Moving For Immigrants.

For the past twelve months AZ least the
chief Recommendation of Louisiana, made
through the columns of her own press, has
been that it is good locality to emigrate
from. 1t has been published far and wide,
with zeal becoming a better cause than
subserviency to political schemers, that
taxation is ruinous, agriculture unprOtita-
bic and planters poverty stricken, the state
Africanized and converted into province
of the Federal government under the rule
of the bayonets. These rash assertions
have been so often repeated that they have
almost become indelibly impressed on the
public mind. While it is true that the state
has been afflicted with many evils, it is
alike true that they have been grossly ex-
aggerated to the most serious detliment of
her schemers for Improvement.
Add to this great obstacle of our own
creating the natural aversion of inhabitants
of the temperate zones to approach the eli
mate of the torrid, the absence of small
tracts of land from the real estate market,
the primitive condition of manufactures,
scarcity Of railroads, limited facilities for
public education, and causes connected
with tffo tate warAand it must at once be
EtHh that the work of inducffr Immigrants
Ii no light task.
Nevertheless, immigration is as needful
to the prosperity of the state as a bone to
u body. All that can he done should be
done, with the least possible delay TO enter
into a successful competition with other
states to induce it. The silly romanees OF
the politicians must be hushed. 1t can on
~ be done by action, not by argument.
For the present, cooperation with the
louisiana immigration Society appears to

ers, TO place small farms in the market at
reasonable prices to issue descriptive cir
culars of the same, with reference to locali
ty and products and to advertise these
lands in the parochial newspapers, and in
at least one at the metropolis of the state
And then society must Cooperate by well
coming new corners to its circles, otherwise
the labor of love will be lost. With these
initiative steps taken the good work can
not fail TO go bravely on.-[ Crescent City.

Capitalization.

We are NO. afraid Of it. We do not ac-
cant the maudlin theories of disappointed
noliticians, who seek to persuade that the
American structure of government will
topple and fall because the "insT are in and
the "outs" are still out. Neither do we be-
leve that public virtue has ceased to oper-
ste. or that greedy politicians may untram-
meled commit any and every excess. The
very latest CLEAN of hope is the universal
denunciation Of the congressional credit
mobilier and back pay transactions, and
their scores of wounded victims hurled
from power and place TO obscurity.
And our faith in the stability of popular
government is not in the least disparaged
6y the action of Federal authorities in re-
fsrence to the Louisiana muddle. The re-
sponsibility for its beginning, progress and
termination must rest upon our own delud-
ed people, who were vietimized by horde
of INSCRIPTIONS leaders who builded up
faith founded on dishonest registration,
stuffed ballot boxes and undue Influences
over courts. They created the muddle; our
courts interpreted the law; and upon their
Interpretation Federal authority was exer-
cised in accordance with long established
usage and precedent. And the door is still
open for the redress of grievances, as is al
ways VIII DC.
And what shall be done about them
Shall we stupidity denounce Grant for pre-
venting us from pummeling each others
heads in the heat of discussion about few
hundred offices Shall we admit our inabill-
ty to rule by placing a sole reliance on the
Federal government for relief Are our
Judges usurpers, our courts venal, and our
laws subject to the caprices of officials :
Then be still hopeful, trust to the integrity
Of our people, aud at the next election, at
the farthest, we will be rid of them. There
Is much spirit, power and ability Tor self
help in the good land yet. Capitalization
Is q mere bugbear, but truth and justice
are mighty and will prevail
So we answer the query of the Herald,
"what wiser course can he pursued by this
people than to memorabilia the Federal
government to take charge of the affairs,
to surrender our state entity, and declare
our inability to save our people from rum
and utter disgrace RI Crescent City,
