CoME OUT AND VorE.--N oiwithstaud.
ing there has been little said or done ia
the canvas now about closiog-and per.
haps there has been less interest attach.
ed 10 il than any which have preceded
it for year.-we hope the full vote o.
Dur parish will be brought out. The
"stay-at-bomes should show their ab.
sent friends that the interests Of The par.
ish shall be cared for ~ selecting the
best mon TO represent those interes's.-
There is DO reason Why the full remain.
ing vote OF the parish should not b.
polIed. Every one . spare the time
70 60 TO the polls, it he have any disp"
sition to vote At VII. Above Ill, VI urge
the necessity Of voting for President, V'ce
Pr sidsut aud Congressman on the Wed
nesday following. OF course the vote
in the C~onfedes.cv must necessarily b.
small owing to the absence Vt those com
posing our armies ; but this fact should
only increase the ardnr of those NJ home
TO poll the entire vote remaining.

1,aE kGnovAL Quxs1ios. So'ase,ow
Or oths, he ssmuyal of the Capita'
seesns toaboa thorn in tie side Of Ger
tais indiv,daaI.. They are never con-
teut-psver satisfied unless astrids Of
their favorite hobby. They use no ar
euinsnt-assign no reasons Why the
Capital .boa'd 10 removed to New Or
lsans. They bel;ve that city to b. the
proper placs, End that j. about the sub
stance Of ali they eas "a 10 its favor
Even now when an attack upon New
Orleans is in contemplation by the Fed
sr.l forces. they again c"Mmrnce their
old cry Of removal. One Of the main
ressops for re'~oI"g the capital to Bat
oo Rouge wssihe fear that in case Of
war, New Orleans might be attacked by
the enemy, and the public records be
destroyed. Let these hobby.riders, aud
their city newspaper echoss. refer back
to the time when The removal was effect
ed, and resd the reasons then given for
the change. II argument Vas good IN
its favor then, it must be doubly 90 now.
But few persons are aware Of the inn
mense debt unfer which our State is
now staggering. Economy must enter
into every department Of our public #
fairs, and every dollar must be csIcula,-
before it j. spent. To hold even the
next session Of the Legislature in New
Orleans will cost at leas. fifty thousand
dollars more than If held in Baton
Rouge, to say nothing Of the great trou-
bio and isconveie"es attending it. But
the fact Of the business is, there is no
necessity for even a temporary removal.
The question is agi.ated BY certain par
ties iu New Orleans Who have boosted
openly that when they got the LegisIat>
urs there, they would control it to their
own advantage. That city .ffords 70
many. facilities for honey-fuggline the
country members into the views Of
scbemers and tricksters which Baton
Rouge does not poss.ss. There they
can Be conducted without fear Of detect
ion o. wen suspicion. and this is the
sole iodu cement for sgita,ing a question
which had better be 1t rest, at leaet for
the present.

hosts, who were busy with boxes and barges
and floats, and cruelty informed them their
labor was over; to home they could hustle and
revel in clover. Not 4 pound should they
sell, not a barrel or cargo, for all was laid
under the s~trictest embargo, and declared that
over to the State they should turn it for none
but Confederate steamers should burn it. At
this dire intelligence al people turned pale,
for there was 70 more coal OF the landing
for sale. The Gas-house is supplied and the
F~oundry's in motion, which ma es Laycock
and Hill rather pleased at the notion. For 4
year they can run without bother OF trouble,
vhile the profits accruing will almost be
double; while one makes the gas to illumine
the places, the other makes brass to relec.
