1t il we'll known that have taken no
part in the petty feud which has, for some
time. been going on between different fac
tons of the Republican party Of Louisiana.
As native Southern Unionist l have suf-
fered too much on account of my devotion
to what l deemed right, to do anything
knowingly that might be calculated to de-
stroy the Republican party-until, at least.
may become convinced it has become too
corrupt for redemption. And had hoped
that neither of the factions in this State,
and no member of either. had any snch
purpose, or would lend countenance or aid
in any such work. But it seems have
been mistaken; for heard it asserted the
other day that recently high official at the
CustomhOuse expressed willingness to a
prominent Democrat to see HIM made Gov
ernOr of Louisiana at the next election, if
the State could be carried simply for Gen
eral Grant.
l would not say anything in opposition to
the reelection of General Grant, and yet l
would certainly object to any alliances or
combinations which would throw the gov
eminent Of the State into the hands of the
Democracy for the simple success Of the Re-
publican Presidential ticket in a given
State. General Grant, or any other Repub-
lican candidate for the Presidency at the
next election, can succeed without Louisiana
or any other Southern State. But how
would the poor freedmen and the few origi-
nal loyal white men in the South succeed"
if the government of their States were
thrown into the hands of the present Demo
cratic party!
object to this, and will not be sold out
in any such manner without entering a pro-
test loud and long. l say, gentlemen,
':tOte fair" and let US all stand upon princi-
pie, or 60 down together. have never gone
back on the flag of my country, and 1
clsim the right to speak and be heard.
Charles Sumner has no better loyal record
than your humble servant. And there are
a few more of the same sort scattered all
over this fair Southern land-native South
erners, who we're Union men when it CO st
something to be SO. And in their behalf, as
well as my own, and in behalf of the newly
enfranchised colored man, do / protest
against being sold out in State governments
to carry the State for any Presidential can
didate. w. JASPER BLACKBURN.

TESTIMONY OF JUDGE DIBBIE.
A Note of Explanation.

New ORLEANS, February 3. 1872.
Hon G. ". Scetield, Chairman Con gressonal Com
mittee:
SIR-Since l gave my testimony before
the committee to-day, my attention has been
called to an expression which / desire to
modify and correct. l believe that / was
asked whether 1 knew of any instance of
bribery in the Legislature. l stated that l
knew of none. | was then asked, l believe,
whether l had heard of any instance.
stated that had heard talk of such facts.
l was asked to specify, and l made a state
ment in regard to remark l had heard
Governor WarmotI make. l think said
that had heard him say that every mem
Der of the House, except Mr.. Moncure, was
interested in the levee bill
l have cOnveIsed with gentlemen who
were present when the Governor made the
remark. and from what they say am salts
fed that misquoted him. They assure me
that his remark was that if rumors and
street talk were to be taken as evidence,
all except Mr.. Moncure we're interested
in the bill, etc.
AS knew nothing of the sort myself. and
as l do not desire to do injustice to any
one, l make this correction, and request
you to enter my statement in your proceed
ings.
l have the honor to be your Obedient
servant, HENRY c. DIBBLE.

Its pleasant to know jqet where to 90,
for then the necessity of CROPPING around in
doubt and uncertainty is avoided. To that
conclusion have come the numerous gen
tlemen who visit the Orleans House day at
ter day and week after week. at the corner
of Common and st. Charles streets. The
host of this elegant establishment is Cap
tain Gus Richards, who has wide celeb
rity for knowing how to entertain his
friends and deal out to them the most re-
freshing hospitalities Captain Gus is
peculiar man, and very fortunate, since he
knows as well how to keep hotel as to run
a steamboat, such as he did command last
summer when he conveyed passengers to

Another Avenue to Carrollton.

We are gratified to notice the rapidity
with which the contractor, Mr.. Benjamin
S. Harrison, is pushing the Carondelet Street
and Carrollton City railroad toward COM
pletion. Nearly one mile of the track has
been finished, and a large force of labOrers
is energetically engaged on the road, the
completion of which is anxiously antici-
pated by a large number of people, espe-
cially those who are compelled to travel
between the city and Carro!lton.
Another avenue of travel toward the up
per suburban districts has long been imper-
atively demanded, and the constant annoy
ance and vexations to which the residents
beer subjected by reason of the insufficient
facilities afforded by the present monopoly
have tended to make the new road very
popular.
1t is now regarded as quite certain that
the Council will grant the right of way
down Coliseum street to the above NEIL
toned company, thereby insuring- what is
very greatly needed-anOther thorough
route from Canal street to the upper limits
of Carrollton.
In passing, we may remark that Carroll
ton needs nothing so much as increased and
rapid railroad communication with New
Orleans. Without this her enterprise in
other directions will avail her but little.
She may illuminate her streets, furnish an
abundance of pure water to her inhabit-
ants, and tax her people lightly: but her
real estate must decline in value unless she
furnish avenues by which the surplus pop
ulation of New Orleans can quickly and
comfortably be transported within her
limits. The road in question will therefore
not only prove great benefit to New Or
leans, but blessing to Carrollton.

Somebody Must HIVE Lied,

The following card from the Times Of yes
terday morning bears the above CON
struction
CARD.
Having been closely identified with the
movement of merchants Of the city for the
publication of newspaper in their inter
est, and for the advocacy of political re-
form, and which has resulted in the pur-
chase of the Pcayune for such purposes, it
might be inferred that | had become at
tacIrd in some capacity to that paper. Not
so. There was a radical misunderstanding
of promises. l was, indeed, offered the
very handsome and lucrative position Of
counting room messenger but not regard
ing that as exactly the condition in which
could best serve the great cause Of reform.
l declined.
This manner of announcing my "where-
abouts' may not be strictly good TASTE or
of general public interest, but is certainly
the most expedient Tor my personal conve
nience, and of some interest to my personal
friends. w. b. RIPLEY.

After the storm in teapot IN New Or
leans comes the congressional investigating
cnmmittee. Our special dispatch will con-
yey a clear and forcible idea of the situa-
tion. as far as it can be made clear. The
fnllowers of Governor Warmoth feel them
selves securely intrenched in their position,
and LAUGH all the efforts being made by the
Cartar;tes TO scorn. Although the business
neonle do not take much interest in the fight
rs it stands, yet there is SO much OF the
prosperity and future of Louisiana wound
up in the quarrel that its details viii be
found interesting. The committee Will take
there and if necessary will proceed to rake
tb.t which no one seems to have hit on
vftwnamely, the cause Of the quarrel.

clided over the floor to the measure of har-

glowing hours with flying feet. The sew

to make guests happy, and they performed
their labors with becoming ease. We
noticed some splendid dresses, sufficiently
elegant to appear before royalty, and the
galIants were unremittlng in paying court
to the owners of the dresses.

The Self-Interpreting Family Bible and
Biblical Library Combined.

This is one of the handsomest and most
complete family Bibles we have yet seen.
Published by Worthington, Dustin & Co.,
Philadelphia.
This Bible contains all that family needs
in order to understand it and profit by it.
1t is a thick quartO, solidly and elegantly
bound.
Here are found within the covers of a
single book. besides the books of the Old
and New Testament, in excellent type, a
history of the English translation of the
Bible. Also, condensed history of each
one of the books of the Old and New Tesla
ments: Bible Dictionary, every page of
which is fully illustrated Also, large
number Of tables and indexes, making al
most every part OF the Bible easy of access.
Twelve large and beautiful engravings,
family record, photograph album, etc. The
idea of the book is to make every reader of
of the Bible his own commentator.
1t is sometimes felt to be great task,
both in time and expense. to have all the
text books that is needed in the study Of
the Bible. The difficulty is done away with
in this single volume, for here is nearly all
that is needed, and in such compact form
that no time need be lost in overhauling a
library of authorities. We need not add
that its value and beauty are such that it
will be highly priced in every household.
1t is sold only by subscription. Mr.. +.
Wood is the agent for this city, and we
hope no one will fail to examine it when an
opportunity is presented.

The San Antonio Express says:

We suppose the recent severe sleety
weather must have cost Western Texas
many hundreds OF thousands of dollars in
the item of stock. which have been frozen
and starved to death on our prairies. If
our stock raisers would provide shelter
from the bleak northers and a small
amount of forage. this might be avoided.
Another prospective remedy is the one so
extensively adopted in the Northwestern
States, viz: planting large groves of forest
trees on the prairies. These break the
force Of the norther, and so afford the cat
tie the necessary shelter.

An incident occurred on San Francisco
horse railroad, recently. An elderly and
very portly lady passenger signaled for the
car to stop at a certain street, but of course
the rear platform went a little behind the
dry crossing The old lady growled a great
deal, aud the conductor stepped off the car
and offered his hands to guide her to the
crossing, when, forgetting her exceeding
weight, she sank bodily into his outstretched
arms, and. as consequence, the conductor
sat quietly down in the mud, I'd the pas
senger 1ell over his head. He swore and she
stormed, and the other passengers laughed,
but being behind time, the conductor was
obliged to go on his way, leaving the old
lady trying to wipe the mud off her clothes
with seven-inch square handkerchief.

A legal gentleman of great experience

Justice of the peace courts in this parish be
consolidated, making bench of three or

for the better, and perhaps consolidating
them would be beneficial. How would
total abolition answer?
