TEE SEASON.

Spring, sweet and blooming as she al
ways is, was this year remarkably coquet
fish. So much so, that we had hardly
become acquainted with and admired her
airs and graces, ere summer with her warm
caresses appeared to claim our notice. She
brings rich stores of crimson fruits, straw
berries, and red plums-and the lucious,
fragrant blackberry, with juicy esculents,
from the brown and seemingly useless
earth. All these we welcome cordially, for,
tired of wintry diet, and ,scanty vegetables,
the generous gifts Of summer come doubly
welcome. "a
But crowned as she is with flowers and
fruits innumerable, she yet brings in her
voluptuous arms such melting breezes
that we sigh to be where winter fingers.
Summer, imperious queen, yet subject
to the god of day, brings with her the
scorching ray and burning beam, until in
her august presence, We faintingly cry to
be carried away from this equatorial city
to cooler and more shady abode. The
last fortnight of May was more like the
sitting breath of midsummer than the
glad song of spring. The days latterly,
with the exception Of, the rainy weather,
have been beautiful, but that they have
been also uncomfortable is evinced by the
rapid fight which our good citizens are
taking away from this hot and sweltering
atmosphere. Rural life never before pos
sessed such intrinsic charms, if we may
judge from the exodus daily occurring.
The levee is alive with the go-aways, now
hurrying from the din and dust of this busy
metropolis to shady woodlands, cool
meadows and cooler springs and rivulets.
Yellow Jack has not yet presented his
hideous, jaundiced visage at our front
doors, but as he is ever an unwelcome
visitor, who likes to make long and impe-
rious calls, none wish to wait his appear
ance. We advise all who are SO fortunate
as to be among the annual tourists, to put
the linen covers on the furniture shut
the blinds-lock the gate-and speed
away to cooler regions. Near home, the
lake shores, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi
City and Pass Christian offer attractions
which have long been appreciated, but the
enormous rates of board demanded by the
uncomfortable proprietors of those re-
treats. and generally, too, for miserable
fare and scanty accommodations, deter
many from availing themselves of the
privilege of sojourning there during the
hot months.

THE CHURCH PARTY"

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,: a.
A few weeks ago, a circular was issued by
committee Of ministers to the. Christian
Republicans of louisiana" on which nv
name appeared as one of the signers. As
some Of my friends seem not to understand
my position on this church party movement,
beg leave to state. through your. columns,
that while 1 approve of some of the features
OF this new organization, I disapprove of
that part of the address where the right is re-
served to reject nominated candidates. NV
name was placed on the circular without my
knowledge or consent. am decidedly in
favor of uniting the christian Republicans
OF Louisiana" to the support Of the Repub-
lican party, but am opposed to the theory of
rejecting regularly nominated candidates.
If this theory was carried out, we would
have no party at all. If the Christian Re-
publicans desire to get faithful men in Office,
they must try, as I have already urged upon
the committee of ministers, to bring sufi.
cient influence to bear in the nominating
convention for this purpose. If they adopt
this plan, am with them, but not other.
wise. belong to the regular Republican
party of this State, and shall always be op-
posed to all species of boiling or division
within the party. ]. WILLIS MENARD.

Gravitation is tendency, or moving TO-
ward an object that attracts, inclining,
striving, advancing to get somewhere or
somehow or-something. We gravitate
through our opinions, feelings, habits,
tastes, and with force commensurate with
their power. In respect to allobjects it
operates the virtue Of the interior life, and
is the law by which its constituent ele-
ments yearn toward those Of other constit-
uences, material, mentak real, ideal, spir-
itual, called sometimes sympathy, homo
jeniety, love-sometimes something else,
and always meaning the simple drifting of
everything toward that it loves, and its
like. It is law of the universe pre-
vailing alike in all the kingdoms-mia-
eral, vegetable and animal, all of which
are the spiritual kingdom, because all OBJ
jects have spirit, are spirit, possess inte-
rior lie and Observation-Disclosures, i'm
perishable, everlasting. .r--
Newton's apple falling to the ground is
a popular illustration of the law of CRAWL
tstion, but an individual falling in
love is an equally good one. Friendship,
affection, admiration, esteem, are fruits
of many and various influences, in-
terror and exterior, of the body and
mind, every element, by means of
its peculiar sphere, producing its appro-
pirate effects. In matter and mind alike,
all substances affect others within reach
of their influence, proximity being impos-
sible without repulsion or attraction. All
men thus gravitate to their places, and
proper relations in life, unless adverse
causes prevent their doing SO. Antagon-
sms prevail in the world of mind, as of
physics, whence come the storms or trials
'flife that we bear with patience in the hope
ofa better life to follow, whence nditions
hall have become improved and the COM
'ensations that attend on all abnormal &C
ion will, it is hoped, adjust everything
rom the beginning.

The stockholders Of the Magazine Street
Railroad Company of Jefferson City have
elected as directors Messrs. Peter Kaiser,
Jacob Neuhauser, Adam Miller, Anton
Schmucker and George Merz. The directors
subsequently elected George Merz president
and Joseph Krieger secretary. We hope
the new president will adopt measures to
provide decent accommodations for the
patrons Of the road, such as clean cars, fast
mules and obliging drivers. The only real
interest the public feel in the road is to have
its management entirely reconstructed.

RAILROAD REFORM,

1u0 prOOlem OF human NE mas one
means ofsolution-death. When we shall
enter the door of the new, the old will, it
is to be supposed, yield its mysteries to
the light, and we shall understand us
hope so-why such conditions prevail
here as make fatal railroad accidents
familiar occurrences without leading to
prevention or creating in the public mind
any profound or permanent sense of
horror. In a travelling nation like ours.
where every one is always going some
where or coming home, and where railroads
afford the chief facilities for travel, one
would think lively caution likely to pre-
vail in favor of the safety of accommoda-
tions, as we'll as of their speed, comfort
convenience and elegance. But while art,
ingenuity and money exceed all modera-
ton in their lavish outlay for the sake of
these last, no mental travail or more pain
full pecuniary appliances are vouchsafed
to the poor consideration of saving an
occasional score or two of lives.
The legislative authority everywhere
should extend its franchises to corpora.
tons on conditions of benefcence toward
the public, stipulating the terms of their
acceptance, and making highly penal-to
the extent, if necessary, even of forfeit
ure-every breach involving death or
damage to passengers. Let there be an
memorable negation of all such questions
as blame or no blame, leaving the carrier
liable on each fatal occurrence to nav
heirs q fixed sum for every life, and indi-
viduals manned pensions in amounts
equivalent in each case to the wrong, the
degrees of injury and their penalty to be
by the charter defined. One is morally
responsible for the Injurious consequences
OF his act, whether willfdl or no, for no
conscience can be appeased by the mere
absence of evil intention. Let railroads
be made legally responsible as we'll.
Careiessness may not be as criminal as
wrong intent, but the whole difference is
IS to the culprit, not as to his victim. If
you destroy life or limb of mine, it helps
me nothing that you did not mean to do
1t. When public carriers are deprived of
the privilege of proving before somebody
or anybody that they are not to blame.
and must face the penalty under their act
Of organization at once and without con-
ditions, we venture 70 believe that all So
called casualties will cease, and we shall
be as safe in one of Pullman's as in our
bed at home. This duty deyolves on
every benefcent government, and the way
to it is simple and direct. "
There are, besides, measures which
should be imposed on railroad companies
as conditions precedent, such as embark
ing the road on either side, as in England,
and requiring double tracks, as through
out Europe, we believe, is mostly required.
The difficulties to be apprehended here
are In respect to the costimposed. ,Legis-
lators, not caring farthing to what excess
they squander public funds, will be wax
to the persuasions of lobbyists respecting
the cost of a road. This has to be over
come, involving, as it does, legislative re-

The opinions of the press on the question
of the annexation, of San Domingo are d.
verse. The Austin Journal expresses the
views Of many journalists in saying:
The negotiations for the annexation of
San Domingo are being more favorably con-
sidered in Congress than heretofore. We
predict that the National Executive will
finally succeed in this undertaking. The in
stinct of territorial expansion is strong as
ever in the heart of the Americon people,
and whatever plan moves with the strength
of that current is too powerful to be
breasted or turned BY any ordinary oppo-

Democrat reports thst they are destined fol
Algiers, Louisiana, under contract with
Hon. Cakes Ames and Ex-Governor Gard
