Death of Samuel sLolsseld, senior.

IL ia with no ordinary emotions Of
sorrow that we are called TO record the
demise of one OF our oldest and beat oiti-
gems. Samuel skolleld, Senior, is no
more Clasped in the cold embrace OF
Death, he has gone to his long home,
full OF years and with the honors Of a
well-spent, useful life oncircling his good
name.
Mr.. Skolfleld had attained his seven
n tieth year. He was native of the parish
of Iberville, and had resided nearly the
whole Of his lifetime in Baton Rouge.
During the earlier periods of his life he
was merchant, and as far back "a 1898,
was an able member of our City Council -
mis- colleagues in that body being Charles
Hubbs, Leon Bonneoaze and Michael
Brauigan. Hubbs and Brsnigan have
long been resting in their graves, az has
also William Grivot, who was the Mayor
of Baton Rouge in the year above mem
toned.
Mr. Sheffield was called by his fellow
citizens to FIJI successively various other
public offices, such IA City Treasurer
and Parish Recorder duties of each of
which he performed in n manner fully
justfyiDg the high con fdence reposed by
his fellow citizens In his capacity aud
integrity.
OF kind, gentle and unobtrusivs ma
ture, he made himself endeared to every
ono who came in personal or business con-
tact with him. He was eminently honor
able, careful and correct in all his business
and personal relations, and bore lifes
burdens and trials with remarkable
serenity and patience. lie leaves no dark
record of the past to ovsrshadow his
goodly name, and like the weary pilgrim
in search of rest, latter travelling LIES
dreary desert o'er,n has parted the moor
ings of Time and launched his bark on
the broad sea beyond in quest Of that
blissful reward promised to the pure in
heart.
Hia surviving family, consisting OF
widow and several sons and daughters.
besides numerous other relatives and
very large circle of friends, are left to
mourn his departure from their midst.

PREACHERS AND poIITICs---Th

PREACHERS AND PoLITICs.--The
Richmond Republic has the follow
ing sensible paragraph:
The religious teachers of the coun.
try ought never, at any time, to have
meddled with politics, 1t is sub
ject that not only does not belong to
their vocation, but is Numerically
opposed to it. War itself is scarcely
more foreign to the sentiments Of
christianity. or to the performances
of its duties. Il isa subject more
over, OF which the clergy, as a gen.
eral rule, know absolutely nothing.
Their studies have been ofan on.
tirely different kind. If they have
ever found time to make themselves
such masters of politics, as to be able
to preach them from the pulpit, they
must have neglected proper attention
to their own profession, and ought to
abandon the pulpit for more con-
genial arena. The apostles and
primitive preachers of christianity
had nothing to do with politics, ex-
cept to epjoin subjects to be obedi-
ent to their government from a prin-
ciple of religious duty. They en-.
deavored to make men live in peace
is the essence of the gospel which
they were commissioned to proclaim,
and unity the sign whereby the
great founder of christianity de-
clared that the world should know
hat lie had sent them.

GEN. w. w. w. WooD AND
BRAZrL.-Gen. Wood, who made a
flying trip to Brazil on immigrant
business and was received in that
country with such aattering demon
stations from the authorities, re-
Gently returned to this country, and
has delivered several lectures in
public places on the character and
result of his observations. The
Vicksburg people were treated to
one OF the Generals lectures a few
nights since. From what we find
concerning it in the Herald of that
city, it is plain that the editor of that
journal was not so favorably inn
pressed with the themes of the dis
course, as to be prompted to start
instanter with bag and baggage for
the proueed land in the far off
tropics. Hear him:
Gen. Woods lecture on Brazil,
on Thursday night, was delivered to
an audience which might more ap-
propriately be called select than
large. He expatiated on the beau
ties, novelties, &c, of that country
as well as the advantages to be de-
rived from going there to settle. We
saw no great inducement, in all of it,
however, to encourage any sensible
person to leave land of liberty for
the smallest specimen of an empire
in the known world. That the En-
peror of Brazil should exhibit great
desire to fill up his territory with the
brave and good Of our country, we
are not surprised. There is not an
eifete monarch, ranging from bar
barian to civilized, that would not
like to introduce such an element
Of ehlig htenment into his kingdom.
There is no reason to believe our
people would be as well satisfied
there as here. Revolutionists are
never satisfied with any government.
But rebellion in a monarchy is fol-
lowed by speedy hanging, while
amnesty follows in our more en-
lightened Republic, Better let well
enough alone. At the very worst,
you can feel in America that you
are the equal of the grandest. In
Brazil, you hnooo you are not. In
America, your children are born free,
and can aspire to the highest place.
In a monarchy, they are born slaves,
and can never be more.

70 Reeve was in the habit of
taking great liberties with his audi
ence-he would interpolate dread
fully; nay, when he forgot his own
part he would coolly improvisatrise
bis share Of the dialogue, without
the slightest reference to his brother
performers. On one occasion he was
acting as lover to Mrs. Fitzwilliams,
who was plump little actress, in a
scene where she holds out her hand
to Reeve, with the speech, "Can you
refuse anything to your Pauline :
Reeve, looking at her plump hand,

sharp darkie, well formed, rather
graceful, and entirely ready. On
the occasion to which we allude, he
spoke in Independence Square, in
Philadelphia. His harangue was vi

of the outrages practiced upon the
slave by his master, and brought a
very decided effect upon the crowd.

vantage at the flood, and went higher

neglect OF deAeftion of the laboring forces
which. Judging from the experience of oil
other countries, is more likely to occur
than not, and reduce the crop to ! 900 900
or 1900 600 bales.
No account il taken in the calculation OF
the application of white labor to cotton,
beyond what was applied to 1t before the
war. The extensive mortality of the war
has made white labor at the South very
scarce, and 40 far IL ia absorbed 10 the
necessary pursuits of the mechanic arts and
trade, which have been furnishing most
lucrative employment. The wear and tear
and ffightf0l destruction caused by the
war, opened other channels Of employ
ment besides agriculture.
The increase of white labor at the South,
40 FIR an tho next crop Ia concerned, from
Immigration, Ia too trihing to DO taken
into account. The aggregate number of
laborers introduced liz insignificant, and
so far Ia largely absorbed In the cities, etc.
. These are our views, and we are willing
to stand by them.
Future years of emancipation may, aud
doubtless will, produce vastly improved
results. Certainly the field is a wide one,
and is open to enterprise and capital. We
are among the hopeful. f,-=5ztz
MUNICIPAL Affairs IN New Or
bEANs.-An order has been issued
by Major Gen. Candy suspending
from the exercise of their municipal
functions John L. Monroe, Esq, and
Col. JAS. o. Nixon-the former the
newly elected Mayor, and the latter
one of the newly elected Aldermen
of the city. The order is based up
on the exceptional clause mentioned
in the Presidents Proclamation of
Amnesty. 1t is contended that
neither of those gentlemen received
q special pardon under said Procla-
nation, and that until they have, they
are debaued from exercising their
respective official functions. They
are allowed, however, TO take the
oath of office, and the Mayor elect
to administer the usual oath to the
remaining persons elected.
A special order from the same com.
mander appoints j. Ad. Rozier, Esq,
to act as Mayor pro tenn, until Presi-
dent johnson shall have investiga-
ted and decided upon the alleged in
Of Mr.. Monroe. The case
of Col. Nixon will also of course, be
decided upon at the same time.
Meanwhile, the Board of Aldermen
have met and elected Col. Nixon as
President. and Alex. Walker, Esq,
as Secretary Of that body; and
Mayor Rozier is busy organizing the
police, the clerkships, etc.
