The Great Mew Urlcuns Festival —Its
Origin and IIIstory-Mtstlek Krtwi sf
Camas— Manny, Kale, Komtcal and
Marions-The Streets, the Parade, the
Ciowd, and other Mutters thereto Per
taining.
(Special Correspondent a of Tbs Baa.)
New Orleans, Louisians,
February 13, 1872.
KdUvrs Sun : As the great American
Curuivul is [•eculrnr to New Orleans End
one or two other Western cities, and,
therefore, not universally understood, the
origin and
HISTOltY OF MARDI GRAS
may not be inappropriate. The two
French words, mardi gras, signify Fst
or Flesh Tuesday, and refers to tho Garni
val (cami vale, farewell flesh) or festivities
immediately preceding Lent or the forty
days of abstinence from the use of meet
in all Roman Catholic countries—a dia
tom still observed by some of the Prot
estant denominations. The term corres
ponds to Shrove Tuesday in English,
and Fast Nacht, (fast eve) in German, on
which day—the one preceding Ash
Wednesday or first day of Lent—they
used to confess their sins preparatory for
the Quadragesima or Lent, tho forty days
of fasting and prayer. Tho Manli Gras
or Shrove Tuesday festival in America is
simply a relic of the great national
CABK1NAL
of the Latin (Roman) people, which had
its origin in ,the. Saturnalia of Pagan
Rome, the feasts of Saturn, when for
seven consecutive days lord ;.nd serf,
mostor and servant were granted unre
strained fresdom.'license and merriment
IN PARIS
the Carnival prevails uninterruptedly for
five or six weeks preceding Ash Wednes
day, and is characterized by a'series of
masquerade and fabey balls throughout
tho entire city. Masks are observed on
the streets throughout the entire period;
Opera Houses are the soencs of revelry,
and dancing, which continues without
intermission from midnight to daylight
On Sundays and Tuesdays preceding
Lent the Bocuf Gras (fat ox) caparisoned
in a thousand grotesque combinations of
colors, and surmounted by a child, leroi
ilea Vouchers (ting of butch era) parades
the streets amid the shouts of a tumul
tuous and surging populace.
Recently this roi ties Vouchers instead
of riding the ox.followsjiim in a magnifi
cent cur of triumph.
IN ROME,
where this national festivity originated
about the middle of the second
century, and where it reached
an importance and attained a
grandeur undreamed of by people of more
modern days, the carnival occupies the
eleven days preceding Ash Wednesday.
During this poriod the masks and fancy
costumes, which at first arc comparative
ly rare, become more frequent and con
tinue to multiply until one or two days
preceding Lent, when the streets are
thronged with one compact, infatuated
multitude of cuthnsed masked pedestri
ans, wearing a thousand grotesque and
comical costumes, among which are buf
foons, puuchincllos, pantaloons, har
lequins, and a myriad of other carica
tures of similur notoriety in Italy.—
Tho festivities of the last day are con
fined to the narrow street Corso—about
thirty feet wide and a mile long—along
each side of which is a continuous line
of over-hnnging balconies, constructed
with especiul reference to viewing this
wonderful spectacle. Every window,
verandah, portico and balcony, is deco
rated with muuy pieces of brilliaut and
variegated cloth, floating banners, flash
ing pennauts and quivering streamers,
and adorned with a dazzling array of
gayly dressed women, all of which ren
ders the occasion one of enchantment,
such that strangers find it quite impossi
ble to resist its fascination*, uud they
rush recklessly into it with an abandon
that nothing save the wildest euthusiasm
could inspire. The festivities commence
about two o'clock in the afternoon when
the Corso is s grand surging mass of liv
ing beings. Two rows of carriages pass
ing in opposite directions filled with
spectators, and maskers keep the tnmnl-
tuous crowd in a constant state of mo
tion. The passing people are over
whelmed with Von-bons (flowen.) and con
fetti, (little pellets of lime,) which, when
they come in contact with any one,
shower their coating of lime dust all
over the passenger. Madame DeStael,
Corinne, describes very vividly
characteristic scene of this great
festival. Late in the evening horses are
allowed to race in the Corso without
riders. Released by their grooms, who
are almost exhausted with trying to re
strain their eager impatience, the coursers
are released, and driven oa by metallic
balls fall of spurs attached to their trap
pings, they dash on through the streets,
alive with a clamoring and madly infat
uated multitude, who urge them on with
a deafening chorus of unearthly yells,
and reach the goal (a canvass across the
street) to beoome the hero of a frantic
and b«barons triumph, fall dead in their
tracks, or dash themselves in pieces
r nat tho carriage-wheels that throDg
itreet*.
Formerly the procession represented
the pageant of Eastern marches, accom
panied by their African slav.s, and the
triumphal procession of laurel-crowned
Ciesars in cars of victory, adorned with
all the splendor and magnificence of
Oriental wealth.
IN VENICE
the carnival, which has been immor
talized im music, although of peculiar
interest beosuse of its romantic scenery,
does not partake of the grandeur of
the Roman festival. It is celebrated
there in Florence, Naples and elsewhere
with much echit and splendor, bat since
it is conducted on the same general sys
tem, it is useless to describe it, Cooss-
qaeutly we pass on to the
CARNIVAL IM VBW ORLEANS,
whence this great national festivity was
transmitted from France and lulv. Here
it has been inaugurated and celebrated
for many yean; and for this reason New
Orleans, oooe every year, becomes the
rendezvous of such a concourse of peo
ple as never 1mm and never will fie wit-
nesmd at any other plase. or oa nnf oth
er occasion, on this Continent.
THE MARDI ORAS rZSTTVITIES
la New Orleans is under Ihe patronage
and control of a myateri< ua but by no
means a mythical person, who is styled
** King of the Carnival. Home Jh,-
before the 13th February he issues his
Royal Edict, decreeing and ordaining
that all persons and subjects owning al
legiance to his dynasty should join Hi*
Royal Highness in a Grand State Pa
geant, which shall be under the imme
diate and personal command of His Royal
Highness, the King of the Carnival, the
Grand Marshal of the Empire and the
Lords of the Horses, Carriages,Vans, Yeo
manry and Unattached. He farther or
ders all places of business to be closed,
all vehicles commanded to disappear
from the city; owners of vessels and
steamboats, proprietors of public build
ings, Consuls of foreign nations at peace
with his Majesty, are directed to display
their colors; and the city authorities ore
required, under penalty of Royal dis
pleasure, to remove all obstructions cal
culated to embarrass the triumphal march
of His Majesty’s procession. In short,
tho entire city, from the most obscuro
servant to the Lord Mayor and State Gov
ernor, submit with the most loyal and
obs<H|aious obedience to the royal decreo
of the King.—More anon.

He reviewed the history of Tenuessco

ing that Brownlow had made a pande
monium of the State, Ho was repeated
ly interrupted by points of order, but
Hpeaker Blaine, supported by Mr. Banks,
ruled favorably.
In tbe coarse of his speech, Hr. Beek
said: -What I said shoot a pandemonium
in Tennessee was about all the other, and
a good deal more about some of them.
One man (Davis of Texas) was look
ing me in the face when I said it.
I said mere ugninst Governor Bullock
of Georgia, who sat by mv side, and they
nro not nil cripples nor all imbeciles. I
have never told a lie, and I am prepared
to prove every fact that I have statod
here or elsewhere. They thought they
would put a man to speak against we of
whom they could say • lie is a cripple, ho
cannot read, he cannot walk,'and they
shield themselves behind him. They are
not all cripples. All the rest of them
can walk.
I will prove what I said agaiust every
one of them, and it is because they kuow
I will do it; it is because Need, of Flori
da, Scott, of South Carolina, Davis, o(
Texan, uud allot them, know I will prove
it, because they know I have been promi
nent in getting up a report which will bo
before tlio country in less than a week;
that they are trying to blacken me
no that when tbe people take up the re
port and read, they may say, ‘ Oh ! it is
that fellow Beck, who was a negro driver,
who says this. ’ That is their game. That
is the reason while they send a poor old
imbecile to attack me.”
Disavowing any disrespect against the
Senate from its more glorious traditions,
Ur. Beck concluded by saying ho had
not said anything to reflect on the Sen
ate, but when lie saw vultures sitting in
tbe nnsts of tho eagles, and baboons tak
ing the place of a lion, he protested
against the outrage. He wanted to koep
the Senate pure aed high-minded. He
wanted to see the States represented by
honorable men, and not by men who
forced themselves in there at tbe point of
tbe bayonet, or by fraud, corruption,
chicanery or ostracism.
