WE take the liberty Of suggesting to
the Bogus CHARLEYs that they might get
Into Capt. JACKS stronghold to-day by
means Of a long "crevice" or cave leading
into the Lava Bed from the east. 1t is
called sewer; but the elegant gentlemen
who are languishing for the delights Of a
Pcnitentiary cell will hardly object to
any little unpleassntness in the avenue Of
approach. At the same time we suggest
to Capt. JACK that a trap set at the inside
opening Of the sewer might secure some
very hne game.

A CHANCE FOR MGRK.-Mark Twain
wrote the Graphic a few days ago that he
should be Obliged to go to Europe; things
were so dull and monotonouS here he
couldn't endure 1t much longer; nothing
going on, no news to stir the blood. II
Marx would take little trip out 10 the
Lava Bed about this time (taking Lime.
stone Parish, La, on the route) he might
find relief for his elegant ennui. An in
terview with Capt. Jack would relieve
him of all desire TO visit Europe and
would save him a good deal Of money
besides. The Lava Bed would afford
Mark fine field for "roughing it" He
could hardly find a rougher country any
where; and il he found it too tame for his
6!dSe soul, Jack would undertake to make
it as rough for him as he could possibly
desire.

A COUNCIL of war was held at the St.
James last night to consider the advisa-
bility Of renewal Of the attack on the
MoDoC stronghold to-day. There was q
long discussion whether battering rams or
scaling ladders would be most effective.
Some advised that the Lava Bed be shell.
ed with stale eggs). Others thought
JACK and his men might be smoked out
with birthstone matches; while still others
believed the better way would be to sur
round and cut of supplies. 1t was sug-
gested again that q decentralization"
might be erected around the fortress from
the top Of which when raised, the beseig-
ers could look down on the interior and
pick of the MoDoCs at pleasure, but 1t
being suggested that the latter being arm
ed with sixteen.shooters could pick of
the beseigers with equal ease, this idea
was abandoned. Two things, and only
two, were finally agreed on viz: that
Capt JACK when captured should be
scalped and hung up to dry and that the
council OF war should now unanimously
take drink. Drunk standing and in
sIlence.)

We really feel very kindly towards the
gentlemen who yesterday made an un'
successful attempt to get into the Peni'
uliary. They should not be discour'
cd. There are more ways than
ne to do thing OF! that kind. The
Courts are opCn to them and 1t ought tc
encourage them to reflect that 1t was
through the interposition oI the Courts
that all the regular boarders in the insti'
tuition secured their places. A romantic
story was told not long ago in our col
umus Of brave and loving girl out in the
mountains who, being divided from her
liver by the cruel walls that were so in
ex1rable yesterday, went and burned q
school house and soon found herself
sharer OF his cell. We don't par
ticularly suggest the burning Of schooI
houses in this case; but there are many
things that would entitle our despondenl
friends to free ticket into Mr.. SHALL
cross boarding house through the friend
ly offices OF the Courts, much more speed
ily, too, than writs Of quo UarTaHto Oh
mandamuS. There ought to be but little
trouble about getting into Penitentiary
to a person,giited with spark Of imagi'
nation; but It is also our duty 10 warn
these gentlemen that it Is the getting ouI
agaiD, in case the fare doesn't happen tC
please, that taxes the invention and tries
the forlitude. We know some bosrdert
down there who were not halt as anxious
to get in as these fellows, who would
sacrifice Glftho comforts Of home to gel
out again.

CONGR ESSIONAL SALARY GRAB.

1t was asserted during the late
Civil War when the salaries Of Con.
gressmen and almost every article O.
consumption used by the people Of
the United States, ruled high, in order
to obtain means to carry on the war
and support the Government, a little
additional tax was necessary on home
con sumption and home labor; but,
that when the war closed and Peace
returned to bless our land-whnn the
Olive Branch of "liberty, fraternity,
equality, was extended from tie
,forth to the South, that the salaries
of Congressman and our public officers
would be reduced and prices lessoncd
to the consumer. Has such been the
fact ? Is it the case now? Have the
salaries of Congressman been cur
tailed? Has our Army been placed
on the peace list? DO we keep up
n standing Army-that great enemy
Of civil liberty--in time Of profound
peace to cat out the Substance Of the
people, which was so sturdily de-
nounccd by the Declaration Of Inde~
rendence and hurled down the throat
Of George ]II2
