Charles Lenox Remond, an eloquent col ored orator, of Massachusetts, a fugitive from slavery, and an earnest anti-slavery politician for many years, was a Democratic candidate for representative to the Massa chusetts Legislature at the recent election. A worthy woman in Iowa drove the reaper through the harvest for he r husband, and then closed her labors by taking a rake in the shape of one of the farm hands, with whom she departed to lresb fields and pas tures new. The St. Louis girls were so badly fright ened by the experience of one of their num ber who dislocated her neck while resisting a kiss, that now they bold their lips in the softest and most comfortable position when ever they see a man anywhere near. A story is told of a lecture before the agricultural college students at Amherst, on grape culture, in which the lecturer presented a bottle of wine made from his own grapes, and requested the class to sip it to test its quality. The bottle only lasted to the third man. A little boy at Oconto, Wisconsin, during the big fires, ran back to school to save his books. His parents found him next day, and, alter wiping some of him out of their eyes, buried him in a sardine box. Dear children, let this be a lesson to you neverto go to school. An ingenious wife in Des Moines has dis covered the means of curing her lesser half of snoring, and-it is this: She has a gutta pen-ha pipe with cube-shaped ends; one she puts over his nose and mouth, and the other over his ears; thus he consumes his ■own noise as a stove does its smoke. It is suspected that Theodore Tilton has pun-based an interest in a hot house and a jewelry store, for he says: "A man who loves a woman, both her body and soul, for time and eternity, will put upon her both flowers and jewels, thereby equally to cele brate his passing passion and his immortal ■lame.'' The plan for the consolidation of the internal revenue collection districts, con templated for some lime, will not be carried ■out the present fiscal year, except in one or two districts where the work of the col lectors has fallen off under the amended law so as to absolutely necessitate a reduc tion of the force. The "Banker Poet," as Charles Sprague, •of Boston, has been pleasantly named, reached the round period of four score on the twenty-sixth ultimo, fifty years having elapsed since he became known far beyond the limits of his native city by liis prize ode, delivered at the opening of the Park Theatre, New York. Elizabeth K. Churchill well says that neither God nor man expects a wife to sub mit to brutality, but woman who, finding herself outgrowing her husband, or disap pointed in him, yet takes up tier cross and, fitting her shoulders to it, bears it in silence to her life's end, has joys that the world knows not of, and reaches the highest type of womanhood. Some time since Commissioner Baker bad his attention called to a remarkable order given by Secretary Harlan, when Secretary -of the Interior, the effect of which was to place a large number of Cherokee Indians on the pension rolls. Upon investigation he liecame satisfied that nearly all these were improperly granted, and he has suspended payment on three hundred and two. The matter is now under investigation.

A FSW THIHG8 TO BEFOUL We have, on a former occasion, given our reasons for urging upon the people a general reform of the abuses which have crept into our local political system. We are very much in earnest in the matter, and shall pursue the subject with all that tenacity that characterized the Repcb ucan in the dark days when we were struggling almost unaided against the le gions of enemies of freedom and equal rights. Having lived to see oar hopes re alized in regald to the former, we shall now turn oar attention to the important duty of instructing oar people in the knowledge of political economy and true reform. We shall hail with delight all earnest and true co-laborers who may help to work in the vineyard. Some of oar contemporaries have fa vored similar ideas and already shown a disposition to lend a helping hand, and not a few professional politicians are pre paring to follow in our wake. Among ttie more hopeful of reform Among ttie more hopeful signs of reform which have recently come to light are the resolutions adopted by the Customhouse central committee day before yesterday. These resolutions were moved by Colonel George W. Carter, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and seconded by Lieu tenant Governor Dunn, President of the Senate. These two gentlemen occupy positions which naturally give them a very important influence over the Legis lature, and make them valuable auxiliaries in the good work, if they are sincere in their professions, and will take hold with a will and in good faith. For instance, if Mr. Carter will stand by his resolutions, we will not again be pained by the spectacle which has once been wit nessed at the close of a session of our General Assembly. When it was stated many of the members were intoxicated and among others the Speaker himself, and the greatest confusion prevailed for two hours or more before the final ad journment, and which condition of affairs was taken advantage of by Speaker Carter to declare various resolutions passed, au thorizing committees to sit during vaca tion, and to perambulate the State at an expense of forty cents a mile. And on the strength or pretense of which about $200,000 in certificates have been issued by him to various parties, himself com ing in for a full share as a member of some of these committees. If be sticks to his good resolves, which he in troduced in the central committee of the late ticket convention, he will not at tempt to use his official position to force any company, for instance, like, the Levee Company, to give him numerous shares of stock and money under the pretense and boast that he carried "the House in his breeches pocket," and would defeat the bill unless his interests were provided for in consideration of his influence, which, he said, was "worth more than the money of the incorporators." If he sticks to his new resolves we shall not expect him to realize five thousand dollars from the sale of legislative warrants as his part of the profits of the sale. If he holds fast to the new faith, we shall expect him to desist from the attempt to take the control and the property of the Waterworks away from the city without its consent, and give them to a crowd of his co-conspirators in the movement We shall not fear that he will again conspire with the Secretary of State to fraudulently promulgate the Crescent City Waterworks bill before it receives lawful approval. ®*poct to co-operate in passing the For all these things will be embraced in the new and glorious reform of which he is a professed disciple. If Lieutenant Governor Dunn remains faithful to his new resolves, which he so ably seconded in the committee, we shall bill introduced into the Senate last winter, which provided for reducing the expenses of the Metropolitan Police Department four hundred thousand dollars per annum, and which was delayed by his connivance and was finally stolen, so as to defeat action upon it. But this was before he seconded Carter's reform resolution. And we shall exjiect him to be satisfied with his salary as Lieutenant Governor, and lop off the $1000 he now receives as president of the Metropolitan Police Board; the $480 he receives as president of the Senate, and the additional $480 he draws as chairman of the veteran com mission, etc. If these two gentlemen remain steadfast in their promises of reformation, and will help on the good work, we shall expect a sweeping reform on their part, and our stockholders will not he called upon to give them three hundred shares of the stock of this company at their own es 'rnate of its value, or submit to be de rived of our contract as public printers. And if they are quite earnest and sin cere in advocating reform in public ex penditures, we shall expect that they will not in the future, as they have in the past, give every little Dunn and Carter newspaper in the country a contract for publishing the laws, and which involves an annual expenditure of more Gy»n $125,000. We shall expect the magnifi cent State House scheme, which they have originated, and, as- we are informed, intend to burden the taxpayers with, by additional legislation will be abandoned. We shall expect John Ray to he satis fied with the $75,000 Le has received for his Revised Statutes, Codes and Digest; that Casey, Herwig Dillingham, Wolfley Co. will he content with their water works, levee, shed, warehouse company, etc. Colonel Lowell must l> e satisfied with his Ship island profits, and Marshal Packard rest on the gains derived from his Nicolson pavement scheme. We are decidedly for the reform pro posed, and' bid Carter, Dunn, Ray, Lowell, Packard, Dillingham, Casey, Wolfley *k Co. godspeed in the great re form movement which they propose, but which we doubt very much their honest purpose to carry out Charles Francis Adams, John Quincy Adams, Edward Atkinson, George Ban croft, Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Lloyd Garrison, Longfellow, Sumner and Whipple are members of the Cobden Club London. The smoke of the political contest has now oleazed away in New York, and the result is known. Two of the prominent and striking features already developed are the election of William M. Tweed and the defeat of Horatio Seymour, both candidates for the State Senate. For one moment, on a recent occasion, forgetting the precept that we can not expect figs to grow on thistles, or grapes on thorns, we spoke hopefully of the possible election of Mr. Seymour. This was done not be-* cause we preferred him to his competitor, whom we suppose to be a good Repub lican, and whose election satisfies us entirely, but because he is a remarkable exception to the ordinaiy run of Demo cratic candidates. The party made an exception in his favor, by placing in nom ination an honest, pure minded, intelli gent man for an important office, and we may be pardoned if we felt a desire to see the experiment crowned with success, in order that it might be taken as a good example to be followed by that party everywhere. And as his opponent is a Republican, and consequently a patriot, we are satisfied that he would have found in a circumstance so gratifying and unex pected sufficient satisfaction to compen sate for his own personal disappointment But such a result did not come. Mr. Seymour is merely an honest Democrat of the old school. He stands almost alone, or at least surrounded by but feu followers, not enough to secure his elec tion, and his Republican competitor carries off the honors of the victory. But away in another part of the State, in the commercial metropolis of the re public, we find the party true to its mod ern instincts. William M. Tweed is one of the newest of Democratic leaders. He was fledged in the school of Fernando Wood during the war, and soon found means to improve upon the practices of his tutor. He has grown rich by bare faced frauds, and perpetuated his power by the very money he has made by them. He openly boasts of owning, politically speaking, the two city wards embraced in his senatorial district And the result proves this to be no idle boast. He h.ua massed his legions of corrupt, ignorant, besotted adherents at the polls, and secured his election despite the opposition of the better men of his own party, who put up a reform candidate and gave him their feeble support Such are the fruits of modern Democracy. Such will be wel comed by the faithful throughout the country as a Democratic victory. Horatio Seymour, the gentleman, the statesman and the patriot is neglected by his own following, while the party rallies its for lorn hope to save Tweed, the proclaimed peculator, and brings him off in triumph. This is the fruit of Democratic honesty. We had a rather better opinion of the honesty of our political opponents in the rural districts, but our eyes are open to the error. Fortunately for the interests of all the people in the State of New York, there will be enough Republicans in the Senate to render Tweed harmless and Seymour unnecessary. But to which party does the credit of such a condition of affairs belong Certainly not to that which is responsible for the election of such men as Tweed. SHALL SILENCE PREVAIL? SHALL SILENCE PREVAIL? After paying the Republican a hand some compliment for its sense and patriot ism in indorsing Horatio Seymour as a good and worthy candidate for the, New York Legislature, the New Orleans Pric Current clouds its very amiable proposition with a remark that was not called for, and which was not true. It says that we are not always just and reasonable, but that we are given sometimes to the utterance of suggestions that, "like a baleful shadow, darkens our social surface, and reflect us abroad in the darkest hues. This saying of the Price Current is not wise, for this reason, that the suggestions which we make are founded upon what we consider to be the truth, and are pub lished, not for the purpose of darkening the social surface, but for the better pur pose of polishing it. Evils exist in every community, and the duty of the press is to point them out and ask for their cor rection. Intelligent citizens look at so ciety from different stand points, and de fects which appear to one do not appear to others at the same time or of the same magnitude. Our focus scans one side of the commercial, social and political hori zon while that of the Price Current ob serves another. The evils that manifest themselves to os, fail of detection by our neighbor, but that does not destroy them. And it is just as much our duty to declaim against the defects that appear to us as it is his duty to de nounce those that are patent to him. And it is far worse to remain silent than it is to speak out, for if we fail to an nounce the disease it will overthrow us, while if we declare against it the world will say these people know their trouble and will surely proceed to remedy it. While the frauds which are now well un derstood in New Y'ork were being investi gated certain timid parties said that it would iDjure the city to declare how ruin ously she had been misgoverned. Does the Price Current indorse this idea If it does it can not understand the view we take of public duty. A GREAT ACTOR. Edwin Forrest, the actor, known far and wide as the "great American trage dian, will be in New Orleans next week to fill an engagement at the St. Charles Theatre. He is seventy years of age, and the public has been prepared since a long time to hear of his retirement from the stage. In fact, Mr. Forrest has often advertised his final appearance, and, we doubt not, with a perfectly honest intention and a sincere disposition to retire from the labors and triumphs that have made him famous for half a century. But his nature, which demanded exertion; his system, which would not break, and his love of the pro fession, which refused to quit him, still maintain their sway over his actions and devote him to the work for which he was originally fashioned. In this respect he who often gave out that they had retired from political life, but Who as often reap peared in that arena where their services were wanted, where their affections continued to linger, and where alone they were prepared to labor. All 6? our statesmen have died in harness. General Washington occupied his last moments in thinking of his be loved country, and in framing advice to his countrymen. Jefferson, at Monti cello, was a political thinker and worker until his death. General Jackson was the fountain of Democratic power up to the last moment of his stirring life. And his great rival, the beloved Clay, died in the midst of his devouring desire to compro mise the troubles that threatened the L nion with disruption. Like these men, Forrest still holds to the character and and the profession which ha« engrossed his life. He is possessed of a vitality which refused to remain inactive, and since he can be nothing but an actor, he continues to act. The Cincinnati Commercial, which is a truthful and reliable paper in all things, reports the appearance of Mr. Forrest in that city, and in an extended criticism of his performances, credits him with an ex cellence that is not marred by his ex tended age. He is better, if anything, his physical energy being amply sufficient to sustain him in the characters which he assumes, while his large experience and long practice make him a greater master of his own passions and the feelings of his audience than he ever exercised before. His voice is mellowed and better educated, and yet his physique shows no signs of the waste of age. His engagement in Cincin nati has been a great histrionic triumph, reflecting all the old glory of the legitimate drama. Mr. Forrest is a man of whom Americans are proud. He was the first to contend for excellence over imported stars, and he has lived to see his struggle obtain a victory. He has thousands of friends in New Or leans, and his coming will always be hailed with pleasure. SPITE AND BUSINESS. The New York Commercial Advertiser publishes a little paragraph that would do credit to any of our domestic Ku-Klux organs: New Orleans very kindly offers to relieve Chicago in the hour of woe by doing her business. She advises Chicago merchants to ship their cereals down the Mississippi. The New Orleans Picayune answers by vaunting our charity to Chicago, and by throwing in the face of those we have helped the fact that they never helped us, which is a good way to neutralize the no bility of our generosity. The best answer to the spitefulness of the Commercial Advertiser is this, that the transportation of grain from the West to New Orleans is a business transaction, and that New Orleans proposes now, as she has done for years, to do it cheaper than the Northern railroads can, and that sentiment has nothing whatever to do with such a transaction as this. If Chicago finds it to her interest to ship cereals down the Mississippi she ought to do so at once as the best alleviation of the great affliction which has befallen her. And when we offer to do this carry ing trade in her interest, and for the ben efit of the farmers that support her, New York has nothing to gain by being spite ful on the subject. The greater the 'commerce between the West and South, the broader and deeper will grow the love of the people for the whole country. POLITICAL JUDGES. Oue of the satisfactory features of the recent election in New Yerk city is the overwhelming defeat of three political judges. Jones and Spencer lost their election for judges of the Superior Court by about twenty thousand majority. But the Tammany candidate for the Supreme Court, Judge Led with, has been beaten by forty-four thousand majority. He has occupied the bench for several terms, and is a man of undoubted ability; but be lacked the firmness to disregard political influence, and has lost his place by the very means employed by him to secure it. If all the constituents of political judges would be thus watchful, and be ever ready to apply the corrective to the abuses which from time to time creep into the elective system, it would go far to restore it to the traditional purity its charter attained under the appointing power. And as we shall be called upon next year to elect successors to our own district judges, it will be well for us to bear in mind the example of New York city. GOVERNOR WARMOTH AND THE FIRE MEN. W e devote a large portion of our space this morning to the speeches of President I. N. Marks, representing the Fire De partment, and Governor Warmoth in response, upon the absorbing subject of the fire contract. The firemen will be glad to observe that the Governor has promised to support their cause, and aid them to the extent of his influence in ob taining a renewal of their contract. The London Times has a special set of pigeon holes that contain well written obituaries of all the public men in the world. The convenience of this is that so soon as a distinguished individual dies the Times is ready with his mortuary no tice. The New Orleans Times carries the convenience further than its London namesake, for it evidently has a pigeon hole for the obituaries of political parties, since it publishsd an elaborate mortuary notice of the death of the Bourbon Democracy, even while the telegraph was reporting the dissolution of the subject of its melancholy remembrances. So many parties have died in the United States this system is advisable in all well regu lated printing offices. With a candor that is refreshing, both the Bee and Bultetin admit that the defeat of the Democracy in New York was deserved on account of the corruption of the leaders of that party. The Bee goes further, and admits that the people are so thoroughly distiustful of the De selves there is no use in swapping one set of men for atntker, since those that I propose to come in only desire to plunder on a more extended scale than those they seek to deprive of office. As a matter of coarse the connection of the Bee, and perhaps that of the Bulletin, will cease with the Democracy. They may be considered the allies of reform hereafter, whatever that may be. The Times will claim to be the expositor of I the new crusade, which will breed trouble no doubt, for we doubt if it can com mand that genuine confidence which is necessary in the leader of a great reform movement. ON (ARONDELET STREET. Outdoor business was at a standstill yes terday, sheltering itself unuer awnings and 6taring vacantly at the plashing rain in the gutters. Money transactions were shon. In this branch of business the late advance in domestic exchange is an item of interest. At 3* per cent discount, the margins being less than this figure, the stream of remit tances has lately become swollen, but will porbably subside when the rush is over. As a contrast, foreign exchange is dull; eobriety is the attitude of this element, where for ten days demands have been ac tive and the features agitated. City certi ficates still hold their own, but show no change. State warrants are in a lull—the demand has simmered. Cotton transac tions are restricted by short supplies, but prices are unchanged, with a quotation downward. The enterprises of "great pith and mo ment" promised in behalf of the Levee com pany are yet delayed, though the stock shows unmistakable signs of improvement. A noted operator having purchased five hundred shares on Tuesday, at a time when the dead lock was at its tightest, and the key hidden, the effect was to produce a bet ter feeling, and bring about a rise. Imme diately the stockholders, who have kept in the shade for so long, came to the tront, reasoning that the operator in question would not have purchased unless in pos session of accurate iniormation pointing to a future and not far distant improvement. It is believed this is the only cause of the late advancing of the lines. The stock has been sold of late at $3 624. $3 75, and $3 87tg—ft being asked—and exhibits fair movement. Now and then we hear a little spoken of Mexican Gulf stock, but nothing against it. The pressure has been removed. There are few pledges to be slaughtered, and soon there will be few shares to be had, it being designed to retire the stock immedi ately. The principal holders are not at all frightened, and hold a position entrenched. No allusion has lately been made to Am monia Propelling Company stock, but at the same time shareholders' faith is undi minished and safe. But the stock market "drags its slow length along" without much of the billowy motion which constitutes business. For days together things are at a dead calm, and all the canvas flaps idly, and the wearisome hours are shod with lead.
