POETRY.
A New Years Wish.

1 ask one little boon
Of the New Year:
May through all its days,
Garry some cheer
To those who sit in gloom,
Weeping for loss;
To hearts that slowly break
Under cross,
l who have left my dead,
With none to care;
who have wept alone,
Facing despair
Would gladly sweeten lives,
And make them dear
This little boon ask
OF the New Year.
They best can serve the gods,
Their errands run,
Who call no love their own,
Under the sun.
Let me bear help to want,
And hope to fear;
ask no other boon
Of the New Year.l

may be surely relied on to restore health and
vigor. All else is quackery.
1t will be happy day for the American
people when our merchants and traders shall
realize the great truth that the laws OF politl-
cal economy and finance, aOstruse and COM
plicated as they may appear to the uninitiated'
are after all but comprehensive formula ap'
plying to vast and complicated interests the
obvious rules of common sense and every day
experience.
What is good for the individual is also good
for the nation, and a merchants profits are
no more enhanced if he gets two dollars IN
paper for what he used to sell for one dollar
in gold, than the national wealth IS increased
by an artificial currency which doubles the
nominal price Of every thing without add
inc ore mill to its real value. In both cases.
it is only q realization Of the old adage OF
giving up the substance to grasp at the
shadow.

Pieean women and children, would cut a
much more respectable figure fighting the
preasers and the male Indians than in en-
gazing in the disreputable game OF Radical
politics in Louisiana.
There no longer exists even the shadow Of
an excuse for quartering United States troops
in this State, unless it be to frighten the me-
eroes into obeying the behests OF Grant a
Co., and both officers and men would gain
more laurels and do their country more SER
vice on the border than in marching about
our streets.
So far as officers and men are concerned
we feel assured that active duty would be more
in consonance with their feelings and desires
than this holiday soldering in a city which
has been scourged by war and reconstruction,
and whose citizens only ask to be permitted to
pursue their peaceful avocations undisturo ed
by the blare Of trumpets and the beat of
drums.

TEE EXPORT TRADE OF GREAT
BRITAIN.

It is a well-known fact that more than half
of the exports of the United States 80 to Great
Britain, which is therefore our principal GUS
toner. This accounts for the paramount in
fiuence exersed over prices here by the fuctu-
etions Of the English market, SO that when.
ever trade is dull in the latter country it is at
once felt here by q decline in the value Of
our cotton, tobacco, grain and other staple
productions of American agriculture.
1t is very evident that whenever our trans
atlantic customers income is reduced, her
purchasing power is proportionately weak
sends abroad, the greater quantity Of cotton
and other American raw material she is able
to buy.
From an official table Of the total exports
Of Great Britain, during the two years en-
braced between the LIST of February, 1872,
and the 3lst Of January, 1874, we find that in
the first named year the total value Of the
exports in pounds sterling was f257, 800, 600,
and in the second year f236, $50, 600, falling
off of e2O,l4O,O00, or nearly ninety-nine
millions of gold dollars, decline of eight
per cent, for which, as a New York journal
truly remarks, there is no parallel in the last
thirty years, except in the year 1862, when
there was falling off Of nine per cent, caused
bv the interruption Of the cotton supply.
The paper from which We quote the fore
going exhibit remarks that one Of its results
is the effect produced thereby on our indebt-
edness in Europe In the years 1871 and
1872 the mania for building railroads derived
its main support from the credit which we
obtained in Europe and the capital consumed
was transmitted to US in the shape OF I'M
ports from foreign countries.
In the twenty-four months ended june
1873, the gold value of the merchandise I'M
ported exceeded by more than three hundred
million dollars the gold valns of our exports,
specie excluded on both sides, during the
same period. The specie which We exported
during the two years was not enough to make
good our interest account. During the twen-
tv.four months which will end on the 3Oth OF
,Jnne next the value Of our merchandise ex-
ports will be greater than tina. OF the imports
This tremendous lurch Of our foreign
trade, a.d its accompanying incidents Of the
downfall of prices and stagnation OF business
represent the difference between reckless Dor
rowing and making both ends meet. Sup
pose family accustomed to live on two
thousand dollars a year to be suddenly re-
stricted to one thousand, and you have type
Of the change which has taken place in the
situation Of the United States since 1872.
Not only was the capital Of foreigners Dor
rowed and squanlsred, but the savings Of our
own people as well, and both Europe and
America now suffer the consequences of too
rashly extending credit and too readily listen
ing to the glowing representations Of bor-
rowers. Patience, prudence and economy

The MESSAGE.

The message Of Mr.. Kellogg opens Will
fluctuations on the adjustment, reviews tht
political history Of tho State, censures the
disposition of the Legislatures OF late year
to subordinate the material interests OF the
State to partisan purposes and pecunlary as
grandize,nent, and points to the consequences
Of mistakes and wrongs, calling upon the
General Assembly to correct and remedy, OF
alleviate them, and provide guarantees that
they shall not again occur.
The message refers to the adjustment il
hopeful terms, regarding it as voluntary
! concession by each party which promises
peace, order and confidence.
1t calls for radical change in the Tresen,
mode Of assessing and cole citing taxes, which
is described as ''cumbrous, expensive and IN
just" recommending fixed salaries in lieu
Of fees.
1t recommends general repeal Of exemp-
tons from taxes Of the property OF wealthy
corporations and private citizens.
On the first of January the State delin-
quent tax list amounted to s4,2G4,OOO, Of
which 81 100, coo are still due. The message
recomme nds that measures be taken to pre-
vent such delinquency. It suggests relief
from taxation Of persons living in the re-
Gently overlooked districts.
Mr. Kellogg thinks that State taxes, with
proper measures Of reform, need not exceed
the present rate Of fourteen and half mills.
With the constitutional limitation of ex-
penses tc actual revenue, with taxes reduced,
with assessment equalized, he thinks the
burden Of tax may be easily and cheerfully
borne.
Reduction Of salaries Of State officers is
recommended.
The message refers at some length to the
excess Of expenses over revenues since 1860,
the excess being added TO the floating debt to
the extent Of four or five millions, and notes
the effect of the constitutional bar to any
further increase Of State debt
Mr.. Kellogg refers at large to the operation
of the Funding law in terms intended for the
eyes Of politicians abroad as we'll as for those
of the members of the General Assembly. He
tOlOkS THIS law anu tuo h0cuJMcutS W SA40
Constitution will bar extravagant legislation.
He renews his recommendation Of changes in
the Funding law, and suggests further
which will Empower taxpayers
and creditors OF the State to resist the fund
ing of spurious claims.
Mr.. Kellogg states the public debt to have
been, in 1873, S24, 623, 4O7, and claims that it
has since been reduced by s3,O65, OOO He
thinks the expenses of the State should not
exceed 100000 per annum, and those Of the
Legislature Sl5O,0OO. Parish judges, he
thinks, should be paid by tbs parishes. and
not 0y the State.
Respecting New Orleans the message makes
no specific recommendations, but briefly re.
views her deplorable financial condition, and
the subject to the serious con-
siierat;on of the General Assembly.
The message advises measures for the re-
moval of restrictions on commerce, and con-
cludes with renewed expressions Of hope that
good results may flow from the action of the
General Assembly.
