MEXICAN AFFAIRS IN PARIs.-Accordinp
to "Malakoff," the Paris correspondent Of
the New York Times, the Impression
prevails in Paris that the temper of the
American Government in relation to Fran
CO. American affairs is quarrelsome; and
the ignorance Of the new French Minister
of American feeling; and the lack of in
ternational etiquette regarding the notifca.
ton Of tie Government at Washington of
the change in the plan for the removal Of
the French troops, are blamed as the cause
of threatening trouble. A great effort is
being made to brifg about a reconciliation
between the Emperor aqd NJ. Drouyn de
LHuys, so as to bring tie latter back to
the Foreign Office, for, Of all the public
men of France, no one knows The whole
ground as he does, and no one give the
same ease Of mind and confidence to the
other members Of the Cabinet as He does.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life at his plantation IN
Bayou Rigolet. on the 4th Of January
1867, JAMES NJ. JONES, in the Gath yeal
Of his age. III,
Mr.. Jones was native of North Carroll.
na, but for. the last forty years has been q
respected citizen Of this Parish. A
He came to this Parish young, poor and
friendless, selected Agriculture as his oc-
cupation, stepped upon the first Spoke Of
the ladder" with industry, honesty and
sobriety for his bannisters, he manfuily de.
termined to do battle, for the temporal re.
wards of life.
Believing in the innate honesty OF tu-
man kind, he was the victim all his life to
his own enlarged ssmpathies. Toll on,
toll ever, was his motto, yet, the first &C
quaintance who came TO him, whose pro-
perty was endangered, by his own impru.
dencc, Mr.. Jones purse or his credit, would
10 offered 70 relieve, without any security
for its future return, and thus the sequel
may be easily guessed.
His life. Of uprightness commanded the
respect of all classes, rich and poor. No
malice towards mortal, was inhumpedin his
grave. As he was merciful to man, may
the Lord God Of Heaven be nerciful to
my friend and receive him into the King
dom OF the righteous. - ~; 80. IS
He leaves a loving wife. and three chill
dren "ip sack cloth and ashes" May their
lamentatiogs be. cohsoled by orr. Father
above, pouring oil upon the troubled waters
Of their hearts, is the prayer Of ole who
deeply condoles with them in their great
affection.

THE DEATH OF VALcouR A1ME.--The
painful announcement OF The death Of this
old and excellent citizen, reached us a. =
moment when the Crescent Office and its
attaches were in the midst Of the usual
New Years festivities. MIR. Anne was so
well known and so much esteemed through
out the State, that the news of his decease
spread q gloom upon our festivities.
Valcotr Aime was one Of the survivors
of that stauhch old generation of creoles
who to the last retained the traditions of
their Galic ancestry chivalrous to the
verge Of romance, brave as the Paladins,
generous to prodigality. We regret ex-
ceedingly to see the "anclen regime so
rapidly passing away.
Mr.. Aime was born of one of the most
ancient and aristocratic Of the old French
families that settled in the territory of
Louisiana. His family connections are
spread throughout the State, and number
such names amongst them as Roman,
Ganucheau, etc. He died at the ripe age
of three score and ten, upon the family
estate, which he had done much to beautify,
and surrounded and scotbed by weeping
relatives and friends.
Generosity and hospitality were never
more beautifully illustrated than by Mr..
Aime amid the yicissitudes and calamities
of the late war. His plantation in St.
James was the synonym of bounty to
hundreds upon hundreds Of fugitives and
sufferers, unknown to him, perhaps, but
who can never cease to cherish his memory,
and to honor his name and his family.

NATURAL REL1GroY.-Come quickly away
with iiie, and We, will walk up and down the
narrow path, by the sweetbrier hedge and
we will listen to the low song of the black
bird, and The fresh air will cool our aching
brows, and weshallfnd comfort. To these
things fresh all and TIE birds song, and the
fragrance Of the lovely flowers, God has
given blessing; like sleep, they are His
medicines--the balm Of sweet minds! We
walk to and fro under the shade Of those
elms, and we will be calm bitter recollec-
tions shall be made sweet by the thought
Of His mercies; and in the midst Of the
sorrows we have in our hearts His comforts
shall refresh our souls !; and our minds shall
be stored with many thoughts, sweet, like
the perfume Of these flowers.

old soldiers who still survive. One has

without glasses. His grandson, Lieut..

m Sumner recently presented bill in
the Senate, to punish persons for inducing
negroes to emigrate to other Countries
Rather than have. any Of his " beautiful
black darlings" leave the country, he would
have them forcibly detained in the United
States, where they have to be fed and
clothed by taxstion imposed Upon the
wnlte population. Why does not some
sane sild patriotic member Of the Senate
Introduce q bill to punish with death any
man who should attempt to prevent Sumner,

Africa, OF any other foreign country they
please?

Opinions About Busted
From the La Crosse Denocrat. !


One Of the platter.brained "loyalists" Oh
this ora OF rump treason aud faDaticism il
Dick Busted, once y third-rate lawyer Of
New York city, prior to that time an in
feriOr type-sticker who hadn't sufficient
brains to earn his living by the tart preser-
vative." Ambitious Of political distinction,
and knowing that he could gain nothing
in that glorious city without being identi.
fed with. tho Democratic party, he for
years claimed to bea virulent Democrat,
and received his share of honors and emolu.
ments at the hauds of the ''rnterrifed" of
the Empire" city. At the breaking out of
the war. however, he assumed the Sloyal"
dodge, and the dead tyrant who delighted
in honoriDg Democratic renegades, at the
first opportunity made him q United States
District Judge for Alabama. Ia that posi-.
ton he has managed to make himself as
odi0us end contemplate Us it was possible
for q man Of his small intellectual calibre
to do. The judicial ermine fits his shout
ders about as we'll as would those ola
natural born idiot-law, reason, common
sense-of these Dick, the Busted, has not q
particle Of knowledge. He is "loyam and
eager to aid his masters in insulting and
tyranizing over the Southern people. In
bis eagerness and anxiety to do as much as
possible of this filthy work he stands with
out rival.
The other day he charged the Grand
Jury of the United States Court at Hunts
vile, Ala, and according to the New York
Tribune he showed that body that it was
their duty to indict rebels who abuse Con.
gress, whether they had been pardoned or
not. He declared that pardon did not
hold good in such cases! But this was not
all. He also took occasion to express the
extra judicial opinion that the terms of the
constitutional amendment were
liberal, just and wise, and to add that be,
Richard, the Busted, would regard it's DC.
csptanco as evidence Of statemanship and
forecast. Prodigious And yet, after this |
announcement, the disloyal Legislature of
that unrecognized portion ofthe late Con-
federacy. actually had the audacity to re-
ject the amendment BY an overwhelming
vote. We don't know what Busted will |
say-how he will take this manifestation
Of contempt for the majesty OF law ~ en-
bodied IN his august person, but it would
be a terrible thing it his rage and chagrin
should SO work III his loyal constitution |
that he should burst an internal flue aud |
mp and die What would become of loyal. |
ty in Alabama-who would fill the gap, |
and become the Elisha to the translated

2 himself: It is not the right time
for him to "kick the bucket" We want

RM. Sumner talks in the Senate Of the
United States continually about "black
loyalty," Not. often in the whole course
Of His perhieioas life has be been SO nearly
right; for loyalty is black, as black as a
negro's face, and as black as Satan's heart.
1t is a thing which no Christian should
tolerate, and which every white man should
be ashamed Of Loyalty is now not a whit
less reasonable, but it is q good deal dir
tier than it was during our revolutionary
struggle for freedom. Loyalty then was

bay There are almost as many divorces
as marriages in Vermont. The legally
sufficient grounds for divorce are adultery,
sentence to confinement in the State Prison
for three years or more, intolerable severity,
wilful desertion tor three years, absence for
seven years and not heard of during the
time, and gross neglect and cruel refusal Of
the husband to provide suitable maintenance

high normal management which have pro

duced such almost miraculous results.
The same is true of the intellectual and
moral powers and receptivity of the African
From the Rio Grande to the waters of the
Susquehannah, the African speaks the
English tongue with greater accuracy, ease
and perspicuity than does any entire peas
ant class their veruacular language, in any
one OF the Caucasion nations beyond the
seas. And yet men, American citizens
who know that England is not on the Am.
erlcan continent, and have learned that it is
offensive to God to bear false witness
against our neighbor," and even men pro-
tossing goodness, are found who are suffi-
Gently unrefecting and blinded by preiu-
dice to publish to the world, in full views
OF all the comparative indemnity thus be-
slowed upon the race, that we robbed the
African OF his wages, oppressed him in his
labor, and so wronged him, as to justify the
world in taking up arms to secure his
emancipation.
But the past is irrevocable. African
slavery can never exist again on this con-
tinent. The South will not allow it. The
hoops have been violently wrenched from
the barrel by bayonets. When its history
is written in the year A. D. 1890, the wis
dom and the benevolence Of the unbooping
can be better judged of than at present
We now must consider what is due to our
selves in the altered condition of our do
nestle affairs. And viewing their past and
their future, what is due to the eolored
people among US.
