ANOTHER VICTIM.

MIR. Aristide Bienvenu, a well known
citizen and native of this city, has just
fallen victim to the now happily almost
obsolete custom of referring trivial dis
putes to the trial of arms For his un-
timely death the community that enacts
laws against the custom, and in turn de-
mands its practice by sentiment is re-
sponsible. Knowing as we do the views
of the various Mrs. Grundys who regulate
such affairs, we are bound to exonerate the
contestants in the late duel from their full
share of the blame. The laws commanded
them to keep the peace, but "public SEN
timent" decides that nothing but blood
can wash out an ''insult." If this were
true, which it is not, the very pertinent
question would arise: What will remove
the blood stains?
Judge Cooley and Mr.. Bienvenu were
both forced to the '.6eld of honor" by
false public sentiment. Their antagonists
and survivors followed from the same i'm
pulse. We regard the meeting as more
disastrous to all the principals involved
than a refusal to go at all would have
proved. Let those who approve such a
mode of reference for disputes now rally
and repair the damages as far as lies in
their power. This can not be done bv
flattering words to the survivors, nor by
calling the slain men back from the silent
shore to which they have been SO nm
timely sent. Every man who advises or
demands that another shall engage in the
duello is guilty to the extent of his in
fiuence of the consequences that come
from hostile meeting.

Olive Logan writes of the younger Du-
mas, that he is tall and handsome, with a
speaking blue eye, courtly manner, and a
smile that would ruin the heart of tObac-
cOnist's Injun. He is less like Frenchman
than Saxon, though it is well known that
his father was Of half African blood. He
is wealthy, and a lavish patron of the arts
His conversation is as brilliant as that of
one of the best characters of his plays. He
writes with steel pen with a huge ivory
holder, with his feet wrapped in tiger
skins.

of their constituents, white and colored, te
that of the bloated foreign bondholder.
There were Southern Democrats who sym.
pathized with the planter and wished to
relieve his dependence upon the factor
and country note shaver. That 'the
organ of the bondholders' here should,
with the swift-footed ANTELOPE" take
the part of the bondholder and note
shaver against the cotton and sugar plan
ter and laborer, is due to that consistency
which denounced our State funding bill
because it subjected the bonds of the State
to scrutiny, or because the State woul1
not recognize and pay the face of all out
standing obligations fraudulent and
tainted bonds among them.
We are told that the enlargement of cir
culation will postpone the resumption of
specie payment. On the contrary, we
maintain that it will hasten the arrival of
that golden era. To furnish the planters
OF the South, the grain-growers of the
West and the cattle raisers of Texas with
more currency, even at decline of one or
two per cent in the market rate of that
currency, is equivalent to national adj
vance to the industries of the country at
the discount stated. We even think the
bondholders, with a view to the maturity
of new obligations, will sanction an ad-
vance which will enable their faithful
debtors to make good their ultimate en-
gagements when due.
These advances to the planters and
farmers, SO much deprecated by the bond
holders and their organ, will increase the
products of the country. Is there any
any one who knows the state of the cotton
and sugar industry who denies this?
When We are blamed every day for the
withdrawal of capital-when we charge
daily that the Fusion warfare has caused
capital to be withdrawn or withheld from
Louisiana-is there any one who denies the
value of additional capital as stimulant
to agricultural production? We appre-
bend not. Well, then, if this loan of addi-
tional money, at one or two per cent, causes
temporary depreciation of the bond
holders grab, will not they derive more
advantage from the enhanced crops and
increased values created by this loan?
Will not the nation be better off, and bet |
ter able to resume, than if its industries
were depressed by the stingy and narrow
policy of denying the people the currency
necessary for these purposes. Just as a
armer will meet his obligations sooner
~ going in debt for guano, SO will a ma
ion establish its ability to meet its obi
cations by increasing the productive
'bility Of its people.
There is an additional allowance of
apital under this increased currency bill
o Louisiana to the amount of perhaps a
ouple OF millions of dollars. Have we
business man in the State that would
epel it? Yet so devoted to the interests
f the foreign bondholders- intensely
ostile to Republican principles-is the
aper that has been christened ''the bond
older's organ, that to protect the bond
olders and defame the nation, it de-
ounces this increase of currency as a
reach of national faith with the object of
npairing the interests Of the foreign

The Rev. j. +. w. Ware, in his lectures
on "The Conduct of Life" speaking of mar
riage said: "a young man in making his
choice should seek a woman lovable for all
things, and not a woman to be fgurehead
for an establishment. Young men often
make it an excuse for not marrying that
they can not bear the expense, and this
matter of extravaganza is responsible for
the modern institution of bachelor life, than
which there is nothing more prophetic of
death to manly virtues and rugged char
acter. A man had better make his will
and cut his throat at once than marry a
giddy, fashionable fool; but If he wants
woman to stand by him as sharer alike OF
his joys and troubles, then is the plea Of
expense groundless."

BUTLERISM.

The New York Times, leading Repub.
lican paper, has recently given its defini-
ton of Butlerism, and endeavored to make
1t applicable to member OF it's own party
IN high standing In raising the question
at the time that paper assumes to have
the welfare of the Republican party in
view, and says, in the outset, sit is a
| question which We commend to the care
full consideration of the representatives of
the Republican party at Washington
whether our party has not had enough of
that element in the conduct of its affairs,
popularity known as Butlerism."
The Times sanctifes its course in this
matter with an air Of temperance, virtue
and patriotism, intended to place its mo-
tives for attacking distinguished men,
Der of the Republican party above suspi-
cicn Of any selfish consideration; yet its
zeal to destroy the popularity of Butler
with the people and break down the
power Of his influence with the federal ad-
ministration will make it amenable, in
the minds of some, to the charge of n.y.
pocrisy. 1t requires but little more than
nothing to convince the Times ssthat the
country at large, and especially that por-
ton OF it most Immediately concerned, is
triie sick Of Mr.. Butler" and while it
asserts this, it is forced to admit that he is
generally regarded as the most influential
politician in Washington; and charges
that there is a strong disposition
at the national capital to award to him a
remarkable degree of influence and prom
inence in matters for which nature and
training have not conspicuously fitted him.
In this assertion the Times takes issue
with the constituents of Mr.. Butler, who
honored him with their votes and made
him member of the national Congress.
And as he comes from portion of the
country at large most renowned for intel
igence, and good training in all that ap-
pertains to superior civilization in this |
country, their judgment of him will not
be as readily overturned as his enemies
might hope. The Times has found it
much easier to say than prove that Mr..
Butler either rejects the principles of
bis party, violates its pledges, breeds fac
ton and division in its ranks, maligns its
public men without cause, loads it
with detestable measures, or subordi-
mates all its interests to an insane
This, according to paper
hat wishes to be regarded as leading
organ of the Republican party, is the sum
md substance Of ''Butlerism," emanating
rom General Butler. But as this .defni-
ion has recently been met, if not set
side, by another coming from much
'etter authority, We propose to give it, in
ustice to its distinguished author. During
General Buffers recent visit to Boston be
vas interviewed by reporter of the Bos-
on Globe. The following is an extract
rom the reported interview: II
