Eg' On Saturday night Young Amer
lea, with full developed blackguardism,
were on the rampage through the
streets of Alexandria. They seemed
to enjoy it hugely and strived their ut
most to let every one know they were
drunk on mean whisky and had insur-
ed lungs. A friend at our elbow sug-
gests that poor fellows they should not
be held accountable for such conduct,
as they are nothing moro than natural
born idiots, and as they have no self
respect, they can certainly not be made
to respect the feelings of the commu-
nifty in which they are permitted to live.

" With the exception of twice
twenty -four hours, the past week in
the weather line, has been unusually
hot and clear. The thermometer has
frequently been up to 81 in the shade,
and certainly more desirable and vel
come weather could not be had for our
cotton planters. The exception we
allude to above, was certainly a re-
markable one for July. 1t was really
cool, dismal, chilly while it lasted, and
just the thing for the catapillars or the
yellow, fever, had either been about.
On the whole we are able to renew
our favorable reports of the crops of
Rapides. Tout "a bien, and we almost
think an average good cotton crop is
now secured and can be expected.
AS for the cane crop, that can be
considered dead certainty. We have
seen several stocks of cane with three
full red joints and little sweet at that.
Even the corn crop, not the best of
ones, is improving to the last and will
yield more than was anticipated three
weeks since.

unscrupulous demagogue. But look
upon these trades Unions as an institn-
ton better adopted to Europe than to
America. In their essence they partake
of the spirit of the protective OF pro-
hibitive tariff men. The President of
the Book binders Union, in q letter to
Mr.. Clapp, instead of objecting to the
introduction of negro apprentices, op-
posed the admission of any more boys
to learn the trade, on the ground that
there was not work enough for them
momentary gain to themselves at the
possible expense ofpoverty and trouble
to their children. Clapp. in answering
the communication, very adroitly puts
the Book binders in a false light. /

There has been going the rounds Of
the papers forthe last ten days what
parported ia be q copfessionM Charles
5effords in relatf6n 10 The Cunning
ham-Burde1 murder. M Jeffords
was imprisoned for the murder Of
Walton and Mathews and died while
in prison. Before his death he was
said to have made a long confession
that he alone with the consent of Mrs.
Cunningham, murdered DR.. Burdell
and gave the circumstances with a
good deal of minuteness. H
In the weekly Tribune Of the 23d
we find a communication ove the
signature of Robert d. Holmes the
senior counsel in the case of the State
VS.. Jeffords, who says that Jeffords
scarcely knew Mrs. Cunningham at
the time of the murder and was but a
mere child at that time and believes
him innocent of the murder Of Wal
ton and Mathews for which he was
convicted and sentenced, and Mr..
Holmes refers to A. Oakey Hall and
James Il. Brady now deceased as being
of counsel in the same case, and as en-
tanning the same opinion above ex-
pressed as to the guilt of Jefford. The
public are treated yearly to a confess
sion in this mysterious affair and as
often some one effectualIy cohtradicts
thesame.

In theS ST. Joseph Union we find a
resume of the report Of the Warden of
the Missouri Penetentiary from it we
learn that there are many a hundred
criminal in his dungeon to-day who
with acknowledge of common branches
studied in our schools would have
made an ornament to society. The
importance of educational advantages
is magnifi9d by the fact that fifty nine
per cent Of the convicts are between
the ages of sixteen and twenty five
years Ofage who have been drawn in
to crime for the first time perhaps,
simply because their ignorance only
fttedthem for the lower walks of life.p
This aceords with the opinion we have
often expressed in these columns, that
the State has one oftwo duties to per-
form either provide a system of thor
ough education for her youth or a more
extensive system of correction for her
middle aged. We must either learn
to live or live to learn. A we'll educa-

There are men who work to reduce
