THE LATEST WIND EGG.

The peripatetic philosopher, who is now
traversing the Western States coaxing the
people to vote for him as candidate for the
Presidency, has very little to say of the great
reforms demanded in the Cincinnati plat.
form, and great deal to say of another
subject not particularly urged in that scroll.
He refers to it generally; but he has no
words to waste on decentralization, revenue
reform, or the amendment of the civil ser.
vice; while he spends his breath upon the
comparatively new topics of reconciliation
and peace. He evidently believes, with his
personal mouth. piece, that "the question
of administrative reform has ceased to be an
ISSUE" and that the principal point now is
the restoration of some state of amicable
feeling, which is assumed not to exist.
Let US ask again, as we have asked before
without getting an answer, what this talk of
reconciliation means. Who are to be re-.
conciled, to what are they to be reconciled,
and by what means or process? Politically,
the work of reeonstructing the Union, saved
by the war, is complete. Every State is
duly represented in Congress every citizen,
with an inconsiderable exception, which
will soon be removed no matter what party
triumphs, is eligible to Office and may vote ;

What Came Of Firing Turkey Shot at

much alarmed, but, being = man Of norVe, ad-

ground around had assumed the color Of bri1n-
stone, and wss fast crumbling away, dropping
into the miniature crater in the appearance Of
crisped hair and burned horn, which, in turn,
dissolved into smoke and stencil. The whole
neighborhood VAS much excited, and hundreds
had visited the scene, now sunk into the bowels

of smoke, strongly impregnated with the smell
Of birthstone. When our informant left, the

Liberal State Platform and Resolu-

We, the Liberal Party OF the State OF
Louisiana in Convention assembled, do
hereby proclaim and adopt the following as
our platform of principles. essential 10 the
redemption of our beloved State from the
evils OF Iuisgovernment, and tending 70 the
restoration of just, wise and patriotic rule,
the vindication Of the rights of the sovereign
people
]. We recognize the platform Of the Gin
cinnati Convention of Liberal Republicans,
n ratified and endorsed by the National
Democrats Convention, ne eninently judi
cious and representing the sympathies and
needs of our State and country, and We re
cognize in the National standard bearers OF
the great Peoples Party, Horace Greeley
and BENZ. Graft Brown, men of sterling
worth, capable of restoring the Government
20 the simplicity and purity of its earlier
years, when Washington, Adams and JEFF
ferson were guardians of our liberties. We
therefore pledge them our undivided and
earnest support.
. We recognize the political and civi
rights of all men, and pledge ourselves u
maintain them, and We invite all men, with
out regard to past political differences, u
unite with us in our honest effort TO accom-
plish such salutary reforms "a are now o.
may be demanded by the people
3. Wedemand that our State government
shsll be administered justly and economi
cally; and 10 that end We pledge ourselve
10 the abolition of useless Offices, the reduc
tion of exorbitant salaries of officials, tn
early redemption of the legal obligations o
the State and the reduction of taxation 4
speedily as possible.
g. We demand that laws shall be enacte
for the punishment of bribery, and that IN
powers of the Executive be diminished, bein
Inconsistent with republican institutions an
subversive ofthe wishes of the people.
5. Recognizing public education as a
imperative necessity and guardian of on
liberties, We pledge ourselves 10 maintain
generous and beneicent free school system
which shall be extended 20 every portion {
the State, and embrace in its privileges I'll
children of all classes, and We shall deman

TIoNs.-Secretary Boutwell,, in
a recent speech at Bangor,
Maine, said that "the defalca-
tions during Lincoln's admin
istration were s2,7O0, 900; du-
ring Johnson's $1,700,0O0 du-
ring Grants S64,0OO." All
three of the administrations
here given were Republican;
not one of them was Democrat
lie; even what is called Andrew
Johnson's administration was
in reality the administration Of
a Republican congress, Of
" hich MIR. Boutwell, was q
leading member. The secre-
tary places the defalcations
under Grant at the ipsignifi-
cant figure OF $4,000; bat If
he means that this covers all
the losses by embezzlement,
defaleation, robbery and gen.
eral official corruption, he is
guilty of a gross misrepresenta-
ton. President Grams civil
service commissioners intima.
ted not long since, in an Off.
cial report, that the losses
through official dishonesty
| amounted to about one-fourtt
of the revenue OF the govern.
ment-which is nearly $780,,
r 100000. If Mr.. Boutwell,
i, wants to demonstrate the su
perior frugality of the presen
administration, let him dispos'
of that statement.

D. Cady Stanton, Supervisor

D. Cady Stanton, Supervisor
in 1870, did not do the fair
thing either in the registry or
in the establishment of polling !
places in this parish. This is
notorious. A suspicion is be-
ing entertained by the Grant
men that a fair registry and
election is not to be held this
year. Knowing the past, per-
haps there is some foundation
for the idea. But we hope to
allay the suspicion somewhat
by showing that it would not
be to the interest Of Warmoth
and the Liberals to perpetrate
the wrongs that Stanton did.
The Grant men show strength
at present in the Point. These
people there could easily visit
Bellevue for registration and
voting. They have also shown
some strength in Ward
3. The Liberals up there are
so numerous as to make it to
their interest to have a place
for registry and polling close
: by. The blacks on the river
we hope to influence through
? colored Liberals from Shreve-
4 port, and of course they must
!, have polling places convenient
< if we expect to get any profit
/, there. Again, we know that
the Grant men are organizing
O well, and that the leaders of
o clubs or companies Of the
Grand Army of the Republic
could and would carry their
men forty miles to register and
: vote, if necessary. Our men
u act more as individuals, and
n therefore are lacking in that
.e esprit du corps which the Grant
4 men have, because of theil
lie company organizations.
v 1t is certainly, therefore, fol
the interest of the Liberals tt
v have as many places for regis

eighty became enarmored of q

in ten days after their wedding

The papers are marshallng
public opinion for the annexa-
ton Of the northern tier of the
Mexican States Let US help
a little by mastering up a cor
poral's guard at least.
The depredations made by
Indians and Mexicans from
across the borders upon Amer
lean citizens have given rise to
many claims against Mexico.
These claims are estimated up
as high as forty millions of
dollars, audit is impossible for
Mexico to pay them other than
by a cession of territory. This
cession was favored by the late
president. Benito JuareZ, al
ways provided the United
States would pay him a large
bonus besides. As we are rich,
of course we would pay hand
somely for property we are
now beginning to covet. Any
government that Mexico has
can be easily bribed into a sale
of the territory, and with the
money it could perhaps keep
its people quiet till occupation
could be effected. We say
perhaps, for we incline to think
that a little war would arise
which would as a consequence
almost certainly necessitatt
the annexation of the Who'll,
country; a consummation b.
