More Literature Of the Lash.

Things appear to be coming to such
pass that the man OF woman who
hasn't tllrashcd, or attempted to thrash
his or her editor is inclined to fear that
popular opinion will set him or her
down as one of those unhappy persons
who have lived in vain. Lydia Thomp-
son is already out with the first edition
of her "Literature of the LASH" and
on Tuesday last Mr.. w W. Leland
laid the foundation for the fiji st edition
of his. 1t was on that day

may follow these examples. Well may
the preacher. in view of these facts,
say to the fourth estate, "See. then,
that ye walk circumspectly."
Mr.. George Wilkes. Mr.. Leland's
victim, is the editor ofthe Spirit of the
Times, and the guide. philosopher and
friend of the sports, bumm-rs and
dead-beats of New York. In his pa
per of last Saturday, he published a
long editorial article upon Leland, of
which the following is brief sample.

New York, and, adding beastly cowart ice
and brItishuess to his dishonesty, is dis,
countehanced even by his own brothers
for his cruel beatngs and kickings of a
wife who, in addition to being adorned
with every womanly virtue, has borne
him several children.
To read this, to arm himself with an
oak stick with heavy knob on the
end of il, and to go "walling down
Broadway" in search of somebody to

considerably, and was followed up by

DECENTRALIZATION OF THE PEOPLE,
Wherever we go, in New Orleans or in
the country. we see dePlorable signs Of
Generalization among the people cans
ed by Radical rule, and iniquitOus
laws.
Brides, threats, self-interest, timidi-
ty, laws made to punish honest men
and reward the unprincipled, rings,
trimmers, corporations and fossil pol
iticians join hand in hand to financial
ly ruin, and morally and politically,
degrade the State.
And the true friends of the State,
liks Moses of old, have to contend
against the Hittites, the Jehusites, the
Warmothites, the Wickliffeites, the
Ringites, the Congressites. and all the
other ties who are working to impov-
erish the State and undermine the gov
eminent. The political and financial
rats are undermining the walls Of the
temple which war could not batter
down.
But in our own Louisiana the most
melancholy feature of all is the fact
that too many of our own people, from
interest, or spleen, or worse motives,
secretly join hands with the corrupt
Radical officers to make money aud
hurt their neighbOrs. Shame on those
who thus prostitute their principles for
base and ign,,ble purposes! Shame on
those who, having pique at a neigh
Dor, and not the manlinrss to speak OF
it openly, should attempt to punish
him through Radical instrumentalities
Where are the true friends of the
honor, the peace, the dignity and vel.
fare of Louisiana? How many stand
square in the ranks, and are ready tt
fight il out on this line, regardless d
self interest, or the character and mag
nitnde of the opposition9 Honest
true, and brave men are wanted, mel
who have hearts, and who, feeling tina
they are right, do not fear the face 0
clay.
Such men are not scarce. If the,
will but organize and work together
/ they will in the end win, and save tin
State. And the State was never il
sucl, danger as it is now, not even dur
ing the war. Never did she call s
loudly, and in such tones of despair
for her friends to rally to rescue he
from degradation and ruin.-[ Frank

THE MAN THAT WOULDN'T BE
HANGED.--1'he fnlllawin. incident has
happened at FlrssinSue. in Holland: A
wife, exasperated by the continual
drunkenness of her husband, threaten
ed him with death. Some days ago
she attempted to put THIS threat into
execution. There was Amt an attic
above the sitting room. To this she
assembled, made hole in the floor, and
passed rope through it, one end of
which fell to the floor below, while the
file otha4 remained fastened in the
attic. She then descended, made a
slip-knof in the rope, and awaited her
husbands return. He ut last arrived
and was mich surprised to receive no
reproachcs on his bad conduct.
"There is something underland
here" thought he. 81 must see"
We must premise that this scene
took place in complete darkness. The
husband. whose suspicion were reused,
let himself fall into a chair and APP
peared 20 sleep profoundly. After
some snoring. he felt rope passe
around his neck. He then understood
the little trick that was to be played
him, but did not move. His wife went
mp to the attic, and taking advantage
of this noments respite, the drunkart
relieved himself OF his rope and fas.en.

soon went mp to the ceiling with /;

DoN,TwHrp A FRIGHTENED HORSE.

DON,sT WHIP A FRIGHTENED HORsE.-
Never whip your horse for becoming
frightened at any object by the road
side, for if he sees a stump, a log, or a
head of tan bark in the road, and while
lie is cycling it carefully and about to
pass it, you strike him with the whip,
II is the log, or stump or the bark
that is hurting him in his way OF
reasoning. and the next time lie will
act more frightened. Give him time
to examine and smell all these objects,
and use the war bride to assist yOu in
bringing him carefully to these objects
OF fear. Bring all objects, If possible,
to his hose, and let him smell of them,
and them yon can commence to gentle
him with them.

WALL STREET.
The Cornerin Cash Gold

New York, Oct. 13.-Wall street has
been in fever of excitement all day over
events in the Gold Room on the scheme
to make cash gold scarce and high. The
floating gold in the market is limited in
amount and is controlled by few parties
who see-saw to suit themselves and regu-
larry milk the shorts until the Government
steps in. To-day nearly four million dol
lars in gold was called in, but the bulk of
it was returned to circulation at high Dor
rowing rates. At one time borrowing
rates were run up to ! per cent, and the
price of gold to 1l4t,
At this juncture it was reported the
Bank of California had received permits
sion from the Treasury Department to
transfer one million dollars in gold from
San Francisco to New York, and also
that the Secretary would sell five million
tomorrow. This caused all the borrow
ing rates to disappear, and late in the
afternoon three per cent. was paid for
carrying gold, while the price ran down
to 1l3k.
These reports proved without fOunda-
ton. The Bank of California has obtain
ed permission to transfer one million of
gold from New York to San Francisco at
a commission of per cent. The first
installment of million has been paid in
to the Treasury here, to be paid out in
San Francisco. This operation of course
takes cash gold out of the open market
and locks il up in the Treasury. After
all the talk about this squeeze of cash
gold to-day only one million was actually
taken out of the market and not returned.
