WEEDS and FLOWERS.

We lately read in that great and
most worthy organ of the Ku Klux
Democracy of Louisiana, '"The
Times" an article on "Flowers" evil
IDENTIFY written by old Bigny, the
chief editor thereof; whose peculiar
style is easily identified; too prosaic
for poetry and too poetical for prose.
Now, old Bigny pretends to be a
poet, but writes poetry of the kind
Horace described which neither
Gods nor men can endure, and
which nobody but himself ever at
tempted to read, and how he mana
ged to survive the herculean task,
will always remain one of the great
est marvels of the age. Now, we
would suggest to the aforesaid poet,
the said old Bigny,-that he at once
write an article on "Weed," & he
need not turn up his blue nose at
our suggestion, which is eminently
timely and proper, because, though
he obviously knows nothing about
flowers; he has had abundant oppor-
tunity to stady weeds; having one
constantly before him;--a gigantic
weed of Yankee origin, an exotic in
our cline; but which fourishes lux
uriantly upon dunghill of treason
and disloyalty, and spreads its bale
full influence around, almost as fat
al in its effects as the tabled Upas,
it resembles in most re-
spects; flourishing by the destruc-
ton Of all around and tainting the
very atmosphere in which it spreads,
with poison, as fatal as it is subtitle,
and an effluvia. as noxious, as it is
dangerous.
Come old man give us an essay
upon weeds" and we will agree not
to believe the curious story current
here,--that a man condemned to
death for murder, on his way to the
gallows and with the same in full
sight, refused the pardon offered
him, by that wicked wag and grim
humorist, the Governor, on condi-
ton that he should read, without

OUT OF TOWN.

Packard breathed freer when he
learned that the Commute had gone
to Washington. Packard is a sweet
thing. He is obliged to write a
man in New York to prove himself
uninterested in the pavement swim
die, which bobbed up and then
bobbed down again three years ago.
Why he must send SO far to get
infol nation which could be got so
easily at home is not to be seen.
That unfortunate deputy who
loaned mattresses and blankets out
of a vessel under seizure, that the
Wilderness Senators might rest
easily, is still "out of town" This
is sorrowful. A man who could
remain out of town so long and
withhold by such means Packard's
vindication of himself, must be
dead to all human consideration of
pity and sympathy.

B@The New Orleans Times OF
yesterday says:
Having successfully and merrily
passed through the Carnival, and
entered on the Lenten season, it be-
hooves those who have solemn secu-
lar duties to perform to enter upon
them with zeal and alacrity, and
prosecute them to a satisfactory con-
ciusion. This injunction is espe-
cially applicable to our Governor
and Legislature, who have delayed
too long, to respond to the demand
of this people, for the repeal of acts
which deprive them of the rights of
representative republican govern
ment."
"The Lenten season." it is well
known, originated from the forty
days of peculiar significance and
sorrow in the history of Christ,
previous to his cruciixtion. Does
the Times mean to indicate to the
Legislature the propriety OF remem-
bering that this is their "Lenten
season." If not so, we would like
to know what other ineligible in
depreciation is to be placed on
its admOnition. Whether so or not
however, is this paper so destitute
of comparisons that it must drag
into its political mire, so beautiful
and so touching subject as the
"Lenten season p

E@DThe recent fight with the
Carter men before the Congress
sional committee is simply another
triumph for the Administration.
The luminosity of the Tags springs
like all the baser passions from un-
gratifed ambition to plumber and
steal from the public Golfer. 1t is
the war of the lobby and has spread
its deadly breaches SO wide that it
threatened without check to eat up
the whole State. The Governor
aided by the Lieutenant Governor
will fight this lobby until it dies
the death that dogs die-in a ditch.
The lobby shall not rule. The
peoples government, not the bro
kers' government, must stand.
Uniting upon the same platform all
colors, all conditions Of men, the
Republican party will triumph
never fear.

NEVER SATISFIED.

The P.cayune Of yesterday didn't
want the Congressional Committee
to suspend its Investigations here so
suddenly, as some citizens wished a
complete exposure of existing cor
ruption by an impartial inquest.
Besides this there are give credita-
BILE persons in possession OF unnoted
and important information to be
published whose testimony has been
cut off by this departure" 1t may
be matter of some regret that these
give" did not testify in New Or
leans, 80 that the Press artists might
touch up the coloring of the evid-
ence bit, but the fact that the
Committee will not sit in the Gus
tomhouse here, will scarcely affect
the testimony. Let us remind the
Picayune that these five burdened
and heavy laden gentleman can hie
away to Washington City, where
they will undoubtedly be permitted
to testify.

H%We copy elsewhere an article
from the New Orleans Republican
headed Pinchback VS.. Walker, in
which the point is we'll made by
our cotem. against Judge Walker.
The incident related by the Repub-
lican is one specially worthy of re-
collection, principally as an illustra-
ton of the gross inconsistency of
some people. Judge Walker claims
to be a man anxious for the oblivion
of the past between the colored and
white people of the State, and We
suggest that if he and his kindred
thinkers would be just to our race,
accord to us those rights and privi-
leges to which we are entitled
and not falsely characterize our re-
preventative men, they would do
a great deal towards the accom-
plishment of their much desired
object.

a whole volume of old Bigney's poe
try No. ten thousand times No. !
