SHREVEPORT SOUTHWESTERN.
We regret to see by the last No. of
this journal that Col. w. Q. Capers,
who, for the last twelve months
has been its Editor in chief, has
resigned that position. Under the
editorial control of Col. Capers
the Somth,ccstern was one of the
ablest and most influential papers
in Louisiana--it was decidedly
Democratic in tone, and its editori-
ais had the ring of true metal.
In his vaIedictory Col. Capers as
signs no cause for his withdrawal
If it was on account of the emphatic
stand he took in favor of the Nc
Emery government of Louisiana
we may say, the White Mans gov
eminent, in opposition to the Pinch
back, or Negro experimentation
the proprietor of the Southeastern
may find out, ere long, that he has
made great mistake.
We part with Col. Capers, as one
of the editorial fraternity, with great
regret, and hope he may soon re-
sumo a positiOn-that of the chair
editOriaI-he is SO we'll fitted, by
education and talents, to fill. We
wish him great happiness wherever
his lot may be cast, and in whatever
position inclination or duty may
impel him to occupy in the future.

most celebrated foundries in the world, that
of Higgins, London, England, which they will

and upwards. They also offer to import large

They supply sorts in large or small quantities
from their stock on hand in New York at the

price of the article, both home and foreign
manufacture. will immedi ately fall so per cent
below the present scale. Messrs. George P.
Rowell & Co. are known as conducting the
largest advertising business ever secured by
one house, and are also extensive dealers in
printing material. They are compelled to
import foreign goods because American found

keep the price vastly too high, and at the same
time make it an exception to every other spe-

Less Cotton.

The sensible editors of the cotton
States are still urging their readers
to plant less cotton and more corn
than usual this year; and if not
more corn, more of something else /;
anything for diversity of crops
and for less cotton. From a late
number of the Columbus (Ga.) San
we take the following:
Thus early We must again admonish our
farmers to plant corn sufficient to make plant
atoms self-sustaining. There is now enough
in this section to supply all until spring
them throughout the season have evinced
wisdom. We care hot what calculations will
show. Experience proves that no Southern
planter can make money and buy corn. When
he is dependent on the West for his bread, he
becomes merely the overseer of her mer-
chants. Those with abundant granaries and
well filled smoke houses are Independent of
the West, and are not ruined by paying enor-
nous interest, and can sell their cotton as
they will. They can employ overseers, and
not themselves be overseers for strangers.
We simply refer to the history of the past four
years for the truth of our observations: The
South should be the richest country in the
world. Few are poorer. Can't our farmers
one year endeavor to redeem their section
1t may not appear entirely clear to all how
planting less. cOttOn can make US more wealthy.
In the first place, as minated in the above, a
raising of our own supplies will enable US to
make money. or, at least, to keep it when we
have made it. As the thing now works, there
is constant drain upon our purses for sup
plies-the money goes North as fast as we
can make it. and comparatively little ever
finds its way back again. In the second place,
if we raise but little cotton, that little will
always command better price, owing to the
fact that there will be no possibility Of glut
in the market.

TIE LUNATIC ASYLUM.-We are
indebted to DIR. w. NJ. Compton, the
able and very efficient Superintend-
ent of the NJ. S. L. Asylum, for his
report OH the affairs and condition
of the institution during the year
1872. The report is full and exhast-
i've of the subject. From it we learn
that the "new wings" were complet-
ed during the year, and the capacity
of the building to accommodate the
insane aud lunatic has been dupli-
acted. The whole number of pa
tients in the year 1872 was 2S7-re-
manning at end of year, 81.
We would like to make extracts
from the report, but our limited

An Empty Honor.

The City Council of Meridian re.
(ntfy determined to have their
Foceedings published in one of the
ty papers, and notified the pub
bhers that proposals would be re-
Eived, and the work would be Civ
to the lowest bidder. The Mer-
Fry proposed to do it +" free. gratis,
r nothing" learning which, and
etermined not to be outdone in lib
Fality, the Gazette, also, offered to
b it on the same cheap terms /;
hereupon the Council went into an
lection for printer, and, owing to
be absence of one of the Gasette,s
fiends, the Mercury was the recipi-
pit of the honor of doing the work
pr nothing!
Now, this is one thing, among
fhers, that is running the printing
|usiness in Mississippi-this offer
pg to do work for nothing that, by
u the rules of business. justice and
light, ought to be paid for. The
Pea Of an impecuni0us publisher of
newspaper advertising for cor
GRAFTON for nothing, seems to us
great absurdity. The tax payers
ave the bill to foot in these cases
they want to see what their public
ervants are doing, and are willing
D pay for it. This is the view tax
o of the matter by Col. Cooper of
he Gazette, and he says that the
'Ouncil, having elected the Mercury
ub!ic printer, now it should vote
hat paper pecuniary compensation
Dr. the work. The remarks of the
Iazette on this subject are SO just
nd sensible, we regret we have not
pace to publish them.
At the next meeting Of the Press
we hope some member
ill introduce this subject of gra-
1itous work. Members of the AS
OciatiOn should not let their rivalry
IN to such lengths. 1t is simply
valry run mad.
