THE FUTURE OF LOUISIANA.

Who doubts but what Providence has
ordained that Louisiana should be the
home of a prosperous, contented people? ?
Who has dwelt here short month, or a
period of years who has not enjoyed the
cline? Even our trees are gracefully
decked with moss, and the joyful birds
in great numbers spring lightly from
branch to branch, and in melodious song
give vent to their happiness.
For time slavery preyed upon our
strength, and our broad acres contributed
only to the erection of Mammon in our
sanctuaries. AS the Mississippi tide over
reaches the levees, the tide of war poured
over our borders and swept away the
iniquity. In the punishment of the evil
ones, some good men were compelled to
make sacrifices. But this is the result of
all wars. The sons of Louisiana are too
noble in stature, in mind and all the gen.
ereus attributes of manhood to harbor
petty feelings toward their fellow-men.
The sun gives its rays, not suddenly,
with overwhelming power to parch the
foliage, or Cypress the creatures who need
its light, but comes slowly up the horizon
and by degrees warns the atmosphere,
and prepares us to endure its heat. Truth
comes in this way to the minds of the
people.
'The manacle, chain and whip are only
preserved as relics Of by-gone times when
the scales of justice were outweighed by
the almighty dollar. Hundreds Of mar
tyrs have waeered the earth with their
blood. A great sacrifice has been offered
up to God, and. as He watches the sparrow
SO He watches His children upon the earth.
His decisions are always good. The power
of evil has been broken.
Peace is always winning and welcome
to the poor The rich sometimes harden
their hearts, but social ties and the knOwl-
edge of common destiny which inevita--
bly, awaits Ill men alike, humbles their
pride. .-.
Once more have the friends of humanity
marshaled their hosts to triumphant
victory. Their instrument, the Republic
can party, has received another lease Of
power They will use it well.
From out of the gloomy shadowings of
the past, emerges the future. Every human
being whose heart glows for the growth of
his country, and the content of his fellows
will now join in welcome greeting. The
laborer looks upon the work of the day
hopefully. The turning of the sod is no
longer thankless toll. He partakes of
the fruits, and esteems it privilege. The
story Of Cain will soon pass away from
their hearts; national Moses has laid
down his life on the mountain summit;
but the commandment to his followers is
yet urging them forward.
We are now promised iron bands Of
prosperity in the shape Of railroads; the
immigrant will give US his sinews; COM
merce will send her floating palaces in
greater numbers along our highways and
by-ways; the architect will erect temples
worthy Of our age to receive her tribute;
church spires viii rear their heads for no
cognition; while the merry school children

MANUFACTURING PUBLIC OPINION

When the intelligence first reached us
of the riots at Baton Rouge and Donald
sonville, We published such accounts as
came to US by way of news. Since the
prisoners have been arraigned before the
United States Commissioners, we have
preferred to let the constituted authori-
ties take charge of the CASE We do not
feel called upon to attempt to manufac.
ture public sentiment in favor Of anybody,
nor yet against anybody. We merely in
sist that the guilty parties shall be pun
ished, whoever they are. It is for the
court and the witnesses to find them out.
And because witness one day contradicts
the testimony of one who testified the day
before, we are not ready to make up our
minds, or inform the public, that the pre-
vious testimony was false and tine last a
true story. The Times, on the contrary,
has apparently set UP theory of its own
upon the subject, and when witness is
brought up who can be prevailed upon to
testify with leaning to the side espoused
by the Times, we are treated next morn
ing with jubilant 81 told you so" On
Sunday and Monday mornings our con-
temporary sums up the testimony of
witness or two, whose dispositions are tor
tured into a complete refutation of the
first accounts published by the REpuB-
L1cAN. We are furthermore asked. to say
that all that We have published on the
subject is false, while the Times got the
only true side of the story. Before COM
plying with this modest request, we shall
await the result We hope the truth will
come out-not only as to who did the
shooting and stabbing in Donaldsonville
and Baton Rouge, but also as to who put
the ball Of riot in motion by attempting
to take the ballot boxes out Of the hands
of the SupervisorsDof Election. The men
who seized the ballot boxes and thus inau-
gurated riot and interference with the con-
stituted authorities are the guilty parties,
and they are deserving Of condign punish
ment. They must be held to an account.
As for the murder of Mayor Schcnberg
and Judge Laws, we have seen nothing
in the circumstantial testimony to break
down the direct evidence. If a jury shall
decide differently, or enough light can be
thrown upon the subject to exculpate the
parties who are now believed to be re-
sponsible for this double murder, we
shall not fail to let the public know the
fact at once, without any prompting from
the Times. In the meantime we shall not
endeavor> to make public opinion in adj
vance

Is Judge McCuun, of New 1O1K, VINO mas
the bad reputation Of being Democratic
| partisan of the most radical and unreason-
able sort, has set Louis E. Granger at lib
erty. The pretense was that prisoner can
not be held on information received by tele-
graph. The real reason is given by
Crescent" the special correspondent Of
the Times. ssThe counsel for Granger
charged that his only offense was know
ing too much of the Manifestations Of the
Louisiana State government. This ale
cation by a Toombs lawyer was deemed
sufficient by Judge McCunn, Had the
INSCRIPTIONS attorney informed the court
that his client was Wilkes Booth, escaping
from justice after the assassination of
President Lincoln, the judge would prob
ably have taken the Democratic view Of
the law of the case, and released the pris-
oner with words of encouragement.
There may be an improperly in detain-
ing prisoner upon information received
by telegraph beyond the shortest time
necessary for the arrival of further EVIL
dence But We have cases every day in
which detentions are ordered. Some Of
the most important events in the world
are controlled by telegraph. Armies are
marched and countermarched criminals
are pardoned; millions of money paid,
and ships sent on their voyages or stopped
at the will of the controlling powers. The
orders are not disputed because sent by
telegraph. But here is case of misera-
BILE forger, trying to escape from justice.
The New York police, according to Gus
tom, lock him up to wait till those who
want him can come up. The fugitive en-
ploys cunning, INSCRIPTIONS attorney,
who is well acquainted with old Judge
McCunn's weak side. He invents the
fable about Granger and his knowledge of
affairs in Louisiana, which has the desired
effect. All the Copperhead in old Nc
Gums nature is aroused, and instead of
deciding as an honest judge would have
done, that Changers counsel had afforded
additional grounds for OBTAINING the pris-
oner, to assist in bringing the Louisiana
civil authorities to justice, he orders his
release and bids him God-speed to Canada
or some other place of safety.
1t is an old trick of the Democracy to
raise cloud of dust to cover the escape
of prisoners when they think political
capital can be made. Our city papers
to this method in the Wickliffe
case A Democratic criminal court aided
in the work and the prisoner was dis
charged, not because anybody believed he
was not guilty, but because the Bee, the
Bulletin, and the Times constantly reiter-
ated the falsehood that Governor War
moth was as culpable as the accused
Judge McCunn has done in New York
what, our criminal court did here. He
has released man charged with crime
because an irresponsible Democratic at
torney falsely alleged that some high
officers in neighboring State were guilty
Of malversation, and Granger knew all
about it. We suppose the next charge
brought against the Republican party will
be that it permitted Granger to commit
forgery and theft, ana failed to bring him

BIEyvILLE On WORKS
New Orleans, November %, 1870 !
Charles Cavaroc Esq., President Barbarin Gas Light
ing Company:
DEAR NR-It is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus placed in
my Oil Works on Benville street, since five weeks
have given me.
Here enclosed You will find detailed report,
which will show YOU the economy which results
from the use Of your gas.
have been able to ascertain with correctness
saving OF sixtyone and three-quarters per cent on
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some of my pipes
which were placed several years ago, are too
small, and, notwithstanding this defect the light
all over my works is bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the Earring caused by the
working of the machines night and day, and the
immense length of the gas pipes, consider the re.
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
Believe me, dear sir, your obedient servant

During the month of December 1862 twenty -four
gasburners used; twenty three nights of work
constituted that month, and the New Orleans Gas
Companys bill amounted to $50 CO. MY oil works
if that number had been in use last December, the
New Orleans Gas Company's bill would have been
500 IS instead OF $50 60.
From Monday, November H. to Monday Novem-
Der 81, six regular working nights twentyeisht
gallons of oil were used in the Barbaria apparatus

Twenty-three nights would therefore cost S31 SC
and consequently constitute saving of $50 50 on
the New Orleans Gas Company's bill paid in Dc
cember 1869.
If on 500 Is there is an economy of $50 So $500
will produce $6l 80 or 6la4 per cent.
