Louisiana.

The result Of the Louisiana election
is only part of a general victory all
along the line, but it is the most graf.
flying part. The result in Masschu-
sets is marvel, bat the result in
Louisiana is something infinitely bet
teri is o de!iverance and while
we rejoice at the defeat of Republican
ism all over the land, we. feel pccu-
liarly greatful for the signal defeat OF
the administration in Louisiana, be-
cause it releases that long prosecuted
people from torture. In the defeat of
the Kellogg party by decisive ma
jOrity, the displacement of four Radi-
cal congressman with four conserva-
tives, and the election of a strong
Conservative legislature, we see how
enormous was the crime committed
by Durrell and Grant, and supported
by Morton and a Republican senate,
ofimposing the Kellogg government
on that state. Twice have the brave
and patient people of Louisiana over
thrown the Infamous custom-house
conspiracy-once by bullets and once
by ballots. Surely, they deserve
their patiently awaited and twicc-won
deliveranc, and we are sure, their
everywhere rejoice at
their success.

Sound Sense.

In two years more. however, and in time
to give the Democratic administration of 1877
substantial backing, the Republican ma
lority in the senate can be wiped out entirely
TO so glorious a consummatiou let us all
labor, intelligently and discreetIy. Let us re.
member that the Democracy, as a national
party, is just emerging from the fatality of
seventeen years of defeat and overwhelming
disaster; that lifted up and reinvigorated as
II has been by the people, it is only trial
test OF It's capacity TO rule and govern wise
ly, and in accordance with the constitution
as it is. We Of the South especially must act
IN moderation, and do all we can in Justice
to ourselves, to dsarm the negro of the
prejudices with which his mind has been
filled against us. We must dispei his appre-
tensions and distrustS Of Us, and prove to In "
that we are not disposed to trench upon his
rights and Liberties, but that in spirit Of fair
ness. OF justice and equity becoming our
responsibilities and intelligence, we wiiI pro-
tect and defend them in them all. Let us,
to- prove to the Republicans of the North
that we are Americans as they are tina, we
have the same Interest in the country, and in
party ascendancy seek only the good OF the
republic, Whose glory Is ours, and whose still
glorious fuiure we mast share. Above ali.
let us satisfy our brethren of the North. who
have by their votes, mad. il possible for u, to
shout ''victoryE that We are worthy Of their
confidence. and will coninue to deserve II by
a faithful adherance to the principles Of ,I,e

A Proud Day For Alabama.

been a day of great rejoicing There
was an immense crowd, and the mill
tary display was magnificent. Gov.

it is my firm determination to respect
and maintain my oath of office. /
unhesitatingly undertake to perform
such duties as it imposes, and regard
i: one of my highest and most sacred
obligations to see that the laws are
faithfully executed, and the rights of
all citizens, without regard to race, col
or or previous condition, are respect
ed. Let this occasion inspire the con-
viction that we live in a land of liber-
ty, regulated by law, without which
the citizens would be unsecured
against domestic violence and our du-
ty is tOprcserve such laws within con-
stitutional purity, etc, etc.

Good News for VickSbury.

The best piece of news Vicksburg-
crs have received for long time was
contained in the dispatches published
yesterday morning from Washington,
announcing that the Superior Court
Of the United States had rendered a
decision in the case of the StockLold-
crs vs.. the present illegal possessors
Of the North Louisiana and Texas
Railroad. The final adjudicator de-
clares the sale made after the close of
the war to the Ludcling, RAY Ring at
Monroe, was fraudulent, and rcmands
the case back to the Federal District
court for North Louisiana, where the
bill to set aside the Fraudulent sale
the road was dismissed. This virtu-
ally disposes Of the case, and gives
Fannin, Grant & Co., voice il, what
ever disposition is to be made of the
property hereafter. In this section
there never was but one opinion as to
the sale of the road to the Ray.Ludc-
ling party, and that opinion has been
shared by the highest judicial tribu.
nal in the land. The road mas been a
curse to Nicksburg instead of a bless
ing. The men who accidentally got
hold of it, fastened the road in the
Courts so that it couldnot be purchas-
ed, the work of construction prosecu-
ted, or funds secured to thoroughly
equip and operate the completed sew.
cnty-threc miles. Tom Scott made
an earnest but unavailihg effort to Sc.
cure it-Otfering those in possession
sixteen hundred thousand dollars in
bonds, and the Georgia stockholders
three hundred thousand dollars in
money. He was anxious to open the
line to Shreveport, Louisiana, and
send all the iron and supplies by that
direct route from the point for the
construction Of the Southern Pacific
line, but failed to effect any comprom
Use until the financial cricis of last fall
which sealed the fate of all ncgotia
tons. Now that the legal encum
brance is about to be removed, it i,
to DC hoped Col. Scott will come for
ward again, and open up to us the I'M
told wealth of Central and Eastern
Asia, in exchange for the products Of
the South. The Southern Pacific
Road will unite the large cotton pro.
ducing area with tier oftimber, grass
growing, grazing and mineral bearing
territories to westward, yet to assume
the proportions of intergal States
and the connection will work miracles
for both. Indeed it is upon this very
connection the prosperity of the South
depends, just as much as that of the
North depends on its intimate connec.
ton with the agricultural States of the
West and opening trade beyond the
Pacific. May the day not be far dis.
tant that will witness the iron union
between the Atlanta and Pacific, with
Nicksburg's long deferred hopes more
than realized.-Tichsburger.
Our readers will also find in the
above announcement, good news for
North Louisiana, and good news for
everybody else along the line of the
great Southern Pacific Route.

How The Early Tirsinians Got
Wives.

The history of the Common wealth
of Virginia, says the Richmond Wing,
commences with an auction sa,c-not,
however, in q store, but beneath the
green trees of jamestown, where
probably the most anxons and in
terested crowd of auction habitucs
ever known In the history of the
world were gathered. In a letter still
to be seen, dated London, August 81,
1921, and directed to a worthy colo
mist in that settlement, the writer be-
gins by saying:
1--WE send you shipment, one
widow and eleved maids, for wives
for the people of Virginia. There
has been especial care in the choice of
them, for there hath not one of them
been received but upon good recon-
menda'ions. In case they cannot be
married presently we desire that they
may be put with several householders
that cave wives until they can be
provided with husl ands."
But the writer of this epistle had
little reason to fear that any of the
''maidens faire" would be left over.
The arcires contain evidence to prove
that these first cargoes of young
ladies were sold at auction and sold
for one hundred and twenty-five
pounds of tobacco each, ard it was
ordered that this debt should have
preference over all others. The
solitary zone widow" went along with
the others for they could not be particu-
lar in those days The good minister
of the colony no doubt had a busy
time that day. He did not mention
any fees, nor did the bridegrooms
think of rendering any. All was joy
and gladness ; no storms ahead, no
inquisitive clerk to stand up and say,
"lIere's the license fork over that
81" Nothing of the sort From
some of these couples the first families
of Virginia are descended.

Live men for Dull Times.

There is bit of genuine philoso-

Something like a renewal of bust

the season of supineness and indiffer-
ence which characterized the reaction
from the panic, is over There have

who will make use OF the most unfa-
vorable circumstances, and out Of the

When times are good, the sea smooth
and the wind fair, it is easy sailing.

energy and courage are shown in ad.
verse times, when everything is dis.
couraging to the common crowd-fo,

Transmission Of Moral Ten.
denotes,

IL has been observed by teachers Of youth
that the children Of classical scholars exhibit
an unusual aptitude for learning the classics
Children of nlathematiclans possess unusual
richness in mathematical studies. Poetical
talent is hereditary. In the family of H.schy-
lus were eight poets. Parents of marked
mental ability usually have children of ability,
while people Of simple minds impart to their
offspring like quality of intelligence The
facts are so numerous and the evidence so
conclusive AS to prove the Inheritance of
mental aptiludes and capacities, and to entitle
r TO be admitted as wellesiabished law of
nature
The hereditary transmission of moral
powers, and immoral or vicious tendencies
has moi been so generally admitted as an
established ruth. II is often considered that
tire moral capabilities Of individuals are
equal that rlIe tendencies 10 rirtne or vice
are alike in the dispositions of all that every
one and all may attain to equal excellence of
moral character. No difference is recognized
by many in the original moral constitution of
the virtuous and vicious they might mutually
have exactly chaned places with each other :;
the vicious might hav. becon,e equally as
virtuous as The most moral equally as vicious
as the most degraded.
1t may be admitted that all my become
virtuous. Yet it is rot true that the most
viciously inclined can reach the same degree
of moral development as those morally
inclined by nature There is a difference in
the natural moral endowments of individuals
differences that are Just as marked as are the
differences in intelligence. II is just as inn
possible for the person born with weak moral
sensiblities TO attain to the highest position of
moral excellence, as it is for the simple-mind-
ed man TO become developed by education
into one of the most illustrious intellectual
men Of the age Genius in morals is Unborn
as well as is genius in intellect There is an
inherited difference III the moral capacities of
men, while all are possessed Of sufficient
moral capacity to enable them, under iavoring
Circumstances to become::virtuous citizens;
yet some of these, if exposed TO vicious sur
roundings imbbe vice through every pore as
a sponge takes in water. Wee is their natural
element, and if anything different is made
of them, they must be transplanted to a purer

A Washington special of the 18th
to the Couricr.J ournal thus gives an
insight into the doings of Grant and
the republican leaders:
The Presidents tongue has been
Embossed by the recent elections and
the obvious desire Of the republican
leaders to put him in leading strings.
He is becoming more FESTIVE, fractions
and seli-wilded than ever, AMI is thus
exciting !hc most serious apprehen-
sion on their part. Since the election
number of republican congressman
have had interviews with the Presi-
dent. and all came awav impressed
with the belief that he is a candidate
for It'd term. He regards the
late defeat as not being his funeral,
but that of the political leaders for
he bass all the contempt and distrust
of genuine West Pointer. When
these leaders say that those who bolt
ed the regular party ticket mustbe
dismissed the President pleads the
civil service rules. Everything goes
to show that the pressure inside of the
republican party for a dismissal Of
certain cabinet and officers will en-
counter a sullen refusal at the White
House. The republican leaders and
politicians are very bitter and indig-
nant at the refusal to turn ont this
Officcholders who bolted the regular
ticket, and the matter will evidently
not end at this stage.
