Foreign Indebtedness.

We extract from the Mercantile Aoe,,c,,
annual, published by Dun, Barlow 81 Co,
New York, an article on the above subiect
evidently prepared with great care by 4
well posted party, According to the writer
our foreign Indebtedness is only about
much less than the usual estimate.
The question as to the amount of our for
eign Indebtedness, and the annual burden
Of the interest charge, is one which often
excites attention, and is made the basis Of
many arguments in regard to our fsca-
policy. In the last report of Hon. D. A
Wells, special commissioner of the reve
nue. 1862, our foreign debt was thus est
mated:

Strength Of the Navy.

The condition of our navy becomes a
subject of considerable interest in view
of possible foreighn complications. 1t
is said there are but forty-one ships
available, with but five hundred and
sixty-five guns. Seven iron clads are
being fitted out for service. The two
first-class ships of war, the Minnesota
and Franklin, are preparing or repair
ing at9the Brooklyn navy-yard. The
Hartford, Richmond, Susquehanna and
Tennessee:are also repairing at the same
yard, and the Powhattan at Philadel-
phia. These are second rate ships. OF
the third class, there are two, with
thirty guns, one commissionod and to
sail soon. There are but two of the
fourth rate, the Kearsarge and Tusca-
raro, ready for service. Seven iron
clads are available. There are Others
in a forward state of preparation, and
numerous small vessels that would be
serviceable in case of war. The glory
of the American navy, however, has
been rather in the stout hearts that
manned them than in superiority of
ships or weight ofmetal. Still, itwould
be pleasant assurance to know that
in all respects we were at least on an
equal footing with the enemy.-CT,e
Commercial.

individual aspirations or pledges may
have had to do in its inception and
prosecution. 1t is nota party alliance,
binding the Democrats in the least to
support a Garter Republican in the
next canvass for Governor orany 9TH
er Office. But it is an alliance of hon.
est men of our party with Repubii-
cans, for purposes of Reform, involving,
possibly the suspension of Warmoth
(Which ought to have been done long
|since) and the repeal of odious laws,
under pledge not to re-enact them, or
laws at all similar. Tint is the length,
breadth, hight and depth OF the alliance
between the Carter people and the
Democrats. AS sucl, VIC approve it
and support ii.

The Natural Result.

Springfield, Ohio, has just had a sem
sation. A former State official, and a
man who has occupied high positions,
not only in the commonwealth, but in
the nation, has been on aprolonged spree
for some days in her classic precints.
On Friday he visited Bunn's banking
house and demanded $50. 1t was re-
fused him, whereupon he abused the
teller like a pickpocket and had to be
elected. He visited q saloon and asked
for drink of whisky. The bartender
told him that he had none, whereupon
he grew so violent that he was put out
by force. Drunken, friendless, and an
outcast-such is the fate of one who
has aspired to be President of the Uni
ted States. He is now perfect wreck
and even his friends have come to the
conclusion that the only service he can
render is to die. Whisky has swamp
ed him, as it has many another.

An Unenviabie Distinction.

But for the members of the General
Assembly representing Democratic
constituencies, Gov. Warmoth would,
ere now, have been impeached by the
House and suspended from Office by
virtue of the provisions of the Refor-
mers have been very much broken in
to, If not entirely upset by the absence
of certain Senators during the first days
of the session. These absentees We're:
r.. w. Futch, representing the Nine
tenth Senatorial District-parishes of
Onion and and Jackson; w. L.. Tomp-
son, Eleventh Senatorial District
parishes of livingston, st. Tammany,
Washington and ST. Helena; s. NJ.
Thomas, Twentieth Senatorial Distir-
parishes of Bosier, BienviiIe and CIai-
borne. MeSsrs. Thompson andThomas
are now here and are acting with the Car
ter men, but Mr.. Futch is still absent
on account of sickness, as is believed.
In the Senate, there is also Mr.. Thorn
as G. Anderson, representing the Tenth
Senatorial District, parishes of Came
ron, Caicasieu, Lafayette and st. Lam
dry. His constituency is largely DEM
ocratic, and yet he lends his aid to
Gov, Warmoth In defiance of an al
most unanimous public sentiment.
Were he to act with the sixteen sena-
tors who adhere to Col. Carter, the prob
ability is that there would be quo
rum in the Carter senate, and the SEN
atein Mechanics Institute would be par.
allied. Why Mr.. Anderson continues
to sit in the latter body we do not know
but his conduct is the subject of severe
commenta among our citizens.
The Democratic members of the
House of Representatives who continue
to sit with the Warm othites are the
following; Mr.. J j. Barrow, parish O,
West Feliciana; Mr.. Alex. C. Bick.
ham, parish of Washington; Mr.. d. A
Cochrane, parish of Lafayette; Mr.. T.
q. Davidson, parish of Livingston
Mr.. P. Fontelieu. parish of Vermil
lion; Mr.. III. L. Pond, parish of East
Feliciana.
These gentlemen have certainly
earned an unenviable distinction in de
sorting at this critical moment, theil
associates who have so boldly thrown
down the gauntlet to Gov. Warmoth
and are now SO firmly standing by
their colors and battling for the right.
of the people.
Their constituencies will reckon
with them at the proper time. w,
suppose they think themselves beyond
any present censure, but they shouIe
know that their conduct has not es
capped notice.-N O. Bee.

We were very much interested in a
card of a Mississippi mother who adj
vertises her son, ''a minor, for run
ming away with q negro woman, and
calls upon sheriffs to arrest and inn
prison him, until we come to the
minors descriptive list, and found he
weighs 100 pounds avourdupois! The
endeavor to recover such a boy, is the
most notable instance of misplaced af-
lection we have ever noticed.

The Louisiana Congressional Com
mission of five, consisting of Soho

can, and Speer and Archer, Democrats,
was to have left Washington last Sun
day for New Orleans, with instructions
to investigate the state of affairs exist
ing and which has for some time ex-
listed in Louisiana. We are anxious to
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS thoroughly
but will wager hat the report will
amount practically to nothing. Cause:
it is Republican unpleasantness.

The Cincinnati Commercial asks :
."What constitutes State ~ It is en-
tirely owing to what State is referred
to. In Louisiana Warmoth and the
Metropolitans constitute the State; in
Ohio, it is Lieutenant Governor Meul-
Ter; in Democratic Kentucky the State
is made up of the people, with Gov
ernor, legislature and Judiciary to car
ry the will of the people into effect.

The Union Record warts to know If.
when we say, Down with Warmoth !
we mean, cup with Carter" The ed
itor of the Record says if we do, he
"repudiates." We have not permit
ted the elevation or even existence of
Col. Carter to enter into our reasoning
in deciding what course to take rela-
tive to the legislative embrogio. Up
to date, we are an ,oansitigoted Demo-
crat, if you please. Now, what has
our contemporary to say about "Down
with Warmoth ?''

We publicly apologize to the parish
|ot st. Tammany for believing that
Ton Green Davidson was the represen-
tative from that parish; and convey to
the people Of Livingston our sincerest
sorrow that he is their representative
in the General Assembly. We should
feel the same sympathy for any honest,
high-toned constituency on earth.

The chairman of the Judiciary Conn
mittee of the House of Representatives
is the profound jurist and statesman
Tom Green Davidson from Livings-
ton. That other great legal Iuminary,
Capt. A. w. Faulkner, of Caldwell, is
also on the Committee. He, doubtless,
understands the Jurisprudence of Lou
isiana better than any man in the
State. His opinion in insurance mat
tiers and Ku-Klux outrages is proven
bially orthodox.
