to take the drops of happiness as God

day, it concurred in the Joint resolu.
ton of the Senate rejecting the pro-
posed amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution. In thus disposing of this
question the Legislature of Louisiana
has only followed the example set by
the other Southern States. The una

pugnance entertained by the people for

TO the Editors Of the jackson Clarion;
I am pleased to see in to-day's issue Of
your paper, an editorial under the head ol
Immigration aud Labor" agree with
you, in your assertion that "immigration is
the only salvation of the Southern States =
What has given wealth and power to the
Western States 2--the answer is plain. IL is
foreign immigration, which has opened up
the wealth and developed the resources OF
that country. Have those States which are
wealth, and agricultural resources-any
advantages in the way of climate, soil, &c 2
Most assuredly not but on the contrary.
we can produce double the value from our
soil, which the same number of acres will
yield in Illinois or any of the Western
States. They may excel MS in the produc-
tion of small grain, but ON the other hand
our climate and soil will produce more
valuable productions which cannot be
grown in more northern latitude.
The natural and. mineral resources of the
South, are also, certainly as great as that of
the Western States, and our geographical
position, with numerous navigable streams,
railroad communication and nearness to the
sea, gives us many advantages over our
Western neIghbors. In view fthese things,
! would suggest that some of our talented
and practical members of the present Legis-
lature, get up n bill to encourage immigra-
tion and protect tho industrial and pro-
dncing class of our people. would also
s.A Al,ak L.. NIL
deter immigration, and that direct taxation
upon the products of our soil, will cause the
immigrant to seek other fields for his invest
ment and labor.
We should throw aside oil local prejudice
and give ample and sure protection to all
immigrants who may come among us to
invest their capital and become citiSens-let
them come from Whatsoever country they
may. r.

General Thomas urges the following
plan enforcing the laws in the late
Confederate States. Instead of set
ting present government aside let the
national authorities appoint com
mission ofloyal persons, armed with
Judicial powers, to try all cases which
arise between loyal men and rebels,
and make of the military posse to
enforce the authority of the Courts.
The object of Mr.. Bingham's bill, al
ready noticed, is to legalize the latter
part of the plan.

REpuBLrcAN TREASON. The Cincin-
natl Commercial, a loyal paper, is re-
sponsiblc for the following ssSenator
Fessenden has uttered reasonable
remark. He said, the other day, in
the Senate house itself, that though he
had great respect for the manufactur-
ers of the country, he would tell the
Senate now that from the testimony
before the committee, from oil he and
that committee knew, it would not do
to leave the formation of the tariff to
the manufactures 1t is surprising
that Mr. Sprague, of Rhode Island
who has been so impoverished by the
investment of his capital in manu-
featuring, that he is not worth more
than seven or eight millions Of dol
lars, did not rise in his place and re-
buke Mr.. Fessenden.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Times says : A citizen of New
York, who has his Office in Wall street,
New York, has issued confidential
circular to National Banks, proposing
to come to Washington and lobby for
them, if they will contribute at the
rate of 81 on each $1,000 of their cir
culation and his expenses. If all the
banks could be persuaded to join in
such arrangement it would yield him
the snug little sum of 100000. Ma
tional Banks should beware of all such
benevolent offers which are made de-
pendent on trifling assessment upon
their capital or circulation.

THE RAILRoAD TAx-In an article
on the railroad tax, the Goodman Star
says:
Such a law is contrary to sound
public policy, and should no longer
cumber the statute book of our State.
Our railroads should meet with all
necessary encouragement; they are a
public blessing-the peoples high
ways, and we trustour Legislators have
too clear conception Of the right to
refuse the plea of the memoralists.
No other interest in the State suffered
more than that Of our railroads. They
were bnilt at heavy cost, and had
just got fairly under headway when the
war burst upon, the country with the

before the storm that nothing can re.

would envince an illiberality unparal-
lelled to insist upon their paying a tax,
which would go far to crush their en-
