Did youcyer prescribe for Cancer Of
the STOMACH in the ease of Mr.. Thos.
Austin? II the examination after death
did YOU find Cancer in the Stomach?
Perhaps YOU mistooK the enlarged Kid
ney for the Stomach.
Did you say hat Mrs. Bowman had
the Consumption; that she could not
live but a Few weeks? What cured her?
Did You prescribe for Miss Lissie
Caldwell for Neuralgia of the Stomach
and Bowels bef5re | was called to see
her, wher a few doses of medicine for

on Judge McL;in, did you think that
by taking eff his thumb and parts of his

did not think so why didyou commence
to operate On his thumD?:
believe you estiiied in substance on

Sary to visit Il patient ottener than once

or die in Il few days. Now Sir, |
want YOU b reconcile this statement
with 4 statement which you made to Mr..
ID. T. Russdl, when he told you that he
did not wan you to visit his wife often

tremity OF turning out all the Republican
members if they had the power. If this
were the correct doctrine Of representa-
tive government then the delegate should
be elected on general ticket, and not by
districts, as at present. Such regula-
ton would as efectually deprive the mi
norlty OF voice in the Legislature as
the laws and usag@ in the days of slavery
ignored the negro population and the
laooring classes, which together comprised
two-thirds of the inhabitants of the State
The Legislature as now organized is sub
Ject to the same objection, except that the
classes have been reversed and those who
were once deemed to have no rights at all
are alone represented, and the absence of
the others is voluntary. And further,
they make more fuss over their self-depri-
walton than their opponents ever did when
lndignity, oppression, outrage and wrong
were visited upon them as rule.
As all prospect of the one-sided trade
proposed by the Democracy is of, how

may yet summon up sufficient independ-
ence to return.

WHAT WAS THE OBJECT7

On Mardi Gras an cratic knife grinder
appeared on Canal street, tricked out
with military trappings and a bayoneted
rifle, each piece having been stolen from
the State. The man was arrested, but
when policeman began to execute his
duty there was displayed an evidence OF
opposition on the part of men who sin
gularly happened to be near the spot.
Weapons were drawn and officers threat
ened in All unmistakable manner,
but by frmness of purpose the Me-
tropoitans succeeded in lodging ac-
cused in a prison. The rabble followed
to the calaboose doors, and expressed
their disappointment in jeers which
meant no good. When the man was
questioned concerning the manner of his
possessing the articles, he said that a
person, to him unknown, in the Third
District, had fitted him out, and told
him to go up town and have a jolly
good time. If his story is true there
can be but two reasonable solutions.
First, the unknown man may have taken
that method to rid himself of property
which was liable to place him in dis
agreeable position if discovered. Second,
It may have been a deliberate scheme to
create q riot and intimidate the police
'or political purposes. If the latter is the
correct conjecture it is pleasant to know
hat the plot was frustrated. As it is, q

INTERESTING WORK.

At each session of the State Legislature,
for several years, the subject of the Canal
Carondelet was brought up, and referred,
but that was all. Once more it is heard
of; this time introduced by Mr.. Guichard,
of st. Bernard. His resolution asks for
a solution of the question how the present
company became possessed Of the right
to collect tolls on vessels which pass
through Bayou st. John, natural stream,
and natural drain for a portion of this
city. The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Canals and Drainage, and
it is expected that the document will not
be smothered in the fOrgetful dust OF
pigeon hole. This company, if it is
company, has been close monopoly
during many years and an anchor on
lake commerce. 1t is true that the pre-
decessors of this corporation expended
little money in clearing the bayou, but
that was SO long ago that few men re-
member the fact. The managers took
many thousand dollars from our munich
pal treasury because the city drained
some surplus water into the canal. After
SO many efforts let us have full report
in this case. We sympathize with the
committee, however, knowing that it has
difficult task to perform. If it is proper,
and we believe it is, Bayou St. John
should be as free as the Mississippi river
or lake Pontchartrain.
The work may be probably extended
by looking after the lease of the New
canal. Last session list of names was
furnished the committee, and the owner
of each name was competent witness to
prove that the lease has been forfeited
over and over again. The tolls are alto
gether too high, and the contracted depth
of water has not been preserved. AS this
canal is State property our legislators
should look to the peoples interest in it.
The rates on tonnage should be lowered to
the least possible sum, which will benefit |
everybody except the lessee.
