THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The New York Tribune calls the senseless
rawlings of the radicals for the conviction OF
the President, the Voice of the People
The Tribune and the radicals seem to be
afflicted with chronic incapacity to hear
nybody's voice but their own: This is
Kind of mistake not seldom made by silly or
fanatical people The three tailors of Tooley
street. supposed themselves to be the
people of England, and, last summer, Gen.
Grant declared that the removal of Sheridan
would not be tolerated by the public, because
the "voice of the people was in favor of re-
tanning that extraordinary official in the posi-
ton from which he had been expelled. But
the Tooley street tailors and Gen. Grant COM
mitted a great error. The people of England
simply laughed at the proclamations Of their
sartorial advisers, and the people of the
United States voted approval OF the re-
moval of Sheridan. The radical organs
now clamor loudly for the removal of
President Johnson, and declare that the
people are wild with desire for his conviction.
But when they talk of the people they have a
very bad habit of supposing that all who do
not approve Of their projects, constitute no
portion of the American public If this ques-
ton of the conviction and removal of the
President were purely political question sub
ject to decision not in accordance with the
law and the evidence bearing on the case.
but in accordance with the desires of ma
jority of the people, decent respect for that
popular Judgment which the radicals are so
fond Of invoking, would require that the
people should, at least, be consulted. But
the radicals have no test of right or wrong, OF
law, or of crime, or Of public opinion, except
their own wishes and interests. 1t is very
easy to say that the people demand the re-
moval of the President, aud to prove it by re-
fefring to the editorials of the New York Tri-
bune and the resolutions of radical meetings.
But this kind of testimony is not by any
means conclusive.
Last year the same papers and the same
persons who are now raving for the conviction
of the President, swore Justify that the peo-
pie demanded the contamination of the radi-
cal scheme of reconstruction. But on that
very issue the Republicans lost Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
California, and very nearly lost Ohio. The
''voice of the people" condemned their policy;
yet they persisted in carrying it forward in
spite of popular reprobation. There can be
no doubt that public opinion is even more
strongly hostile to this disgraceful project OF
removing the President; yet the radicals
would persist in concentrating the scheme if
they could coax OF bully the recusant senators
into obedience. The truth is that they have
quite as little regard for the voice of the
people" as for truth, justice and deceney.

TIE MEXICAN GULF RAnRoAD.-Under the
name of the Southeastern Railroad Com.
pany, reorganization of the Mexican Gulf
Railroad Company has been effected. The
importance of re-establishing this line of
communication with the fertile country lying
between the city and Lake Borgne has not
been over-estimated by the gentlemen who
have assumed charge of the new enterprise.
The names of these gentlemen are guarantee
that the work will be eDergetically prosecuted,
and it is to be hoped that their efforts will be
seconded by the community. A circular
which has been placed in our hands, informs
US that the work viii be commenced as soon
as one-haf of the capital stock shall have
been subscribed for. Two dollars per share
are to be paid on subscribing, and the rest in
installments not to exceed ten dollars per
share. We shall refer again TO this project.

ton de Paris, the man of men in the inter

over one years absence in Paris, to receive
the hearty oyations Of his friends, (who are
legion, and who know him but to love him.
During his absence he has worked harder,
talked, and accomplished more, for the peo-
pie and the State of Louisiana, than any
other man could or would have done under
the same circumstances. This writer was in

its contents, of cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar,
molasses, native flowers and shrubbery, and
home pictures of Mississippi, T6che and New
Orleans city scenery, attracted as much at

terrogated by the thousands of visitors as to
the origin of this or that, the products and

that NJ. Gotthiel has done more for Louis

accomplished, and that the citizens of Louis

they owe him. Working like a day laborer,
laboring like workingman, but still, always
the gentleman that he is, he never ate,
drank or slept, that it was not with a thought

that one who has accomplished so much and
been recompensed so poorly will not only re-
ceive the hearty greetings of the hundreds he
has met since his return, but that he will re-
ceive some public and substantial recognition
Of his valuable services.

Miscellany.



Here is an incident of the European war oil
1915, told by the German papers:
On the morning of the memorable battle Of
Waterloo, Henneman had just handed his
master tBluchel) lighted pipe, when can.
non bali struck the ground close by, scatter
ing earth and gravel in all directions. and
causing the white charger on which Butcher
was mounted 10 spring aside-a maneuver
that broke the pipe INTO a thousand pieces
before the owner mad time even to lit it to
his lips.
"Just keep lighted pipe ready for me; |
shall be back in few moments, after have
driven away the rascally French churs."
With these words Butcher gave the COM
mtnd, forward, boys!" and off he galloped
with his cavalry. Instead, however, Of a
chase OF few minutes, it was rapid march
OF nearly whole hoi summer day, as we all
know from history. After the battle was
over Butcher rode back with Wellington to
the place where he first got a glimpse OF the
combating armies, and nearing the spot
where Butcher had halted in the morning,
they saw to their surprise solitary man, his
head tied with handkerchief, one arm in a
sling, and calmly smoking pipe.
Bonner und BltZ! cried Blucher; "why,
that is my Henneman. How you look boy
What are you doing here alone?"
Waiting for your speedy return" was the
grumbling answer. +" You have come at last
have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for
the whole day. This is the last pipe in the
box. The cursed French have shot away ev-
cry pipe in my mouth, have ripped the flesh
from my head, and shattered my arm with
their deuced bullets. 1t is well there is an
end to the battle, or you would have been too
late even for the last pipe"
Saying which, he handed TO Butcher the
pipe to enjoy the remaining fumes OF the
weed. Wellington, who had listened atten-
lively to the conversation, here remarked to
Butcher, You have just admired the I'M
dinching loyalty and bravery of my High
landers, what shall say to this true and de-
voted soul?" but your HighIanders had no
pipe to re2ale themselves with"

Tombstone Poetry.

Temple Bar lately published an article on
epitaphs, in which were several specimen in
scriprions culled from graveyards in the in
land counties. The mourning relatives of
Mr.. John DAILY announce that
" He died of Quinsy,
And was buried at Binsy"
Equally to the point is this:
Here lieth wrapt in clay,
The body of William Wray.
i have no more to say"
The friends of detunct Sunbury house
holder show cheerful confidence in his fu-
ture:
Mr.
Left Sunbury,
Aud started for Paradise,
June 25th, 10"
In the churchyard of Cotton-Hackett, Wor-
cestershire, occurs an epitaph OF quite anoth-
er kind, one that can hardly be improved:
Here lieth the body of John Galley in expec-
tation of the Last Day.
What sort of man he was that day he will
discover"
Some of the inscriptions which he cites
may seem to some readers too ridiculous to
be genuine, but any one who has at all stud
led the monumental absurdities" of the
British muse will readily give them credencc.
ONE of the importunate juveniles who WIS.,
it the Continental Hotel and solicit pennies
was asked:
Where is your mother?"
She answered diffidently, "She is dead"
Have you no tather?"
Yes, sir, but he is sick"
What ails him?" continued the ques-
toner.
He has got sore finger, SIR"
"Indeed?"
Yes, sir"
why don't he cut it off then?
Please, sir, responded the little maid, he
