NV REMEDY PoR SNAKE BITE The Rich
mond correspondent Of the PetersburgL I.Ler
tells the following: "A gentleman, a physi-
clan, resident near Warm Springs, but now on
a visit to this city, tells remarkable snake
story. The doctor was recently sent for to see
lady OF his neighborhood who had been bit
ten on the ankle by ra:tlesnake. When he
reached the patient he found that her friend,
adopting an old remedy which had come down
10 this generation with the legendary lore Of
the neighborhood, had bound the wound al
ready much swollen and intiamed, with several
folds OF the inner lining (tiber) of the bark of
the sycamore tree Willing to await the re-
suit OF this experiment, and seeing, really, no
chance for the application OF better and
more orthodox remedy, our doctor allowed
the lady to keep the bandage on. and in few
hours she was relieved from the pain and the
poison, too, as she declared. Then it was re-
moved. The wound presented most favor
able appearance, and the cure was soon pro-
nounced complete. Now the most astonish-
ing part remains to be told. On unfolding the
bandage have referred to, the exact outlines,
the very photograph, yea, the perfect picture
of the snake, coiled ready for spring. was
found impressed upon it. So perfect was the
likeness that if one had seen the bark bandage
lying open On the rodeside, he would have
thought that a RATHER had coiled upon it for
one OF his dreadful springs. The doctor saw
this thing with his own eyes And the remedy
has been applied to similar cases in that sec
ton OF the country with as happy effects"

temper of the wolf can not always be hid
by the amb-feece stolen to disguise
it. The people will yet come to learn that
reform could have been had at the last
session of the Legislature, but for the OBJ
stacles interposed by the Democratic men,
bers and the CustomLouse clique. Hav-
ing defeated the most important measures
there, what shameless pretext is their as
sumption of the policy of reform now? Is
it possible, do they think, to make the
masses Of the people believe in their sin
cerity? If their cause was honest and sin
cere, would it involve the necessity of mis-
representing the principles and position of
their opponents, and their newspapers
TEEN with calumny and personal SANDER
Of the executive and the policy Of the Re-
publican party?
That which is honest and true carries
with it the elements Of its own success.
By parity Of reasoning alone, the Gus
tomhouse- Democratic coalition is weak
and yapid. The people are finding out the
true ISSUES involved in this struggle, and
the cause of the conspirators is becoming
every day more hopeless.

TIE POLITICAL BARGAIN.

It may be assumed now, from the tacit
admission of both the Times and Picnylne,
that the bargain and sale Of the Democratic
party to the Customhouse Republicans is
thorough and complete. 1t is a pitiful
contemplation, even to political opponents.
But year ago there was no prouder po-
litical organization on the continent than
the Democratic party Of Louisiana. What
is it now, or. to speak with greater pro-
priety, what are its leaders? The hewers
of wood and drawers Of water to Messrs.
Casey, Packard and Carter at the Custom
house-the ''fetch and carry lackeys of
the neutrality-suspicious.. These are harsh
words, but they are true ones The great
body of the Democrats should understand
parish central committees means simply
the transfer of their vote to General Grant.
In what other respect could the Custom
house Republicans feel an interest in them?
The State and municipal governments are
nothing to them, and they care for them
only to the extent that opposition to either
furthers their own political designs
Certainly they claim to be reformers.
But they are not the first who have stolen
the livery of heaven to serve the devil in
Does any sane man believe that the Gus
tomhouse party could care for the repeal
of any of the laws that have become OBJ
jectionable to the people, unless their hos
tility to these laws could be used to help
carry the electoral vote of the State for
their candidate for the Presidency The
primary object the underlying purpose at
the Customhouse is the electoral vote of
the State They are too weak to carry it
themselves, and their end can only be sub
served by uniting with the Democrats.
Hence, the compact to make fair division
of the State and municipal otfices-half
and half and share alike. The young
Democratic leaders are to be put in office
for the simply bowling down and worship
ing Baal. It is true that this gives them
some sort of an equivalent for their aban-
donment Of principle and sacrifice Of party
But what equivalent do the great masses of
people get those who have sustained and
upheld the Democratic party? None
They are led like sheep to the SHAMELESS,
and sold like chattels, But what Of that?
These rich young lawyers, the merchants
and bankers, who have sold them to the
Customhouse Republicans, look upon
them as so many horses and mules, to be
disposed of as they think proper.
According to the ''calico Ptcdyu1e, the
laboring people should feel themselves in
tinitely honored when such men associate
with them at primary ward meetings and
deign to clasp their dainty kid-gloved fin
gers in hands roughened by labor and hon
est toll. After awhile the same journal
will tell them that they ought to feel proud
that they have been incorporated in the
same articles of sale with these aristocratic
but purchased chattels of the Custom
house
The cry of reform will do much, but the

ON CARONDELET STREET.

The cotton family are once more without
news. Brokers demand greater let down
than factors are willing to grant, this di-
vision of sentiment creating a dullness
which is not the consequence either of
lack of supplies or need of material for
negotiation. The gentleman who hangs to
the assertion that cotton will yet be
twenty-five cents pound" has taken a back
seat, as, in the present dullness, there are
always some who must sell, and hence are
obliged to dispose of the staple at lower
figure than ON Wednesday. 1t is estimated
the sales Yesterday did not reach $500 bales,
and these at lower prices than is compatible
with the state of the market on Wednes-
day. The oracle is silent; where it is not,
and speaks. it deals in intimatlOns, and a
fog surrounds the immediate future, though
the factors are running on high hopes of
greater prices.
Foreign exchange is unrutfed in its cur
rent as it usually is in a dull cotton market.
Domestic is without change. Remit
tances are negotiated on New York at par.
State warrants have fallen. and it is said
can be had at seventy-six cents-delay in
signing the funding act supposed to be the
cause. Many holders of various calibre
refuse to sell less than eighty cents, and
will wait until the street comes to them,
even as MahOmet went to the mountain
when the mountain would not come to
Mahomet. No sales are reported of late.

THE NEW PARTY.

The Times, in one of its fits of candor,
admits that the Democratic Customhouse
coalition is composed Of
''Otfice- seekers, barroom and ward poll
ticians, and wire workers of old parties
This is certainly true; but correspond
ent OF the Bee gets indignant at the admis-
sion, and asserts that the Democratic part
Of the material has always been the salt Of
the earth. The Times, of course, will
maintain it's position, and comes back
with the defamation
That the Democratic party is infested by
persons of the class described. and that they
have proved great curse and obstacle to
the party, is an historic fact, which will
hardly be questioned.
Again the Times is right. There are
periods when its deep disgust at its new
affiliation will find vent Unfortunately,
however the zimx is practicing ( too
common characteristic of mankind. No
matter for the frightful mien and vicious
principles, we are prone ''to pity, then
endure, then embrace"

THE PARDONING POWER.

The Bee vainly endeavors to maintain
its position (perhaps taken without due
consideration) denying the pardoning
power of the executive. 1t would GER
tainly have been better for our contem-
porary to have grace 'ully yielded the
point. In the face of the convincing ar
gument Of the REPUBLICAN, published the
day before yesterday, it is certainly indie
fensible But instead Of this, the Bee en-
deavors to decoy the reader with the Incl
dental remarks and suppositions of a
judge upon point entirely foreign to the
one at issue. 1t even assumes that Justice
Storey had the honor to agree with the
Bee, when its quotation from his COM
mentaries ON the constitution shows, not
that the executive has no right to pardon
or mitigate the sentence Of an offender
against the law, but that the erecMire at
N,ority can not interpose Jet,ceen the Leqis-
latlre and the person or persons committing
q contempt against 1t. Justice Storey IS
discussing one question, and the Bee quite
q different question.
Equally unfortunate is its quotations
from the Attorney Generals. If their
opinions prove anything, they support the
position of the REPUBLICAN, The Bee
evidently forgets that we are the counsel
on that side.
But this is not the worst of it. We find
on examination of the decision in sixth
Wheaton's Reports, page 2O4. referred to
by our contemporary as authority con-
elusive and unanswerable, that the para
graphs quoted do not appear in the decision
of Justice johnson, who delivered the
opinion of the court in the case. The
Bee has made very grave mistake. Pos
sibly our contemporary meant some other
book or decision. The question at issue
in the decision in Wheaton was simply
whether the House of Representatives
can take cognizance of contempts COM
mitted against themselves under any cir
cumstances," or ''what is the extent of
the Furnishing power which the delibera-
tive assemblies of the Union may assume
and exercise Oh the principle of self pres
ervation."
The Justice goes on to say: american
legislative bodies have never possessed or
pretended to the omnipotence which con-
stitutes the leading feature of the legisla-
tive assembly Of Cheat Britain, and which
may have led occasionally to the exercise
of caprice under the specious appearance
of merited resentment"
In the concluding paragraph of the Bees
article it endeavors to distort the words of
Justice Johnson's decision into its own
way of thinking, and by the use of qu0ta-
ton marks tries to make it appear that it is
quotin7 lQtr But the words are not in the
decision.
1t would be advisable il future for the
Bee to be a little more particular. Such
mistakes, if persevered in, may possibly
discredit any legal assumption it may
make 1t has heretofore been pretty high
authority, but such interpretations may not
be ascribed by others as we ascribe them,
to t,NDloqrdphicdl errors.

If the article in the constitution of
Louisiana comforting the pardoning power
upon the Governor is identical in it's terms
with the article in the federal constitution
comforting the same power upon the Presi-
dent, is it pert to say that the two should
be construed in the same way? And if a
controversy arises as to the meaning Of
the former, what better authority can be
cited to settle the dispute than to quote
the judgment of the Supreme Court de-
termining the intention of the same Ian
guage in the latter? Parties committed
for contempt by the federal judiciary have
been pardoned by the President under the
same grant Of power that Governor War
moth called to his assistance when he re-
leased Mr.. Van Norden. If the Governor
was wrong the President was wrong, for
they both found the warrant for their act
in the same constitutional provision. It
seems to us that an editor who character
ICES such an argument as this as pert is
too deep to live long. Nothing but pat
ent office report can be solid and substan-
tial reading matter to such debater.
