TILE AGE OF MAN.-Professor.
Faraday adops Flourin's physio.
logical theory that the age ofman
is 100 years. The duration of life
he believes to be measured from.
the time of growth. When once
the bone and epIphyses are united
the body grows no more, and it il
at twenty years tins, union ia
effected in man. The natural ter.
mination Of life is five removes
from the several points. Man
being twenty years in growing,
lives five times twenty wears.
that is to say, one hundred years:
the camel is eight years IN grow.
ing, lives five times eight years,
that is to say, forty years; the
horse is five years in. growing.
and leyes twenty-five years, and
so with other animals The man
who does not die Of sickness lives
anywhere from eighty to, one
hundred years. Providence. has
given man a century to live, but
he does not attain it because ha
inherits disease, eats unwholsoms
food, gives license to his passions.
and permits vexation to disturb
his equipoise he does not die, he
kills himself. The professor
divides life into two equal halves,
growth and decline, and these,
halves into infancy, youth, virtili-
ty and age. Infancy extends to.
the twentieth year, youth to the
fifth, because it is during this time
that the tissues become firm;
virility, from fifty to seventy-fve,
during which the organism re-
mains complete, and at seventy
five old age commences.

goes for Grant. Three months
ago we would have been sor
ry to have heard this. But
during three months we have
had so much misery in en-
deavoring to discover from
reading the Colonel's news
paper articles, what his senti-
ments were, that now it is
positive relief to understand
him. Can you trust this
Caesar, Colonel2 Can this
Caesar trust you? He can
but regard you as a clean and
hungry Cassius". He can but
see the fire of patriotism per
petually burning in your eyes
and even dread assassination
metaphorically speaking.
Col. Williamson can not
rid himself of his antipathy
to Greeley because of Gree
ley's great success in leading
the country to the abolition
of slavery. Would that our
freed people could appreciate
his reason for opposing Gree
ley. Verify would our chan
ces for success in Louisiana
be much greater!

People, says the New York

polite is vested in the Republican
party, and what names have
been more honored in that party
than those of Greeley, Summer,
Banks, Trumbull, Farnsworth,
Spragus and others now associat-
ed with them in thier new depart
ure! Yet they now learn for the
first time from the regular Repub-
lican prophets what false gods
they have for years been called
upon to fall down and worship.
They are told that Greeley, has
been all along a disunion traitor,
and is now half-crazed visionary;
that Gratz Brown is a booty
drunkard; and that Fenton is al
most convict; Schurz a william;
Banks a time-server; Fitzpatrick a
debauched rowdy; Trumbull a
corrupt public officer and a falsi-
fer; Summer false and malicious

4 LETTER THAT EXPLAIN

A LETTER THAT EXPLAINS
ITSELF.-This is special to the
Chicargo Tribune:
Washington, September H.
The following is copy of letter
received to-day by Mr.. Reed, as
sociate editor of the Washington
Capital, from a gentleman of New
York. Comment is unnecessary:
81 have just been reading about
the brutal assault made on you by
one of the numerous Dent family.
j. 81. Whitney, one of the victims
of the Dents, resides, in this
county. l knew him well. Last
May he told me about the Dents
getting money out of him, substan-
TALLY as set forth in the Sun. l
saw Mr.. Whitney a few days ago.
He told me that he had six letters
from Louis Dent, written while
negotiations were going on con-
corning his appointment as COM
missioner to Peru, etc. That he
had been offered $4,000 for the let
tiers, for the purpose of having
them destroyed. That he had re-
fused to deliver them up for that
amount. He also stated that he
had sixty letters from Ferrand re-
lating to the same business, and
also concerning the sale of ten
monitors to Secor for S75O,OOO,
which Secor at once sold to Peru
for s2,000,000. 1 believe Mr..
Withye to be a truthful man, and
what he said was in the presence
of a man residing in this place.
The brokerage business of the
Dent family ought to be investiga.
ted, for there is no doubt but that
the President has full knowledge
of their business. If you wish
any further particulars about the
matter l will furnish them.

been noted for the great num-
Der of its aspirants for Office.
Let a comparison be institut-
ed between now and the time
just preceding the war and it
will be found that we have
now twice the candidates and
would be candidates that we
had then. Why this is so we
do not take to be a greater
desire to avoid labor, or a
greater passion for political
power; but that the simple
reason for it is that offices
have become much more val
liable in pecuniary point of
| view. We are a calculating
people, and but few would be
willing to give up q settled
home and competence, for
unsettled Office holding were
it not extremely profitable.
Every one will concede that
this extreme thirst for office
does not benefit the health OF
the body polite, but that on
the contrary it is hurtful. AS
physicians we will prescribe
a remedy for this thirst that
| is almost sure to cure. The
drink must be made less pal
atable by reducing salaries
and fees. The same remedy
will 60 far towards alternating
another ailment viz, empty
treasury.
The salaries ofall the office.
of the State are by far too
high We could get as gooC
officers, and we think bette
than we do get after reducin:
all salaries by at least ;
third. The Governors salar7
is $4,000 3 year, which is fully
equivalent to the labor Q
twenty able bodied men il
the cotton field. 1t is far to
big and should be reduced t
$1,000 or less. The Distric
Judges get $1,000 a yeal
when $1,000 would be bounti
full provision for them. TIL
salaries of all salaried officer:
without exception, are highe
than necessary. Of the fee
officers we can particulariz
the sheriff as receiving in tw
particulars more than is net
essary. For serving citation
and warrants and in mileag
he gets just twice as much a
he did several years ago.
To abate the nuisance
excessive Office seeking, r
+ duce salaries and fees.

Local self Government.

exercise all their respective
powers in accordance with
the Constitution of the United
States as it now reads. In
the exercise of those powers
we believe it to be the best
policy that they should make
it incumbent on the local
governments of towns, cities,
counties, parishes and wards
to execute the general law;
and further that they should al
low those subdivisions to gov
ern themselves in more partic-
ulars than they now do. If a
murder be committed in Bos-
sier, the murderer is tried by
y
a jury selected from the
parish; the District Judge
presides, the District attorney
prosecutes and the sheriff ex-
ecutes. This is a sample of
local self government in
which the local authorities
carry out the general law
The regulations of our Police
Juries in regard to fences
roads and bridges is an exam
pie of local self government
where the laws are not only
executed but made by the To-
cal government.
There have been times when
1t was dangerous to trust the
local governments with great
powers or with the execution
Of the laws. Such a time
may have called forth the
ku-kluX law. But now that
the whole country is in pro,
found peace, and when peace
is the policy of both the great
parties, it is surely proper
to 60 back to the old method
OF government. Not only sc
but in many particulars, the
old method should be extend
ed. Registration of voters is
fastened on us by our consti
tuition. 1t could be more
easily and cheaply carried
out by one of our parish Off
GERS as the Recorder for in
stance.
The machinery of the schoo
law should be put under con
troll of the parishes and wards
The parish Treasurer could
keep the school fund as be
fore the war, and the collector
could pay over the school ta1
to him directly. The wards
could be organized into schoo
districts, under charge of tn,
, Police Juror, Squire ant
constable as a school boart
who could better apply tn
money than a parish board
In many more instance
than these it would be prope
to put the burden OF govern
ment on the parishes.
The term ''local self govern
ment" when used by Greeley
: we take to mean more thai
simply the government of tn
several states. 1t goes fan
: ther and would seem to in
dictate that even in the carry
ing on of the Federal govern
ment his policy would be t
coufer on communities create
powers.
