From the Italian correspondence OF the
New York Tribune we gather and throw to-
gether some items about Rome and Victor
Emanuel's kingdom.
The subjects of the Pope are about equally
divided into three classes: Ist. Those who,
from principle or interest, are devotedly At
tached to the maintenance of bis temporal
sovereignty. I'd. His bitter aud avowed en-
emies. Sd. Those who are ready to 60 with
the tide either for or against according as the
star Of Plus TX, or Victor Emanuel /. seems
to be 10 the ascendant.
In the FIRST category are comprised the res
ident nobility and the working classes Of
Rome, the peasants, properly so-cailed, and
few of the tradespeople Of the metropolis.
In the second come the lawyers, and the great
majority of the merchants and shop keepers
of the provincial towns and of the city itself
The Inhabitants Of the rural districts, OIL
small proprietors, notconnected with any o.
the learned professions, make up the third
GLASS. These last are timid and afraid O
compromising themselves in any movemeat
NO matter BY whom iuausuraied, but will q
ways be ready to sing loud anthems Of praie,
to the victor. Even among the enemies o.
the temporal power" there is not perfec,
harmony, for while the intelligent and am
bilious desire union to the Kingdom 81 Italy
the lower classes wish for Republic.
The garrison Of Rome numbered only 500
men when Garibaldi made his attack. The
situation throughout the Kingdom 10 deplor
able.
The working classes are suffering fearful,
from the increased price Of the commences
necessaries of life; fancy paying twenty-five
centimes for every twelve ounces of salt;) d
the enormous house rents, and the absence O
all corresT onding increase in wages. The
commercial classes are moody and despair
ing; no one cares to embark capital in an,
italian scheme, a. Italy herself may 70 L
pieces" and the agricultural classes are over
sheimed by the summons to conscripts rang

snticed, it is said, BY agents Of the sou.her,
planters, who require white slaves, now tha
the blacks have escaped them.
When the year began Italy had spent 200,
ooo,ooo in order to create, organize ans
maintain an army and navy sufficient to ena
BILE her to take and to hold her own. Liss,
and Custozza had taught her that for an,
such purpose neither army nor navy wer,
sufficient; Inundated but hopeful, trusting to
promises Of economy and reform, she looked
for better things at the years end, and end,
herself with no army at all, compelled IL

How TIMES AND MEN CHANGE.-Sey-
eral years ago, a certain young United
States officer was wild-and as unpopu-
lar among his army comrades as he was
reckless. During the great Crystal Pal
ace exhibition, in New York city, he dis
tinguished himself by riding horse into
hat store, and performed several other
feats which at last brought him to
court-martial. The court assembled at
Fortress Monroe, the officer was tried
and the findings given, but not publish
ed-'guilty OF conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman" Informed Of the
findings, and anticipating its approval,
the Captain, for such he was, went at
once to Washington, called upon the Sec
retary of War, and made frank state
ment of his case. He acknowledged his
fault, but said that if punished by the
court in the manner he expected, he
would be forever disgraced. In eonsid-
Grafton of his position as an officer. and
the circumstances connected with his
family, he begged permission to resign.
The Secretary of War informed him that
such thing as a resignation after char
ges had been preferred was unheard of
III the annals OF military law, and con-
trary to the rule and practice of the SER
vice. But the officer begged on, and f.
nally the Secretary yielded; the resigna-
tion was allowed, and the soldier be-
came civilian and merchant. That off,
Ger was General Ulysses s. Grant, and
the Secretary of War was ex-Presiaent
Jefferson Davis. These are the facts as
they Were related to us by an officer of
the Q. S. army Charleston News.

Mr.. Erarts Pressed on the Pres;de,t

4Hr. Erdfts Pressed on The President.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The New
York politicians have been very active
OF late. 1t is understood that they have
pressed Mr. Evarts with great earnest
ness upon the President as successor to
Mr. Seward. Mr.. johnson is averse to
the change, but the pressure is consider
able, and he may be obliged to submit.
i he report is quite current tonight that
EVarts will be Secretary of State, and
Groesbeck Secretary Of the Treasury, in
place OF McCulloch. If this latter be
true, and do not doubt that it is well
founded, it will be decided point in
MIR. Pendleton's favor.
Letter from j. Q. Adams.
A letter has been received by promi-
nent Democratic member of Congress
now In Washington from young John
Quincy Adams of Massachusetts. from
which L make the following extracts:
Il can say,' writes Mr.. Adams, ''in re-
spect to the mention of my name in con
nectlon with the second place on the
Democratic ticket to be selected bv the
Fourth OF July convention, that am an
for no office under the sun.
My course at home has been dictated bv
the most disinterested obligations of du-
ty and preference. | feel that the acci-
dent OF birth has thrust me upon
the public attention rather before nv
time; and also that this prominence,
connected with the accident of birth. in
wolves great deal of certain kind of
responsibility. If | can aequit myself
creditably under these circumstances,
and come off with all the old family hon
ors free OF tarnish, | shall be content, |
and the Vice Presidency may find some |
one worthier and more anxious than my
self" 1t is the general belief that !
Adams will be nominated by acclama-
ton it Pendleton is nominated for the /
first place

The States at Liberty to Control
Suffrage Notwithstanding
the Prohibition.

The New York Times, of Fri
day, in an article upon the "Path
of Peace" takes the same ground
that we did on or about the same
day, to-wit: that the ''fundamen-
tai condition" laid down by Con-
gress is practically a mere hum
bug-a dead letter-and the re-
constructed States, when they
come into the Union, will come
invested with the full powers over
the suffrage and all other ques-
tions, possessed by any other
States of the Union. Says the
Times:
Assuming, then, that interfer-
ence by force will be avoided, the
people of each Southern State
will be at liberty to call new Con-
ventions, frame new Constitu-
tions, and regulate their suffrage
and all other domestic affairs, ac-
cording to their own ideas. They
will come into practical possession
of this right by their admission
to the Union for when they
come back, they come as States,
and have all the rights of other
States. There can be no such
thing under the Constitution as
an inequality of State rights.
What one State may do, any
other State may do. South Caro-
lima will have the same control
over its own affairs as New York
or Massachusetts. Georgia will
have the same right to make a
new Constitution as Connecticut
or Ohio. No act of Congress can
affect this right-either to abridge
or enlarge it, or to fetter or con-
troll its exercise. ANY provision
claiming to do this is nugatory.
The assumption that admission is
conditional, and that it becomes
null ii the condition is violated,
has no foundation in constitu-
tional law or in experience. No
State can make conditions of ac-
cession to the Union, nor can the
National Government impose and
enforce conditE IONS upon any State.
All the States of the Union are
equal in their powers and their
rights.
Byre-entering the Union, there
fore, under the Reconstruction
Laws, the Southern States gain in
theory precisely what they say
they Want-deliverance from mill,
tary authority, and control of
their own affairs. They can, if
they choose, modify the elective
franchise, changing the qualifca-
tions required, and the manner of
its exercise, in their own discre-
tion. They will see abundant
reason, we do not doubt, for not
making, when the time comes,
the changes which they threaten
now-but the power will be in
their own hands.
Well, all this is too plain for
dispute, and no palmer because
it is admitted and maintained by
a leading organ of the Grant tparty
like the New York Times. But
we would like to ask the Times to
answer for the Grant party, and
tell us, il all this be true, why did
the Radicals in Congress attempt
so bold an imposition as this fun
damental guarantee clause. Why, ii
again, did the Grant Convention
indorse and repeat it, knowing it
to be mere bosh and nonsense !?

The Opelousas courier. [volume] (Opelousas, La.) 1852-1910, 1868-07-04

To DESTROY THE Boil WORM.-We
procured eighteen common-sized dinner
plates, into each of which we put half a
gill of vinegar and molasses, ,apreviously
prepared In the proportion of four parts
of the former TO one of the latter. These
were set on small stakes or poles driven
into the ground in the cotton field, one
to about each three acres, and reaching
o little above the cotton plant. with a
SIX inch square board tackled ON the top
TO receive the plate. These arrangements
were made in the evening soon after tile
flies had made their appearance. The
next morning we found eighteen to
twenty live moths to each plate.-The
experiment was continued for five or six
days, distributing the plates over the en-
tire field, each days success increasing.
until the number was reduced to two or
three moths to each plate, wien it was
abandoned as being no longer worthy
of the trouble. The crop that year was
but very little injured by the boil worm.
The flies were caught in their eagerness
to feed upon the mixture by alighting
into itand being unable to escape. They
We're probably attracted by the odor of
the preparation, the vinegar probably
being an important agent in the matter.
As the flies fed only at night. the plates
should be visited late every evening, the
insects taken out, and the vessels re-
p,enisiieG as circumstances may require
nave tried the experiments with results
equally satisfactory, and shall continue
u until better one is adopted
