alleged Illegal and arbitrary action Of
Judge Durell might be subjected to his
calra and fair revision; but their reason-
able request Is refused. They are to be
left under the heel Of a judge who has
trodden on the neck of the State, and
now holds it helpless under his foot,
with a Federal bayonet at its throat.
With a refinement Of tyranny, the Peo-
pie Of Louisiana are told that they have
their remedy In an appeal from Judge
Durens final decision when that shall
be reached, while at the same time it Is
announced that the proceedings hitherto
had before that convenient judge are
only interlocutory, and hence not sub
feet to appeal! Meanwhile the press
the only remaining safeguard Of the lib
erty Of the eitizen-is suppressed at the
viii of those who have already over
thrown the government, outraged the
laws, and defied the constitution, and
the administration at Washington looks
approvingly on and issues its edicts that
the usurpens shall be regarded as the
only lawful authorities of the State.
Could these things have happened before
the Presidential election?

TALK Is CHEAP.

Many there are who are exempt from care,

Who, though by no means prone to fdleness

The New York EVeaing Post, which
supported Grant during the election,
but has always been noted for a sturdy
independence. says there is something
in the Credit Mobilier scandal which il
should uncover, and should not try tC
hide. It regards the investigation as q
farcs-as one of those withdrawing
inquiries which are intended to conceal
instead Of exposing frauds. Says the
Post:
The investigation, therefore, is not
merely farce; 1t is an Insult to the in
telligence of the people, and should be
resented IS such BY every Journal in the
country that has no interest but that Of
the people to subserve. As one Of those
Journals we do 50 resent IT, and we
frankly RvOw our belief that il an inves-
tigating committee cannot venture to
sit with open doors, it is because Con-
gress Is afraid that the character Of its
legislation should be known to the peo-
pie, and it breads the public indignation.
The statements Of McCOmb In regard
to this Mo5iiier scandal were too plain
and eircRmstautial. The people believe
them, and it win take more than the
mere asseveration Of members to dis
prove them. Congress must give US the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
IN this matter, no matter who it hurts
Radical, Liberal or Democrat.

Norwood. and other of the pretty vii
lagos which lie round Sydenham, writes
the London correspondent CT the St0iss
Times, have during the past few weeks
become most Objectionable places of res
idenee to ladies and children, and even
to nervous men, in consequence of GER
tain freaks of a set of rufiilns who call
themselves gentlemen. These lads,
wrapped in large elOaks, wander about
the highways and byways, sometimes
singly, sometimes in couples, but having
accomplices near. On the approach OF
ladies they suddenly fling open the
cloak, and reveal their breast, wholly
covered with blazing phosphorus. The
shock to any one would be great, but to
women and children it is oyerp0wering,
and in consequence the towards who as
sail them have hitherto always been able
to. make of before assistance could he
procured. am told that children are now
lying dangerously i'll in more than one
house at Beckenham from frights given
them by this new class of ghosts. The
gentlemen of the neighborhOod have
taken the matter up in the proper spirit,
and their first step has been the issue of
a notice announcing to ladies in general
that if q poeket-revOlver is used when
these fuffians make their appearance, it
is justifiable by law to shoot them dead.

FREE NEGRO LABOR IN VIR-
CHINA.

Our artists were surprised to find ne
groes so generally employed as road
builders. They have proved, in fact,
excellent laborers, both as track-makers
and for mining, blasting, and for all the
other work of railroad building. They
lived in shanties along the road, wher-
ever their work lay, and as is usual with
the negroes, they were musical, as well
as orderly and sober. Ragged, too, they
were, to the last degree, until one Won
dered where so great q multitude of
rags came from; and whether it had
ever occurred to one of these jolly fat
fellows to buy him q new suit of clothes.
They live well, rather despising corn
bread, and using a great deal Of canned
fruit and vegetables; and the sausage is
to them q sayory dish. But few of
them had learned TO read, though some
had learned a trade, and were
proud of it. We heard it often re-
marked that they would never again
live in cities, but acquire farms for
themselves. No doubt their experience
on the road, far away from home, has
increased their intelligence, and their
capacity to help themselves. They save
mOney-the contractor reported this
very generally; they have not the habit
of drinking whisky; and on the work
itself, as they took their chances with
the white wofkmen, so they were treat
ed with absolute equality, not the
slightest bullying being allowed or at
tempted. Indeed, wherever there is
real genuine hard work to be done, by
men, they soon cease to regard color
or other distinctions, and respect
each other according to the ability each
manifests. This is true everywhere, and
was true, of course, here. The con-
tractors had but one complaint to make
that the cOlored men eOOltlCl go 'thomeu
for Christmas. Home, to them, meant
Eastern Virginia, and we are told that
many Of them returned joyfully to the
old plantations where formerly they
were slaves, and where, as more than
one former master told US, they are still
made welcome on holidays" NetO

VALUABLE CATS.

At the cat show recently held in the
Crystal Palace, London, there were
some valuable animals of the species ex-
hibited. The Spectator says: ''AmOnz
the shOrt-baired female eats there are
two red tabbies, the only specimens ever
exhibited of animals almost as rare as
the sTortOise-shell Tom.' They are both
exceedingly handsome, and, Of course,
form distinct class. But they are Of
unequal value. 'ZoOnie,i the first, aged
four years and three months, is the
proud mother Of fifty-three kittens, and
her price is prohibitOry, five hundred
pounds The second has no name, Ia
four and a half months old, and
may be purchased for five guineas.
The cats are divided into forty
eight classes, a variety very surprisin
to persons who have not studied q
subject and very interesting trae

the shOrt-haired and long-haire
mails. The former occupied one
the raised platform; the latter,
responding order, were placed d
to them; while the pens at the e..

by numbers Of beautiful kittens, whose
innocent dewy eyes and playful restless
ness eontrasted with the prepOnderating
expression Of reserved aud watehfIl

wOMAN's RIGHTS IN HOLLAND.

A letter from Holland, in the Cincin-
natl Gazette, says: Gin Holland first
saw dogs, women and cows used as
beasts of burden. The dog is O useful
animal in this country, and, like other
Woodworking, honest people, is too
tired to skylark around and bark at
night, and the COW has little time to
chew her eud ia repose. The women
have their rights-that is, the glorious
right Of working as hard as a man, and
in the same dirty avOeatiOns. While
the oppressed sisters of America have
time to make themselves miserable, and
eavort over the country in search OF
their rights, the staid women Of this
country are quietly but diligently plOw-
ing the fields, harvesting the grain,
cleaning the public streets, loading and
unloading vessels, and with the aid of
dogs, with whom they are often har-
messed, drawing heavily-ladeE wagons,
and doing such other labor as is usually
performed by men. Would It not be
well for the downtrOdden sisters of
America to rig. up a Mayf0wer and set
sail for the land Of liberty, where they
can work as hard and as long as man,
and no one to gainssy or make them
afraid? WhU q glorious field is now
opened for their long unused muscles
While such an act, ike virtue, has its
own reward, yet it mightin some degree
cancel our national obligations 10 The

THOSE who have not examined the
subject have no idea how rapidly the
foreign trade of the South has increased
since the war. A comparative state
ment o. the foreign imports st the
Southern ports develops the fact that in
1870 the total amount was forty two
million three hundred and ten thousand
four hundred and forty-seven dollars,
against forty million two hundred and
seventy-five thousand seven hundred
and fifty-seven dollars in 1850. Taken
in connection with the large consump-
ton, by the South, Of foreign goods pur-
chased IN Northern cities, this state
ment would indicate a remarkable recu-
perstion Of commerce. The census re-
turns also chow that the exports from
the same ports have improved to an
equal extent, the aggregate value of the
shipments 70 foreign ports in 1870
amounting TO two hundred aud eight
