OF THE
&unisiamiam.

In the endeavor to establish another
Republican journal in New Orleans,
the proprietors of the LoU1snAN1AN,
propose to fill a necessity which has
been long, and sometimes painfully
felt to exist. In the transition state
of our people, in their struggliDge efforts
to attain that position in the Body
Polite, which we conceive to be their
due, it is regarded that much infor-
nation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, in
consequence Of the lack Of O medium,
through which esede6ciencies might
be supplied. We shall strive to make
the LoU1s1AN1AN o desiderutum in these
respects.
POLICY.
As on motto indicates, the Lou1-
slAI1As shall be Republican at all
times and undera all circumstances" We
shall advocate the security and enjoy
.ment of broad civil liberty, the abso-
lutte equality of all men before the law,
and an impartial distribution of hon
OF and patronage to all who merit
them.
DESTROYS of allaying animosities, Of
obliterating the memory Of the bitter
paste promoting harmony and union
among all classes and between all in
terests, we shall advocate the removal
of all political disabilities foster kind
ness and ~forbearance, where malignity
ana resentment reigned, and seek for
fairness and justice where wrong and
oppression prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, weshal conserve
our best interests, elevate our noble
Estate, to an enviable position among
= her sister States, by the development
of her iimitable resources, and secure
the full benefits of the mighty changes
lin the history and condition of the
people and the Country.
Believing that there can be no true
liberty without the supremacy of law,
We shall urge q strict aud undiscrimi-
mating administration of justice.
TAXATION.
We shall support the doctrine Of an
equitable division of taxation among
all classes, a faithful collection of the
revenues, economy in the expendi-
lures, conformably with the exigen-
cies Of the State or Country aud the
discharge of every legitimate obliga-
ton.
EDUCATION.
We shall sustain the carrying out Of
tho provisions of the act establishing
our common school system, and urge
as q paramount duty the education of
our youth, as vitality connected with
their own enlightenment, and the secu
ity and stability of q Republican
Government 1
FINAL.
By q generous, manly, independent,
and judicious conduct, We shall strive
to rescue our paper, from On ephem-
oral, and temporary existence, and ! !!
it upon q basis, that if we !,
,annot "commanq," we ehall at al
rents "duserve" success, :

ASxAroI1s, january DIR. Genth, in his
testimony to-day, said that Professor Toury,
who had testified for the prosecution, had
stated an impossibility when he said he got
tartar emetic when treating sulphidc of anti
mony prccipitate with potash. If he had
obtained what he said he did it would have
proved that no tartar emetic was there.
The evidence is incomprehensibly techni-
cal, but positive in its contradictions Of the
results obtained by the prosecution.
DR.. John j. Reese, occupying the chair OF
medical Jurisprudence and toxicology in the
University of Pennsylvania, testified that
Aiken's testimony does not, to his wit
ncsscs's) mind, establish the presence of anti
mony in ketchum's stomach or i'll the tunl-
bier. Some important tests had been omit
ted, and some tests which had been applied
had failed. In the tests most relied upon
there were sources CT fallacy which rendered
them uncertain and inconcusive. Lie said
that Toury's tests were also insufficient to
establish the presence Of antimony.

T.
unexceptional manners now came into play
with fine effect. He rarely fililed in getting
handsome check to add to his list; and this
done he disappeared.
Another of Mr.. Bulmer's prosperous de-
vices consisted IN initiating genuine circulars:
This he did in the case of the celebrated
Jamaica Committee and others. Among the
swndling projects he Is known or supposed
to have originated was circular, headed by
the name Of John Stuart Mill, appealing Tor
funds in the name Of the Land-Tenure Re
form Association another for "the sufferers
bv the Todmorden Floods" and third for
the losers ably the political crictions in
Wales" Funds for the families Of persons
killed by colliery explosions Mr. Bulmer
raised in abundance, and cash for polltlca!
purposes, which the doncrs would have good
reason to hold their tongues about, largely
swclled this industrious operators store.
The skill with which his plans were con-
ceived, and the address with which they were
executed, are described as little short OF
amazing. AS the fruit of his laborious III
dustrv, Bumcr accumulated large sum
Of money, and it is supposed he intended to
bring it and himself to America, where, IN
the fulIness Of time, he might have become
the "boss" of some city of the plain. But it
was f,ted otherwise There happens to be
an extremely artful person-almost as arttul
as Bulmcr himsclf-named Captain Torrens,
who is the Chief Constable of Stafford. 1t
Glanced that on several occasions Captain
Torrcns had somehow crossed the web OF
Bulmer's complicated designs, and albeit he
got but tlecting and partial glimpses of them,
was struck with admiration mt the skill dis
rssyed. Such an artist as this, thought the
Captain, ought surely not to remain III OBJ
sc,lrity. Whatever his own wishes OH the
subject, society should not be left i'll lgno-
rance of his unique accomplishments. Yet
to overcome the natural coyness OF being
to whom fame would so evidently he dis
tasteful, was task of singular difficulty. 1t
is not strange then that, although aided
by one of the best detectives in England,
Captain Torrens has taken some time in eli
feeling his purpose. TO trace the windings
and doublings of a fox like Bulmer requires
a craft scarcely inferior to his own, and re-
DeatcdIy were his pursuers thrown OH the
scent. Whether he knew they were in chase
or not does not appear; but all that he ever
did was done with direct reference to such
IN event, and this has caused bafflings ana
failures without number. With the spirit OF
genuine huntsmcn. however, the officers
stuck to their work, and were rewarded at
last in striking their quarry. Bulmer is now
imprisoned, pending the investigation OF
long array of charges against him, anu VIII
probably wind up his versatile career among
the blooming islands of Polyncsia.-Neu
York Times.

and think deserves publication:
LARRY III October last Gabriel Ross, residing

Of iii, tlthcr, who had gone for a physician,
