Smuggling in Attaknpas.

We mentioned some time since that the
harbors in the vicinity of the mouth of the
Atchafalaya presented most ample oppor-
tunities for smuggling goods from foreign
ports into this country. The various and
numerous outlets on the coast leading to
Berwick's bay, to say nothing of the secret
passages in the bayous, afford the greatest
security and protection to the smuggler,
especially as there are no government Of
ficers stationed there to prevent contra
band trade being carried on. Silks, wines,
brandies and liquors from France, and CT
CARS from Cuba, can be brought into the
country with the greatest ease, and con-
veyed by steamers TO New Orleans or up
the river. We do not assert that such is
the fact, though we must confess that we
have tasted direct importations brought
into Attakapas, which We were credibly
informed never underwent the inspec-
ton of Uncle Sans marker or gauger.
One thing is certain, that wherever a
great temptation is presented, there are
always persons to avail themselves of the
chances.
Under the present circumstances, with
the custom-house situated at Franklin on
the T6che, although there is a deputy col
lector at Pattersonville, it may be said
there is no protection offered TO the reve-
nue., for there are no officers stationed
lower down, and boarding officer is not
known there. The custom-house should
be at some point on Berwick's bay, with
sufficient number Of officers to guard
against fraud. Besides, il would be more
convenient for vessels entering and clear
ing. We learn that petition will be sent
TO Congress this winter to effect the
change, and We hope during the session
to hear of the passage Of bill carrying
out the wishes Of the petitioners.

Locofoco Hypocrisy.

We find in the Times and Pennsyipdnian of yes
terday another evidence of the hypocrisy OF Loco
focoism, in its constant and interminabe COM
plants against the Administration for rsmoyin 2
here and there a Locofoco office holder. Mr. Deal,
the recently elected sheriff, entered upon his du-
ties yesterdays and in advance of assuming the
duties of that office made 80 clean sweep" of all
the incumbents Not even the driver Of the prison
wagon or the bill poster escaped. There were
hungry applicants for every post, and the doctrine
of Locofocoism that :" 10 the victors belong the
spoils" forbade that single officer, no matter
how competent or capable, should DC retained.
And vet the Tunes and Pennsyirdnidn continue day
after day their vrulent and abusive assaults upon
The Administration for every removal that Is made,
ertolhng the requirements and enshrining the vir-
tues of the decapitated 10 degree that Is nauseat
ing 20 the public ear In no instance has Locofo-
coism, when in power, been known ~ spare either
age or sex Ii Is the offices for which IL seeks and
It's parsans left in the undsturbed possession
of these, the Administration would encounter little
censure from these pensioners; Tor public measures
are only advocated or denounced by them anc

The present Is but one Of many instances Of TIN

TAs HunLer. and s.rnb.rn.rs.

The Hunkers having secured three OF
the State-Senator nominations from this
clty-and oae-haT (that is, 80 for Mr..
Roosevelt, we believe, is half -half-they
became saucy, as we stated in our last,
and resolved, in Tammany Hall, that they
would not support Barnburners unless their
candidates recognised the Tammany Hall
organization as the sole and exclusive Or
ganlzation, and gave up all connexion with
John Van Buren, & Co., in Lispenard
street. Indeed, the Hunkers have just
learnt that the Barnburners have gone back
into the bosom of their party only to nestle
there this election, and to sting afterwards;
and hence they have determined to take
their fangs out, and make them bow down
and worship the sachems of Tammany
Hall.
The Epening Post, organ OF John Van
Buren,, peremptorily says they will do no
such thing, as can be seen by an article in
our esprit of the Press" Hence we
have the question TO be settled, both in
Lspenard street and in the Pewter Mug,
which shall knock about II, 900 fat Hunk
ers or 5000 Barnburners--for that is
about the ratio in the city.
The Hunkers that have got fat or lean
nominations, and are dying to be elected,
are yet more dying for harmony and con-
cession, and for electing Purser, Hatfield,
and other disorganizers during the Cass
and Butler campaign; but the Hunkers
that have been turned out of the custom
house because of that disorganizaton, and
are not likely to be turned in any where
this election, will not die at all if Purser,
Hatfield & Co., are whipped by the Wings.
The Barnburners having secured a very
large share of the fat places, suffer fearful
ly, as the EDening Post indicates, when
Tammany Hall gives out groan or howl;
but they are all for harmony, if they can
have it their own way, and as Lispenard
street gives the indications.
The issue, then, as we understand it, is
this: Tammany Hall says the Barnburners
shall answer their questions before they
are voted ior-whether they recognise
Tammany Hall, and repudiate Lispenard
street and John Van Buren, & Co., or not.
If not, then Tammany Hall says they shall
not be voted for. The Euening Post calls
all this questioning "impertinence," and
says the Lispenard street organization shall
exist, in spite of Tammany Hall. 1t re-
mains to be settled, then, whether Tam
many Hall is to be moved up to Lispenard
street, or Lispenard street come down to
Tammany Hall. 1t is very important
issue, and our eyes are wide open to see
the end of it We will bet upon the 5000
Barnburners against the IL 900 Hunkers.
The Euening Post has the following omi-
nous outglving:
ali the Democratic candidates for State ofices
to the interrogatories which have been addressed
to them before the public without much farther
delay"

Do NOT Rely ON APPEARANCEs.-We were in
formed yesterday, by person who stated it a
fact, that the landing of the steamship Falcon,
an individual came ON shore without hat, coat, or
boots. After looking around him for some time,
with free and easy, independent kind of an air,
he called to a drayman and requested him To take
charge of a pair of saddle bags, which were ON
board the vessel. and convey them 20 Hewlett's.
With some hesitation, the draymsn complied
with the request, but, attemptng % lift the sad

wasHISGToS MoSUMEST.-Tbe marble block
furnished by the State Of Arkansas for the National
Monument, at Washington, is thus described by
the Arkansas Inteliigencos
"The block Of marble intended for the Washing

brought 10 our city ON Tuesday last, under the
charge Of Captain Bcler II IL four feet in length,
two feet vide, and eighteen inches thick, and
weighs about two thousand pounds. Tho word
Arkansas, in large letters, is beautifully engraved

the marine Of a superior quality, although the
work manship and polish may not compete with
marble finished in the older states The Mcssrs.
Belers entitled 10 great credit for this specimen
Of their mechanical ingenuity. While IL will take
its place in the monument, and there remain a
memorial Of The grateful hearts Of people, IL
will afford 10 the world another proof Of the vast

Editorial Life.

Had the art OF printing been known in
the age of julius Cesar, he would doubt
less have beeu The editor of daily news
paper, for he possessed qualifications which
peculiarly fitted him for the station. Its
said that he could dictate to four secreta-
ries on different subjects at the same time;
and any man who could do that could CON
verse and write editorials at the same mo-
ment, without dif6culty-ior it il a feat
which has to be frequently performed by
editors OF much less capacity than julius
Cesar In fact, the greatest ANNOYANCE
of editorial life is the frequent nrerrup-
tons 10 which its followers are subjected,
even IN their busiest moments. The larger
printing establishments in Europe manage
things differently from what they are usu.
ally conducted IN this country. There the
editor suffers no interruptions; but, sur
rounded by his books and papers, medi-
tates and writes with freedom; whilst here
he is subjected to perpetual calls TO know
how the public pulse beats on this or that
subject; or with requests to favor such and
such suggestions. II often occurs that he
"hears but takes no heed" of what is said:
and, after his visiter has left him, is really
unconscious OF what bas TRANSFERRED. As
editors do nbt usually possess C@sar's ia
cility in thinking and writing, il is hard
task with most of the fraternity to hold a
conversation and write sensibly at the same
time. We confess that we prefer doing
one thing at time; and we suspect that
most Of our brethren are Of the same opin-
ion.-Bah. Clipper.

The Washington correspondent of the Journal Of
Commerce writes follows:
''The French question will continue TO be trouble
some for if the French government renews its de
mands for redress in the Port and Eugene cases,
its neic minister must be POussined. Mr.. Clayton
cannot certainly enter into any negotiation on
those subjects As Of honor he ,oiH retire from
his situation whenever he shall be directed 10 re-
open a negotiation on those questions"

or the frame of mind in which, the above was

reckless of truth excessively socitous to create
mischief Throughout the whole difficulty with
Nj. Poussin il was manifest that the tone assumed
by the latter in his official communications was the
only ground on which the negotiation was broken
off; and in his letter to NJ. de Tocqueville Mr. Clay
ton expressly assured the French government that
the discussion would be renewed most cheertully
with any other minister whom they might see mt to

A corresp ndent Of the London Times,
writing from Constsntlnople under date of
September 10th, sffirms that a very bad
feeling exists among the Greek population
of Turkey towards the Turkish govern
ment. They rejoice at the prospect of war
between Turkey and Russia; and though
the Sultan has shown them great kindness
of late, their hereditary hatred of the Turks
has not been abated in the least The let
ter contains the following incident:
when the steamer which was 10 take back
Prince Radzivil approached Thereapia, with Rus
sian friyate i'm tow, the whole Of the Greek popua
ton Of the village crowded 10 the water side; and if
there could be any doubt respecting the sentiments
with which they animated, IL soon dispelled
by enunciation Of triumphant exclamation beard
on all sidcs-''We shall soon hear mass in the
Mosque OF Sancta Sophia"
Russian agents busily engaged in foment-
ing this vile spirit serious quarrel recently broke
out between some Bulgsrians and Greeks of the
Archipelago, and the disputsnts resolved to decide
the question by pitched battle near Pers The
Greeks wished TO make national affair Of the quar-
rel and actually threatened To take the life Of their
own consul on his refusal 10 sanction their bloody
scheme The battle thanks 10 the interference Of
the Turkish authorities, ended in smoke; but such
demonstrations rather curious In these times Of
excitement"
