JOINT RESOLUTION

Relative to the removal of duty from rice
@)y the Congress of the United States,
and lnstruCting our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto.
WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States OF America are contemplating, in
the readjusting of the national Tariff, to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro-
ductiye interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of government
in the protection of its material interests,
by the enforcement of healthy revenue
laws in the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Louisi
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
TOR the Congress of the United States of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition Of the
business interest and agricultural industry
of the South, Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request our Representatives
in Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this joint resolution to our Senators and
representatives In Congress-, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the iu-
terest of the people of the State of Louisi-
ana.
Adopted in General Assembly, in the city
of New Orleans, on the twelfth day of Feb
ruary, in the year Of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-two.

New Orleans and Northeastern railroad.

The Enterprise tAississippil Courier says:
Captain WI II Hardy, of Paulding, on
Wednesday evening last, addressed an
audience composed OF a number OF our most
substantial citizens at the Courthouse,
upon the subject Of the projected railroad
between Enterprise and New Orleans.
In his address, Captain Hardy urged the
great Importance Of the railroad as the con
Meeting link between New York and New
Orleans, and finally to the Pacific slope, and
its influence in developing the country
through which it viii pass.
The principle on which it is proposed TO
raise funds to build the road is the correct
one, namely, to draw upon the future de-
Veloement and resources of the country,
which the building of the road will wonder
fully increase, to pay for it,
The board of aldermen of Enterprise
nave. called an election for the thirteenth
proxlm0, TO decide whether she will lend
the road her credit to the extent of $lOO. 900.
enterprise is deeply interested in the build
ing OF the road, and we believe our citizens
fully appreciate the fact, and only REQUIRE
positive assurance that the road will surely
commence here, and 60 forward as bro
posed. This the company says il is ready 70
guarantee.
We shall have more to say upon this
highly important subject in future issues
and present it to the thoughtful consider
alton of our people.

Yesterdays Freight.


Whispering winds sang low at eve,
Darkenng shadows dusked the lea;
No sound was heard save the night birds call
From her covert in the tree
watched the glow in the crimson west
Fade out with the dying day,
As shadows crept DER the lonely hills
Where the purple twilight lay.
Another day. with its freight of care,
Has gone to the dreamy Past,
With its ardent hopes, its vain desires,
And its joys too bright to last
With its fond regrets, and it's holy griefs,
Stained with the hearts best tears,
While mem'res sad of the day that is passed,
Float down through the coming years.
There were pleasant smiles, there were trusting
looks,
That bcamed from azure eyes;
There we're low-brcathcd VOWS of changeless love
And there were fond replies,
There wcre friends who met with friends Ions
loved
In times and days Slang syno,"'
10 pledge once more the faith of years
a iiendship's holy shrine.
There were songs whose echoes shall linger long
In hearts that have learned them well
There were quiet haunts in dim old woods,
And homes where loved ones dwell.
There were flowers that bloomcd on lifc's highway
Where weary feet had passed,
And toilng hearts thro' the long, long day,
Prayed for the nights calm rest.
And tears were rained DER the coffin's lid
On the brow Of cherished one,
And pale lips murmured, white with grief,
Father, Thy will be done"
Oh! the counties scenes Of day tina. is passed
With JOY and sorrow rife,
Where milestones rise TO mark each spot
On the heart-ways of life.
Father above, They blessings rest
Upon Thy Children here;
Give good 90 all who love Thy name,
And sanctify each tear.
And broken fragments of the past,
That VIC shall meet no more,
Wilt Thou in mercy guard for US
Upon that better shore.

Hon j. G. Blaine, Speaker of the
House of Representatives, has addressed
a scathing letter to Senator Sumner
HS tells the backsliding orator how the
Democratic members of the present
Congress only last winter opposed all
legislation for the rights of colored men;
that they are now opposed to those rights
and expect to use Greeley as mere
tool to degrade the negro again; and
closes as follows:
"Charles Sumner cooperating with
Jefferson Davis is not the same Charles
Sumner they have hitherto idolized, any
more than Horace Greeley, cheered to
echo in Tammany Hall, is the same
Horace Greeley whom the Republicans
have hitherto trusted. The black men
of this country will never be ungrateful
for what you have done for them in the
past, nor in the bitterness of their hearts
will they ever forget that, heated and
blinded by personal hatred of one man,
you turned your venom on the millions
for whom in past years you have stood
as a shield and bulwark of defense"
