The colored members of the Legislature do not seem to take kindly to the proposition to give the appointment of mnicpal ontfficers to the governor. They have been humbugged once by that oolal--o they declare; and they fancy that they may be humbugged again. Hence the governor, so it is said, sent for a number of the leading colored politicians-not collectively, but separately and promised faithfully to give them a fair showing the next time. These persons sub sequently hld a meeting and compared notes, when it was discovered that the same oiee had been promised to eight of them. What effect this revelation may have on their attitude toward the Bay charter, we cannot conjecture; but it certainly will not augment thei conflored mdence n the individul who acts asre governor of the State. do Ot seem -The udience at the opera last eve theg was pp compact of usual on Saturday night,ce by the most enthusl- of they dec se; aon.

The Diocesan Convention of the Prolsstat Episcopal Church elosed its namnnl sesioa yesur day, after three days of labor. The atMeedlee on the part of the clergy was large, embracing the rector of nearly every parish in the diocese, aend composing a btdy of divinse a whom the Episcopal Chrch my fl a justifiable cofi dense are pride. The preeedling were mased with harmesy sad as evideat desle to forward, by a combined etsrt, the ease of the church throughout the douese; to instruet the young, provie for the seedy, uad ssamas tis sad perfet the misinsary labore is the more mote sections where parishes have not been regularly estalished. The question of the religious education of the colored race onem up sad was dismased, the master being finally left to the discretion of each motor in his respective pariah. Arrageaents were perfected for a more thorough statlestal report of the annual labors of clergymen, ad the salary of the episoopate was ancreased from $4000 to $5000, the assesments therefor being proportionally distributed. The conveation adjourned to meet on Asoension Day, in 1870. Any one who 'huas ever hoard anything of the Mardi Grs festivities In lew Orleans has heard, in connection with them, of the great mask ball which annually winds up the carntral at the St. Charles Theater. It s a fixture, a landmark, a time-honored custom; and an anusement-seker, on Mardi Gras night, would as moon think of find lng the City Hall walking dowan t. Charles mose, upside down, as to pass the doorways of the Old Drury, and not find a blaze of light, and a volume of enticing music issing forth therefrom upon the wistful goaser and listeners without. Well, this year, Major Bob Strong and a number of others, all of them genlal souls, determined, as managers, not that there should be the usual ball given-that was a matter of course-but that none of the festivities chronicled on pat oocaslons should surpass in seat and brilliancy those which ushered in at the St. Charles Theater the forty days of fasting in 1869. Their determination one made, to work they went with a will, and tickets went off like hot cakes, while hundreds, in eager anticipation, awaited the festive gathering. On that night "'After Dark" was played, but It was rushed through, for there was tempting enjoyment be yead, and little feet were pattering in Impatient eagerness to begin the dance. Presto-change. The theater soon became a ball room encircled with tiers, from which spectators might look down upon the merriest of scenes. The orchestra took up its poution for the night at one end of the dress circle, the guests began pouring in. meaked, dominoed, disguised or costumed In every imaginable way; the music struck up, and lo! the ball was under full headway-the man ager's determination was realised. What a scene It was to one looking down upon the floor from the dress circle! How many light hearts, how many flirtations, how many covert intents there were concealed beneath that mass of humanity whleh, arrayed in all the colors of the rainbow, whirled incessantly hither and thither ! How many eyes were turned toward the spot where eat fair little Lotta evidently enjoying the spectacle to view which she had postponed her departure-how many amusing mistakes occurred under the form of supposed recognitions; how as late as two o'clock in the morning, new guests were constantly coming in-how for a few moments General Sherman and his party looked in to get a genuine Idea of how the carnival winds up in New Orleans-how-well, we might go on red infinitum in this strain. There was a capital supper room and bar up stairs, uader the auspices of that famous caterer, Mr. B. Gastinel, and the guests, weary and hungry from much dancing, were not slow to discover the fact. But all joys must have their termination. And so It was that when the grey dawn began to break, and the market wagons were rattling over the stony streets, the first precursors of coming day, the last guests departed homeward, merrily talking of the enjoyments they had found, the lights were extinguished, and so once more the theater where RIstori and iForresti have called forth the plaudits of the populace was still and quiet as the grave. There was a regular polyglot debate in the lower houe yesterday, no less than four languages being spoken in the course of it. The subject which elicited such a multiplicity of tongues was a bill "providing for the observance of the Holy Sabbath," which had been introduced by a cullud person a day or two previous. After considerable pro and con, had been said, Mr. Gutgonet, from Avoyelles parish, asked permlmlon to address the House in French, which being granted, he pro. ceeded to deliver a Gallic discourse, utterly and entirely opposing the measure. The wild boy of Lafourche, known to the world uas Murrell, then took the floor, and in his simple and untaught elo quence advocated In the Ashantee dialect, varied occasionally with choice extracts from Ccngo and AbysmlaWn writers on the subjeot, the passage of th ill. p to tbl timo the eiorne was ftlled with shouts of laughter, for Iotwlthata s the seros nees ofthe subject, the discussion which it evoked was too subimely ludicrous not to excite mirth. But then Mr. Bengatorff of Orleans, rose, and first, by request, speking a short time in German, his native tongue, and then in English, delivered a short, pointed and effective speech, opposing, on general principles, any law which would endeavor to create a consclence for every man, and then force him to obey its dictates-declaring, uas the result of a long experience as a minister of the gospel, his belief that all such enactments were unnecessary and hurtful. The bill was killed per fectly dead by 42 to 23. Now that the carnival, with its multiplicity of balls and other entertainments is over, and that the first feeling of rollef that tired revelers ex. perienced at the prospect of some rest from dancnlog Is puassed away, the young people-and the old people, too-are beginning to look forward to an opportunity to shake off for a season the austerities of Lent, and to agalin enjoy something of the earnival festivity. Such an opportunity will soon be at hand on the 22d-anniversary never dying of the birth of an immortal man. The Con tinetal Benevolet Assoeilation will give their an nual ball at Odd Fellows' Hall. The association is one that has risen from the ashes of the ante bellum and Inter.bellum Continental Guards, and to our old cItizens who knew well the sterling worth and high poitton of Its members, this is suficient to define exactly what the Continental Besevolent Association is. As to their bsll, it will be a magnlacent one, ad con be expected to equal, lif It will not urpass any en tertalament of the sort which has transpired this winter. There will be everything about it to makhe it a success. The haosts will be ooorteous gentlemen, the guests fair ladies, while we can rely upon the Continentals not to forget anything that will in any manner tend to make the ball a complete success. We have been favored by the committee with invitations, whleh, us andoubtedly all will1 do who may be similarly honored, we shall certainly accept.

The CsazcuCr earnestly advises its readers to keep away from the quacks that sell specifics at the Clay statne by the light of lanterns every night. Their nostrums are worthless, the care for head ache and " neurlogy," without counting the other Ills that flesh s heirto, being naught but a decoc tion of a speciee of American hemlock and other drugs, which not only deaden the facial nerves, but put one in exactly the condition to be stupid to robbery and imposition. A dozen son' westers of coffee house whlsky are not half so dangerous, or so injurious, as a dose to care " neuralogy." There is a corn doctor also who sponts about the Clay Statue. His specific is an acid-a mri atic or some equally flesh eating said -which en ters the pores of one's toe and devours corn, beef and all, exposing the bone and causing excru ciating agony after a day or two's action. But, reader, this is not all. We cannot say for we have no proof-that these peripatetic quacks are leagued with pickpockets and garro ters; but night before last nine persons were robbed in the Immediate neighborhood, and four pickpockets were caught in flagrante delicto by the sharp detectives Capt. Cain, the chief of po lice, had set on watch, whilst in the very act of having their hands in the pockets of the geese who were wonderingly looking on at the magical medi caments so eloquently described. There is considerable complaint being made by the Monday subseribers to the Opera House that the programmes offered them savor too much of monotony. For some time they were treated to " La Belle Helene," which, though a beautiful opera and always well snug, rather pall by too frequent repetition. We have been requested to call attention to this fact, and therefore suggeet a reformation. Monday subscribers like a variety. The proposition to order all judicial advertising to be printed in German as well as in EnBlish was yesterday killed in the Legislature. A committee sat upon it and mashed the vitality out of it, whereupon the members gave it a coup-de-grace of adverse votes. Repuiescat in pace, and may its ghost never rise to trouble the legislators with the thought that they allowed one chance of squeezing money out of the people slip through their fingers. Last night, as a well-known citizen was drinking with the writer and several other friends in the Gem, the " well-known citizen " began to tell the story of a popular notary having been robbed of his watch. "Look," he said, " it is impossible for any pickpocket to steal mine," showing the way in which he fastened his guard. The friends, or rather conspirators, gathered around, and one of them took his watch, unknown to him, out of his vest pocket, substituted a silver watch in its stead, and placed it in the pocket. After talking half an hour the "well-known citizen" pulled out his time-piece and discovered the jeAs. He proved quite dumb the remainder of tie sym posium. The fashionable world and the ladies partica. larly will be interested in the fact that Olympe, the famous, is shortly to remove her establish ment nearer to the center of trade. 8he has taken the building known ua the Maseon Doree, formerly occupied by Mr. John Strenna a a ree tamet.

BY JAMI8 PArPON. e [From the New York Ldger.] I- No one who has written of this unfortunate man seems to have qult understood his ease. Nor should I, if I had not spent a few days last sum mer at the Inebriate Asylum at Bilghampton, in n the State of New York. if Edgar A. Poe, like Byron and many others, ap pears to have been a mea whose brain was per manently injured by alcohol, and so injured that there was no saety for him except in total and d eternal abstinence from every intoxicating drink. ' I have ofte bard the late N. P. Willis speak of a Poe's conduct when he was sub-editor of the if Evening Mirror, of wlkb Mr. Willis was one of the editors. Poe, he would ay, was usually one of n the most quiet, regulard getlemadike of men, remarkably neat in his poren, elegant and orderly about his work, aad wholly unexceptionable in conduet sad dememer. But in a week moment. * tempted, perhaps, by a friend, or by the devil opportunity, e would take one glass of wine or . liquor. From that moment he was another belong RBi self-control was gone. Anirresistible thirs' e for strong drink possessed him, and be would n drink, end drink. and drink, as long as he ooul, Slift a glaes to his in If he could not get good. a liquor be would d bad all he desired was something fereely stimulating. He would fre quently keep this up for several days ad nights, until, in ot, his system wa perfectly zhbanste, f and he had been ilken helpless and unretig to bed. There he would lie, miserable and repent ant, until be had in some degree recovered his health, when he weld return to his labor, if the e patience of his employers had not been exhausted. r Having formed this deplorable habit while his brain was immtatre, I believe that it then re ceived an inurable injury, which caused t to 0 generate unsound tohis, opinios rroneous, a and feelings morbid. Hi thin g apparats was Sdmasged, and he cae upon the stage of life with a propensity toward abrdity and extrava gaces. g David Poe, of Maryland, the grandfather of the poet. was an officer of repute in the army of a the revolution. Like masy other soldiers, he r married when the war was over, and settled in n the chief city of his native State-Baltimore. His tl eldest son, who was leo named David, was des . tined to the law, and indue time enteredthe omnoe of a Baltimore lawyer. This son was a ardent, · impetuous youth, on of those ll-balanced young men who may, if mstances favor, perform heroic actions, but who are much more likely to be gnilty of rash and foolish ones. While he was b still pnrsuing Ms stadies, an Eaglish actrees, e named Ellnabeth Arnold, ppared at the Balti more theater. David Poe fe in love with her, so many young fellowi before and see have done with ladies of that profeston. Yore thea that, he married her, abandoned his stadies, adi went ) upon the stae. Having taken this daspate step, he lived for a few yarse the wndring life of a ctr, plying with hi wife in the principal cities of the 8outb, Three children were born to them, of whom Ed. par, the eldest, first ew the light atBIaltimore, in Sl11. Bix years ater, Mr. ead Mrs. David Poe were flfllling an eangagemont at the theater in I Richmond, Va. Within a short time of oe an. aot , bahet dted, lving their three little t children teIiy s eee for.

Le weas sfortn as to attraos the atten I, lon of Mr. John Allan, a rich merchat of Bch. u mend, who adopted him, ad who proceeded to afford him what he coaiddered the best opportsd. tiae for education then eisting. When t he bey warns not quitke seven years of age, be took him to Londoa; and in a village near that city, he pieed tim lHttleu orphan at a boarding. Sschool, where he left him or early flve years. r So far a is known, the hild had not a frtiend, still less a relatio, on ithat ie of the owea.

Suoh a boy as that needed the tenderseas o( women sad the watch ful care of an afectionate ad wise father. He needed love, home, and the minnte, fond attention which rare and curious plants uually rec*ive, but which chlldren seldom do, who are so much more worthy of it, and would reward it so muoch more. He nerded, in short, a that he did not have, and he had in abandace muoh that he did not need. If the truth could be known, it would probably be found that Poe received at this schbool the germ of the evil wholb ay detroyed him. Oertinly, I he failed to cquire theo elf-otrol ad strong r prmoiples whih might hav saved hin.

There he found the r young ud beautif u rOe whom Mr. Allan had recently minrad ; and tolbher. it is said, he paid attentions so marked .bet Mr. llan was at length thoroughly inoensed poalat him, and banished him for ever from his lLule. A more probable version of the story is, 'that Mr. Allan, happy in the society of his wife, Vie lees ptient then befs of Idh prot8g'r dire bialted habits, and was easily set agaust him by II. tb. young lady. However it may be, John Allan di(d soon after, and, though he left a large for. ,tuae, poor Poe's name was ot mentioned in his .il. His deth occurred in 1834, when Poe wan itwenty-thres years of age. The youn man had published a small volume :of poems at Baltimore In 1829. which attrcted rome attention, more on account of the youth of the writer than the merits of the writiUn. Bein cow destute of all resource, he made some en- , deavors to procure literary employment. Fatling It. this, he enlisted in the army as a private eol f ier. While hewas serving in the ranks, he wan recognlsed by officers whom he had known at W" waest Point, who, tar inquiring into his baser Sapplied for his discharge; but belore the docu ;ment arrived Poe deserted. He was not very closely pursued, however, and be soon found him ietf in Baltnmore, a free man, but almost totally d ititute. Then It was that he read Is a paper sa advertisement by tbhe publiUsher of a literary p ricdlcal. offerilg two prizs of 100 each for the best story and the bet poem that should be of fered. Poe sent in both a story and a poem, won both primes, and soon after obtained employment in as editor of the Southern Literary Messenger, the or published at Richmond. ." Again the meas story: steady conduct and in well sustained industry for a short time; then drink, dissipation and discharge. Before he was . imissed he had married his cousin, Virginia Cle Smen a very pretty, amiable girl, and exceedingly at' fond of her erratic husband. The ill provided pair id removed to New York in 1837, wher he continued t. to live during the greater part of the re mt of his of life. Nothina new remanst to be told. He fre ts quently obtained rebpeaO and uticintly lu te cratlve employment, but invariably lost It by mis. conduct, arising, as I think, soely from the effect n, of alcohol on his brain. In October, 184e , in the Scoae of a Southern lecturng tour, he stopped at i Baltimore, where, meetng some of his old com t. panions, be spent a night In a wild debauch, and il was found In the morning In the street sufferlng r from delislam remes. e was takee to the ho. . pitl, wher, n a few days, he died, aged 88. SPoe was a mild looking manu of pale, regular Id atures, with a certain expression of weakness about the mouth, whieh mes often have who are SInfirm of purpose. He had something of the erect Smlltary bearing noticeable In young men who Shave had a military drill in tbhsryooth. What, with , the neatness of hi attire, the entlene of his , m ers, and the pale beauty of his face, he uau o ally excited Bn Intemrest In thoe who met him, and t he remained to the last a favorite with ladles.
