The Press rs. Temperance.

1t surprises us no little to find in
The louisiana Organ of Temperance
published in New Orleans an article
with the above head, in which the au-
thor dashcs off with the usual amount
Of rant at what he is pleased to call
'the secular press" which he says
gives unmistakable evidences of being
in the opposition, and wholly astray
upon the great principal of Temper
ance." The editor says:
''ln proof of this position, we could
swell this paper to volume, and then
throw down the gauntlet and challenge
them to show that they have not acted
with great duplicity. There is a great
show Of sincerity, assume a position
somewhat like the following: 1--WE
are warm friends of Temperance, and
there is no one who would like to see
the cause prosper more than ourscl-
YES" and then, after this casual pro-
tcssion of ardent friendship, labor with
iar-fctched and strained arguments
againstany attempt TO stay the evil; and
atthe very same time repel, with insul-
ted dignity, any insinuation that they
are dealing uniustly and unfairly with
this great principle.
We might say in the authors own
words In proof of the (fallacy) of his
position" that we could swell volum
but there isno need of multiplying
words.
The manifest object of this yusc is to
get the "secular press to come out
in vindication of itself and then through
prejudice, fanaticism and the Sons of
Temperance, arouse the people and
prepare their palates for the dainty
"Maipe LoaO'' with all its beautiful
features.

1.-The law should provide for con-
tingencies that cannot arise as we'll as
contingencies that might arise under
singular condolences" This axiom
from Pufendorf 1--WE believe) is impor-
tant in civil things, and is indispensa-
bly, necessary in order to prevent con-
fusion. Ifthc law does not provide,
it is very lame and inefficient.
There seems to be a lamencss in it
with regard to the singular coincidence
that occurred the other day in our
Parish election for Representatives.
Each one Of the three candidates.
Duncan, Bai]y and Hatch received
each 476 votes. The parish is EMIT
led to but two representatives and here
it would seem there are three elected.
For two Or three days the town has
been in quandiary with regard to
the matter. 1t is important that the
Parish should be Representatives,
are but a few days to elaspe, and what
shall be done.
With regard to the election on
Monday last it becomes our duty to
state few facts with regard to the
matter which places the judges of that
election in very unenviable light be-
fore the community 1t seems that
two persons were appointed to keep
the tales, Mr.. A. w. Bell and J. d.
Stuart. Before the votes we're coun-
ted Bell became unwell aud retired.
The poles being closed, the COM
mssioners counted the yotes-having
appointed two taliesmen to keep the
lists required by law. In front of the
stand several gentlemen had taken
their places to keep ITALICS on their
own accounts. At the forty-ninth vote
the clerks for the commissioners call
cd out tally on Mr.. Hatch's vote, and
the gentlemen in front we're only fo~r
the commissioners decided to abide by
their clerk. and Messrs. Wolfe, Barrow
and others, gave notice that if a tie
should happen they would require the
votes to be counted over. The ballots
were deposited in the box after being
counted, and the box after being lock-
ed was placed in the hands Of the
Sheriff and the key kept by one Of the
commissioners. In the morning the
commissioners met to make their re-
turns, and Messrs. Christine and
Jones, two of the commissioners, re-
fused to count the votes over. Mr..
Dufrocq was in favor of counting them
and in signing the certificates, accor-
ding to law, SO expressed it under his
signature. Mr.. Dufrocq then in pres
ence of the commissioners desired Mr..
Babin to secure the box containing the
ballots, and three padlocks were put
on it-one CT the keys is in the hands
of Mr.. Jones, one in the hands of Mr..
Dufrocq, and the other with the box
in the possession Of the Sheriff. MIR.
Christine having refused to take one
of the keys-;hus the matter rests at
present. A new election is ordered
and it remains to be seen whether
Messrs. Bailey and Duncan will stand
another election or contest their right
to a seat in the Legislature. We un-
dcrstand that an application has been
made to Judge Robertson for n1a,s-
dumas to compel the commissioners to
count the votes over.
Such is true statement of the facts
with regard to the matter. We can

NATIONAL MONUMENT TO YELLING
roN.-A London letter says that pro-
posal countersigned by the Earl Of
Derby, has been issued for a national
monument to the Duke Of Wellington
in the shape Of an institution calcula-
ted to benefit the present and future
generations. Her Majesty heads the
list Of subscribers with an Offering of
FL 1000; Prince Albert subscribes
$500, and very handsome sums have
been announced as subscriptions by a
pumber Of noblemcn and gentlemen.
EDlroR CoMEr.-Some fault has
been found against the authorities for
| allowing some Of our citizens to fire,
crackers on Christmas eve and Christ
mas night. l would not have envied
the position Of the constable in selling
and bringing before the Mayor, a num-
Der of fair ladies who took an active
part in the violation Of the law on said
occasion. especially at the Harvey
House. l believe in enforcing the law,
and | know the Mayor has always been
opposed to fire, crackers and have no
doubt, he will sec the law strictly en-
forced, but on Christmas-day and
Christmas eve, in all countries more
latitude is allowed than at other times.
1t is not to be supposed that he can be
at his Office attending to business on
Christmas or New Years when every
other osice-holder is enjoying them
selves, either with their families or else
where, but those who violate the law
hereafter, even Oh New Years day,
will be noted down by the officers and
attended to in due time. Some who
find fault against Christmas frolic, |
presume hide personal luminosity to the
Mayor, under feigncd desire to see
the law enforced. JUSTICE.
TThe London Globe, in announ-
cling the death Of Lady Lovelacc, "sole
daughter" Of Byron, says:
On the Sth July, 1885, he poets
daughter was united to Lord King,
subsequently Tin 1889 created Earl Of
Lovelace-a connection by which the
lineage of John Locke was blended
with that Of Byron Much Of the in
terest which attaches to the daughter
Of Milton and Shakespeare was felt in
the deceased lady wherever the En-
glish language is spoken, and to large
circle Of private friends her death will
be source Of sincere sorrow. Highly
gifted, and endowed with large share
Of her fathers vivid temperament, she
delighted in intellectual as we'll as
benevolent and kindly pursuits, one Of
her most intimate and priced confdants
having been for many years that intel
ligent judge of female excellence, Mrs.
Jameson. To that lady's pen we
should refer the public for a true ap-
probation of her character.

T. We has received from George
NJ. Heroman, copy ofthc much tai
kcd of and doubtless much abused
book, entitled "Unclc Toms Cabin.
When the work first appeared in
New Orleans one of the papers there
delt out what was thought to be "a
very severe lampooning' on the book
sellers who offered it for sale. This is
good evidence that there must be some
thing in the book more than that
blind fanaticism' which is spoken Of
A work that can have a run of three
hundred thousand copies in a few
months must have something to recon-
mend it, At all early hour we will read
the book, and make such comments
on it as our judgement dictates, with
out any regard to what has been, or
mayL said.
