A son of Dion Boucicault, the famous Amerioan au hor and actor, was killed a short time since in a railway accident near Hunting don, Edgland. The Detroit Free Press says that the Missis sippi River is " eating" its way around Cairo. A river that can eat anything fifteen hundred miles from its mouth ought never to be in danger of starving.

We are in receipt ot ihe dedicatory address d elivered at the opening of the new hall of the Merchant's Exchange, in St. Louis, Mo., James B. Eads, Esq , on the 21st of De cember, 1875. The address is Tery logically and elegantly written, and was, we under stand, delivered in the most eloquent manner. Marshal Boult, onoe showing the pictures he stole in Spain, stopped before one and re marked: "I value that picture very much; it saved the lives of two estimable persons." An aid-de-camp whispered in the listener's ear: " lie threatened to have them both shot im mediately uuless they gave it np." i I ■ j ! a a 1 : I ! [ i We are much pleased to see in onr city Mr. Andrew Jackson, who, in ante-bellum times, was attached to the New Orleans Orescent. Mr. Jackson is now engaged in a most profit able business in Baton Rouge, and his old j newspaper friends in this city heartily wish him a continuance of prosperity. A Chinaman in California, whose life was insured for a very large amount, was seriously hart by falling from a wagon. There was some doubt of his ever getting better, and at length one of his friends wrote to the insur ance company. "Charley half dead; like half money," St. Patrick's Fair. —No entertaimeut an nounced during these many years has awakened more interest than the fair for the benefit of St. Patrick's parish, which will open on Friday evening, 28'.h inst., at St Patrick's Hall. The spleudid span of horses and buggy, which appeared on Camp street yesterday and attracted the attention of all who saw the turnout, is one of the prizes for which there will be a most exciting contest The ladies who are to have charge of the tables are re quested to meet in the hall to-day, Thursday, at 12 o'clock M. A white demagogue named Miller is re ported to be going about in the northern coun ties of Alabama, urging the blacks to petition Congress to assign them a part of the State as a reservation from which the whites shall be rigoronsly excluded. Planters are complain ing that his untimely and seditious addresses are producing much discontent and restless ness among their laborers, though there ap pears to be no law under which he can be abated, even as a nuisance. Yesterday evening the New Orleans Bulle tin furnished its readers with the following information: "The transcript in the Newton case has been received at the Executive office and is iD possession of the Governor." In republishing this item the will add just these additional points. 1. lue case of Alexander Newton is still before the : courts and has not reached a final result. 2. The transcript in the aforesaid case has not been received at the Executive office. 3 It is not in the possession of the Governor. — Re- , publican . The information "furnished its readers" by the BrLU.TiN was correct, aud the "additional points" added by the RepiMica* are incor rect. First, the case of Alexander Newton is j not before the courts, and has reached a final j result. Second, the transcript in the afore- : slid case has been received at the Executive office. Third, it is in the possession of the Governor. Try again, and then talk again of "ihe imaginative powers of the reporters I j ' A , ! of ! is THE RAIL ROAD MEETING. The assemblage at St. Patrick's Hall last night was a remarkable manifestation of pub lic interest in an enterprise on which the fature welfare of onr city largely depends. We remember no gathering of oar citizons in which there was so much of the solid ele ment, both in respect of intelligence and of the amount of capital and business repre sented. Gentlemen were present who have seldom before been seen in a secular public assembly, being drawn by an intense interest in the matter at issne. They feel the slow destruction tl^at _ t j H settling down upon the commerce of New Orleans, and they are earnestly seeking the means to avert it. A spirit of serious, aimost | anxious, attention pervaded the largeaud.ence, and the facts, very ably presented and illus . Irated, were eagerly appreciated and will not ba forgotten. We have, to the exclusion of much other matter, made room for the eloquent and able addresses delivered, to which wo invite the studious attention of those who had not the opportunity to hear them. The speech of Col. New was one of the ablest of that orator's efforts, lie seemed to have more than hisusud brilliance, force and pathos, doubtless in spired in part by the grandeur of his theme, an ,i the full appreciation of unusually iutel ligent and appreciative listeners. The speech was not only full of fervor and electric energy, but ft was classically elegant in style. We trust that the meeting and the address es will have a wide, salutary and permanent influence, and give to the great work a new and strong impetus. A rad way connection between New Orleans and Northeastern Texas is a vital necessity, which the brains, the will and the public spirit of this city and State can and must supply. We commend the able speeches made by Gen. Bussey, Gen. lliwthorco and Judge Elam to onr readers and to all those interested in this grand project for the relief New Orleans. They will be found full of cogent reasoning and unanswerable arguments in favor of this route to Texas, and we suspect will convince every doubting Thomas, if any there now be in our city, of the feasability of the work and of its imperative necessity to New Orleans. ! 1 I ! ! I | i COST OF 0ITY GOVERNMENT. In spite of the opposition of Mayor Lieds, i the City Council has mapped out for the cur rent year a schedule of expenditures amount I ing to a grand total of $3,449,182. E dually ■ without the consent, and in spite of the j earnest argument and protestations ot his Honor, the Board of Administrators have re ! solved to meet these expenses, in part, by levying a tax of one hundred and fifty cents on each one hundred dollars of taxable property as assessed, the now corrected roll of assessments amounting to $119,045.515. There are four distinct taxes included in the above: To redeem and pay in terest on city bonds, a tax of twenty-six cents on each hundred dollars; to support tho po lice force of the city, a tax of forty-two cents; to support public schools, twenty-five cants, and to pay the current expenses of the city fifty-seven c-.-nts, or a total tax of one and a half per cent, which, if collected in full, would yield $1,785,682. Judging the experience of the past few years it is not probable that more than one and a half millions will be collected before the end of tho year. If business is no botter than it has been for the past three years a still largor pro portion of the tax of 1870 will pass into the class of back taxes. Much property is wholly non-productive, and a great deal more is pro ducing less than enough to pay for repairs, insurance and a very moderate tax. Tax de faults for 1875 and preceding years amount to millions of dollars, and as the means of enforc ing payment are no greater, while the ability to pay is not increased, the Council can not Cft i C ulate upou a much smaller percentage of ______ ___________ charged to freight or ... b . agents, bottlers, brass delinquency than heretofore. Licenses are expected to yield another large sum, between $400,000 aud $500,000. A sir aller proportion of the revenue from this source is liable to bo lost to the city than of taxes, owing to the liability of any unli censed place of business to be closed and to other stringent penalties for non-payment The license tax is put upon about two hun dred and sixty kinds of business, and reaches almost every profession and vocation. The largest license is that paid by a lottery com pany, $2500. A license of $1000 is charged for a bar-room with theatrical performances, while a bar-room or cofl'ae-house without a theater is $100, and a theater without a bar room $250. Banks, banking-houses, compa nies and agencies pay $1000, as do insurance companies if mixed or combined. A license ot $500 is charged for each pawn-broker, to each fire, river, marine or accident insurance com pany, race course, slaughter-hon.se, sugar shed, private underwriter. A license of $250 is charged for each commercial agency, am phitheater, cock-pit, junk store, museum, opera-house, premises not strictly private, or thea er. Exchauge dealers pay S300, also private markets. A license of $200 is charged for dry-docks, express companies and trans portation compauies. A license of $100 is charged tor ship agencies, agents selling by sample, auctioneers, bar-rooms, ball-rooms, billiard saloons, boarding houses selling li quors. ship brokers, cabarets, cotton gins, cotton pickeries, coffee-houses, confection erv where liquors are sold, merchants, iron foundry and machine shop, wholesale grocery, public hall, wholesale merchant, sugar refluery, restaurant, stock dealer or undertaker. A license of $50 is ticket agents, lottery foundry, produce and merchandise brokers, real estate, house and stock brokers, confectioneries, cottoa brokers, family grocery where liquors are kept or sold, hawkers of imitation jewelry, clothing or dry goods, private hospital, towboat or job boat, saw-mill, ship yard, steamboat agent, cake and soda water stands, stock dealer and ten-pin alley. Each cotton press pays $150, each warehouse $75, each coffee-house with instrumental music $750. The most numerous avocations are assessed for license tax ranging from $20 to $5. If taxes amd licenses for 1870 were paid in full, there would still be a large deficit, which : ! ( j from I - j ; ■ I j ! commission of ! it is expected will be made np oat of receipts from back taxes. The estimated expenditures are, in part, as I follows: The office expenses, salaries and dis* 1 bursements of the several departments: Im provements $408,050, Waterworks and Public Buildings $135,000, Police (Administrator of) $52,450, Commerce $25,800, Finance $22,000, Accounts $15,000, Assessments $21,500, Mayor's office $6500, City Hall BuildiDg $5000, City Council $3000, Surveyor's office $23,040, printing $10,500, tax-bills, etc., $12,000, and , City Attorney's'office $11,400, amounting to : $752,440. The Board of Health calls for $20,000, lighting the city $177,000, Fire De _______, „ ........... i p ar tment $109,400, salaries of the Mayor and Administrators $49,500, criminal justice $181, j law charges, orphans, Coroners, judg etc., $115,288. For interest and re ,i eEn p»iorA of city debt, the budget allows $1,307,500, metropolitan police $400.000, ! public schools $223,200, park $50,000. 1 The metropolitan police tax collected in full would amount to $499,000, and the full I school tax $297,000, but only the amounts ! supposed to be collectible are given. From this it would appear that the council estimate a general default in tax collections amounting to twenty per cent. ! Such is a condensed statement of the re I sources and prospective expenditures of the city government, which constitutes about ns strong an appeal as can be presented lor such iinme | diate legislation by onr General Assembly as i will remove a part of this crushing and destructive load. A SUGGESTION. Trns'ing that our comments will be re ceived in the proper spirit, and that we shall not be considered as traveling out of the field ot journalistic functions, we would suggest to : the members of the General Assembly, and ! especially to those of the House, that they ( would save much valuable time by giving j wider authority to their presiding officer. When dilatory motions are made, which the speaker knows to be contrary to tho Wishes of four-tilths of tho members present, it ought to be left discretionary with him to refuse to entertain them or not, at his personal op tion. Rules aro made to facilitate, to regulate, to systematize aud to render effective the work of legislation ; but they are often in voked for the very evident purpose of hinder ing, retarding and disorganizing that work. They are intended for the protection of mem beas in the enjoyment of their privileges, but they are abused by the few ! who have no respect for the wishes ! or comfort of the many. They are designed ! to secure a due degree of deliberation in the j passage of bills, but they are invoked for the ! palpable purpose of defeating all proceedings ! at their successive stages. They are intended | to protect minorities, and when carefully i made and enforced in a proper aud honest , spirit they benefit all ; but they are abused I when minorities invoke them merely to waste time and defeat action. A rule that is designti to serve as a brake to the machinery of legis- I lation is perverted from that design when it is 1 thrust in to block the wheels. The Speaker, having the confidence of a large majority, ought to have sufficient au thority to check this abuse and to protect j I Himself and all other friends of fair dealing - in tho House against these shuffling tricks of parliamentary tactics. The House can give | j to their presiding officer all the discretion he i ; needs by merely adopting a resolution which will authorize him to refuse to enter ain dila- I tory motions when it is evident that such motions are made with a view of merely con ■ Burning time aud causing annoyance to mem bers in general. Such a resolution would I have the force and effect of a supplemental j rule to prevent a wanton abuse ot other raies. It is a common trick of those members who are bent on annoying their opponents to call j for the yeas and nays with no other purpose ; ! than to consume time. This is an abuse of privilege which can be restrained, but can not be completely prevented. Eich call as-j sûmes ten minutes or more of timo which 1 costs the State about $600 an hour. If it is the constitutional right ot members to call for the recorded vote of the House, it is do less the parliamentary right of tho Speaker , and members to have the call formally made J by a member who rises and Is recognized by the Chair as having the floor, and the call should then be seconded in the same decent and formal manner. When a call is made and seconded in due form, aud w ith proper ' respect for the Speaker and members, it must 1 be entertained, but those few who are inclined to give annoyance by needless calls for the yeas and nays, seldom make much by their , action in the long run. ■ : I I ■ i i 1 * | ; ■ ; j j ; I ! I I BUJÏK0 INVESTIGATION REDIVIVÜS. The House Committee on Metro politan Po lice Affiirs, it appears, after digeging the tes timony taken before the Board of Metropoli tan Police in the matter of bunko, have come to the conclusion that the decision of the board in acquitting the Superintendent of Po lie» was not warranted by the facts, and they propose, as we are informed, to take up the matter themselves. The committee's sessions are held with closed doors. The evidence given before them does not involve the same publicity as that given before the ordinary courts of justice. We oommend this great advantage to the many victims cf mysterious bunko, who -silently chew the cud of bitter disappoint ment and egregious fl-ecing. In the com mittee they will find a sympathizing body o f gentlemen, who are hard at work seeking after the truth that lies at the bottom of this mysterious abomiuation, bunko. The com. mittee are straining every nerve to reach the "head and front of this effen.-e." They are on the track of and intend to find whoss is "the gilded purse that buys off justice," and just exactly how it is done. We are assured that no individual evi. deuce on this sulject will be published, thus removing the two great obs'acles to in vestigations and trials before courts of justice: the sense cf shame in the victim and the fear of publicity. Lit »11 who "have been there themselves and know how it is, pour their grievous experiences in the friendly ears of the committee. The committee intend to boil down their evidence, dilatingou no individua 1 as dis* Im of) and to for De case or mentioning names. Come up, ye vic ! Aims, " And find relief in bidding sorrow flow." THE INJUSTICE OF FREE SCHOOLS. HIGH and re in full re city as and re to and the of to op the in ! ! ! j ! ! | i , I I is 1 a j of | i I j ; 1 , J ' 1 , Eliot, President of Harvard University, re ports that 31 in each hundred of the students of that institution have been prepared for entry at public schools. In a recent letter to Prof. Jones, of the Vanderbilt (Methodist) University of Tennessee, he says that he i» not in favor of supporting schools above the grammar-school grade com pletely by taxation. It is his opiuion that the means of acquiring a plain, ■ primary, or English common-school ednea : tion should bo given free by tho State, tint I that scientific or classical education should be paid for chiefly by the parent, except in cases of a few very promising lads wt o may properly have the benefit of free scholarships I when too poor to pay for their tuition in ■ academic schools. Scarcely one boy in fifty i in cities or one in a hundred in the country receives an academic education sufficient to li i him for entering college, and it is in the opinion 1 of Prof. Eiiot an unjust burden upon the * parents of the many to tax them for high | schools for the benefit of the few. The ; eminent schol^'s letter concludes as follows: So far as is possible, money raised by taxa tion should be applied to objects of dir -c> ■ universal benefit, aud should not be used for ; the direct bent lit of what must inevitably b» a small class iu the community. In good j times und iu a prosperous Slate perhaps one chdd in fifty can go to a high school. The indirect benefit which the community will probably receive from that one etiild out ot fifty is just ground for some public contribu tion to its advanced education, but does not justify the State iu paying the whole cost oi that education. Now, elementary education, on the contrary, is of direct aud univers il benefit, and is not only a legitimate, but thi most legitimate public charge. I am an advo cate of compulsory elementary education, and of an enforced reading and writing test tor the ballot, because, al hough education alone will not preserve tree institutions, diffused ele mentary education is one of the essential can ditious of the lormation of that sound national character upon which tho safety of our politi cal institutions does absolutely depend. But the secondary and superior education seem to me to stand upon a different basis. They, too, are nece-sary to the State ; but the selected individuals who receive such prolonged train ing profit so much personally that they or their parents should pay part of the cost. Our system of schools must be a just one, or it will not be enduring. To tax a town ot 8000 families for the whole cost of educating up to their eighteenth year the children of 400 families, is a conspicuous iu justice which can not be said to be without remedy. Therefore, I think this practice a detrimental one, the interests of the public schools alone being considered. I have been told that this is an aristocratic view; bat on the contrary, it seems to me an emi ; nently democratic principle that people who have special privileges should pay for them, at Fast in part. As to trying to make fine culture the possession of the many, we all know that that is quite imposable. As well expect to make all man poets. The real es sence of the solidarity ot primary schools and universities seems to me to be in their com mon aim aud motive. Together they work in purity and uplift humanity; alike they " make for righteousness." D-Lseases of the Eye and Ear, Dr. C. BRARD, Occultât, 14............DAUPHINS STREET_._____It Orleans Iuflrmary.
