The Funny Side Of Burglary.

Night before last two sisters, living
at go Sycamore, retired to the room
which they occupied jointly, and pre-
pared for bed. Before retiring one OF
them carefully counted out some mon
cy which she had in her pocket,
amounting to SIS, and put it away
cnrnfIII1, in ~ rnmH3 tho t.,." .I;"oouroc-
ing mcrrily meanwhile concerning
burglars and the probabilities of the
money being discovered there if one
should gain an entrance. They Their
went to bed, and after chatting Il
while in feminine fashion, to sleep.
Presently they were awakened by a
slight noise. After listening intently
for some moments and hearing nothing
more, their talk again fell upon bur
glars and other mysterious Visitants,
and one of them exclaimed, 81 see
q spirit now" What was the terror
of both TO hear follow the exclamation
the hOarSe laugh of Il man within the
very room. 1t seems that the rascal
had been Sccrcted under the bed, had
heard all their conversation, and had
witnessed with much secret satiSiaC-
ton, no dOubt,) the cOnccalment of the
money IN the mun. AS soon as the
ladies were ASLEEP he crept out, sccur-
ed the money, a set Of sable furs worth
about SO, and was in the act of leaving
when the ladies awOkc. lie succeeded
in keeping quiet until he heard that
unlucky exclamation, but the idea of
being mistaken for a spirit was too fun
ny for him, and he laughed outright.
He succeeded, however, in escaping with
his booty.

Another Pnlpnble Argument in Favor OF
Removing The Capitol from New Orleans.

The political conflict that has just ta-
ken place between the contendinG par
ties in the Legislature demonstrates
fully that the city of New Orleans is
not the proper place for the Capitol of
the State of Louisiana. That all this
troublc-a disgrace to the name and
fame of LouiSiana-haS been brought
about by corruption of the darkest and
most damninG nature there is no
doubt, and none are willing to deny.
That official positions in the State
Government are made the instruments
of individual aggrandizcment is plainly
to be seen in the history of the past
few days. That the rights of the pco-
pie, irrespective of party, are being
disregarded when personal ends arc to
be gained is openly shown. That
those who are guilty of such scandal
louS conduct are using the peoples
money to bear them through the or
deal there is not the slightest doubt.
1t is not plain that these evils are the
fruits of all the combined elements of
corruption SO common in populous
communities? Docs it not show con-
clusively that the people at large
cannot be freely and fully made known
through their Representatives in the
General Assembly? How can the pco-
pies representatives speak and act
for their constituents when they are
kept under the surveillance of paid
cmiSSarics of Il political faction. Can
they act freely and untramcled while
they are thus surrounded and intimi-
dated? These questions arc of invalu-
able import to the people at large be-
cause they bear directly upon their
rights and strike to the ground the
last vCstigc of our Republican form of
Government. These things must not
be allowed to exist longer; our State
Capitol must be removed to point
where it will be free from this foul air
of oppressive corruption, and where
our General Assembly can meet un-
trammClod 10y bullics and Il dangerous
array OfintluCnccs that threaten to in
cite calamitiCS of the dircSt nature.
Let the Republicans act up to the spir-
it of the resolution adopted IL fcws days
since in 4 mass meeting in this city,
and let the honest Democrats and Con-
scrvatiVCS in the House and Senate
unite with them and fight manfully
for the removal of our Capitol from
New Orleans, and there will be no
cause to fear defeat. The ultimate end
of the question must bring victory to
the people in this important reform
measure. I}UfOH Rouge TOzcffP- Comet

The Reason WhyI

A valued correspondent writes to say that
". G. Plnckney, the Santee orator, one OF
the candidates OF Hobson's Choice, is as
thoroughly Objectionable to the Conserva-
tives as the notorious Aaron Logan. Pinck-
ney, whatever he has been, is now o bold
preacher OF the doctrine that the colored
people OF South Carolina have been bam-
boozled long enough, and should now turn
to their old friends, the white South Carroll
mans, for counsel and aid. This repudia-
ton OF the crew Of political adventures
was sufficient, in the opinion of this paper,
to justify his selection. Nor can TIE NEWS
afford to swap horses while crossing the
stream.

Tho Time Draws Night

On Wednesday next the State election
| will be held. There are two sets OF candl-
dates in the Held-the Regular Radical State
ticket being led by Speaker FL Moses, Jr:,
and the Boiling Radical State ticket by Mr.
Reuben Tomlinson. For neither candidate
for Governor can the Conservatives safely
vote. Either choice may bring upon the
people a new iliad Of woes; it is best to wash
our hands OF the whole bad business. But
it is OF the first Importance that the Conser-
vatives go promptly to the polls. There are
members OF the Legislature and County
officers to be elected, and, here and there,
the white vote will turn the scale in favor OF
the most eligible local ticket. Not a vote
should anywhere be lost; every Conservative
y vote. should be used to the best advantage.
Let the polls be watched. Let the ballot
boxes be watched. Wherever the Conaer-
v7atiyes are defeated 1t must be by q
Tree vote and a fair count. From the
FourthI District should come the glad news
oDfffthe election to Congress OF Governor :.
F. Perry; but this cannot be accomplished
Without energetic work. The Constitutional
Amendments are also before The people.
They are supported by both Regulars and
Boilers. Let them receive the vote OF every
Conservative citizen OF the State.
A few days will tell what manner OF
government may be expected in .he coming
two years. This will malaiy depend upon
the character Of. the members OF the Legis-
lsture and OF the county officers. Let the
Conservative voters spare no pains
to elect whatever candidates give promise
OF improvement. Thirty staunch members
OF the House of Representatives can stave Of
many a public trouble, whoever may occupy
the %gubernatorial chair. Ia

The Liberal Defeat.

The stunning defeat OF the Liberals In
Pennsylvania and Ohio Is a blow from which
they cannot recover. An effort will be
made to explain away the Radical MAORI
ties, but the people are profoundly dlsap-
pointed, and it will be extremely difficult to
keep them at the sticking point. There is
more, and worse, behind. The result Of the
elections held on Tuesday confirms the idea,
already freely expressed, that the power Of
the administration, used unscrupulously, is
so great that 1t is impossible to defeat any

A Pinin Talk.

The article OF the Courier in reply to The
NEWS is no answer at all; unless reiteration
be argument and a Georgia newspaper,
flushed with victory, be. accepted as lnfalli-
Bile authority In the political affairs OF this
county. That the Courier may not have
any reason to complain, its article is re-
printed in ful. And N reading 1t the. public
should bear in mind That 1t is the best refu-
tation. the Courier al find OF the PROPOSE
lions ~enunciated 10 The NEWS OF Wednes-
day, which where: j. That o Conservative
vote as large as that which was polled for
the Reform candidates for the Legislature in
1870 would not elect a Conservative ticket,
even IL the Radical factions divided the
Radical vote equally between them. 2.
That without Time, Money and Organiza-
ton, which they do not possess and cannet
command, a Conservative vote equal to the
Reform vote OF 1870 cannot be obtained. 8.
That the defeat Of the straight Bowen and
Mackey tickets and the election OF Ho5son's
Choice, which is composed Of the best or
least Objectionable candidates on the two
Radical tickets Is a%substantial and practi-
cal reform, inasmuch as 1t gives the Con-
~seryatiyes Of this county worthier county
and legislative officers than they have had
in four years.
The Courier takes the ground that 1t Is o
fallacy to say that So Conservative ticket,
'::however composed and nominated, would
"be defeated" and it tries to bolster up this
bald assertion BY shO wing that in 1870 the
Conservatives would have had a MAORI.
ty Of 1873, tfas many Radicals had voted for
Bowen as for DeLarge. The first error OF the
Courier lies ia accepting the vote for Gov,
ernor as the test Of the Conservative
strength. For obvious reasons, it is in
correct to take O gubernatorial vote Us q
| standard by which to estimate a vote Tor
county officers. THE NEWS was discussing
the election OF members OF the Legislature
and county officers, and, to make the com
| parison exact, it took, as a basis, the aver.
age vote OF the ak candidates for the Legis,
lature, on each OF the three tickets, who re-
ceived the largest number OF votes, which
average shows that the Conservative vote
was 674l, which is less than one half OF the
Radical vote. which was ID, 500. But TIL
NEWS can afford to give up this advantage
its position is still %impregnable. Is there
