It's Practical Operation.--The practicability
of obtaining a large sum subscribed to finish
the Washington Monument through the prac-
| teal operation of the plan suggested by this
paper, was fully and favorably tested on Mon
day last at the municipal election. There were
but eighty-two votes polled, but nineteen dol
lars deposited in the "Washington Monument
Box" from sums ranging from one dime up to
a gold piece of two dollars and a half. The
corporation proper does not comprise what is
considered the torn of Plaquemine, and one
hundred votes is considered a large number to
be polled. Now, if every village and city in
the Union would subscribe one quarter of the
above sum in this manner to every hundred
votes polled at the next Presidential election,
the necessary amount would doubtless be oh
tanned to continue the Monument in its rapid
ascent, and without interruption.
1t is surprising to US that our city contempo-
raries do not notice our suggestion (Which
could not have escaped their attention) which,
no matter with whom nor where it originated
cannot be doubted as being highly appropriate,
if not feasible; nor doubt that it is eminently
national and patriotic thus to raise money suf-
fieient to finish a monument to the memory of
one, which, of all memories, should be first in
the hearts of Americans.

Re-Estabhshmen Of the French Empire.- 1T
is expected that the next bold step Of I,onis
Napoleon, in France, will be to proclaim the
Empire. Prince Louis addressed the Judges of
the Superior Courts on the 18th, when thew took
the oaths Of allegiance, and he minated that he
was the legitimate successor of Napoleon. and
mad a right to the throne of France bv birth
ms doctrine of Imperial legitimacy caused a
profound sensation in Paris. The correspon.
dent OF the London Times writes that the ayow-
al OF these tendencies has not come on the nnh.
nc unaWares; nevertheless, no trifing sensation
has been produced from the of.hand sort If
manner in which the great principle of universal
suffrage seems to be treated by Louis Napoleon
Hence arises the apprehension that on the 9Th
ofMay-the anniversary ofthe death ofthe En-
.peror-Louls Napoleon may proclaim the En-
pire.

Beef Sugar in Utah.-We learn that Messrs
). w. Coward, W. Collinson and Russell, who
have recently emigrate6 from England to Utah,
have taken with them machinery for the man.
ufacture of Beet-Root on the largest scale,
they are wealthy men, and have invested
$25o,ooo in this enterprise alone. Their ma
chlnery was made in England, and will turn out
26o tons in a year. Fifty wagons were or.
dered at Kanesville to carry the machinery to
SAT- Lake City. The beet-seed was sent out
last year. There is no better country in the
word lot the production Of beets, or other
roots, than Utah; It will be a great advantage

themselves. n'As

Elegant Establishments.-We notice that
two elegant coffee houses and billiard table
rooms have recently gone into operation. One
on Bank street, by I. ORILL1os, to which is con-
nected a large hall and concert room the other,
on Main street, by N. VALEGA, likewise ele-
gantly furnished, and with billiard tables. Some
may doubt that this increase of coffee houses is
any evidence of prosperity but we think there
is no surer sign that a village is growing rapid
ly than in the opening of elegant and luxurious
establishments, such as.the above.

Declaration Of an Independent Editor.-The
editor of the Point Coupee Echo thus laws
down emphatically the working principles Of
his paper. 1t is pretty plain talk, and no mis-.
take:
We therefore give notice, that for the future.
no notice of meetings, no announcements Of
candidates, no advertisement of any description
can appear in our paper unless the cash accom-.
pa1nles the order for the same. We would also
admonish our subscribers that by the third Sat-
urday of July next the names Of those who are
Two years In arrears will be stricken from our
list. Our paper is democratic, and will contin.
ue so; but we cannot live on a name. And if
IS but fair, that those who profit by the publici-
ty afforded by our sheet, should contribute to
Its support. Being the only paper published in
the parish cur columns are open to Wings as
wella democrats. But both must pay, if they
wish to avail themselves of the medium it at.

The Wing Address.-The Bulletin publishes
this Address in full, and fully endorses it
Among others, it has the signatures of both
MOORE and LANDRY of this State. The follow
ing extract from the Address is to the point
and explains its character:
So far from opening agitation on the slavery
questions, our avowed object is, and the effect
of the proposition we assert must be, to termi.
nate agitation by assuming, as a starting point
for the canvass, that the entire party, North and
South, faithfully abides by the law as it exists,
and maintains the Compromise measures as a
final settlement of the exciting questions they
embrace.
The schism in the caucus grew out of the
following resolution, offered by MI. GENTRY,
of Tennessee, as an amendment to that of
Mr.. STANLY, of North Carolina, merely recon-
mending that the Wing National Convention
be held in Baltimore, June 10th:
"Resolred, That the Wing members of Con-
gress, in thus recommending a time and place
for the National Wing Convention to assemble,
are MOTTO be understood as pledging themselves
to support the nominees of said Convention,
except upon the condition that the persons
and there nominated as candidates for Pre-
and Vice President shall be publicly and
unequivocally pledged to regard the series of
known as the Compromise measures
as a final settlement of the dangerous ques-
lions which they embraced, and to maintain that
settlement inviolate."
All good patriots will stand by this Resolu.

10 Wings and Others.

This week we send a number of copies of our
paper to those in the Parish who have never as
yet been subscribers, but who are known and ac-
knowle,lsed as among the best and most consistent
in the Wing ranks. To others who disagree with
us in politics, we likewise send it, believing they
would like to see both sides of the question. OF
all we request they will read and become acquain-
ted with the character of our paper; and il, by the
LIST Of June, thay do not wish to be considered sub
scribers, they have only to let it remain in the
Postofice.. To the Wings generally we look for
an undivided support: the entire and cordial pat
ronage of its party, is the just expectation of a
party journal; but that description of support, or
any other, do we ask or seek, unless we merit it
by uncaesing energy and application to our bust
giving a correct epitome, as far as our Ii
will permit, of the domestic, foreign and po-
litical news of the times; and in exercising what
humble talent we possess in our editorial course as
tends to the elevation of the high moral attributes
of our nature-in pleading for progress and the
advancement of the peoples interests-in main
tanning and disseminating the true and radical
of Republicanism-and while boldly
.eagueing for the constitutional rights of the South,
never losing sight for moment of the inestimable
the greatness and power, which belong
o the present and future generations of our land
while we acknowledge the banner of our glorious |
Union. |

The Municipal Election.

Last Monday was an exciting day here. The
election for municipal officers took place anc
as there were plenty of the best denizens plac'
| ed before the people by their friends, the con.
test consequently caused much interest and
contention. We are g~ratified to say that an ex
cellent ticket has been chosen to control the
affairs of our hourishing own for the ensuing
year. For Mayor there were three candidates
one of them said that if elected he would APP
propriate the salary $4,000 towards purchasing
a fi%re-engine; a second declared that he would
expend it in the payment of his honest debts :;
and the third, and fortunate gentleman-as a
matter of course where the fair sex are inter.
ested-boldly proclaimed at the head of his
ticket that the widows and orphans of our
town would be benefited by his election to
the full extent Of the $500. In our opinion
the ladies of Plaquemine should call a meet
ing, pass a resolution of thanks to the gall
liant gentleman, and present him with some
proper testimonial of their regard, for conduct
so worthy of imitation. The following is the
Mayor-Capt. w. G. DALES.

table, and at an early day.
