Wo donot bollove that tie poople of tho Fifth Judielal District will ganction any such damnablo doctrino, ———— In an articlo a fow days ago, upon tho cage of Tholps, Dadgo & Co., we diracted attontion to the fack that tho wholo cage ngninst that firm way, that, in the importation of §6,000,000 worth of goods annually, cortain errora in tho myoices had in four yeara caused & loss of §1,600 of rove- oo, Thess orrors constslod in {ho omiasion from the declarod valuo of tho "goods of 1ho coat of transporting them from Wales, whore they were made, to Liverpool, whero thoywero ship- ved.

The process of suspending a useful and neces- sary ordinapce, prolibiling fust driving in o crowdod thoroughfare, was one of tho methods adopted to entertrin tho distinguished visitor with bis favorite amusement of horse-racing. Tha ‘“spring mootings™ nat haviug opened yot, and tho roguler trotting parks boing in bad con- dition, owing to tho backwarduces of tho season, tho Grand Boulevard was transformod into o race-courso for tho occnaion, and an advertise- mony way ingerted in the newspapors to intorm the community of tho Inct, in ordor that poraons who dosired to walk or drive on it during those hours must doga at their'own risk. The cir- cumstanco is cortninly worthy of tho attention of the people, s it would bo difiieult to find o caso among the offoto mounarchios of Europo whero any rogular law, enactod for the protec- ticon of lifo and tho maintenance of public docornm, has been tomporarily suspended for tho gratification of a Princo. Qen, Grant cannot be held strietly responsibla for tho susponsion of an ordinance againat tast duiving on ki acconnt, but his absenco from public duty at this time, and bis jannt about the ocountry for pleasuro, are matters of concern to he American peoplo, Itis not long sines ho was Inangurated for o socond term of four yonra ag tho Chiof Exccutivo of tho nation, with a residonce at Washington, aed the duty of glving his porsonal ottention to publio effairs, Con- gross hnd no sooner ndjourncd, however, than tho Trosidont preparod to mako nn oxtended ploasure-tour throughout the country, Lorminat~ ing at Long Branch for_summor roposo, Tho nntural inforonco from this briof statoment of Qen, Grant's snunterings is, that the condltion of the country is so ontiroly poacoful, goronp, and prosporons lhat tho eetive worvicon of anTxcoutive may bo dispenacd with, Cortain well-known faots, on the othor haud, toud to robut thiv inforence. Ono of tho States of the Union i just now in a revolutionary condi- tion, Tho political troublos In Loulsinon lave actually broken out in civil war, Ono dosporato buttlo bolwoen tho two contost- iug partios was rocontly fought with an aggre- gato loss of 03 killed aud 72 woundoed, and the dispatohes of this morning bring the news of a conflict in nnother parish, Tho Motropolitan Tolico, of tho Qity of Now Orloans, aro belug armed and drilled ng rogular troops, to eunatain My Kol- logg's causo In other parts of the Blatoe, whilo tho poople of Now Orleans are Joft without pro- tection for lifo or proporty. Tho thioves, burg- lars, and roughs have already begun to take adyan{age of the helploss conditlon of the New Orlonny poople to plundor thelr homes and places of businons. - In the monutimo, it han boon ‘brought to tho silention of tho Grand Jury that tho conversfon of tho Motropolitan Polico forco into o Btate army s contrary to tho provisions of the Constitution of tho Unitod Biatos. The anarchy which roigns in Louisiann {a tho direct rosult of the action of the Prosident in sustalnlng the usurpation of o United Btatos Judge who oxcocded his authority {n an Infamous mannor, and {n forcing upon the poople of Loulslaun o Govornor whom thoy did not oloct, ho rovolutionary condition of tho Biato, at onco ruinous to commorco and throntening the lives of its oitizons, fa precisoly whnt the majority of the Committeo on Loulsinnn Affairs—n Committeo of Senators scting pelitl- eally with the Administration—prodicted ss tho rosult of tho Prosident’s aotion in sustnining Kollogg and his bogus Governmont. Now that tho polley is bearing its bloody frult, tho Prasi- dont is ronming nbout tho country attonding im- provined horac-racen, and wending bis woy, by slow stages, ¢o n watering-place. Tyore ia no othor circumatanco that could 8o woll fllustrate Gonoral Grant's stolid Indifforonco to hls publio duties, Tho condltion of Louislana {a not the only thing that domands immedisto, constant, aud wall-conelderad attention fror tho Ohief Excou- tivo, Thord is an Indian war on havd, in which fitly or slxty savago Modoca hold an Amorican army at bay, elaughtor os many officora and sol- dlors at ovory angagomont ao tholr wholo band nnmbors, nnd dofy the power of tho Amorlean nation. Thorois s national disgrac ot Vienus, whero tho eyos of tho éivilized world aro con- torod at this momont, and whore Amorican Com- missionors have brought now disgrace upon thefr country, Therois n scandal in Now York City, ‘where o Gusloxq-llouao Ring has levied black- mail to tho tunc of £271,023 on a prominent business firm, Tho Civil Sorvico, which waa al- roady odious, has bocome piratical and danger- ous. If tho subordinntes did nothing moro than imitato tholr Chief by noglecting thoir dutics, tho eago would not bo 80 bad, hut whon thoy bo- como blackmadlors and orgdnizo raids on privato business, thero should bo somobody in Waghings ton to call them off. Thoro is anothor view of tho President's ab- senco from his post of duty about which thore can gearco, Bo any differenco of opinfon. Just befora the adjournment of the late Congress, o Dbill was passed, which raised tho salary of tho Presidont from $25,000 to $0,000 n yenr,” This ‘measuro roceived the prompt approval of Gen. Grant, and bocamo o lawd o was thus instrus mental in doubling nis own ealary. Whothor his motives in signing the bill woro purcly selfish, or prompted by o conviction that the President should recoived §50,000 a year for his services, no one but himacl? con sny. It is obvious, how~ ever, that tho act of doubling his own salary in- cronsed his responsibility to tho nation for a con~ sciontious devotion of Lis timo and services for which he ia paid so munificontly.

Inan argumont bo- foro thio Supremo Court of Ohio, he defended J. @, Birnoy, who was chargod with harboring o slave. Ho beeamo thonceforth identified with tho Anti-Slavery party. In 1846, with Mr. Boward, ho argued tho colebrated Vean Zandt cayo before tho Bupremo Court of tho United States, donying the validity of the laws for the rondition of fugitivo slaves., Ho was counsel in o number of cases involving the samo questions, 1In 1840, ho supportod Harrison for tho Prosi- doney, but, finding nothing congenial in the vlown of tho Tyler Adminiatration, he united in 8 call in 1841 for an Anti-Biavory Convention at Columbus, Ohio, At this Convontion was organ- izod tho Livorty parly, In 1843, at a National Couventlon of tho party hold in Buffalo, among tho resolutions offered was ono which proposed to trent that clauso of the Constitution rolating to tho roudition of fugilivo slaves s “ uttorly sl and void."

The wook at the Academy of Musfe is being dovoted to the first_performance of ‘“Au Qdd Wrick,” adapted by J, IL Counolly from Moilhng and Halavy’s Fronch comedy of ** La Reveillon.' Tho adaptation is scarcoly entitlod to bo called o comody, It is, moro properly speaking, o farco iu throo acts, and one of the funniest of forcos imaginablo, Tho dialogue e oxtromoly sprightly and witty, and somo of the situa- tiond nro iu tho Inst degroo ludicrous. “An 0dd Trick” bas less of dofluite plot than a comedy, and more than a farco, It i, in briof, what the clevor authors intonded, aud what tha adaptor was successful in presorving—an entortainmont to make people Inugh hoartily from first fo laut. Tho lending chiaractor, that ot Gallinipper, is ndmirably sus- tained by M.
