Positively something ought to be done
with the correspondents. II is rare that
they have been wilder than they have been
in this campaign in Virginia. We have
just laid down an exchange on our side con-
tanning description of political tourna-
ment in which as usual tie speaker with
whom the writer sympathized surpassed
himself 1t is characteristic of these wri-
tiers that the orator is SO very eloquent that
in despair at not being able to find any one
to compare him with, they contrast him
with himself. A model of such writing ap.
peared in a Lynchburg paper not many d lays
since, wherein it was represented that while
Mr.. Jones speech at Thompson's x Roads
was the finest effort Of bis life, still his speech
at Smiths Shop surpassed that. He sur
passed himself SO completely that it leaves
the reader in doubt if this orator were to
speak at Baggs Shop next week, whether he
would leave anything even of himself much
less his opponent. In another paper not
far from the same city there appears the old
stereotyped notice about its being painful
to witness bis sufferings under the terrible
castigation," that he ''squirmed" and
"stammered like school boy" and all the
rest of the phrases. 1t is a great pity this
sort of descriptive" writing can't be amend
ed or discarded altogether It doesn't pay
indeed it doesn't. Such stuff as .his Meth
er changes vote to the RICH. side nor
strengthens the feeble knees. It doesn't
strengthen our speakers-and we have the
best this canvass that we have had for years
but rather weakens them What must any
man who isn't consummate egotist with
a weak head feel at finding himself compared
to Demosthenes and Cicero and Patrick
Henry and Burke. P.h Let us have
done with this while thera is yet time. It
is too rank to be born with.

1t is generally known that the late
Lieutenant Governor, O. J. Dunn, left his
family in rather neeessitous circum-
stances, and that the iberality of personal
friends had finally to be supplemented by
the appointment Of his widow as keeper
of the city archives, in order to place them
above want. This was, of course, no more
than the universal respect entertained for
the deceased gentleman and irreproaoha-
bic public officer called for; but it was
feared that the change in the city admin
istration would result in the undoing Of
this just act,
It is a pleasure to set at rest the minds
of the many friends Of Governor Dunn'S
family, especially those who have inter-
ceded in their behalf We learn that
Mayor Witt has personally assured
Madame Dunn of his intention to retain
her in the place she now occupies. This
generous sympathy with the unfortunate
will be remembered to his credit, and pos
sibIe future advantage.

negroes would be put down, because if the
government they are concerned in now is
considered a federal fixture, as a
matter of course, they would not
be allowed to set up any other
government like unto it, and thus this
people" would come by a portion Of their
rights again. We infer that the partners
IN the Times and Ptcay2ose would fight for
what was left from the fact that they
almost came to blows even in our con
sentative presence about the Office that
Mr.. Lewis now holds in the city govern
ment.
But really we ale descending to the
politics of the ward clubs, where hickory
sticks and six-sbooting pistols are the
fundamental system of the State, when it
is graycly put forth in the organ # large
class Of people il the State that the only
bar to anarchy and disorder is the federal
authority that the same people seem to-
hold in SO much aversion. This is gravely
to inform us that if it we're not for the
blessings of the national soldjery we
should be splitting each others brains out
IN the pursuit of Office, Perhaps the peo-
pie Of New Orleans may consider this sort
Of nonsense complimentary to their capa-
city, but they may rest assured the balance
Of intelligent humanity viii consider it a
confession of madness warranting very

RATHER TOO GREEDY.

There will be a through rail from St
Louis to Galveston in Februa ry next, anC
the St. Louis press is banking upon the
cotton to be derived from this route. We
have recently assigned st. Louis her share
of the advantages Of this great route. L
is to supply Western provisions, whisky
and some dry goods to the planters. She
will receive her pay from the proceeds Of
cotton, but this cotton will be sent tc
Liverpool direct, and can not bear the
charges or delay Of a jaunt to St. Louis
for an interview with her enterprising mer-
chants. The St. Louis Tines does not &C
knowledge this inevitable law of COM
merce, but contends that cotton will be
marketed in St. Louis" This, we think,
has been proved improbable. One of its
grounds Of claim should however, not be
overlooked by New Orleans, The Times
says Of the Arkansas river:
This low water stage occurs annually,
and at the very period that cotton is ready
for shipment, and will necessarily draw into
our market thousands of bales which have
hitherto found sale in New Orleans. There
are now over 10000 bales Of cotton in the
Louisiana districts to be penetrated by
these lines awaiting shipment.
We must not forget that while this cot
ton would prefer to pursue the water
route by way of New Orleans, it would go
around by St. Louis rather than stay at
the stations and landings. New Orleans
can easily retain this trade, but at the
the price of furnishing proper facilities.
III arguing the merits of ST. Louis as
cotton market, the Times makes an adj
mission which establishes the course of
trade for which We contend. It says:
''The receipts Of cotton at ST. Louis show
falling off Of several thousand bales"
The receipts of 1871 were Al, SIP bales.
Those of 1872 have thus far been %, 400
bales. 1t adds that much Of the cotton
that passed through St. Louis last season
was on through shipment" while the
actual sales show that the amount mar
keted in St. Louis in 1872 was much
larger than in 1871. AS this statement
does not state what quantity of cotton vas
marketed in St. Louis either year, We can
not estimate correctly the bulk of her fac
forage. But grant that it represents COM
missions on %, 400 bales, it is scarcely
worth building railroad to Galveston for.
The Times complains that the bulk Of
the cotton received this season averages
good ordinary to low middling. The
quality is not equal to that Of last season,
neither is it so well handled, especially
from Northern Texas, much being gin cut,
leafy and dirty, caused in many cases by
huTying to market to obtain the opening
higher prices,
They are sharp fellows, these planters.
Possibly they may have preferred to put
their ''gin cut, leafy and dirty" cotton
upon young gentlemen impatient to figure
as cotton dealers, rather than bring it to
the severer tests and superior experience
Of our brokers and factors. Granting free
" that ST. Louis will take the advantages
which have been heretofore allotted her,
but denying that she can divert cotton
from its natural and direct course to
market, we must admonish our enterpris-
ing sister shat it had better not be too
greedy.

TIE ITALIAN IMMIGRANTS.

There are two ways Of representing a
people. One is to take the worst speci-
mems and the other the best specimens as
respective types Of the national character.
We certainly have much experience in the
United States of this very summary man
ner Of describing the people Of whole
section. At the North the South is repre-
scented as desperate, with slouched hat
and revolver. AT the South the North is
pictured as burglar Of the sack and
cord. And SO it is in regard to Italy.
One view Of the italian is derived from
IRA Diavolo" and ''DeyiIshoof," verified
by the seizure Of plethoric Englishmen in
the mid-mountains, where they are held
to ransom By banditti OF murdered by
them for q protested draft OF deficient
remittance.
The other is the joyous Italian peasant
Of the Piedmont or Campagna-sober, re-
igious, economical and peaceful. Fully
as much afraid-these last-of the ban
ditti, as our people on the frontiers are Of
the Indians. From the days Of Young or
Sternes to those of Byron and all modern
tourists, how often have these amiable
traits been repeated? The immortal cynic
has even contrasted Italy with merry Eng
land:
Laden with grapes, red wa CONS stop the way,
@Tn England it would be dust. dung on a dray
Who does not remember Decker's true
hearted and lively little Italian immi-
grant-1Ir John Baptist, to whom Mr..
Plorrey taught the English language i'll its
nursery simplicity, shouting to him as if,
because he could net speak English, he
must be deaf?
Our own experience of Italians in Amer
lea, is that like other people they vary in
individual character but that as a nation
they are sober, industrious and patriotic
as Others, and that among them are the
usual proportion of highly Intelligent and
estimable people.
We can not understand that these Ltal-
ians who arrived in New York, and have
been subjected to such exposure at this
dreadful season, were banditti, lazaroni,
or that each was provided with 2ambo-
riae or attached to hand organ ana mon
key BY pledge. lien q mortgage. Il IS to

Considering the extent Of the raid made
on the State treasury by the friends of the
fusion candidates in the matter of print
ing blanks for the election, we submit that
it is out Of order for the Pjcay1me to ask
the President and Congress to be relieved
from. ''these their rogues. When the
peoples organ sets out to hold the Re
publican party Of the North responsible
for the evils that exist in Louisiana, it had
better be particular in its distribution of
such names as 'lobby swindlers," ''eor-
poration spectators, and SO forth, for
fear its missiles may hurt its own particu-
lar friends. The men who have grown
latest off the plucking Of the State are not
in the Republican party, and those who
hope to grow fat hereafter are reaching
after the spoils out Of the fusion house.
