Punctuality.

The good, old and tri;e adage,
100 much of a good thing won't do"
has nova days run aground, played
out-so believing we must yet harp
on a really good thing, despite the
worn out adage-and still pay our
regards, as a weekly chronicler OF
important business events, to our
Packet, par excellence and just right,
The Bart. Able, Captain Dick Sinnott
in command. AS we have often sta
led, and which we cannot too often
repeat, besides many other merits,
she is punctuality ITSELF, and knows
no such words as fail and behind
me in her log book. Monday NOR
ming at q quarter to three o'clock by
Ferguson and Schnack's Regulator,
she blew her whistle for her first
landing, Pineville, and made her bus
mess trip TO this place inside of thir-
ty-Iour hours, with fair trip all
81 ound. She reached New Orleans
on her down trip, these hard, dull
Zines, with SIT bales Of cotton, 149
sacks of cotton seed, Is hogsheads OF
sugar, 166 head of stock and sundries
to order.

West and bis Trumpet.

,Osall the filth and garbage thrust
up by civil connection in this coun-
try, none is more foul and loathsome
than Rodman West, who sits in the
Senate Of the United States by vir-
tue of unpaid brides to negro legisla-
tors. 1t is no secret that this dis
honorable adventurer procured his
present seat by the promise Of one
thousand dollars each, to thirty
members of the Legislature, and that
he afterwards boosted that only two
Of them were shrewd enough TO de-
mand their bride IN advance, and the
rest never got it. The N. O. Repub-
lican is not ashamed to bespatter
him with fulsome praise, and pro-
nounces his speech on the Foster
Report ''masterly," as if anything
worthy of that epithet could come
out Of the ''empty head" that Thur
man characterized with so much truth
aid pu1gcncy.

Communications.

Nh. ED1roR:-
Compromise means a surrender of
something. Rights under the Con
stitution and laws can't be compro-
missed, they can, and are, compro-
missed. II you compromise your
rights you compromise honor, and
would compromise the honor Of Lou
isiana 81? Certainly no native. To
recognize Kellogg, or any part of his
usurpation would be dishonor. Then
away with all idea Of compromises
The resolutions offered by Colonel
Ellis at The meeting at the "Clay
Monument" were in the proper spir-
it. Let us contend on forever for our
rights. Governor McEaery. has prov
ed himself a true man.

The LATEST.

The following special to the N. o.
Picayune enables US to place the Ia
test on the situation before our
readers:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Radi-
Gals are at bay. The only victim Of
The fray is Pinchback. There is
sympathy for him in bis fight, and
the general impression is, he has as
good a claim to Senatorial seat as
Kellogg has to the Gubernatorial
chair. Pinchback is indignant, and
has no hesitation in saying had he
been q white man the Radicals would
have forced him into his seat long
ago. He is somewhat disguised with
carpet.baggers, but is utterly out
ragged at the conduct of the false
Northern lovers Of the negro.
Having whipped the Radicals in
this fight, the Democrats are conf
dent of defeating all the political
bills. The contest over Pinchback
promised to be so close that Vice
President Wilson was telegraphed
for to give the deciding vote, in case
of tie, which was probable should is
sue have been reached. Pinchback
can't come up again this session, and
at the called executive session, with
Andy johnson and the rest there, he
will stand no chance whatever.

RE MIN DER!

THE DEMOCRAT has many cou1-
try subscribers who are in arrears
one, two, three and four years, and as
the crops have turned out well, and
Christmas times approaching, we
would suggest to these delinquents,
who have enjoved our paper so we'll

and send us some little remittance in
way of payment. Where the whole
amount cannot be spared, we will be
,...,,saed with half, and be thankful
at that!

week, we owe thanks to the clerks of

THERE is a rumor floating round
loose that the Court is 70 be impeach-

The American Newspaper Ad-
vertising Agency of Geo. P. Rowell
and Co., New York, is the only estab.
lishment of the kind in the United
States which keeps itself persistently
before the people by advertising in
newspapers. They evidently receive
their reward, for we have it from a
reliable source that advertising or
ders issued by them for their custo-
mers have exceeded three thousand
dollars day since the commence
ment Of The year, and this is not a
very good year for advertising either.

they expelled him from the Wing.

used 10 at Colfax, drew his revolver,
swore he would shoot, and all that
SOFT Of big stuff, if the Speaker did
not acknowledge his wink. Hahn
couldn't or wouldn't see, SO Ward
was as good as his word, and raised
merry HI a little while on his watch
among the animals, but they had
seen enough OF him before, so he was
arrested, lodged in The Police Station
at once, aud next day WAS expelled
by 80 yeas TO 10 nays-not a quo
rum-but near enough for that pur-
pose-so out vamoosed Ward. Two
of The animal orators while speaking
on the subject matter, stated what
we all here knew and have time and
again preached, that Ward was a bad
fellow, caused the bones Of 200 col
ored ones 10 bleach at Colrax, and
WAS three times in the Menage:,e
without being elected, WAS a fraud,
and should be ousted. It Was done,
