between Mayor Monroe and Surgeon Harris
q. s. Al, on The subject af insane people Of
color,
The interest taken by the military au-
thorities IL these unfortunate people, il very
commendable; SO far as this city ii concerned,
the affairs Of the freedmen's q bureau are in
good hands. There is more Of practical be-
neTolence in this solicitude for a class Of IN
happy beings who are not able to take care of
themselves, Than insall tie pretended anxiety
Of the radicals for the welfare Of people who
are amply protected, in all their rights and
interests, By the society il which they live
Mayor Monroe's answer to the communities
zion addressed to him by Surgeon Harris,
ought to 81 entirely satisfactory to the officers
Of the bureau. 1t shows that no diserimina-
tion is made among insane persons on ac-
count Of color 81 nationality. The State en-
sIeavors to provide for all who are not other
wise cared for. It il 10 be regretted, however,
That TIE military authorities rstain possession
ofthe apartments ii the Parish Prison formerly
ropriated % the aecommo odation Of the in-
aane. AS long as these apartments are re-
tanned by the United States authorities, there
must be much unavoidable embarrassment in
The disposal of these untortunates, and much
discomfort must be inflicted on them. For
naerlg, two hundred could be provided with
accommodations, The building which the
city has been compelled to take, il lisu Of its
old quarters is overerowded by eighty
natients
Mayor Monroe called this fact to the atten-
lion of General Baird, several months ago.
and that officer promised that the apartments
an the Parish Prison should be given up to the
city This, however, has noe yet been done
Since General Sheridans attention has been
called to che subject We trust that he will see
the propriety Of making the restitution as
Hguickly as possible

ENGLISH VS.. LAT1N.-Once upon a
time company was assembled at dim
ner table at hotel down in Georgia,
when the conversation turned upon the
comparative merits of the English and
Latin languages. A Latinist led off in
enthusiastic eulogies upon the power and
versatility of his filverite language, and
adduced in illustration the celebrated dis
patch of Cesar" Veni, vidi, vic" !"
WHAT" exclaimed he, "can equal the
condensed brevity and force of that 2"
A guest who had hitherto remained ST.
lent, here joined in the conversation, and
said he could match it with something

the other day." he went on to observe,

An English writer says: "A good editor, o
competent newspaper conductor, is like general
or poet, born, not made. Exercise and expert
ence give facility, but the qualification is innate
or it is never manifested. On the London daily
papers all the great historians, novelists, poets,
essayists, and the writer's of travels, have been
tried, and nearly every one has failed. Il can, ,
said the late editor of the London 7snes 'ind any
number of men of genius to write for me, but very
seldom one man of! common sense Nearly all
successful editors are of this description. good
editor seldom writes much for his paper-he reads,
judges, Selects dictates, alters, and combines and
to do all this we'll he has but little time for compo-
sition. To write for paper is one thing-to edit
paper is another
