REPLY OF JUDGE LEWIS.

thank you, gentlemen. for your kind
words of approval of my official conduct
During the brief period of my official in
tercourse with you, it has afforded me
much qualification to find uniform spi-
rit Of courtesy and Kindness manifested
in your intercourse with one another,
and with me as the presiding officer of
your Court. Nothing has occurred in
our intercourse, either official or social,
to mar the harmony whick should al
ways exist between members of an hon
orable profession, beyond the small rip
pie which, like that occasioned by the
passing breeze on the bosom of the pla-
cid water, will occasionally happen in
the intercourse of men, in all relations
of life. To acknowledge that L have
often erred in my decisions, is only a
confession of the weakness of human
nature. claim no exemption from the
errors or frailties of man, but do claim
to have been actuated by uniform de-
sire TO do strict and impartial Justice.
In retiring from official intercourse with
you, my brethren of the Bar, l ask no
higher reward than the approval of my
official conduct conveyed in your fiatter-
ing address.
We must soon part, and this saddens
my heart. The future of our country is
dark and portentious, the scenes now
enacting around us give warning of a
coming storm in the political world
which may sweep away the little we
have left of civil liberty, and now in
saying farewell, [ can only express the
sincere hope and ardent prayer that we
may meet again under more favorable
auspices and with q brighter future for
our downtroddcn country.

HOLDING CoTroN-Once or twice,
says the South Western, we have spoken
of the impolitic measure of holding back
cotton to avoid the payment of the tax.
Talk on Change, of the New Orleans
Times, takes the same view of the case
that we do. He says;
We repent that the project cannot be
carried out. All cotton on hand grown
previous to 1868 is liable for the tax,
1t cannot be concealed. To attempt to
evade the tax will subject the cotton to
seizure and expense. Every bale of cot
ton in gin-hQuse or warehouse than the
growth of 1868, will be watched, the
owner marked by the hundreds of detec-
tives and vultures who will be prospect
ing as it were through the country after
the repeal of the tax goes into effect.

GRATIFYING.-Oneo of the most graft
flying items of news to the public gener-
ally which has flashed. over the cable in
a long time is the safety OF Dr. Living
stone, the great african explorer. At
last accounts he was at Zanzibar, on the
coast of Africa, en- route for England.
Doubtless in few weeks the world will
be furnished with the particulars of a
journey through the wilds of Africa, the
most remarkable ever made by mortal
man.

The Election.

The election throughout this parish
last Friday and Saturday. off
without and serious disturbance. At
this place business was entirely suspen-
ded and our town wore the solemn as
pect of a conquered city-rather than a
political jubilee; forcibly reminding one
of the day, some three years since, when
the Federal troops marched down Front
street to the Court House-groups of
citizens and captive soldiers were seen
mournfully talking over our sad misfor-
tunes, and anyiously listening for some
word of consolation or hope, knowing
that that the last spark of the existence
of separate nationality was then ex-
t1nct forever;-hoping and earnestly
praying for the best, but little dreaming
taat such a state of things as we have,
and are now daily witnessing, would
ever come to pass. Acknowledging
that we. were under the foot of the con-
queror, we expressed our willingness to
accept, without compulsion, our fate,
believing that with the surrender of our
arms. the war was ended, that the
Union would speedily be restored, peace
and plenty smile throughout the land,
the wounded and bleeding hearts of the
fsorrow-stricken relative healed, a veil
drawn over the bloody past, and sweet
oblivion with bright visions of the future
dwell in the breasts ofapeople once again
united and happy. But such, we say in
sadness, is not the case. Our condition,
and in fact that of the whole country.
is more deploIable and worse state of
excitement, than on the morning of the
surrender of the Confederate forces
the sunset of our liberties.
Who are to blame for this deplorable
state OF affairsa Certainly not the quiet
and peace-loving citizen; but the politi-
cal agitators and unprincipled office
seekers, both North and South, whose
aim is to plumber the country or wreck
1T amid internecine strife and conyulsion.
what the country wants now is-peace:
we have had enough war, both of words
and bullets. Let all those noisy brao
gadocios whose patriotism is Just now
OONih5 -OuU, JdhS HiSuOLn the owl.
look wise and remain silent. The
time for fighting has passed, and it
would be rather inconvenieut now to
get up another war for their especial
benefit. AS we are in no condition TO
dictate, the exercise of such a spirit
will only exasperate those in power and
drive them to further oppression. But
let those who have secured power by
using the freedmen, remember that thew
are of the same blood and nationality as
these whom they politically and socially
Cypress, and outside Of any personal ven
geance or imaginary political wrong, this
unjust prescription must be borne in
part by themselves, and will descend
in common, if not checked, to our DOS
terity. Whatever political or personal
issues may divide us, let the triumphant
party also remember that we are from
the same noble ancestry, and should ever
have in view the purity and perpetuity
of the Caucasian race.

CosT OF THE Is1pEAcHMEN TRIAts-

COST OF THE IsIPEACHMEN TRIAL.
A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
am told that the printing of the tick
cts of admission to the trial viii cost So
900. they are coupon tickets, large,
and stiff, and stamped, and to make
them permanent souvenirs, the name of
the Sergeant-at-arms, Brown, aud the
title ''lmpeachment of the President"
are written across them with prodigiouS
display. The expense of the trial to the
Government has been variously estimat-
ed at between two hundred thousand
dollars and half million. To bring
some individual witnesses here will cost
alone $4,000. Gen. Rousseau, for exam
pie, will get forty cents a mile for his
trip, coming and returning, having been
III form twice summoned, netting him
self the handsome sum of say 10000.
Ten cents mile each way is paid to
witnesses, and 81 day for attendance !;
the mileage is literally interpreted by
serving two writs and paying two ways
for both. Also, the regular business of
Congress. will be delayed at least a
month. To print the trial, as a Govern
ment document, will cost $4,000 l
am told that Mr.. Sherman and others
have been also little concerned to au-
ticipate the effect of the Impeachment
upon our securities abroad

WHAT'wE BAT.-A lecturer, enlarg-
ing on the subject of diet, said recently:
Soup, fish, flesh, oil, vinegar, wines, pas
try, ices, confectionery, fruits and nu-
merous minor ingredients of conflicting
chemical qualities, are among the mate
rails thrown in. Stir these things to-
gether in a vessel, aud which of us would
not sicken at the appearance and odor 2
Yet at dinner party they are all cramm-
ed into the stomach, there to ferment
and generate pernicious gases. Truly
man is fearfully and wonderfully made.
No other creature could exist on such
diet. Tt would kill a gorilla in month.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Cleveland
{Ohio) Leader recently had an interview
with Chief Justice Chase, whereof he
writes as follows:
The talk with the Chief Justice was
mainly upon current political topics. 1t
was remarked that his name had been
of late urged by the Democrats in con-
nection with the Presidency, on (which
Mr.. Chase said:
l wish that all men ofall parties would
leave my name alone in connection with
q Presidential nomination. / do not
seek the Presidency.
He wet to say that as Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States he
had necessarily to abandon party politics.
When he went on that bench he as
sumed an obligation recognized in his
oath, but anterior and superior to it, to
do impartial justice under the constitu-
ton and laws of the United States. He
could not be party judge, OF allow
himself to be swayed by partisan feeling,
without violating that OATH And he
regretted that newspapers of both par
ties had connected some of his recent
actions with party or perverse feeling.
