when the god Of day darts out his rays n mid
summer power and splendor, the temperature is
positively delightful. The breeze is ever fresh
and exhilarating whether itcomes from the shores
of Barstaria or from Mississippi Sound. At some
future epoch, when Yellow Jack shall have been
analyzed and then annihilated, New Orleans will
probably be looked upon by the people of the
United States, in summer, as London is looked
upon by the people Of Great Britain-the pleas
ATTEST and most equable place to live in during
the dog days in the realm. Let us, then, make
every endeavor to kill off the yellow pest, rrigate
and refresh our streets, drain and raise our cy-
press swamps; and then, like New York, we shall
have no dead season. but from years end to years
end a ceaseless influx and departure of travellers,
merch andiseyend all the concomitants Of wealth
and advancement.
DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN Of Louisiana returned,
q few days ago, from journey 10 the Northern
cities, whittier he had gone to raise loan for an
extensive enterprise, of which he Is the head.
Without any difficulty or hesitation, the capitalists
of Wall street, advanced him million dollars at
four per cent. year. But the great State Of
Louisiana, with unbounded resources, and power
Of recnperation like the rebounding OF an india
rubber ball, cannot obtain an advance on her
proered securities at any rste OF interest hardly
and her treasury might almost be lett unlocked
upon the highway, and passed with contempt by
every burglar and petty thief. Why is this! fhe
monied men Of New York have more than once
answered this question to those of our public
men that have applied to them for relief:
We have confidence in your honesty and
your latent wealth, but none IN your
system of government or the stability of your
present institutions You are living an unnatural
and forced-an artificial political existence, and
we have no faith in your promises to pay. We
are overburdened with money; we would lend
from our surplus stores almost at nominal inter-
est but rather than advance you mo1ey now, un-
der the risks you suffer from, wei keep IL safe
and unproductive in our Golfers. Elect the Demo-
cratic nominees, fellow citizens; destroy the

party have raised in place of free government
and the Constitution let us have old citizens for
governor and legislators, instead Of the pestient
adventurers who swarm here now, and will, after
robbng the city and State, return to their squalid
birth places to dazzle their former friends with
stolen gold restore the dear old land to its pris-
tine position, and the dollars will be shelled out
from the pockets of the great Northern capital
lists, "thick as autumnal leaves that strew the
brooks" etc.
The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, yesterday,
| by party vote of 81 to l8, thanked the late
| Board of Registration, of which S. b. Packard
was chairman, for the bold, able and patriotic
| manner in which it had discharged its duties.
| The discussion of this resolution was conducted
| with considerable warmth on both sides; the
| Democratic members who took part defending
| their constituents from the statements made IN
| the boards report. and the Republicans replying
| in defense of the resolution. The assertion that
| Gen. Buchanan had attempted TO intimdate the
| board by suggestions Of Dry Tortugas, gives the
| public little additional light on the interview at
| headquarters on the day after the so'called pro-
| camation was issued by Mr.. Packard. The
threat that in case the enactmen's Of the legsla-
| ture are resisted, +" the hosts of the North will
come pouring down more terribly than ever
| before,n left hearers in doubt whether they are
coming down with bsyonets to fight, or with bal
| lots TO vote at the next election. We shall give
| the aforesaid hosts hearty welcome, and only De
too glad to prove TO them how far we are from
being the lawess and disloyal community which
| ig D
to represent us.
Burrill, a colored member from st. John the
Bsplst, and usually moderate in his views, said
he feared, il matters went on as they were gong,
be would have to take TO his musket again. We
trust that the amiabe Burrils fears may prove al
ogether groundless, and that the patent Spring
field, which once chafed his herculian shoulders
may rest and rust over his chimney place forever
THE ACT OF the legislature inaugursting the new
courts and installing them the successors Of the
old courts Yesterday received the governors sig
nature and was put into effect. In bidding adieu
to the late clerks in their public capacity, we can
not refrain from the expression OF our thanks FOL
| their unvaryng kindness, not only to the news
paper fraternity but to the public at large. Maj
Richard G. Bond and Capt. 7. r. O'Rorke, In par
ticular. are eminently worthy OF such a complt
| ment. Neither of these gentlemen sought very
] earnestly for denomination, and both OF then
! did their utmost to elect the candidates of the
| party-especialy their own immediate successors
A more graceful and patriotic self-denial rarely
comes to the notice Of any man. They have showI
| themselves stauneh and sterling Democrats; ant
though every day and hour of their official caree
has been marked with integrity and ethciency
their last act clerk of court (when they turne'
over their records to their worthy successors) di
them the most honor and credit Their actor
will be treasured up, and fit opportunity takel
by their fellow citizens to show that 1t has beel
remembered and appreciated.
