Who Abolised imprisonment for Debt9

One of the grandest triumphs ever ac-
hieved by the Democracy was wiping from
the salute book the law authorizing the
imprisonment of a man for debt. Until 1888
a man in debt was treated as q felon, and
imprisoned in common Jail till the debt
was paid Richard NJ, johnson, Dem
ocrrtic United States 8 euator from Ken
lucky, introduced bill in the senate to
abolish imprisonment for debt on iudg-
ments taken in the courts of the United
States. After years of struggle, impris-
onment for such debts was abolished,
through the combined action Of the De
mocracy in congress, despite the earnest
opposition of their political opponents
Every state followed the example set by
congress, and it is wholly owing to the
Democratic party that men in debt are not
now treated like felons. This scrap from
history is worthy of consideration.

forces at the national capital, and there
consummate the '.peace policy" which
Mcclellan headed in 1853. The good
natured voters of the North seem
inclined to favor this remarkable
reunion, and it is likely to come off in
1876. This reunion carries with it the
control of the vast patronage of the gen.
eral government, the control of the armv
and navy Of the Union, and the appoint
ments of consular and diplomatic
agents abroad. Thus the enemies of
emancipation, the enemies of the war, the
enemies of the American Union, will
finish the work they fought to defeat;
thus the leaders of the Confederate arts.
tocracy of the South are to finally crown
the cause of humanity. A wonderful
sight, truly. And SO the War Democrats
of the North and the War Confederates of
the South have been right during all the
''unpleasantness" which has disturbed
the nation since 1860. What a relief it is
to every generous mind to find out what
is wrong, when trying to do that which
is right.

bestowed this power of distribution. Let
not mere almoner of the means of others
think this trust his own. It will be NO
compensation to have enriched every
personal friend and left the real benefac-
tor-the party-to bear the obloquy of an
abused trust. 1t should be subject OF
ineffable pain to feel that principles con-
secrated by popular adoption had been
paralyzed by the incompetency of those to
whom they had been committed.
There is, then, weight of responsible
ity resting upon the appointing power,
which all who may be called to exercise
it, even in the most subordinate capacity,
should consider. No man should be ap-
pointed to any Office, who is not, in the
first place, sound in his conception of the
principles of the party to which he be-
longs; and, in the next place, no man
should be appointed to Office who can not
benefit the party, at least, to the extent of
performing the duties of his Office, with
ability, integrity and civility.
Patronage properly bestowed makes a
party stronger by illustrating its prin-
ciples. Patronage badly bestowed will
bring party to shame. 1t may drive it
from power and install in the succession
the most opposite doctrine and the most
obnoxious men. If party is entitled to
fill all the offices, it is due alike to the
party and to the public that they should
be filled by none but competent men.

THE CROP PROSPECT.

1t is the opening month of summer.
The climate brings the season of ready
heat and fertilizing showers, and the Gre
atiye force of nature rapidly presses for
wa>d the invaluable, crops upon which
depend not merely tt, subsistence of our
own people, but Educational credit and
prosperity. These d tural powers of soil
and sun would efaSt little but for the
systematic and skilE,ul labor which rem
ders them useful. u 9Th this gladdening
prospect of rewardeftndustry, all is har-
monious. The vii Il or colored man at
the plow or hoe giEsSalue to the other
wise unproductive + esources of nature.
To what is this tassiorable prospect prin-
cipally due. We at5wer, to the harmony
of capital and labE 1t will be said that
these elements = :! reciprocally indis-
pensable to each H)ther. As general
principle this III true; but in its
application to the 3sriculture Of Louisiana
1t is greatly qualiffsi. The land is worth
little without lats, Granted. Labor
must perish withoJt--land. This does not
follow, first, becau +, the land can not be
moved, while the l. }or may take the boat
or rail, and exchanfe its toll for subsis-
tence on land elsfwhere; second, labor
may be employed h other than agricuI-
tural pursuits. 5
It is not impl9per, then, to assume
the superior dependence Of land on labor
in this State. Land is at lower rate
than labor, because land is greatly in
excess of labor. There is estim ated to
be only one arabic and inclos ed acre of
every twelve in Louisiana. There is then
surplus of land and a deficiency of
labor. To attach and attract this labor

apparently the only kind which can be
hired to work for another in this CHM
ate-would require justice and kindness
in all the relations which labor can pos
sibly bear to capital. The white people
feel CRATE full to and dependent upon
the colored laborers at present.
They will continue go until the appetite
for Office shall be arrested. The crop
secured beyond the necessity for
labor, the vision Of Democratic
President heading procession OF
oficeholders, ri ses before the eyes of the
Leaguers. The whole relation toward
the laborer has changed, and he who was
so sought and so commended when the
sun shone hot and the coco grass in
vaded the cotton field, has now to keep
shady, lest he be deprived of the rights
of suffrage and existence by the Sirens
discharge of the shotgun.
We hope for better things. We trust
that capital will protect labor, educate
labor, Christianize labor. aid labor with
capital of its own, and attach labor to
land by the highest possible tenure-that
Of ownership. This desire and the pros
pect of the crop will be verified in the
harvest, not merely of crop products, but
of kin dness and harmony between the
owner and tiller of the soil. Especially
will it be happy for Louisiana when both
the owner and tiller of the soil shall be
united in the same industrious indi-

THE WAR DEMOCRACY OF THE NORTH

THE SOUTH.

We hear great deal about the War
Democrats Of the North What did thew
hight for during the late war? For peace
which would reconcile jeff Davis to the

coin IL disgrace from Washington. General
Mcclellan was the political leader of these
War Democrats then, as he is an bonored
member of the party now. What was the
difference between these War Democrats
OF the North and The War Confederates
during the period Of hostilities? The
only difference was that one party wore
gray, and the other blue; one drew rations
from Washington, and the other from
Richmond. But during all the fighting
the War Confederates of the Soutb and
the War Democrats of the North were in
constant communication and in perfect
sympathy. There is now an indication
that these worthy people will soon unite

let the Bulletin turn from the attack upon
