DsAR SIRs-In answer to your inquiries about the
Barbarin Gas. am pleased TO be able to give you
very good report. The apparatus has now been at
work for some days without the slightest 'nishap
or difficulty. The light is brilliant, and at the
same time uniform and steady; which is a great
object In a sugar-house. When once the burners
are lighted, they require no more attention. Alto-
uether am much pleased with the light, tor IT'S
simplicity clearness and efficiency. In these points
it certainly is equal, if not superior, 10 any other
light that am acquainted with.
Very truly yours,

THE LAST RESORT OF SMALL MINDS.

Some anonymous persons, actuated by
feeling Of spite, have procured printed
posters, containing foolish attacks on the
Hon. Thomas w. Conway, and had them
posted about the streets. There is nothing
witty nor manly about this. If they do
not agree with Mr.. Conway in his views of
official duty, let them seek to convince
him that he is wrong byreasonable argu-
ments. Inventing and posting silly lam
poons, and publishing execrable, abortive
attempts at wit done up in doggorel, or
or Aashy squibs in a newspaper, do not
settle principles of law, equity or decency,
and the cause must indeed be weak whose
advocates can find nothing better to sus-
tain it than by resorting to such child's
play. It shows that the city clowns do
not approve the course Of one of our high
State officers; but it does not prove that
Mr. Conway is wrong, or that his enemies
are anything else bat clowns.

Company:
DEAR SIR-EnclOsed We take pleasure in handing
Won a letter of Dir. Michel D. Gaudet. manager Of
the sugar plantation Buena Vista, upon which the
Barbarin Gas Light has inst been introduced. The
perusal Of the same will entirely convince you Of
the perfect success of said gas in every respect,
proving itself fully equal to any other light now in
use.
1t gives US double pleasure to ind0rse Mr..
Cadets statement, not alone from the fact that
Buens Vista is OF the first places where this gas
has been tried, but more that, considering the
well known competency Of said gentleman. his
Judgment in such matters deserves the most inn
plicit confidence and belief.
The desire to do full justice to the exceuency Of
the Barbarn Gas, has prompted us TO- thus express
ourselves.
Very respectfully.

DEAR SR-It is with pleasure that express the
entire satisfaction which your apparatus, placed in
my Oil Works Oh Bienville street, since five weeks
have given me.
Here enclosed You will find detailed report,
which will show you the economy which results
from the use of your gas.
have been able to ascertain with correctness
saving of sixty-one and three quarters per cent on
my gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
1t is but fair to observe that some Of my pipes
which were placed several years ago are too
small, and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
all over my works is bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the Earring caused by the
working of the machines night and day, and the
immense length Of the gas pipes, consider the
suits obtained more than satisfactory.
Believe me, dear sir, your obedient servant.

great cheapness makes it specially eommendable..
IN this connection permit me to congratulate you
On your selection of Mr. CAST who superintends the
laying Of the pipes. His work is admirably per-
formed.
With the earnest hope that this great improve
ment in lighting will be known by all, and that
the results of iris enterprise will be common.

Reconstructed States Subject TO
Perpetual RECONSTRUCTION.


The Radical leaders in Congress have
advanced the doctrine that the power to
reconstruct a State implies the power to
protect that rcconstruction-in other
words that after admitting the reconstruc-
ted States. Congress will have the power
to degrade them to military provinces at
pleasure.
This, in. plain English, means that
Congress claims the right to make m ere
territories out of State whenever there
is danger that such State will defeat a
Radical candidate for the Presidency, or
endanger the Radical control of either
branch Of Congress.
There is not a doubt that nine out of
every ten Ohio Radicals will upon the
first statement of it pronounce such a
doctrine monstrous and untenable; but
Iahappily, y,experience warrants us in say
ing that there is just as little doubt that
at the next election nine out of ten Ohio
Radicals viii vote for the supporters OF
this doctrine.

smoking and Loss of Sight.

Tobacco smokers, says the London
Medical Mirror, must look to their eyes.
Proofs are accumulating that blindness,
due to slowly progressive atrophy of the
optic nerves, induced by smoking, is OF
frequent occurrence. In one Of the vol
umes of the London Hospital Reports,
Mr.. Jonathan Hutchinson has narrated
several cases of amaurosis, the histories
of which go to establish the fact
that in each case the blindness was
brought on by that rapidly increasing,
and, as t appears, baneful habit; and in
the Medical Times and Gazette,of a late
date, the same distinguished surgeon has
described another striking case ofssto

blindness, induced in Is months

Ne,y Kind of Neutrality,

Senator MORTON has introduced bill
further prescribing the duties of this
country. as neutral between foreign ma
tions.
Our present neutrality laws do not for
bid our people selling munitions of war
to nations or peoples at war. For this
there seems to be very good reasons :
Many of our people are engaged in man
ufactnriug guns, powder, shells, &c, and
many others are employed in collecting
and preparing the materials for such mu-
nitions of war. OF course the persons
so employed must look to nations at
war or preparing for war, for any con-
siderable demand for their productions.
Senator MoRToN's bill effectually shuts
off this source Of foreign demand by
making it unlawful to sell arms, &c, to
nalions at war. The result of this
measure, if carried out, would be to close
nearly all our manufactures for arms,
and as necessary consequence, should
4 sudden demand arise in this country
fora large supply of arms We would
have neither the manufacturing facilitie;
or the skilled labor to produce them.
But the most peculiar feature Of Nor
TONS bill is that it permits our people
to sell arms to people engaged in "armet
msurrection," but prohibits such selling
to legitimate governments engaged il
putting down such EARNED insurrec
ton"
1t makes one nervous to think of thu
excruciating agony MoRToN would hav'
suffered If England haG proposed sucl
neutrality during our rebellion. En-
glands connection with the Alabam:
was Insignificant when compared will

mults, seditioLs and rebellions yet Nor
TON offers premium on turbulence il

The. Organization of our Legislature
was sueha as to give rise to much uncer-
tainty as to which party would control
it. The ratification of the Fifteenth
Ame's,ment settles that question con-
clusively.
TIE reformations proposed by the
Democrats, having but a minority for
their support,must be postponed to afi-
ture Legislature.
Whatever of bad legislation the scs
sion may bring forth, the Radicals will
lie efairly chargeable with ,and for all their
good and useful legislation we expect to
give them all the credit they merit. The
present indications arc that this latter
win not be a gigantic labor.
