So-called Senator Cage Las read al
about the attempt @: the hackwoods
hunter 20 cheat his Indian partner
out Of the fruits OF their hunting match,
| ami we are sorry to see that he did not
have the discrimination to discover that
the white man no: only came out Of that
transaction without having succeeded. but
that he managed to cloud his reputation
for good sense by the offer that he made.
The suggestion Of M. Gage. for he is no
Senator. is to this effect, that as a COM
promise of the difficulties that now con-
vulse Louisiana" the members Of the Sen
ate who held over, and the members who
were returned By both boards of returning
officers. together with the Representatives.
returned by both returning boards, shall
meet and constitute the Legislature, ard
that this body shall have pienary power
to dispose O: al questions concerning the
recent election. This is the offer Of the
backwoodsman to the Indian. in about
as near the original language and spirit as
it could De put. The Republicans aye re-
Guested to trade themselves out Of the .ur-
key which they hunted for and captured,
with as much coolness as if they We're
set Of fools. Mr.. Cage will have 70 school
himself into this lesson. as we have
schooled him into another, that the men
lie denOurces as Radicals and carpet
5aggers. as planderers and rascais. are at
least his equals in intelligence. and are
prepared TO trade for their turkey il their
own fashion. and that they generally carry
home the bird.
Tie resul: of Mr.. Cages suggestion, ii
it could be accepted, would be to give the
fus;onists thirteen III the Senate thus to
be constituted and the Republicans ten,
with two doubtful men in tie list. The
sane result would be obtained in tie

EVILS AND THEIR CURES.

Two local items in TIE Times, both mis-
directed. as usual, either by design or
from lack Of wisdom, discover the true
source Of TIE despo.ism that a.fiicts this
peefle. One iten reports tina: q drove of
cattle belonging TO dairyman in the
Sixth District had been captured and
driven into the pound by party Of men
who live by tia: sort of work. The other
item reports tha: SIX persons with their
families have determined to leave New
Orleans for Texas, because they have
failed. after fifteen years hard labor. 70
secure 3 living il this radically oppressed
State.
Putting these items together. We find
that the pounds. which should only be
used to protec: the citizens. are made the
means Of expressing them. even under
tn. Democratic administration that pre-
walls a. the City Hall. We also find that
the peopl> in the Sixth District are their
own opp-essors, these pound robbers
being part Of their own society. The
misfoc:uIes that have been inflicted upon
this community are not 10 be fouEd in tie
State government, but in the exactions
that have been prac;iced by one class upon
another. The Democrats have made 4

which males rs responsible in y

Cabans have initiated the American peo-
PIE. in seeking to escape from an oppressive

they are entitled to be considered rs

effort of Spain to overcome this attempt of

recognition concerning the republicans OF
Cuba, unless. indeed. the dissensiors
