THE SUNDAY CRESCENT The Sunday Cries.
CENT, in all respects, is paper which we offer
ms creditable to the literature and journalistic
enterprise of New Orleans. Filled with the
latest news by telegraph and mail, with in
teresting local events, with a miscellany of
literary contributions original and selected,
and with the latest financial and commercial
intelligence, it is a paper which we
offer to the public with entire, con-
fidence in its being acceptable. The
Sunday CRESCENT being carefully and leisurely
read, is paper the advantages of advertising
in which are so apparent that nothing further
on the subject need be said.

A NEEDLESS AFPKLHENsIoS.-A Washington
special, Of the 25th. TO the Cincinnati Commercial,
ssys: Much Of the feverisbness in the public
mind in regard to the Impeachment proceeding
arises from the supposit,oH that Congress will at
tempt to suspend the president while the trial is
in progress that he will resist the same and tb at
serious difficulties will ensue. From what is
learned there is not the least ground for the be-
lief that il will be attempted to suspend the pres
ident. On the contrary the indications are tllss
the impeachment trial will go on under the well
established forms Of procedure.

lures of earth:
Now, therefore, l, H. c. Warmoth, Cover

the same day to be observed as a day of
Thanksgiving to the Almighty for His mer.

He may continue His bounties to us in the

oARPET-BAeeERY ON THE BRAIN


Our contemporary, the Crescent, seems tx
be suffering acutely from an attack of car
pet-baggery on the brain. Wherever il
turns its jaundiced eyes it seeJ nothing but
carpet-bags stuffed with commissions an.
pointing their hated bearers to lucrative
Offices. For this is the real crime of that
detested class. "The very head and front
of their offending hath this extent, no
more" that they will persistenty seek and
provokingly get office. In fact our con-
temporary, in a vixenish article in this
mornings edition, frankly acknowledged
that this is SO. 1t says fatty, "they have
got into office and obtained power by dis
franchising portion of the white people,
etc. That is the tender point. Emi-
grants from the North may flock
here in thousands, bringing all
their worldly goods in all kinds of CARPET
bags; they may import with IMMUNITY the
most offensive peculiarities of the Yankee
race, peddling patent improvements and
labor-saving machines, saving their money,
blackening their own boots, eschewing in
stead of chewing tobacco, drinking tea in
stead of whisky, settling their difficulties
by law instead of by fisticuffs or firearms,
in short, introducing into this conservative
community all sorts of demoraliz.
ing Yankee notions, provided when
they settle here they will con-
fine themselves to business pursuits, belle
their political sentiments in Difference to the
prejudices of this people, and above all
things abdicate that privilege dearer than
all others to an American citizen
that of holding office. Now, nobody
disputes that of1ce-seeking and office-hold-
ing, pursued as profession, is not an
exalted one; but, unfortunately, it is one
not confined to the carpet-baggers. If it
we're, there would be less soreness, less
spite on the part of their opponents; but it
IS the fact that those opponents have been
IN the habit Of monopolizing the Offices
themselves that makes the sin of carpet
oagging SO rank in their eyes. If it were
'fice-seeking as a profession which they
wished to censure, they would have strong
Eround to stand upon; but that would be
themselves. Seriously, this
Tue and cry after carpet-baggers is becom-
ng tiresome and disgusting to the public
n general Sensible men can not fail to
zee through it, and despise the self-interest-
d spirit by which it is prompted. 4

Governor Warmoth and Mayor CONWAY
occupied seats together in the COURTROOM
Of theUnited States District Court yester-
day, while the 0pelousas Railroad case
was before the PioGyane.
We see nothing very extraordinary in
these two gentlemen taking seats together
Mayor Conway is one Of our flrst citizens
to use an old-tine and favorite expression
Of the Picayums; he is respected by all
and high-toned Republican gentlemen like
Governor Warmoth do not prescribe gen.
tlemen Of opposite political faith ever
though inferior in position or official au
thority. The true Republican does no
resort TO such resentments as TO withdraw
from Democrats all countenance, associa
ton and patronage, and to thwart every
effort they may make to maintain bust
ness and social foothoid among US, this
Republican majority Of Louisiana. A GER
tain circular was recently issued by the
Democratic State Central Committee
signed Thomas L. Macon, President and
j. 3. Austin, a. B. Bacon, Theo. F. THE.
nemann and J. II. Halsey, Committee
which went the rounds Of the press. and i,
yet we'll rem embered.
