MORE HARD NAl-Es. -

We have taken occasion during the last
few weeks 10 comment upon the common
use Of hard names . and opprobrious
epithets by the Democratic journals of New
Orleans, in lieu Of arguments, when speak
ing of the " loyal men of Louisiana and
Republicans generally. It is kind OF
augmentation which idiots ought to be
ashamed. Christian men and women are
supposed to be above it. When a Turk
wishes to get in clincher he demolishes his
opponent by heaping all sorts Of vile
epithets upon his mother. The improve
ment OF our opponents on the Turkish
standard consists il vilifying not ones
mother but himself Would it not be
well to advance one step further, and adopt
the Christians standard which, although
this may be news to some, is at the same
tine the gentleman's standard, and leave
them off altogether:
We are happy to say that our structures
upon this unscholarly and uugentlemanly
not to say indecent practice have not been
without effect upon our city contemporaries,
and that there has recently been marked
improvement in this respect. A Camp
street journal which formerly INDUCED in
such pathological curses as - Cormorant,
ETC., when speaking Of us, has at last come
down to the use of such tame epithets as
Literary Excrescenee." We have care
fully analysed this phrase, and fail to see
in it anything Opprobrious or suggestive Of
immortality. An excrescence is not Of ne
cessity rascal. But to show our cotem-
poraries the evil effect of their example,
and what crop has grown up from the
dragons teeth which they have hitherto
sown broadcast SO industriously, we quote
the following specimens of Democratic
arguments - recently employed for our
special conversion in some Confederate
cross-road print OF upper Louisiana. From
long list of 8 Democratic clinchersp we
select only the most persuasive, namely
This miserable, sneating, peUured PGnlcec
hireling-ihis GENDER (UenGor) Of double rect
fed damnGJle lies-miserable dbOr!ion-you
lying vilain-you base pepUred ass !" and
finally the sentence Of our terrible doom
Your base and corrupt party will soon
sink of its own venality and rottebness, and
there will not bubble rise to tell where
the mass Of corruption went down."
We are almost persuaded to leave our
party and 60 over to the Louisiana De-
mocracy! What a pleasant thing to be
numbered among the chivalry CAPABLE nj
such things But seriously, we wonder
why the better men of the party, and we
freely admit there are some good men
among the Democrats, do not serve these
fellows as they do fractions horses in the
West; throw them down and sit upon theiI
heads. We have sometimes asked our.
selves the question, "Whatpurpose do these
creatures serve in the worlds economy u
Can it be that which Mr.. Carlyle suggested
Of Walt Whitman when he likened him to
a buffalo, useful in fertilizing the soil, but
utterly mistaken in supposing that his con.

be able TO decide how far Mr.. Longmier
exceeded his instructions. In the absence
Of this information we are bound to pre-
sumo that be satisfied his Constituents, who,
if they were not the citizens of De Soto
parish in their collective capacity" were
residents Of the parish, and assumed to
speak for the "people" according to the
Judges own showing. The committee, as
well as Judge Wemple, were disposed to
set limits to the extent to which McCalla
could safely go in advising the freedmen,
and they agreed in presupposing that the
objects of the Radical organization were
hostile to the less numerous population"
The not very graceful allusion to Mr. Nc
Calais removal to Kansas shows also that
the latter had been led by fears for his
own safety to seek residence among more
law-abiding people
Judge Wemples letter reads to us more
like I'm apology than a contradiction. 1t
is obviously evasiys, and far from being
convincing. We would most gladly pub
fish any truthful statement showing that
the people, or the Democratic parish
club or whateve. they or their friends
may cali them, were everything that good
men ought to be, It is no pleasure to US
to relate day after day the history Of out
RACES against the persons of citizens of the
State. We would much rather publish
good accounts o! every inhabitant Of
Louisiana, Bu. We are anxious for the
truth, and will no: be satisfied with any
thing less. And We fear that Judge Wem-
pie has been more the apologist than The
historian in the case Under discussion.

service to commerce, but would
furnish no relief from erevasses
in the lower river. Would Louisiana
tamely submit to a project fraught with
destruction to the river plantations all the
way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans,
and to the city itself? That would be
asking rather too much from us. We can,
however, promise the people of St. Louis
a ship canal connecting the Mississippi and
Lake Pontchartrain, in the vicinity of New
Orleans, within the next two or three years,
that will fulfill all the requirements of
commerce. We would like to see enough
competition to induce New Orleans to re-
move the burdens which she has hitherto
imposed upon commerce By excessive
charges, etc, but we do not care to be
utterly ruined without procuring good to
any one.
As to the MobiliaHs who have the Man
chac Pass on the brain SO badly, we ad-
wise them to repeat what has already hap
pened once or twice in the history of their
city. e., leave it altogether, and locate
at Pascagoula, Mississippi. The Pasca-
goula ship canal will be so far completed
in few days as to admit vessels drawing
from nine to ten feet of water, instead Of
the six or seven they now have in Mobile
bay. Mobile means movable. Pascagoula
is the place for you, gentlemen. Unless
you bestir yourselves, within ten years
some solitary freedman may perhaps be
soliloquizing over the ruins of the Battle
House, in language like that put in ths
mouth Of Macaulay's famous New Zea-
ander, over q crumbling arch Of Waterloo
Bridge.

We published yesterday morning a
lengthy card from Judge Wemple, of
Mansfield, De Soto parish, which was writ
ten for the purpose Of correcting certain
''misstatements" that appeared in report
published in this paper on the eleventh of
April. We have read the Judges remarks
with the utmost attention; and while we
are disposed to award him all credit for
candor in his view Of matters, we End q
difference rather Of manner than Of matter
between his own statement and the one he
attempts to eriticise. While be denies that
the citizens Of De Soto parish held a
neeting on the 2sth Of March, and adopt
ed resolutions prohibiting future meet
ings Of Republican organizations" ETC., he
explains that on that day the Democratic
parish club7 held meeting in Mansfield
and epassed certain resolutionsn and ap-
pointed committee Of two to ascertain
whether the freedmen had or had not or
gained secret Radical meetings.. II fur
thor appears from Judge Wemple's state
ment that Longmier and Williams waited
upon Mr.. Humphries in pursuance Of the
resolutions; that considerable pressure
waA brought to bear upon Mr. McCalla to
prevent his having any political intercourse
visA the freedmen, On the plea that the re-
silt auld be to instill into the minda Of

We copy the following from the las. num-
Der Of the Shreveport Southeastern:
Tie dry, pleasant weather of the fore part
of the past week wss very beneficial to the
| growing crops. Sunday night we had &
| heavy storm, and since then it has been
| cold and damp, and when not actually rain
| ing, threatened TO every moment. Vegeta-
| ton of all kinds lO0E healthy, and is grow
| ing finely. Corn and cotton, both on the
hills and in the b9ttOms, are all that any
one could ask for.
The planters in the river bottoms are
much concerned shout another overflow,
which we regrs; to say they have
good cause for. The rear of many
water, and another rise reported
coming out of the upper river. Should
their apprehensions be realized the finest
prospects ever seen on the river will be
blasted. Some Of :bem have ceased work
and are calmly awaiting the threatened
! destruction, Whichit is not in their power
to ayert.
That enterprising paper, the Bastrop D!G,
pdtca, whose editor is one of the most
amiable gentlemen tAst ever put himself on
record, says:
The prospect for large corn crop never
looked more promising than at present, and
if the season continues as favorable as il
now is, there will be more corn raised than
there has been fo- many years.
The fruit crop promises an abundant
yield, and there is no DOUBT there will be
more peaches, apples, pears, fgs, grapes,
| Strawberries, black0erries, whortleberries,
etc, than have eYeT0een seen in this section
| of country before.
The same paper adds;
The thirteen.yesr locusts have reappeared
in great numbers in different parts Of More
| house, but they have done no damage to
vegetation as yet. These locusts made their
| appearance in this parish thirteen years ago.
