Shotguns and Bank Balances.
[Fromthe New on deans Republican,

from the New Orleans Republican,
The mind of the Northern or European
may fail to note thdclOse connection be,
tween the clauses Of the above caption
save i'll the way of 7 stand and deliver
However, those WHO have capital in,
vested in the Southern States and those
allied to peace ana order, who dwell
therein, are perfectly and painfully
cOgnizant of the alStag0nistic relations
of the above two fQrces.
Capital, every onGknows is timid eau
ton is the touchstope of success for the
capitalist.
The expose of tho White League, late
ly published in the Republican, demon
strates the fact thaE the shotgun party
essays to rule. Capital has shrunk
abaShcd, or vanished utterly. twill nc
doubt be denied by those who are lea
gued with the shotgun legion that the
two clauses of the proposition are cor
relative, and shat the latter is swayed
by the former. Nd one, however, will
gainsay the facts az now set forth.
-Four days ago thu Teutonia National
Bank of this city forfeited it's charter on
%accOuntO of yiolatiOrsOf the national bank
ing law. The president has been retired,
and day before yesterday the bank stop
ped receiving deposits. Application has
been made for a voluntary liquidation,
but appearances Indicate that a govern
ment agent will bGput in charge.
Another one of Oslr national banks has
beenhardhit by thc suspension of large
Texas firm.
A prominent State bank is anxioue1y
regarded, and it is: limited that its case
will form a staple for action at the next
session of the Legislature.
Messrs. Chris. Mehle & Co, engaged
heavily in the cattle trade, are involved
by the suspension IF the house of Allen,
Poole & Co., of Galveston. The inter
est of the first named with the latter firm
is estimated at $25D,000. The house of
Allen, Poole Il CO$have resumed Oh an
extension of one, two and three years. 1t
is sincerely hoped shat the New Orleans
firm will be in a cotditiOn tOresume next
week.
Yesterday was 0tle of the dullest in f.
nancial matters ever known here. Bank
stocks were regarded with holy hor-
ron
So much for Immediate effects and
obstinate facts. II the causes of this fl
nancial crisis are denied, the question
arises, then, whaE is the reason of
this?
Should the WhiEe League planter, to
whom a merchant has advanced some
thousands of dollars, unite himself with
a shotgun band ard kill.his laborers or
drive them off for mot voting his way /?
How is the merchant to be paid? Won't
the merchantth inN of this before he MAX
es any advances, sand won't the banker
ponder the problem before he discounts
the merchants paper? Recent events
prove that they h$vn't thought of the
matter in this light heretofore. But the
long faces on Change yesterday showed
that all hope in sliotguns was gone and
faith in peace and order and love of
prosperity restored.

A Daniel ConIpe to Judgment
From the Thsbodaux Sentinel.

There are sometpeople in this Parish,
perhaps, who have never heard that we
have a Parish Judge yclept Colin, who
presides over tho Parish Court with
great dignity, rendering. justice to all
evil doors in a manner quite satisfactory
ly to them. In THE T%hibodaux ward also
there is a learned and acute constable
who signs himself, Van Horn,
Now, not long since Van Horn was
sent some six or sight miles down the
Bayou to arrest two men, which he did,
like q man, and then, like a constable,
proceeded forthwith to borrow a dollar
from II of the %5prisoners. With this
dollar Van Horn, stopped alta store, and,
bought a lunch. Constables, like ordin-
airy men will get. hungry. This lunch
was composed principally, of a bottle
of Whiskey. M$ny men believe that
nothing more is required to make an
excellent lunch. wan Horn then went
to get his horse, ltitched to a fence, but
Van Horn was tired.
Official duties aye very fatiguing in hot
weather, Van Holm sat down and took
a q a very c~Oinmendable thing Just
after a heavy lunfl1. Some of the best
people in LafourGhe do the same thing.
The prisoners, not having lunched as
heartily as thes Constable, we're not
sleepy, so they took Vanhorn's horse
and pistol, to prevent them from being
stolen, and brought them to Thibodaux,
handed them over right side up with
care, to Justice E.OriO and surrendered
themselves to that officer, +, 4srs .
Now, by some: strange hallueinatiOn
O mind, the District Attorney worked
himself into the idea that anhOrn was
guilty OF a misdSmeanor againt the dig
nifty and peace sefs the great State of
Louisiana, and hsld that officer brought
before Judge COsin's Court and after an
eloquent forensic. effort asked the dis
tinguished judge to suspend Vanhorn
from Office, but tSat able Judicial officer
soon informed, Gle Attorney that Van
horn had committed no misdemeanor and
officer. sr. =. i 49,. ,#n II .h A.
And we think tSne Judge deserves cred
it. Didn't Yanhbrn's prisnersnppearb be-
fore Justice LoriS? What more was wan
ted ?, Is a man to be deprived of office be-,
cause hegets drunk /? Were that the case
one half of tho uistilleries in the land
would be ruineV, a consumation that
would be rliinOus to civilization. If any
body can produce a luminous
Judge, just bring him along, let every
body see him. - &EsF aT gsgBkE

Opportunities



We give it up. There was a chance
that the next House Of Representatives
would not be Radical. That chance is
gone. The outbreaks in Kentucky and
the massacre in Tennessee settle that
much. No people, no party, could stand
under such a load as the people of the
South and the Democratic party Of the
North are forced to carry. Call it what
you will-the fruit of reconstruction, the
fault of the party in power, the inevita-
bic conflict of races, preClpitated by a
bad theory of government, executed in
a vicious practice-the one effect of the
whole mess of violence is a continuance
and reinforcement of the Old pretext
by which the country has been carried
along the same baleful, partisan rut ever
since the
There is no use writing, talking, speak
ing, argufying contradicting, proving,
as long as the bloody sum-tOtal, record
ed within the last fortnight, goes out to
the world nnchallenged by adequate
surpasses belief; and though the Gov
.ernor of Tennessee has done his full
duty, the gallOWs can alone render atone
ment commensurate with the public ex-
pectation. 1t is hardly likely that any
body is going to be hung, The result
will be renewed legislation, additional
acknowledgements perhaps, ultimately,
martial law. !" A"T "'o'5
The fools are not all dead yet. This
third term discussion has led many of
them to fancy that Grant is about to
tumble into the arms of the South. He
is the more likely to be an ultra, mar
tial-law candidate for reelection, back
ed by fancied military necessities, sup
ported by the machine-wOrk Of power,
and carried upon the passions of Radi-
calism. There was a show for the de-
feat of the civil rights bill, or it's veto.
That is gone, like the control of the next
House, and the prospect is black with
the ruin of Conservative hopes.
It is we'll to be plain. As surely as the
South begins to get on it's feet do it's
madmen proceed to kick the fat in the
fire. The Radicals only want p~retexts.
The South supplies them. A wal, or the
appearance of war, of races seems newt
able; and that is itself a third term un-
der proseriptive auspices. That is the
road to the overthrow of republican
government, but chiefly at the expense
of the South.

Gov. Kellogg has appointed Capt.
VIM. Wright State Registrar of Voters,
in place of Mr.. Thos. Lynne, whose
fharrgn ee tbe d Wfie mo- Of af fRa o 3f MS w. W.
believe this appointment will give gem
eral satisfaction in all quarters. Capt,
Wright is well and widely known here,
having been in 1879 Examiner and APP
praiser of Customs, and since that time
Z. S. Shipping Commissioner for the
port. In those capacities, as well as in
his individual relations as a. man, he
has made hosts Of friends and won for
himself the respect and good will of all
with whom he has come in contact.
There will be very little, if any, obiec-

he may be depended ON to do whatever
is just and fair and proper in the adj
ministration of his new o~ffice.-[Pica-
