A Radical administration paper published
somewhere in the North, laments A. I. Stew
arts exclusion from Grants cabinet on the
ground that the presidents wife is excessively
fond of Mrs. Stewards company, and that she
is very much disappointed because the great
dry goods Mogul and his better half will not,
as they intended, take up their residence in
Washington. The idea that any member of
the Radical persuasion should have refused to
crafty Mrs. Grants wishes is this particular,
seems revolving to the mind of that "trooly
loil" toady. To snub Grant was bad enough,
he thinks, but TO disregard Mrs. Grants often
expressed wishes in the matter is something
little short of disloyalty.

Since the Warmoth- Wickliffe imbroglio,
gambling houses are springing up in our

ances, whilst there can be no doubt that New

casinos than all the other cities of the world

extremely net ulous w

The country viii not soon forget the fero-
cious war waged by the Radical papers and
politicians upon the .'my policy" of President
johnson. 1t was shrewd in Grant, as the
low game of politics goes, when he saw john
son and his policy both go under, to declare
with the stress of many repetitions that if
president, he ''would have mo policy of his
own opposed to the people"-meaning in
'trooly loil" Interpretation, no policy of his
own opposed to the policy Of the Radical par
ty. Well, at least in one case, he has, &C
cording to all accounts, broken this promise
in both its senses, and a leading organ of his
own party plainly tells him so. We refer to
the postmastership at Cincinnati, touching
which the Cincinnati Gazette says: "The ap-
pointment of Thomas H. Foulds as postmas-
ter for this city was yesterday ordered. Gen.
eral Grant made up his mind some time ago
TO give the Office to Mr.. Foulds, and adhered
to his purpose against the almost unanimous
protest of our citizens, who desired the reten-
ton of Mr.. Thomas because he had proved
himself model officer. 1t is to be regretted
that the president had, in this case, policy
of his own opposedto the policy of the peo-
ple" 1t appears thatthe people and press OF
Cincinnati, without distinction of party, in-
dorsed the fidelity and efficiency of the pres
emit postmaster for that city, and earnestly de-
sired his continuance, and there was no pop
ular demand for his removal in any other part
of the country. This is but straw. perhaps;
but it is q straw that shows more significance
than consistency in the direction Of the ex-
ecutive mind.

The House committee on elections has re-
ported in favor Of seating Sheldon, the per-
son who. on the strength of two or three
thousand negro votes, pretends to represent
about fifteen thousand white voters of the
second congressional district of this State.
This, however, does not settle the case-it
merely makes Mr.. Hunt the contestant.
Nevertheless it is very probable chat Sheldon
will finally get the seat, on the ground that
if he was not elected, he ought to have
been ufa

Our young friend Otis Harris, OF the firm of

former experience. and as the creamy nectar was

The contest between our various officials Of
the judiciary and executive departments is
becoming highly interesting. What, between
charges and counter charges, arrests and

If every prominent individual connected with
the administration of affairs here should be
locked up in the Parish Prison, we hope our
people will endure the catastrophe with Chris

Fenton is now accused of taking bride

that he took it but then he did not become
indignant at his associates and turn an in

his Office. Fenton never graduated as car

II ia the time when birds are calling
Each to his mate, his sweetheart mate,
When airs are sweet with blossoms falling,
And spring is waxing warm and late;
And care Is grown heavy thralling,
That keeps me from my fair estate.
For in the old familiar places
Doth Nature list, for me doth list
And in the woods untrodden spaces,
Are pathways where my feet are missed,
And little starry flower faces
That watch for me TO keep tryst.
Sweet valleys that the sky stoops over,

Remembering charms none else will see.

New INTERPRETATIoN-P of
curious turn of mind will be interested
to know that an eminent Hebraical schol-
ar of Cincinnati has written review of
the history cf the Omniic autograph, or
name of the Almighty as written by the
Deity and deposited in the Ark of the
Covenant. Many singular statements
are advanced in this treatise, but what is
most important to us will be found in the
remarks on the meaning of the name.
The Specification presented in the Scrip
lures is, s'I am that ann" conveying
the idea of actual existence, literally and
fguratively, omniscient creative power.
According to the writer referred to, the
true meaning of the ineffable word (which
was composed of three letters) was, Il
am what Cor that) have always been, !,
expressing the idea of eternity in dei6c
existence, as well as infinite lite giving
principle and power to impart the same.
This agrees thoroughly with the history
Of all the.language spoken to man by his
Maker, face to face, or through the
prophets and inspired writer's.
