A Protest. from n Southern Name
RRASnEARA Nav .. 6S1 ]

EDITOR REPUBLICANs
In a recent article In fGe New Orleans
Times Mro Roundabout I'VE will call him
R0usto60tt, and plead that it's no misno-
mer), among an interminable lot Of misrep-
reservations as to matters in the Teche
countrys and while expending his spleen
and venom in all directions regardless of
proprietye civility or JUSTICE takes occasion
to say that Judge Train was followed to
Franklin by few briefess lawyers when
he went up to open his last Germ Of court.
Now, we say it is exceedingly ungenero. g
in this Roustabout, this kicked about, th q
football of the prejudiced, demented clas g
of whom he is the mtrcenary, to
hurl his malicious darts, and, in this
pandering style, to make these animadver-
sions against those who are only trying in
their humble way to be law abiding citi-
zens, and to exc out their miserable exist
ence in peaceful Obscuritya There are a
few of Us who admit that there are bad
men in the Republican party, and, if we
gould, we wsuld procure a fresh importa-
tion from the angelic host to fill our offices,
in order to crafty the cynics of the present
dave But since We are pOwerless to do
this, and are assured that the heavenly i'm
migrants would Immediately be branded
as fiends if they should profess Republican
doctrines, we were disposed to take things as
they were, and Eope that time and the bitter
experience which results from the election
of bad rulers would set the people right,
who surely will not always be disposed to
plunge the murderous knife to the vitals
of their welfare. But, forsooth, Roust-
about lays torcible hands upon us and
would drag us, noienS r0lens. into the CO.
horts which are marshaling for the disin-
tegration of the government. And has it
come to this, that man can not think ac-
cording to the tendency of his faculties,
and is to be driven to war when he prefers
peace, We INDUCED the hope that in this
contest, waged bv our Southern friends, in
furiated and desperate, we are sorry to say,
We would be permitted to keep aloof and
look regretfully on. But koustabout with
his potent gray goose quill proposes to force
us into it in spite of our efforts to find a cozy
retreat from the merciless storm. We are
Southrons ''native to the manor born. and
every fibre and atom Of our natures Is in
sympathy with the prosperity of the South.
But if we happen to think that it is not the
best policy in the Southern people to keep
up this violent resistance to the govern
meDt, we see no good reason why we should
not be permitted to indulge our oninions in
quiet. LEUkOS.

has ruled in several cases that he viii not
cry cases for reduction of assessments on
real estate. Parties who have neglected to
avail themselves of their rights under the

LONDON. Nav 6o-In the House Of Gone
mons tonight Sir Charles Dixie moved a
resolution that in the opinion of the House
it is desirable to redress the irregularities
in the distribution of political power in the
United Kingdom. He complained the
legitimate influence of large and important
towns was swamped by the small and de-
caying boroughs, in which single individe
Ual was paramount over constituency
He pointed out the existing anomalies in
representation. and declared the time of
tinkering had gone by, and a complete ana
thorough revision was the only remedy.
Mr.. ADdersoa, member for Glasgow, sec.
onded the motion. He showed England
was entitled to f90 instead Of 493 members
OF Parliament; Ireland to have eighty nine
instead of l05, and Scotland seven, four
instead OF sixty. There were eight CON
stItuencies, with an aggregate Of 1910
voters, which had the eaEe representation
as eight others with 1890, 900 vorers. IL
was impossible TO delay redistribution much
longer.
Thomas Collins, member for Boston, op-
posed tn o motion. He said: No method of
redistribution was set forth. The counties
already had the advantage OF the boroughs
Representation based on the population
would result in giving further power to a
class already in unfair majority The true
representation was not Gne of numbers
but of the various elements, interests and
classes OF the community.
Mr.. Gladstone acknow ged the force of
the reasons on which the motion was
based, but said he was unable to support
IT. He admitted he was in favor of a
distribution in Ireland: but even that was
not urgent.
The subject was full of difficulties, and it
was idle to approach it unless the members
were prepared to ceal with the details.
