New Orleans, September Is, 1872.
To the Citizens of New Orleans;
WHEREAS Compelled by the exaetions of the
Democratic Pansh Committee and forced by their
hasty example to appeal to all voters of New Or
cans who are free from the exigencies of par

fore the august tribunal of public opinion.
| The records of the conference committees do not
stain our hands with an unlawful greed for Office.
| We were the last at the doors of conference for
Cancellation as we were eminent in spiltfor unity
| And had the overtures and concessions, barely
short of humiliation, been accepted in fraternity
| and patriotism this community would have
| capped the vexations incident to a family disrup.

"Stick to the Old Shin, >,


We have heard recently Of numbers of
persons from our own and other Counties
leaving the State and swelling the tide of
migration westward We must believe
that it is a false idea entertained by many
that their condition can be bettered by re-
moval out Of the State. Ignorant people
suppose that the West is one vast El Do
RADIO, with green fields and luxuriant pas
lures, abounding in all the comforts Of life,
and FLOWING in milk and honey" This
is an entirely mistaken notion A For
man who has to depend upon his own la
Dor and bodily exertions for support for
himself and family can succeed as well in
South Carolina as anywhere. He will be
obliged to work wherever he goes, and he
will be Sadly deceived if he thinks that,
by removing somewhere else, he will find
escape from manual labor Capitalists
may find richer fields for speculation than
this State affords, and undoubtedly can
make more profitable investments else
where, but there arc so few of this class
left among us, that our words can scarcely
beaddressed to other than the laboring
class of people, the bone and sinew of the
country
There are some things that can be said
in favor of emigration, such as relief from
an oppressive government and burdensome
taxation, but these are only temporary
evils, which will pass away in u few years,
and our State will be as prosperous as she
ever was.
Trouble and vemtiens lie in the path of
the cmigrant He Will have to encounter
unknown dangers and perils. He goes
from amongst kindred and friends to the
land of strangers This picture is not
'overdrawn, nor too highly colored. 1t is
only too true. We ask our fellow-coun-
trymen to study it, and when there springs
up within them a desire to desert old Car
olina, remember what little they can ex-
pect 10 gain in so doing They have re-
maincd with the mother State in her pros
perity, and shared her glory Let them
not leave her in her helplessness and hui
initiation, but stick to the old ship, and if
she goes dovn, go down with her.-Fair-

The Tax Bill.

Somebody proposes the following new
amendments to the tax bill:
For kissing pretty. girl, one dollar
For kissing a homely one, two dollars
the extra amount being added probably
for the mans folly.
For ladies kissing one another two dol
lars. The lax is placed at this rate in
order to break up the custom altogether,
it being regarded ty our NJ. c.'sas piece
of inexcusablc absurdity.
For every Irritation, ten cents.
. Every young man who has more more than
one girl is taxed five dollars.
For courting in thekltchen, twenty y-iivo
cents.
Courting in the parlor, one dollar.
Counting in romantic place, five dol

young men into matrimony, FIVE dollars.
For wearing hoops larger than eight
feet in circumference, eight cents fer each
hoop.
Old bachelors over thirty are taxed ten
dollars, and banished to Utah.
Each pretty lady is to be taxed from

An Embarrassing situation.

An exchange informs us that the old
philopena trick has been revived in Ala
bama, where ":.the young lady takes "a
double almond in her teeth and the. young
man bites it off," That sort of thing
used to be popular in Doylestown, Pa.
but it is hardly ever tried any more, since
tho painful accident which occurred at a
philUpcena- party last winter. The lady
who held the almond; between her teeth
was somewhat advanced in years and not
a little dilapidated. The almond was, un-
commonly tough, and the man who nib

long and incurable illness, died i'll his

Shocking Scene in q Menagcric.


+. A man Of the name of Venturelli, from
Reggin, Modena, was going his habitual
round in one of the menageries in Rome,
and giving the public all the particulars
concerning the ferocious animals belonging
to the menagerie, when, on arriving at
the cage of the lions, the unfortunate idea
came into his head to pass his arm through
the bars and caress one Of the lions: The
animal seized the forefnger Of his right
hand with his teeth; iniorder to free his
right hand, Venturelli passed his left arm
through the bars, the other lions sprang
upon him, and in one instant, before assis-
tance could be procured, muthated him
horribly with their claws and teeth. A
scene of indescribable confusion took place
A cry of the animals were loose was soon
promulgated, ladies, were carried out faint
ing others shrieking wildly. and over
come by their. fearss lesped over benches
and balustrades with marvellous agility
The Municipal Guards and the police had
been endeavoring for some. four or five
minutes, with their drawn sabres to put
an end to the dreadful scene, when the
lion tanner, Signor Bidel. entered the cage,
and with astgnishhg!l fodrage marched
straight up tS~he savage animal, onc of
whom had stretched.his paw outside the

"The fame of Lee, indeed, may havo
been exaggerated by some of his partf-

conceive what sort of friend this can be
who thus comes forward to depreciate

resources were utterly exhausted; but,
Notwithstanding this result, we have no

consequences ofstfe late Raid.

L.
Consequences ofs1fe late Raid.
AS one of thesefects of thelate raid in
to our District, we We have heard Of an. in
stance no less true than amusing, of a
citizen actually piowing with a saddle on
his horse, and the fence thrown down i'll
several places-ready at any mopaent 70
cut and run While this may be funny to
the raiders, and even laughaLle to us, it is
nevertheless premonition of death to
the country. Nor is itsurprising that cit
liens should stand thus ready to decamp,
when indiscriminatey arrests have been
without warrants andon the most
fimsy and unreliable testimony-on the
mere affidavit of a negro who has been
abs t. from the County since 1869, and
not here at the time the alleged violence
was committed; warrants changed BY De-
putest serve tbeir$ purposes, ffonEs one
name to another and unsuspectfngE per-
sons, conscious of their own innocence,
seized and summarily thrown into prison.
Does Chief Marshal Wallace sanction SUCH
conduct III his Deputies Surely not. Is
there no redress-iss there no help fora
people thus prosecuted and oppressed?
O temporal O mores!
1t is confidently believed that not less
than five hundred citizens have fled the
County, and possibly the State. Our ag-
ricultural interests are desperately suffer
ing, and if the present procedure in arrest
ing does not cease at once, We are ruined
people. Just think of it-fve hundred
plows, at this season of the year, stopped
and rusting in the mold Who are to make
bread for the women and children ?-how
are they to live if Ike mcn, their natural
protectors, are all driven away? And
how, too, are the negroes to subsist with
out the aid of the white man, dependent,
as they are, upon the. landowner for soil
to work, implements, supplies, indeed eve
rything with which to carry on farm ?
Without the fruits of Tie earth we must
all perish and it follows as matter ol
course, that rs the white man suffers so
must the negro What possible advan-
tage,, then, can accrue TO our oppressors 10y
this oppression =? Do they seek utter an
nihilation-our utter destruction, full, final
and complete? 1t really seems so.
Whoever may be responsible for vlo-
lcnce, let the guilty ones be caught and
punished as their crimes may require
but must the innocent atone for the gull
ty-must whole communities be suspected
and made tosuffer for the niisdccds OF a
few? Such theory and such practice is
absurd in an enlightened age, aud suited
only for the darkest ages Of the world

crushed to earth will certainly rise again
anyhow, whether we try to keep her down
or not, we may be patdoned,: for saying
that, as consequence of the violent ef-
forts of the yonng man, he found himself
standing up in that room, holding in his
mouth nut in which were fixed double
set of porcelain teeth, belonging to the
aforesaid maiden. II was embarrassing
in certain sense for all parties; the young
man thought it would be soothing to the
feelings of the company if he went home
