FRANKLIN gave excellent advice to peo-
pie who desired success in life; and yet
his rules were by no means infallible. A
man may, by industry and economy, &C.
cumulate large amount of property, and
in the end he may lose it. 1t is one thing
to make money, and quite another to keep
it. There is no doubt that life insur-
ance policy in good company is good
investment in the majority of instances.
The money is paid when the family most
need it, and it is usually beyond the reach
of creditors. We do not hesitate to re-
commend the New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the strongest and best,
to all who seek insurance.

that the successful cultivation of tea In

value as an article of commerce would
soon be recognized.

The Party Of Law and Order =!
[From the n. o. Herald, 7th.

The dominant party in this State has
the least claim of any party which ever
existed to complain of the resistance
and violence of it's adversaries. When,
therefore, Mr.. Kellogg manifests so
great a desire and attempts so imperti-
nent an interference with the govern
ment OF Mississippi, as to procure the
arrest and prosecution of the parties
engaged In the late duel at Montgom-
cry Station, it suggests an inquiry into
the record OF these newborn vindica-
tors OF law and order, these violators
Of personal rights and disturbers of the
peace of society. What right have they
of all others to complain of the resort
to illegal and violent means of deter
mining controversies of political and
personal character - they who have
trampled upon the laws and usages of
a we'll regulated community in order
to compass their partisan ends?
The duello we recognize to be an IL
logical, barbarous, and in all its aspects,
a reprehensible custom. But the duel
10, in its worst aspects, wherein indi-
viduals fooliShly and vainly risk their
lives, to settle quarrels, is benign and
innocent usage, contrasted with the
violence, the usurpation, the base and
nefarious means which have been en-
ployed to destroy the life of this State
and overthrow the liberties of this
people.
The aggregate wickedness Of dozen
fatal duels would not approach in enor-
nifty the midnight order issued by de-
bauched Judge at night, and executed
by United States sc,diers, to seize the
State House and drive from it the law
full officers of the Government! What
duel or other homicide ever equaled in
turpitude the fragrant subordnation of
perjury and the other-brutal methods
by which an attempt was made to con-
vict two innocent men of one of the
foulest of crimes! 1t only needed sue
cess of their scheme to render the CO.
hen and Kelley prosecution in Jefferson
one of the darkest and most infamous
of conspiracies against the character
and liberty of the citizen, which was
ever conceived. 1t was accompanied
by every circumstance of conscious, de-
iberate and malicious Wickedness.
And when In the annals OF judicial
excesses and virulence of partisan hate
and rancor, can we find the parallel to
the late libel suit of Hawkins VS.. the
Picayune, in the trial of which a Judge
was found whose rulings would have
shamed Jetfries or Scruggs! And, fl
nally, in what transactions, or act of an
individual OF individuals, in the histo-
ry of crimes, can we find so great de-
gree of crimiuality and outrage of the
rights of man, so audacious, and tramp
ling on all the preeepts of our fathers
and the founders of our political sys
tenn, as are chargeable against those
who have organized band of military
janizaries to overawe free people, and
impose upon them the usurpation which
is crushing out the life of this State,
and reducing its best citizens to the
condition of serfs, despoiled alike of
their property and their freedom!

There are threatening signs in the
West; secret order of semi military
character, said already to number near
ly three hundred thousand members, is
organizing iu Missouri, Iowa, Kansas
and other Western States, under the
name of the League of Justice The
objects of this order are the repudia-
ton of the railroad bonds issued by
counties, towns and cities throughout
the West, and the seizure as public do
main, of the lands that have been grant
ed to corporations by Congress and a
common division of them among the
people. a
The members of the order are said to
be armed, ,@and their motive is justice
for the people, peaceably if possible,
but forcibly if necessary. They claim
that the lands belong to the people,
and were and are the heritage of the
working men, and that they never au-
thorized their representatives in Con-
gress to deed them away to vast and
rich monopolies. @
We think from what we have read
and from the existence of causes likely
to lead to the formation of such a soci-
ETY., that some such Organization does
exist. The prevalence of corruption
and crime have reached such an extent,
that it seems impossible society should
much longer avoid one of those fierce
and bloody convulsions which ineyita-
bly, result from the prevalence of cor
ruption in public Offices; the lowering
of the moral tone of society, and the
organization of gigantic niouopolies at
the expense of the working classes. We
have WATCHED, during the past few
years, the rapid growth OF these evils,
but hoped that the people would rise
superior to them; that there was q cor
rective force in the free press and the
diff lsion of intelligence that would
restore the tone of society, and sweep
corrnptlonists and monopolies from the
lace OF the earth. We begin to fear,
however, that we have hoped in vain.
and that the vice and yillainv and
wrong that stalk in the high places of
| the lands and hanIit their spiendors in
the mid day sun, must yet result Id one
of those terrible upheavals Of the Deo-
/ pie which, in purifying the moral at
mosphere, and read justing the relations
Iof capital and labor, have left their
bloody traces on the pages Of the llisto-
ry of mankind. The .Leagne of JUS
tice' may or may not be reality, but
as certain as effect follows cause, the
c0nynlsion will come sooner or later,
unless an adequate effortais soon made
to check the progress of the political
and economic evils that are weighing
like an incubus upon the country.

Opelousas, Parish Of st. Landry, La. July 10,

We copy the FOLLOWING items from
the Lake Charles (Calcasieu) Echo of
the 5th instant:
Notwithstanding the hard times, a
stranger entering our village would
certainly think that it had fairly en-
tered on the good time coming. There
is not street, nor scarcely square, in
town, which does not evidence mark
ed and constantly progressing improve
ment, and it is impossible now to stand
in any part of Lake Charles without
seeing new buildings and new fences.
Verify, the carpenters have taken the
town by storm.
Last Thursday, July 3D. while VIM.
NJ. Nicholson, a we'll known citizen of
this parish, living on the West Fork of
the Calcasieu river, about nine miles
from here, was riding by the side of his
log cart, about half mile north of
Ritchie's Ferry, young man named
Benjamin Sellers stepped from behind
a tree by the side of the road, with q
double barrelled gun and deliberately
shot Mr.. Nicholson from his horse, and
then walked around to the body of his
dying victim, and literally blew his
brains out with the other barrel of his
gun. Sellers Is at large, and though
the Sheriff started at once for the scene
Of the homicide on hearing Of it, sew
eral hours had elapsed, and Sellers is
probably across the Sabine. -
