STATUE OF STONEWALL JACKSON.

STATUE OF STONEWALL JACKSON.
The following communication from the Gov
erpor was laid before both Houses of the Gener-
al Assembly on Thursday:
GoyERNoR's OFFICE, March Is, 1875.
10 the Senate and House Of Delegates i:
The accompanying letter from the Hon. Mr..
Hope member of the British Parliament tor
the University of Cambridge, contains lnforma-
tion which canuot fail to inspire every patriotic
Eirgiuiau with gratitude aud pride. 1t annouu-
ces that bronze statue OF heroic SIZE, designed
and executed by one of the first altlsts OF the
old world, and presenting faithful likeness OF
the immortal Thomas Jonathan jackson, Is Oh
tered, as tribute of English admiration and
sympathy, for the acceptance OF the Common
wealth. The statue is represented by coupe
tent Judges to be most imposing and beauu-
tul work of art. 1t was procured through
subscriptions spontaneously organized among
friends of Virginia in the mother country, who
admire the character aud love the memory OF
our dead hero. 1t remaiDs for the State to ac-
sept this splendid gift, and to guarantee Its
erection ou some conspicuous site within the
Capitol grounds. 1t is not doubted that the
General Assembly will promptly and approprl-
aiely recognize the munihceoce which offers
such honor to Virginia, and will make what
ever appropriation may be sufficient to receive
she statue aud erect it on a suitable pedestal. 1t
revives no animosities OF the past, 1t wounds
the sensibilites OF no good wan OF whatever
party or section, to honor aud revere the mem
ory of Jackson. All the world knows that the
earth beneath which bis body lies covers the
ashes of a patriot aud hero whose greatness
shed lustre on the age in which be lived. His
example belongs to mankind, and his deeds
and virtues will be cherished by al! the coming
generations OF the great American Republic,
a. among the proudest memorials OF common
glory. Many others are now the objects OF
higher hooors and louder praise, but when the
accidents of fortune and success shall no longer
determine the value of principles and achieve
ments, when the names of others now more ap-
plauded shall have been swept iuto oblivlon by
the hand of time, the memory OF StoneWal
jackson, like that of his great commander, will
continue to grow brighter as the centuries pass
into history.
You can make no wiser expenditure OF
money than that which serves to perpeually
recall the example of this great aud good man,
and to iucite our children to tate his vir-
tues JAMES L. KEMPEk.

statue of him which they might present to
his native country as tribute OF English
sympathy and admiration. The work was en-
trusted to most distinguished artist, the late
MIR. j. H. Foley, r. A., aud, although its
progress was delayed by the ill-heath of the
sculptor, by his conscientious desire for the ac-

it has been brought to successful conclusion
in the form OF standing statue Of heroic size,

NEW ORLEANS, JUNE 16, 1876.
THE POWER OF EXAMPLE.

The numberless evils resulting from the
practice of carrying deadly weapons have
been too often and too sadly illustrated in
New Orleans to be again set forth before the
community; but when boys who ought to be at
school follow the example of their elders, and
instead of playing leap-frog, or spinning tops,
or contesting for the possession Of marbles,
swagger about with knives and pistols, and
finally ''settle up" their tremendous differ
ences by cheerfully shooting at or carving
each other in the most approved rowdy
fashion, We feel that the end is near and that
something must be done to stop pracuce
which, to all its other disgusting features
superadds that OF being as contagious Is the
smallpox and quite as deadly.
We hold it as q self-evident truth that no
really brave man will carry deadly weapon
about his person, unless he has good reason
to anticipate an attack from known enemies,
or is compelled to walk home late at night
The ineficiency of our police IN years past
has compelled every citizen to keep revolver
or shotgun on his premises, in order to pro-
tect his family and to keep burglars away from
his house. But the staggering fellows, whose
main occupation is to obstruct the street cor
ners and stare at the ladies, and their youth
full imitators who ape their bad manners, and
ostentatiously strut around displaying knives
and pistols, should be sent, the former to the
Work House and the latter to school, with in
structions to the head master to make vigor-
GUS application of the birch "where it will do
most good" Street rowdyism is bad enough,
street fights with knife and pistol are infinite
ly worse but infant rowdyism and murder in
dictates such shocking state Of public morals,
and such shameful neglect of parental duty
that the strongest measures should be taken
to check at once the intolerable nuisance and
evil

HOMES FOR THE POOR.

Capitalists who have money lying idle in
bank, and who are afraid to invest in stocks,
except on gilt-edged collaterals, and at an
exorbitant rate of interest. should bear in
mind that New Orleans has bright future ;
that real estate is at the lowest possible ebb ;
that lumber and material Of all sorts are
cheaper than almost ever before, and that
there are thousands of laborers who are only
too anxious for work ct almost any price.
All this being true, it follows that building
must be very cheap, and it would seem
that money invested in building pretty and
comfortable homes for people in moderate
circumstances-houses that will be attractive
outside and inside, and have nice gardens
and yards attached, homes that poor people
can afford to live in and pay rent for, and per-
haps save enough to purchase in time-would
pay good interest.
There is plenty of land, urban as well as
suburban, whereon to build those pleasant
cottage homes, plenty Of people to rent them,
and we are of the opinion that our capitalists
will not only help others by investing their
means in this way, but at the same time greatly
benefit themselves. There is everything in
making house attractive and convenient, and
We believe we do not err when we state that
even in these dull times there is not one neat,
pretty and comfortable cottage house in this
city which is unoccupied-that is, if the rental
be reasonably fair.
