BANKS AND CUBA,

On Wednesday last, in the House OF
Representatives, General Banks made q
bold and able speech in favor of the
Cuban patriots. The galleries were filled
with spectators, whose sympathies were
SO much aroused by the members elo-
quence that the Speaker was obliged
several times to resort to his gayel to pre-
vent their manifestation.
1t was to certain extent a reply to the
message of the President, who, therein,
sides with Spain against the Cubans, and
had there been no Intervention, the House
would have voted for Banks resolution,
which would have been a censure of the
course of the administration, but at this
juncture the man Of compromises, par
excellence, Bingham, got in compromise
measure to relieve the weak-souled from
the responsibility Of voting either against
the President or a popular leader like
Banks. AS it is, Bingham's resolution
was carried, which probably disposes of
the Cuban question for the present ses-
sion

Communicated
Bishops RESPITEU.

1t must have afforded the readers of our
recent cable dispatch considerable amuse-
ment to learn that the Pope has graciously
allowed all American Bishops in the Ecu
menical Council, until the twenty.secopd
proximo, to give their adhesion to infalli-
bility doctrine of the Papal See. If, there.
after, they remain contumacious, the ex-
communication is natural sequence. The
vast majority of all the liberal members of
American Bishoprics have been loud in
their protest IONS against the dogma of in
fallibility. Neither the French nor the
Prussian governments will allow now, any
more tina IN days gone past, the successor
OF Peter" TO assume a prerogative which
tends to curb the reins of power, by which
they guide their subjects. The American
bishops in Council seem to imagine that the
free and enlightened people of this republic
can not swallow the strange dictum that
ito err is not human"
Ignorance is the groundwork of supersti-
ton. The more ignorant a man is the
deeper reverence he will have for the mys.
teries Of the religion in which he has been
nurtured. We state it for a fact, that Cath
olics who are thoroughly educated and en-
joy the pure air of freedom in America,
soon divest themselves of many of the alb.
surdities of their religion. Has not the
present Pope canonized persons who have
died without ever hearing of the infallibili-
ty dogma' If, thea, he has assured won-
dering posterity that the souls of both pro
and anti infallibilists have escaped both hell
and purgatory, why, under the stars, can ne
not permit his flock to feed in the same pas
ture and attain similar destiny? Sensible
Catholics think the old man is dotard; but
he be sane or not there is one
thing certain, that this dogma of his dotage,
Or sycophancy, will do more to retard the
march of Roman Catholicism than even the |
English Reformation. AN FRESHMAN.

WHAT THE DEMOCRACY DESIRE.

We have received the first number of a
Democratic journal, called The Old Consti-
tuition, and in its salutatory the editor says:
The first and chief object to be accom-
plished, and the prime purpose of this
paper, is to abolish the present infamous
constitution of North Carolina, and to re-
establish in the stead thereof the good old
constitution of our fathers.
1t may be pertinently remarked that the
Democrats, all over the country, want the
"old constitution because it disfranchised
our colored friends, allowed our poor white
brethren to be imprisoned for debt, and
sent the impecuuious to pillories and
whipping-posts, while the wealthy paid
fines. They who like these things shout
for the Democracy" but they who believe
that the days of barbarian are past, and
are succeeded by term of civilization and
Christianity, will hardly sympathize with
the new efforts of the North Carolina
editor,

DICKENS RELIGION.

A Roman Catholic organ in London,
the Tablet, denies that Dickens was a
Christian, and AYERS that his characters
were amiable, possessing every merit but
religion. This is simply nausAating. 1t
is just such exhibitions of bigotry and
narrow-mindedness as this which keep
many men beyond the pale of the Church,
and drive Others out of it.
The Tablet will have difficulty, we opine,
in persuading its readers that people who
resemble Little Nell and Captain Cutie
are on the road to perdition.
The London Tablet, of course, puts forth
this dictum in the name of Christ, who
was all love and charity. claiming to be
one of His especial agents on earth. In
stead of the sanity attributes with which
this organ invests itself, we see nothing
but the hoofs and horns of the devil.

Supreme Court at opelonsas.

term of the Supreme Court commenced
at Opelousas on the thirteenth instant, and
continued SIX days; present, Associate
Justices Talaferro, WHY and Howe. Owing
to the change in tie time of holding
the court, and the fact that but few terms of
the District Courts have been held of late in
that section of the State, there were but
few cases upon the docket.
The number of opinions delivered was ten.
In the case of Moucheux vs.. Mistrot, the
judgment Of the lower court was affirmed,
the opinion being delivered by Judge Talia-
ferro.
The case Of Conrad VS.. Vallery, which was
argued by Hon. Charles NJ. Conrad, of this city,
for plaintiff, and by Robert Perry, Esq, of
st. Martinsville, for defendant, was decided
in favor of plaintiff, the opinion being de-
livered by Judge WHY.
In the case of the State of Louisiana vs..
Ferray, in which the defendant had been
convicted of murder, committed under cir
cumstances Of peculiar atrocity, the judy
ment, by which he was sentenced to i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life in the
State Penitentiary, was affirmed. The
opinion was delivered by Judge Howe.
The next term Of the Supreme Court viii
be held at Monroe on the first Monday
July.

We have receiv ed from the editor of the
South Land, an agricultural journal that is
doing good work for Louisiana, a few silk
cocoons of the present years growth. The
South Land received them from Mr.. E. Gou-
rier, st. Gabriel, Louisiana, who may become
a successful silk raiser, if any opinion can
be formed by the appearance of the cocoons.
If our agricultural contemporary can pro.
mote the silk culture by scattering the CO.
coons of Mr.. Courier among the editorial
fraternity, and thus showing what may be
done, he will be entitled to the thanks of
our whole people, for every new product
adds to the general wealth and prosperity.

bushels of grain, with six strings of ele.
vators driven by an eighty horse power

tons, or about $50 bushels of grain, in the
incredibly short time of eighteen minutes.
Boston expects to enlarge the grain impor.

New Orleans summers, and found not to soften By

2. Being in general use at the North. it necesss.
rjly must be proof against cold.
3. 1t is as durable as stone and much less expen.
sve.
4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water and conss.
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
5. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet weather.
6. It does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
Z. It is impenetrable to grass, weeds or water.
g. 1t prevents noxious vapors gases. arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
for filth or fostering decompositions.
9. 1t is laid down quickly. and ready for use when
finished.

repaired when necessary.

Persons should always speak with such
deliberation and clearness as to render after
explanations unnecessary. To have to ex-
plain what you have said in matters OF pub
lie interest implies that what you have said
has not been we'll said; and to be drawn into
an explanation by the misrepresentation of
those who dishonesty pervert what you
hsve said, is attaching more Importance to
their scandals than they are entitled to; for
an intelligent and discriminating public is
not apt to be deceived by the defamer or de-
cei7er. When We say the Louisiana State
Lottery is popular institution, We say it
in language that requires no explana-
ton. for 1t is so clearly and deliberately
said as to render perversion of it impos-
sible, though the dishonest quibbler should
be tempted to question its truth. But
where there is so much evidence of popular.
ity there is no chance of successfully deny
ing it. This is the great secret of the sue.
cess of the Louisiana State Lottery as
public institution. Its affairs are conducted
on the square, and the public patronize it
with the utmost confidence that if prize
is drawn there is no drawback on the
money. The prize is Immediately cashed
without cost or discount of any kind to the
lucky person who has drawn it. These are
matters that are so well known that none
dispute them, and they account for the rush
that is now made for tickets in the next
drawing.
