That's thequestion! The Beeeher-
Triton business is too much written,
and too paroxysmal for this hot
weather. Politics! 1t won't do to
waste orr strength On that subject
Until the campaign opens; when we
expect to run with the hounds and
be In at the death of-Radicalism-
The Church! We havn!tyet decid-
ed which branch to patroniEe. Crops!
They don't need writing about; they
are taking care Of themselves, doing
well, cheering the granger's heart
with their good looks: but need the
showers of heaven much more than
they do printers ink The Courts!
Lawyers are lying about loose, and
the Temple of Justice Is deserted;-
wehave not interviewed any of our
young men lately on their branch Of
the subject!
Newspapers! Yes; the Bossier
Banner is great paper-considerin
its opportunities and surroundings :.
having no press dispatches daily to
publish weekly. The Shreveport
Times is an institution in North LOU
isiana, and has six times the advan-
tage Of the Banher-being published
daily--and has two editorial heads
torub together, which may account,
10 some extent, for the way it makes
the sparks fly when it hits a Radical
figure head. The Mobile Register
Col. John Forsyth's paper-we can't
do it or him Justice IF we could have
the credit for the editorials of the
Register for six months, we wouldn't
want to write any more. The Qua
chita Telegraph =. McCranie don't
need big Sheet to spread ont his
thoughts on, for he can say more, and
hit harder lii fewer words, than any
editor within our knowledge. For
eign papers-(we are province down
here.) The New York Tribune is a
tall paper, published in tall house,
and has a volume in every issue; but
we sometimes think that in White
laws efforts to fill Mr.. Greeiey,s cid
white hat, he may find himself some
day In the fix OF the frog in the fable.
The New York Sun! When we get
to unearthing Radicalism generally
in this State, we want to borrow the
sSun-thcives have no chance where
it sends its rays into the dark places
where they burrow. The New York
World, for simon-pure, consistent,
unadulterated Democracy, has few
equals and no superior; only We dc
) not see the province of Louisiana ON
its globe as often as we would desire.
The Democratic Waterman, of Belle
fOnte, Penn, is clean, nice sheet
has q good word occasionally for the
down-trodden, prosecuted South !;
! calls things by their right name
sound in politics-is neither very
MEEK nor very FEuRY-ous. 1t might
possibly be improved by having the
name of the Hon. jeremiah s. Black
q the keystone State, at its mast
head for Presidentin 1876. He is not
our choice, but he is q great mana
very great man-to have been reared
IN the hills Of Somerset county, and
Z ne We're President, the Southern
Mates would soon have their rights
under the Constitution. But the
Wstchman reflects our sentiments,
sAen it favors Presidential candi-
asfrpm the West. The great West
safitled to the head of the ticket
= time; and, in our humble opin-
e, Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks, OF
tnR'ana, should be our National
noafti- bearer-he is q Democrat
