LOUISIANA.

In advance Of the meeting Of Con-
gress the Ne1V Orleans PicGyune re-
marks: IF another Congress adjourns
without deposing Durell-administer-
ing a severe rebuke to the President for
the alacrity with which he obeyed the
political orders of an inferior court
which orders were so absolutely null
that the Marshal of the Court was not
even bound to respect them-and with
out turning out the Infamous
usurpers who are now holding
the offices of the government
in this State, is it not too plain
for argument that the principle in
voked in the Louisiana case becomes
engrafted upon the government, and
must in the course of time work itself
out in practical manifestation which
viii overthrow the liberties Of the whole
people? Story, the great commentator
on the Constitution, uses this language:
If despotic OF monarchial govern
ment were established in one State, it
would bring ON the ruin of the whole
Republic" In later issue the Pic
ayune says:
"A most valuable and comprehensive
paper has been prepared, under direction of
the Peoples Committee of Seventy, bv
some Of the ableSt lawyers of the State, on
the Louisiana case. 1t covers and exhausts
the whole narrative and argulmentative
grounds on which it rests, in the interest
of the people, as against usurpers and in
truders in office under Federal auspices,
and proves most conclusively that kellogg
never was returned elected, much less elect
ed; that the Lynch Board (so-called) never
had any other member than Lynch himself;
that Lynch never had any returns before
him, and, in short, that the whole thing
was one of the baldest, thinnest frauds
ever enacted on the political sawdust Ofthe
United States"
Notwithstanding all this, it appears
to be the determination of Grant and
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-11-02

This expression has passed from BIZ
lions of tongues, and scarcely ever
without sense of joy and of pride.
To the young especially has it been a
subject of rejoicing, and to the old it
is ever source of subdued pride in
that it robs age of its evidences, to
some extent at least, and carries with
it a better opinion Of the wearer to the
beholder. This Sabbath morning the
UNION AND AMERICAN puts on
new attire. Not that it is al
already too shabby to be decent and
readable, but because, in obedience to
the laws of renewal and decay, the old
one was worn till we were willing to
dispense with it. We put it on, not
with arrogance, but with, we trust,
just pride. We have done the like a
score or more of times, and are used to
it. 1t is not for holiday-it is our
working apparel Our pride consists
IN that, for period much longer than
any one generation, as workers for the
people, we have been sus-
tanned by the people. In all
the mutations of time, and men, and
affairs, the UNION AND AMERICAN has
shared the confidence of the people.
1t is stronger among them to-day than
it ever was. It has their confidence to
a greater degree, and we trust deserves
it-more than ever before-not more,
we would say, for the superiority Of its
present conductors over their predeces-
sors, but IN steadfast adherence to prin-
ciple in times and circumstances that.
happily, their predecessors were not
called upon to encounter. We are
pround that in the midst of dissension
and contention-in the midst of cor
ruptlOn IN the general administration
IN the midst Of venality and AN accu-
mutation of facts indicating that the
supreme effort of the GOVERNMENT is,
and is to be, to obtain possession Of the
people, and to hold them in bondage
these threatened people accept the
UNION AND AMERICAN as a safe ad-
wiser, and seek its columns for such in
formation as VIII enable them to pre-
serve their rights as freemen.
1t Is in compliment to the great
masses of the the people, our patrons
and friends, therefore, and in their
honor and behalf, that we put these
new types under our presses, and in
doing so pledge them that they shall
never be prostituted to base desertion
Of the people or their rights.

HOW WILL THE COMING WOMAN
RIDE?

Grace Greenwood has brought her DAYS
of camp life to an end. for which we cannot
be too thankful. On the mountain peaks
she met "Miss Anna Dickinson, travelling
in a right jolly and manly fashion, looking
in most cXuberant health and spirits" 1t
strikes us that it would be much more be-
coming in Anna to travel on the Plains in
lc0mORIy fashion, and that our stately
Grace might find something more worthy
of commentator in Colorado than Anna
in brooches on Washington
Republican.
The above criticism raises the ques-
ton whether 1.-The coming woman" Will
be denied the obvious advantage of bal
ancing herself evenly when riding, by
having a foot on either side of the
horse, and a firm seat in the saddle.
The custom which forbids this plain
mechanical power to the weaker sex in
riding with two stirTups, which is en-
joyed by the stronger one, is older than
any history, and Notwithstanding there
is not the slightest probability that the
side-saddle will go out of fashion dur
ing the present generation, the fact that
Anna Dickinson has had the temer-
ity to ride astride on an ordinary
military saddle up the mountains of
Colorado, has brought up for discussion
the question of why she should and why
she should not. One woman thought
the subject so important as to propose
it for discussion in the Woman's Con-
gress in session in New York. There
is an obvious desire in some feminine
minds to ride a horse as man rides, STIR
rup on either side, with confident foot
in each; face to the front, position
erect, and in good command of
the bride. There is no doubt of the
gentleman's seat on horseback having
decided advantages over the side-twist-
ing, spine-bending, awkward position
a lady is compelled to adopt, not to
speak of the bliss of getting rid of the
dangling skirt. 1t is a reform, howev-
er, that pre-supposes too many things.
A change to costume at least partly
bloomer-Miss Dickinson wore a short
dress, striped stockings and high boots
and other notifications that will
hardly be made.

ABALL.ROOM CONVERSATION.

| AS for the talk OF bathrooms, It's Sill
illness and inanity are almost proverbi-
al. And yet what else can one expect?
In the squares" ones attention is so
constantly called off to some process of
bowling, or setting, or crossing over, or
turning round, that it is next to impos-
sible to get half a dozen consecutive
sentences of conversation at time.
Indeed, l have often meditated making
a fortune by publishing, for the use of
men whose small talk is limited,
pocket "Doncers' Conversation Book"
to consist wholly of three-word begin
nings of sentences, such as Don't you
think Have you SEEN" do
you know" and so on. The reader
would be instructed, every time he
found himself at rest beside his part
ner, to start one of these fragments,
with pleasant smile and an interroga-
tive air, in well-founded confidence that
by the time the third word was out of
bis mouth some exigency of the figure
would require him to turn off to some
independent movement on his own part,
which ended, his partner might safely
be assumed to have forgotten all about
his last remark, and to be ready to
listen to another equally illusory. But
even supposing a couple have compare
lively time to talk-as, for instance,
during the short interval between two
dances-how, if (as must continually
happen) they were utter strangers to
one another till ten minutes ago-how,
1 say, can they be expected to get be-
yond the veriest outworks and super
fuities of conversation? The man with
whom it lies to take the lead) may pos
sibly have host of interests, and be
able to talk sensibly or speciously on a
variety of subjects, but at the start he
is quite in the dark as to his partners
tastes and pursuits, and so almost per-
force breaks ground with first one, and
if that fails another, of the ordinary
small-talk questions, on the chance of
lighting upon some topic that the lady
knows or cares about. There is always
a hope of turning up trumps. "Have |
you been to the opera lately?" may dis
cover an ardent musician, and pave the |
way for long ''sit-out' gossip ON
things musical. "Have you been in
town lOng?" may lead to any amount of |
pleasantly rambling talk about places
and people in the counties, or recollec-
tions of continental travel, perhaps the
most fascinating of all kinds of shop"
OF course, if the partners are old
friends, or even tolerably familiar &C
quaintances, the surface-fshing process
is happily unnecessary. and they can
plunge at once into deep waters. Still, |
even if they get upon so-called tender
subjects, it's long odds they won't have
time enough to get out of their depth.
That danger is reserved for the quieter
and more prolonged intercourse of

A GEORGIA AUTHORIZES IN A NEW
ROLE.


Until recently there resided in Geor-
gia lady who sought to achieve the
honors and profits of authorship, and
she has given to the reading public two
novels, Heart Hungry" and Clifford
Troup," the scene of both being laid in
that State. These efforts of Mrs. Maria
Jourdan Westmoreland for she is the
lady referred toy were highly praised by
the Georgia press generally, while news
papers outside that State treated her
literary bantlings with great leniency,
while the local demand for these books
was pretty large. This appears to have
fired her ambition, and she has left At
lanta and gone to New York, where, II
is claimed, there is a wider field for her
genius. But she had scarcely reached
New York when she committed an in
discretion which will greatly damage
her fame not only in Georgia but
throughout the South. 1t appears that
Mrs. Westmoreland took a somewhat
prominent part in the ''Woman's Con
gress" which lately held It's session in
that city. The Neav York Herald says
in its report of the meeting:
'Mrs. Maria Jourdan Westmoreland
came to the platform, and looking like one OF
Titian's high-born DANES, said, in sweet
and low, but distinct voice, that there was
a great necessity for close union between
the women of the North and the South. She
hoped that lecturers would be sent through
the South in order to awaken the ladies OF
that section to immediate action. Mrs.
further stated that she would
gladly give any lecturers letters of introduce
tion TO the first people of the South in order
to further the common object. Mrs. West
moreland spoke on the condition of the
Southern women; she said she knew them
well enough to know that if the papers OF
this Congress had been read in the South,
it would SO rouse them that they would not
be quiet until they had the ballot"
The Southern people will readily en-
courage ladies in their efforts to achieve
fame in the genial walks Of literature,
but they have no patience with "crow-
ing hens" This is fully illustrated in
the treatment of Mrs. Westmoreland
by the Georgia press. The following
paragraph from the augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel, is fair specimen of the
comments upon her last performance:
at need hardly be said that Mrs. West
moreland, in expressing the views with
which she is credited above, does not rep
resent the women of the South. In one
section of the Union, at least, women are
contented TO be wOmen-they have no de-
sire to drag their dainty skirts through the
filthy mire Of politics; no ambition to figure
among roughs and rowdies at the polls.
They have higher and more noble mis-
sion to perform. They run not after strange
gods, but worship at the affairs of the fire
side and the family circle. We would adj:
wise the WOmen's Rights women to stay at
home and not undertake missionary work
in the South. Even Mrs. Westmoreland's
letters will not open to them the doors of
Southern people-and their lectures will
not pay the gas bills and hall rent"
