himself. Col. bennett appears to
have taken his measure very ef-
fectually, and this is the result:
We would be pleased if the
chief engineer of the Pacific
Railroad would enlighten the
world in relation to the solid con-
tents, cubic measure, Of Joss
Bigney's brains, the superficial
area, land measure, in acres, of
his 'broad-thoughtcd' mind, the
extent, long measure, in leagues,
of his "mental range of vision,"
and the tonnage of his capacious
skull.
By mathematical calculation
we have no doubt it can be clear
" shown that the skull OF this
gigantic editor has ample capacl-
ty to hold the brain of every
country editor in the State, and
the entire thinking apparatus OF
half q dozen city editors besides.
Country editors who visit the
city arc advised to get permission
to occupy Il window in the thlrd
story Of one of the stores near
the Times office and get a good
look at Joss as he leaves the
F Office after business hours. No
tice critically the summit OF that
mortal column from whence wis
dom descends upon the multi
} tude like refreshing showers upon
, drouthy crops. Notice, as he
> leaves the Office, the newsboys

\ open mouths, as Arabs gaze up
D on a sphinx; and as he moves
D along Camp street, notice the
D people looking up to get a view

Missouri and Louisiana.

The debt Of Missouri amounts
to lust about Il dollar n head.
The debt of Louisiana amounts
to over thirty dollars head, and
OF the heads among which the
amount is divided, 365, 1854 have
not n straight hair upon them,
and probably 100000 do not pay
even a poll tax, or at least own
no property TO be taxed. If all
the live stock in the State was
sold at fair valuation, it would
lack ten millions of dollars of
paying the debt. If all the inn
proved lands in the State were
sold at $40 per acre, it would
barely pay what Louisiana owes;
and if all the lands in the State,
improved and unilnproved, were
sold at one dollar per acre, it
would just about square us up.
In 1869 our bonded debt amount
ed to less than 100000; in two
Y ears we have attained the limit
of S25, 100000, and for next year
have an estimated deficit OF 49,
OOO,O 900 in revenues as compared
with necessary current expenses
and interest. OF course this
frightful debt has been made
with the full concurrence of the
taxpayers Of the State and with
special reference to their combined
good. But, what 4 happy people
they must be, who owe only one
dollar Il head!

to arms, and pledge them
selves that they will not. again
aid 4 movement to dissolve the
Union. But it is poor evidence
that one will be loyal to any
thing, if after devoting himself
entirely to a cause, as in the case
Of Southern men who fought for
the South during the war, he can
so soon and with such great fu-
cility turn his back upon his acts
and opinions, as some OF orr
Southern men proposed to do
now in the matter of their aid
and struggles in behalf of the
Confederacy. Onr people can
cooperate with those against
whom they fought, in all honora-
ble efforts to uphold and defend
the Union, and perpetuatc the
blessings of the Constitution. In
this noble work they can labor as
effectually and as honestly and as
persistently asift they had followed,
the Union, instead of the Conted-
crate, flag. This government does
not need that its defenders should
abase themselves and become tho
objects of foreign ridicule and con-
tempt. It's honor and its rights
must be maintained by men, and
the record Of the SOuth's struG-
giles and Of the deeds Of her SONS
operate to-day fully as much to
command the respect, admiration
and fear of Europe, rs the record
made by the soldiers of the
North. Lee, Stonewall Jackson
and Sidney Johnston fought and
, led heroes whose deeds give I'M
dying lustre to the name of
> America and will ever illuminate
the pages Eof Americas history
This Union is not ashamed OF
such men now; other nations en-
w their fame, the world itself
looks upon them as the highest
type of the human race. Who
dare turn his back upon men
such as these?

We are not surprised that the
editor of the Planters Banner
has fallen under tho displeasure
of the political prisoner" who
runs the columns of the New
Orleans Times. Bunsby is pig
my in egotism by the side of
Bigney, and Col. bennett might
have known that to doubt in any
thing the authority of the Times
to dictate ideas to the country
press, was equivalent to explod-
ing an insufferable amount of
egotism and gas about his head.
Still, the Banner, now that the
coalition for forming a third
party is dissolved and the two
papers no longer are fighting to-
gcther in that cause, hits Dali
bootz OF the Times a few de-
cidedly telling blows. OF the
politics of the Times, the Banner
can form no satisfactory idea,
and neither, we suppose, can any
one else. But as to Dai-bootz,

crest on the bonds. without re-
lucing the debt.
What is needed now, is speedy
action and unmistakablc encour-
agement to railroad enterprises.
For four years at least we have
been discussing various railroad
projects, and it is time, if ever,
some definite, reliable, positive
steps should be taken. We have
slumbered too long already. We
want more life, more enterprise,
more vigor, more labor, more
public improvements,-and the
sooner we set out in this direc-
ton; the better for every interest
within our borders.
1t Is easy to see how the spirit
| to aid public works. whenever it
determines to assert itself, can
accommodate the ways and
means to the law aud the exigen-
cies of the occasion. This parish
has a real estate value Of 81 ,692,-
COS. One per cent of this amount
it was proposed should be paid
ANNUALLY to the building of rail-
roads within tho parish. Thus,
supposing the whole subscription
should have been called for in
one year, the amount of subscrip-
ton might have been fixed, until
bonds could be authorized, at
S26, 900 per annum, and this
amount to be divided between
the roads whenever they had
completed ten miles Of road
Long before this work could
have been done, bonds could be
authorized and a subscription OF
two or three hundred thousand
dollars in bonds made. Mean.
while, confidence would have been
begotten in the several enter
prises, and in our support; the
companies might have been or
gained, and put all preliminary
arrangements on foot, and this
might have been done before, I'M
der the present plan, the first sim
gle step will be taken.
| We trust that the railroad con-
vention to assemble here on the
18th, will result in something
more to the purpose than did the
meeting last Saturday. There
are abundant means to answer
the popular demand for immedi-
bate encouragement to railway en-
terprises, and there is no sound
pretext, even, for longer delay
The law is sufficient for all pre-
liminary purposes, and, it might
be claimed, is good enough just
as it stands for any purpose
whatever,

Turning the Rack upon the Past.

1t is becoming rather tashiona-
BILE for prominent men and ex-
soldiers of the late Confederacy
to say they have turned their
backs upon the past. Now, when
we turn our back upon the past,
with all it's glorious recollections
and noble dead, we just want
some able-bodied friend of ours to
blister our back with Il horse
whip and brand II on our fore
head. We never believed in Sc
cession, either as a right reserved,
OF remedy for the election of
Lincoln, but neither have we ever
believed the Constitution, as it was,
could be construed to justify CO.
ercion. We stand to that belief
yet, face to face; we stand up for
the hallowed graves of our dead
comrades, maintaining that they
fell in good, meritorious and
sublime cause.-the cause of self
government. upon which this
Union was built and must stand,
or cease to be a Republic. We
never fought for anarchy, or mon
archy, or an oligarehy-for mil
itary commissions, for taxation
without representation, for force
bills, for agrarianism, free-love-
ism, or Voudooism; but for the
natural right of the people to
govern themselves and because
on: people were already engaged
in war. Is there anything in
this a man should be ashamed of
and hasten to bury in oblivion
Turn our back upon the acts of
Ben Buttler-upon the black
crimes of N1cNeil-upon the saw
lgery of Turchin, deeds and men
alike a disgrace to civilized war
fare No man in the North
could expect it; no man in the
South can do it, without dishon-
oring the dead, and doing that
which his own manhood and
heart must condemn.
Nor is it necessary, do we con-
ceive, for Southern men, in order
to prove their loyalty to the
American government, to be
guilty of turning their back |
upon the past" They may, ifl
they choose, very properly main
tain that the South made a mis-
take, q very great mistake in re-
