GOVERNOR KELLOGG's TRIP NORTH.

Governor Kellogg left the city last eve
ming for brief visit North to look after
the interests Of the State in connection
with the leyees, the Fort St. Philip canal
and other important matters. It is un-
derstood he will also go to New York with
view of promoting those railroad enter
prises of which the State has so long stood
in need. The Governor does not expect
to be away more than ten or twelve days
at the furthest During his brief absence
matters will remain in stat.s quo at the
State House. Lieutenant Governor An
tome is across the lake with his family and
enjoying well earned term of relaxation,
and does not feel that the brief absence
contemplated by Governor Kellogg justi-
fies any formal ass uinption Of the reins of
government Should any unforeseen
emergency arise, however, both Lieute-
nant Governor Antoine and Governor
Kellogg will be found promptly at their
posts of duty

cent having voted against the improve
ment, or not voting on the question.
8. That the Southern Atlantic States
are competitors for the Mississippi valley
trade, the State of Virginia having cast a
solid vote, the State Of Georgia majority
of its votes. 1t is, as we have told our
political antagonists, the former league OF
interest among the Southern States has
been broken by a new combination of in
terests formed on commercial relations
with the West.
4. The Eastern States of Maine, Massa-
chusetts, New York and Pennsylvania and
Vermont cast just about half the vote
against the canal bill. If we attribute
to Cincinnati the ten votes of Ohio absent
and not voting, and to the press of st.
Louis the Missouri vote lost on the ques-
ton, we shall have nearly accounted for
the strength Of our commercial oppo-
nents, upon a proposition which should,
in view of its indisputable nationality,
have been without opposition. We have
made these statements with two objects:
l. To prove that the antediluvian idea of
dividing parties into North and South,
can only prevent the progress of the
Southern States, and Of Louisiana, es-
pecially. 2. That the position of New
Orleans, as the entrepot of tropical ex-
changes, and the regulator of railroad
freights, is stronger than that of any sim
gle city in the Union. This vote demon
strates and decides her commercial and
political alliance. She is the great port
Of entry for the tropical products, as she
is to be the great point of distribution
for large foreign imports, not only into
he valley, but among the States and
cities of the continent, and the islands
which lie south of her.

SUFFRAGE IN VIRGINIA IN 1929.

In the Virginia convention of 1929,
called to revise the constitution of the
Old Dominion, John Randolph, the leader
of the Democracy of his day, proclaimed,
in opposition to the effort then being
made in that convention to extend the
right of suffrage, that before he would
concede to the poor people the right to
tax his negroes he would give them a
fight. Fierce was the strife in that body
against the incroachments about to be
made upon the venerable laws which ex-
cluded all but freeholders from the ballot.
And when at last the breach was made,
and movement made in the direction Of
general suffrage, one loud and long
lamentation went up from the F. F. vs..
far and near. All was lost! Liberty gone!
Was ever such disgrace known? Seine
haulers, boatmen, every kind of mean
white people voting! Existence under
such circumstances was insuppoftable.
Some were willing to close out and 60 to
Brazil, and some to Honduras. Earth
quakes and every dire calamity possible
were expected to devastate the old and
respectable colony Of the Virgin Queen.
But time rolled on, and nothing strange
or harmful happened. The Blue Ridge
stood as firm as ever, the beautiful and
classic James continued to flow gracefully
toward the Atlantic, and the impetuous
Kanahwa to dash on to the Ohio. The
peaks of Otter still reared their heads far
up in the clouds as grandly as ever, and
tobacco grew as we'll as before the conven-
ton met, and the wonderful properties of
Virglnia's medicinal springs were retained
in their orr ginal efficacy. Mr.. Randolph
had no call to fight the poor people. The
ship of State sailed safely on for thirty
years after the "white trash" began to
vote, and until her pilots, steering by the
resolutions of '9S, split on the rock of Sc
cession.
The pages of history present no fact
more striking than the signal failure of
all the predictions of evil to come from
the extension to men of every class and
condition the right inherent in their ma
ture to choose their own rulers. Of what |
value now are the oracular dicta of the |
greater political prophets, like Alison
Ind De Tocqueville, who made American
politics a specially? The answer is,
nothing. They were fallacies. Their |
authors were without knowledge of the |
of hu man destiny. To them it |
lever occurred that there exists in the |
human soul, latent though it may some
ines seem, principle ever restless and
to reach higher hopes and to
stabl1sh holder theories. It is the germ
n man of Immortality. Its expansion is
Intended by his Creator to advance and
improve his condition in this life, and to
it and prepare him for the lite to come.

When the public in general come to know
that Mr.. Daniel Gorren, corner of Canal

Therefore it will be wise for such of our
readers as wish shirts to 60 there at once
and supply themselves.

One of the incest and contest little estab-

Louis Mayer. 1t is situated on the left side
of the railroad, on the wharf, about half
way out, and although unpretending in
appearance, we will venture to say that as
good dinner can be had there as at any
place at the Lake. Louis is an artist in the
kitchen, and his contributions" "bouille
abess," ''gratuis," etc, are not to be sur
passed, while his charges are 70 surprising
ly moderate that one can hardly believe
such meals could be furnished SO cheap.

An exchange says: Rhode Isla nd is said
to be the only State in the Union in which
the custom is preserved OF having the high
sheriff to cry the election of the Governor
from the balcony of the State House on in
auguration day" AS Rhode Island is the
only State in the Union where the voice of
sheriff could be heard throughout its en-
tire limits, it is not strange that the crying
custom should be continued there only.

THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.

THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
When the American people admitted
the negroes to the rights of citizenship,
that of keeping and bearing arms was in
Guided. This is right which the consti-
tuition says shall not be infringed. But
from the scare which has recently been
created by the purchase of firearms by
some of the colored people when about to
return to the country, it may be fairly in
ferred that the conservative whites of this
State expect to nonopolize all the rights
conferred by this section. There is no
more terror in the fact that negro has
armed himself in self-defense than there
is in the fact that white man has done
so for the same reason, or for purposes of
aggression perhaps. But it is en- indica-
ton of something wrong in the social or
political system. If there is any signi-
fcancy in the circumstance at all, it is
that the negroes, deeming the protection
of the law, as administered by Louisiana
juries, insufficient for the purpose, have
resolved to invest part of their earnings
in powder and shot. They have as clear
a right to do this as the white man, and
it is hardly possible that they will be less
discreet in the use of arms. If there is
no better way to protect the lives of de-
fenseless citizens than resort to the
means afforded by nature and art, we may
expect them to be adopted. We have
little fear, however, that these arms will
ever be required. Their possessors are
not very likely to be annoyed so long as
it is known they are prepared. We rarely
hear of unprovoked assaults upon those
who are known to be ready.
We do not know how far this arming
process has extended it may be confined
to very few localities or it may be gen.
eral. So long as we concede to one party
the privilege of keeping arms, with
nearly perfect certainty that they will be
used, we can not deny to those menaced
by the practice the same liberty. Per-
haps the peacemakers with the percussion
locks are the most effectual that can be
employed Severe remedies are some
times the most eficacious. And if the
negroes choose to arm themselves We
know of no way to prevent it short of
general disarming of their sworn enemies.
We believe it is customary among the ma
tons of Europe to insist upon mutual
laying down Of arms, since if one side
were to throw away their guns while the
others retained theirs, there would be an
obvious advantage and great tempta-
ton to improve it. The theory of the
defense in the Grant parish trial has been
that sort Of war existed at the time Of
the massacre. The jury doubtless felt
the influence Of the appeal to some ex-
tent, and the colored people see no other
recourse for safety than a little timely
preparation for the next campaign. We
hope there will be no occasion to use
these guns, but that is question which
the superior race must decide for
themselves. The negroes will never make
an attack, and their guns will be harm
less in their hands unless the owners are
put in peril.
