PARALLEL.-When the British landed to
attack New Orleans, Tin the war of 1922 the
people In their conformation besou2 ht the Louis
lana Legislature, then In session In that city, to
aid Jaekson's measures for defense by taking GER
tain necessary Legislative action. They besought
IN vain, however. The patriots controlling the
body had more important work in hand just then
the holly contested election Of a doorkeeper,
They, however, promised to get right to work
for the city's defence IS that business was
concluded When the British had got half way
across Lake FOnchartrain, another such appeal
was made to them; but found them more deeply
immersed in the more important business than
before. And they continued immersed in the cleo
zion Of their deorkeeper until the British cannon so
tRundered around their very ears, as that they
broke up their session in fright, and sought per-
sonal safety, of course In flight
We are forcibly reminded of this bit of well
remembered history, by the fact that though a
month In session, the House Of Representatives
Of the United States, whose first duty in connec-
tion with the wer Is to enable the executive
branch Of the government to raise the money
necessary TO pay Its expenses have cast that obl-
CATION behind their backs-in falling promptly
TO enact the necessary tax bills to sustain the Gov
ernment's credit-to devote themselves to the
Interest Of the eternal NEGRO, to manufacture bun
combe capital at home for their personal advan-
tage, and to Crafty their ever prevailing passion
Of pitching into" any and every thing, by pick.
Ing holes In the actions Of those who are serving
their country effectively in the field and the Cab
met, and thus embarrassing the latters patriotic
efficiency, beyond measure.
Verify, the spirit Of the Louisiana Legislature
OF ffty years ago still lives on the earth, and
hourishes In Washington.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20 - The Richmond
Wing OF the Goth contains an editorial on the
affairs in Kentucky; This retrograde move
ment baa profoundly disappointed and mortified
our people, and dashed the fond hopes they>had
formed of liberating Kentucky and Tennessee.
We had reasonably expected from Brsgg's
magnificent army something more than mere
incursion to the neighborhood Of the Ohio river.
We had anticipated something more than boast
full orders and sounding prOcIamatons. We
had formed exalted hopes Of the great expedl.
ton which he led nearly up to Louisville. His
long delay at Tupelo, his besitancy at Chatta-
nooga, his tardy advance into Kentucky, had
shaken the public confidence, but few were
willing to condemn 80 long as On opportunity
remained for the contamination of the grand
objects of the campaign. Il is all over row
