they Nave rejected as nuisance,
all in accordance with "tbe spirit of
the law" and "the true principle laid
down by moral jurists."
The argument that high waters and
ugly travelling prevented fair
expression of popular wishes is gravely
stated. 1t is said that Gin attempting
to reach the places of voting one or more
persons were drowned, which deferred
many from proceeding further" From
this we infer that the eolored suffragans
moved upon the elee ion precincts in a
body, aud that the fearful accident above
named, coupled with the usual African
aversiOs TO thin fluids and personal alb
lutions, struck such terror to the ''loyap
souls of the great unwashed" that they
preferred disfranchisement to cold
bath, and ingloriously abandoned their
blood bought privileges, rather than
have the "sacred soil" upon their noble
persons defiled by contact with swollen
brooks and branches. Beyond the roar
ing creeks and tempestuous frog-ponds
lay the promised land Of their heritage.
Sweet fields beyond the swelling food
Stood dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood
While Jordan rolled between.
Did they not stand as Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'erl
Aud did the cold and raging flood
Alright them from the shore 7"
Yea, verify! They shrunk from the
fords; manhood" and humanity" and
loyalty" were all sacrificed by az un-
timely freshet, and reconstruction"
failed for want of a ferry-boat.
The pretexts of the Committees re
port in favor of Alabama's admission
are too silly and disgusting for serious
consideration. If Congress must haul
in the Southern States under the rule of
negroes too stupid to vote themselves in,
even with bayonets to point the way,
why not, in the words of distinguished
Radical, Ego to hi boldly" and not in
suit common sense and public decency
by affecting paltry excuse in justif-
cation of mighty fraud, or apologizing
in the name of principle" for Specious
villainy which has no aim but partisan
success, and no motives bnt those of
power and dlunderi

The new visiting and weddi2g cards,
having a crystalline surface resembling
moire metallique, sometimes called "ice
paper" are coated with sugar of lead by
careful manipulation with a solution of
this salt, and, as may be readily imagin-
ed are very dangerous playthings for
children. A solution of stearic acid in
alcohol will produce something of the
same effect, at less risk.

Prince Alfred, Victoria's second son,
is at present making grand tour
around the world, and appearing re-
Gently in Australia, was overwhelmed
with demonstrations of colonial loyal
ty. The people, it is said, were al
most frantic, After remaining in Mel
bourne short time, the prince went
cup the country" whereupon, accord
ing to report, the whole country "got
drunk" and kept it up until after the
prince left. At Melbourne the prince
was measured for pair of boots. The
entire adult male population then tried
to play the part of Cinderella's sisters,
and to squeeze their feet into boots
made after the same measure.

Editors get their exchanges for their
own use and not to be carried away by
persons too stingy to subscribe for pa
per themselves. Exchanges are to an
editor what any other kind of material
is to any other sort of mechanic, and
like all other good mechanics he likes
to have his material convenient for use
at any moment he desires to use it.

If cur neighbors, while traducing the
Radical party and villifying the govern
ment for its so-called oppressive legisla-
ton against the South, would only have
the magnanimity to accredit it with the
immense relief it has extended to her iGl-
poverished people and bankrupt corpora
tons since the war was concluded, we
would not feel so much aggrieved.
To the aid and indulgence extended by
the general government the railway system
of the South owes its revival and successful
maintenance until the chartered owners
were in condition to operate it. Especially
has this been the case with the mail service
of the South, never self sustaining, even
before the war. The enlightened and lib
eral policy which has invariably governed
the ''postal branch of our government
led Immediately upon the close of the
war to the re-establishment of mail
service over all the principal roU es
in the Southern States, and in many in
stances furnished increased mail facilities
over those enjoyed prior to the rebellion,
and this has been particularly the case in
Louisiana, to which cause mainly, if not
entirely, we are indebted for the rapid and
extended development of our various State
agricultural interests. The mail facilities
furnished Louisiana by the Postoffice De-
partment have greatly Influenced immi-
grants from the Northern States in pur-
chasing and set ing in her borders. And
as mail and stage routes have always been
the :orerunners of railways and telegraphs,
we can not do otherwise than consider
them the pioneers Of dawning enterprise
and progressive improvements in our State.
Nothing has contributed SO decidedly to
the organization of the movement now on
foot to complete the gap in our railway
connection with Houston, Texas, as the
present overland mail line of stages which
connects the United States mail steamers
at New Iberia with the New Orleans and
Houston Railroad, at Orange, Texas, to
which point il is now completed, 108 miles
this side OF Houston. This important
route was established by the Postoffiee
Department to render the department inde-
pendent OF the Gulf route with Texas, and at
the same time to facilitate the completion
of railway communication to Texas, and it
has so far fully answered the purpose, and
will accomplish its mission. Let us do JUS
tice even to our enemies.
Since writing the above, we have heard
with regret of the discontiauance Of the
mail route from New Iberia to Orange
Texas, but sincerely hope that proper repre-
sentation will be made to induce the Post
Office Department to renew the contract for
the mail service over said road.

Of historical study. as FL
The principal metropolis of the city is
that which lies at the foot of Canal street,
and which includes the Firemen's Cypress
Grove, Greenwood, Potters Field, Oddfel-
lows, st. Patrieks, Bishops, and the He
brew Cemetaries. The Firemen's CYPRESS
Grove No. is divided into five avenues;
running from one end to the other, and is
crossed by four walks. This contaias
noble monuments, erected by Nos. 7, is,
IA and perhaps others of our fire organiEa-
ton; the grave OF Aumford, and of Trad Ferry
killed some years since in the service Of
the public. Greenwood contains the re-
mains of Mayor Crossman, Mcleod, Wood
ruff, Locke, McCulloch, Turnell, Ruleff,
Dlakely, Marshal, Chism, Heation, Hol-
lingsworth and Summers; the tombs of the
Draymen's Society and German Lodge, and
several monuments 10 soldiers killed
during the war. The New Orleans Typo
graphical Society has a nob,s repository
for its dead.
The Greenwood and Cypress Grove
Cemetaries were both established by the
Firemens Charitable Association.
Odd Fellows Rest, with its spacious ave-
nues bordered with trees and lined with
the tombs Of good and charitable men, is
one of the most attractive of the homes of
the dead. 1t contains the tomb of the Teu-
tonia Lodge, Howard Association, and the
ashes of D. l. Ricardo The Bishops and
st. Patrick's are the burial grounds of the
Catholic population from the north of Eu-
rope. They contain the remains of the
best known Irish families of New Orleans.
Beside the cemeteries named above are
the st. Vincent de Paul's, in the Third Dis
trict which contains the mausoleums of the
Herman Lodge Of I. o. o. F. and of the
Jackson Benevolent Association.
The St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum Gene
tary (among whose vaults well worthy of
noticing are those Of the Keller, Ormsby and
Shaeffer families), the City and Lafayette
Cemeteries are situated all upon Washing
ton street. The latter contains the remains
of Governor Allen; and within its en-
closure has been recently erected by the
Butchers Benevolent Society tomb with
eighty-seven vaults at cost of $4,000.
The American Cemetery, on Girod
street, is one of the eldest and best known
in the city, and contains many noble monu-
ments. During the last tbirty-three years
at least fifteen thousand people must have
been there laid for final rest. The Gene
terry contains the vault OF the New Lusi-
tanos Society, Young Mems Crescent and
Star Association, Pelican Hook and Lad
der No. 4, and the tombs of twenty-five
other societies.

AUBURN, November 1.-Mr. Seward de-
Tended President Johnson's policy OF re-
construction at great length, claiming that
it was following the footsteps of Lincoln,
and consisted simply in opening the
easiest, shortest and safest way for return
into the national family of the people Of the
Southern States, who now repented for tleir
attempted separation. He attacked, vio-
lently, the Radical plan of reconstruction
as prepared by Congress, denounced the
impeachment project and characterized the
doings Of the Radicals as wild, and the
reckless proceedings Of the Inconsistent
leaders, such as kept Mexico in condition
of anarchy through the period of forty
years, and which has left hardly stable or
even a peaceful Republic remaining in
South America.
After complimenting several Democrats,
with whom he has been acting, Seward
said:
ITO eonfde the responsibility of the
government to the Radical party in its
present condition would be to continue,
perhaps increase, the lamentable political
excitement which has delayed the complete
restoration of the Union up to the present
time. The resHlt of the election, If favor
able to the candidates OF our choice, will
prepare the popular mind to expect now
what it has heretofore objected to, namely,
the most practicable and easy solution of
the national lembarrassments" Mr.. Seward
ended by stating that throughout his life he
had been an advocate of universal suffrage
for the exile, the enigrant and the slave,
and had given to those classes the supp Srt
and patronage which the Constitution per-
mits and allows.
Mayor Hoffman issued a proclamation
yesterday to the people of this city, set
ting forth that INSCRIPTIONS, designing and
dangerous men have combined to prevent
naturalized citizens from voting, under the
pretext that their papers had been fraudu-
lently obtained. The United States Mar
shal is declared to have appointed swar ms
of special deputies to take their places at
the polls for the purpose of overawing
voters and otherwise interfere to prevent
fair election. Evidence is said to be accu-
mulating which shows determination on
the part of certain men to so excite the
masses of the people in the city opposed to
them as to lead them to acts of disorder
and violent resistance. The Mayor calls
upon the people to keep quiet under the
most aggravating circumstances, and offers
reward of one hundred dollars for the
arrest and conviction of any person charged
with a violation of the election laws of the
State, Or who may be convicted of having
obstructed or intimidated any voter in the
exercise of his right as an elector.

Fair Freedom won the day.
