Carpet.Bag9er Yarmouth on LOuislann
Politics.

The Legislature of Louisiana, it appears,
has taken Governor Yarmouth to task pretty
severely for the letter which he recently sent
to the President asking for more federal troops
to preserve the peace in that State. The hand
some young carpet-bag Governor from Illinois,
it will be remembered, charged the State of
Louisiana in said letter with very guilty
record-in fact, with the wilful murder of one
hundred and fifty persons in six weeks-put
out of the way on political grounds. The
resolution now offered in the Legislature asks
for the proof of these political assassinations.
1t is to be hoped for the honor of Louisiana
that Governor Yarmouth will not be able to
furnish any such proof, and it appears to be
the general opinion that he will not. Of course
there are plenty Of murders committed in
Louisiana, as there are in all the Southern
States, but it does not follow that they are in
any way connected with politics.; and so the
Legislature of the State appears to think.
Nor did the Senator who proposed the resolu-
ton suppose that there was any need of addi-
tional military aid, as he alleged that ''the
Army of the Republic" military body of
which Governor Yarmouth is the head, num-
bers ten thousand men and has at its disposal
in the rooms of the Loyal League" five thou
sand five hundred stand of arms. If these
allegations be true-and it devolves upon Gov
ernor Yarmouth to prove them false if he
can't may be difficult to perceive what neces-
sity there is for the reinforcements Of federal
soldiers which the Governor asks for in order
to keep the peace in Louisiana. Hot-headed,
hasty and ambitious young politicians, who
have little or no interest in the State over
whose destinies they accidentally happen to
preside, are apt to run the country into serious
expense for nothing if the good sense of wiser
heads does not prevent them.

Is GenerRl Grant soldier or Butcher
The highly respectable, well dressed and
polite Mantilinis of the Manhattan Club, hav-
ing very little experience in the camp, but well
read, as appears from their language and style,
in the routine cOurteses Of the uptown slums,
are and have been for some time past deeply
exercised respecting General Grant, his every
day habits, professional requirements and repu-
tation as military commander. At one time,
smelling Of cheap cologne and bad brandy,
they inquire if the General is drunkard;
and again, having got hold of somebody's
book entitled, "The Art of War;" they preface,
with second hand dissertation on the move
ments of great armies in the field, question
which amounts to SIS the COMMANDMENT
Chief a soldier or butcher?" These political
Bohemians appear to be vastly troubled with
regard to the solution of this to them promi-
nent issue Of the Presidential campaign, and
express themselves with just as deep concern
on the subject as did Greeley when he pro-
pounded to the American public that attractive
problem in moral philosophy which reads:-I
Seymour liar?
The refreshing proposition of the Manti-
linis relative to General Grant is presented in
lengthy, roundabout statement, furnished,
no doubt, by some Of the demoralized party
cliques who have lost money in the vehicle
which conveys 1t and seek perhaps to regain

current Of New York politics which they
themselves have done so much to provoke !;

the eyes of an intelligent public.
This degrading system of personal vitupera-
ton Of public men, having its birth in the
sitting and enfeebling atmosphere of party
caucus-this irresponsible license of hurting
at candidates for the highest executive Offices
in the republic such epthets as ''liar, "

traitor ''rebel,' and so forth-is almost
"played out in the United States. and q will
full adherence to its use in the present temper
and tone Of the country can only result in the
utter destruction of the journals and that OF

The Lost Boy.


A Paris letter tells the following
story Of a Twelfth night fete in that
city:
A wealthy family in the aristo-
cratic boulevard Malasherbes were
amusing themselves in seeking the
kings portion, or the ring in the
festival cake, when a lady of the
company says to the hostess, 81
wish my portion to be given to the
poorest little boy we can find in the
Street, The servant was dispatch
ed on this freezing night, and not
far from the house he found a rag
ged urchin, trembling with eoldand
hanger. He brought him up, was
ordered into the gay saloon where
thousand lights glittered, and
sparkling fire gladdened and sur
prised. He drew his portion which
the benevolent lady had promised,
and as luck would have it, the little
fellow found the "ring", (beans
they use m Paris Unsteady and Of
course he was 0'king". They all
shouted out that being a king he
must choose a queen. He was ask
ed to do so, and looking round the
company he chose the very lady
who had proposed to cede her por-
ton of the cake. He was asked
why he chose her. lie said, II
don't know! she looks the most
like motherp' Mother! whose

he drew from out his ragged coat a
likeness which proved to be that Of
the very lady herself, who, in Italy
had had her child stolen from, her,
and now he turns up a poor little
ragged Savoyard, dragging along
miserable existence in Paris, while
his mother, by an intuition, per
haps, felt that in the air near to
where she was, was one so dear to
her. @
