Syasbip9top-A story for Bows.

There was once little boy, named
George Wash ing-ton, and he was the son
of rich Virginia planter. Now his
a-ther was very fond of little George,
and he bought him little hat-chet with
which George was very much delighted.
He used to go about chopping every thing
he could find, as boys are apt to do. Now
bis father had some choice goose berry
bushes which he thought great deaf of,
and little George chop ped one of them
down. When his father saw it, he was
very an CRY, and he called George to him
and ask ed him who did 1t, and little
George look ed right up in his fathers face
without tlinch-iug and no-bly answered
him: "Fa. ther, | cannot tell a lie; one of
the niggers did it with an axe" And
Georges father took him up in his arms
and wept down his back, and said: my
son, I'd rather you should tell one hun
dred lies than chop down one OF my goose
berry bush es." And little George grew
up to be the President Of the ni-ted
States. Little boya, if you tell lies, you
may be come Pres i-dent. or be hanged, or
go to State Prison or Congress, or meet
some other awful fate.

kate Fields Correspondence with She New York
Tribune.
All this thought while waiting for Cas-
telar, becoming more and more nervous
about seeing him; for what right had to
take up his valuable time-I who had come
to Spain solely to look at him, hear him
talk if he would, and draw my own cOnclu-
sions for nv own satisfact ion! l was not
sent on mission by great moral organ; l
was not clothed in the garb of an inter
viewer. Impulse alone had impelled me,
and how could draw CASTELAR, out in half
an hour9 Though l might long to pat lead
ing questions and jump into the middle of
things, | could not. NobLeSse Obtige. l be-
gan to snub impulse and wish myself on the
other side of the Pyrenees, when CASTELAR,
entered, shaking hands 40 cordially as to
render nv role less difficult than l had
feared. He was man of thirty-six about
five feet six inches tall, inclined to corpu-
lency, squarely bIilt, and shOrt-necked. He
had an olive complexion, great, black, SYM
pathetic eyes denoting a near-sightednes So
that the glasses hanging from his neck
proved; round face sh0rn Of all but a
+ heavy black mustache conceallng the
mouth too much to please physiognomist;
a round, good natured chin, a noble dome
shaped head, somewhat suggestive of
Shakspeares, benevolent to others, yet un-
generous to itself in the matter of hair.
This was Emil CASTELAR,, he too introvert-
ed to remark the ink-stain upon his shirt
or the general carelessness of his dress.
Enemies make capital out of this personal
negligence. 1t shows how clean CASTELAR,
must be inside when opponents are obliged
to attack his clothes A clever Spaniard,
immaculate IN attire, once devoted a whole
hour to the task of demonstrating Castelar's
unftness to govern because of his slovenli-
ness. l admired the handsome Spaniard,
but failed to be convinced. Cleanliness is
next to godliness; but if. in revolutionary
times we can not have both, let us take
godliness and be grateful.

senator Carpenters Prospects.

The Chicago Tribune reports that at re-
cent secret meeting, at Milwaukee, of the
tried, true and trusted of Wisconsin Re-
publicans, the prospects OF the future were
the subject of discussion. Senator Carpen-
ter's term expires next year, and it was
felt that if the question of his reelection
should be made an issue in the fall, it
would be impossible TO recover the State
from the hands of the RefOrmers, who car
ried the State last fall. The general i'm
preston at the meeting was that those who
had voted for Carpenter in 1869 were Op-
posed to him to-day; that the best men in
the party believed that with Carpenter as
candidate it would be impossible to carry a
single Assembly or Senatorial district. A
letter from prominent Republican who
could not be present informed the meeting
that Carpenter, to whom he was personally
friendly, was-and he could not disguise
the fact from himself, however much he de-
sired TON his congressional district the
most unpopular man in Congress, Butler
not excepted" that the farmers distrusted
him; that their disapprOval of his course
was unbounded; that his GAINESVILLE speech
had not only cost him ''votes, but hearts,"
that the opposition to him could not soon
be quieted: that any Republican who ad
vocated his reelection would, in his con-
gressional district, be certainly defeated;
that if the question of bis reelection was
brought into the canvass next fall, it would
be disastrous to the Republican party in
Wisconsin. A variety of suggestions were
made, but the only thing definitely settled
upon was that Carpenter must be dropped

CODmumcated.I
The Republican Press Of Louisiana.

Auditor Clinton may be all right in his
notions in regard to the public printing of
this State-it may be we'll enough to cease
publishing the laws and the journals In the
country papers under proper regulations
but l must think the Democratic press of
this city very inconsistent in so hastily
coming to his eulogy, for it can not have
been 80 soon forgotten that these same
journals denounced me very bitterly for
being instrumental in the passage of a law
in 1873 accomplishing in legal form pre-
cisely that which the Auditor now wishes
done in another and far less effective iway
But this inconsistency is not at all strange
nor new with the rebel skunks," it is part
and parcel of their life blood, their daily
food and their principal perfume" will
not controvert with such journals any more
upon any point of principle or common
sense, for they possess no fairness and no
reason, and their commentator is rather
to be Stunned than csurted. But would
drop an admonishing word to any and all
Of my own party who may really have any
design or purpose of adopting any measure
that would tend to destroy the Repub-
lican press of this State: and / must
think that the recommendation of Auditor
Clinton would have decidedly such tend
ency, if adopted in the manner proposed.
The law which, as chairman of the Senate
Committee on Printing, l aided in having
passed in 1873, and which Governor Kel-
logg vetoed, took away from the State print
ing board the power to give out the printing
OF the laws or journals to any paper in the
country parishes; but at the same time it
provided other and more local means of
sustaining wholesome and safe Repub-
lican press throughout the State, at re-
duced rates Of official advertising, without
rObbing any one of cent, or taking from
the treasury a single unnecessary dollar
that is, single dollar in any unusual or
"gratuitous" way. Mr. Clinton's recon-
mendation would, however, under the
present printing law, destroy the Repub-
lican press throughout the country par
ishes of Louisiana almost in sin
gle day. He thus aims q direct
and positive death blow at the very
power which placed him in office; and those
iournals-those "rebel sknnks' who would
rather see the prince of devils filling the Of
fee of State Auditor than Charles Clinton,
shoat hOsannas and amen.
Be it so; but l am not in that count or
that category. lam not in favor of muzzling
the OK which threadeth out the corn, and l
warn Mr.. Clinton, and all others concerned,
against all such injustice and gross folly.
am ready at any time to discuss the
utility of expenditures for public printing
in this State, and compare such items with
other expenditures, and see who receives
"gratuities" at the public expense. And
may do so, even unasked; and then, if it
should turn out that different OK is gOred,
"shake not thy CORY locks at me-"

Grain for Europe,

Messrs. Orthwein a. Mersman, who re-
Gently purchased tor Mr.. Reynolds, owner
of the Diamond JOe' tow and barges, a
large amount of corn and wheat for Europe
via New Orleans, are now loading barges of
the Mississippi Valley Transportation line
with corn, and will ship Saturday to New
Orleans for Europe $4,000 bushels, con.
signed to Messrs. Glover & Odendahl. A
fact of some interest in connection with
these large shipments, as stated is that the
insurance is Obliged to be effected in New
Orleans, underwriters here exacting cOndi-
tions so orerous that they can not be gen.
orally complied with by the shippers. The
shipment referred to is insured in New Or
leans, as was the previous shipment made

Trial for the Colfax Massacre.

The Shreveport Times publishes the toll
lowing letter from one OF the counsel en-
ployed in the defense of the men now being
tried in the United States Circuit Court for
the murder of large number OF colored
men at Colfax, on Easter Sunday OF last
year: -.
New ORLEANS, February "a; 1874.
The trial of the Grant parish prisoners
began Yesterday in the United States Cir
cult Court. 1t will last thirty days. The
jury was packed on us, but we have sue
ceeded in obtaining a jury which we be-
lieve will do us Justice. The United States
has over 200 witnesses. They are paid regu-
Iarly their per diem Isl 50) and their mile
age. With unparalleled meanness, Packard
refuses to pay or transport our witnesses,
poor and INDECENT people. unable to
maintain themselves. Well, we sue
ceeded in obtaining them passage on
the St. Mary and the Southwestern at half
fare 1t cost us $3.50. We have to main
tain them at 81 per day. One hundred
and twenty five witnesses, 81 per day and
thirty days, $3.50; for subp9nas and
special marshal $3.50; tor photographers
flor we are obliged to have the trial re-

This makes total cost to us of $3.50.
Whitaker and Castellanos are defending
them as volunteer counsel, and l, by re-
quest of the Committee of Seventy, but
without compensation. ] have no partner
here, and for thirty days l will be obliged
to neglect all other business. l don't care
a snap for this however, if we only succeed.
Our people are doing all they can. Our citi-
zens are subscribing, our ladies are canvass
ing for subscriptions. Such ladies as Mrs.
O., Mrs. A, Mrs. NJ, Mrs. E.,
Nine. C, Nine. T, and others, are
abroad getting money, arranging for con-
certs and entertainments for the purpose of
helping us. Our ministers. Drs. Palmer,
Markham and others are lending helping
hands, and yet we have given so much in
che past year that we will be pressed for
money. We are obliged, therefore, to ap
peal to the people of the interior towns and
cities to help us. We hope to acquit these
men. We believe we will acquit them.
And in the development of the trial will fix
the real guilt and RESPONSE biity for all the
blood of Colfax upon Kellogg and the Radi
cal party of this State.

Appointments. A

1t is understood the Governor has de-
termined TO make no more appointments to
office until after he has considered and ap-
proved or rejected the various bills-some
forty or fifty in number-that passed the
Legislature during the last days of its ses-
sion. This work he considers of more pub
lie Importance than that of listening to the
claims of the different aspirants for office.
When he has completed the work of legisla-
ton, he will doubtless return to the un-
pleasant task of selecting from among the
numerous applicants for office the best men
for the limited number of places that are
to be filed.

Senate bankruptcy bill with its noncon-
currence.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
Judiciary Committee to inquire what legis-

OF West Virginia to pay her proportion of
the ante-war debt of Old Virginia.
The SanbOrn contracts had a partial VEN
tilation. in which the affair was denounced
by every member who spoke except Mr..
Butler, of Massachusetts, who defended it
as a means of making rich individuals and
corporations pay their delinquent taxes, in
lieu of having to raise revenue on a poor
mans tea and coffee.

Mr.. Conkling presented a petition of
Morton, Griswold, and other prominent
citizens of New York, holding bonded in

ing that the Legislature of that State is
engaged in a process of reputation, and
praying Congress that the bill introduced
