Sad Fate of the Leland Brothers-A Lively Dead Woiam--The Newman Churhen Squabble-A Notable Lecture-Parson Hampbrey's Treachery-City Politics, Stocks and Suicides. Nmw Yor. March 2,s1884. Eamonw C.IrW: It is nearly a quarter of a century ago since San Francisco was in a blaze of ex citementmo account of the opening of a new hoteL The Occidental was finished, and no man could be found on the Pacific coast competent to open and superintend it. So one was imported from the East, and that man was Lewis Leland, then a dapper young hotel clerk just starting into life. The fame of the LelandBrothers was then at its zenith, and their names as first classhotel keepers-were known in every quarter of the land. When you said shotel was kept by the Lelands you exhausted the vocabulary of ecoomium, for the-simple rea son that there was nothing better. I have known the brothers for many years. It was with profound sorrow that I saw them drop away one by one, andyou canscarcely imagine my feelings when I took up a morning paper to learn that Lewis, one of the most talented and amiable of the brothers, had been sent to a lunatic asylum. When Lewis Leland came to San Fran cisco he was a young man. He had abso lute control of the finest hotel on the Pa cific coast without the investment of a dol ar. He had a magnificent suite of apart mente at his disposal, and thelargest salary that had ever been paid up to that day to any hotel superintendent. At that time it seemed as though Lewis Leland was on the high road to collosal fortune. To-day and almost every -memnber of the family is either with paralysis. Charles had to make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. Young Warren's enterprise at the Coleman ended in a financial disaster. Misfortune after misfortune seems to have overtaken every member of the family, but this last stroke is the cruelest of all. If overwork, anriety and disappointment have wrecked Mr. Leland's health and shattered his in. tellect, it will be a source of unfeigned sor row to the thousands who knew him in his more prosperous days, when the name of Leland assured the passing traveler of all the comforts of a home. On Monday a wretched female tramp was found frozen to death in Rector street. The policeman who discovered her found her incrusted in ice, so that he had to beat off the icicles with his club to get her on a stretcher. He carried her to the station house to all appearances as dead as a mackerel that had been six months in pickle. They entered on the blotter: "Woman found frozen to death in Rector street"-and set the stretcher near the stove so as to have her partially thawed out by the time the undertaker arrived. She had not been'laying there longwhen, to the horror of the officer in charge, she arose from the bier and made it the liveliest time they had seen for several months. It re quired three stout policemen to put her in the cell, and the officer who brought her in swears that the next time he finds a wom an frozen to death he'll be good and sure that she's done to a turn before he' takes her in. Just now our religious feelings are very much excited by the Madison Avenue Con. gregational Council. You have undoubted ly read the story of "The Old Man of the Sea." That's just what Dr. Newman is to the Madison avenue church. Dr. Newman is a Methodist; he has never been anything else; he never has experienced a change of heart; he never has been received in the Congregational Church, but he forces him self on a congregation which does not de sire his services, and when the members who have repredented the church from its formation, request him toretire, instead of exhibiting the humility of which he is con stantly preaching, but which he has never learned to practice, he and his friends re sort to tactics of the prize fighter and the bully, representing their ability to knock their opponentsout according to the Mar quis of Queenabury rules. Npw York has ee many diggraceful squabbla whiphhave helped to bring the churchintoeontempt, and if Dr.-Newman is a sample brick no wonder that pharch pews are empty. For a man who preachee peace, he is as good a specimen of the fight ing parson as could be found in Christe~ dorm. It is sineely to be hoped that he will get his cong6, but he is going to fght it to the court of last resort. It is a dis graceful affair viewed from py standpoint, and one of whih all the parties coneesned should be thorougly ashamed. It is pleasant to be able to say a .good thing ofas ciety juan. for as a general thing your regula so iety pnatpi abaot the moelaeleeassljtpiguii*apt article that can be cuneiveP, ad it was therefore a genuine pleasure to listen to, Maurice . Mintos' lecture on society, on Wednesday last at Ohickering Hall Mr. Mintos sue peeded in getting a representative society audience around himand instead of pan dering to'their preidlees and tastes, he held up their foibles to the most merciless ridicule, especially the un-Ameriea. weak ness of hunting up coatsebf arms and look ing for the roots of their ancestral trees acros the seas. Itis sloapeful sign of the times when a young spiety man like Mr. Mintos breaks the lh ekIesof caste and emanoipates himself fom the slavery wbich fashion imposes, and till more hopeful when for two hours he ucceeds in holding an audience whose vises he lashes and whose follies he imps ,. To many of the audience his stdltnn hmu have been a moral crucifxion. ,t, strange to say, though there was ha~ a fashionable man or woman in the houls that< escaped easti gation, the leoture waixreeeived with well merited applause, an4.t the close wasa perfect triumph. It iws a good, whole some American tonic, tqe more especially valuable at this time that we are deluged with foreign follies aai foreign shams. As a general thing we look upon our Welsh population as among the very best class of foreigngr, adishen they assimi late with us as the very'best of our citizens. It was therefore with considerable surprise that we saw theRev. Griffith 8. Humphrey lougged up before the Commissioners of Charity and Correction, to compel him to provide for a little Humphrey whose mother had no marriage certificate. Miss Jones, the mother, is a comely young Welsh girl, who had been one of thewicked pastor's congregation. When her condi tion was disoavered, a church council sat on the minister, and under a sacred prom ise of marriage, he indueed the young girl to acquit him of the crime and he was re instated in hte church. He then abandoned his unfortunate victim and went off and married another woman, and brought her to the church where the ruined girl might see her. Maddened 4 the sight, and frenzied at the perfidy if her former lover in whom she had put such fatal trust, she applied to the Commiessoners of Charities and Correction, and it is to be hoped that this wolf in sheep's clothing will forever be disbarred from agaie disgracing his sacred calling. It has been a lively week among the poli ticians and among the Rublicans of the city. -Johnny O'Brien is jow the head of the heap. What makes the triumph of Mr. O'Brien more noticeable is that he has usually been recognized as the leader of the Republican roughs-a sort of necessary countercheck to Tammany-and, indeed, one of the entailed evils of our. metropoli tan politics. If John Kelly's constituents voted only once on election day, politics in New York would- be comparatively plain sailing, but they vote early and often, and a gentleman by the name t. O'Bisen can Sname were Andrews, Wheeler or Cooper. To an outsider there may notseem to be much in this, but itf Shakespeare had lived in the Fourteenth ward he never would have asked the absurd question "What's in a name?" Johnny just slew the swallow tails and he did not take them by surprise either, for his tried and trusted lieutenant, Barney Biglin, who had the $50,000 con tract at Castle Garden, is reported as say ing three weeks ago: "Say, lookee here, the swallow tails don't like Johnny. They don't, don't they? Well, we're jest a-going to hump him inter that cheer, and don't you forgit it!" And they did. The moral Tribue is the Turveydrop of Republican politics, and stands most relig iously on deportment. It seldom reports a boxing match, and such a thing as a cock fight or a dog fight never appears in its columns. Base ball and cricket are its mildest forms of dissipation, and even these come to us diluted through the me dium of indifferent reports. The Tribune has ever stood like a wall of rook against the boys. Its usual tactics have been, just previous to election, to send out an active corps of reporters to find out what the boys wanted, and then to shape its course to go the other way-considering the road that led away from the boys as the only path way of safety. For years this high-toned organ has held up Johnny O'Brien as a ter rible exampleof the viciousness of Ameri can polities. To-day and it roars me gently as a saucking dove and seems to think that on the whole, for administrative ability, in dividual honesty, singleneseof purpose and genuine Republicanism the party could not have done better. Whitelaw Reid is a canny child. He finds Mr. O'Brien firmly in control of the elec tion machinery of the city, and he wants a delegation from New York for his friend Blaine. He thinks Johnny is a little at oats with the present administration and he hopes to profit by it. Verily, verily, politics is a queer business, and there is nothing in them half so queer as the political tergiver sations of the moral Tribune. Jay Gould is no longer among us, but still we are not happy. The stock market seems like a water-logged hull; it drifts aimlessly about, and like the wind, no man knoweth whence it cometh or whither it goeth. Still the moths whirr about the Same and every week develops the- social wreek of some bank eashier or trusted clerk who was a religlous professor or church trustee, This week the bookkeeper of a railroad company was found to have fraudulently issued $200,000 worth of stock, and on the discovery of his defaleation he stole $900aL d fled.

Thos. P. Ochiltree. Proposer of the Famoun Lasder Resol tlon. There is probably no other Representa tive in the Forty-eighth Congress whose name is more frequently mentioned throughout the United States, and even in foreign countries, than is that of the above Congressman from Texas. This sudden notoriety has-been due to Mr. Ochiltree's introduction a few weeks ago, in the House of Representatives, of the now famous Lasker resolutions, which Prince Bismark has thrust back upon.Congrees with the in timation that our country should attend to our own affairs. This insult stirs the American heart to resent it, and brings Mr. Oohiltree into a national prominence in connection with the affair which will perpetuate his name in our civil history. Mr. Ochiltree is a resident of Galveston, Texas, and the first native Texan ever elected to our Congrees. He represents twenty-seven counties, which compose the seventh distriot, and comprise over 37,000 square miles of territory, reaching from Galveston on the gulf, to Eagle Pass on the upper Rio Grande. - He was elected to Congress as an Independent by a majority exceeding M900 votes over Findlay, the Democratic candidate. After receiving a limited education in the public schools of his State, at the age of 17 he became a private in the Texas Rangers, and was engaged in the campaign against the Apache and Comanche Indians in 1854 35. When the war broke out Mr. Ochiltree went in the Confederacy, and his war rec ord on the staffs of Generals Green, Tay lor and Sibley is replete with incidents of bravery that would have been more profita ble in a better cause. But when the victori ons army of the North had suppressed the rebellion, CoL Ochiltree aecepted the new order of things in good faith, and in time was appointed United ats of was appointed United StatesCommislsioner of Emigration to Europe, in which capaeity he several times visited foreign countries, and when in Berlin had numerous audi ences with Bismarek on emigration affairs. In personal appearance Mr. Ochiltree is ,one of the original freaks of human .na ture. Heavy set, with canary colored un kempt hair and a heavy light colored mus tache, eyes twinkling with good nature, a ruddy complexion, protruding lips and rather antiquated dress, he is a striking oddity in the present Congress, but very popular and always the centre of a group of attentive listeners.

The Chambers of Commerce of New Orleans, Vicksburg and Other cities of the valley have cordially approved and thanked the President by spedel resolu tions adopted.

The withdrawalof Meers.Jcohn . Stone, nominee for Auditor, and Dr." Dperier, nominee for State Treasurer on the Re publican ticket, has given he State cen tral executive committee the opportunity, under the resolation of the State conven tion, to put on Republican names in their places and remedy a serious defect in its composition. There is no use in trying to mix oil with water, andno possible advan tase can reesult from carrying thenamss of Democrats without pledges on Republican tickets. Mr. L. Bonano of New Orleans has accepted the nomination for State Treasurer in a letter whieh does credit even to a Unionist and Republican of good record as a citizen and o.miad. Mr.Alfred Shaw is qualifed for the Attorney General. ship, is also a Unionist and a Bepublican. The Republican ticket is now equal and poesibly superior to the Demooratie one, in the popularity, ability and personal integ rity of the candidates. Every Republican may register, work andvete for the ticket as now constituted, with the assurane that it is worthy of all efforts to elect it. And no citizen of Louisiana tired of ring rule, shameless manipulations of the ballot boxes, destruction of the publi school sys tem and the uncertain attitude of Demoo. racy on protective tariff queellons, need hesitate one moment in giving it a prefer ence over its competitor. Let thiese eit ens ajoin, becom part and parel, bring their wealth andintelligence where it will be welcomed, and unity mind and muscle in the work of securing better government for Louisiana.
