LABOR /; AN ODE.

Toll swings the AK and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom,
Rich harvests smile behind the plow,
And cities cluster round the loom.
Where towering dones and tapering spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stout labor lights its beacon fres,
And plumes with smoke the forge and

From our latest papers we CLEAR

that PROSTATE Louisiana is to be kept

show the latest situation:
The Times calls the military inva-

The result, however humiliating to
the State, is the necessary sequence
predicted by the Times, of the insane
policy of violence inaugurated in this
and other Southern States.

"Troops," we find the following:

who preferred to yield their convictions
rather than face the insolent denuncia-
'ions of demagogues, are realized SOON
or than most people expected.
1t is idle to pretend that the situa-
ton does not justify this action so far
as the national authorities are concern
ed. The Times charged that many of
the White Leaguers intended violence
from the start, and that such was the
Logical and necessary result of the
whole crazy business.
This last sentence is true. The
Times always has charged that the
White Leaguers intended Violence
1t has never shown the charge to be
true, but that matters very little;
the Times made the charge, and the
loSlcal anu necessary result IS that it
has been believed and acted on by
our enemies.

M& Inc following is from Black
burns Homer Had, one of the simon
pure radical papers of the State:
The greatest curse that has ever
befallen the Republican party OF
this State, has been the weak, pusil-
luminous and thieving journals that
have sprung up under the printing
Law''-journals claiming to be repub-
lican in principle, but having nc
principle and no brains-no heart
and no soul-an incubus to the party
to which they profess allegiance and
a reproach to all honor and to all
manhood. Of such type Of infamous
journalism, we must reckon, first on
the disgraceful and disgraced list,
the Shreveport Telegram, Coushatta
Times, and Madison Parish Vindica-
tor-each and every one Of which is
conducted in a most contemptible
and dishonorable manner. And if
the Republican party deliberately
continues long to feed and foster such
weak and disreputable and totally
unprincipled journals, it cannot long

'You say you have had great

"Why, boss, I was pastry cook on
the river boats for ever so long"
And he retired without the appoint
ment. To this day he don't quite
know what made all the people in
the office laugh so much, nor why
his commission never arrived. He
has stated confdentially to friends
that he believes "that niger, John

harboring schemes which have for
their object the erection of sundry
Mansard roofs on the aforesaid John

political influence should not be al
lowed to prejudice the claims of tai

The Savior and His Carpenter Shop.

Much has been said in America
about Mr.. Holman Hunts "miracu-
lous" picture of the "Shadow of
DEATH" and it has been praised as a
revelation of new capacities in art.
saw solemn person on the street witt,
an advertisement on his back telling
where the picture was to be seen, and
shilling passed ME into the solemn
show. A more absurd picture never
was painted. The particular preten-
sion of this picture is its literalness,
out the litter of shavings on the floor
of the Savior's carpenter shop seems to
account fully and exclusively for that.
The "Shadow of Death" could not fall
across the light of the window as rep
resented. Such jewel box as Mary.
the mother, is looking into was never
seen in carpenter shop. Such silken
drapery as is trailed among the shay
1ngs was always impossible in an asso.
citation like that, and the Young Car
penter, the Christ of the piece, is the
funniest fellow I have ever seen in q
picture. His only garment is what the
Indians call breech- clout. It has
the advantage of being fine article of
figured silk, and though the Savior has
been tOiling with plane and saw, and
is in the act of throwing up his hands
with a sense of relief, having accom-
plished his days work and earned his
bread in the sweat of his face, there is
no trace of possible perspiration. Mr..
Hunts Savior has finely developed
jewish nose, which is all we'll, no
doubt; but his hair seems shade too
yellow, and his eyes a degree too blue
for one of the young men Of tile place
and period; and we have to account

A MONSTER MEETING.-An i'm

A MONSTER CAN i'm
mense and grand ratification meeting
has been held in New Orleans. The
Plcayune has this to say about it:
Last nights mass meeting of citizens
was of different character from almost
any of our former meetings. There
were fewer cheers, less noise, less
threats, yet it required but few Sec
onds to see that the feelings and senti-
ments of the citizens were more aroused
than even during the tumultuous as
semblies and eeches of 70. 1t
seemed to be the general impression
that noise, shouting, and brasadocia
would distract from rather than add to
the dignity and solemnity of the occa-
sion.
AS to numbers there can be little
doubt that the meeting was the largest
ever held in New Orleans. The
streets, the neutral ground, the very
cars were crowded, and many sought
standing room in the mud of the gut
tiers, determined to drink in every word
said. At about Z o'clock there were
six thousand. This had increased by
y O'Clock to nine or ten thousand per-
sons, a representative for every white
family and home in the State.

Horace Greeley Said to Have Died a
Catholic,

1t was well understood by the mos
Intimate friends Of Horace Creole,
that he had strong predictions to
wards the Catholic religion.
For some time before his death, il
his lucid intervals, he spoke abou
religion to Catholic friend who wa!
constantly in attendance upon him
Mr.. L finding Mr.. Greeley sink
ing fast, asked him would he wish tt
have a minister attend him. He re
piled, ''Well, yes, MI. L; I shoulc
like to die Catholic"
"Shall 1 bring you a priest?" ask.
ed the other,
eyes, do, L, bring me priest;
l always liked the Catholics and their
religion
L quietly went out and called
on the Rev. Father F., but, unfor-
tunately, did not find him at home.
He hurried back, leaving 8 note ex-
planatory Of his mission for the
priest.
On his return he found Mr.. Gree
ley sinking fast, but he took L-bv
the hand and whispered to him, s'Is
he coming?"
"He is not at home-but do you
want to die Catholic?"
IL do" whispered Mr.. Greeley.
"Then, sir, you know that in case
of necessity lay baptism is good; so
if you believe in the doctrines and
teaching of the Catholic Church, I'll
baptlze you. Have you ever been
baptized?"
mo, l., baptize me; I want to
die Catholic" replied Mr.. Greeley

MIR. l. took pitcher, and pour
ing water three times on his head,
to him private baptism.
Mr.. Greeley squeezed LIS hand
and soon relapsed into fit of insen-
from which he never recov
cred. Mr.. L then hurried to the
priests house and found the Rev.
gentleman on his road to Mr.. Gree
ey. He told him what he had done,
md that Nh. Greeley became insen-
'ible since.
''You have done right" said the
PRIEST, "and as he is insensible there
s no use in me creating any noise by
'oing up there now; so if he RECEIVERS
Consciousness again, let me know it
It once.''
He promised to do so, but Mr..
ireeley never recovered his senses

rines, he died in the faith of the

lana. 1t bores him to be compelled
to hear Of these poor insects who
rebel against determination. Their
STUPID griefs disturb his god-like
languor; the din of their wretehed
struggle shakes the fine air in which
he dwells. And so the fiat has gone
forth. The Hon growls, and with
the echo Of that growl will come the
troops and squadrons of the guard.
There is to be no more of this squalid
tumult, the rabble is to move on. and
the sans culottes must take their hun
ger and their nahedness elsewhere.
Attorney General Wilkins shall roll
smoothly in his landaulet, and on the
smoke wreaths Of the Presidents post
praudial Eaganzia there shall float
none but the gracious and idylic fe-
ures appertaining to his greatness.
Louisiana's trumpery woes have
made her impudent. She wakes con-
tumacious, and her unseemly clamor
has invaded the sublime chambers in
which the nations lords repose
Wherefore the army is coming. A
few whimpering -baggers have
fled the neighborhood they despoil-
ed; few staggering ruffians have
shrieked with terror at til e worm
their cruelty goaded into turn
ing; half a dozen conspirators and
meters of bloodshed have met
rude sentence from t h cir victims.
And so the army is coming to stop
all this disreputable vulgarity. 1t is
coming under the auspices of Attor
ney General Williams, too. Presi-
dent Grant cannot be ANNOYED with
such absurd frivolities. He is rest
ing from his labors at Long Branch.
Serving the people has fatigued him,
and Attorney General Williams must
see to dispensing the rabble while he
recruits his energies for fresh exer-
tons in the peoples behalf:
How far this consummation has
been fastened by the lies, and calum-
MES, and ISLANDERS which have radia-
ted from New Orleans through the s
medium of an unfriendly press, it t
would be difficult to estimate. That i,
t has been aided, if not wholly real 4
zed by such means, is beyond the
shadow of a doubt. The false wit y
less against the White League, the S
alarms of race conflict and negro ex- c
elimination the charges of threat, and T.
reason, and vlolence-these, not the 8
ctual facts, have wrought this end. 8

a South Carolina Radical paper gives
voice to the following shrek, which
shows that he begins to appreciate
the situation:
We are crossing the ledge, with a
yawning precipice on either side. Ten
thousand feet below are the sharpene]
rocks, and destruction, crouching like a
hyena, waiting for the deed. Looking
back a moment, missing single step,
the tremor of a nerve, the failing of a
muscle, the uncertain culver OF an eye,
and the Republican party is dashed to
pieces forever, while the blackness of
darkness shall be rent with the wild
yell of til e Democratic party, as it
springs forward to the helm to take
charge of the rights and liberties of the
people of South Carolina.

ground tn At under the constitution of Wis
cousin, the charters of all corr orations in the
State may be Gathered or repealed at an,
time after their passage. The court held
that tile corporations knew that all THEN
rights and franchises were subject to ths
consi nutional provision when they accepted
IherA, and it was under this special provis-
ion that they were accepted. The owners
of stock and the securities took the same
subject to this condition, and the law was
merely an "alteraiion" of the charter ii
