BLOWING UP.-The chief of police
Of New York has discovered stipend.
GUS Guy Fawkes plot. One hundred
and sixty pounds Of nitro-glycerine
have been discovered in unauthorized
hands, and the Implication is that
those unauthorized hands are to de.
posit the one hundred and sixty
pounds of nitro-glycerine under the
Capitol, and finish the radical party,
reconstruction, impeachment aud ali,
BY blowing up the whole concern.
We are informed on good authority
that "the thief does fear each bush
an officer" and, for reason similar
to that which affects the thief, Con-
gress received the intelligence com.
municated by the inquiring chief of
the New IoSk police with more alarm
than merriment. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the announcement of the
presence of a hundred and sixty
pounds of nitro glycerine in uuauthor
lied hands would excite more mirth
than CONSERVATION; but Congress is
conscious of deserving a blowing up,
aud hence the anxiety when it is as
certained that Unauthorized hands are
10 possession of an agent which might
blow up the whole radical Congress.
Henceforth, we presume, nitro. glyce-
rine will be considered an impediment
to reconstruction, and be removed ac-
cordingly from all unauthorized hands.

Editor Gazette and Comet, Baton Rouge, La:
Dear Strive observe in the New Or
leans Crescent of the 22d inst, an extract
from your paper, in which you state that
an agent of ours had been offering forty
dollars per month to the freedmen in your
city to work on this Levee, and also your
remarks in the prem Uses. Permit US to
correct you. We have not had one single
person connected with this contract or
employed by US, seeking laborers in any
direction or locality, and not until to-
m orrow will we be prepared to provide for
laborers. We have positively stated that
we will employ no man who violates q
contract to come to us, and we pay fifteen
dollars per month with full rations to
able bodied men. We propose to work to
benefit the country, and surely we will not
conflict with the interests of the planters.
Yours most respectfully,
ANDREW FREAME 81 Co.,

CULINARY COUPLETs.
BY A RHYMINe EpIoURE.

The hosts of our readers who hate tc
chilly yot not irreverently styled, "Godal.
mighty's victuals spoiled in the cooking >
will read the following with absorbing at
tention:
Always have lobster sauce with salmon,
| And Put mint sauce your roas ted lamb on
Veal outlets dip in egg and bread crumb-
Fry till you see brownish red come.
| Crate Gruyere cheese on macaroni;
Make the top crisp but not too bony.
In venison gravy, currant jelly
M tx with old port-see Francatelli.
In dressing salad, mind this law
With two hard yelks use one that's raw.
Roast veal with rich stock gravy serve;
And picked mushrooms, too, observe.
Roast pork sans apple sauce, past doubt,
Is HAN let" with the Prince left ont,
Yonr mutton chops with paper cover.
Aud make them amber brown all over.
Broil lightly your beefsteak-to fry it
Argues contempt of Christian diet.
Kidneys finer flavor gain
BY stewing them in good cham payne.
Buy stall-fed' pigeons. When you've got
them,
The way to cook them is to pot them.
Woodgrouse are dry when gumps have
Before you roast 'em always lard 'em.
To roast spring chickens is to spoil lem
just split 'em down the back and broil 'em.
1t gives true epicures the vapors
To see boiled mutton, minus capers.
Boiled turkey, gourmands know, of course.
Is exquisite, with celery sauce.
The cook deserves q hearty cutting.
Who serves roast fowls with tasteless stuff
fng
Smells require eggs and biscuits powder.
Don put fat pork in your clam chowder.
Egg sauce-few make it right, alasl
Is good with blue fish or with bass.
Nice oyster sauce gives zest to cod
A fish, when fresh, to feast god.
Shad, stuffed and baked, is most delicious
'Twould have electrified Apicius.
Roasted in paste, haunch of mutton,
Mig bit make ascetics play the glutton. |
But one might rhyme for weeks this way,
And still have lots of things to say. |
And SO 1'll close-for reader mine,
This Is about the hour dine.

The leading idea is, that as many col

with tutors by the War Department,
and graduates of such institutions will
be allowed to enter the army on the

LoUrsIANA.-A gentleman in this
city, who has just returned from a
business visit TO New Orleans, in
forms US that he spent the greater
portions Of one day in the negro Con-
stitution Convention now in session
in that city. He tells us that if the
scene could be faithfully daguerreoty.
ped and copied of the picture shown
TO every voter, be does not believe
that three STATES could be carried for
the Radicals. The negro members
appeared to be in the majority, but
possibly this may have on account
of the absence of the white members.
The negroes appeared to be nearly
all Of the blacklist type-pu'e Afri
cans. They were totally ignorant Of
all rules regulating the proceedings
of deliberate body, though the con-
vention had been in session two
months. A half dozen members
would be on their feet at once, ad.
dressing the chair, shouting in their
negro lingo, and utterly disregarding
the calls of order of the presiding Of
ticer. One Of the very few respect
ablelooking white members rising to
speak, gigantic negro, black as
night, got up before him, and menac-
ingIy said to him, "You sit right
down dar!"
To see these great, greasy, strong
negroes hobnobbing with
their white colleagues was. says our
informant, one Of the most disgusting
sights be ever beheld, and he would
not have believed such things could
be possible had he not seen it with
MS own eyes. The idea that the
making Of the organic Law for a great
State like Louisiana was intrusted to
such hands, was something SO hori-
bic that he could scarcely entertain the
thought that it was so
the galleries were tbropged with
negroes. Besides himself be could
see but one other white spectator.
The respectable people of New Or.
cans, both of Southern and North.
arm origin, do rot permit themselves
o be long seen in such company.
These plantation negroes voted
themselves eight dollars day for their
service, to pay which tax upon the
, ople is enforced at the point of the
'ayonet. 1t is really, however, more
han ten dollars day, since Conven-
ion warrants being at thirty per cent.

we 40 not say that there must
needs be general revolution in the
business pursuits Of the people, and
that capital and labor must BE- largely
withdrawn from home manufactures
and transferred to the department of
agriculture. But 1--WE do say. that
the latter must be largely rein
inforced and expanded before the
former can regain their wonted pros

is the primary and indispensable
condition of success to the product
i've industry of every nation, and
without it there can be no perma
nent and solid development in any
of its branches. The recruits for the
ranks of the rillers of the soil must
be drawn chiefly from abroad and
from our large cities The CONNER
cial classes, which are largely over
stocked, should furnish their full
quota. and the thousands of able.
bodied young men who are now ont
of employment, and looking in vain
tor fortune to smile upon them in
the unproductive and uncertain
walks of mercantile life, would do
well, when the spring opens. to turn
their faces resolutely toward the un-

where the sure reward of honest in
