merely to look upon or inspect our acts, but to
judge them. His justice claims this. Then,
200, we may know it from His word No lesson
IS more fully taught in the Scriptures. God is
not man, that He should lie, therefore He will
judge us.
Here, too, is fair warning upon the COM
peteness OF the judgment. For ''db these things
God will Judge us. Not alone for the chief
events, but tor all events, however slight hoH
ever secret, however shameful.
The Judge ascends the awful throne;
lie makes each secret sin be known,
And all, with shame, confess their own"
But further, there is here fair warning. upon
the personal character of the judgment. Know
thou, says the Preacher to the Young man God
will bring thee into judgment. Though sur.
rounded by myrlads Of mankind, upon thee
siDgly must the searching eye be set; upon thee
singly must fall the cheering plaudit or the
withering curse.
And other warnings are really included here.
for example, these words warn you that YOU are
free. -"Rejoice, o young man, You can; You
are free. Let they heart cheer thee" You
may; you are free. "And walk in the WAYS of
thine heart, and in the sight of thine eye.p
This you may do also. Thus do all we stand
free TO sin, free to follow Christ
Here, too, are we warned upon the suf5oiency
OF Tefgious opportunity. Surely the young man
OF our text was not so addressed except as an
extreme appeal. He must have beard enough
TO turn him; but, hearing not, pleadings follow,
and, finally, the fair but solemn warning of our
text Young friend, heed these words OF warn
iDg-abandon the alluring paths of seldshness
and sin. Real enjoyment heavenly pleasure
is touno alone in Christ. He can cheer thee in
life, sustain thee in death, vindicate thee in the
judgment, bless thee forever.

The STATE VS.. The LOUISIANA
STATE BANK.-Judge Theard has de-
livered a very elaborate opinion, which
would till about seven columns of our
paper, in the above entitled case.
The judgment is in favor of the
bank on all questions at issue. She
is recognized as owner of the 1852
bales of cotton, which were the object
Of the controversy ; and for this,
Judge Theard decides that the bonds
issued by the State in 1862 are valid.
The bank has in her possession over
a million of dollars of these bonds,
exclusive of the accrued interest.
which she is authorized by the court
to oppose in compensation to the claim
Of the State for $462, 900.
The claim of Gen. Bailey, who pre-
tended to be the owner of $500 bales
of this cotton, is rejected with costs,
as being unfounded in law or in fact.
The validity OF the bonds issued in
1862 is based upon the fact that they
were issued and negotiated for the
wants and necessities Of the State,
and not for war purposes. This de-
cision authorizes the other banks of
this city to claim from the Legisla-
ture the payment of the bonds which
they hold.
The questions of the validity of
Confederate notes, Of the character of
the Confederate States Government as
a Government de taoto, of the right of
capture as springiDg from the jus bezlii,
are also deliberately treated.-New

une of war. How this is to be done
is a question for those who are most
affected by it. But it cannot be
done by putting forward the leaders
Of the rebellion; by Legislation which
discriminates against the blacks; by
various other circumstances which
we might specify. We can say this,
we hope, without being misunder-
stood. We say it while denouncing
the state Of feeling which refuses to
be true to the fundamental idea of
our institutions-self- government
because applied to rebels. We say
it while despising the demagogues
who have betrayed the nation into a
violation of its plighted faith. We
say it while mourning over the
national want of magnanimity which
permits Congress to impose unworthy
exactions upon vanquished people,
and while insisting that the Consti-
tuition in all its integrity should be
applied to every citizen, no matter
what his antecedents, who in good
faith recognizes its supremacy and
obeys the laws made in pursuance
thereof. But the North to-day is
very much in the position of the
Frenchman with his deposit in a
bank, about which there were dam
aging rumors: "If you got him [ no
want him, but if you no got him l
want him."

IMPROVEMENT IN SUGAR MAKING.
MIR. John Pattison and Col. ID. s.
Cage, Of Terrebonne Parish, are the
owners Of a patent for applying the
fumes of sulphur to sugar making,
on plan which has proved, this
year and last, eminently successful.
We have seen sugar made by this
process in several sugar houses this
year, which are the finest specimens
of that kind OF Louisiana sugar we
have ever seen. And the fact that
this sugar brings two cents per pound
in the market more than other sugar
not made by this process, proves the
value Of the invention. 1t throws
the bi-sulphite of lime completely
into the shade. We believe no one
in Terrebonne Parish where this
process is used pretends to question
its superior advantages. Messrs Pat
tison & Cage will have machines
manufactured somewhere on the Ope-
lousas railroad next season, and will
be prepared to put them up on all the
plantations in St. Mary and other
parishes where they are wanted.
