This observation of Jmius was
strictly true in his day, and holds
true down to this good hour, and we
are not sure that Johnson mot An

that patriotism was the last refuge
OF scoundrels. Our credit Mobi-

the cry of patriotism they stole into
the high places of honor aud profit,
and then robbed the treasury with
a gusto common to all pickpockets.

ANOTHER PUBLIC SCANDAL.

1t will be remembered that the
United States Commissioners at the
great Vienna Exhibition, headed by
Gen. Van Buren,, were suspended
two weeks ago for disgracefully and
corruptly specializing in their hon
orable trust. An exchange, COM
menting upon it says, sit is thus
that the greed of money is bringing
us into disgrace at home and
abroad" And we will add, and
thus the name of American is be-
coming, throughout the civilized
world. what the word Greek was in
the las. ages OF the Roman Empire,
a synonym OF duplicity and avarice.

LOUISIANA.
CIvn war Inaugurated.

Our readers are informed of the
bloody conflict which occurred be-
tween the whites and black in Grant
Parish, La, some weeks ago 1t
was hoped that this serious affair
would open the eyes of the Govern
ment to the wrongs being heaped,
mountain high, on the people Of
that unhappy State. But the Gov
eminent still backs the usurper
Kellogg and his corrupt crew, and q
fierce war of races seems to be the
result. The Kellogg Government
has organized an army, which is
now invading the country districts,
and the citizens are arming for re-
sistence. Conflicts between the
Kellogg forces and the citizens are
reported. Gun stores have been
broken open and arms taken. Kel-
lOgg has been fired on in the streets
of New Orleans. Serious fighting
is reported from st. Martinsyille,
and other points in Louisiana. The
Grand Jury of Orleans Parish have
commanded Kellogg and his officers
to appear before them on a charge
Of usurpation. Intense excitement
prevails throughout the State, and
planting and business of all kinds
is in a manner suspended. New
Orleans is in perfect chaos. Armed
citizens are guarding ferries and
bridges throughout the State, deter
mined to resist the usurping Gov
eminent forced on them by bayo-
netts. U. S. Troops are being sent
to the aid of the Kellogg forces, and
it seems that the whites of Louisi-
anna must either become slaves, or
suffer humiliation. Col. DeBlanc, q
distinguished soldier of Stonewall
JacksOn's, during the war, COM
mands the State forces. We watch
with painful interest the progress
of this anomalous struggle. Where
will it end?

MYSTERIOUS DEATHs.-A con-
tractor named Patrick Smith, and a
dozen laborers, died suddenly, aud
in the most mysterious manner on
the Paducah railroad, about twenty
miles from Memphis. The men
were attacked with vomiting and
purging, accompanied with violent
pain, which carried them of rapidly.
The general opinion is that death
was caused by the men drinking wa
ter impregnated with dead caterpil-
lars, while some are of opinion that
it was a case of poisoning. A post
Inortem examination was made on
the body of one the deceased, and
the stomach was filled only with gas.
There are several others sick at

Of Humboldt, but do feel enthused when

Prof. johnson will bring with him to our

most, if not all of his present faculty at
Jackson will be chosen by the Trustees,
particularly Miss Hart in the musical de-
partment.
1t is expressly understood and agreed
that no partisan or seetarian infiunce shall
govern the school, and will be known by no

under the control and supervision of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and
that united effort on the part of our peo-
will be exerted to make it an institution in
ferior to none for the advancement of edu-
cation and a permanent improvement of
the youthful mind.
We are informed by Col q. w. Day,
President of the Board of Trustees, that
those of the male students over the age Of
twelve years-belonging to the school-win
be allowed TO continue to a completion OF
their studies, reciting to the President
alone, but no other male students will be
admitted over the age of twelve years.
Arrangements have been made to enclose
the college grounds at once, and to procure
full set of chemical and philosophical in
