Those Democrats and Radicals who
take consolation of each others trorl-
hles and yet do not feel happy, viii. we
think, now begin TO feel that the 1eav-
en- OF Liberalism is working. In view
of this fact, it might be we'll to add that
in their Ward primary elections for del
egates to the State Convention the Lib
erals carried Orer one-haf Of the entire
popular tOte of He city Of NeW Orleans,
the only stronghold of tHe " United State
ticket" In Louisiana, and the great po-
litical centre of the Radical party. IF
the Liberals can carry fifteen thousand
out of twenty-f0ur thousand in New Or
leans now, how many may be expected
when the party gets thoroughly organ
lied IL such a mRrderous defeat as
this awaits the Dem0cratic-Radieal
tOadies on their ndung-hill whatmay
they expect from fields where theirar-
my has been reduced to mutual admi-
ration committees, ranging In numbers
from two to a bakers dozen ? The
handwriting is on the wall, gentlemen !;
and sou may just as well prepare now
to do one of two things-saerifice ous-

THE WEATHER AND II CROPS.-It
has been predicted by some celebrated
savant, that the earth in its revolu-
tions is nearing the sun, and that in the
course of time there will be a collision
in which the earth will be consumed.
We are very much afraid it is so, if we
judge the future by our past experience
of the last week. Such heat we have
never yet experienced. We will not
complain, Is our farmers are well pleased
and consider the present hot sun as
their great deliverer from their enemy,
the caterpillar. Rumors Of that insect
are conflicting. From the most reliable
information we can receive, we are in
clined to believe the crop is safe. The
cotton is opening slowly, and picking
will not commence for a week OF ten
days. 0ur corn crop a not be sur
passed by anything since the war.
Manyplanters say they wilmake enough
to do them fortwoyearss Unfortunately
che climate or some other cause pre-
vents their keeping their corn more than
year, as the weeyils destroy it in their
barns. Extraordinarily large crops of
grain have been planted throughout the
whole parish. Providence has certainly
smiled upon us this year. = ~ e.

work done. by these women receive from
twelve to eighteen hundred dollars per
year. The salary Of women, however, who
occupy tho position Of post-masters, is not
reduced. The salaries of Miss Van Lieu,
of Richmond, Va, of Mrs. Por-
ter, at Louisville, Ky, and Of
Mrs. johnson, at .Leavenworth, Kan,
are each $4,000, which is fixed by law.
There are 81 900 post.ofilces in the United
States and It is thought that 900 of these,
II not more, are filed by women. In the
paten, office department there are one
hundred and three ladies, and in the pen.
sion Office twenty-four. The first woman
appointed to clerk-ship in the treasury
department was during the administra.
ton of James X. Polk. A Bal.
timorean applied for clerk-ship
but failed in the examination-bis wife
passed it and received the appointment.
The number now in the department in
various positions reaches probably nearly
one thousand. These women are all
paid less than men who do the same
work. Women are employed in the mint
at Philadelphia at the rate of six dollars
per week. Anna Dickinson worked there
at that salary before the war. In all the
positions in which women labor under the
government, they are found to DO rs ca
pable, careful and industrious as men,
Notwithstanding which facts they are
only paid from half to one third a.
much as the latter in all cases.
