know Louisiana throughout and the disposl-
ton of its people, and I am confident there is
a spirit aroused that it will be impossible to
contend with. The Greeley movement is
strong and is increasing in strength every day,
while Grant is more certainly losing; and by
the time November comes there will be no
chance for the latter. The spirit of the South
is completely aroused, and the Liberal move
ment has taken strong hold upon the hearts
of the people. 1t is the result of honesty and
independence against nepotism, corruption
and military despotism, and it cannot tail to

"There you are mistaken. Pinchback is on
our side and let me tell you that he possesses
the coolest brains and the shrewdest faculties
of any public man in the State. l consider
him one of the ablest politicians have ever
met, and I know that the men of his own color
will flock to the standard he raises. War
moth and he are acting in thorough accord,
and their united influence it will be impossible
to overthrow. i'll know anything Of public
affairs I can say that Louisiana is certainly
lost to Grant, and all the other States, except
South Carolina, and probably Arkansas"

THE LUNAT1c AsYLUM.-The Lunatic Asy-
lum we are informed is again IN ertremis 1t
will be remembered that about three months
since, on account of the squandering of the
appropriation for its support by the "Ring," it
was brought to that point which necessitated
its immediate relief or the turning loose the
unfortunate inmates to the care of the public.
At the crisis one of our public spirited
firms proposed to supply subsistence until
some more permanent arrangement could be
made, and up to this time the burden of the
supply of groceries has been wholly borne by
them. Yesterday they were compelled to no.
tify Dr. Ensor that they could not longer car
ry the burden. DR.. Ensor applied to Gov.
Scott, Treasurer Parker and other authorities
to know if they could not aid in rescuing the
inmates from the imminent want to which
they would be exposed in day or two, but
was informed by them that they had no
money or other equivalent which would avail
and that he would have to look elsewhere for
help.
The institution now has within its walls
about four hundred inmates, three-fourths of
whom are bene6ciaries, Of which latter class
one-third are negroes. At the last session of
the Legislature S00,0OO-a liberal sum-was
appropriated for its support but not one dol
lar has been paid over to the Asylum for that
purpose, and this institution has been carried
on by the private credit Of a few benevolent
individuals, while the money which should
have been applied to that purpose has been
used by Scott, Parker, Moses, and others, for
Legislative expenses, i. e., bribery, electioneer-

A "RIGHTEoUs JUDGE" Probably no
country in the world can present more farcical
cases of judicial administration than is to be
found in the Trial Justice Courts Of this State.
Although the office of Trial Justice is one
that requires as much intelligence. discretion,
impartiality and integrity, for the proper per-
formance of its duties as any other office in
the State government, not one out OF every SIX
of the many now filling this important posi-
ton in this State, possesses one of the qualiti-
cations so necessary. Some of them can bare
ly write their own names, and large number
cannot read the laws they are appointed to
administer, and to have properly executed.
A case occurred in this county few days ago
which pointedly illustrates the ignorance and
prejudice of a large majority Of these astute
officials:
Acolored woman appeared before colored
Trial Justice and complained that a white
man had committed an assault and battery
upon her. in that he cursed and struck her.
A warrant was forthwith issued and the white
man arraigned before his sable majesty. 1t
was proved at the trial, by every witness, that
he did not strike her. But there was no
doubt that be did use cuss words.
Notwithstanding the testimony that no
"battery" had been committed, the white man
was convicted of assault and battery but the
cream of the joke lies in the fact that he was
fined $40 and costs for slander, in calling the
woman bad names. The white man called
for an appeal, which his sable majesty indig-
nantly refused, and threatened to imprison
him if the money was not Immediately paid.
There was, therefore, no alternative left but
to pay about SIG. On receipt of the money
the $40 fine was Immediately handed over to
the prosecutrix.
If this is not sharp practice to induce law
suits, we don't know what is. And this is one
out of hundreds of similar cases of injustice
to which the white people are subjected in
this section.-Union Times.
