/ Tue ACQUISITION OF t*UBA.~-The desire
conceded that it would b. strange to find an
individual SO far behind the age, as to ques-
tlos either its policy or justice; yet it appears
from the resolutions Of Gen. HARPER intro
, duced ia the House on Wednesday last, and
which vii! be found below, doubts are en-
tertained by ONE that our Senators and Rep
resantatives in Congress are either opposed
to the py2jet or negligent in urging the mat
ter. We say this anpears for we cannot
, imagine that the very practical member from
! Frunklin would make an unnecessary move.
our Senators and Representatives were zeal
onsly in favor et the acquisition of CUBA . by
purchase or othertoisc,' the resolutions can
only be regarded as an ob|iqle intimation that
some Of our delegation are, as we said, either
opposed to the measure or not sufficiently
jealous. This opinion is strengthened by a
conviction with us that the me -ober from
Franklin is to, modest ever to offer bnnconb
resolutions. What a pity that members of
the Legislature uX devote So much OF the
peoples precious time in attending to " Fed
eraI Relations,n with which they have no
power to act, instead OF faithfully attending
to those duties coniiied to them and upon
which they have an unquestioned right to
act. Here are the resolutions
WHEREAS the Island Of Cuba is. by it's geo.
graphical position, an aprendage of the
Southern Atlantic coast, and by its prox-
unity, is The key to the Mississippi River,
as we'll as Of the Gulf OF Mexico, therefore,
Be it Resoired blythe Senate ard House of Rep
ressniatires Of The State Of Louisiana, in Gene
raj assembly convsned, That the acquisition of
the Island Of Cuba is deemed, by this Legis-
latnre, a political necessity, and that our Sem
ators be instructed and our Representatives
in Congress, be requested to use their efforts
for the accomplishment If said acquisition,
by purchase or otherwise.

NV YORK. MERCHANTS AND THE TARIFF
The New York correspondent of the Ph1la-
delPhia Ledger says:
Importers and merchants here are greatly
pe%rplexed with THE rumors from WASHINGTON
relative to the tariff. Under the impression
that the duties upon certain Articles would be
raised, some heavy orders have been sent
from here dnring The past fortnight, which
would not have been forwarded but for the
belief that that impression would be realized.
AS 1t IS too late to countermand all of these
orders the result will be a supply of certain
descriptions OF merchandise next summer, for
which there will be no market. ~

The pet Tribune project Of dsrkey

to receive its disquieting refutation
in Hayti. All is in as utter confu-
sion under the ",mproved state Of

all iron strength, which only melted
under the heat of revolution. The
State is virtually in = state of siege,

THE TRUE SYSTEM OF ADVERT
s,NG.-An exchange discusses aques-
ton Of interest to business men, as to
the method Of advertising. The cir
culars, bills, ETC., are conceded, but it
is held that the handful, to be con-
veyed about by men, or to be sent
into the country, is not the best vehi
Gle for advertising for merchants
Let them use the newspaper. The
newspaper is circulated without anv
expense whatever to the advertiser.
which is by no means an unimportant
item, as every one will testify who
has had any experience in distribu-
ting his own advertisements. Not
only is the advertisement circulated
by the newspaper free of all expense
but it is done more speedily and tho
roughly than it can be done by the
advertiser. The newspaper is already
an established system; a thousand
doors are opened to welcome it a
thousand messengers are daily and
weekly seeking the post Office to re-
ceive it y thousand families look f,r
its coming, and q thousand read ii
when it does come. Again: those
who read the newspapers are the We
~ persons the advertiser wishes to
reach; they are the intelligent and
we'll to do; the enterprising citizens
Of country, and are therefore the
most likely to buy that which is worth
buying.-C Cincinnati Press.

A BLACK RKcoRD.-An Orleans
paper thus puts it 1--WE have often

would not scruple at an attempt to
null'fy its provisions, even if the At.
tempt We're like to end in the disrup.
ton Of Of the Union. Here ia omen
proof that such reasonable sentiment.
are common with them :" At the Re.
publican Convention on Saturday a
petition was circulated praying the
Legislature to enact law providing
that No person who has been held q
slave shall be delivered up by anv
officer or Court, State or Federal
within this State, to any person claim
ing him on the ground that said slave
owes him service or labor. This
petition was signed by every nominee,
except John w. Graves. Every
man who signs it asks the State to
place itself in opposition to the Fed

D1oN'T KNOW HER NAME. = A
good looking young German appear
ed at Squire Hetlick's Office yester..
day morning and requested his to
boost him into that eclspot-Matri-
mony. Finding he had no certificate
the Squire sent him to the County
Clerks office, whereupon the Clerk
sent him into the Treasurer's Office to
pay his dollar aud get the receipt
Here the clerk asked him the lady 3
name, aud after q moments study he
said he did not knoac j! Being in
formed that this was requisite, he
starated off and 10 about an hou'
came back with the necessary infor-
matian. The certificate was then is
sued, and soon after Squire II. sent
them their way rejoicing.
Upon enquiry it turned out that
the lady had been recommended to
him as wife, and that although he
had visited her several times in the
capacity Of sutton, he had never
thought to ask her name, and was
entirely ignorent Of it up to the mo-
ment Of his application for certifi-
cate.
