THE LOUIsIANIAN

LILLY OASAAAAVAAAAV
was established to meet q necessity
that has long, and sometimes, pain
fully been felt to exist.
It was proposed through this
Journal to furnish to OUR PEOPLE
the information guidance - en-
eouragement and counsel which
they SO much needed in the trana-
ton from their former unfortunate
condition into the new and better
estate Of American citizenship.
In ren1ming it's publication, we
re-assure our readers and friends,
that, holding this journal true to its
original aims, we shall honestly
labor to make it an efficient agent
in furthering the interests of the
oolored people Of the Nation, and.
elevating the race that it especially
represents.
POLICY
As our motto indicates, the
Louls1AS1AN shall be "Republicors at
all times and under all ctrcum-
afances." We shall advocate fhe
security and enjoyment of broad
civil liberty, the absolute equality /
Of all men before the law, and an
impartial distribution of honor and
patronage to all who merit them.
Desirous Of allaying animosities,
Of obhterating the memory of the
bitter pash Of promoting harmony
and union among all classes and
between all interests, we shall
advocate the removal of all disabii-
ties. foster kindness and forbear-
snce, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness
and justice where wrong and op-
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, We shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
our noble State, to an enviable posi-
ton among her sister States, by the
Development Of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits
Of the mighty changes in the history
and condition Of the people and the
sountry. |
Believing that there can be no
tue liberty without the supremacy
Of law, we shall urge a strict and |
undiscriminating administration of |
Justice.
TAXATION
We shall support the doctrine OIL
an equitable division of taxation |
among all classes, a faithful colleo-
%a non Of the revenues, economy in
me expenditures, conformably with |
toe exigencies Of the State Or
country and the discharge Of every
'eghmate obligation.
EDUCATION
We shall sustain the CARVING out |

ing @e our common schoof system, and
sa asge as : paramount dnty the edu-
oatlon OF our youth, "a vitality con-
uected with their own enliahten-

such years Of suffering experience,
should surpass them? Filled with
the sense Of their new responsible

Samuel Albertson brought out the will
from his old farmers desk and produced
il before the heirs, it was found to be only
sheet of blank paper Every body was
astonished, and nobody more so than
Samuel Albertson, and the suspicion
grew that the will had been distracted by
some interested persons, who were not
satisfied with the conditions OF the
genuine document. Suspicion attached
to the daughters or their husbands as the
parties to be benefited, and after quarrel
ing tor two years the sons paid over to
them as compromise some 100000. At
last however, the mystery about Old
Daniel Vliet's will has leaked out a
dssipated companion of young Albert
son having quarreled with him, divulged
the fact that young Al5ertson, for bribe
of $500, paid 20 him by two of the sons
in-law, stole the will from his fathers
desk and substituted the sheet OF blank
paper. Young Albertson has confessed ;
there will be a new division of old Daniel
Vliets money, out of which viii grow a
family feud that will last a life time, and
perhaps be left as a legacy to the next
generation.-St Louis Republican.

4ree daughters, the latter married to men
A good circumstances. To these he be
4ueathed $1,000 each, and to his sons the
residue of his property, some $4,000, and

FACTS AND FIGURES.

There are SO, 900 horses in Maine.
Virginia drinks Sl2,000,000 worth of
liquor every year
--Harrisburgh Pa, has cactus over
110 years old and seventeen feet high.
Seventy eight theaters have been
burned in the United States in seventy
five years.
The new Illinois State House will
cost over $2,200O00, and there has been
no stealing.
"A greater number of immigrants ar
rived in Boston during 1873 than ever
before in one year.
A Des Moines firm recently shipped
100 boxes of meat to Liverpool They
were shipped on an order direct from
England.
One day recently, 5000 bushels of
wheat was brought into Duluth on
sleighs, and its local press term it the
greatest wheat market in the world.
Upward of eighty millions of pounds,
or forty thousand tons of grain, were de
ivered by the Erie Railroad at Jersey
CITY during the month OF December, 1873,
being 112 per cent. more than in the cor
responding month Of 1872.
1t is noteworthy that out of seventy
seven storm warning signals displayed at
United States ports during last December,
sixtv-two are known to have been actual
" justified 10y storm following. This
gives the gratifying PERCENTAGE OF S05l.
An English quarter of wheat is eight
bushels of our measure, so that ninety'six
millions of bushels of our wheat will be
demanded by England. Statistics thus
far gathered show that our exports thus
far this year greatly exceed those of any
previous year, in almost all Of our staples.
Estimates made on the lumber opera
tons in Michigan during the past year
show that 2,120 S85, l24 feet were cut, of
which 435,310000 feet stillremain unsold.
OF the logs put in last winter, 523, 100000
feet are still on hand, and the stock eStl-
mated to be put in during the present
winter is set down at y14, 00C, 600.
The relative cost of running railway
trains by the Government and by charter
ed companies is shown by recent reports
to be in favor of the latter plan. In Ger
many the cost of working railroads by the
State for four years ending with 1867, was
501a per cent, and in other European
countries 5415 per cent; while the cost of
working by con panies averaged 40 per
cent in Germany and As per cent. in other
nations.
