THEDIEFERENCE.-Weh have
heard frequent inquiries to
know the difference between
the Democratic and Republican
parties, since the executive
Committee of the Democratic
party in this State adopted the
Republican platform in regard
to the political equality of ne
groes. We see no difference in
this respect. Both parties are
struggling to obtain and hold
possession of the same office or
offices; and according to a well
known law of physics, that two
bodies cannot occupy the same
space at thesame time, they are
bound TO oppose each other.
We are of the opinion that if
there were no salaries attached
to public Offices, or no means
of making money ont of them,
there would be no party lines,
no party platforms, no party
nominations, aud the offices
themselves would go begging.
An honest, competent aud eff
Gent official is all the people
want. fla candidate for office
has these qualifications, and
the voter knows it, it would be
best for him to vote according
~, without being governed by
the dictates Of self-constituted
party managers.-[O pelousas

made up of little things. In
order to insure ones happiness,
due attention should be given
to the snlallest4matters. How
ridiculous to the raw recruit
does it appear when his drill
master is teaching him the
proper manner to cock his gun,
or return the hammer. But if
he stops to reflect awhile, he
can preceive that a correct
knowledge of these things, in
him alone, might possibly gain
a great battle, for one bullet
sent accurately and at the pro-
per time, might kill the man
directing the opposite army.
The biggest thing we, as in
dividuals, could ask of the
Deity is happiness. This is
made up mainly Of small pleas
ures, and on the contrary, I'M
happiness is mostly composed
Of little troubles.
Every one knows how to APP
preciate the convenience of
having a pocket knife and
handkerchief, and scarcely any
one goes without them; but the
knife ought to be kept sharp,
and to do this, one should pro-
vide himself with a hone, which
is seldom done. Other minor
articles one would find to yield
many small pleasures, if he
habitually kept them about
him, as pen, pencil and blank
paper. pocket book, pins and
matches, and gloves in winter.
The lady shonld not only have
all these, but also, thimble,
scissors and needles. These
should be carried on the per
son at all times. In addition
to these, about ones dormitory
there are many other articles
indispensable for proper COM
fort. The basin and water yes
sci and comb and brush, the
most careless provide. But
many neglect the tooth brush,
backing and brush and soap,
and much fretting is often the
consequence. iasa .Ja.se
In addition to these, much
comfort will be attained by
keeping always on hand a foot
tub, water boiler and shovel
and tongs, and kindling wood
and slippers.
In matters involving person.
al comfort, the gentleman and
lady of the old regime needed
much waiting on. One should
accustOnl himself to be his own
servant in these matters, for
but few can calculate with Ger
tainty in being able always to
hire this service.

We have no exciting news
from the war to report this
week. Paris is still holding out
against a blockade, for no Sc
we're seige has yet begun. The
ePrussians are pushing their
columns throughout France, as
it for Il permanent occupation
OF the country. They continu-
ally receive vast accessions to
their armies. The French are
endeavoring to organize small
armies, in comparison, not
amounting to more than two or
three hundred thousand men,
and with these, they are not
likely to affect anything. They
dave also adopted the guer-
9rilla idea, and are sending out
Hight troops, called tireurs, to
farass the Prussians. If thew
adopt this plan, in any great
degree, they will more thor
oughly destroy their own re-
sources, as was fully exempli-
fed in the small trial we made
9of it in our late war.
We take it that France is
hopelessly conquered, and will
have TO yield entirely to the
dictation Of Prussia, as Prussia
did formerly to France, after
the battles Of Jena and Auer-
stadt.

HAS A RIGHT TO VoTE.As He
PLEAsEs.-We never attend
political meetings or caucuses
of any kind, and belong body
and soul to no political party.
We like to be free to think and
act for ourself. The managers
of political parties tell us to do
one thing to-day, and the con-
trary thing tomorrow. In evil
dence of this, any Democrat
previous to three or four weeks
ago, who would have expressed
himself in favor of negro suf-
frage, and negroes holding of
fee, would have been called a
negro himself, ostracised So
cially and expelled from the
party. On the 10th of last
month, the Democratic Central
Committee of this State decid-
ed that negroes would be adj
admitted to seats in their body,
seats in the State convention
to be held in New Orleans this
month, and would be elevated
to public office by the Demo
cratic party. We have no OBJ
lection to this; because, as in
dividuals and not infallibIe
either, they can do as they
please; but when they, as the
self-coustituted managers of a
party, make such a summer
sault as this, we claim that
other individuals and the peo-
pie at large have a perfect right
to think and act as they deem
best, without being dictated to
by this or any other such COM
mittee.-[Opeloasas Journal.

PAMPERED APOSTATES.-FrOm the
State Capital We hear OF new enemies
to the Republican cause; and those
here who receive the information are
gleeful over the acquisition to the
ranks of the Democracy of one or two
men who have in times past, and i'll
all the lifetime of the Republican
party, been honOred with offices of
profit and trust. We wish the DemOc-
racy joy of these recruits if they have
them. They will demand high reward
for their treason, and when we'll estab-
liShed in the new household will be as
ripe for new acts of treason as they
now are.-lWhite Pine News.
The importance OF whatever of apos-
tacy there may be, now or hereafter,
apparent in this immediate atmos-
phere is much magnified by distance.
Doubtless the shock of defeat caused
temporary disaffection;
but as the colors begin to be fouted
and the old war cries are uttered and
the old comrades in arms once more
array themselves tor the fight, all but
the coolest bloOded ones-they with
out whose presence the party is the
better Off-will swing into line. If
not, indeed; if it is to be proven that
the Republican party has been held
up by a contingent of mercenaries,
camp followers and plum
der-hunters, it had better 60 to pieces
II for nothing else than to he recon-
and rebaptised- But we think
better of it than TO believe it to be held
by such base, unworthy ma
terials. We do not believe the Repub-
licans of Nevada will defeat what is, in
the main, the best ticket they ever PUT
before the voters of the State.

GENERAL GARFIELD ON THE SITUA-

before an Ohio audience, Gen. Garfield
"a very distinguished member Of

The Democratic party, by Vallandig-

some truth and some error in this.
The question this Fall is (which of
these parties will you trust?" In the
past, note, first, that every proposition
the Republicans have made in the
last ten years has been approved of
and carried out, and the propositions
by the Democratic party, for the same
period, have been repudiated by the
American people. The Administra-
ton is charged with wastefulness.
Compare it with that of Buchanan or
johnson. Buchanan found the Gov
eminent owing $4,000, 900 and he left
it owing SO, 90 900 1t took 81 ,3OO, 900
to keep one of its regiments year. 1t
takes only 500, 900 to keep one now
the same time. The Democratic party
complain of debt. Who made it? 1t
lies 1t their door. No Republican ever
seeded. The hope of division ir the
North was the chief cause of extend
ing the war. johnson, in the last year

looked hearty and strong; and we
may expect him before many days, to
