F1NASc1ER1NG.-The Detroit Daily Avertiser
says:
Enhance has language of its own. Its
thieves are not thieves, but defaulters It's re-
fusal to pay is lucus a non lucendo, called H.
quotation. Having more notes aloat than means
to pay them, is being short of currency the
world calls it poverty and insolvency. Pawning
is hypothecation; shining and borrowing is
fnanciering Swindling is over-operating; tax
ing mems and woman's money to keep safely.
and squandering it, or losing it in speculation,
is suspending. Loaning out other peoples mo-
ney, is accommodation. Paying out doubtful
issues in redeeming their own, is retiring circu-
lation. Embezzlement is extending liabilities.
Stealing State and Government bonds is an over
issue; and managing bank well, is continuing
to make somebody not interested furnish means
to bank upon. Finance has smooth business
name for almost every act relating to money
its safe-keeping, disbursement, and prompt pay
ment; the reverse of which, in private indi-
vidual, is called by harsh Saxon names, such as
are found in bills of indictment and penal stat
utes. The votaries of finance never steal; they
overdraw. They are never poor, though often
very close They never refuse to pay honest
debts; they suspend, The commercial history
OF this country, for the past twenty-five years,
is history of financiering only or chiefly
by bankers, nor even by brokers' but by class
OF adventurers who have seized upon these ca
pacities to shroud design of plumber under tech

Something About Roads.

| The present miserable and almost impossible
condition Of our public highways, demands
that we should make few illusions thereto.
SO that the proper authorities may have cognisance
of the same Our citizens, in common with those
the Parish at large, taxed for the support Of
| the parochial government wherein it is provided
that the riparian proprietors shall furnish and keep
in repair for public use, good roads on either side
OF all navigable water courses in this parish. To
enforce this law Inspectors are named annually,
whose bounden duty is to see that the require
ments of the law strictly complied with, for sti-
puiated salaries more or less, according to the du-
ties they may have to perform. We would ask the
officers now on duty whether they have conformed
to the requirements of the plain mandates of the
law, and to their duties public functionaries? If
they have not-and the existing wretched cond-
ton of our roads justfes the conclusion that they
have been negligent Of their trust-why such
fragrant dereliction of duty?
Is the travelling public obliged to submit without
recourse or remedy. to things as they actually ex-
ist, at the sacrifice of human life not to mention
detention, and damage to vehicles of every descrip-
tion injury Of horses, frequently and almost daily
occurring on our different public roads. The delay
this state of things causes to business particularly
since the opening of the Opelousas Railroad, is Sc
rious in the extreme Justice to those employed |
in running omnbuses to the railroad stations should
cause the authorities to take hold of this matter,
and at once remedy the evil complained of.
We are inclined to the belief that this can be
done if We SO will it. 1t is certainly matter of
great establishment that roads are so neglected.
when little labor or expense is required to keep
hem in perfect order. The front propretors would
scarcely realise the cost or trouble, fthe work was
lppied in season; and, moreover, we would never
'e troubled with bad roads. The question is, must
shall we submit to the present state of things, or
hall we go to work and apply the remedy, if there
~ any?

Important Correction.

i Unforeseen accidents and false steps will occa
sionaly occur in the best regulated families; SO, a
times are errors overlooked in correcting the proc
Impressions Of the most ably conducted newspa
pers-vde the Minerva of the 26th ult., in the sth
line of the second paragraph Of the article headed
The Naturalization Question" contributed by B
J. Sage Esq, of Newt Orleans. 1t will be observed
that the line printed reads: "Our political tutors
may strangle it in its infancy" 1t is scarcely ne.
cessary to tell the intelligent reader to substitute
lictor for tutor in the line here referred to- though
are free to admit in one sense that our political
"tutors" licked as as bad as "ictors" would have
done.
The error here pointed out, is, to the eye of the
superficial reader, umimportant; but when prop
ery viewed is nevertheless grave, and fails to con-
vey to the mind of the reader the idea intended to
be impressed by the writer Under the circum-
stances, and act Of justice to the author, as
well as with the view Of sustaining our claims
to the rank of classic editor-a title conferred on
us by the Franco American editor of the Union,
(he objects to the title of French editor I'VE have
made the correction, and shall endeavor to inform
our readers who, and what are lictors and thereby
obviate those who may, per chance, be little rus

dusty tones, to acquire a knowledge of them.

licked or kicked the said malefactors (femalefac-
tors too, we suppose.) Hence, they were called
lictors. Excellent institutions We wish they
would come now and strangle few of the male
