The aversion to lying IS often hid
den ambition to render our words credi-
BILE and weighty, and to attach areligious
aspect to Our conversation.
1T is oftener by the estimation OF our
own feelings that We exaggerate the good
qualities of others than by their merit,
and when we praise them we wish to at
tract their praise.
The love of justice is simply IN the
majority of men the fear of suffering i'll
justice.
There is no praise we have not law
ished on prudence and yet she cannot
assure to us the most trifing event.

even ny last. His Numerous ac-
quaintances are requested 10 bcwail with
him. In the political iervor Of its COM
pouent parts produced b. spread eagle
specchcs and perhaps bad whiskey, some
bcnighted individual, fearless o! the ma
jcsty of the law in the person OF the
honored judge, deliberately scquestered
his bran new hat. As oar friend is SO
good looking, We are thankful his head
was not taken with it.

n@. Sixty more emigrants arrived
from New York on the 18th, in Charles
ton and were taken charge Of by the Ger
man society, and carried to the boarding
house at the corner Of Line and klng
streets, where they were given hearty
meal; they were all robust looking fellows
and full of energy and activity. They
went to Columbia. from which point they
will be distributed.
This is precisely what the south needs;
large immigration of just such sturdy
industrious men. Our barren planta'
tons then, will yield bountitul crops and
our farms blossom as the rose.

na- Great complaint is being made
against those who clean their drum fish on
the Free landing. They throw the en-
trails where the sun beams on it and give
that section very offensive odor, while
in other instances fish is kept hung up in
the sun for whole day with view OF
selling on the landing instead of taking
it to the market. Now we hope the
Marshal will keep an eye to business aud
have this nuisance stopped as well as
prohibit the selling of fish on the dock
when the market is the proper place.

THE FLOOD.
Whole Districts Inundated.
Ten Thousand People on the Verge o
Starvation.
GOV. Kellogg Appeals for Aid.


New ORLEANS, April 20.-Oflicial tele-
grams received to-day state that the whole
country from Monroe 10 the mouth Of Red
River is under water and that 10000 people
in that district will soon be on the verge of
starvation. Large numbers Of negroes from
the oyerfloWed districts are llocling to this
city. Gov. kellogg has issued a prOclanna-
tiOn to officials aud citizens of the over
flowed district, assuring them that the
State government has done and is doing all
that resources will allow TO alleviate
the suiferings of those who have
been reduced to destitution by disastrous
crevasses and foods consequent upon recent
heavy rains. He states that application
has been made to the general government
for aid. which he has reason TO believe will
be promptly responded 10; that the Mayor
of New Orleans, President Of the Chamber
of Commerce, and a committee of distin
guiShed citizens, are doing all that can be
done TO send immediate assistance to those
most in need, and thai appeals have been
made to the great cities of the North, East
ane West, which will, doubtless, in due
time bring generous responses. He states
that food. clothing, and money viii be for
warIed without delay. lie advises against
sending the distressed population 10 this
citv. already oEercroWded with unemployed
pleople: recommends The Organization of
Parish committees for the distribution of
supplies, and that labo-ers Of inundated dis
tricts be assisted in making their way TO
Parishes which are not under water, and
where their services are still needed. -
In conclusion, the Governor says: 1t
NAV be that even out of this dire calamity
some GOOD may come, through the atten-
tion Of the nation at large being so pain
fully concentrated upon questions of max
ing the building and maintenance Of leyees

LOUISVILLE.
A Procession of 10th Amend
mentS.
The Streets Turned into a Dom
nybrOOk Fair.
A Score of white Men. Women and
Children stoned

LOUISVILLE, April 20.-To-day was ap-
pointed by the negroes Of this city to cele-
brate the anniversary of the 18th amend
ment. Some difficulty arose as to tine ar
rangementS, and the better portion of the
colored people Withdrew altogether. This
afternoon about one hundred negroes as
sem5led and marched in procession through
the streets. These seem to have been the
worst negroes in the city. A: Hancock and
Chestnut, one negro left the procession, went
into grOcery-Store at the corner, and took
S. from the money-drawer. The alarm was
given, and Policeman Fowler attempted to
arrest the man. Several negroes in the
procession interfered with the arrest, and
Fowler was knocked down three times, but
was finally rescued by some young men who
came to his assistance.
A force of police collected, and a few
squares further on arrested eight negroes
in the procession. The other negroes then
commenced throwing rocks at every white
person on the street, injuring more or less
some eighteen or twenty men and women.
Henry He'll, German, coming out of his
store, was struck with rock, making a
very severe wound. Heirs wife was hit
twice and his son struck with I stone in
the back of his head. A painter named
Jacob Weis was struck by several rocks.
None, however, seem to he dangerously
hurt. The police again rallied and arrest
ed several more negroes. The procession
then disbanded.
&A meeting Of the more respectable ne
groes is to be held at Gloyeris rink tonight,
and it is rumored thai trouble will ensue
between the two factions. A strong force
of police has been detailed in front of the
building.
UEreauited Devotion.
A singular suit is now in progress in the
Chancery Court of this city. a woman
named Ellen Goodwin has followed a well
known gentleman here, Mai, Jno. ThrOck-
morton, for two or three years shadOwing
him everywhere, even when business called
him to distant cities. She was brought be-
fore the court last week on q writ de luna
tieo inquirendo. Medical experts testify
the case to be one of monomania- The
woman seems to be remarkably intelligent
on every other subject and has written
much for New York periodicals. Maj.
ThrockmortOn claims he never injured her
and has letters from Miss Goodwin TO the
same effect.
Explosion of Ether.
While DR.. b. p. Barnum, the well-knOwn
chemist Of this city, was making ether this
morning, the rerort exploded, utterly de-
moliShing the building. DR.. Barnma was
standing in the doorway and was badly
burned by the fire which immediately en-
sued. He fortunately escaped without
ether injury and the physicians think he
viii recover. The flames were subdmed
without other damage.
