the taxing of the raw material While Others
suggested higher rates on segars.
Mr. Hanson thought the Tax laws oppressive
on the manufacturers. The changes in the law
had compelled him four times to discharge MS
hands, as there was no employment for them
The consequence was that these men manu-
factured segars at their homes, and could sell
them cheaper than the manufacturers, because
these journeymen did not have to pay any ex-

elected be instructed to advocate the nXlng oil

The QUESTION SETTLED.-T h Q
great decision of Judge Thornton,
so-called, knocking creation int o
chaos, and abrogating the Constitu-
ton and laws of Texas, has been
pronounced by the military author
ity assy foolsy, and, We conclude,
the courts elsewhere will go on as
usual, and that the convicted felons
in the Penitentiary will'no be tur-
ned loose to vote the radical ticket
and aid in reconstruction. The ap-
pointment of five new Judges, So
called, which number is only known
to the present Constitution, settles
the question so far rs the military
are concerned. The Military
Judges must conform to the militia
nv decision. The laws of Texas
must therefore be regarded, until
set aside by. military orders. The
Attorney General and Comptroller,
So called, not being in accordance
with the military authorities, should
now resign Gas impediments to re-
construction" and from tho r
-"known hostility to the General
Government" Gov. Peases' cabi-
net should be a unit. They will be
in bis way. and obstruct very much
the public business. Bnt we are
fearful they will, like Stanton, hold
on desperately, and wait to be kick
ed out. Their appetite for 'loaves
and fishes" is so strong, they will
continue to resist the military will
and harrass Gov. Pease as long as
possible. How are the Treasurer
and Commissioner of the Land Of
fee on this question? Their ire
ticence" must be annoying to the
Republican. Had not the Maj. bet

show their hands? Or is he too

Our New Naval Station.

We have published an account OF
the purchase by our Government of
the harbor Of SANTANA for a United
States naval station. The additional
particulars, below. VIC take from the
New York Herald:
1.-THE territory which has now be-
come the property Of the United
States has been the subject of nego-
tiations for several years past. The
bay of SANTANA is situated on the
south side of the peninsula of the
same name, and is from east to west
about 43 miles long, by eight miles
wido. The Yuma-the largest river
in st. Domingo -cmpties itself at
the western end. The bay forms
ono of the largest and safest harbors
in tho world, aHd, from its position
ia rcicrcace to the Gulf of Mexico
trgIe and the routes across Central
America may be regarded as being
the most important point, in amili'
tary and commercial view, in that
portion of the continent. On its
northern shore and lying in the
light of a land locked bay is the
small and diIapidated town of Santa
Barbara, which is probably included
in the purchase. The entrance to
the bay is about three miles wide,
and can be easily defended by hcaTy
batteries located on both shores
Of the capacity Of the harbor il
need only be said no feet could be
gathered within it large enough to
take up it's space, so that, either
from the weather or from an enemy
our commercial and war navy can
always find place of certain safety.
"In political point of view the
possession of the Bay of SANTANA by
the United States is ofgrcat impor-
lance. II gives us powerful and
controlling position in the Antilles
and Gulf of Mexico, and should this
question be followed by the purchase
uf the island of st. Thomas we will
become the prcponderating power
in the archipelago, and the actual
arbiters of the dcstinics of all the
islands which comprise 1T. That
European powers have always
recognized this fact is certain, as,
according to the Opinion Rationale,
at Paris, the attempt to get posses
sion of it several years ago was BAT.
feel by the French Consul General
at Port al Prince. The same paper,
under date of February IA, 1867, in
referring to the visit of Mr.. Friedrich
Seward TO st. Domingo, declared
that the acquisition OF the Bay Of
SANTANA by the United States could
not fail 70 become a cause OF just
di.pate TO France, Spain. England
and the republic Of Hayu." And,
90 tar as Spain and Hayti are con
serned, its occupation by us would
almost ensure onr success in case OF
, war with either Of those govern
ments, commanding as il Goes Hsyt
and Cuba on one side and Porto
Esco on the other. Should We sue
eesd in getting possession OF 81
Thomas, then we would completely
BEN in Jamaica and command the
French Antilles ISLANDS.

The (ShreveporD South Western,
n paper which has, until recently,
urged the acceptance of the Radical
plan of reconstruction, now assumes
different position, indicated in the
following:
We have purposcly avoided al
luding to this subject for the cogent
reason that, so far as the people of
Louisiana are concerned, all the ar
gument that could be adduced would
not materially vary the result. The
largo majority OF blacks who have
registered will vote en- masse for a
convention, which renders it futile
on the part of the whites to make
any effort to defeat the convention.
Otherwise we should use our utmost
endeavors to prevail upon our peo
pie to oppose convention. We are
free to say that this was not our
opinion in the beginning of the
W rk of reconstruction. At first
we thought Congress was in earnest
in proposing to the people of the
South that they should put their
shoulders to the reconstruction wa
gon and help it out of the miro.
With this understanding we recon-
mended that our people accept in
good faith the reconstruction bills,
and do as Congress directed. Since
thattime Congress has shown its
hand, and, beyond doubt, had no
idea of reconstructing the Union
with the aid of the masses of the
Southern whites. Their plan was,
from the first, to ignore us, and to
reorganise the excluded st "a te
through the sole agency of their
military chieftains and the negroes.
As We said before, we are powerless
in this State to influence the result
one way or tho other, but will our
people give a willing consent to
what is being done for us? Shall
we co operate in the Infamous work
of Africanising our State, and thus
give our sanction to this diabolical
scheme, to be plead against us in
the future by our worst enemies,
who have decreed it? This is the
question in nut shell. Will oul
people so far forget the dictates Of
duty to themselves, to p0sterity and
to their country, as to lend he!p.
ing hand to brand themselves with
this infss.1ny? We think not.
