Looking to the Democracy! The Only
Hope OF the Countr,!!

Speaking of the probable adjournment
Of Congress, Dom Piatt, in Il letter to
the Cincinnati Commercial, thus frankly
acknowledges Il great truth, which, Un-
confessed as yet, lies deep down in the
hearts of millions Of people in the North
and West. He says:
The indications are that Congress Will
adjourn within 1t week, but | would
not be surprised We're they to get into u
muSS lcgiSlating on the tariff and XII
KIuX, so rs to force Mr.. Speaker Blaine
to appoint his committees and go ON
with general legislation. The fact is,
Congress ought to remain in session for
the next three months. To adjourn
now until next December is to hand the
Government over to Ingalls,, Porter,
ISabcOck and Murphy. We have every
reason to fear the rascaIity of some and
the stupidity of all. | do not know af-
ter the action of these Senators in rrla-
ton to Charles Summer that we arc.
much better Off Keeping Congress in
session; but the Democrats have ninety
three votes in the House, and on all
questions not purely political, n cic;u
mujO,jIy, so that there is something of :,
check in that direction, for which W"
must thank God and take courage. II

In London, every eight minutes,
night and day, somebody dies; every
five minutes Il child is born. This
great city contains as many people as
the whole of Scotland, twice as many
rs Denmark, three times as many as
Greece, and four hundred times as
many as Georgetown. IN its vast pop
ulation Of nearly 1000, 900, it has li0,-
600 habitual gin drinkers, 100, 900 aban-
dOned women, 10000 professional gam
blers, $4,000 criminals known to the
police as thieves and receivers of stolen
goods, 100000 hatbitual frequenters of
public houses, 10000 street Arabs. To
keep this vast multitude of disorderly
characters in something like obedience
to the law G0O0 policemen arc necsssa-
ry. OF the population of the city, only
about 100000 attend public worship,
there being a million Of adults absen-
tees from church on every Sunday.

mootcd social equality question:
Recently III the L. :, Court at Spring
field, Illinois, Judge Treat rendered a
decision denying Tn" assumed right of
Il negro to force himself into IL hall of
public entertainment which had been
set apart for white persons. The case
was that Of Il negro who had been
prompted by white Radicals to test
whether til" Civil Rights Bill gives to
persons of African descent the right
which white people do not enjoy, of
taking seats in public halls not intended
for them. MacAllistcr, the Magician,

State House Location Fixed.

The commissioners to select and pur-
chase Il location for new State House
and Executive Mansion, consisting on
the part Of the Senate of the Hon. John
Ray, of Ouachita, and Hon. G. G. An
tome, of Caddo; and on the part of the
House of Messrs. Faulkner, Of ofCnldwell,
Stephens, of Jackson, and Barrett, of
Orleans, have selected the lower line OF
the Foucher property, adjoining the
grounds of Mr.. Edmond Burthe and
others, fronting on st. Charles avenue.
The purchase embraces two squares
front on st. Charles avenue, extending
back five squares, thus giving six hum
drcd feet front and fifteen hundred feet
deep. The price paid was one hundred
thousand dollars "a warrant being drawn
on the State Auditor by the commits
sioncrs for that sum. The grounds are
on the right of ST. Charles avenue, go
ing toward Carroltton, and will extend
to Brcslau street and Fourth street,
Grcenville.
The commissioners will shortly invite
plans and specifications from the nrchi-
tectS of this and other cities for the
State House and Executive Mansion.
1t is contemplated to establish a pub
Tic park on the grounds nearly opposite,
on the lcvcc side of st. Charles avenue
This location and purchase will have
the effect to materially enhance the val
uc of property in the vicinity OF tho new
State House, and will tend to render
holders of extreme uptown real estate
somewhat jubilant.-N. q. Rt2'thlicun.

All the yeas are Republicans and all
the nays arc Democrats; every Rcpub-
lican, who voted ut all, voted for the
degradation Of the Massachusetts Scna-

all, voted against it. Not Il solitary
man of Mr.. Summers party was found
to intcrpose ballot to save him from
the executive vengeance; ; the only Sem
atorS who stood by him in his hunilia-
ton with both voices and votes, were
his political oponents. In his dark
hour of trial, all his party friends for
sock him and fled only Democrats
dared to fight for him to the last. All
Now England abandoned him or turned
against him, but Democratic Kentucky
upheld him.

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

In thinking over every way by which
we can reduce the expenses of the state
and Tighten the tremendous and alarm
ing tax burden likely to hang over us
for years, we will make a reasonable
proposition to the Radical party.
When you concoctcd the printing bill,
which has taken from the Treasury
about two millions of dollars, you had
Il thrce-fold object in view:
l. TO crush the Democratic press.
=. TO force upon the people the Rad
ical press.
3. To sustain that Radical press, in
dependent of the peoples patronage,
until said press could stand alone.
In all this, we suppose, YOU have sue
cecdcd. Then, why not stop the heavy
expense by withdrawing the public
patronage: You know very we'll that
it has, from the beginning, been IL most
shameful vast" of the public money;
and now, It's the points arc all accom-
plishcd, spend not another dollar in
that way.
have not accomplished any of the three
ends in vicw-that you have failed to
crush the Democratic party, to force
upon the people the support of the Rad
ical press, and that you havc failed to
establish the owners of the Radical
press only from tho public funds.
If we arc wrong, bring Us to the 5rt>ry-
sheet and we will confess.
We'll, you are certainly convinced
that if you have not, you never can.
Your prospect is no brighter now than
three years ago; and if your press is
not sclf-suStaining now, it never will be.
But to test the strength of your press,
and that you may be able to sec your
selves as others soc you, Withdraw the
public printing all over the State and
cOntinc it to one paper. Let the judi
cial and legal advertisements in the
parishes rest, as in the better days of
the GOVcrnmcnt-clrh person inter
cstcd have choice of the paper, or, if
into the paper of the best circulation.
Now, this is certainly Il fair and hon
orablc proposition; and We make it in
no unkind spirit, but witt, an honest
purpose of tightening the burden of the
people.
Those who have had the public print
ing arc ttU and independent, upon the
thousands drawn from the Treasury,
without a return Of Il cents cOn-idcrn-
ton to the State or people. IH,y can
who have been denied even Il taste of
this printing do not desire it, and never
have, because they are 4 part Of tho
people, and feel the burden from the
shameful waste. They do not ask for
it, but, in the nanc Of common Justice,
tlcy ask and beg that the foolish en-
pcnditurc be stopped.
The people, white and black, demand
that this, with Il thousand other "N-
traVaganccS, cease. Taxation is truly
and, rs Il people, we never
can prosper until We are relieved from
tho burden. We are now almost at the
point where Repatriation is our only
Forty millions is too much
If it was Il good investment, coming
back in the shape Of dividends, it might
do; but when the people know and
feel that it has grown out of Il wild
waste to support political power, they
will rise up, without distinction of race
or color, and repudiatc the debt, the
mon, and the measures.
