ca-ion, with the lovers Of the dance.
the fanciiil, the gay and the grotesque.
We understand that Capt. MARKHAM
gives the use of the hall gratis, and al
=. furnishes the Refreshments gratis
for the occasion. We shall be on
hat,l With our full corps Of reporters,
and onr readers may expect faithful
narrative Of all that happens on that

We cannot but look upon the action
Of the democrats in this matter a.
wrong, but a. it now stands, VIC sup
pose it must 60 up to the United
States Senate for final arbitration
Our reading and understanding Of the
law and constitution, however, is diff;
fcrcnt from that Of many who honest
ly think the proper course has beer
taken by the legislature, or rather by
the majority Of our representatives
The question, however, is not void OF
difficulty, and stands in such n shape
that men may honestly differ in opin-
ion upon it.

Free Banking.

Maj. Ranncy member Of the Leg
islat,,rc from New Orleans, In. taken
tho initiative towards establishing u
system Of Free Banking in this State
Mr.. Ranncy's Bill proposes to allow
ny basis Of Banking operations, "tho
evidences Of debt Of the y. States, the
bonds Of this State, and Of the City of
New Orleans, or the bonds Of any
of the Railroad Companies ofthc State,
duly Incorporated, secured by first
mortgage on said roads, &C." These
bonds &C., arc to be deposited with,
and held by, the Auditor Of the State,
for the exclusive redemption Of the
notes ofany bank or corporation dcpos-
iting them and doing business under
this net.
The bill is doubtless good enough ms
far as it goes, but VIC think that bank.
ing corporations wiW find very few
evidences Of debt Of the United
States" md ctcn If tho whole Of the
bonds Of this State and New Orleans
are bought up and made the basi. Of
operations as proposed, our banking
capital will not be any very great sum
for circulation. TIE bonds Of Louis;
lana arc ont for about six millions If
dollars in ihvor Of tho Citizens Bank,
the Bonds Of New Orleans arc about
three millions. and Ms there arc no
Railroad bonds Of any great amount
yet given, the whole amount Of this
kind Of capital is only about ten mil
lions But not more than one half
Of this is availiblc at present for the
purpose proposed by Mr.. Ranncy,
though. should the State issue its bonds
TO the amount limited in the constitu-
ton $1,000 ,OOO) that amount may DC
added to the sum already mentioned.
But as n whole VIC like this bill of
Mr.. Ranncy cspcc tally the clause >lD
which prohibits the issue of notes Of n
lower denomination than five dollars.

DISTANCE LENDS ENcmANrMENr.
We clip the following from the
Louisville journal, Of the 18th ult.-
We hope it will smitc home TO the
civic functionarics Of our city. OF
course VIC are too wcll-brcd to deny
the truth ofa single remark vcnturcd
by our contemporary:
"By the law of Louisiana, the 9Th
Of January, the anniversary Of the
most notable and brilliant military
event in our history, is set apart from
the ordinary days Of the year, for spec
ial honor and observance. In New
Orleans. this year, the courts suspend
ed their business, public bodies did
not sit, LEGAL and commercial trans
actions were suspended, and the pco-
pie devoted their minds to patriotic
"reminiscences and feelings. Such is
the tribute the present generation pays
to the gallant achievements, If which
that day is tire anniversary. Well
worthy is it to be IGNORED, celebrated
and remembered in all time to come
by the frcemcn Of America, and par
ticularly by the citizens of tint NOW
great and prosperous city,
Babylon, where is thy might . 1t
is gone in the wind" The present
generation was specializing in cotton,
or caucussing over ordinances on the
anniversary Of the "gallant achieve
mcnts' in question.

A STRANGE DRINK.-=An old topper
bet that he could when blindoldcd,
tell each Of several kinds Of liquors.
When brandy, whiskcy, gin, and 9TH
or drinks were presented to him, he
pronounced correctly what they were,
At length a glass Of pure water was
given him he tasted il, paused. tus-
ted it again, and again considered, and
shook his head ~ Inst said he, Gen
tlcmcn. I give it up. l am not used
to that sort Of liquor"

The files Of piper from Mexico to

country. They also give an occasional
item Of the bloody and lawlcss con-

or attempt to stem these movements
among the people. We lave but lit

The following interesting Mcs4Ag
from the President Of the Unitcc
States, in regard to the Florida In
dams, was laid before the IIousc o.
Representatives on Wednesday I'll,

the Committee on Military Affairs -
T" thr Scnate aml IIowsc Qf Rep
yescntrtires II Ms U~il,l S,~,cs.
have the honor herewith to truns
NIT report from the Secretary Of the
Interior, from which it appears that
the Efforts Of that Department to in.
ducc the Indians remaining III Florida
to cmigr-te to the country assigned
to their tribes west If the Mississippi
have been entirely unsuccessful The
only alternative that now remains, !.
either to compel them by force to co,n:
ply with the treaty taade with the tribe
in May, 1882, by which they agreed
10 cmigrate within three years front
that date, Or to allow the arrangement
made with thcm in 1912; rtftrrea II,
in the Secretary report, by With
they were to remain in the tcntcraty
occupancy Of q portion cf the pcnin.
sula until the government should ~rc
fit to remove them to contin,c.
1t cannot hc denied that the with.
holding Of 50 large n portion Of her
territory from settlement, is II serious
injury to the State Of Florida and,
although, ever since the arrangement
above referred to, the Indians have
manifested n desire to remain at peace
with the whites the presence Of pco-
pic who may at any time, and upon
any real or fancied prcvocation, be
driven to acts Of hostility, is u source
"f constant anxiety and alarm to the
inhabitants on that |.ordcr.
There can bc no doubt, also, that
the welfare Of the Indians would be
promoted by their removal from ter
ritory. where frequent collisions be-
tween them and their pH,rt powerful
ncighbors are daily becoming more in-
cvitnblc.
On the other hand, there is every
reason to believe that any ,nanifcsta-
tons Of design to remove them by
force, or to take possession of the top
ritory allotted 10 them, would be i'm
'ncdiately rctaliatc1 by acts of cruelty
on the dcfcncclc,s inhabitants.
The number Of Indians now re-
naming in The State, it is true, il very
inconsidcrablc, mot exceeding, it il
believed, five hrindtcd,) int owing to
the great extent Of the country occu-
pied by them, and its adaptation to
their peculiar mode of warfare, force
very disproportioncd to their numbers
would be necessary to capture or cxpcl
then, or even to protect the white
settlements from their incursions. The
military force now Stationed in that
State wo,iH be inadequate to these OBJ
jccts, and if it should be determined
to enforce their removal, or to survey
the territory allotted TO t@scln, some
addition to it would be necessary, Is
the Government has but II small force
available for that service. Additional
appropriations for the support Of the
army would also, in that event, be ne
ccsary.
For these reasons ! have deemed it
proper to submit the whole matter to
Congress for such action as they may
deem best
