Where do yon Stand 3.

Mr.. Gray, independent candidate fol-
Sheriff, claims to be Democrat On
that ground he appeals to Democrats for
aid and votes. We are warranted in say
ing that every Democrat in Rapldes who
has nnwitsingly promised to support Mfr.
Gray has done it on the sapposition that
he is still Democrat. Yet we find him
the candidate of The Know NothiDgs and
their only candidate for Sheriff. They are
drawing comparisons between him and
the Democratic nominee. His claims are
advocated most vellemently in theirorgan,
the Know Nothing American. His. posi-.
ton is that of antagonism to the Demo
cratic party. lie could not possibly pur-
sue a course more hostile to the party to
which he pretends still to. belong.
In the name of the Democrats Of this
parish we demand from Mr.. Gray some
Of his position. Does he In
tend to support and vote for the regular
Democratic State ticket headed with the
name of T. 0. Moore, or for the sham
ticket Of Summers as nominated on the
18th instant beaded with the name Of 7.
j. Wells Will he support the Demo
-
cratic Legislative ticket or will he give
his vote for the Know Nothing, Opposi-
ton or Independent nominees? We do
not ask these, questions for the sake Of
multiplying words !; We want an answer;
the Democrats OF Rapides want an answer
and they have right to demand it. We
expect Mr. Gray will give it explicitly
aud pot attempt to smuggle himself into
favor by false preteDses. We wish 10
know in order that We may inform our
friends on which side of the hedge Mr..
Gray is running, for many are beginning
to believe that he is trying torun on both
sides at oace..
The same questions are put to Mr.. W.
B. Shelton, the opposition or independent
candidate, self-nominated, for member OF
the House Of Representatives. Is Mr..
Shelton a Democrat? Will be vote for
the Democratic State ticket? Will he
vote for and support the Democratic parish
ticket2 Mr.. Shelton processes to be the
man Of the people and ia the name Of the
people we ask him to define his position
If he is going to support all the Know
Nothing nominees, let us know it. If he
intends to damage the Democratic party
aud to throw stumbling blocks in their
way, If be designs to strike at Democratic
principles In the same manner that he has
already struck at Democratic usages, let
us all know it that we may govern our.
selves accordingly.

THE French people seem to be OF an
opinion similar to the one we expressed
the other day, that it is not the amount
but the style Of display in the ballet that
determines the moral character of the
performance. A certain MARGUERITE LA
HuouENorrE is setting the Parisians mad
with the vigor and audacity Of her enter
cheats. "She is not woman-she is a
volcano" She charms, electrifes, raw
ishes-elevates her inferior to fabulous
hight above her superior extremities, and
is as queenly in her poses as she is un-
rivaled in her caracoles; and yet so says
an innocent French correspondent, the
police-those argus-eyed guardians of the
public morals-have taken no notice OF
the affair Even PArER FANILIAs, so far
from grumbling at the danger incurred by
his women-folks in witnessing so extensive
a display, seems totally unconscious OF
risk, and is, in fact, observed-perhaps
through mere absence of mind-to pay
rather more than usual attention to his
opera-glass at the time it is going forward

SYMPATHY with the excellent and
much-injured SIcKLBs seems to rage at
Washington with all the violence of an
epidemic disease. All the demireps in
the city--if accounts are to be credited
have taken sides with him; and, either for
his sake or their own, are desirous to have
the fact known as widely as possible. In
fact, an insane lust for publicity, and
curiosity that no sense of shame is able
to restrain, appear to be the prevailing
characteristics Of the female population
of that most unwholesome locality, the
Metropolis of the United States-vices
which they are free enough to display at
oil times, but never, it would appear, more
openly than on this most unsuitable occa-
sion. To this disreputable state Of things
the press, and especially the press of New
York city, is doing its utmost to minister.
The avidity with which they snatch at,
and the tedious particularly with which
they give the prurient details of the testi
mony, indicate the spirit with which
those journals are conducted, and the
estimate which their conductors place
upon the taste, sense, and morals of theil
readers. If these are, as they claim Il
be, the educators of the people, how will
the rising generation be educated2 1t ii

be to believe it-that there is a conserva

tors-these filthy teachers of the scienc
of immortality: otherwise, what is to be

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD
Another bold British Nimrod has come to his
end in the way "natural" to men who pass the
greater part of their lives on horseback and in
jumping over FIVE barred gates. The City of
Baltimore brings news of the death of the
Marquis of Waterford, who was killed by fall
from his horse while hunting in ireland.
Lord Waterford, although still comparatively
young man, had lived long enough to outgrow
in great measure the tastes and tendencies
which bad conferred npon him reputation not
unlike that of Byron's Lord Camelford, or Of
the unparalleled Mr.. Mytton. He was the last
illustrious type of that curious class of aristo-
cratic eccentrics who sought distinction not in
the "cannon's mouth" indeed, but in the
"watchman's rattle;" and by wringing of
door handles and knockers, thrashing trades
men, smashing plate-glass windows and other
riotous practical jokes of the like elevated de-
scription, won worldwide notoriety as noble or
iginals. Nearly twenty years ago Lord Water
ford visited this country in his yacht with some
vivacious friends, and found his way within
night or two after his arrival to the Police station
In this city, for clark" on Broadway. Next day
Mayor Lawrence reprimanded the prisoners,
and punished them With an invitation to din
ner. Boston and Philadelphia were also made
the scenes Of this unwise young lords unwise
achievements, and his career as "gey man"
was finally concluded by severe chastisement,
which he received in Norway, from rugged
old Morse policeman of Drontheim. Lord
Waterford figured conspicuously at that famous
"passage of arms and absurdities," the "Eg-
linton Tournament" ON which occasion he sig
nalized himself by knocking Lord Althorp of
his horse, with a tough, good lance, in place o.
the futile and fragile ash poles prescribed to the
filters, and carried off the prize of Valor to lay
l at the feet of the Queen Of Love and Beauty
the accomplished daughter of Sheridan, Lady
Seymour, now Duchess of Somerset. After hi
marriage with daughter Of Lord Stuart d.
Rothesay, whose arm he contrived to break b.
upsetting her from a ph@ton during the honey
moon, Lord Waterford took to more sensible
courses. In the time of the great Irish famin
of 1847 he showed himself good and eficien
landlord; and of late years he had lived
quiet, respectable life. He is succeeded in hi
title and estates by his brother, the Rev. Lor
John Beresford.-N. Y. Times.

THE bringing in, by SIoKLEs, of his
wife's confession, as a part of his de-
fense-thus putting it in the way Of news
paper publication all over the worlds
an act of meanness of which it would be
difficult to find parallel More than
this, the act is one which, in the eyes of
the discriminating, will have RETROSPECT
tive effect, and place the whole proceed
ing, from the first, in new and-for the
defendant-not very much improved as
pect The homicide, standing by itself,
was miserable enough, and cowardly
enough; but there was a shadow Of excuse
in the real, or supposed, or pretended
sentiments of honor peculiar to the set to
which both parties belonged. Here,
however, is new style Of practice under
the code of the high-toned. This gentle
man, who, during his imprisonment, blub-
bered over his wife and her tergiversa-
tions, protesting his still-enduring love
and tenderness for her in terms that
touched the hearts of all the fast women
and full-stomached clergymen that were
permitted to enter his presence, went to
kill his injurer, armed as well for defense
as for attack-with the evidence of his
wifes shame to accompany his pistols,
Bursting, burning, broiling-a human
volcano in the hight of an eruption-he
still had the discretion to prepare doc
ument to be used on his trial, and get it
properly executed and authenticated, be-
fore he proceeded to acts of inconsiderate
desperation. This is the act of acoward;
and will impart to all the doings of the
principal in the matter an air of un.
mistakable poltroonery.

Another Cuba Excitement.

It is in the recollection of our readers that q
short time ago we published statement from
a French paper, to the effect that filibuster
expedition against Cuba was actually in pro-
gress, which was followed up by another state
ment that vessel had actually sailed from
this port with flibusters on board, destined
for ''the Gem of the Antilles" The statement
was positive, and circumstantial, and was reit
Grated again.
There are many rumors and facts aAoat which
appear to confirm the statements.
In the first place, several Cuban flibusters
have suddenly disappeared from the city, and
nobody can even guess whore they have gone,
unless it be on the expedition in question.
Secondly, there is great excitement among the
merchants here who do business with Havana,
and it is evident they believe "there is some
thing in the wind" Thirdly, the Spanish Con-
suls have sent dispatches to the Captain Gene
raj of Cuba, apprising him of the sailing Of
the expedition; and yesterday they sent further
dispatches, to the same effect, by the Cahawba.
Indeed SO important does the Spanish Minister
consider the matter, that he has come on here
from Washington specially about it, and is now
stopping at the Brevoort House. Lastly the well
known Gen. Goicouria-the head Of the Cuban
| flibusters here-sailed suddenly yesterday, il
said, in the Cahawba, for New Orleans, and
probably for Cuba. He was seen to 60 on board
anu nOJ COule hbuOIo dbblH' ho 10 III Iho huDi
of taking these trips. He goes in our steam
ships into the very harbor of Havana, not ac
tually leaving the vessel, but communicating
on board with parties from shore. So sudden
are his movements that nothing is known o.
them till he has accomplished his object. VIZ
would not be surprised if it should now turr
out that he is on his way to Havana, to maxi
the final arrangements for the descent on thu
Island. Of course "there is many slip" etc
No one of these facts, taken alone, is sufh.
cient to bear out the statements in circulation
but, when combined, they present presump
ton that either there is some truth in tn
original statement, or that the Spaniards ar
very much frightened-perhpas the latter.
In fact, the atmosphere of the counting
\ rooms of the Cuba merchants is rife wit
rumor; and it does not require very kee
sense of smell to scent filibusterism in the all
