DEATH OF NU. R. I. -'cus .-It is with regret
we anounce the death of this good citizen, good
mereheat and excellent gentlema . As long ago
s 1H39 he entered the shipping house of J. P.
Whitney & Co., as a clerk; but made himself so
seful that it a short time he was admitted to a
fell partmenhip. For many years Mr. hamo.u
managed and dijected the extensive busineas of
that house, and he did it so eaccesfolly that he
became a large proprietor of real estate, and one
ot our heaviest capltalists. His wealth, however,
was never devoted to bae purposes, but was lib
erally dispened in good deeds, and in the cause
of beneoleece. Mr. Somner was fifty four yeort
ofage. While the political and mijtary troubles
of the country lMted he withdrew to Prance,
where he continued util his death, which occurred
in Bisaritz. He was oneof those old citizens wh.
gave credit and character to New Orleans in the
prorperous days of old, which have, unforta
nately, passed away, and we record this tribute to
his virtues with a sigh over the reflection that so
good a man should have been lost to our commu
nity.

The Citizens' Ba.--By processe of law this
wealthy corporation has become possesaed of 1'
large tracts of land. situated in varlou- prt'io'n rt
of the State. Previous to the war, loar; were
made by the bank, secured by mortuages uponp
lands amid nefures. Tihm result of the war di. -
prived it of all claims to property in the lIttme, '1
and nine-tenths of the plaYters lodle'ed il Ct, un
able to meet their notes, or not willing to pay
them in order to secure plantatimns now wo-rt RI
much less than when they were mortgaged. sur
recnered them to the beak, which in consequence
ie the pogseomor of many thousands of acres of 01
land, unuleable at the prices demanded tu tr
cover principal and accumulated interest of the
anount advanced upon them. it
The Cttitece'.Bank can sell these lands at fall el
ptices, and at the same time be the meais of co
erring inestimnable benefilts upon t;is people and
eanetry. If the directors would divide tie large
platations in forty acre tracts and sell them on tr
long etdit to aetual settlers, a flow of imm:gra
tion would be one in.rucdiate resuit. an.d J.e eri , c
teal payment to the bank of the large sums, now
lavested in these landswould be aootler.
In this parishceveral thouaousd o1 asres of fine
lands are thrown ,out of curivauon bec mnee they -
beloeg to the bank. anrod there are none deiru p<

however, the beak may prefer to continus a lilt

CONIRmIRle cIT IMOR.
In publi, a in rivat aias, a bad be
ginnaig i the alm . hlWMal, pMe~ m of
a disastrous emdi Neither a government
nor an indvid oal n., with impunity, defy
logie,eememy. arithmetle; to say nothing of
the juagese wd, ven in tlwe onmlr spre,
includes all of these. Of all follies the folly
of a bad begining is the moat inexcusable
and the most periaiou. Its generative power
is fleful. The greate# dificulties of finane
ate found in combating the consequences of
initial errors, in trying to work out a good
ending trom a bad beginning. The genealogy
of the present trouble with the city currency,
so far as this trouble is a financial question,
can be plainly traced to the original issue of
treasury notes, in the form of paper money,
in artici; ation of the taxes of the city. Taese
notes would, necessarily, under the most fa
viruble conditions, have suffered a dcpre
cat.ion, in some wy, equivalent to the ilitr
eat of the sum which they represented. II
effect, from the moment when they were put
in circulation the people, by reveiving this
sort of n.oLey, and the city government, 'y
pa& iug it out. have alike been paying interest
on the uncollected taxes of the city. Even
when city money was nominally at par, or
nearly so, this interest made itself to be felt
in the net results of its circulation. It could
not Lave been otherwise. What, indeed, gave
to the notes in question a value di.tiuct from
all othtr clusses of city oblgations, was the
fact that thly wi.re issued in the nature of
drafts against the incoming taxes. Th-.-se
drafts were discounted in the act of t-eir
acceptance on the part of th, public. SU)
posing tLe volume of the currency to have
averagedC fourr millions of dollars, the aterl,;e
of tlis dit count can not Lave been less tLan
four huindred thousand dollars a year.
Such i. the price, apart fromi the addition id
discuunt expressed in depreciation from other
than strictly financial causes, which the
people of tLis city have paid fur
the honor of cashing their own
liabilities as tax-payers in the form of dii
conLted lpaptr. Add to this the further loss
resulting from political changes and uncer
taintits, and from official mism.niagement and
profligacy, and it would not be too much to
say that this process of discounting tLe tax
ation of the city has cost the people at the
annual rate of hardly less than a million of
dolhrs. No one in his senses can d-sire to
see it resumed after the int -'iruption of it
;aused by the late panic on the subject of city
money. Every one in his senses must dis
tust, deprecate, and oppose any schc.:fo
which should propose, instead of eradicating
he evil in this case, only to change its form,
md to leave it to operate with progressive ag
ravation in the future. And it does appe ir
o us that the ordinance now before the City
ouncil, and to be acted on by them next
aturday, strikes, not at the root of the evil,
ut merely at one of its dead branchos. TLe
ity currency having been blasted by the late
>anic, it is proposed to lop that off Very
vell, if this be done without injustice, on
he one hand, to those who hold such currency
n good faith as money circulated on the credit
f the city, and without exacting too much
rom the financial resources of the city on the
ther hand. But, at a time when the ma-s of
he population becames daily more and more
inched for money of any sort, it is the ex
ress object of the ordinance referred to to x
inguish city money, and to substitute for it
ertificates of indebtedness which, for what
vdr they may be worth, will be certain to
-a into the hands of a few capitalists as
lock. Nor would this operation reduce in
be least the debt of the city; nor would it
top the discount of the city taxation. It
rould add to the dibt of the city the intre.-t
n whatever amount of currency may remain
fter the sale of the stalls in the thirteen a
larkets, say two and a half millions, Feu,.
osing this amount to be invested in certati. a
ates of indebtedness at eight per cent. inter- t
at per annum. And this interest, formally t
tipulated, would be only another form for t
he unexpressed discount which attended the c
irculation of city money. The people at I
age would no longer have the benefit of the w
loney, but they would have to pay at the nrte
f two hundred thousand dollars per annum c
>wards making it good to a few capitalists in c
a new shape of certificates of indebtednes. t
if course, this formal and specitic addition ti,
se aggregate liabilities of the city could not t
ut lower its credit in the stock murket iu a f
'rrepjonding degree, unless the inrcre, f
ere accompanied by a proportionate n:;;
i-ntation of its financial abiiity. l;at nIo

'a thc-e malicious prosecutions of gentlemen

0o miLation of sickening absurdity is reached
'Jy when the carpet-bag mendicauta and " trooly

fa uocny of a gentleman whose simple word is
l- n (.th more than all the affidavits that they

Un seriously urged is so congruous with the

c't cul.at-buggery, that it surprises no one. It

It secms that the Alathbinam convention k
ae adopted a secret ordinance providing for the t
;e ri-ir: and organizing immediately 1.37 coin
. psiies of volnunter militia, to be paid out of t
r. the b.tute treasury, and. for this pirple, a c
l fund was to be created, derived from the
r property to be seized and captured by tlhseu
irehensile and militant chevaliers. Of courste,
r as this force was to be composed of *loilu"
n men, end as white men-excepting a smrall
s numbtr of vagrant and mendicant carpet
s biC(rs-can never be "ll)il," the Lit v
r- nlitia was to be raised from among the ne
d giees. These troops were, no doubt, to be
o nm ployed as the body gnuard of the " tro),y "'
loil " creatures, who expected to seize on the
v cfiices, and enrich thenrmel.:es by plindering I
if the public. Were any seciet ordinances "
o ado'ptd by the Louisiana menagerie ? }ave i,
t our carpet-baggers, likewise, made arranll- i"
Sments to raise a negro army for the purpose "
of overawing the people and inaintainiug the of
infirmious supremacy which they expect to P
achieve ?/
The "trooly loil" patriots of Richmonl re
have been practicing their usual strategy "
gain in the mi!nipulation of the registry in cu
th.t city during the recent revision. In th
Manrhall ward, for instance, where the assess. o
ment shonas 431 negroes, these "loil" anul air
indefatigable creatures have registered 7'6.
Of course, in pursuance of their " trooly ch
loil" objects, they will extemporize a number p14
of new issue citizens sufficient to represent w
all of the fictitious voters on the registry. I
They will, doubtles, try the same game in
this city. Carpet-baggery is the same every- wJ
where. Vagrant and mendicant "loilty" in cit
Louisiana is the counterpart of vagrant and I '
mendicant " loilty" in Virginia or Alabama. fot
It will che.t wherever it gets a chance, andl br
try to cheat whether it has a chance or not. ,
Let the registrars be on their guard against ha
"trooly loil" frauds. Their duty is .to keep of
out fraudulent votes, as well as to register ani
1 gal v(ters. They cannot be too careful in ct
repistering the new applicants sent up by the t
vigrant and mendicant committees.
Tl.re secms to be, no doubt that the Black q0
Crook Constitution is defeated in Arkansas by th
a direct vote of the people. Thus the ridical. n(
"trooly loil" plan of reconstruction has feill ps
are
as to the first two Statesin which it is brought ah
to a test. Virginia will follow in the same
track, and North Carolina and Texas are sure ra
to go the same way. Thus the bottom falls 1
out of the radical programme, and the con- tle
spirators are at their wits' end. The whole tte
scheme has been devised simply for the pur- tle
pose (f gaining the seventy electoral votes r
of the bouthern States lor the Iepublicia the
candidate; and now it seems that all the plot- ,.
tilg and conspiring; the shauek~ls tyrannies get
ot sheridan and Pope; the disfranchisement of ca
the whitts; the Black Crook conventions; the fea
fraudulent regi.trations, !nd the still more .re
frauduit at elccticcs, arc all fr naught. Even 17
the IpOt nt p!lan ,f declaring the Constituiouns ii
;dopted, vLen they hive, in fact, been re- tol
j, (e:td, oflers no hope ol i.ilroving the sitna
ti< :!. If Alabama a;id Arlkanas are declared 5a I
to ce in the Ininn, and iprnouncc,l to li
"1.il ' enough to vote at the presidential
election, the samue imanirity which voted down ti
tl.e Constituti.,us nwill be coupi tnt to giv i'
the elec'cral v(.t, of th:os,' S:,tes to the Demo
cratic cindiidat.s. It seems, indeed, that if ere
the rmlicals co'rLt on the votes of the South in d£r.
the next (lec'tion, they will only lessen in
ttl'.d] of nIgi .rn'rting tLhir ch:nices of s'i 'ces.i.
This is wbat those romantic creatures are
fond of calling political justice. It is another abr
case of hoisting the engineer with hisown pe

But to begin at the beginning:
At 11 o,'click yesterday we proceeded to the
Ja Lkson laiiruad depot, where we found quita an
U absemblage, comprimsin some of our m'at promi
e ent merchants, and a number of rairoad met
tr<m eiflerCnt parts of the country, all occuuiej
in dicusipg the wario merits of the 1 eo of the
Sbho.r. the aew car, whichdecged tall the bravery
ot flesh paint and varosh, seemed to ohtllrnng
the criticism which it eniited. A hasty survey uo
i- the outside of the car satisfied us of its excel
ls lece, and we passed on to the interior. There it
is that the adetraole complete workmamhip ol
the toi ders displays itself to the best advantage.
- he'anelttng, with rht'rariety of pine, oak, asb.

The transoni of stained glha, are each beauties well

every appointment of the car is as parfec'
as any of Its cla.s we have ever seeu

i;s crownitirg nier:t is that every p. rtioa of the

TiEATERS IN JAPAN.-The Paris Maga!ne
q9ltlts an aninting account of the theaters in
Japan. it seems that at Osaka there are five I
theaters, all in ore street. They are very larg%,
and built on about the same plan as ours, with 0
purquette, boxes and galleries. The musicians n
ase stationed in one corner, and a flooring upon
which the actorg pass back and forth unitea the f
st-ge to the parquette, a curtain falls in front of I
the scene, and there is a dressing room in the
rear.
Tbe representatiins iest all day and a part of
tle night. The spectators eat, drink and smoke
duriLg the pertormances and the intervals. For
tLeir convenience numerous restaurants surround I;
the theaters, and turnish them continually with n
hot nimeals, soup and malled wlne. The women
are diessed in rich and elegant coatumes, so that
tLe eflect of the scene it really brilliant. The
costnmes of the actors are often splendid. The N
scuihn is conducted with much eplri;, andaspecial
gianaus seems manifest for tragedy, which often
ca:,res the entire anid;nce to melt in tears.
Besides the legitimate drama, exhibitions of
feats ol praetijigitation, tight rope dancing, etc..

by cries end clapuing of hands, after the latest
