Speaker Blaine's Dilemma.
IN, Y, World.l

Mr.. Blaine knows that every magnifyine
of the murders and lawlessness Of the South
makes against the authors AMI enforcers OF
the system which has led to these things. II
| the people OF Louisiana were, indeed, become
| banditti, the fact would be the most terrible
| OF indictments against the laws Of Congress-,
the acts of the Administration, and the in
fanny of the carpet-baggers which were able
to degrade the fair commonwealth down to a
condiuon lower than it occupied under the
Spanish dominion, and when Lafttes pi-
rates harbored in Barataria Bay and spent
their money in New Orleans.
II the air were full of assassination, it would
simply show that desperate people had been
driven to what is universally the last resort
against tyranny and oppression too monstrous
to be endured, yet too strong to be openly re-
sisted MIR. Blaine sees all this, and he knows
that if Sheridan and Morton could convince
the country that MARI and McEnery were as
sasslns they would still more conclusively be
demonstrating that the Metternichs at Wash
ington had been sending their Haynaus into
Louisiana to support petty usurper on his
throne. This is dilemma by which the
Speaker declines to be gored.
You can't always believe what man SAYS
any more than you can judge of his heart BY
the clothing he wears. The other night a
policeman in the East End grabbed negro
who came running down the street at full
speed, painting like wind broken horse and
the officer wanted to know why and where
fore the colored man was busting around in |
that lively style at midnight's solemn hour
"Wife's sick 49, gwine for the doctor !" |
gasped the man.
"Where do you live?'
Lemme go-can't stop she's NOSE deadr |
was the answer; yet in spite of this the officer
pushed the African up against the fence, and |
a search brought to Light two chickens,
clothes-line, a Ratchet and pair Of boots,
the same the property OF some other man.

Charles Francis Adams is lecturing on
railroads and related subjects, to Bostonians.
Ia his last lecture, .jRailroad Accidents"
he expressed the belief that railroad super
intendent should be hung for employing in
competent men, which, in such a risky bust
ness, is probably true doctrine. AS to the
chances Of being mashed up or crippled, Mr..
Adams stated that if person was born on
car and would travel nine miles a minute. the
chances were that he would not be killed
until he was seventy years old, and that he
would travel twenty millions Of miles before
he received any injury. This is quite en-
couraging, but few persons would like to bet
on it.

A VALENTINE.
I heard the song Of a startling,
Winging its arrowy fight;
But sweeter by far, my darling,
Was the song in my heart last night.
Ror memory thrilled me, stirred me;
The blood leaped in each vein,
And longed for the hour to come, love,
When your arms might clasp me again
When your lips shall be pressed to mine, love,
While our eyes grow softly bright,
And we reck not Of future or past, love,
While our senses reel with delight
This song that my heart is singing,
Hath melody divine;
For it tells me- over and over,
That your warmest love is ntine'
And shall believe it, my darling
This story, too sweet to tell,
Far sweeter than song Of the startling,
Or chime of the vesper bell!
1}ut the bird would die, if its music
Found never answering tone;
Ind my heart ,cW break, if lis singing
Meet no ecl.oing strain from yo,r o,on'

Vetoed.

The only act of the extra session
of the Legislature Of public charac-
ter worthy of notice, which had any
promise of benatt or relief to the
people was the one extending the
time for collection Of delinquent taxes,
and that was so encountered with
clauses which Gov. Kellogg consider.
cd so injurious to the credit of the
State and unjust to its creditors as to
require his veto; and thus the labors
of the Legislature, which cost the
people thousands of dollars, are
entirely fruitless. We are not suf-
fciently acquainted with the financial
condition Of the State or its necessary
expenses to decide whether the course
: pursued by the Governor was wise
or not, but are inclined to think it
was. Many of the people need all
the relief they can get, but it should
not be given to the injury Of the
credit of the State.
The relief the people need is hot so
much the extension of the time for
the payment of their taxes as a
reduction of the taxes themselves;
Retrencnment is the great want OF
the State. There are too many Of
ficcrs, with their hordes of parasites,
and the salaries Of those who are
actually necessary are too great
Here is tho place to begin by abolish
ing useless Offices, curtaiIing salaries
aud fees, and then stop the leak
through which runs appropriations to
fraudulent jobs and monopolics

Monroe Trade.

The Telegraph Of the 18th, has o
very sensible article on this subject,
which the merchants of that city
would do well to consider The ideas
are correct and sound, and the sug-
gestion to organize board Of trade,
instead Of struggling against each
other in a selfish manner, is good
one. Monroe is a city of sufficient
commercial Importance to have such
an organization. "Competition is the
life of trade" but it should be con-
duc;ed on business principles and in
such manner as to do no injury to
others and to b lid up the business
of the town. Monroe is said now to
he one of the cheapest dry goods and
grocery markets in this country, and
its merchants should combine to keep
its reputation up.

Why not Have Canals {?

The subject OF constructing a canal
or system of canals through Tcnnes-
see, Alabama and Georgia is still
being agitated The rouTe selected is
from river 10 river, through mountains,
hills and rocks and vet it has been
pronounced feasible, and will no
doubt one day be demonstrated by
the actual construction of the canals.
Now the question naturally presents
itself to our mind, if such an enterprise
as that is at all practicable, would not
Il system Of canals in this State be
much more so? The natural advant-
ages here are much greater. The
country is level, with 10 rocks to be
lila: I'd, and an abundance of water
to supply all the canals tLat might
be built. In fact there is nothing but
va OF CAPT al and enterprise to pre-
vent all the alluvial country Of Louis
ina b,ing interscctcd by a complete
network Of canals. They could DO
built AMI kept up at less exp 'nse than
in any country on the continent, be-
cause the labor in cutting them would
be less and fewer locks would be
required, the soil and clay being
easily cut and free of rock and the
country level.
If it pays to build canals in any
country it certainly would in this, for
the reasons above stated and besides,
we believe that few canals, cut in
the proper places, would serve to a
great extent as protection against
overflow.
We have mentioned this subject on a
former occasion and would like to have
the opinion Of others on the subject.
Our former remarks did not seem to
attract any notice whatever, but that
by no means convinced us that our
theory was incorrect or ideas false,
nor will we he convinced that such is
the case except by actual experiment
or the declaration of practical
engineers, after thorough investiga-
ton and correct demonstration.

One probable benefit to be derived
fro m the Wheeler compromise is, that
hereafter person will perhaps be al
lowed TO enter upon the discharge OF
the duties of the office to which be is
elected that elections will not be

heretofore has been the eyaSpcrating
practice of setting aside elections,
dcfraudng the people Of their elective
franchise by forcing from Office the
men they have elected, and installing
in their stead men of base character
and obnoxious to the people; and it
is no wonder that the people seemed
disposed to acts of violence accession
ally, but the only wonder is that they
bore it as long as they did.
I We do not know that the conserv.
atives or democrats would not have
resorted to the same system of fraud
and treason to tie people, if they had
been in power as the republicans, but
we do not believe they would; if We
did we would belong to no party, fol

And as there is probability of tho

What Wheeler says ADOut 1t.

| There was great hue and cry
raised by the radical press that the
conservatives of this state had acted
in bad faith and violated the terms
of the Wheeler adjustment. in admit
ting to the Legislature four con-
serva,ives who were elected, and
declared so 10 have been by the
republican returning board, and turn,
ing out the four republicans who were
admitted into the Hahn House in
order to make q quorum, without
having made any claim to having been
elected. OF cSurse every one knew
that it was not violation of the
terms of the adjustment, but we did
not know what Mr.. Wheeler would
say about it, or that be would say
anything about il. He, however, has
had say, and fully su>tains the
action Of the House He SAYS the
intention of the committee was not to
Gcbar those who were elected from
taking their seats, Lut TO have them
admitted. In rendering their decision
it was their intention that all who
were elected should have their seats,
and to this end they named certain
parties who were not declared elected
and took it for granted that there
would be no attempt made TO keep
out those of the conservatives who
were.
In making this statement, Mr.
Wheeler, who was prime mover in
the adjustment, certainly knows o.
what he speaks, and he cannot be ac-
cuscd of being influenced by party
prejudice or party motives for he is a
Jealous republican, who would do
anything which he could consistently
for the advancement of the interests
of his party.

4 Branch Road.

The question of building branch
road from some point on the Nicks-
burg, Shreveport and Texas road to
Farmcrville, has been agitated by the
people Of Union parish, and the
Eickshurg Herald, while it encourages
the movement, reminds the citizens
of Vicksburg that it is their interest
To assist in the construction of the
projected road 1t is to be desired
that the enterprise may not end in
talk, but that the road may actually
he built, as it would prove Of incalcu-
liable benefit to the people of Union,
by giving them rapid transportation
and freeing them from the high tariff
of the little D'Arbon boats; that is
if the v, s. & T.. road is carried
forward to the point at which it is to
be intcrscctcd by this branch road.
This branch road should be a mar.
row guage, as the construction and
stocking of such a road cost much
less, and its capacity would be suf
ficicnt for the business it would get.
We are glad to hear of projected
improvements as signs of there being
life in the land yet, and hope that
many of them will yet he consum-
mated.
