81 votes before he can become the nom.

from the fact that there are more than

not hesitate to affirm that more than one

REMARKABLE CuREs BY ZEsos LANGLols,

our parish has been known for many
years for his unparalleled success in the
cur Of chronic diarrhna, d~ysentery and
bloody aux. The many remarkable
cures lie has effected of these diseases.
pronounced incurable by the medical
profession, attest the truth of the above
remarks. His system of treatment he
learned more than forty years ago from
the Indians, and by which he accomp-
lished his own cure of q chronic dysen-
terry Of eleven years standing. Since
then many persons have applied to him
when they had failed to obtain relief
elsewhere, and he has invariably u c
ceeded in mastering every case.
We take the liberty Of writing the
above because many persons who may
be suffering from some Of the above dis
eases, when relief can be obtained from
no other source, might be Immediately
cured by calling upon him at his resi-

Last week we published an able arti
Gle from the Vicksburg Southern Sun,
urging the claims Of the Hon. VIM. S
Parham, of this parish, as a candidate
for United States Senator Tle absence
Of the editor from home during all OF
that week, prevented us from accompa.
nying that article with appropriate com.
nents. 1t is nov certain that the frioads
Of Mr.. Parham will urge his name this
winter as a candidate for the Senate
The position, claims and talents of Mr..
p. will command the earnest and candid
consideration of every Democrat III the
State. Our opinion of his qualifications
and fitness for the. Station, has been SO
often and so clearly expressed in these
columns, that it is useless for MS to reit-
crate it now. All acknowledge Mr.. P.
to stand in the front rank of Louisiana
statesmen, and his position in this por.
ton Of the State gives him at this time
apecDliar claim upon the Democracy of
Louisiana.

the highest respect, and his brilliant ca

Ray The Memphis Enquirer says that Gov.
Harris has very moderate ideas, for democrat of
the profits Of banking-fxing them, in his Message,
at thiry-six to fifty per cent when it is well known
that they do not average ten. Well it is about as
near as democrat ever gnesses at the truth when
inveighing against men ormeasures and the Enquirer
ought to remember, in addition 10 this that ignor-
ance is one of the staples of democracy and the
secret of its success. Gov. Harris if he knows
better HIMSELF is speaking to those of his party who
do not know better, and thousands of whom do not
even know the meaning of the term--per cent
Gov. Harris loves money as well as most men, and
if he thought that banks make the half of thirty
six per cent he would soon be a stakeholder.

tee which was ordered to be spread upon the Jour
nal
Mr. Mickey said he was reported in the Senate
Journal and the Nashville Union as having voted
on Friday for Mr.. Paynes resolution authorizing
each member 10 subscribe for four daily papers OF
the city, 10 be paid fer out Of the State Treasury,
when be was absent that day in attendance upon
the Williamson Fair. lie desired to have the jour
nal corrected. lie would not have voted for the
amendment.
The Speaker on behalf Of the Clerk explained
that when Mr.. Mickleys name was called, some one
answered, and hence the mistake
Mr.. Stovall inquired whether the correction would
not defeat the proposition
The Speaker said il would, as the vote would then
be a tie.
Mr.. Stoyall hoped the correction would be made
and the proposition TO subscribe for papers go by
the board It would cost the members less to sub
scribe ior the papers and have them sent from the
office of publication to their constituents.
Mr. Bumpass moved to let the matter lie over.
COncurred in.
Mr.. Hunter offered resolution that ten copies OF
the Legislative Union and American be furnished
TO the members and tina, the same be paid ioT from

The resolution was finally amended so as TO read
four instead Of Ten, aud thus amended was carried

ses- The Legislature has commenced its sess

By The Legislature has commenced its session
with war upon the Code. Repeated resolutions
have been offered for the repeal of this, or the
amendment of that section. 1t was only at the
last session that the Code was adopted--The Legis-
lature being democratic-and now, with the same
party in power, the work of undoing is rapidly
progressing This is a sad commentary upon de
mocratic lawmakers, and reflects credit upon the
people who select men, a majority of whom can dc
right only by guess, and are capable of doing wrong
from choice. We do not blame the present Lcgis-
lature for overhaulng the Code, because it greatly
needs it, and allude to the subject only to let the
people see she folly of electing men who do moi
know how to make laws, and thus keeping up the
necessity of repeating and amending at each sue
cessive session. If it happens that wise men enact
good law, they are likely to be succeeded by fools
to whom wisdom seems folly and the law is re-
pealed. And in this way, the laws are made un.
stable, and the government inefficient.

The Norwalk Gazette of October 4th, says that
up to Saturday night inclusive, upwards Of 100000
bushels of oysters had been taken off in smacks,
schooners and other craft from the newly discover
ed oyster bed. All through the week from two tC
three hundred sail of vessels were engaged in
dredging; and again, on Sunday, over hundred
sail could be counted on the spot from the ConHect
cut highlands. A gentleman, competent to judge
who has been upon the ground, gives it as his
opinion that the entire bed cannot be exhausted in
Ave years. The average earnings of every mar
who has worked upon the spot is stated in the Nor
walk paper to be, at the lowest figure admissible
twenty dollars a day. The discocery is more re-
munerative anG valuable than any gold mine evel
discovered in California The excitement all along
