ADVICE TO THE " HANDS,"

The Democrats are in state Of ex-
tire me anxiety on account Of the planters.
Tn ese gentry are saddled with the respon-
sibility of talking to their Glands, and
letting them know the difference between
no hesty and dishonesty, eco1 omy and
ext ravagance, Radicalism and d emocracy.
It lis thought that series of lectures on
these subjects will induce the hands to
vol he the Democratic ticket. The trouble
alb out this matter is, that the Glands
gel 1erally get the best of the argument,
fot it not unfrequently comes to pass that
the planter has neither been as honest,
thrifty or economical as he might have
been in his own conduct Besides, the
Glands have curious way of
retaliating questions about liberty
an d the ballot which tn planter
ca not answer so wei The
''Aand" who thought the pla inter- might
vote the Republican ticket if he was so
great friend of the colored people as he
pretended to be, submitted puzzle
which was hard to get over. And when
the Glands" read, if their school house
" as not burned down before they acquired
that accomplishment, the daily denuncia-
tipns of men who have befriended them,
u tered by the chosen organs of these
pf anters, they doubtlessly assume that the
p rlor Of the spider may be nice, but it
was not made 'for Joe"
Our advice to the planters is to let their
hands alone in the field about politics.
Cotton picking is too important to be
spoiled by any such fooishness as these
lectures, for it may come to pass that the
'fhand" may take up his carpet bag and
hunt a place where the pay is better and
the advice honester.

PLAYING WITHOUT PAYING.

Bill nd mans buff is game that amuses
old folks as well as children. Grabbed
people never engage in this pasti me, be-
cause they are apt to fall into passion If
the object of their pursuit eluaes their
grasp forty or fifty times. Old pumps re-
jects it as updignifed to be straddling
around at random after an unseen widow,
while she is ringing her cooing little
laugh in his ear all the time. Now, We
are neither grabbed nor rigid. To laugh
and unbend is a recreation. To prod
aroun I'D with bandaged eyes and wide ex-
tend ed arms and legs is fun that will live
as 10 g as men are merry and hon est.
We are just now engaged in a game of
buff with the Democrat, OR rather with
whole State full of Democrats 1t is i'm
possl ble to pin them down. They slip
out of the closest corners, either under
our arms or between our legs. If we nail
them up behind the sofa, they climb over
it. IF in the pantry, they sneak out on
the floor Only the other day we hedged
the Democrat near the hat rack, about
social equality, and it escaped by denying
that it was there. Again, it was fenced
in by the armchair, on the matter OF
colored ofice-holders, and it fell down
and snaked itself out in the most awkward
manner imaginable. 1t was fairly caught
in the matter of the colored delegates,
but it tore loose, and we have its coat tail
to prove the fact.
Tais is no fair game. We submit the
matter to the ladies, who know all the
rules, if the bandage is ours to wear any
longer? We like to amuse ourselves in
this way at times, but then we also like to
play with parties who will confess it when
the are fairly beaten. If the Democrat
is too Grabbed to put on the buff, or is too
dignifed to straddle around, then it ought
not to enter the lists. Perhaps it has not
got the talent to keep up the game. If
so, then this is good reason why it should
obj bet to being any binder than it is, but
it certainly does not excuse it for coming
in where it can only continue by cheating
the genuine lovers Of blind mans buff,
VII D know how to play the game.

We SHOULD trace every fault directly to

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The business of yesterday was devoid
Of interest. City securities continue to
improve, but we can report no other
change. At the board nothing was done
in the way Of sales, but there was the
usual interchange of ideas relative to
prices There is no chance for the
brokers just now. Their weekly COM
missions would not furnish the board a
good dinner at the lake. Their patience
and good humor, under the circum-
stances, deserve the highest praise. It
would require superhuman activity on
their part to get anything like decent
business in the present condition Of af-
fairs, but Notwithstanding this continued
adversely they are as genial as ever, and
seem determined ''to fight it out on this
line if it takes the rest of their natural
lives.
Four thousand dollars city seven per
cent Fiscal agency certificates, dated
thirtieth August, sold at $50; $4,000 of the
same, dated July 16, brought SO, and a
like amount of that date realized S9I. At
the board rs was offered for city seven
thirties, but no one offered to sell at any
figure. Three thousand dollars new
seven per cent city bonds changed hands
at TAR, and S110O at IS. At the board
744 was bid to Is asked. Two thousand
dollars Metropolitan warrants sold at 96!.
The business in State warrants has
fallen off decidedly. New warrants were
offered at the board at 74s, without takers.
Holders appear to be in the vocatlve just
at present.
There lisa good inquiry for Lottery, but
as rule those who have stock propose to
hold it as an investment. They are
counting upon a good dividend as the
next one, and if they get it, as no doubt
they will, the stock is bound to mount a
long way beyond the highest figure yet
received for it. There is one thing to
be said in its favor-there has been no
effort made to give it speculative value.
It requires plenty Of cash to touch it, and

As to whether the card of Edward
Brown, affirming his allegiance to the
Republican party, was weak and paltry
trick, that is matter for Mr.. Brown to
settle with the Democrat, and not for us
to defend. Being a free man, Brown has
a right to set himself right before the
public, and what there was of weakness or
trickery about it, we confess our inability
to discover. Itcertainly did not approach
the trick Hatch played on the public by
reporting Brown as Democratic con-
vert. That, indeed, was paltry, and his
best friends in the country say it was a
card he ought not to have played in the
white mans game.

Another gas jet has made its appearance
in the Democratic temple. The Democrat
habitually alludes to Governor Warmoth as
the "Actisg Governor and to the laws of
the last Legislature as ''so-called laws" If
this were not nonsense, it might be consid-
cred treason, and if the State were not
strong enough to put out such mephitic
vapOr at any moment, it might be time to
hunt up policeman and send him to screw

and sentences with three words in
ITEM; although = Victor Hugo nsy
be their author, do not serve or
obscure the purpose. When France
isready to make a satisfactory treaty, the
Pfnssians will be ready to fall back. Until
THAT time, all this talk about peace is fex-
fine. A little dressing down about Paris
will not hunt her. She is too greatly de-
nsoralized to be injured by little whole
some castigation. Hersplendor has cor
rupted the age. Her faxolity has almost
ruined France. She is the seat of luxurY.
and the hot-bed of vice. The extremes of
life have met in her palaces and purlieus
She has been the temptation of Europe.
The poison of her vices was felt through
oct the circuit of civilization. As Athens
fell because she became brazen and
wicked, as Rome persisted because her
men and women fell into dissipation
and effeminacy, so let Paris either
be chastened or dethroned from
her rule of debauehery. The red
flag of Repubicanisra can not sanctify
the unclesn hands Of the robbers who
plumber in the name Of patriotism. The
storm of war must either regenerate or
destroy this modern Babylon. And al
though she may point to her libraries and
academies, as Thebes pointed to her hum
dred gates, these can not save her, if the
bosom that has swept through all ages is
now trailing over the city by the Seine to
PROSTATE her as it FRUSTRATED Tyre, and
Sidon, and Athens and Rome. This is
world of vengeance. Capitals of to-day
are unknown tomorrow. The "heart of
civilization is capable of translation.
War is the great surgeon that blots out
cities and nations Its ponderous hand
has destroyed the empires of the past,
and it will destroy the kingdoms
of the present. And no man can
tell how this has been done better than
Victor Hugo, and no man can predict it
with greater strength of language than
he can. Germany is the force of nature,
just as the Huns were. Her mysterious
strength is wonder, but it is divine,
unless we are willing to deny Providence.
She is an unkn own cause working out an
unseen and impenetrable result. We see
the trail of her desolation as we see the
ashes of city destroyed by fire. A
thousand footprints are made to-day on
the waste of confagration, but tomorrow
beautiful structure rises where the
rookeries went down. Rehabilitation is
in constant practice; and, if Paris per-
ishes, out of her mortal ruins and her
immortal memories better capital may
be built. Where the Lord loves, there he
sends chastisement. Let this be the
common consolation of all mankind for
whatever may happen.

While the Democrats in New Orleans
are hallucinated with the idea that the
Republicans will involve the entire
nation in ruin, the other end of the cat
in New York is fearfully exercised be-
cause the Republicans are paying off the
national debt too fast If any two links
Of this animal would hold together long
enough to be enlightened, we might
attempt the job of proving to their salts
faction that the country is neither going
into bankruptcy, nor is it paying the
debt too fast; but they are so uncertain
in their afinities that it is impossible to
educate them into anything like peace
full quietude. All that We can do in the
premises is to go on prospecting and pay
ing, and when the country is full of
money and out of debt, their children, if
they are capable Of leaving posterity, may
have better sense than their fathers.

We learn from Berlin dispatch that the
wounds of Marshal Mcmahon having sufi-
cienly healed to enable him to travel, he
has left his retreat near Frankfort, and gone
to the famous watering place Weisbaden,
the capital of the Duchy of Nassau, at
which place it is expected he will remain
until the termination of the war. He is
very reticent on all matters pertaining to
the war and the surrender of Sedan.

Governor Warmoth has pardoned Daniel
Bills, who, more than year ago, was con-
victed of forgery, and sentenced to two
years imprisonment, He has served one
half of his term of imprisonment, and was
recommended by the judge of the Criminal
Court and the District Attorney as proper
subject for executive clemency. Bills is
quite youngster, and there is reason to
believe that he was instigated to the offense
by older and more practiced hands.

THE GOVERNOR TO TAKE THE FIELD

It will be seen by the announcement in
our "political' columns, that Governor
Warmoth, in company with General G..
A. Sheridan, is about to take the field as
an advocate ofthe great cause of which he
is the acknowledged leader in this State
Governor Warmoth has few equals in this
State as a speaker, and General Sheridan
ranks high as an orator everywhere. Our
country cousins may, therefore, expect to
hear some good Republican doctrine, and
ht the same time enjoy treat in oratory
that does not often fall to their lot.
We learn that our friends in the coun-
try are making the necessary preparations
to properly receive the distinguished
speakers at the designated places, and
afford the people an opportunity to see
their gallant young Governor.

Victor Hugo has fired a column of short
sentences at the Germans for besieging
Paris. He does not want Paris hurt. It
is the heart of civilization. Says this
mitrailleur of rhapsody "Athens and
Rome were; Paris is" Just so, o, Victor,
but as Athens and Rome fell, so may
Paris. They were; Paris may be. 1t is
her own will which is to determine if she
shall succumb or live. If she desires to
continue, let her make peace. If she de-
sires to fall, let her continue to make war.
Germany offers terms; Paris threatens to
guillotine the ruler who accepts them. 1t
is manifestly the will of Paris then to
perish, If surrender to King William is
death, as Hugo considers it to be. All
these short sentences settle no contro-
versies. Wars are made for purpose,
