Now, what does the above show Why althoughit
is not necessary to recapitulate the figures speak
for themselves that the parishes voting for and against
the bill through their representatives in the Legsa
ture paid into the common fund last year 81 ,l3039o
o.. The parishes voting nay paid $2T2,l 40 So. The
parishes voting yea paid S85S ,25S IGNORE than
foar-ffths of the entire sum! The whole amount of
the taxes propersof all the parishes reached 81 ,372,
800 IA. Here, glance, is shown that who pay
the largest proportion of revenue to support the gov
eminent are disposed to grant the application set
forth in the bill. And had all the parishes been rep
resented entertain little no doubt that the pre-
ponderance would have been fully eghtteaths instead
of four-ffths.
We contend and can prove that we are as good re-
publicans in the universally accepted sense of the
ter be found in the Legislature or elsewhere
and we would not if we could allow wealth to exer
else more than its due share of influence in the ope
rations of our government where considerations of
mere policy are involved yet we do maintain, and
shall maintain, that purely financial question
where dollars and cents are alone concerned-that
those who will have to stand the brunt Of the losses
that may be incurred taking the ,rorst view of the
case should be heard in preference to those who
least liable to loss.
We have no doubt, as we remarked above, that
eghtte nths of the taxable property of this common
wealth, as set down in the Auditors report and as
represented in the Legislature, is in favor Of this
railroad subscription. We believe the final vote, to
be taken on Thursday next will substantiate this
view of the matter, even if constitutional majority
| is not obtained. And what can be thought Of the
sense of justice OF those gentlemen who will perss
in defeating the ardent wishes of their ellowctzen
who contribute so great a majority of the taxes t.
the general fund But, we will not dwell upon thi
/ theme. 1t is repalsiye to all our ideas of equitable
! dealing between man and man.
| Under such circumstances, it seems to us the oppo
nents of this bill, matter how strong their hostility
shoaldswaive their objections on grounds of shee
Justice And shall hold to that view until cor
trary one is forced upon US by indisputable acts.

Legislative Absentceism.

The absence of members from their seats mas long
been considered serious as well as growing evil,
but it remained for this session Of the Legislature to
deyeope its frightful magnitude. We believe state
ment that bare quorums have transacted the business
of the session half the time thus far, would be SUBJ
stantiated by reference to the journals of the House.
And it is well known that several adjournments have
been forced owing lack of numbers to constitute
a quorum! Yet, we unhesitatingly venture the as,
sertion that not single member will fail to draw his
mileage and per diem for the full session, whether he
has been in his place fifth fourth, quarter or half
the time. ..4.."
Some people may look upon such conduct as right
and proper but we do not We not only regard it as
the opposite of right manitestly improper but as

assumed which if practced in other spheres of action
would bring reproach if not positive disgrace, upon

sin. Eut what is implied in being assured of the
divine appreciation II is not merely being ASST
red that we act in accordance with the forms, Gus
toms or fashions of those by whom we arc surroun
died. nor is il hoping orr acts are correct nor is it
a blind guessing at what is our duty. 1t implies
something more than having the appreciation of
man, or the appreciation Of crccds. confessions or
lScipincs on our sirlc for these cannot give lis
the assurance necessary. And yet this assurance
is of infinite Importance in our acts-wc are deal
ing with an infinite God and with the interests Of
an immortal soul At every step we arc touching
cords which will vibratc in eternity. This assu-
rance is the sunshine of an enlightened conscience
the smiles of God-the ability to appeal without
fear or dread to divine omnisccncc, and say as
Peter said "Lorl, thou knowcst all things, thou
knowcst that l believe this is right"
Now, if have faith in the correctness of my
acts, will wish to seek the divine blessing upon
me in their performance. "In all thy ways ac-
knowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. u
But it does not approve of pray or for the divine
blessing in the performance of any act, it cannot
be of faith, therefore il is sin. We cannot have
the divine appreciation in giving to any place OF
amusement where VIC cannot carry our religion
with u.s. "If our hearts condemn lis, God is great
er than our hearts anu knowcth all things. Ii
therefore, we have not sufficient faith in the right
cnuSncSS of our course as to lead lis to pray Tor
Gods blessing in it, we had far better abandon the
whole matter as evil in the sight of God. Let men
say or think what they WILL God has said WHAT

" Whatsoever yc do. do all to the glory of God.
