UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA.
COMMENCEMENT DAY.

The many friends of those gent lemen who
were to graduate yesterday assembled at
Grunewald Hall to witness the comforting OF
degrees. The hall was filed to overlooking
with the elite of the city, and the young
gentlemen have reason 20 be proud of their
audience. The exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. t. J. Finn, when Vogel's
band played some select airs.
Randell Hunt, LID President of the Uni
versity, in a very forcibly and feeling adj
dress, called the graduates. attention to the
duties before them in the practice of the law
He advised the careful perusal of ancient
authors and a studious devotion to their
profession. In his clear and rich voice he
then conferred the degree of Bachelor of Laws
on those who had successfully passed the
examination. Thomas J. Semmes then read
an address, which for perspicuity and
strength was model. Referring to the adj
vance Of materialistic ideas, he charged the
class not to be led from the immutaple prin-
ciples of Christianity by specious argument
The salutatory followed by Mr.. Gabriel
Santlnl. The production was carefully
written and evinced much future promise
for this young gentleman. At the close of
Mr. Santini's address, Vail" J. Rozier, L. B.,
delivered on the part of the alumni an
elaborate address. Filled as it was with
evidences of deep thought and ornamented
with just enough poetic imagery. Mr.. Ro-
tiers address merited the plaudits it re-
ceived.
After the music had ceased, John Clegy,
LII. B., delivered the valcdictory on behalf
of the class. There is much sameness in
the average valedictory, but Mr.. Clegy sue
ceeded in escaping the grooves SO often
travelled, and pleased his hearers by novelty
of thought and aptness of expression.
Then followed the benediction. and the
ly-fiedged attorneys went from the hall
with happy faces.

General Longstreet tells the whole story
about the difficulties in the South, in the
following brief but comprehensive and
sensible paragraph. If the South woult
but listen to his advice instead of organ
izing White Leagues and buying arm:
and ammunition, they would do wise
thing for themselves. General Longstreet
says:
II suppose am pretty cordially hated by
certain proscriptive class of Southerners,
but that cannot be helped. Men can't all
; mink alike, and the trouble with the South
ern people always has been that they won't
tolerate ANY difference of opinion. If God
Almighty had intended all men to think jus,
alike, he might as well have made but one
! nan. have decided and acted as though,
duty required, and other men are at liberty to
do the same. My opinion is that the only
true solution for Southern troubles is fer the
people to accept cordially and in good faitl
oil the results of the war, including the re.
construction measures, the acts of Congress,
negro suffrage, &C., and live up to them like
men. If they would do this, and encourage
Northern immigration, and treat all men fair
", whites and blacks, the troubles would soon
be over, and in less than Ave years the South
would be in the enjoyment of greater pros
perity than ever before"

The Cleveland democracy celebrated
their victory the other evening. Among
the speakers who addressed the meeting
was Mr.. Payne, the newly elected mem
Der of Congress. and the man whose elec
tion has been heralded as hard money
victory. 1t is little remarkable, how
ever, that in his speech Mr.. Payne says
never a word about currency, although
he is represented as having fought terrif
ically against initiation. This omission
only confirms the information which we
have that those who believe Payne was
chosen as a hard money man labor under
a grave mistake.

THE DEMOCRACY AND PROHIBI-
TION.

The New York Times having stated
that the gain made by the democracy in
Ohio is due in considerable measure to
the stand taken by the republicans OF that
State in favor of temperance legislation,
the World quotes from the. columns OF the
Times the statement made in substance as
above. and in an editorial under the head
ing, ..No Sumptuary Laws" proceeds to
explain the position of the democratic par
q. ty in regard 10 temperance as follows:
The Germans of the United States belong
in the Democratic party for two reasons. J..
They are not aquarians 2. They are not
willing to misuse the mere justice-maintain-
ing powers Of government to compel anybody
to be an aquarian The papa theory of gov
ernment-paternalism as odious to them
as Il is to ali instructed and true Americans.
But it 10 the central doctrine of the Democ'
racy that men shall be at liberty to do what
they please 90 long as they abridge no other
mans like liberty, and that the one chief
function of government in all its degrees mu-
nicipal, state and federal, is to maintain that
justice which is the best safeguard of the lib
erty Of all. Real temperance in meat and
drink, in speech, in expense, in behavior, is
what every enlightened Democrat would wish
to practise and to increase among his fellow
men, but not by government machinery. That
10 = perversion of its functions and an en-
croachment upon that individual self-govern-
ment which is the best hope for the progress
and the welfare of human societies. No doubt
at all, the temperance plank in the Republi
can platform of Ohio sent many Germans out
Of that party into the Democratic party. But
twas as natural process as that which takes
place at the two poles of battery submerged
in chemical mixture. Democratic people
gathered at this pole; Republican at that
pole. The same process is going on in New
York.
Free men uniform excise law; no sump.
tuary laws,-the Democratic doctrine of the
Syracuse platform, of which Mr.. Dorsheimer,
~ Of German descent, is an especially fit rep
resentative, here too is dividing the sheep
from the costs.
Such is the position of the democratic
party upon the subject of temperance, as
explained by the leading exponent of the
doctrines of that party. 1t will be well
for temperance men who complain that
the republican party fails to enforce pro-
hibition to the fullest extent, TO paste the
above exposition of democracy in their
hats, and then consider whether the tenn
perance cause would not be utterly ship
wrecked if entrusted to legislators who
would have rum sold as freely as meat or
bread.

General Sheridan, when the GOLD discoveries
In the Black Hills were first reported, warne,l

party of seven persons who started to find
