PROSPECTUS
OF
The L0uisianian.

In the endeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoUIsIANIAN,
propose to fill necessity which has
been long, and sometimes painfully
,e,t TO exist. In the transition state
o.our people, in their struggling efforts
10 attain that position in the Body
Polite, which We conceive to be their
due, it is regarded that much inform
ation, guidance, encouragement, cOun
-el and reproof have been lost, in
consequence of the lack of a medium,
through which these Deficiencies might
he supplied. We shall strive to make
the LoUIsIASIAN a desidcratum in these
r~pects.

DO THE BIRDS FLY TOO
FAST?

We observe that the managers of
some Of the Agricultural Societies
still adhere to the doctrine that there
is moderate rate Of speed-some-
thing like travelling half mile in
half a day-beyond which it is not
desirable that horses should 90. At
the same time, these very men warm
ly commend to farmers the care and
protection of birds. Swallows are
especially favorites with them.
Swallows devour innumerable des-
tructive insects, and farmers are ad-
vised to cherish birds of this des-
cription as among their best friends
and greatest benefactors.
Have these managers of Agricul-
tural Societ'e, considered that the
utility of swallows and some other
kinds of birds is dependent chiefly
upon the swiftness of the fight
Might not these wiseacres, with
equal show of reason, protestagainst
birds flying 30 fast, as they now
protest against the greatest possible
rate Of speed in horses?
When the Creator gave to man
dominion over the beasts of the
field, did He give that dominion
with the design that man should
improve these animals, or With the
design that they should detsriorate
under man g dominion?
If the Almighty intended the
speed of the horse to be limited to
that of the OK. Why did he endow
the horse with the capacity to travel
faster than the ox2 Do the phari-
saicaf pretenders who proclaim their
cant against too great speed in
horses imagine, in their seh-sufici-
ency and arrogance, that they could
have performed the work Of creation
better2 One would think 80, from
the way they talk.
1t seems to us just about as IA.
tional to undertake to fix standard
beyond which birds shall not go in
flying. as to fix one beyond which
horses shall not 60 in trot.ing.

DARWINISM.

we Will Low pass on, remarked
the rural Snowman, "to behold the
wisdom of Providence as displayed
in the ring-tailed monkey" Mr..
Darwin entreats our attention to
the same inspiring theme. He
does not, to be sure, deduce the
wisdom OF Providence from him.
But he gives us in place of the
fervor of religion the warmer per-
sonal interest of consanguinity in
the subject of his researches. It
may be humiliating to our vanity to
be assured that the rubricated
baboon which disports itself in its
gilded bower in the menagerie is
not only kinsman, but the lineal
and accurate representative of an
older branch of the family, who is
entitled to regard us with the same
disgust which we commonly feel for
him, by reason of our having lost
those peculiarities of fingers and of
tail which are unquestionably here
ditary traits with him. But, as MIR.
Darwin remarks, perhaps with a
covert sarcasm upon the first chap
ter Of Genesis, it is more creditable
to be descended from an organic
monkey than from a handful of in
organic dust. The misfortune of
his position is that, as he does not
attempt to account for the monkey
or any other original form of life,
we are driven back to the ultimate,
and what Mr.. Darwin considers the
less fattering, hypothesis of the
inorganic dust" and obliged to
submit to the additional humiliation
of pedigree derived through the
graceful polyp and the patient
oyster, if not through the humble
turnip and the plebeian squash. 1t
has always been considered ample
evidence of relationship upon the
stage to disclose q strawberry-mark
upon the left arm. Certainly the
existence OF an aborted tail is as
affecting and as conclusive o token.

HOME CIRCLE.
CARELESS OR CRUEL HUS-
BANDS-WHICHP

We are constantly in the receipt
of letters from sore-hearted wives
stating. domestic griefs and asking
for advice, Of which the following
extract will give our readers some
idea. The writer, after few ex-
planatory statements, says:
II was . happy wife until about
a month ago, when / invited a
friend of mine-a widow-to spend
few weeks with me. She accepted
the invitation, and since she came,
my husband is constantly with her.
In the evening they sing together,
and in the daytime he takes her
out horseback riding. Now, I
won't say that I am Jealous, but it
does make me feel bad to think
that he is SO easily won from my
side. Please think this worthy OF
an answer, and tell me what is the
b est way to dc"
This is a mild case, in comparison
with the great majority which are
submitted to us: but it will serve to
point moral which sadly needs
pointing in these days. In this
husbands neglect of his wife and
devotion to the stranger, it is easy
to see those germs of domestic dis
quietude which are so apt to BIOS
som into family discord, and cul-
inmate in disruption and divorce.
The question naturally arises, Why
do husbands do such things? Do
they perpetrate them from careless
ness, or from cruelty? without
thought or with deliberate inten-
ton? Whatever the reason, the
result is disastrous. It is down.
right cruel and wicked for q man
thus to slight his wife and wound
her feelings, and no husband can
do it without reaping that retribu-
tive reward which inevitably avenges
the violation Of Divine law: "Yet
we say, Wherefore? Because he
'EoAO hath been ,Citness betrsen thee
and the ,cye 9f thy youth, against
,c].on, thou hast dealt beacherousiy;
get is she thy companion, and the ,vye
Of thy covenant. y Therefore, take
heed to your spirit, and let none deal
treacherously against the wye Of his
youth"

POET r Y.
LOVE AND WAR.

He crossed the mountain-paths alone,
Quick-radiant as the tender morn:
He wooed me by the altar-stone,
Where all our VOWS were sworn.
I heard the lark sing round his nest
i heard, from loves divine eclipse
His breast was burning on my breast,
His lips upon my lips.
Full sweet and glorious were his words,
Like bells that ring with marriage glee
But War leaped ont of hell, and stole
My lord from me.
Wild clarions shook the commonweal;
The legions of. the land arose;
They swept like glancing streams of steel
To smite the nations foes.
/ saw the hosts at early morn
Wind westward in their bearded might
l heard the giggling bugle-horn
Laugh at the drums delight:
l held the stirrup for his foot,
The best in that bright company;
One word-one kiss-and then he flashed
Like light from me.
Came one at length with trembling pace,
And fearful speech, and wandering eye
A thousand deaths were in his face,
And one poor victory.
Another and another came,
With mangled limb and bleeding breast,
Who blew new-kindled fires of fame
OF heroes gone to rest:
Then came the laurelled legions home,
To lovers waiting witsfully:
But oh, dear Lord, he never came
To me-pOor me!
l know not if walked or swept
That weary, weary, woful night;
l only know l never wept-
My eyes were dry as light:
Yet in trance I seemed to thread
The horrors Of the battle-plain;
l found my hero cold and dead
Above the conquered slain:
And then he seemed to be alive;
1 clssped him-oh, how tenderly!
Twas but his ghost that soothed my arms:
God pity me!

Mpn6RcIfY.

The Democratic programme is becoming
plainly revealed. The cloven foot has made
its appearance all over the State. The plan
is to carry the coming election at all costs,
and by every means; to that end free speech
must be suppressed, Republican speakers
silenced and abused, and even their wives
insulted.-Stats Journal
Truth cannot be expected from the
above source but lest the uniformed
should be deceived, let it be told:
In every instance in the present
canvass, not only in this District, but
throughout the entire State, the Demo,
cratic candidates have been scrupu.
lousy careful to invite their Republi-
can opponents TO meet them in discus.
sion. By reference to our issue of
Saturday, it will be seen that Judge
Hancock, in publishing his appoint
ments to speak at different places,
cordially invites his opponent, Mr..
Degener, 10 meet him and such has
been and is the practice in every, dis
trict in the State. The Journal should
rather apply the above remarks to its
own party; for, nowhere has Governor
Davis allowed reply to his haraDgues.
He only desires to appeal to the preju-
dices of the colored race, and does not
wish replies. The Waxahachie Demo.
crat has the proof that our modern
Caesar has even threatened to have men
arrested if they attempt to reply to
him.

The Governors order and the
Ku.KIux Law.

We have in this paper more than
once intimated that several things set
forth in this remarkable "order' of his
Excellency, Gov. Davis, countersigned
and promulgated by Adjutant General
Davidson, is in plain violation of the
late act of Congress, commonly called
the Ku Klux law; and several eminent
legal gentlemen of this city have since
declared the same opinion in public
speeches in this city. This opinion
has not, as we are aware of, been called
In question by any one, Republican,
Radical or Democrat The particular
discussion of this legal question is
rather suited to the courts of justice
than to our columns. But we feel it to
be our duty as journalists and senti-
nels upon the Watch-towers of public
liberty, to call attention to the subject,
to the end that the authorities may
have time to reconsider their proposed
action under this ill-considered and
illegal order-and also that our people
may be able to claim for themselves
all the protection against its enforce
ment which the laws of the land afford
Now, we affirm, that when the second
section of this Ku Klux act is care
fully examined, it will appear that it
not only provides fne or Imprisonment,
or both, as the punishment for in any
manner interfering with the right of
voting at elections; but it also provides
a means of preventing this unlawful
interference. 1t plainly provides for
the punishment of threat" to do so.
either by "force or intimidation" by
'any two or more persons" The same
section of the act expressly recognized
the right of the citizen to be protected
in the support and advocacy of his
favorite candidate for Congress
which necessarily pre-supposes the right
to ASSEMBLE and discuss the merits of
candidates, and to argue with and per-
suade his fellow-citizens to come to his
opinion. This has always been the
law, and the universal practice in all
parts of the United States, and is ex.
pressly protected by the Ku KIux law.
But it is as expressly FORBIDDEN by the
Governors "Order," under the pain of
being instantly arrested by the mill
tary. This is plainly threat of force
to prevent the exercise of we'll de-
fined legal right of the citizen It is
well calculated to intimidate, and was
so intended, else it could have had no
object. Let this point be examined in
the courts, and let us hear what the
Governor and his Adjutant General
can say before the Federal tribunals
in excuse for this glazing THREAT of
force to prevent citizens from the free
support and advocacy of their favorite
candidates tor Congress.
The prevention of this wrong is far
better than compensation ia damages,
or redress for its preparation by fine
and imprisonment. Let it be tried by
all means.
