Jusr LIKE THEN.-The Legislature
Of Kansas has appropriated $4,000 of
the peoples money to paint, and
hang up in the Capitol, the portraits
of John Brown and Gen. Jim Lane.
We presume this is done for the pur-
pose ofinculcating grand moral ideas"
in that border locality. To look upon
the visage of horse thieves, murderors
and suicides, might CONCEAL the ardor
of those contemplating that business
Morals must De at low ebb where
murderers and suicides stare you iu
the face in the very temple Of justice.

The NATIONS WARDS. Tho Phila.
delphia Age says; The Secretary of
War, by vote Of the House, has been
ordered to issue rations TO the poor
Of Washington. In plain words, he
has been directed, as far as the House
can direct, to feed idle, worthless ne
groes, brought into Washington for
the purpose Of voting the Radical
ticket, and kept there in order that
that party may hold the reiis of
authority. All these negroes arc badly
needed in Virginia by the farmsrs.-
Fair wages aud constant employment
would be given them But they are
retained in the National capitol by
the Radicals, and are fed by the funds
of the toiling white men of the coun.
try. This is the latest exhibition OF
Radical care for white men. The ne.
grocs Of Washington are TO be main.
tanned in idleness, while tho country
is taxed TO foot the bills

The Legal Tender Decision.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has determined to reopen argu-
ment on the Legal Tender cases re-
Gently decided by that tribunal. The
reason for this action on the part of
the Court may be found in the fact
that the Supreme Court, like all the
other departments of the government,
has been turned into a machine for the
propagation of Radical ideas and the
advancement of Radical measures
The decision against the constitution
atty of the Legal Tender Act took the
Radical leaders by surprise and was
exceedingly distasteful to the admins
tration at Washington. Hence, it is
that they put their heads together to
devise the means of forcing the Court
to stultify itself by reversing decision
already made. In the appointment of
Judges to the two vacancies on the
Supreme Bench the President was
$5uiuCu sOiCly Ny Ills ucSiIc 10 OFSFItTD
the late decision of the Court. He
sounded the opinions of the men who
were recommended to him as fit for
the office, and found no fitness in any
one WHO was not sound on the paper
money question. Judge Strong and
Mr. Bradley, it is said, both gave
pledges in advance to vote in accord
ance with the wishes of the admins
tration, and on these pledges they
were appointed and confirmed. It is
perhaps the first instance in the history
of the country ofjudges electioneering
for the Supreme Bench by offering to
do the dirty work of the party in pow
er. To such pass has Radicalism
brought the country. Not only does
corruption rule in the Executive and
Legislative departments, but it has
poisoned the very fountain of justice
itself.

THE MONROE CODES.

w HAVE Uccu ShOWh thiCC pam
phlets issued from Radical print
ling office in the little Town of
Monroe in the Parish of Ouachita.
They we're printed for the use OF
the Legislature, and were intended
to enlighten that distinguished
body on the defects of our system
of jurisprudence with view to its
Improvement. That they had the
desired effect is obvious from the
fact that all threy were adopted, IN
the last days of the session, with
out crossing t or dotting an I.
These pamphlets are called the
I" The Civil Code "The Code of
Practice" and the Revised Stat
utes." They constitute a fat job
for the Radical printers who are to
put them together, and h Ave
proved very fat job to Mr.. John
Ray, the Radical Senator who en-
Joys the honor of being the success
sor of Edward Livingston in the
Codifcation of the Laws of the
State of Louisiana. AS for any
other reason for getting up new
codes at this particular time we
know of none. AS for any particu-
lar fitness in Mr.. John Ray over
and above the proven bially able
bar of Louisiana we have been un-
able to discover any except his ac-
knowledged Radicalism and the ne
cessity of feeding all the hungry
Radicals out of the public crib
Mr.. John Ray was appointed re-
visor at one session and presents
his work all complete at the next,
and is, therefore, ready to draw his
salary with commendable Radical
promptness. He retires to the viii
lage of Monroe, and as if conscious
OF his inability for the Herculean
task, surrounds himself with his
Legislative committee, and calls in
the stupendous services of the
"Hon. Isaiah Garrett, of the Mon
roe bar" What great town our
quiet little Ouachita neighbor has
become. 1t furnishes the Solons to
get up the organic law ofthe State,
and furnishes the Chief Justice to
astonish the world by his luminous
interpretations Of it. Boeotia, at.
ter resting for centuries under re-
putation for the stupidity of its
people, redeemed itself by produc-
ing Pindar and Epaminondas.
Monroe, after existing several gen
erations without being remarkable
for any particular manifestations OF
greatness, has Suddenly startled
the universe By precipitating up
on the world John Ray and John
T. Ludeiing. What are we to ex-
pect next?

AZ We have very serious fault to
find with the weather, during the
whole of the past week. So far April,
always Dragged on as q lovely and fair
month of the year, has been anything
but beautiful. Friday we had, all day
and night, real good old Winter rain,
blowing and very cold. Saturday
morning the whole earth was white
with stunning frost, and in some To-
calities little ice. At 5 O'Clock that
morning the Thermometer marked 80.
Saturday and Sunday the weather con-
tinued cold and unreasonable; on Sat-
nrday night We had also a heavy frost.
Sunday morning at 5 o'clock the Tier
mometcr stood 81. AS we write, Mon
day noon, the wind has veered from
the North to due East, with any thing
but good weather prospects ahead.
In all this kick up, we are glad to
state, that what cotton is up has not
suffered, the earth being too wet with
the recent rain. The corn of the Par
ish is up every where and doing finely;
many are giving it a first working
The cane, both plant and stubble, il
coming MP well. This season the lar.
gest crop of cane, since the little un-
pleasantness, has been pitched-witf
a propititious season, Rapides will be
again looked upon as sugar Parish.

A Buxom Lawyeress.
MISS L. BARKALo BECOMES A MEMBER OF
THE ST. LOUIS BAR.

From the st. Louis Times, Goth.
The strong-minded women who
have been necessarily laboring for
years to secure q recognition of their
rights are in measure reaplng their
rights are in measure reaping their
reward. The State Senate gave
them an engrossing clerk, and the
board of water commissioners recent
ly added Miss Clapp to its staff as a
clerk in the water rates Office. Long
before this the Government acknowl-
edged their claims by appointing
two ladies-one of them Miss Rede-
liza Bates Mrs. Dr.. Fischer) Ia nota-
ry public. Yesterday Judge Knight
travelled long distance in the path
of progress by issuing license as q
practicing lawyer of the St. LOUIS bar
to Miss. l.. Barkalo, a student Of the
ST. Louis Law School. This, we are
pretty reliably informed, is the first
instance of this kind that has occur
red in this country, which is undoubt-
edly the most progressive Of all civil
lied nations in its treatment Of the
woman question. The Missouri fe-
male sugragists should certainly take
encouragement in the success of their
colaborer. Miss Barkalo is o native
of Brooklyn, New York-as was Miss
Bates-and is woman of more than
ordinary ability. Two years ago, af-
ter having read Blackstone and 9TH
er elementary law books, she made
application for admission as stu
dent at Columbia College, New York,
where she was promptly and perem-
torily refused. Nothing daunted,
however, she came out West and
settled in st. Louis, where she was
admitted without difficulty to the St.
Louis Law School. For eighteen
months she has been assiduously de-
voting her energies to the study of
the science, and her fellow students
all agree in declaring her by far the
brightest member of the class. That
there is no question of her ability
was clearly shown yesterday at the
examination, where she promptly
and correctly answered every ques
ton propounded to her. Judge
Knight, although .overAowing with
gallantry, gave the lady no quarter.
The most abstruse and erudite ques-
tons were propounded to the appli-
cant, but not once did the wise Judge
catch the fair student tripping
Miss Barkalo is about twenty-five
years of age, OF a buxom figure, amia-
bic and really intelligent face, and a
large and expressive eye. This is a
figure of speeeh-she has two.) She
is now member of the st. Louis
bar, and considerable interest is man
ifested to witness her maiden effort.

In THE WRONG PEw.-There arc =
class of men in our country, We are sor-
RS to say, will call themselves Conserv-

Federal Constitution, rs it Was, bnt pin
them down properly. and you will find
that their policy is to get just as near
the Radical programme as possible mot
to be radical. This is not the stand fox
a true man to take. 1t is no time for
the white people to be half Baboon aud
half Alligator. We must meet the rad
ic;fl revoiutionists with truth and jas
tice and a determination to never yield.
Let MS be all Alligator, CT all Balloon,

now carpet-bagger, Adelbert Ames,
as Senator from Mississippi, was con-
sumated last Thursday with cool
insulting manner towards the mem
bers of the judiciary committee that
could be done by fanatics, dcma-
gogues and tyrants lost to all the
better feelings Of manhood, such as
courtesy, gentlemanly demeanor and
respect for usage OF custom. Messrs.
Conkling, Pratt, Carpenter, Ed
munds, Trumbull, Schurz and Fowler,
voted With the Democrats against
Ames' right to be admitted. The
arguments made by these Radicals
and the Democratic Senators were
all of them strong legal ones, but
they were met by partizan harangues
and distortion of facts, testimony
and law which were promptly refuted
by the. able minority. The whole
thing was put up. It was determin-
ed in caucus to admit Texas and
Ames, and by that means gain three
votes to defeat the Bingham amend
ment and in effecting their purposes
the Radicals showed a complete dis
regard of gentlemanly courtesy for
those who disagreed with them, par
ticularly their own party friends.
This breach will never be entirely
healed, they may vote together
awhile but as Mr.. Edmunds said cit
is the last straw that breaks the
camels back" and these violent dem
agogues will in their lust for power
furnish the "last straw which will
divide and break the Radical party.
There is lull in the storm that was
raised to reconstruct Tennessee, and
the ku-klux have been quiet during
the debate on San Domingo and the
admission of Ames. Butler has fail
ed to max it appear that there were
outrages in Tennessee and so has
subsidized, at least is quiet for the
present. Governor Senter's testi-
mony will be heard on Tuesday
when the committee will decide the
question. The Georgia bill will
come up to-day and probably we may
have a few kilograms of the ku-klux
outrages in order to stir up the Radi-
cal bill and under an indignant fit of
Radical loyalty vote down the Bing-
ham amendment. Ben Buffers in
vestigation into the premature publ
cation Of the gold panic report still
progresses. Butler cares no more for
that business than he does who were
the printers who set itup. The secret
of that investigation in connection
with the Cuban lobby is to raise a
suspicion that members of Congress
are bribed in the Cuban interest, End
by that means Illustrate all efforts in
behalf of the Cubans This is done
! in the interest of his particular friend
Grant who consults him every day
before he goes to Congress. A nice
team the man who receives all he
can get and the man who took all he
could lay his hands on.

ABEAUTIFUL CUsToM.--in the noun
tains of Tyrol, it is the custom of the
women and children to come ont,
when it is bed time, and sing their ma
tional songs until they hear their hns-
bands, fathers and brothers answer
them from the hills or OH their return
home. On the shores of the Adriatic,
such custom prevails. There the
wives of the fishermen come doWn
about sunset and sing a melody. After
singing the first stanza, they listen
awhile for the answering strain from
off the water, and continue to sing and
listen till the well-known voices come
borne on the tide, telling that the low
ed ones are almost home. How sweet
to the weary fisherman, as the shadows
gather around him, mnst be the songs
of the loved ones at home, who sing to
cheer him, aud how they strengthen
and tighten the bonds that bind togetll-
err these humble dwellings by the sea
Truly, it ia among the lowly in this
world that we find some Of the mos,
beautiful customs in practice.
