!. HJ The tide of immigration to
California appears to continue una
bated, Notwithstanding the unfavor-
able reports from that section, and
the warnings which are sounded that
the country is full and Overlooking
with impecunious laborers. Train
after train, filled with people-men,
women and children--from tile East
ern States, Ego West, young man,
every week. The seekers after the
land of promise, are not unfrequently
met by returning pilgrims, who re-
late their sad experience on the gold
en- shores of the Pacific, where there
are SO many moneyless humans un-
successfully trying to obtain employ
ment. These tales of suffering do
not frighten the immigrants, who
say they are fleeing from a land of
grasshoppers and blight; and they
prefer taking chances of wrestling
with a tickle fortune beyond the
Sierras to remaining in country
where starvation stares them in the
face. Then let them come to Louisi-
ana. Here we have employment for
the unemployed; productive soil
that will readily ''laugh with har-
vest if you tickle it with hoe" and
untold natural advantages" patient
ly awaiting development. Truly is
Louisiana the poor mans paradise
agriculturally speaking at least. Yet
hardly voice is raised, hand turn
ed or dollar invested to sucure i'm
migration. sE.T5

IA Judge Porter, in his argument
for Beecher, in the great trial, does
not spare Tilton and Moulton in his
characterizations, and he has not
sufficient adjectives at his command
to. exhibit his admiration of Henry
Ward Beecher. If "a newspaper edi-
tor were to initiate great attorney
in his superlative style of personali-
ties, even in the hight of political
campaign, he would be the butt of
journalism; but the star lawyer new
er hesitates to paint his client in the
most gorgeous colors, irrespective of
fact Or reason. Whether such treat
ment has any effect upon the ordina-
ry juryman, it is hard to determine.
tits probable, however, that the
average client is pleased with such
public putting, and as he pays his
money for it, it would be cruel to de-
ny him this satisfaction. aa

0 The BOSsier Banner cOnfesses
that it hasheretotore been somewhat
weakened, but there is no time for
side-shows, and that in the great
and nsofnentous campaign now loom
ing up We must be outspokenly for
or against the Democratic party
Claiborne Advocate.
He must have optics keen I ween,
7e see what is not TO be seem
The Banner never made the "weak-
kneed" part of the above confession.
Wequote from our issue of the 18th !:
I'm the future, we shall stand
where we have always stood-une-
quivocAlly and unwaveringly within
the ranks of the Democratic party
TO that party we yield our obedience
and our ioyalty-promising to wan
der after strange gods no more"
Our language-"wandering after
strange gods"-will not admit of any
other construction than that, we
would not again consent, as in 1872
and 1874, to the disruption and disin-
tegration of the Democratic party,
but would enter the canvass of 1876
only as Democrat, recognizing no
other party authority or discipline.
Buff the Advocate means waver-
ing Or hating in our opposition to
Radicalism, it is guilty of a gross
Misrepresentation. tits true that the
Banner has never violently clammor-
ed after Radical gore, but the faith it
has, and its adoption tried, it has
grappled to its soul with hooks of
STEEL" and it has ever been wary of
departing from it to follow every new
fledgling of "departurist" whe inn
AGNES he has found the true philoso-
piers stone whenever new politi.
cal agony" is christened.
In speaking of the Banner, we
would have our friends to ssnothing
extenuate, nor aught set down in
malice" We are not ashamed of our
record-in fact, we are rather proud
OF the position of the Banner from its
endorsement of the Charleston split,
In 1860, up to date. We have not
been violent or extreme of late, but
we have been awkwardly consistent.

crag nor the shadow neither, for Il was
Just sunrise when we got there, as II o
purpose for us; and once we'd made it
out we hardly waited to take breath be.
fore We were at 1t tooth and nail.
The first day was singular blank one
till Just towards shutdown, when the POrti.
gee sCreeChed out suddenly that he had
got something heavy. l helped him to
haul up the pan, and there, sure enough,
was bar Of gold over foot long, and
ptetty nigh as thick as my two fingers
here, At that We all shouted at once, and
went at it harder than ever; and ! really
think our chaps would have worked all
night, but Seth stopped EN-. He told EN-
that the gold wouldn't run away, and that
II they put on too much steam at first
they'd Just knock themselves up before
they were hall through, and that they'd
better Just light fire and get dried, and
have some supper, and fix up some kind
OF shelter against the dew, and then start
fair next morning. So they did.
The next day and the next and the next
after that we kept bringing i up IN hand
iuls-gold circlCts and chains and neck
laces and ingots without end. But on the
fifth day found the provisions getting so
low that was rather scared, for up here
there was no game Of any sort, there being
no vegetation ut that height Tor the game
to live on, So we held council OF war.
Our chaps had got the gold fever so into
their blood by this time that | verify be-
lieve they'd have kept diggingOn till they
died Of hunger but Seth and !, who were
a little cooler, talked them over at last.
We told EN- that we d got enough already
to make US oil M rich az Jews, that We
must all starye II we didn't replenish our
stock somehow; that ten TO one the Sind"
was played out land, indeed, none oil us
had taken grain all that morning.; and
that, in any case, the lake was always
there, and they could come back and try
again whenever they liked, So, bit by bit,
we worked EN- round, and all started to
50 back together.
We'd hard work OF ii the first part Of
the way, for our loads were pretty heavy,
and stumbling In and out Of these great
rocks was no Joke, lei alone that the five
days work had taken It out Of us more
than we expected. One Of the Spaniards
got bad fall, and not one OF US but had
his bruise to show, But ut last we got
over the barren bit, and found ourselves
fairly down among the woods again; and
then l began to be jolly, thinking this was
the end Of 1t, But II waSn't--it was only
the beginning.
