| new year and concludes a moralizing explanatory article by welcoming 1873, “with its larger interests and brighter hopes and sublimer possibilities for men and for man.’’ In an article on the “Epidemic of Conflagration”’ it says: — Almost every recent fire has resulted from causes which might have been foreseen and ought have been pfevented. It is easy to prophesy after the event, but the experience of the past should make us wise in the future. It is paintully true that the art of extinguishing fires has not kept pace with the necessity that accumulates Manuviactured products and crowds together the Structures that contain them and the homes of the People who buy and sell; but it is equally true that ‘we have not yet learned how to build in acity so aa to escape the periis of a conflagration and how ‘to manage an clement so useful and yet so dan- gerous as fire. The New York Observer has an article on the verdict of the Coroner's jury in the case of the eleven women destroyed by the Fifth Avenue Hotel fire, in the course of which it Bays: — The most petnfal reflection excited by this ver- ict 1s that the moral sense of the community is « more perverted than we had reason to suppose. We knew that courts are now largely asylums for rogues, We knew that to convict criminals was next to impossible. But the hope lingered with us that among the people there was virtue still sur- viving strong enough to speak an honest, brave word for right and humanity in such circumstances as these, when friendless wemen—half a score at once—are destroyed by fire in a single night in the most prominent hotel in the metropolis, The Freeman's Journal, inan angry leader on the fire in Centre street, by which seven came to their death, ascribes the dis- graceful delay which occurred in rescuing the bodies from the smouldering ruins to the pos- sibility of “the cunning hand of political intrigue,” and says: — It was only on last Sunday, the sixth day after this ity, when the HERALD raised a sharp outcry against his system of obstructivism, that Mr, Green seems to have wakened up to the fact that ne or two hundred wailing and heart-broken rel- atives of these human victims, even in this com- mani. rave oe an earnest sympathy among those e Not four legs, a8 donkeys , DOr feathers, as birds nave. The Christian Intelligencer discusses ‘Science versus Science,’’ and ridicules the theories presented by scientists as to the origin of man. Scientists got at a few facts, then deal largely with hypotheses, build up a theory around the facts, and this theory they call science. Different crania, however, hit upon different and even opposite theories, and ‘then, alas! science which is certainty stands up squarely against other science which is certainty.” Darwin's man comes from an ape, Buechner’s from “‘s hairy, long-headed animal, with long arms and short legs,’’ and Buechner says Dar- win is absurd, and Agassiz scouts both of them and has a theory of his own. And yet all three are scientists and their theories science. Aw Iratzan Sznsation.—In another column will be found the details of a tragedy in Naples. An Englishman formed an attach- ment for a beautiful girl, which was not re- ciprocated. After his suit had been rejected he met her with her sister in the fashionable promenade of the city, and in the immediate presence of several witnesses, after a short angry conversation with them, drew a re- volver, fired at both, instantly killing his fa- vorite, and then deliberately shot himself through the head and fell dead. The story is not antagonistic to the popular idea of hot Ttalian blood, but as the chief actor was of a cold Northern race there is room for surprise at such a tragic ending of the Neapolitan love romance, Tas Brooxtxn Rixvc are endeavoring to hold their associates to an agreement or bar- gain arrived at a caucus held on Thursday last, by which the-old corrupt régime was to be virtually restored to power. The honest demo- crate should refuse to be bound by this caucus, even if they were induced to act withit. A corrupt bargain cannot be too soon repu- diated. To keep it is disgraceful; to break itis honorable. The people of Brooklyn look to the honest democratic Aldermen to insure the first woek of the to them the reform they won at the polls, and their expectations should not be disappointed.

WASHINGTON. Mexican Troubles Again on the Horizon. Cortina, the Desperate Bravo Commander, Op- posed to Lerdo’s Peace Policy. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4, 1873. Important from Mexico—Another Revo- lation Imminent—Attitude of Our Gove ernment, Information has been received here from Mata- moros that General Juan Cortina, the bandit of the Mexican army, is fast maturing his arrangements, and that he will surely pronounce against the gov- ernment of President Lerdo within a month or six weeks from the present time. As Cortina is well known to be stronger than the President or Con- gress along the Bravo, the outlook is bad for our own side of the river, which has had sufficient ex- Pertence of Cortina in the past to grow. apprehen- sive over his present movements. In the report of the American commissioners on the cattle depre- dations Cortina is put forward as the chief instigator, operator and beneficiary of the plunder system practised from the Mexican side upon the rancheros of Texas, and the Commissioners have recommended that the government make an immediate demand upon President Lerdo to bring the late commander of the line of the Bravo to trial by court-martial for his repeated use of the government. troops of Mexico in the acts of robbery and murder set forth with the evidence, in the Commissioners' report, Our government well understands that President Lerdo has no more power over Cortina than the late President, and that as the new and sincere Policy of the present Executive does not admit of & continuance of the active support, protection and deference extended by Juarez, Cortina, not satisfied with mere immunity for past. misdeeds, cannot be held in check by Lerdo, But the duty of protection to our own side is held to be none the less imper- ative because of the impotency of the Mexican government to regulace its frontier popu- lation and its military chieftains, and it is thought that the intended outbr eak of Cortina in the bor- der State of Tamaulipas will serve to hasten the direct intervention that everybody here, including the President and excepting only Secretary Fish, admits to be the only and the final means of afford- ing security to Texas and indemnity for past spoli- ations, Kven the foreign legations, where the sub- ject was very much discussed at the time of the appearance of the report of the border commission, take the same view and hold that such action as the Commissioners propose (that is, the pursuit and punishment of the banditth on Mexican territcry by the United States) would be reasonable in view of tho enforced su- pineness or the Mexican government, and that such justifiable violation of the territorial sovereignty of Mexico would inevitably and logic- ally end in the establishment of the United States on the northern frontier 01 Mexico and the exten- sion of the boundary line to the mountains beyond the Rio Grande. In view of the probable rising of Cortina against the supreme government and the double motive of necessity and revenge that will lead him to come over the river and further despol the cattle ranches, itis the intention of the Texas delegation in Congress to introduce and urge on the reassembling of Congress a bill to raise a force of Texan rangers, with field oftcers and cap- tains of companies taken, as the border Commissioners suggest, from the regular army Officers serving in Texas. The government has not troops enough of any arm for present pro- tective needs, and the existence of a revolution on the Mexican side would greatly add to the present insecurity of the Texas rancheros. The question being fairly up, through the action of Congress, the President does not intend to let it drag, as it has dragged for nearly six years in the State Depart- ment and the American and Mexican legations in the cities of Mexico and Washington, and he is alive to the fact that the people ef Texas, having now had their hope and expectation of relief fully aroused, will not submit to a relapse into the old condition of being murdered and plundered by Mexican outlaws, officials and soldiers, and by Indians sheltered by the Mexican officials while ineffectual despatches were passing between the two national capitals, Secretary Fish is said to be far from pleased with the Commissioners and their report, the former transacting too much business direct at the White House and the Capitol and the latter being too energetic in statement and suggestion for a State paper of the routine model. Fabius J. Mead, a random office-seeker from Mis- sissippi, who was forced on the Commission by his patron, Senator Alcorn, in default of any better place open at the time, tras been retired from the Commission, and his place will probably be fillea by General Osborne, of Chicago, who is represented as possessing the requisite ability and energy for the position, Thus reinforced, and with asufficient sum for expenses, the remaining Commissioners, Messrs. Robb and Savage, will start for the Rio Grande in a few days. Federal Office-Holders in the Loui Legislature.

Peace Policy of the Citizens’ Committee. Pinchback’s Flourish of Authority and Empty Threats. New Og1eans, Jan. 4, 1873. I have conversed with Governor Warmoth and Governor elect (McEnery) to-day in regard to the inauguration of a new State government on Mon- day, and find them both exceedingly moderate in their expression of any appreliension of disturb- ance, They both contend that, in spite of Acting Governor Pinchback’s proclamation of this after- noon threatening interference and the passage of a so-called “‘act’’ by the existing Legislature, directed against the assemblage announced for Ménday, there will be no armed force, ne conflicts. The point is clearly stated by Colonel McEnery that, while no opposition will be made on the part of his supporters to the interference of the United States troops, the police or negro militia, should they attempt to interfere, will meet with resistance. It is not expected by the new State government and Legislature, which are intended to be installed on Monday, that they will be able to get control of the public offices of the State. They propose, how- ever, to present such an issue that Congress, un- der provision of the constitution, whereby tho United States guarantees to each State a republi- can form of government, may inquire whether a republican government exists in Louisiana, and so gain a jurisdiction in the matter whereby the late election returns may be impartially canvassed. REPORT OF THE COMMITTER OF CITIZENS. The sub-committee of the Committee of Two Hun- dred have reported, giving an account of their action at Washington and expressing their views Tespecting the present condition of affairs. The report says:— In fulfiment of the mission confided to us by the people, we have laid before the President an im- partial and truthful history of the extraordi- nary events which have recently transpired within the State of Louisiana, resulting in the overthrow of the government elected by the people and in the temporary installing in the of- fices of the State men who were not in any manner elected thereto, The President, while maintaining the propriety of the course which he has pursued in an executive capacity, has not professed to con- sider his action as a final decision of the vital questions at issue in the politics of the State; but HAS REMITTED US TO CONGRESS, as the proper tribunal to investigate the facts with more minuteness than the means within the executive control afford him the opportunity of doing, and render such relief as the nature of the case may seem to require. We have the assurance ot both the President and the Attorney General that such an investigation by Congress will meet With no opposition trom the administration, and that they will readily co-operate, affording such sid as Congress may see fit to recommend. We confidently anticipate that Congress will promptly appoint a committce to investigate fairly and im- partially the facts of the case. And in view of the gross and palpable wrongs which have been com- mitted we cannot doubt that such a committee monet admis and report to Congress the necessity for the PROMPT AND COMPLETE RELIEF. The committee advise that the Lyceum Hall Legislature assemble on Monday, in order to per- petuate its legal existence, and’ recommend that the people of the State and city extend to the members of that Legislature their moral support and earnest sympathy, and such material aid as may enable them to assist and maintain by legal means the rights of the people of the State to local State government, PROHIBITORY LEGISLATION. Acting Governor Pinchback to-day signed the act recently passed by the Kellogg Legislature, en- titled “An act to suppress riotous and unlawful assemblages,’’ referred to above. It provides that if any three or four persons, or more, armed with clubs or any other dangerous weapon or weapons, or if any ten or more persons shall unlawfully assemble in the city of New Orleans or in any town, city or parish within this State for any unlawful purpose, with intent to disturb the public peace or to cause public disturb- ance, these persons so assembling shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction, shali be punished by fine and imprisonment, PINCHBACK’S PUBLIC DECLARATION. A two column address, signed P. B. 8. Pinchback, is published after the citation of alleged misdeeds during the recent campaign. It says:— Not content with all these outrages against American citizenship, these foiled and defeated leaders of @ minority, when thwarted by the majesty of the law as construed ai forced by an honest and independent judiciary, State and federal, now propose through a man pretending to be Governor elect, and a Legisla- ture pretending to be elected, to organize a gov- ernment in direct conflict with and in violation of the dignity and peace of the existing government of the State of Louisiana and the law, and inaugu- rate an Executive and exercise governmental fanc- tions in the presence of and in confict with the existing established authorities, such parties are revolutionists and GUILTY OF TREASON against the State, and are disturbers of the public peace, and must be dealt with as such. Fam pre- pared as the acting Executive of Louisiana to per- mit, without let or hindrance, a portion of her citizens to indulge themselves as fully as the largest personal liberty may require, and financial embarrassment and social disquiet inci- dent thereto must belong to them, We cn red the right of iree discussion and of free assemblage of the people. ‘They may lawfully meet not only to memorialize authorities to redress wrongs, but to perpetuate right; not only to criticise and censure their servants wherein they may deem them derelict, and even to denounce them for wrongs, real or tmaginary. But when any class of meu with an undetermined and unascertained official status propose to meet and organize a law making department, and offer obstructions and antagonisms to the authority of the State in the exercise of its get functions, it cannot for a moment be either ignored or overlooked, but must be et and suppressed. It is my duty as the Executive not only to quell mobs and insurrections, but to prevent, by the prompt and vigorous execution or the law, the inception of such riotous and dis- turbed conditions. I do not propose that such a state of things shall be inaugurated in the State of Louisiana as will make it necessary for the na- tional authorities to declare martial law therein and take possession thereof. However much this deplorable issue may be sought and desired by the few ill-advised SHORT-SIGHTED AND SELF-8EEKING MEN who are laboring to that end, the Governor elect as returned by the Legislature, in session at the State House, will, on the day provided for in the Constitution, be inaugurated; and — the Legisiatare recognized by the President will meet and perform its Legislative functions, but no pretended General Assembly shall convene and disturb the public peace. Par- ties participating in cither case are public wrong- doers, and shall be promptly dealt with as such. ‘The whole force of the State shall be used for this urpose, and all necessary national aid will iuveked to co-operate with and sustain the same. I have every confidence that the General Assembly now in sessien,, sustained and aided by the suggestions and general influence of the com- munity, will MAKE WISE AND ADEQUATE LAWS, and I shall cheerfully co-operate with them in furthering the public weal; but no good can be accomplished by disorder and revolution, while the commercial. financial and industrial interests.of the State wil! be seriously affected thereby. No good citizen will sanction them, and under the, obligations of my oath of oilice I ara.determined they shall not pre- vail. THE CUSTOM HOUSE LEGISLATORS ON LEAVE OF AB- SENCE., Careful inquiry of the facts fails to show that there is any truth in the statement telegraphod from Washington that the Custom House employ¢s had resigned their seats in the Kellogg Legislature. Such resignations, it is believed, would break the quorum im the Senate, Postmaster Lowell, Surveyor Ingraham, the two Herwigs and Sypher took part in the legislative proceedings to-day. It is understood that all the Custom House mem bers have leave of absence from the Custam House during the session of the Legisiature. Pinchback’s address threatening to disperse the fusion Legisiatnre creates considerable excite- ment. Itis believed that only the federal troops can present the Lyceum Hall Assembly trom meet. THE ARKANSAS CONFLICT. Comprehensive Review of the Troubles in the State. ———— BLOODSHED NOT PROBABLE ON MONDAY. The Fourth United: States Infantry: Or- dered to Little Rock. Lrrrig Roox, Ark., Dec. 30, 1872. The “Arkansas case,” now pending before Judge Henry ©. Caldwell, United States Circult Judge for this, the Eastern District of Arkansas, wil! command the attention of the American peo- ple, as ofstill greater importance than the “Loul- Slana case.” The parties to the Arkansas contest occupy relations exactly the reverse of those held by the contestants in the Louisiana suit. Judge Caldwell is a Grant republican. But the Grant re- publicans in Arkansas are im control of the depart- ments of ,State ‘government, and, as Warmoth claimed in Louisiana, had the cut, shufle and deal, under existing registration laws, in the last elec- tion, The Greeley republicans, co-operating with the majority of the democracy, endeavored by weight of numbers to overcome these disad- vantages, and. proclaim. that they have done so by large majorities, and charge that great num- bers of wiite and colored votes were rejected or have been thrown out, and that the returns tn the omMice of the Secretary of State have been ‘doc- tored”’ tv prevent them from realizing the true re- sults of the election. CHARGES OF THE INJUNCTION PETITION, On Christmas Eve the fusionists presented their bill of complaint to Judge Caldwell against 0. A. Hadley, Acting Governor, vice Clayton, elected to the United States Senate ; J. M. Johnson, Secretary of State; M. L. Stephenson and KE. J. Searle, candi- dates for the office of Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the State (court of last resort), citing that they had confederated by refusing to register citizens on the list of registered voters en- titled to register under the existing laws, or by striking of their mames when registered, on various frivolous and unlawful pretexts, causing a dishonest count of the votes cast in the several counties; causing false and untrue returns and fleates of the result and canvass of the votes Cast in the counties; causing to be made out and forwarded to the Secretary of State incorrect copies of the registration of voters, they having, it is alleged, altered the same by striking from the original copies names of voters to a large number, many of whom were citizens of color, with refusing to allow the complainants to inspect the original returns in possession of the Secretary of State; with causing their appointees as registrars to dis- criminate between white and colored voters by fraudulently rejecting votes of white citizens cast in favor of complainants and swelling the number of colored votes cast in favor ef said Stephenson and Searle, and that the sald Hadley and Johnsom have virtually deprived the people of the State of Arkansas of their rights of citizenship and the benefits and advantages of a Tepublican form of government, Sey por ne these Lane charges with fifteen specifications. ‘The bill prays that defendants may answer the pre- mises, and be required to bring into Court and file therein all the lists of electors or persons entitled to vote at the last election in their possession, to- gether with ALL THE RETURNS and statements concerning the same, and a copy of all instructions, letters or memoranda issued by defendants to county clerks or judges of election; that said Secretary of State be required te sen Messengers to procure correct returns of the election had tn the counties and bring them into Court, or that an oficer by this Court be ap- ointed to supervise true copies of such re- urns; that said Acting Governor and Secretary of State be enjoined trom altering or defacing any of said lists of election returns, and be quired to bring into Court all original ballots so cast, and to grapt complainants access to all oficiat papers appertaining to said election, and that said candidates, by them so fraudulently returned elected, be enjoined from exercising any of the powers or rights of the offices so claimed by them. ‘fhe complainants further ask on the grounds that en- | the State laws proved no remedy; and, inasmuch as the United States vircuit Court would be unable to afford any speedy Peele Fa ld the Court cause lists of votes cast in the election in the several precincts. together with the alleged fraudulent returns and original ballots, and all other papers or copies of them made under supervision of an officer of the Court, to be brought at once into the Court before notice to sald Acting Governor and Secretary, that they and their co-conspirators may be pre- vented from defacing, obliterating or destroying said original lists, &c. THE RESTRAINING ORDER REFUSED. Judge Caldwell, on the presentation of this ap- plication, retused the temporary restraining order prayed for, and set down the motion for injunction pendente lite for hearing to-day, Monday, the 30th, on complainants giving five days’ notice of tne hearing, accompanied by a copy of the bill. The United States court room was filled to-day with spectators desirous of hearing arguments of coun- selon the motion for injunction. But counsel for defendants explained that the five days’ notice had not been had, aud that defendants desired to answer the charges in the bill, and were not Lee with their answer; whereupon the Court grante further time for the hearing on Monday, a week from to-day, and adjourned Court. MORE TROOPS ON THE SCENE. Meantime a convention of the fusionists, called toassemble here on the 4th January, for the pur- pose of iorcible installation, as it has been claimed by some of them, will meet. If they ever intended any force that design has been frastrated by the arrival of the Fourth United States infantry, which the President has found it convenient to send here at this juncture. There is not the slightest danger of a disturbance on the day of the inauguration of the Governor elect, Which takes place after the or- anization of the Legislature, which meets here on fhe first Monday in January every two years, the returns of every election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor /ex oficio President of the Senate), Secre- tary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General and Superintendent of Public Instruction being re- uired to be opened (and afterward publisned) in the presence of the members of the Senate then as- 7 —<+ Merit.

Mr. Booth’s Don Cwsar, however, will scareely be recorded in theatrical annals as one of his great parts. That he plays it carefully and well need scarcelywe stated, for the same must be said of ail his impersonations, But the role is one to which his gentus docs not take by any means Pet: The Cg mirth and dashing, light-hearted recklessness of Don Casar are altogether foreign to his natural character, and his attempt to portray them is necessarily some- what labored and constrained. Indeed, it was only im the third act, when Don Cxsar begins to show nobler qualities of mind and soul, and when he ceases to be merely a good-natured winebiber and libertine, and becomes a devoted husband, that the part grew into dred pen dan power. These scenes with the King, however, were admirably enacted and stirred the house to great enthusiasm. Of the rest of the cast litte good can be truthfully written, Mr. Pateman’s Marquis de Rotonde was 4 pleasant piece of humor, and Mr. Stark’s Don Jose was fairly played. Bat Mr. Decker’s Charles 11. is shamefully bad; 1t mars and almost spoils every scene in which it fig’ res. And Miss Pateman’s ritana 1s painfully king in naturalness and emotional vitality, whitie her aifec- tation of distinct enunciation fails of tts objectand is at the same time singularly disagreaapie. Masical and Theatrical Notes. The opening play at the new Fifth Avenue Thearre will probably be the French drama ‘+Alixe.”” ‘This will be the last week of opéra boufe at the Olympic.

Mr. aohn Brougham’s comedy, ‘‘Atherly Court,’ isto be produced at the Union Square Theatre on Monday evening. It has been’ a long time in pre- paration, and it is to be hoped will meet witn good fortune, It 13 weli known that there are two Judges of the “Don Cocsar same mame on the bench of the Court of Common Pleas—one of them the well known Charles P. Daly, the Ohief Justice, and the other Joseph Daly, who is a brother of Augustin Daly, the theatrical manager, It often bappens that the politicians on meeting the junior Jusge say to him, “I never had the pleasure of meeting you before, Judge, but your father, the Chief Justice, I have known a long’ time.’” praniteag SR THE COMMISSION OF APPEALS, ALBANY, N. ¥., Jan. 4, 187% The calendar of the Commission of Appeals will Rob be ake UP Wut Thuragay, January ¥ A.—Herald Branch Office, Brooklyn, corner of Fulton avenue and Bocrum street.
