The Louisiana cotton-boll. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], Attakapas, La.) 1872-1883, 1873-06-11

The rebellion is over. Grim visaged
wal has smoothed its wrinkled brow.
The white winged messenger of peace
has flown DOR tho sunny South; II III
it, passage hns whispered in the ear OF
tho heroes of a lost cause the c"uhc''S
of submission. Her admonitions ar"
heard and nbeyed, and yet Louisiana is
neither prosperous, c"ntented or happy.
She !. destined to suffer yet awhile, hut
for mi her prolonged ng"nieS IN" ~

foudest h ,pes at no distant period
Only yesterday her great metropolis
nndauern city, had the honor OF extend
iny(aor generous hospitalitl"S to more
han one half Of tho Legislators OF the
National Congress, These distinguish
cd visitors were no loss divided IN their
political opinions than lii the oDJeoI
which attracted them 80 far from ho'he
and to IA city which they only had Gn""h
as a southern commercial emporium.
Their few days GF5purn hor" was sui"

the misrrprcsentod people OF this sec

needs and necessities of the commercial
interests Of this New York Of the Gull.

still that element, it is supposed ana
believed by many, will be infused by q
liberal spirit toward the South and her
wants, cngendered by the circumstances
attending the recent Congressional
Coz ~vcntion held at St. Louis, and the
Southern tour of its members. Should
these promises provo correct. then
indeed a new era will dawn upon Lou
isiuna. Remove from the minds of the
men who control Nation al legislation
the unwarrantod p~rejudices they have
towards the south and her institutions,
and you then open the door which leads
to her future redemption. Impartial
National legislation viii be the key note
to better and more honest State legisIa>
ton. One, as tho late history OF the
country forces us to admit, being the
parent of the other, the child is likely
to adopt the precents of its creator.
The sanitary condition of this CITY
having been the subject of considerable
dispute and Misrepresentation abroad, |
forego the opportunity to "llude
to the Subject. The past weeks NOR
furry report exhibits a decline OF over
twenty-five per cent.-the deaths tor
that period from oil diseases amounting
to $50. The few cases Of choler" re-
ported are very insignificant and only
US generally appear in all large
at this season Of tho year.
The summer hegira has just set in.
On every bad is observable the notes
Of preparation Of the tourists. The In"
dications arc, notwithstanding the past
dull business season, New Orleans will
send more than her usual quota OF rep
resentativcs to the Northern and Eu-
points Of fashion and pleasure;
God speed them in their parting u
may they return in due season win
rudy faces and light hearts to greet the
lear on0s left behind.
