Nr. iHif1r:-We as the friends
of good government need 10 insist
/ OH lrss talk. and more to purpose.
The silent working men who go
20 their farms aud Offices, with an
unliring resolution, show 20 the
tie making prating trash OF the
land, II lesson they need to learn.
! If those, who talk 50 much about
the faults of others, would say
anything that woull fire the heart
Of the true patriot, they might lie
excused. Bat unfortunately for
them, their speech only serves to
lay them up in the minds Of ali
honest, thinking men, who,
when they come TO wear the
"civic garland will nicely bury
such beneath the dark and heavy
folds of oblivion.
The will out. Men, whose
nerves fash fire, sending energy
and health to every function Of
this great nation, are the very
men that will take care of the in
terest of our struggling people.
Although these, iii common with
others, have Sc n their heart-hopes
wasted, yet they by their love Of
peaceful government, and constant
toll, will bring again the days of
peace and prosperity. Let such
not be afraid CT holding their peace
too long, The medicine already
administered, together with the
great fact that right will prevail,
will purge the country of the idle;
D, lish d, and presumptuous gentle
men, who would for position take
their brothers birthright.
The operation will doubtless
cause great pain in some parts of
the body polite; but there must
be an action; and Peter, who fol
fear of being thought an accom-.
plice of innocence and virtue, told
a lie e.; and Jud1s, who for money
sold bis people and their interest,
will pass ofl in the event.
The throes of The nation have
already set ojar the gates that
have for awhile held in suhjec
ton the lovers of constitutional
liberty of both north and south
and to-day, we see these faithful
on pilgrimage to Pisgah, from
whose towering heights they viii
again behold land flowing Will
milk and honey. Nor is this all
The hands which have been pal
sled by oppression, will grasp the
staff, which bears proudly anr
aloft the insignia of true govern
ment; while the States in concer
will set up the universal shout
Eureksi
Ho! ye firm, silent, working
men. Keep .Shiboleth ON You

let yonr eloquence evince to your
enemies that you are conscious of
the right. Look well to the ford,
of Jordan, lest some struggling
Ephraimite gets across, who would

grapes of Eschol. Be firm t.
those of your own party. If on

THE COURTs
50 Fourth District Cours.

This court was in session only shor
time Yesterday morning, engaged in calling
cases for the next November term
In the case of William Barnes VS.. Edward
Thompson, involving the liquidation o1
partnership affairs, the jury has returned q
verdict in favor of plaintiff
In the suit of S. L. Langion vs. the New
Orleans Insurance Association, the rule FOL
a new trial was dismissed.
The case of the city praying for the open
ingof Royal and Casacalvo streets, has been
taken under advisement by Judge Theard.
r ,hof Eighth District Court.
The several cases of. Anderson, McMillen,
Whitney and Merle VS.. james Graham,
Auditor, came up yesterday on the inter
vention of the State. The petitioners in
these cases claim to be holders of certain
warrants or orders issued by the warrant
clerk j. Pinckney Smith, on the State OF
Louisiana, for contingent expenses OF the
Legislature of the State at its late session
of 1871. They demand to be paid under the
general appropriation for the contingent
expenses of the Assembly for 1000, for
which these warrants were drawn.
The State intervenes to prevent the is
suance of the warrants upon the following
grounds:
l. That there is no appropriation against
which respondent could draw warrants as
claimed by relator, even if they are entitled
to be paid, which she specially denies.
2. Because the orders on which applica-
ton is made by relate. for State warrants
have been illegally issued and are null and
void and that the State of Louisiana is not
bound for the payment thereof g.
For these reasons, interven0r prays that
mandamus be refused at REALTORS cost, and
for general relief. tfA4H
1t seems that there are held warrants for
contingent expenses to an amount largely
in excess of the appropriation OF 5000,
and the question to be determined is who
shall and who shall not be paid. As but
$ l25,O0O have been appropriated and over
100000 have been issued, somebody must
be out of pocket. 1t is thought Judge Dibble
will render decision in the matter at an
aor11- 1.,x,
