TORTXEI SHEET STO0AY MORNING, JHAY 30. A universal monarch on the Eastern Hemisphere, comprising Asia. Europe and Africa, at the present day would be of easy execution should the monarcha and conservative 'classes be threatened with social destruction, such as was inaugurated by the vandalic Communists in Paris after the downfall of imperial regime, Bather than sea. the whole modern civilization given up to utter destruction, princes as well as the conservative interests would prefer a dictatorial govern ment under the auspices of some im perial regime, even that of Alexander II of all the Bussias. Such a government, based upon military; order, would maintain all subsisting' institutions, subject, however, as the! "present organization under, the Marshal lfacMahon, to a strict observance of the laws of the coutt try with respect to social order, com 'xneroeV industry, Now it may not appear so very ex 1 traordinary.

in view of the general; anxiety in Europe regard to the future condition or policy among" the seeing that Spain is given overrto continued revolutionary oon 'vujsibns, and. that the French nation Ihas narrowly escaped a similar fate or aninterior civil wjuv we say, it may not; be at all extraordinary some important diplomatic arrangements should have beea stipulated between reigning dynasties, guaranteeing to each other the actual possession' status of their respective coun tries? The condition of Europe seems 'actually to require such a general un derstanding and unanimous agreement. Bporta In Colonial Times. 1 la the beginning of the settlements in Louisiana the life of the first reai i urn vr ua luuvit i iii niua utuj ever recurring needs of providing: not only food and subsistence for the entire population, but also securing; totaem tne shelter against the inclement seasoas of the year, and protection against the but ill concealed hostility of the original native tribes inhabiting the various dis tricts of the surrounding country Little time and little disposition was, left to this ever active population for; diversions or pastimes, which might be. inferred from the perusal of some historical writers, representing the inhabitants of Lower Louisiana as gene rally addicted to a course of apathetic indolence.

Far from this being the ease, we can, on the contrary, certify; from the elose examination of" the' original colonial documents, that the military classes, who, next to the real planters or owners of the soil, formed the most numerous classes of the resident population of the country, were, ever on active service in the various and numerous outposts or. military stations' through the widely extended precincts of the Going and coming from and to the central station, the New Orleans metropolis, to their respective commands and allotments, there was. duriag the first period of French, colonial regime, upon the shores of. the Mississippi, little time and less occasion for what may be rightly de nominated diversions or pastimes for this part of the colonial population. As for the planters or farmers, set tlmg 1 above and below the city, on both banks of the river, or when farther removed at the settlements of Manchao, Baton Bongo or Pointe Coupee, etc.

All then were so mush aosorbed in the constantly renewed requirements of their newly formed homesteads, that little disposition was felt in any recreation or diversion other than those which would contribute to their repose and recuperation from their continued labors and occupations. For the first planters began to open the country with their own axes and spades, and whilst raising their families it took them a whole generation' before they could count upon aid and! assistance from their sons and nephews. Thus, then, we can account that until the advent of the new generation, that is to say, until the native born sons had attained to the age of adolescence, we find little or no mention made of any sports or recreative pastimes among the colonial population. We may date the beginning of a change in tne manners of the country from about the year 1740, under the administration of the Marquis of Vaudreuil. Under the brilliant epoch of this representative dignitary of the crown of France we find traces that the then very numerous corps of ofliceis of the splendid garrison then; stationed in and around New at the instigation, no doubt, of M'me La Marquise, who delighted in spectacular divertissements had formed amateur dabs or associations in order to give suoh theatrical performances as would show that they had not altogether forgotten the pastimes and amusements.

of the far away mother country. With the new or native born population we may say' that, properly peaking, the manners of the Lauis i iana popular nativity took their de vel pment, which has been kept on ever since, notwithstanding the great in flux of continual streams of foreign; 8'ocka and races. We that among all classes of Jthen existing colonial, generation, among whom we already, begin to distinguish a goodly numb of the mixed or colored races, thore aports and amusements were fondly, cherished: and' practiced, whioa coa tiibnted to the natural development of the physical faculties, the athletie sports conducing to the chase and nautical exercises. For these attractive diversions the open eountry so full of game, and the numerous water cenrses forming a singular net work among the diversified prairies and rich meadow marshes of oar delta, offered indeed the most natural and unbounded field for their gratification. It then be seen that in some respects the European offspring (for Canadians and Aoa dians came originally from the same family stock) took up precisely the occupation and pastimes of the aborigines om native Indiana of the country.

Hence with their fowling piece and in their light paddled canoe or dug eut they actually replaced in the forests and. in the bayous and. lakes the for ner roving Indian hunters and fishermen Whilst thus in this manner the tra occupations oi me native aboriginals were continued by the new sprung 'up generations ot modem Louisiana, induced abso i "lutely by the natural conformation and products of the country, we may; also perceive that with; these same) physical or athletic exercises the; sons of the soil acquired intui tiv ly the spirit of 'independence' and openness springing from 1 the same con format ies of Barroundingj circumstances. Nay, so true are these' concatenations or connections between the physical and xnoral facul ties and 'dispositions of our soil born population, that we have been nessea ourselves to the much prized popular games, in former times of what was called the games of raquette, or plays with the balls, after the ancient Indian fashion. were kebt up to the Jate period before the Confederate war among all classes of population, white, black and mixed.

And although since that' time theee games of raquette have no IiHiMr hrcn rrenmed. having not doubt in a great measure been sup planted by the foot ball playing, we still Un the Third District designate the former locality of these juvenile pastimes the Plains de la being situated between the Gentilly and the Pontebartrain railway, and what is called Faubourg Boucaner. or the 8moky Suburb, lying north ward of Esplanade alley or avenue The latter appellation of Smoky Suburb, we have been assured, is derived from the long existing Indian camping ground there, which may not be bo very doubtful in origin, for the former abode of gigantio bullfrogs and equally enormous mosqui toes, which failed not to accompany these aboriginal Indian sporting! domains. New Orleans Rifle Club. To day the festival of the New Or leans Bine Club will open at the Magnolia Gardens.

It will be continued; during Monday and Tuesday, and on the evening of the latter day it will conclude with special eclat. The shooting in the meantime will be found to be of a superior as our two rifle clubs here may justly boast of their crack shots." On Tuesday' evening the festival will close with a dramatio performance in the gardens. Mr. Randall will also give some exhibitions with his magic lantern, and the whole will conclude with an address by Mr R. N.

Ogden. The gardens in the, evening will be thoroughly illuminate ed and some fire works will add brilliancy to the scene. Arrangements have been made with the street car companies, so that cats will be run out to the gardens until such time at night as the dub' may determine upon.

MAKING THE QUEER. Raid on a Gang of Counterfeiters. Traced to Their Holes, Unearthed and Arrested, They Wow Sleep in Durance Vile. About three months asro. E.

Wash burn, chief ot United States secret service, received information that there were in this city a number of Italian counterfeiters, and he immediately sent down L. B. Whitney one of his cleverest detectives to work up the cae. Mr. Whitney commenced his operations by riding in all the street cars of the city, and notching the nickles as they were deposited in the boxes.

He saw that certain Italians of the lower, would, invariably, deposit counterfeit nickles, and frequently collect ladies' fare and return change, when there was any, in counterfeit nickles. He then commenced to shadow these parties, and finally located them indifferent parts of the city. In shadowing them, helremarked, that they moved their places of residence very say once two weeks, and that they also had girls in their employ who would sell counterfeit nickels to Italian fruit vendors, and deliver the same in baskets with a top" covering' of fruit or onions. Mr. Whitney at last located the 'factory where the queer was being made at No.

78 Philip street, Second District. He at once took a furnished room' opposite, where he could watch everything that went on and found out that upon certain days they' delivered large quantities. Saturday being one of the days, he concluded yesterday to make a descent. He called upon Supt. Loan, who directed Capt.

Malone to render him every assistance. Tte Captue: The Captain detailed, for the wort Specials Devereaux, Hennessy, Bray.r Fordyce, Sterman and Pearson. These detectives went to Whitney's room one by one, so as not to crea'e any suspicion. At 13 o'clock the detect ives noticed three Italians enter the house each with a box. After they had arrived the owner of the Joseph Jcnforcado, came out went to each corner of the streets, looked no and down, and then came back.

locked the doors, shut the vindnwx and the alley way gate, all the in mates of the house then went nn stairs, where they closed the doors and windows. The detectives waited about ten minutes, and then made a rush across the street, broke open the doors, and made their wav nn ataim. where they found Paul Orlando. Jo sepo Christian Skarco and his wife, who is the daughter of Oilando, and Yen Carso, aU in one) busily en ea eed in countinsr 1 I counterfeit nickles, on the floor. They were immediately taken, into custody.

The house was then search, ed and three hundred dollars of counterfeit nickles, finished, ready for the market, were found upon the There was? also found. a quantity of metal and acids used in man' ufacturing counterfeit coin. Orlando and Jonfurcado are said to ba old in the business. The police, about four years ago, raided them, when they jumped from the second story of a house and escaped. They then went to Italy, and only returned about six months ago.

Last Tuesday evening Mr. Whitney shadowed Jon lurcado irom the French Market to Canal street, and while riding that distance he Puh4 Cmaterelt representing eighty five' cents, putting some in the box and giving some in change where he had taken charge of 'fare for other 'passengers. Joseph Jonfurcado keeps a game "stand' in the Poydras Market. The prisoners were examined before Commissioner Shannon and placed under bonds of $3000 eaeh. The bonds not being furnished they were remanded to the Parish the woman alone being released.

matter will, immediately be brought before the United States. Grand Jury, now in session, and Judge Woods wUl probably try the case this week. The operations of this counterfeiting firm hare been quite extensive, and the street car companies have been, the chief sufferers. One of them estimated the number of counterfeit nickels taken in daily at from $10 to $12. On discovering, the operations 'in 'the' cars, Mr.

Whitney immediately ingratiated himself with the counterfeiters, and used to pur chare nickels from them at the rate of $3 50 for $20. He then endeavored to trace them to their hales, but was its variably foiled in the attempt. At one time be thought he had tbem at a plaee near St. Mary's Market, and subsequently, at Turners' Hall, but these in their turn proved to be blinds. Finally he dressed a party up as a letter carrier, who shadowed one of them through the streets of the city, until he dropped on him at St.

Philip street and reported to his superior. The nickles and such tools as could be found were placed in a sack and taken to the office of Marshal Packard. Decidedly Cool. A TOUNG GENTLEMAN THAI WANTS TO BR HELPED ALOKQ. The Governor is in receipt of a modest request from a young gentleman, who has just dropped into the city in a casual way, from jomt unknown parts.

This gentleman, it appears, is a lawyer by diploma, and wishes to make an advantageous professional settlement here, but being an utter stranger, he wishes to look around before committing himself to a connection with any legal firm. That he might the better judge of his fntme course, he requests the Governor to give him a position where he might form an acquaintance with the legal luminaries of the city. The position he desires is a clerkship of a civil court, but if the Governor should not have any such thing convenient, he would stoop to the clerkship of one of the leading criminal courts, for a time at least.

Ts KttUr mt tas ruMt The Picayune is so prominent as an able champion of every interest, both great and small, which concerns the well being of the people of New Orleans, tbat its utteranoea in regard to any important matter carry deservedly verv great weight. One cannot therefore read without concern its able article under the above caption in yesterday's issue, for its rather desponding tone is calculated to produce in the minds of many an imprest ion that nothing is being done to advance the enterprise so vital to this citv and State, of railroad communication to Texas.

We beg leave to state in this brief communication the following facts: A committee was appointed a few days since by the parties corporators of an act to devise ways ana means for a railroad to connect our city with some eligiblpoint in Texas. Of the character and, standing of this committee we deem it sufficient to say that it is composed of leading representative men who are now working assiduously in forming a permanent organization, and within a few days will come to the front with their charter; that they mean business and nothing else, as soon as the right plan, in their be settled upon. gentlemen have, and it is generally thought wisely, declined to entertain any proposition emanating from parties whose past career has been so conspicuously and expensively a failure.

We need scarcely be told by mm that any; properly organized body, having in view the connection of this city Texas, the direction of whose affairs shall be placed to remain under the control of our citizens, will of necessity meet with his material aid and support.

Though prepared for a highly Eatifying spectacle we were neverthe ss surprised to find in the realization a scene of beauty so far above oar best anticipations of its merits.

The principal charges which are to be investigated at the New York Cnstom House are against bonded warehousemen. They are charged with defrauding both the custom and internal revenue to large amounts. It is possible that this investigation may lead to a change in the manner of, granting permits to warehousemen. The system of smuggling in baggage on passenger steamers is also to be investigated. The authorities, how ever, are not inclined to credit the extravagant notions of Commissioner Johnson as to the extent of this class of smuggling.

An experienced customs officer, who haa just returned froBs New York, says that there is abundant evidence to show that not mors than seventy per cent, of the gross amount ot revenue due at New York is now collected. Thin fact this ageut attributes chietiy to the abolition of the moiety eyBtem. The Treasury officials claim that these frauds are due to dishonesty in the civil service rather than to the abolition of moieties. The forthcoming developments in customs matters in New Tork are likely to show the hoUowness of the pretense that srest frauds have been caused by the interior port of entry system. There are no charges in the department now of frand in the importations at any interior port, while one of the most skilled officers in the Government service now states that at least three tenths of the aggregate amount of goods imported at New York are smuggled.
