SKEPTInAI..

Mr.. Doyee affects not to believe our
statement of last week in regard to the
advice given us by Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Dunn upon the occasion of our
endeavoring to procure printing con-
tract for the st. James Sentinel
If he does not want to believe it,
best not ask the Lieutenant Governor
whether or not it be truth.
Seek not information of Hon. Geo.
w. Carter, for he might tell you that
it took all his force of persuasion to
convince Governor Dunn that con-
tract given to Mr.. Bovee would be
preferable to allowing Senator Hun
saker to derive the benefit of the pa
rochial and judicial printing.
Ask not Hon. Mortimer Smith what
he knows about it nor Hon. Emerson
Bentley either, for both those gentle
men assisted in obtaining the contract.
Inquire not of your publisher, Mr..
Bovee, whether or not we made the
same statement to him several months
ago, when the pleasant relations ex.
listing between us would put to rout
the idea that we should 4" invent a
circumstance SO lerogatory to your
character.
Don't Edo any Of these things, we
pray you, if the certain knowledge
that our statement was true viii make
YOU uncomfortable.

The Way to Attract Immis grants.
[From the Louisiana Sugar BOWL

From the Louisiana Sugar-Bogl.]
The tenant system, by which the
planters secure to workInen the full
reward Of their labor, by giving them
a portion of the crop, will CERTAINLY
greatly benefit our country but while
that is step in the right direction, it
does not go far enough.
White families desiring to lscate in
a new country will be delighted to
hear that such advantages are offered,
but unless they have assurances that
they can purchase lands, as soon as
they are able, they will be dow to
embrace the protfered opportunities,
fearing that nothing better in the flu
ture was in store for them.
Those planters who, like Mr. Aruns
Sorrel, of Cypremort, in the parish of
st. Mary, not only furnish team, seed,
houses, etc, to commence, but offer
to sell land, on easy terms, to the set
tier, fully comprehend the wants of
the immigrants, and they win be the
first to profit by increased population.
To overcome any prejudice which
may exist against the tenant system
in the minds of poor white men who
wish to locate among us as agricul-
turists, planters should offer TO give
the use of their idle lands, rent free,
for a term of year, allowing the set
tiers to purchase as soon as able.
Such a course on the part of our large
land-holders would enhance the value
of their property hundred per cent.
in remarkably short time, and by
thus increasing our population, not
only give new impetus to business
of all kinds, butsecure to all additional
and religious advantages, as well as
providing us all with greater and inn
proved means of transportation.
Our country, it is universally admit
ted, possesses many advantages over
the Northwest, where the tide of emf
grafton so steadily flows; our soil is
more productive, climate more mild
and healthf1l, markets for products
more accessible; and all that is neees-
sary to secure just proportion of
these hardy and prosperous people
is to offer them advantages equal to
those found in the West.
We sincerely hope that planters in
each neighborhood or parish, who are
willing to give the free use, of their
lands for term of years, or to sell on
easy terms, will hold public meetings,
and so express themselves that it may
be known to the whole world. Moth
ing would give us greater pleasure
than to publish such generous offers.

PERSONAL NOTES.

So sure as we visit New Orleans we
meet with a host of friends and ac-
Nuaintancess Upon the occasion of q
days sojourn in the city this week we
had the pleasure of conversing with
Mrs. A. NJ. G. .Massenaz the spirited
and accomplished lady who edits the
sprightly Magnolia. She expresses an
intention of soon enlarging her paper,
and were happy to learn such evidence
of its prosperity.
Our brother, Hon. Emerson Bentley,
of the Attakapas Register, was down
from st. Mary for few days, and it
was pleasant surprise to meet him.
Superintendent of Public Education
Conway's Office was visited, and that
gentleman and his able assistant, Mr..
NJ. c. Cole, were found hard at work
IN official capacity. Mr.. Conway in
formed us that the New Orleans Jour
s.al would soon lie revived. Glad 20
hear it.
Our young and old friend Judge Fl.
NJ. Dibble still holds sway in the First
Justices Court, and grip of his hand
lid us good.
The editorial rooms of the Repabli-
can were invaded. Mr.. VIM. Young
was there to greet us; il seems to us
ne is never absent from his post.
We also called at the office of the
Loaisiaaian, but failed to see the
pleasant countenance of its able edi-
tor, Mr.. VIM. G. Brown.
Friend John Hartman, of the La
tourehe Times, was in the city getting
readyto try the force Of legal persua-
sion upoa Speaker Carter and Lieu
tenant Governor Dunn and induce
them to sign his printing bills. We
wish him success in the undertaking.

He WISHED TO RETIRE IN THE
CUSTOMARY WAY.-Mr. Justice Davis,
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, while quietly reading by his
parlor fire in Washington, last winter,
was interrupted by knock at the
door. It was an +" interviewer who,
either for his own qualification, or by
direction of a superior, proposed to
ascertain from the Judge his views on
a certain subject. Having stated his
purpose, the Judge deeming his in
trusion an impertinence, arose, and,
drawing his stalwart form to its full
height, said: "Do you know, sir,
what I ought to do with you9 /
ought to throw you out the window"
and advanced a step as if with latent
thought Of executing that maneuyer.
The interviewer backed rapidly to-
ward the door, and replied:
I" I acknowledge, Judge, the entire
propriety of your conclusion, but .
pointing to the door, II beg you viii
allow me to retire in the customary
acay."
Motion granted.
