here, he thanked him for that. But as
he might be interrupted again, and as
he did not want to subject himself to
another interruption, he would give
way to the social enjoyments of the
evening; but first, never let our hearts
cease to throb with the memories of
the past. We did once surrender a
Fort Sumter, and over it waved the
banner of the Sonth. Here, in our
hearts, is Fort Sumter, and over it
waves the flag of the stars and bars
All the storms of earth may beat against
it, but it is inipregnable. Never say
Surrender to any foe. Let us keep
our hearts unconquered, stand firm
over the ruins of liberty and the graves
of our heroes, and protest against any
policy which would bid us neglect their
memories. 1t is good to be loyal, but
the best loyalty is our loyalty, which
centres where there is no mercenary
consideration to attach it, on the bright
est page of human history.

Taxes.

MIR. ED1roR-
While rival Police Juries are con.
testing the legality Of their oppo'
nents' claims to office, permit one Of
of those who have to pay the piper
to call the attention of both bodies
to an important change in the law
which will diminish the taxes of this
Parish.
Heretofore the Police Jury annually
taxed the people of this Parish TWEEN
ty-five hundred or three thousand
dollars, to pay the Costs Of Criminal
Prosecutions. At one period h c
State paid the costs and expenses Of
Criminal proceedings, out of the
Treasury. Then this burthen was
imposed on the respective Parishes
Now neither one pays, but the crimi.
nails themselves foot the bill
Revised Statues of 1870 p. ISL sec.
761, reads: "The clerks of Courts
shall only be entitled to collect any
of the foregoing costs from parties in
prosecutions for fines or penalties
condemned to pay the Costs, and
not from the State or Parish"
Sec 765. provides: every Sheriff
in this State shall be entitled to One
Hundred Dollars per anuum, and
every Clerk to Fifty Dollars per an
nun as a compensation for their ser
vices in matters of criminal nature,
pending in their respective Courts. y
The first section referred to men
tons only Clerks Costs. Will the
Lawyers tell US whether the Sheriff S
Costs are to be paid in like manner.
The other section in providing for
an annual fixed payment to both Of
ficers, does not designate where it is
to come from. But the tax payer
is only concerned to know that he is
relieved from an enormous burthen
which was formerly laid on him eve
ry year, and for which there was
never any good reason. For why
should not the criminal pay the Costs
of his prosecution as Defendant in
a civil suit does? And if he is not
able to pay, the officer must lose it
as the Plaintiff loses in like case.

ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.-A French
physician is out in long dissertation
on the advantages of g-oaning and cry
ing in general, especially during surgi-
cal operations. He contends that groan-
ing and crying are two grand opera
tons by which nature allays anguish;
that those patients who give way to
their natural feelings, more speedily
recover from accidents and operations
than those who suppose il unworthy .
man to betray such symptoms Of cow
ardice as either to groan or cry. He
tells of man who reduced his pulse
from one hundred and twenty six to
sixty, in the course of a few hours, by
giving full vent to his emotions. If
people are at all unhappy about any
thing let them 60 into their looms and
comfort themselves with a loud boo
hoo and they feel a hundred per cent
better afterward.
In accordance with the above the
crying of chrildren should not be too
greatly discouraged. If it is systemat-
ically repressed, the result may be st.
Yitus' dance, epileptic fits, or some
other disease of the nervous system.
What is natural is nearly always use,
full, and nothing can be more natural
than the crying of children when any
thing occurs to give them physisai OF
mental pain.-(Exchange.

A Chapter Of Facts.
TAX PAYER.

Space is valuable in a newspaper,
and it is therefore proposed in this adj
verhsement to condense q variety of
facts, important to the public, into a
small compass. Those facts refer to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-what that
celebrated medicine is, and what it
will do. In the first place, then, the
article is stimulant, tonic and altera-
tive, consisting of a combination of an
absolutely pure spirituous agent with
the most valuable medicinal vegetable
substances that Botanic research has
placed at the disposal of the chemist
and the physician. These Ingredients
are compounded with great care, and
in such proportions as to produce a
preparation which invigorates without
exciting the general system, and tones,
regulates and controls the stomach,
the bowels, the liver, and the minor
secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do
must be gathered from what it has
done. The case of dyspepsia, or any
other form of indigestion, in which it
has been persistently administered
without effecting radical cure, is yet
to be heard from, and the same may
be said of bilious disorders, intermit-
tent levers, nervous affections, general
debility, constipation, sick headache,
mental disabilities to which the feeble
are so subject. 1t purifes all the flu
ids of the body, including the blood,
and the gentle stimulus which it i'm
parts to the nervous system is not sue
ceeded by the slightest reaction. This
is chapter Of facts which readers, for
their own sakes, should mark and re-
member.

1--WE car at last, report very ia
vorable change in the weather and riv.
er. For the past six weeks both have
been great source OF annoyance to
our whole community, and now both
have changed base. The late daily
rains have passed away, and now we
have good, clear, hot sunshine. This
is just what our planters and farmers
desire, and have made good Roadway
all the past week. The river has fall
len about eighteen inches, and reced-
ing faster and faster every hour.

ty The Republican State Conven-
ton of Ohio nominated General Ed
ward F. Noyes, of Cincinnati, for Gov
ernor by reclamation. Old Ben Wade
who was not only willing but on the
anxious seat, was nowhere. General
Noyes is said to be an able man and a
brave soldier, having lost a leg at
Atlanta. While the Radicals were
taunting the Democrats about their
"new departure" it seems that they
themselves had to steal great deal of
Democratic thunder to make their own
Platform palatable in Ohio. The con-
test will be a warm one and will be
decided in great measure on personal
grounds.

j. Y. L. MCMAHoN.-At the time of
the accident to Mr.. Vallandigham, his
wife was attending the funeral of her
brother, John Van Lear Mcmahon.
Esq, of Baltimore. Mr.. McMahon was
one of the most eminent of the old
regime of distinguished Maryland iu-
rlsts. He was a native of Maryland,
graduated at Princeton College in 1917,
and was more than seventy years old
at the time of his death. He served a
short time i'll the Maryland Legisla-
ture and was a Presidential elector on
the jackson ticket His brilliant can
vass in that campaign acquired for him
a wide reputation, and General Jack
son is said to have offered him any
place i'll his Cabinet he might select
But he uniformly declined political
preferment. The contests of the forum
were more congenial to his tastes, and,
if ambitious at all, he was satisfied
with the fame acquired in the prac-
tice of profession to which he was
devoted.

Death CT c. l.. yallanGigham.

Since our last issue we have re-
ceiyed the melancholy intelligence
of the sad accident which resulted
in the death Of the Hon. Clement
L. Vallandieham. of Ohio. Com
ing at this particular time his loss
is sad one not only to his party
and State, but will be felt through
out the whole country. He had
Just succeeded in leading the Dem
ocracy of Ohio into a position fav-
orable for success at the approach
ing election, and it only needed his
personal leadership to secure a tri-
umphant victory at the polls in Oc-
tober. Such men are rare in the
Democratic party, either in Ohio or
elsewhere, an d cannot well be
spared in such a crisis as that
through which the Democracy is
now passing.
Mr.. VallaTdiSlam was native
Of Ohio, we believe, and was in the
49th year of his age, He was ear
ly admitted to the bar, and had at
tanned considerable cminence as
an advocate particularly in crimi-
nal trials. He was engaged i'll an
important murder trial away from
home at the time the accident oc-
cured by Which he lost his life. He
was a short time a member of the
Legislature of Ohio, was elected to
Congress in 1857 over Lewis d..
Campbell, and was e-elected to the
succeeding Congress. While in
Congress he took a high stand as
a debater, and attracted general at
tention by his answering Democ-
racy and the boSdness With which
he maintained bis position On the
prominent questions of the day. In
1868 he was the Democratic can
didate for governor Of Ohio and
though he received more votes than
any candidate ofany party had
ever received before, he was de-
clared defeated. He was subsc-
Quently accused Of hostility to the
Union cause and banished to the Con
federacy. He returned to Ohio
before the end of the war. He was
in the New York convention in
1868, and it was through his exer-
tons principally that the nomlna-
ton for President fell on Governor
Seymour after Mr.. Pendleton's
chances were seen to be helpless.
Mr.. acknowledgements private life
was very exemplary, and his gen.
eral popularity was shown by the
crowd of mourners which attended
his funeral. Even the chaplain
who opened the Republican State
Convention with prayer alluded to
his death in the most feeling man
ner. We repeat that his loss is
national one.

Don PIATT ON GREELEY.-The fol-
lowing, from the Washington Capital.
is first-rate specimen of "damning
with faint praises"
The New York Tribune is managed
by Western man, of far more knowl-
edge, precision and Wilderness than
Mr.. Greeley, who is perhaps the only
weak man on the paper. Mr.. Gree
ley's weakness arises less from his car
dinal ignorance than his delight i'll pa
rading it. Originally of benignant
temper ament, somewhat like Abou
Ben Adhem, he dreamed when he
should have been thinking, and formed
his opinions before he had read any
thing. We behold him, therefore, with
monstrous industry, seeking to con-
struct mutual robbery into buttress
OF enlightened government, and guide
the nation whichshe helped make free
into commercial principals almost as
bad as slavery. Aspiring to be both
an editor and a politician, he has
spoiled two good capacities; and when
to those Incompatible pursuits he joins
the philosopher and tlIeologiau, we be-
hold Benjamin Franklin in caricature.
The smattering Of household and farm
science which he has spread through
the rural region will require years of
schooling to eradicate, and more than
any instance in memory he and his
disciples exemplify the danger of ga
little learning" But he has led pure
life. according to our belief, which
might have been a great life had it
possessed some real humility, and he
has established paper which the
young men around him have redeem
ed, in the tone and fullness of their
news, from the general stupidity of his
editorial opinions. 1t is one of the
greatest newspapers in the world, and
it it had been as Influential twenty
Gears GO we should have been 2 ca.

Uncertainty.

lutte despair, is more torturing than
uncertainty. Like ship at sea, when
frequent gusts bow her tall masts,
and laundering waves roll over her,
when skies alternately lurid and black,
by turns, threaten or encourage hope
this cruel and tempestuous uncer-
tainty agitates and agonizes the per-
turbed spirit. It is wounding i'll,
which gradually, but surely, wears
out the springs of life. It's corrosive
injury, even patience is powerless to
heal, while rest is denied it's helpless
victim. Action being paralized, the
suspended soul waves like a pendu-
lum, and intensely feels it's want Of
direction.
Hope deferred, we are told. makes
the heart sick, and this is only one
form of uncertainty. Desire and ex-
pectation lend hope her rainbow
hues, and all that has been said and
sung Of her power but half discloses
her benign and beautiful influence.
But hope may only in light degree
miagle with uncertainty; apprehen-
sion drives her from the field and
clanks his iron chain about the SORE
ly beset spirit.
What writing and collapse from
overmastering emotion does one ez-
perience whose life hangs in the bal
ance, while he awaits final decision i?
It is not easy to imagine that awful
interval occupied by uncertainty
when prisoner awaits his death
doom, or acquittal, as jury may de-
eide. Could such a situation be
comprehended by those curiously
waiting the fat, horror would freeze
every vein, and the half-congealed
blood would return slowly to that
citadel of life, the heart. This form
of uncertainty comprehends, perhaps,
its most appalling phase.
Nevertheless, in other instances,
redily occurring to the intelligent
mind, it's evil influence often appears
A merchant, having large ventures
on the deep, watches the heavens, and
trembles while daily reports of wealth
~er are spread before his eye, and
finds his slumbers disturbed when a
thunder-shower sends down big, pat
tering drops on his domicil, be it a
cottage or more aspiring mansion.
Uncertainty is the demon which
plant his pillow with thorns, and
makes night hideous with disastrous
suggestions.
But, however uncertain life may be
however subject to uncertainty its
friends or its fortunes, we well know
that when this feverish, anxious ex-
istence goes out in the sleep of death
it will arise to another and stable
state of life, and will forever bid
adieu to uncertainty and mutation of
every kind. Who does not long for
that holier and better life, or does
not exclaim with the immortal Watts:
"To' that our laboring souls aspire
With ardent pangs of strong DESIRE"
