense, and great knowledge of mines and mining, won for him the esteem of our peo- pie, who had commenced to look upon him as the savior of this section of the Territory, for the reason that he alone, of all those who have come here to work quartz, had acheived success, and was prepared to prove to all duubters, that, in point of richness, the mines of this vicinity were second to none on the continent. All had faith in him, for his rec ord, which came before him, was good. All believed that he would help us materially in the development of our mines, and he would, had not Providence halted him in the path way of life, and summoned him to appear before the Great White Throne.

LEARNING TRADE VERSUS COLLEGE EDUCATION
1t is question with great many parents
whether to have their sons brought up to some
trade give them college education. If the
former it is claimed that they will always be at
a disadvantage in the world and if the latter it
is thought that they will be impractical. For
our part we think every young man in the land
would be better off if he could, he can, have
BOTH For instance, young man ought not to
enter college before he is twenty-five or twenty
three. Before this age he can easily acquant
himself with some trade, and indeed become
skilled at it. He cannot do it in any diletante
way, kid-gloye fashion, but must roll up his
sleeves, and not be afraid to walk the streets IN
his overalls nor to carry his lunch-pail. We
know of several rich men, S sons that are pursu-
ing Just this course. One is the son OF the pub
Usher of the New York Times. He leaves his ell
egant home every morning, tin-pall in hand, ana
tolls faithfully with the common laborers. In d
year or two more he will prepare for college,
and it will matter little whether he leaves col
lege at twenty-five or thirty. In two points
Americans make very great mistakes. One Is,
in educating their sons at too early an age, anu
the other is, in not fortifying them with trace.
Every man should be master of some trade. no
matter what. Upon this be can iaie Dach when
all other things fail. II should be one OF the
laws of the land that all young men should COM
meuce bv learning q trade. There Is time
enough afterward for education. 1t would De
better for all if so many boys did not enter our
colleges. They have turned them into cir.uses e
and boating clubs. Better If the majority Oh

fessional studies till thirty years old. There is

SLURs on WoMAN.-At a recent meeting in
Boston, at which n0 ladies were present, man
responding to the toast of women" dwelt al
most solely on the trailty of the sex, claiming
that the best of them were little better than
the worst, the chief difference being in the sur
roundings. At the conclusion Of the speech
gentleman rose to his feet and said:


g [ trust the gentleman in his applications
refers to his own mother and sisters, and not
to ours.


The effect Of this most just and timely rebuke
was sOverwhelming-the maligncr of woman was
covered with confusion and shame.


This incident serves an excellent purpose in
pretacing few words which we have for
long time had in our minds to say. OF all the
evils prevailing among young men we know of
none more blightng i'll its moral effects than
the tendency to speak slightly OF the virtue of
women. Nor is there anything in which young
men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low es-
innate they form Of the integrity of woman
not of their own mothers and sisters, thank
God, but of others, who, they forget, are some
body else 5 mothers and sisters.


AS rule, no person who surrcndcrs to
this dcbaSing habit is safe to be trusted with
any enterprise requiring integrity of character.
Plain words should be spoken on this point, for
the evil is general one and deep rooted. Ii
young men arc sometimes thrown into the So
ciety of the thOughtless, they have no more
right to measure other women by what they
see of these than they would have to estimate
the character of honest and respectable citizens
by the developements Of crime i'll our police

Let young men remember their chief happi-
ness in life depends upon their utter faith in
woman. No worldly wisdom, no misanthropiC
philosophy, no generalization, can cover OIL
weaken this fundamental truth. 1t tstands like
