The New Orleans Republi-
can misunderstands, or rather
willfully misrepresents the
views Of the conservative and
d democratic press Of Louisiana
IN relation to the printing law.
We know Of no paper on our
side which desires a printing
law passed in the interest Of
the democratic and conserva-
tive press. What we, all de-
sire, and demand, is, that the
parochial and judicial printing
be left open to competition, and
that the parties interested be
allowed to have the publica-
tons made in the paper they
prefer; and that the State
printing be given to the lowest
bidder. We hope there is not
9 conservative publisher in the
State who desires to have the
public forced, by an infamous
law, to patronize him. Such
patronage is only desired by
the dirty rascals who run such
sheets as the New Orleans Repnb-
iican; gentlemen who are conduct
ing newspapers want no patron.

NEGRO SUPERsTITIoN.-Jer-
|ry Harris and Henry Spence,
negroes both, fell out about q
heifer. While the fuss was
raging, Henry and his wife Wis.
tied jerry, and, after they left,
Jerry was horror-striken to
find that they had left upon
the floor a little bundle. He
suspected danger, shook his
head, and uttered maledictions
upon his visitors. He was
afraid to sleep in the house
where the suspicious bundle
was, and yet did not like to
open it. At last he called his
family around, and the horror
was carried into the road to
be burned, and sure enough,
when it was opened, a piece Of
borax, nine roots, a hair split
at the end, and other unac-
countable things were found.
At any rate, Jerry built a big
fire over the bundle, and when
it was consumed he went to
bed, but sleep would not come
to his eyes nor slumber to his
eyelids, and when he would
doze off his screams would dis
turb his family.
