The Printers Hohenlinden

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow.
A few supplies keep up the flow
OF dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn to night,
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed;
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats of law and chancery
Then to despair we're almost driven,
Tkere's precious little use of living,
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Length ming our chm a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
'Tis so, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay feroeiously.
The prospect darkens-on, We brave
Who Would our very bacon save;
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive
And pay the Printer cheerfully.
Ali it would yield us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of us a clear receipt,
j For papers taken reg larly.

A Suggestive Item.

We clip this from the Picay-

go has been built up, and is
now going ahead with steady
and triumphant trapidity. Twen-
ty-fye thousand people are an
nually added to its population,
Yet, Chicago is a most dismal
place to live in. It's site is
something like a natural quag-
mire-cold and wet, with alter
nate layers of mud and ice for
half the year upon which the
keen cutting blasts sweep from
the Northeast across Lake
Michigan, piercing to the very
joints and marrow of ones
bones, and making them crack
with the horrors ofrheumatism,
East of the Chicago river, the
mud which constitutes the road
bed of the streets is covered
with planks, which rattle as We
hicles pass frriously over them
like the discharge of a whole
park of artillery. The side
walks are of the same material
These planks, however, will
soon be pushed out of the way
the road beds will be raised,
and he who visits Chicago in d
! year or two from this present
writing will see the whole city
well paved with the best kind
of material that can be had.-
The temporary arrangements
as to paving and side walks de

journals, and as the selection OF
these heretofore has been confin-
ed to the exponents Of Radicalism,
and as these, except the Republi-
can published in New Orleans,
have a very limited circulation, it
results that the laws have not re-
ceived such a publication as
amounts, in fact, to a promulga-
tion. And hence a degree ofigno-
rance as to the law, unknown
heretofore in the history of the
State. How very few people in
this parish, for instance, know
anything of the extent Of the ju-

eral disfavor, that the new court

even now, after an organization of
several months, its jurisdiction is
unknown to the mass of the peo.

THE Monarchists have certainly got the upper
hand in Spain, and there is scarcely shadow
OF a doubt that they will succeed in carrying
out their ideas and in placing their candidate
upon the throne. The Republicans, however,
are growing stronger and more discontented
every day, while the lawless Glasses who
belong to neither party, and who delight in
the opportunities for plumber and outrage that
the present unsettled state OF affairs affords
them, are getting bolder and more aggressive,
so that whoever is placed at the head
of affairs, whether King or President,
will have difficult task before
him. II is wonderful, however, that in.a
country like Spain there should have been SO
few serious disturbances, with all the oppor-
tunities that have been afforded by the daily
ing policy Of the Provisional Junta and the
want of confidence that is felt towards some OF
the revolutionary leaders. The real difficult
ties Of reconstruction, however, will COM
menee when the form of government has been
decided upon, and it is scarcely possible that
any of the candidates who have been named
for the throne will be entirely satisfactory to
the large and powerful party that is now in
sistng with fiery energy upon the final over
throw Of the old order of things and the esta-
blishment of the largest liberty.
General Prim hes announced in the Consti-
tuent Cortes that the Monarchists have
decided upon their candidate for the throne,
and that his name will shortly be made pub
lie. From recent indications, there can be
very little doust that the Duke de Montpen-
sier is the successful candidate, and on many
accounts this choice is, perhaps, the most
judicious that could be made, if Spain must
have king. 1t is to be hoped that if he does
ascend the throne he will learn something
from the mistakes of his predecessors and the
signs of the times, and will devote his energies
to promoting the welfare and honor of the
country rather than to the personal aggran-
dizement Of himself or his family.
It is said that the draft of the new constitu-
tion to be submitted to the Cortes establishes
complete social and religious liberty, but re-
tains Catholicism as the religion Of the State.
1t would be better if the Government had the
courage to sever the connection with the
Church altogether, for it has been priestcraft,
more than any other influence, that has re-
tarded the advancement. Of Spain in the march
of civilization. Such a severance, how
ever, is perhaps too much to expect in a
country where the devotion of the great mass
of the people to one Church is SO strong; and
we can only hope that the friends of liberty
and education will exert themselves to the
utmost to prevent Spain from relapsing into
the darkness from which she now appears to
be emerging.

The New collector of the Port.
% emerging

THE nomination by President Grant of the
Hon. Henry D. Moore to be Collector of the
Customs for the port OF Philadelphia cannot
fail to give universal satisfaction to that por-
tion Of the community having business trans
actions with the Custom House, while it will
be equally satisfactory to all who desire to see
the position filed by thoroughly honest
and capable man. His nomination to the
Office will unquestionably be ratified by the
Senate, and he will be enabled to enter at
once upon the discharge of his duties, thereby
finally disposiDg OF one of the yexed questions
in our local politics.
Mr.. Moore is still in the prime of life, and
good share OF his time has been devoted to a
faithful service OF the public in various posi-
tiOns Of importance. He was for some time a
member OF the State Legislature, served
during three full terms as State Treasurer,
and frem 1849 to 1853 was a member of
Congress from one of the city dis
tricis. In all these positions he dis
charged the duties incumbent upon
him with entire acceptability to the
people. As State Treasurer he was especially
successful, having, during his term of Office,
negotiated at par SO, O0O, 900 loan, at a time
of great financial depression.
During the war Mr.. Moore made very en-
Viable record. No man in the country exhi-
bited more sterling quality OF patriotism,
and no one contributed more literally to the
support ofthe Government in every possible
way. In view Of this record and his public
services, his appointment to the Collectorship
is not only guarantee OF a faithful admins
tratiOn of the affairs of the Office, but fitting
and well deserved reward.

THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE evidently does not
desire an entire restoration of the State to
all it's former privileges in the Union. The
lower house has ratified the universal suffrage
amendment, but in the Senate its oonsidera-
tion was indefinitely postponed by the cast
ing vote OF the President. Doubtless tha.
official had not yet heard that General Butler
has been appointed Chairman of the House
Committee on Reconstruction. If the Georgia
Legislature sees fit to continue in its present
refractory course, its members will in time
discover how serious is the mistake they are
making.
