The Emperor certainly made demand
for truce, first by letter, then came in per

The news that the Emperor and McMahon
had capitulated was received here with the
most prodigious enthusiasm. Thousands OF
people thrOnged the streets this morning,
in ranks, with their arms linked, singing
patriotic songs, and shouting and exhibit

singing crowd assembled before the palace,
when, in response to the cheering. the
Queen appeared and made short address.

Governor Warmoth.

We reproduce the following editorial
from the Homer HAD:
We have been assured, both by himself
and through others, that it is the intention
of our distinguished chief executive to visit
our parish pending the approaching general
election. When last in New Orleans, he
assured us it was his purpose to deliver
public address in the town OF Homer some
time before the November election. We
feel that our citizens. irrespective OF party.
will be glad to hear this. They will evi-
IDENTIFY be pleased at the opportunity of
meeting and seeing their chief executive.
and knowing for themselves what man
ner of man he is-in looks and department,
at least. And we predict in advance that
they will be pleased-will be most agreeably
disappointed. And why! Simply because
they have, through the false and systemati-
cally unfair representations of his more
active political opponents, been deceived as
to Governor Warmoth both as to the per
sonalities of the man and his political
views and purposes. They will now hardly
believe us when we assure them that Henry
Clay Warmoth is not only among the nnest
looking Of men, but really one of the most
accomplished gentlemen in manners and
style to be found anywhere: but when they
see him, they will not only find this all to
be true, but they will also be astonished to
ulScoNbT, With lHcf uc.t1 AAiH HpC"h; eh'tc
he mas no political views or purposes at all
necessarily detrimental to the public good.
We saysnecessarily detrimental, because
men are so prcjudiced against their political
opponents that they are prone to'think their
views detrimental to the public good, with
out IA fair and impartial inyestigation-and,
often, by their unreasonable opposition and
perverseness, force evil or public hardships
out Of measures which, otherwise, would
bring universal peace and prosperity.
All that Governor WarmOth wants, and
all that the decent men of his party want is
a fair and impartial investigation before the
people, and then, what is found to be error
and detrimental to the general welfare of
the country, can be forsaken and changed
for something better.
We trust and believe that our citizens en-
masse will extend a hearty greeting to Gov
ernor Warmoth on his visit among US, and
we predict that his few pestiterous oppo-
nents in New Orleans will be shamed-if
they have any sense of shame left-to see
how manly opponent and a gentleman is
appreciated by the honest and incorruptib!c
masses of the rural districts

The WASHINGTON Repu6licap SAYS:


A comparative statement has inst been
completed of the number of stamps pur-
chased under the internal revenue laws.
during the fiscal wears 1869 and 1870, from
which it appears that the total number Of
adhesive stamps ordered in 1869, for docu-
ments, etc. was one hundred and eighteen
millions. valued ut twelve millions one
hundred and twentv-One thousand dol
lars. For 1870 the number ordered was
one hundred and thirty million three
hundred thousand, valued at twelve mil
lions and ifty-six thousand dollars, a fall
ing off of sixty-four thousand dollars. The
increase in the sale of the number OF stamps
was entirely among those of the lower de-
nominations. The falling off in the receipts
was from those of the higher denominations.
Greater attention seems TO have been paid TO
the stamping of receipts and checks, the in
crease of this class alone being over nine mil
lion stamps. The business done in patent
medicines, etc, can be Judged by the sale of
proprietary stamps, which for 1869 were two
hundred and siXty-nne millions, valued at
three million seven hundred and forty thou
sand dollars, and for 1870 the number sold
was nearly three hundred millions, valued
at four million one hundred and seventy two
thousand dollars. an increase of four hun
dred and thirty-fiyc thousand dollars.
The increase in the sales of stamps made
by the American Photographic Company
and imprinted in the documents, was two
hundred thousand dollars The aggregate
gain in the stamps sold in 1870 over 1869,
was in actual figures tive hundred and sixty
eight thousand and eighty-one dollars.
