The Same Old Tune.

From the New Orleans Repablican
of the 5th, we copy the following por.
ton of an editorial under the heading
of "The State Library" and do it to
again convince our good people Of Ra-
pides that on all and every occasion,
with or without semblance of cause,
the shafts, malignant and poisoned, of
the Official Journal are always darted
at us, and. which is convincing proof
that Radica]sm is ever g|"ainS over
our misfortupes and defaming orr hon
ored name and past record. The afti-
Gle which wearpend is Sufficient proof
to Show ihe infamous and accul sed mo-
tives Of The m,rty in power. The Edi
tor coHld not pay a lEihuto l." a fair
wonrn,- Which the Democrat with
kuig''tly gallautry endorses, on the oc-
rasion OF her appointments to an Office,
which her worth ant! intelligence must
adorn, tu it needs TIC the better for
his nnli:napt and Gendisl, aims, he
must hA ena-like desecraie tie grave OF
the dead. Poor ami good Henry Bar
low, who had uot an enemy in Rapides
but himself, must have turned over a
hund, ed lines in his grave, when this
foul calumny was uttered against a
people who never harmed him. "TIle
Ku-Klux of Alexandria doomed him
to DEATH" says the defamer, and to
this the lie will be Kissed in'o the cars
of the monster by the widow of the Ia
mented Judge:
The appointment of Mrs. Barlow, a
lady of worth and intelligence, as as
sistant State librarian, not only reflects
credit upon the fine discriminating pow
ers of Mr.. Deslonde, our unpretentious
Secretary of State, bnt does honor to his
head and heart. Mrs. Barlow Is the
widow of Judge Barlow, a native of
Louisiana, who, in 1868, lost bis life in
Alexandria in defending Republican
principles. Always devoted to the
cause of the Union he finally became a
Republican, and for exercising the
right of freeman the Ku-Klux Democ-
rary of Alexandria doomed him to
death, little caring what became ofthe
widow and orphan left to mourn his
loss. Since the death of her husband
Mrs. Barlow has maintained herself and
daugitcr,an interesting little girl about
eleven years old, principally by teach
ing school. She visited Washington
last winter year ago, and through her
acquaintance with General Sherman
and other distingui he'd men living
