The Prepared Ramie.

A specimen OF the Ramie plant, as pre-
pared for spinning, has been left at the
Office Of the REPUBLICAN by MIR. Lefranc,
the editor OF La Renaissance.
This specimen has been prepared by the
ramie decorticating machine. 1t is of ex-
ceeding fine texture, and the strength OF
the fibre appears TO be equal to the best
fax fibre. from which the finer linens are
fabricated. while it has all the superior CLOS
siness OF silk.
1t has already been shown that the ramie
plant is easy to cultivate, and 1t has this adj
vantage, that it can be protitably cultivated
in much smaller quantities than the ordinary
cotton plant.
1t is not expected that the ramie will in any
way supercede the cultivation of cotton III
the South. but it will be valuable addition
TO our great staple. For all finer fabrics ii
will eventually take the place OF other ma
terials: for cloths manufactured from II,
while they will equal the best silks III
texture and strength, can be produced with
superior cheapness.
There is no doubt, therefore, that as the
properties OF the ramie plant, and the
easiness of its culture become more eX-
tensively known, it will find pla ce in
every garden; and its sole culture will more
abundantly pay the labor of the cultiva
ton than any other agricultural product
1t is certainly worthy Of public attention,
and should have trial by ev cry gardner
opd cultivation 0f the UrOlni.

There are those who think that Bismarck,
in trying TO make his mark, had no business
TO NEEDLE in Spanish affairs, for thereby he
NAV be made to walk Spanish" when in
fact he only intended to teach Louis Napo-
leon how to do so. The game played for
when empires are at stake should make
gamesters who play this dangerous game
know that they are gamecocks, for the
game. being one of war, is calculated to
try the metal of men who bring it on, as
well as the patience of men who are
to bear the brunt of bat
tie. Bismarck, the willy diplomat. should
be made to take the chances of war brought
or by a grasping desire to enlarge the
power and kingdom of Prussia. He should
be ordered to the front, and with the hum
blest soldier be made to feel the consequence
of an INSCRIPTIONS greed. He should be
compelled to take the chances OF being shot
at. and made to see the desolating effects OF
war brought on by the few to destroy the
MANY. No matter who wins III the struggle
that is now going ON between France and
ITuSS1d, w VI 4>upoiOoi, @hS PSSBAS VA
those countries will be the losers. Myriads
OF human beings will be destroyed, and vast
amounts Of properly consumed and money
expended that must tend to impoverish for
a long time both countries. How different
this fruitless scheme of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
from the grand scheme of the Louisiana
State Lottery that makes nobody poor, but
enriches many. Better that Bismarck had
taken his chances of fortune here than to
have been the cause of so much desolation
by taking the chances of war with France,
where the fate Of so many is involved. All
who prefer a peaceful solution of fortune
had better try their luck in the next single
number drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery. This may he done by investing a
few dollars il tickets.

An Alder. LEGAL Lumiaary snaned.

Eugene Mccarthy, resident of Algiers,
who has for SO many months past occupied
such prominent place in so many fiascos,
imbroglios, and free fights, judicial, legisla-
tive, and fstical, yesterday became the hero
of another scrape.
Mr.. Mccarthy holds, at tho present time,
the office of Fifth Justice of the Peace, and,
until lately, Manuel B. Bijon was the con-
stable of the Fifth Justices Court. Now,
as Mr.. Bijon tells it, Mr.. Mccarthy has had
all along, a comical way of bucketlng the
proceeds, that is of collecting the costs III
the cases tried in his court, which costs
should have been collected by the constable.
Once collected, they stayed collected, for
Biion saws he never sees the color OF his
money. Now the constable gives an Off
cial bond of five thousand dollars as securi-
ty for the faithful discharge of his duties,
while the Justice gives no security what
ever. So if the constable should attempt
to pocket the Judges fees, hlr. Constable
could be made to fork over on account OF
his bonds; but if the Justice plays the game
of pocketing the cOnstable's hOnOraria,
there is no civil remedy, at any rate in the
present instance, for Mr.. Mccarthy owns
| no available property.
As Mr. Biion had no civil remedy, he felt
compelled to resort to an uncivil one; for
yesterday he appeared before his honor Re
| corder Dumont and made the following atfi-
| davit:
State Of Louisiana Fifth District, city OF
New Orleans. Personally appeared before
me, Andrew Dumont, Recorder of the Fifth
| District OF the city of New Orleans, and
| Justice OF the Peace duly commissioned and
sworn Manuel b. Bijon, who having been
| duly sworn, doth depose and say, that one
| Eugene Mccarthy, who at present holds the
| office OF Fifth Justice of the Peace in the
| Fifth District of the city of New Orleans,
did on or about the first day of August, 1870,
| in violation and defiance of law, collect
| the fees and costs in certain suit
| entitled State VS.. Rockwell Heron, No.
5l23, said fees amounting to the sum OF nine
| dollars. which tees should have been col
| lected 10y aftiant, as constable OF the Filth
| Justices Court, which Office affiant then
held: and the said Eugene Mccarthy, having
| Illegally collected the said fees and costs as
| aforesaid, has wilfully and feloniously APP.
propriated the same to his own use and
benefit, and persistently and felOniously
with malice prepense refuses to account to
atfiant for the fees and costs thus illegally
| collected. Wherefore this deponent charges
\ accused. the aforesaid Eugene Mccarthy
| with larceny and ENLIGHTENMENT, in violation
of law and against the peace and dignity
| of the State of Louisiana; and, therefore
deponent prays that the aforesaid Eugene
| MCCARTHY may be arrested and dealt with
according TO law. Sworn to, etc.
A warrant was accordingly issued for the
arrest of Mccarthy, and this is the end o.
| the first act.

THE NEXT SOCIAL SCANDAL AT NEW
YoRK.-A letter from New York says: The
prurient prudes of first-class society are
eager for the beginning of the suit for dl-
yorce sooA to be commenced by the daugh-
ter of Colonel Lasalle. of the Courier DIES
Etats Unis. 1t is expected to interest and
crafty scandal-hunting tastes beyond any
Similar case tried in New York for many
years. The plaintiff is still young and al
most as captivating as at the time Of mar
rage, few years ago, when she was one
of the bellies of Gotham. The ground of
divorce is-well marital inconsistency sounds
better than the shorter term. The ottense
began, it is said, shortly after the wedding,
and was continued recklessly and in pre-
miscuous sort of way. Before her marriage,
the plaintiff was one Of the most popular
and beautiful young ladies in New YORK
society. Her husband is naval officer,
believe, and their wedding was one OF the
chief fashionable events of the day. Inc
suit for divorce will be commenced IN a few
weeks, and the social standing Of the plain
tiff promises to give it an interest that is
not often attained by cases of this class.
As have said, the prurient prudes are al:
ready on the q,.i vice for what are called
spicy Developments.
