A HINT TO THE DOMINION. The General
Court of Massachusetts proposes to resolve
''that it will cordially sympathize with all
those who favor the union of the British North
American provinces with the government and
people of the United States" This is perhaps
too late to comfort the Fenians, who no doubt
would have adopted such purpose for the
sake OF sympathy, but it may be taken in
Canada as indicating tendency.

THE FOURTH WARD TRAaEDY.-The pro-
motion Of Burke, the policeman, who shot q
man in fracas in the Fourth ward the other
night, is pretty clear expression on the part
of the Commissioners of their opinion that the
act was one of praiseworthy readiness, and
not of precipitate brutality. The whole cha
racter of the act depends upon what sort of
man it was that was killed He is repre-
sented on one hand as a peaceful, if not sober
citizen, and an the other as rufaan of the
worst sort. On point of this kind the word
of the police may safely be taken, and this
fully justifies the shooting.

CAPTAIN EYRE, by whose reckless inhu-
manity or stupidity, it matters not which, the
whole crew of the Oneida was sent to the bot
tom, thought it cruel that he was punished by
six months ''leave of absence for that, after
all, was about the amount of his sentence. He
has been appealing against it, therefore, ever
since, and finally induced the directors of the
company to which his steamer belonged to say
good word for him, in an address to the
Lords of the Admiralty, through the Board of
Trade. The Board of Trade replied to Mr..
Eyre that his sentence, &C so far from being too
severe, is more lenient than the gravity of the
offence required" Eyre will understand,
therefore, by this time, that he did not perform
an altogether praiseworthy act in cutting
down damned Yankee frigate."

appointed as cadet to West Point It
was his right to be so appointed unde7 the
law which makes him citizen The
Democratic press, from one end Of the
country to the other, at once s.raddled
the question. In the first place, the Dem
ocracy was delighted that niger had
been sent to West Point, as It would at
once degrade the academy and the white
cadets, just as Congress was to be de-
graded by sending "nigsers as repre-
sentatives. Smith went to West Point IN
the usual course of events, and was
quietly accepted as other cadets would
have been. West Point kept cool and
held her head level This enraged the
Democrats, who saw peace where they
looked Tor war, They hoped the ca
diets would kick the niger" ont.
as they would have done; but the cadets
had their studies to attend TO, and they
were better trained than to be kicking out

no better business than to be hauling up

they straddled. They did not know
whether to feel good because West Point
had been degraded by the niger" or to
feel bad because the ''nigger" had been

an outrage Now they are calling the

The talk on Carondelet' is that the

more business having been done in the

the Board of Brokers last evening. The

and the pulse Of the market was pretty
well felt Owing to some fines imposed
on two members for selling, or pretending
to sell, some Barbarin Gas Light stock at
a much higher rate than other ouoted

talk and looking up of rules and by

BE SURE TO VOTE,

Let every Republican go to the polls on
Monday and vote surely and certainly. 1t
is the end of the fight if this election set
ties the question of universal suffrage in
Louisiana. The Democrats say the peo-
pie are opposed to the Republican party.
The meaning Of this is that the white peo-
pie are opposed to the Republicans. They
do not count the cOlored people at all. 1t
is time to have done with this nonsense.
One more defeat will teach them that
''niggers are people. Let them be taught
that lesson on Monday. Every vote that
swells the Republican majority will be a
nail in the coffin Of prejudice. Let it be
nailed up so tight that nothing can ever
resurrectit. No man can afford to lose this
last chance to better his utter condemna-
ton of that unreasoning hate which has
prosecuted an entire race Of peaceable and
well-disposed people. Let none dismiss
the opportunity with giving parting
blessing to the prejudice which is about
to be kicked ont

PEACE IN EUROPE.

European intelligence is OF a peaceful
character. Gold in New York is a good
barometer, and it is rapidly declining in
price. The armistice which has been
| agreed upon between France and Prussia
is the prelude to a final settlement There
Will be no further war Of an organized
character, for Prussia will now find a
government with which she can make
peace, and when the treaty IS signed she
will withdraw and allow the French to
settle their troubles among themselves.
She will either insist on holding .Alsace
and Lorraine, or she will stipulate these
two States shall be set up as a separate
nationality under the protection Of
Europe. If she demands indemnity
in money it will be reduced to a very
small amount, and the payment will be
arranged so as to make it secure. 1t may
be that the friendly powers viii be called
in to enforce the treaty, and to uphold
the government that makes It. On the
conclusion OF such treaty German
army Of observation will probably be
stationed on the Rhine and combined
arrangement viii be made with Italy,
Austria, Belgium ard Great Britain, TO
enforce order and good government il
France, which is now distracted by
dozen struggling factions The p-lssian
force on the Rhine will be at hand to
maintain the treaty so far as
Alsace and Lorraine are concerned,
and contingent will probably be supplied
from the adjoining States to restore and
maintain order, on behalf Of the govern
ment at Paris. France has had to submit
to this kind Of treatment once before. and
in the present disordcred condition of the
country, the most responsible portion Of
the people viii at once accept the inter-
vention rather than be RENTED to the ten
der mercies Of the revolutionists who are
now robbing Marseilles and threatening
good order even at Paris itself.
The Prussian demand will be such that
calamities Of France have been so great
that she ought 70 be treated generously
by the German Emperor. Her internal
disorders appeal to Europe for a remedy.
Prussia can assist now in healing the dis
asters which she has inflicted. And it is
her interest to leave good and capable
government where she found a system
full of rottenness and corruption The
lesson of defeat will operate powerful
corrective to that sentiment Of national
vanity which made France weak at home.
while she was arrogant and ovegbeanng
toward her neighbors. And, as a corclu-
sion, the terrible results Of this war will
teach all Europe that there is more virtue
in relying on an intelligent people han
on large standing army.

HIRING LABOR AND VOTES.

The Planters Banner, after having
courted the colored people without MAX
ing any impression, now declares that it
is useless to discuss political matters to
them. When the devil quotes Scripture
the congregation had better keep after
the text, instead Of the preacher. Den
nett says some good things, but he can
not help doing some very bad ores, and
when the people compare bis precepts
with his practices, they accept the one
and reject the latter. Only three months
ago, the Attakapas oracle was applauding
the good sense of the colored people in
keeping to their work with faithfulness
and honesty.
To-day it declares that if these same
colored people vote for the Republican
ticket the white people will accept that as
an act Of natural enmity, and Will here
after refuse to employ them. What mex
cusable stupidity! Who is the most in
dependent man, ne who has the labor or
he who wants it? VIII Attakapas farmers
refuse to employ colored men because
they can no. hire the colored mans vote?
If they 90, who is to suffer? Other men
will hire them, and other men Will make
this bargain with them, that work is one
thing and voting another, and in this
country every man is the master Of his
own vote Mister bennett is doing one
thing which he probably does rot intend
to do. He IS teaching the colored people
to work for themselves. He is teaching
them to be independent of this regular
interference with their rights by men that
employ their labor.
. What right has bennett to say TO the
man who does his work, vote this ticket
or take your discharge? Suppose the
laborer turns and says, ''vote this ticket
or look for help elsewhere:" It's game
OF mutual dependence. The farmer de-
ponds on his hands much more than the
hands depend on him. There are too
many vacant acres IN this State for Nh
bennett TO loId it over labor with his
aristocratic notions Men that work have
as much right to be politically ;ndeperd-
ent as the men that 90 not work. And
every poor man in the State should bear
in mind that the aristocra.s IL Attakapas
maintain the right to control q nan 5 vote
when they hire his labor.

known principle involved IN COM
petition and trade that the minimum
of price of any commodity regulates the
market price of that commodity. Thus,
if a single dealer in Barbarin or otner
stock offer it below the present or cur

obvious that all other dealers must i'm
