BELLEVUE, La,
Saturday, February 10, 1872,

~ The proprietor has arrived
and taken charge personally of
this paper in all its departments.
He has been well satisfied with
the able manner in which it has
been conducted during the year
past. Although the old parish of
Bossier has been much injured in
the forming of Webster, and the
balance of its people kept in per
petual apprehension of further di-
visions, yet the Banner subscrip-
tion list and advertising patron,
age has not diminished. This
shonld be praise enough to ON
agents. ...
Our ambition remains the same.
viz, 10 make the Banner an eX
ccllent parish paper, to keep il
eileen and make it readable.

TIE PRESIDENTS GAVE.

TIE PRESIDENTS GAME
In the senate debate upon the
AMNESTY bill last Tuesday, Sen
ator Thurman made the fol-
lowing very exceedingly sharp
point:
Now / find great difficulty
in understanding this admins
tration. The president in his
annual message recommends
an amnesty, and here is the
senator from Indiana, one OF
his chief supporters, denoun-
cling it. The president recon-
mends civil service reform, and
the senator from Wisconsin
mfr. Carpenter] pours out
upon it the walls of his wrat h
and ridicule. / can hardly I'M
derstand it, but if | we're a suS,
piciouS man, | would say that
this is the old trick of throwing
tub to the whale. / would
suspect that when the presi-
dent says, Let us have civil
service REFORM" there is a
mental reservation that it shall
be killed in congress, and that
when he says "Let us have
amnesty" there is a mental
reservation that the Radicals
in the senate shall kill amneS-
ty. | do not charge any such
hypocrisy upon the president
but it does look wonderfully
strange that every important
recommendation by the presi-
dent is ignored by his friends in
in this chamber.
Sensible people Of both par
ties have already come to the
same conclusion which the
Ohio senator here sets forth
or rather, very strongly init,
mates. .

The I" Administration :" at
Washington is in what a bad
boy would call a "devil of a
fix There are some Repuhli-
can Senators who are honest
and independent enough to
contend that every department
of the Government should I'M
dergo a strict investigation,
and fraud and corruption I'M
earthed. The friends Of the adj
ministration oppose this bitter
~. but in either attitude of the
case their predicament will be
awkward. If the investigation
is made no sane man doubts
but that unheard of rascalitv
will he developed, while if they
stifle it down it will be conclu-
sive evidence that all is not
well. The people know that
honest officials are never afraid
TO give an account of their
stewardship, and that only dis
honest ones fear for their acts
to lie scrutinized.
