correspondence between Sheridan and the
Secretary Of War explains itself:
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 6.-To the Hon. W. w. Bel
KNAPP, Secretary of War, Washington, D. c.: The
city is very quiet to-day. Some of the banditti
! made idle threats last night hat they would assas-
sinate me because l dared to tell the truth. Am
not afraid, and will not be stopped from enforcing
the government orders. There are localities in
this Department where the very air has been i'm
pregnated with assassination for some years.
P. II. SHERIDAN,
Iieutenant-G General Commanding.
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Jan. 6.-Gen. P. H. sheri-
dan, New Orleans: The President and all of us
have full confidence in and thoroughly approve
your course. WILLIAM ". BELKEAP,
Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 6.-To Geu.P z. II. Sheri-
dan, New Orleans: I telegraphed you hastily to-
day, answering your dispatch. You seem to fear
we will be misled by biased or partial statements
of your acts. Be assured that the President and
Cabinet confde in your wisdom AID rest in the
belief that all acts of yours have been and will be
judicious. This L intended to say in my brief
telegram. WILLIAM W. BELKNAP,
Secretary of War.
There is no probability, says a Washington
telegram, that the President will Issue such a
proclamation as Gen. Sheridan suggests in his
telegram to Secretary Belknap.

is under arrest upon g charSs OF numbering
his wife in November, 1871. Mrs. Riley dis

and has not been heard of since. Many people
there have believed for a long time that she

4 OF BOOKS.

Some twenty-eight hundred years ago
Solomon was Disguised wi IT, III
Der of books that were made, yen in
his day, and complainingly wrote :
"Of making many books, there is no
end and much study is q WEAKNESS Of
the flesh" What in the world would
that ancient Mormon monarch have
done if he had lived in Il day? Ac-
cording to the annual report Of the
Librarian of Congress, the number of
copyright entries during the year end
ing Dec. l, 1874, was 1928. The great
majority of these copyrights were for
books and periodicals. Solomon prob
ably spoke for all time, and his wis
dom probably enabled him to look
ahead and see the monstrous growth of
the evil in the distant future-16,253
books made in Il year, which wa an
increase Of 931 over the previous year.
The total number of volumes in the
Library of Congress is 274, 1913, which,
according to the present rate of in
crease, the Librarian says, will be
raised to half a million in less than
twenty-five years.

4 PHOTOGRAPHIC NOVELTY.

An application of photography,
which is aptly described as startling,
has been hit upon by an English anna
teur, whose name is not given. The
inventor claims to nave discovered a
method of fixing the image of an object
on a sensitized plate not more than
half an inca in diameter, an impression
from which can be afterward enlarged
to the necessary size. The plate is
fixed into an ordinary locket or keep
sake HANGING from a watch-chain, and
can be suddenly exposed, by q touch Of
the finger, on entering a room, and all
image taken of a picture Or of q person
without any one besides the operator
being aware of it.
The ~Spiritualists of Ohio have fallen
back upon Buddha and Pythagoras, and

advantages which render his labor indis.
pensable. 1. His ability to labor is not
affected by the climate. 2. His habits
are simple. He has been educated to
plain food, humble habitation and
coarse, strong clothing. He pays no
tribute to the fashions Of others, neither
in the style OF, his furniture, the dress OF
his family nor the unforeseen tribute
which society exacts for admission and
association. Almost every member of q
colored family is self-supporting. The
mother cooks or washes, the boy is a
house servant, the girl o nurse or seam
stress. The colored mason or carpenter
does not, therefore, bear the whole weight
Of supporting his family from his wages
alone. These clements of labor fix it's
cost in market, and without knowing the
rate OF wages paid the men in question,
We are satisfied they can, if competition
required it, sell their labor at lower
! rate than others who can not lay in the
materials from which labor is compounded
on as favorable terms as the colored me-
chanic can. We have further right to
this inference because of the prejudice
against the employment Of colored labor
ers which pervades our society. Con-
tractors very rarely pay such Difference to
public opinion as to employ one race of
laborers when another adequate to the
work can be employeda at lower wages.
1t is very obvi Gus that unless the South
shall produce a greater portion Of food
and fabrics at home the whole results of
her staple crops will be expended as here
tore IN exchange for the consumab1e COM
noditles manufactured elsewhere. The
South must provide for this want, other
wise we can never capitalize our earnings,
and must ever continue in dependence
upon others for those articles it were bet
ter We produced, at least to some extent,
ourselves. Now, ifthe industrial capacity
OF the educated negro can be employed
to meet this distant competition, we
should no more hesitate to employ them
than to throw up any other breastwork
against invasion.
We have added this example to the
argument made some days since, that
with education and opportunity the COL
ored people may be made valuable auxil-
iaries in the effort to establish navigation
and the mechanic arts in Louisiana. His I!
tory proves that the negroes Were i'm
ported into Louisiana because the white |
race was not able to endure his toll and |
exposure. The same cause and the same |
exists, and surely must utilize
IS citizens those who can no longer be
employed as slaves.

A STABLE GOVERNMENT IN MEXICO.

The statement ola Picayune correspond
ent that revolution, to have been headed
by General Rocha, YVES defeated by the
personal intervention Of the Secretary of
War and by the magnanimity of the gov
eminent has been confirmed by late Mexi-
can papers.
When we look back upon the pillows
of strife and blood which have disturbed
the tranquility of Mexico for more than
half century we regard with pleasure
the calm which seems now succeeding.
This is due to several prominent causes.
The liberal government has assured to each
citizen that freedom Of opinion which is
the birthright of every republican. From
this results tolelation of dissent equally
indispensable. If we load down the safety
valve and crowd on steam there must be
an explosion. Entire freedom of opinion
is the sole and sufficient escape pipe of
republic. Error" said Mr.. Jefferson,
''ceases to be dangerous when reason is
left free to combat it." President Lerdo
seems to have caught this conviction. He
allows the revolutionists to expose the
error of their own purposes, and trusts to
public common sense to judge between
his acts and those prop osed by his oppo-
nents.
We suppose it is more difficult to teach
in Mexico than it is here the obligation
of every citizen Of republic to abide by
the laws as enacted and expounded by
those authorities which each citizen has
assisted to choose and contested to accept
as arbiters. We have found difficulty
here in teaching few persons who do not
this obligation to their own
government, that they have no right TO |
lullify the effect of law because it may
lot suit them. We have occasionally had |
liens from France or England, who are
# opinion that it is injustice to compel a
itizen to pay tax or perform duty
which does not suit him. The bulk of
ur people are, however, convinced that
he only proper way to repeal law or
hange policy is by q change Of repre-
We trust the Mexican people
I'LL become convinced of the same truth.
To show, however, that the ideas of the
nreading and unrefecting in Mexico are

INDUSTRIAL VALUE OF THE COLCEED
RACE,

We have argued that the period ap-
breaches when all men will recognize the
capacity Of the colored race to be entrust-
ed with a share in the common govern
ment. We avow in addition the convic-
ton that the Industrial agencies Of the
same race are indispensable to the social
welfare Of the South. We have heretofore
cited the almost exclusive employment Of
colored people as domestic servants, and
aborers on the plantations, levees and
steamboats,. We now add the spectacle Of
a numerous and exclusive force of colored
masons employed in building tie founda-
tons Of principal edifce upon the prin-
cipal street in the city.
From this fact we draw the following
differences:
, 1. The colored people viii constitute
valuable mechanical class.
2. They are indispensable to the reces-
sites Of the city.
It has always been known that colored
men were readily taught all the mechan-
ical trades. 1t was complaint of the
whites in many parts of the South that
each planter would educate his black
smith, mason, carpenter and shoemaker,
Is his.women were taught how to spin,
weave, cut out and sew. We do not ex-
'ect these colored mechanics will become
he rivals Of the whites. Were our mechan.
cal industries developed as they will be,
here will be here, as elsewhere, work and |

TWO GREAT STATESMEN DEMoLIsHEl

TWO GREAT STATESMEN DEMOLISHED
"Horace Maynard, Of Tennessee, is Q
bore" and General Gordon, of Georgia,
is rapidly becoming one;" at least, we
have the testimony Of the Picayune in
the affirmative of both propositions. We
suppose our. neighbours an authority on
the subject o. bores, otherwise we should
never have troubled our readers with a
REPETITION Of its &c cathedra opinion.
We believe it is the special province of
dandies, monarchs and editors to vote
people bores, and wave them from their
presence with flourish of the cane, the
sceptre or the pen. From such dread
fiat there is no appeal. A bore, naturally,
has no rights which the superior classes
are bound to respect. Poor Maynard !!
Unhappy Gordon The admirable philos-
ophy of the one, the brilliant Confeder-
ate record Of the other, is insufficient to
save them from Punishment We can
only hope that neither Of the unfortunate
gentlemen will ever hear Of it. So long
as they remain in ignorance they may be
comparatively happy

to qualify Republican, is also misused
from the fact that it is made to convey the
idea that a Radical must necessarily be an
extremist Of dangerous character, when
in fact he is only reformer of the abuses
of government. President Grant is IN
doubtedly conservative. He has given
evidence Of this by his determination to
enforce the laws against all persons who
have or may conspire to change the free
institutions Of our country by an unwar-
rantable interference with the elective

SENATORIAL VISITORS.

We learn that Senator West will, upon
his expected return home after the ad-
journment of Congress, be accompanied
by Senators Morton, of Indiana, and
Cameron, Of Pennsylvania. Both these
distinguished gentlemen will be cordially
| welcomed into the State for which they
have done so much. Senator Morton in
particular has been the able and success
full champion of this State during the
past two years. A personal and political
friend of Governor Kellogg, he has to a
great extent taken his place in the Senate
ever since he has been called to the
executive chair, and lent his powerful aid
to Senator West in all matters affecting
our welfare. His votes, speeches and
work in committee have always been on
the right side. There is but one man in
the world, outside of Louisiana, to whom
this State is more indebted for the bless
ings of Republican government, and
that is the President himself The able
conduct Of our case in the Senate
by the great Indiana statesman was,
however, vital to the success of
the Presidents patriotic and humane poi
icy toward us. The enemies of Repub-
licanism made fearful onslaught upon
the President, Governor Kellogg, General
Sheridan, and all and singular those who
had good word or kindly thought for
our struggling people. But the gladiator
of the Senate was fully equal to the great
occasion. He has we'll earned the title of
leader Of the Senate, which is to-day the
ablest and most august body of statesmen
in the world. In this work Senator Nor
tor has been faithfully sustained by his
brother members. Among those who
never made factious speech or gave an
unfriendly vote against US is the veteran
Senator from Pennsylvania.
We learn that both these Senators ore
en- route to Mexico, where large number
Of American citizens have preceded them
