Can no improvement of general interest be carried
out because Of insane opposition? Some parties
strenuously opposing the navigation of Mack's
and Cross bayous. Two three individuals are en-
deavoring to thwart the labors of company that
would vastly benefit more than thousand families in
Bossier and Arkansas and the whole of Shreveport.
Now is fact that those bayous navgabe streams,
that steamboats, have navgated them and that two
three acts of the Legislature have declared them
gable Therefore any distractions may be removed and
will be removed. And here we will delcately hint to
those threatening to raft those bayous that grand and
petit juries are institutions of this State.

MRS SsowE's' DEFENsE.-The Chicago Times pub
fishes the Introductory chapter of Mr.. Stoves new
book about Lord Byron, and makes these comments
We have for the paper of Mrs Stowe, but the
Times well sums up its contents.
SAYS the Times:
eve print elsewhere the Introductory chapter of
Mrs. Stoves forthcoming vindication of her True
Story of Lady Byrons Life The book itself is an
nounced for publication January 9Th. The intro
ducton brings to light simply repetition Of Mrs.
Stoves assertion that she published the original ar
tce because it she felt it to be her duty to
Vindicate the fame of Lady Byrou-the Guicciol book
and the Blackwood article being the only alleged pro-
vocations
One feature of this introduction will strike most
readers somewhat singular and this is the assertion
that Mrs. Stowe has read not of the bitter articles
that have been published in defense of Lord Byron
and Mrs. Leigh since her first article appeared and
this she calls an act of justice to the newspaper press
though confess that we cannot see the force OF
the application. Even admitting it to be an act of
justice, however, cannot how Mrs. Stowe can
make intelligent defense if she has failed to read
of the articles the subject which have deve-
oped many interesting, and in some cases. it strikes
u.s. unanswerable proofs of this falsty of this true
story -

WARMoTH ROASTED, SrEwED AND FRIED.--The Ne"
Orleans RulIetn in CONTROVERSY with the Times takes

WARMorH ROASTED, SrEwEp AND FRIED.--The New
Orleans Bulletin, in controversy with the Times takes
occasion to do up Warmoth in the following manner
We do not mean to affirm that Gov. Warmoth IS
officially corrupt but we do say that there are some
circumstances surrounding him which, until prop
erly explained, will afford ample room for conjectures
of all kinds. Here is young man in our midst VINO
report says, is living in princely mansion and ID
princeIy style. He drives fne carriage and costly
pair of horses. Every thing about his manner OF nv.
ing indicates not only comfortable MEANS but atuent
circumstances He has recently buta large and costly
manson-and some say costing eighteen thousand dol
lars others thirty thousand dollars without counting
price of ground.
Now the question is asked by business men and the
public generally, where does the Governor obtain the
means which appear to be at his command? Hecame
here mere adventurer; his first position of promi-
nence was one from which he was ignominiousy
elected by his military superiors. Next, in 1866 he
runs for Congress delegate from the Territory OF
Louisiana and was then poor that the negroes who
voted for him had to deposit with their ballots twenty
five cents to help deray his expenses to Washington.
He was not allowed to occupy seat in Congress. Next
we hear of him lawyer in this city; but in that
capacity his efforts seemed to have been principally di-
rected to defense of suits against bimself. OF a
criminal nature in case, and in another of civil
nature brought by his andlady for room rent. Since
his advent to the Governorshp bis salary has hardly
PNASt
would not account for bis rate ofiving We do there
FORE assert that the manner of Gov. Warmoths living,
taken in connection with the knowledge every pcs
of his utter want of when he came here,
affords grounds for suspicion And it to Us that
the Times ought to perceive that in relation to money
matters there possibly very little difference between
Warmoth and Wcklife; and that in other matters,
Wicklife is preferred by the people.
Again, in the specifications of charges made by the
Governor against the Auditor the most hagrant acts
of official mafeasance complained of involve the in
famous printing bill, of which Governor Warmoth was
the author and worked most zeaousy for its passage
He himself has derived the greatest profit from it, As
to the Pension Act he made that law, and when
called upon by the Auditor to correct its abuses re-
fused to do Why did he not veto these outrageous
bills that have been the cause of so much robbery Of
the State Treasury? If contemporary of the Times
will defend his Excellency against these and other
charges it would be satisfactory, and perhaps,
would be more effective in directing the Democrats,
whose political conduct just now, seems to be under
the special guardianship and control of the Times, if
take its threats as an evidence of its right to
speak for the party.
