PACKARD REDIVIVUS.

This general mischief-maker and chronic
disturber Of Louisiana, Boss Packard, is at bis
old tricks again. Instead Of attending to his
duties as United States Marshal, and letting
Louisiana politics alone, this srch-intriguel
is try ing to create another muddle, and We find
in yesterdays Republican that he has been
telegraphing Mr.. w. P. Frye for his opinio.
on the unseating Of four Republican members
not mentioned in the award to go out.
The accommodating Frye, of course, re.
spends in unison with Packards leading
question, and improves the opportunity tc
say that "the Democrats violate good faith
ard their plighted honor in their Outrageous
attempt" Expressions which, emaLatin2
as they do from an individual whose sense OF
honor and regard for truth and justice were
shown by his minority report to be SO con-
spicuously wanting, will be looked upon as
rather complimentary by the honorable gen
tlemen against whom they are hurled by
Packard's friend.
Mr.. Wheeler, who was also Geographically
intervie we'd 10y the sef-appointed Supervisor
General OF Louisiana aff.irs, made q rather
non -committal reply, which does not seem to
have proved quite as satisfactory to our Gus
tom-House Warwick as that OF the classical
Frye.
The whole secret of this new installment Of
Packardian intermeddling with our State
Legislature, lies in the fact that this ali per-
vading Federal official wanted to 90 to the
United States Senate in the place Of Pinch
back, whose rejection in December next he
considers certain, and that the admission of
the four members Of the House. whom even
the Anderson Wells Returning Board had de-
clared elected, destroys the Radical majority
on JOINT ballot, and thereby puts an extin-
guisher on the Senatorial aspirations of the
Unsuitable and irrepresslble Custom House
Boss.
Packard is devilish sly individual, but
with all his Yankee smartness he does not
realize the fact that the people Of Louisiana
have had enough of his perpetual interference
in their domestic concerns, and that they
candidly believe they are quite able to man
AGE their affairs without craving his permits
sion.
We are not in love with Packard, but still
think we are giving b i'm friendly advice when
We tell him that the sooner he returns to his
congenal occupation of overrunning the
State with deputies Of the See!ye pattern and
lets the Legislature alone, the better it will be
for him in the end. He has run the machine
long enough in all conscience, and should
now retire upon the laurels he won in the last
election.

THE STATE CENSUS OF 1875.

All readers of the BULLETIN are respect
fully reminded that, in &C ,ordance with the
twentieth article of the second title of the
Constitution of the State, u census Of her
population is to be taken this year.
While the so.calied act No 26 of the ses-
sion OF 1875, which prescribes the time and
manner of taking the census, is null and
void for the want of legal quorum in the
House of Representatives, the importance OF
obtaining full enumeration of our inhabit-
ants is such that we recommend acquiescence
in the measure just as if it was virtually a
law.
The officer in charge of the census has
adopted the instantaneous plan employed with
success in Great Britain aud other countries.
Under this plan blank, marked "form No.
l." will be left ut every house in the city, to
be filed up and signed by each householder
ON or before the Both Of April, giving the
name, age, sex, color, place OF birth, trade or
calling ability or inability to read and write,
whether naturalized or unnaturalized. whether
voter or not, OF each person in the house.
The blank. when filed, will give the number
of children between six and genty lone years,
the number OF persons temporarily absent,
the number of persons over eighteen who
have had the yellow fever, and the number Of
births in 1874 to which last item attention is
specially called in the circular.
The blank will bear the number and loca-
ton Of the house Mt which it is left, and of
the ward in which the house is situated.
Each circular when filled on. will be the CEN
sus for the house where it is left. All will
he gathered in On the 30th April and they
will constitute the data from which the cen
sus must be compiled. Each householder
asserts his or her return to be correct. Each
and every dwelling house must DO repre-
scented by a separate blank, and if from any
cause housckeepers refuse or neglect to fill
the blanks left at their houses the required
information must be obtained from their
neighbors.
This is in all respects cheaper, more ex-
peditious and more accurate method of taking
the census than the one hitherto followed,
but its success depends upon the intelligent
co-operatlon OF houSenOlOerS. Az lniS, us Hrsl
trial here there will be many failures on t e
part of heads Of families to take proper and
seasonable notice of the circulars left at their
houses.
Our citizens take Just pride in the rank as
signed to New Orleans iu the catalogue Of
American cities. She was classed as the
ninth by the United States census of 1870,
being outranked by eight cities, in order as
follows: New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston and
Cincinnati. Our population was then put
down at 19l, us. when it was in reality much
larger and probably not less than 100000.
The chance, are that it will again be under
estimated.

of Orleans between the different courts and
now enjoyed by the Superior District Court
alone. He said that if any one thought there
was any political question in the bill he would
strike out that portion. The jurisdiction
now enjoyed by single judge was moro than
any one court enjoyed anywhere else-all
cases against corporations, be they municipal,
insurance or any other.
! Mr.. Eustis further enlarged upon the fact
that granting all that could be claim ed for
| the Judge OF the Superior Court, it was now
but justice that the other courts should be
reopened for litigants in cases now tried
before that court. He called upon the Repub-
licans to say whether this court was Necessary
for the political success Of the party to say
SO and to put themselves on record. He ap-
pealed in the interest Of the white man and
the colored man for the Senate to open the
door of the other courts.
Whitney moved the adoption of the major
ity report.
Blackburn spoke against the adoption of
the bill, and showed how little he knows about
courts, jurisdiction and Hawkins. He said
there was nothing wrong about the Superior
District Court; it was a sort OF Solomon's
tribunal where justice e. was melted out fair
w. He taught khe Senate all about the courts
Of New Orleans aud the country too. He
scared aloft and circled around the dome Of
the Senate chamber, smiling angelically on
those below. Afeer half an hours effort he
came down looking very red in the face.
Burch favored the majority report and the
defeat of the bill very loudly. vet weakly. He
saw a horrible condition OF aff.irs il Hawkins
was sheared Of his honors
The previous question was called tor.
Anderson read the majority report.
Wharton offered an amendment that the
bill be amended so that it would except any
cases in which the Metropolitan Police, the
School Board, or the title to an office ba in
volved.
Ogden desired to explain his vote, and was
against the bill ana could not agree with
Senator Eustis
Detiege also wanted to explain his vote.
He wasn't satisfied we would have peace in
Louisiana without Hawkins.
The majority report, which kills the bill,
was carried. Is yeas, II nays.
Whitney moved to take up the third read
ing of the joint resolution suspendirg Gin
ton, and asked O suspension OF the rules.
The following committe was appointed to
draft rules for the Court Of Impeach ment:
Robertson, Burch, Eustis, Anderson and
Gla.
A motion to adjourn then prevailed, and
the Senate adjourned until tomorrow at II NJ.

Probably no compound yet invented has
stood the test of time and use like that
standard old Vermont Remedy, known for
the last forty-four years as Rev. N. II.
Downs Vegetable Balsamic Elixir. This
medicine, although invented in the days
when the virtues of many of our present
extracts were unknown, still stands at the
head of the list of the many remedies now
advertised for the cure of coughs, colds,
Group, asthma and all diseases Of the chest
and lungs.
Physicians recommend it to their pa
tients, and use it themselves. What better
proof is wanting that it is what its proprie-
tors claim for it? The fact is it is perfect
ly reliable.
1t has been weighed in the balance OF
public favor, and is pronounced sure and
positive. Those that have used it need no
assurance of ours, and those who have not
should give 1t trial, and we have no ap-
prehensions as to the the result of their
opinions.

A Correction.

Editor Rutland Globe In your issue
of Tuesday we were considerably astonish-
ed to see it announced that the Singer
sewing machine agency for Rutland and
vicinity had been transferred to T. S. Gil
son. We desire to set the public right on
this point and to assure them, that, at no
time since the opening of our branch at 81
Merchants row, have we had the slightest
intention of making any change whatever
in the management of our business in Rut-
land or its dependencies except, in such
of the latter as our facilities are inadequate
to the full and proper transaction of our
constantly increasing trade.
We can felicitate ourselves on the sue
cess that has attended our exertions here
and desire in this connection to return our
sincere thanks to the public for its gener-
GUS patronage, and in conclusion we give
all our positive assurance that so long as
there is any demand for sewing machines
we shall maintain and control our own
Office in Rutland.

"Nagging" Offenders Against the
LIQUOR Law.

Although not ourselves amenable to the
charge therein made, as an act of justice
to the aggreved parties, we give place to
the following open letter to those most d.
rectly concerned ::
Editor Of Rutland Glo6e:--I see that
some gentlemen of the press are in the
habit Of indulging frequently in jocose re-
marks about those persons, who have been
arrested and fined or otherwise punished,
for offences against the liquor law. These
Jokes, 1t seems to me, besides being gener-
ally puerile and thread bare, are neither in
good taste or in good breeding.
The object which all the earnest. honest
men have in enforcing the law is simply to
stop the selling of liquor. To add to the
legal punishment of offences, jests and
gibes directed against the persons punished,
is to say the least, ungenerous. If done
by idle vagabond street boys, 1t would
strike any one witnessing it as outrageous
and indecent and l fail to see why 1t is
any the less indecent because done by
newspaper. With all due Difference to the
Pharisees of the bedlamte faction, the
selling of liquor is not regarded by the SEN
timent of the community as particularly
heinous crime, nor do some of those inter-
ested in the traffic fail to hold up their
heads and to be treated with respect by
their fellow citizens.
The liquor law is not exactly an extract
from the Bible, nor has it yet been definite
" planted in the moral code of the world.
The law as regards the liquor traffic is at
best but mere police regulation, about the
ACCESSIBILITY of which there is serious ques-
ton and hence vendors of it do not stand
in public estimation on the same ground as
felons. Hence this continual jeering and
bounding the persons who have been fined
and have paid their fines is not only in bad
taste but smacks Of persecution, and perse-
cution always kicks back if sapling editors
but knew it. 1t there were no other reason
than the unnecessary wounding of the
feelings of those thus pursued, who have
no newspaper in their interest, and no
chance to be heard in their own defence, it
must be remembered that this continual
nagging so far from leading to respect and
obedience to law, tends to array against 1t
personal hate, as we'll as foiled interest !;
and this none but the purblind advocates
of temperance could desire or wish to do.

Postmaster at Brandon.

We are pleased to learn that Mr.. John
L. Knight, who has been the popular and
efficient clerk in the Brandon postoffice for
the past five years has been confirmed by
the senate as postmaster at Brandon in
place of George W. Parmenter, resigned.
He is young man, we learn, who possesses
the confidence of the community in which
he is to hold the responsible position to
which he has been appointed. This APP
pointment is made upon the theory OF the
civil service in taking one who has proved
himself competent for the place by previ-
GUS service and making him chief. We
congratulate Mr.. Knight that his past SER
vices have earned him the honor and the
Office. We also congratulate Congressman
Joyce that he has inaugurated civil service
in the appointment of postmasters in his
district, and trust he may continue con-
sstent advocate of the true theory of all
appointments-civil service.
