A PRACTICAL JoKE.--A private correspondent
relates a practical Joke on Western editor, which
will be relished so highly here that we are tempted
to give our readers the benefit Of it, He writes
from Eastvile, Indiana, to the following effect
There are two papers published here-one con-
sentative and the other radical, of course. A few
days ago the radical editor received an anony-
nous contribution in verse, headed Our late
lamented President No name was called but
the loyal editor seeing somewhat darby, through
his own glasses, discovered glowing eulogy on
Abraham Lincoln.
In the enthusiasm Of his loyalty he did not hest
tate to depart from the rule Of all newspapers,
not to publish anonymous communications, and
ascribing the eoncealment of the authors name to
excessive modesty, he gave the verses q conspicu
Gus place in his paper Political feeling here just
now runs high. Before noon the EDITORS sanctum
was thronged with anxious and bewildered faces
of his colleagues and subscribers. They poured in
=" one by twos, - like the animules y in Gideon's
Band to inquire what possessed him to publish an
acrostic on JEFF. Davis.
The perpetrator Cor, as the outraged editor in
the desperation of his frenzy called him, I" the
puppy traitor of this cruel Joke has not been de-
tected, though vigorous search has been made for
him. There is a clever young fellow about town
who, when boy, discovered an incurable propen-
sity for worrying snakes. His favorite pastime
was to pin the heads of the reptiles to the ground
with forked stick, and then, after making them
blind with rage, to thrust their tales into their
mouths. 1t amused his innocent, childish fancy to
see them innoculate themselves with their own
poison. That young fellow is strongly suspected.

An exchange says that Gen. Banks has offere
his sword to drive the invaders out of Mexico
No doubt the French and Austrians would gree
him as a welcome guest, as the Confederates use
to do when he came with his wagon train in tn
van. AS Jackson's commissary and Dick Taylor
quar.ermaster Banks has placed many hungr

The proposed export duty on cotton, whether
two three or five cents, is really to that extent
protective duty in favor of New England manu-
factnrers. Are their interest so paramount that
they should enjoy 81 bonus " at the expense of
the country at large? Who constituted them the
privileged class . among our people? Congress
would do well to pause before imposing such a
tax, and consider whether it may not prove ga

how will it affect the great middle aud Western
States the chief market of cotton goods? They

ings of the bureau in the Atlantic States Yet
the revelations already made are ineonsider-
able in comparison with those which remain
behind They indicate the character of the
system but, by no means, the extent of its
depravity. 1t is unfortunate for the cause Of
justice that, in very many cases, the most APP
palling and atrocious corruptions and malyer-
sations have been SO carefully concealed that
conclusive evidence in regard to them is no
longer accessible. The minds of the COM
missioners have been thoroughly convinced of
the guilt Of parties against whom legal testi-
mony could not be procured, The alarm was
given as soon as the appointment of the COM
missioners was announced, and preparations
were at once made throughout the whole
guard against inquiry. In too many cases these
efforts have been successful. But enough has
been developed to prove the wisdom Of the
President in vetoing the two bills for contin-
uing the freedmens bureau which have passed
Congress during the present session. 1t is to
be hoped that Louisiana will contribute her
share TO the mass of damnatory testimony
which has been collected by the commits
| sioners. So far as General Baird is concerned
we have never heard ought said in his re
proach He has probably done his best to
adapt an intrinsically bad system to the wants
of "a struggling and impoverished community.
But in regard to Mr. Conway, the factie prtn-
cepS Of radicaiism the case is materially differ
ent His adm nisnation offers rich field for
exploration. We understood that Generals
Fullerton and Steadman have made some at
tempt to unyail the mysteries of the Conway
era, but, unhappily, their time is too short to
enable them to penetrate fully into those
arcana of radical corruption, MI. Conway

our citizens who have suffered by the rapacity
and extortion of this radical negrophilist will
come forward and give their testimony at
once, they may do much toward assisting
Generals Steadman and Fullerton in accom-
plishing the objects of their mission.
