nels, larger than any church. How is it
about going out of these churches?
There are but two ways it con be done,
by taking letter to some church hold
ing similar views, or be turned out
never allowed to depart in peace and
freely as he entered. A man cannot
change his views and leave them with
their benediction, nor yet remain in
peace. Hence it is so many deny their
honest sentiments, and remain where they
do not belong in spirit. 1t is because
they wish to remain where they are, and
have not courage sufficient to step out
with the ban of heresy npon them. A
man cannot change his opinions without
being suspected of heresy, and in the
same ratio, confidence in his Christian
integrity destroyed.
We need to test people by character,
not theory, and make it as easy for one
to 90 from the church as to enter it.
Men change their political sentiments
and are respected for it. Why not theo-
logical opinions. and the ones from whom
they 90 retain their confidence in their
Christian integrity? When we can leave
thus, we shall have honesty Of opinion
among Christians, and thus better men.
We need to know that opinions don't
make Christians from the heart not
from the head flows our religion. When
one can no longer walk with his church,
let them take him by the hand as cor
daily as they welcomed him in, and bid
him God speed. Let them feel they are
going away from the church with their
blessing.
Then will people be sincere in their
religion, and tolerant Of each others
opinions, and respect each others rights
to honestly differ, and that they can
change without destroying their Chris
tian character.
OF course they are not to be fellow
shipped as members of their own de
nomination, but as noue the less Chris
tan, in the broad fellowship of the
spirit. Let each be free to go to their
own place. l.. ". 4,

MARRIAGE AND LoNGEyrTY. Stats

medical works, exhibiting the beneficial
effect Of marriage upon longevity.
From % to 80 year, Of age the mortality
per 1000 in France amounts to SO in

Of married women, is per 1000, girls the
same, and widows 1863. In Holland
from SO in married men it rises to III
in bachelors and 1879 in widowerS The
result of all calculations made is that
from % to so years of age the mortality
per 1000 is 4 in married men, 10.4 in

LoUIsIAHA.-Fort the last few days
everything has remained quiet at New
Orleans, and the bitter legislative strug-
gle seems to have really ended, with a
complete victory for Gov. Warmoth at
all points. The Carterite members Of
the Senate are back in their seats, and
the House members of that faction have
also appeared and asked for permission
to return, which has been granted, CN-
ccpt in the cases of Garter and several Of
his chief abettors. The house has pass
ed resolution ratifying the action Of
The extra session in eXpelling Garter and
electug Brewster speaker in his place,
and the courts have strengthened War
moths position by declaring that the
assemblagc over which Carter has pre-
tended to preside had no legal authority.
Coy. Warmoth is certainly very far
from being a model official, but in the
complications Of the last few weeks he
has represented the side of law and or
der, and his triumph is therefore matter
for cOngratuation.

The District Judgesllip.

We copy from the Intelligencer of
the 18th, the following article in refer
cnce to Judge Robert Ray. or the
Judge personally we have a high opin-
ion, and of his official integrity he has
furnished many instances. OF course
the article is not fully approved by the
TEIEcRApH; but we simply furnish
the medium through which the clai ms
urged in the Judges behalf may be
more generally made known:
We believe it is generally understood
that Hon. Robt. Ray. the present i'll
cumbcnt, is Il candidate for election as
Judge of the 18th Judicial District,
composed of the parishes of Ouachita,
Richland and Morehouse. The Judge
having now been on the bench of the
District Court for over two years, he
has been tried by the people and the
bar and not found wanting; prior to
his appointment to his present position,
he had been Parish Judge Of our par
ish and had discharged the duties Of
that position so satisfactorily, that his
| transfer to higher position by the Gov
ernor was viewed as a tribute to merit.
Prior to the creation Of the new Dis
trict, n large amount Of business had
accumulated, owing to the impossible
ty Of one IMAM attending to the number
of parishes in the 18th District, as then
organized; but Judge Ray went to work
with q will to clear the dockets-both
civil and criminal-and succeeded SO
well, that now there is never any delay
on the part of the Court in disposing Of
business.
Judge Ray seems to be peculiarly fit
ted for the prompt dispatch of business,
in addition to which we know, that his
decisions have, nearly always stood the
test when brought for revision before
the Supreme Court. In presiding he
exhibits firmness with dignity combin-
! ed, and in sentencing criminals, tenn
pers justice with mercy, never forget
| ting that laws are made to be enforced
and that their majesty must be vinili-
Gated.
While Judge Ray has at all times
been known as a thorough-going1 eepub-
lican, it has never even been whisper
ed that he has been influenced by po-
litical prejudices in any manner-all
being treated as equal before the laws.
The election of Judges should, when
possible, not be of a partisan character;
but while the different parties Will, no
doubt, make nominations for this office,
we feel assured that Judge Ray will be
voted for by people, irrespective of par
ty, and have their support.

The first poi MT in this summary which
will attract the readers attention is the
fact that The names of tho Southern
States all appear very near the head of
the list. Texas is the seventeenth on
the list, and I'Ioritl;, the fifteenth Ar
kansas stands The eleventh, and all the
others prcccde it. New York, with a
population, according to the last census,
of l.; 49,, 7j9, has debt of $:5S, OOO, 900, or
almost 80 per capita; while Louisiana,
with population of only 726, 9l5, and
the 18th State in the Union as regards
the number of inhabitants, has a debt
of over $4,000, 200, or sl1 per capita,
and stands second on the list. The
same thing is true Of other Southern
States when compared with their
Northern sisters. North Carolina, third
on the list, has a population of ,07l 1861,
and 4 debt of $29, 1896, Gl5, being $2S per
capita in Massachusetts, the fourth
State, the same figures are, respective
ly, 1,l57,33 800, 5GO,6Gl and SD. Be
tween Pennsylvania and Alabama the
discrepancy is more marked. The
former State has, population, 1921 1851;
debt, SIS, G56,S76 per capita, SO; the
latter, 996,992, So, ISL, 1867 and $50. In
Missouri and Georgia, the per capita
amounts arc &l2 and S15; in South Car
olllll ana Maryland, So ana SIG; IN
Arkansas and Ohio, SOB and 50; and
finally, in Connecticut and Florida,
$40 and S2S. Proceeding in the same
manner, but coupling those States which
are nearest alike i'll population, we OBJ
tain the following results: In Louisiana
and Maryland the per capita amounts
arc, as given above, S41 and SIG, or i'll
comparison with Maine, Sti and $Sif.
Comparing North Carolina and Wis
consiu,w have SIS and e respectively:
Alabama and Wisconsin again, so and
50; Georgia and Michigan, where the
variation is only 80 inhabitants, SD
and So; South Saroliua and Maine, SD
and Sill; Arkansas and Connecticut, S23
and SO: Florida and Rhode Island, SIS
and $I2.

To Our Claiborne Friends.

4 Editor of the TELEGRAPH re-
arms to his friends in Claiborne his
profound thanks for the compliment
conveyed TO him in their resolution de-
claring him their choice for Congress,
and for the flattering terms in which
they are pleased to mention his services
to the party. Mr.. McCranic deeply re-
grets the division existing in Claiborne,
and especially the mistaken policy of
his Liberal friends in not permitting The
Democrats to hold their meeting called
for Il specific purpose, so as to transact
their business free from all interruption
whatever. Why should not ncighbors
differ, and be permitted to differ with
out encroachment upon each others
immunities? The Liberals, we believe,
were not uncivilly treated by the DEM
ocrats; why should not the same for
bearance and tolcration be shown the
Democrats? ManifestIy, we must
conduct this canvass will, even puncti-
lious regard for cacl, others feelings
and opinions; otherwise, we shall give
Il fiat denial to MI professions of concil-
iation, harmony, and State rc,lemp-
ton. Let us have peace, at least.

Organize for Victory.

If we expect to succeed in the present
campaign it is essential there should be
a thorough organization in every ward
in every neighborhood. There should
he thorough and systematic effort
everywhere to unite all tho voting pop-
ulation in one mass. 1t is only by
doing this that the Indifferent can be
made active and the energetic useful.
The Intelligent portion Of the voting
population is all right, and Is unit
for Greeley and Brown and the united
State ticket. But the way that voters
feel and think is not sufficient. Their
influence must be felt and extended,
and we see no cffectual way of doing
this other than by the thorough organ
ization of clubs in each ward or neigh
horhood, with competent officers and
active campaign committees, whose
duty shall be to canvass every portion
of the ward, visit each voter, whether |
OF the same political faith or not, and |
urge upon him every consideration !
which is just aud proper to vote with !
us. We earnestly appeal to the voters
everywhere to so Immediately to work ,
1T is essential and necessary. There .
should be no delay. Our prospects are
bright, and it is only necessary for us
to bring out the whole strength of our |
party, and use its influence, to insure |
success. If we neglect to do this, we !
can only blame ourselves if victory is !
wrung from us.

Three I.cn,lcn Jumps Overheard.

rI'ron thc n. =. Germ an Gazette, Aug. lG.l
Sioanai<cr, Sheridan, Gantt, three of
The particulars friends Of Mr.. Warmoth,
who have transacted business of vari-
Gus Kinds with him, seem to have
worked themselves into improper asso-
Citations. We find these three
gentlemen unexpectedly ON the Libcr-
nj ticket, and all three NOMINATED for
Congress without oven Il majority of
the Liberals being aware of the mas
tcrly trick by which ii was accomplish
cd
We ourselves, to be really candid, ,lo
not know how it was done. The i.ihcr-
ais have, in all three Districts, q great
number OF persons nuch-mUcl better
!itcI for Congress than these three, who
arc not fit to be recognized. Although
VIC think the Liberal ticket otherwise
Il good one, we do protest i'll the name
of Liberalism and Reform against these
three nominations, and reject them
most cnpi,aticallS. We viii say no
moro about these three gentlemen, but
this much i certain, that they arc not
representatives of the people Of Louisi-
ana. nor can they be. They represent
at the utmost absolutely nothing but
the interest of their superior and mas
the least to Stide the expression Of our
opinion. OF the election Of these So
called thrcC-bl;idCd Sllamrocks there
cannot be the least thought entertained
FOR it is impossible to believe that the
bona iidc citizens OF Louisiana, who
mean something by reform, could vote
for such men. These nominations have
been brought about by the well known
maSterly tricks which the adhercnts Of
Mr.. Warnoth know 50 we'll how to
play; but this time the people Will not
take an y for \ I. How can we ask
the Democrats to make I compromise
with Us if we press upon them such
names as these? Pshaw. The clique
of Mr.. WarmOth may be much displcas-
cd with this iraulncss, but then our
back has grown that way, and party
uictatiOn shall not change us this time.
If the party commits follies, let the par
ty be responsible for thcr; We shall not
participate in them.
@, what nice Liberalism is this, to
make congressman out of three most re-
pulsivC political pcrsonagcs i'll the State!
But i'll this ease Mr.. Warmoth and his
friends have oVcrrCachcd themselves,
rs they did also before the Liberal Con-
vCntiou. Ncssrs. Sloauakcr, Sheridan
and CAN'T uuSt go overheard, and that
too, very quick; if they Will not leap
overheard willingly, then the Liberal
party must throw thCm overheard. for
the Liberal vessel hat, already such Il
heavy load she cannot. without danger
OF sinking, carry with her these three
irHllrN Jumps.
