Has it ever occurred to the Democrat
lie masses who for years have been
grumbling at the high taxes imposed by
the Government on all classes in this
country, that with Democratic victory
in the next Presidential campaign viii
come demand for the payment to the
southern people of the price of their
slaves, for whose freedom the war was
waged for four years, amounting to hun
aIreds of millions? In that case, would
not the lives and fortunes sacrificed have
been worse than useless2 These are
facts which should make the most heed
less Bourbon stop and consider. To
prove that that viii be done, just look
at the efforts of the most influential
Southern newspapers to have that de-
mand made plank in the next Demo
cratic platform.

In the Democratic camp the Governor,

the Madison Democrat as their mouth
piece, are taking the Grange side Of the
railway controversy on the other are
arrayed al the railroads, headed by Hon.
Alexander Mitchell, President of the ST.
Paul Company, with the Milwaukee
News as their organ, denouncing the
Potter law and all kindred acts as per-
nicious and ruinous to business, and
clamoring for their repeal. How these
two factions are to be got together on
this question in the next State Conven-
ton, and platform constructed that will
suit both sides, and catch the votes of
the Changers and railroad-men, is mat
ter that will be likely to puzzle the wisest
heads among them.

THE CENTENNIAL.-The Centennial
Exposition will open IN Philadelphia
May 10 and close Nov. 10, 1876. Its
estimated cost is $1O,O0O,0GO, and the
Board of Finance, which is a. body Great
ed by Congress. is authorized to issue
stock to that amount, in $40 shares.
The subscriptions of Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia have been SO liberal that it
is necessary to issue only S., O0O,O 900 OF
stock. Citizens of Philadelphia and the
State of New Jersey have already sub
scribed for two-fifths of this, SO that
only 100000 more is wanted. The
money already received or guaranteed
will provide for the erection OF the main
building, which covers 20 acres, and for
the granite art-gallery, and the hortlcul-
t1ral, agricultural, and machinery halls.
All these buildings, with an aggregate
extent of so acres, are now under con-
tract, and will be finished by the first
day OF next year. The 100000 IS
needed to complete the interior of the
halls, paint and decorate them, supply
gas, shafting, pipes, ETC., build fences,
cattle-p pens, and sheds, and grade and
beautify the 450 acres of Paramount Park
set apart for the Exposition.
The success of the Centennial as
show, may be considered certain. A
number of States have appropriated
funds to defray the incidental costs OF
their proper representation at Philadel-
phia. Wisconsin has not been behind
hand in this matter, and the space allot-
ted to exhibitors of this State will be amp
ly filled. Thirty-two nations have al
ready accepted the invitation of Con-
gress, sent through the President of the
United States, to join in the celebration
of our hundredth birthday. Among
these nations are England, Spain, Swift
zerland, France, Norway, Sweden,
China, Japan, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
the Netherlands, Mexico, Italy, and the
German Empire. Greece, Egypt, aid
Turkey are expected to put in an ap-
pearance Russia declines, we believe,
to take any steps in the matter. This is
solitary exception to the rule.

SUICIDE FROM INSANITY.

At IL NJ. yesterday, Mr.. L. Durand, while
laboring under temporary insanity, commit.
ted suicide at his grocery store. corner oil
Toulouse and Chartres streets, by shooting
himself in the mouth and left breast with 9
Williamson revolver.
The Coroner held an inquest and rendered
q verdict, that deceased had come to his death
by two shots from pistol in his own hands,
while in state of insanity, causing internal
hemorrhage and death. Mr.. Durand is 9
native of Bavaria, but has been a resident Of
New Orleans for the past thirty years.
For some ten years back the deceased has
suffered from attacks of momentary delirium.
The attacks of late had become SO frequent
that he told his wife he would kill himself
the next time he had an attack. At II o'clock
yesterday his wife went down stairs for the
purpose of getting pitcher of water, she then
went into the grocery, and while there heard
the report of pistol; before she had time to
reach up stairs she heard second report.
On arriving in the room, Mr.. Durand was
found bleeding profusely on his bed. DR..
Touatre was sent for, who came Immediately.
Mr.. Durand, pointing to the wound in his
head, said: 81 missed that shot; but this one
will do it, DOCTOR" showing the wound in the
left breast. Ten minutes after this he ex.

The deceased was about fifty seven years Of
age, leaves wife but no children, and is re-
puted to be very rich, as his business had
been very prosperous for many years. 1t is
supposed, from the appearance of the pistol,
that he must have tried three barrels of the
weapon, but one hung fire, as it was found
with the cap burst upon the nipple.

After the adoption of the minutes of the
last meeting, q report was received from a
committee on the Robert E. Lee monumental
fund and adopted.
The Committee on the Constitution and
Bylaws made their report, changing, SO far
as was necessary, the old organization.
The uniform chosen was that they used be-
fore the war-the old Continental style, SO
artistic and conspicuous.
Mr.. J. G. Fleming, who was one Of the
original members, made speech to the COM
pany, recalling the incidents connected with
its foundation, in 1854. How in those
troublous times it was deemed proper that
there should be a company of citizen soldiery
to protect life and property, in case OF riot,
and that this highly respectable congrega-
ton of men had organized themselves. He
said that it was their intention now to take
another start, and to enlist those OF high
character for the great 1876.
Messrs Hedges and Barbot also spoke OF
the original command, and feelingly alluded
to the gaps made in their ranks by death.
After the transaction of other business
they adjourned to meet next Wednesday
night.

The Damage to Crops in the West.

The estimate of losses by the late floods at
the West is startling, though it is likely that
they are somewhat exaggerated, and that
portion will be saved of what is supposed to
be lost. In the Ohio Valley the principal loss
is in wheat, which, after being half winter
killed, is now reduced another third, while
what remains is considerably damaged. On
account of the larger acreage sown, however,
it is estimated that the crop will average one
half of last years yield. The chief damage
to corn is in the river lotions, where it is q
total loss. The acreage is much larger than
last year, and an average yield is still ex-
pected.
The oat crop is beaten so fiat that much of
it cannot be harvested. There is but little
barley growing. Hay promises partial crop,
but of inferior quality, the rains having
greatly damaged it. 10 the Wabash Valley,
including fourteen counties, the highest esti-
mate of losses is $4,000 900. The loss of
corn alone is put at 100000 acres, which at
Sis per acre makes $3,000,000. Ia Illinois
the largest estimate of loss is So 0O0, 900, and
it is hoped that few days OF sunshine will
show this figure to be much too large. One
hun ired thousand acres of corn along the
Illinois bottoms are under water.-1roy Daily
Times.

WANTED-A HOME.
=" Oh, it was pitiful,
In q whole city full,
Friends she had nOne,n


She was young and a pretty woman
tastefully but cheaply dressed. There was
about her an air that bespoke refinement
and timid, hesitating manner, that told Of
recent awakening to the cold and hard side o.
the world.
She came into our Office at about 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, and, with barred head, in q
trembling voice, asked instructions as to
the steps to be taken to gain admission into
one of the charitable institutions Of our city.
Such request from a woman of her ap-
pearance naturally elected inquiries, and
seeming to feel that she would receive the
sympathy she so much needed and so longed
for, she told her story.
1t was the old, old story of love and conf
dence on the one side and baseness on the
other. Love, an elopement with promises OF
marriage, and distress.
She had been alone for two months. She
had written to her brother, residing in one OF
the parishes of this State, her only living re-
lative, for assistance, and had received no
answer, and she had been turned into the
street by ,oonadn who demanded money,
and without it refused shelter.
She wanted home, she said; some place
where she could hide away; she could work,
and would work, if she but got home. She
believed that the man would come back at
some time and make his promise good, and
until he did come, she would watch and hope
and wait.
Through theiassistance of Col Bowers, ad-
mission was obtain ed for the unfortunate into
the House of the Good Shepherd, and with
the Sisters who manage that institution
she will certainly find what she sought
hnna
