kind of success which the American people Is
accustomed TO estimate highly. He missed the
great Office which was the object of bis ambi-
ton, as it has been of so many others Win no
better pretensiOns-some of them with smaller
pretensons than his. During his life he occu-
pied all the high places, short OF the highest
-he was Governor of New-York, he was long
Senator of the United States, and he held
the post of Secretary Of State during
very important era. IL is unnecessary for
us TO say that to all this service he brought
uncommon abilities or that in all his success
was moro than respectable. 1t is more inn
portant TO remember, that whatever the tunc-
tions which he might be exercising, nc kept a
good character, early won, for philanthropy
and bencvoence. He had many opponents,
even within the ranks of his own party, ana
Ike all successful men, he was the OBJECT OF
many iealousies and mistrusts; but he had also
many friends among both the great and the
obscure. Few distinguished men have been
more beloved by classes in need of sympathy
and assistance. He was regarded by them as
special champion, whether they were
Irishmen who had sought here an asylum
from miseries at home, or Africans whose hard
late IL was 10 pTONc sldfCiy hiiSh0 S~As''
IN a land Boosting of its freedom. During
almost the whole of his political life he was
called a Wing, but we had no man more
thoroughly democratic in both theory and
action. He was never afraid of his convictions.
Having fixed his premises, he was always
ready to march toward their legitimate con-
clusi0ns. Those who did not admire him,
thought this the result Of cunning design
an accusation hard to repel and hardly worth
rppelling. Public men must be judged by their
fruits; nor can the merit of uncommon ga
gacity be denied TO one who saw as Mr..
Seward did so clearly the precise course which
our politics was likely to take, so tar as the
institution of slavery was concerned.
In honoring the memory of such man we
help to preserve the tradition of what public
service should be in its thorOughness and its de-
votion to the best interests of the land. We
seem Mt times to be fast advancing toward
limbo of mediocrity, and we are tempted to
believe that the standard of character and ac-
quirement BETTING public person has become
much lower than it once was. Everything is
of service which can keep us from acquiescing
in such deterioration, if with such we are
threatened 1t is well for us, even though
there may be something erroneous in our est-
mate, to keep as green as possible the mem
DRY of those whose great public ability has
been determined by the confidence and admira-
ton of great majOrities, or of mnOrities almost
equally important.

The Greenback party in this State has passed
the day of small things, if the size of its con-
yention is a test of the size of its vote. How
ever this may be, there can be no question
that there is ample opportunity for recruiting
for this organization from the ranks of the
Democratic party in this State. The men who
were alienated by Gov. Tilden's hard-money
views and who have not been reconciIed by
his compromise with soft money, and the men
who have been driven ont of the party by his
personal policy, viii be likely to furnish a
good many voters to c, "er and Cary, whose
numbers. will be greatly increased should the
October elections make Mr.. Tilden's defeat an
absolute certainty. The convention yesterday
nominated full ticket, with an editor at the
head and approved che Indianapolis platform.

The subjects of pictures In the Art Exhibition In

planted himself before Riyiercs beautiful picture.
He was evidently greatly attracted by the figure Of

explanatory title. Finding the number, ut last, he
read with puzzled air: Ciroo and the Compan-

Nothing less than the severest measures may
have TO be used to compel physicians to report
smallpox cases to the Board Of Health. Last

then spreading in that city. The neglect in

Eigned the treaty, there will be no further

The Chinese have come to their senses in
regard to their duties to foreign Powers. Not
only have they agreed to make ample amend
for the murder of Mr.. MargaTy, but they have
likewise offered to open four more ports to
foreign trade, and to forego the bureaucracy
which was so embarrassing to ministers and
eonsuls. This news comes opportunely, since
we need larger foreign markets and require
tea and silk on more reasonable terms than
war would allow.

Mr. Blaine has begun his good work in Ohio.
His first speech seeks to enlghten the people
of that State as to the magnitude of the Rebel
claims now pending in the Democratic House,
and the lack of constitutional limitations IN
their way. His reference TO the recent decision
of Judge Clifford will probably convince many
doubters that Mr.. Tildens reported position
that the Union soldiers might be sued for
trespass on Southern soil is shared by other
Democrats scarcely less distinguished

DR.. Boards paper read at the meeting OF
the American Association for the Cure of
Inebriatcs draws a line of distinction between
intemperance and inebriety, and attributes the
latter to a nervous malady. The cause OF the
nervous disease is in turn found partly
in our climate. All this must be con-
soling to the inebIiates and their friends.
The worst that they arc threatened with is
that they will be gradually eliminated from
the race by process of natural selection.

The Judgment Creditors.

The parties to whom the parish Of
Natcllitoches is indebted, whether
justly or unjustly must look to the
Courts for final adjustment and SET
Element of their claims, and the at
tempt to lug this question into the
present canvass, as belonging to it, Is
simply absurd, and bears falsehood
on its face, and stamps those engaged
in trying to do such thing as ma
licious falsi6ers, and not entitled to
belief iu any community Of !especta'
bic people. What has the Judgment
Tax to do with the political issues
presented to the people Of this parish,
this year7 Does it enter into any
part Of tho subject matter for their
consideration? Does any one pro-
pose to discuss this subject, which
alone the Courts can decide? Is it
an opposite question to be settled by
dispntation before the people, i'll a
great and important election like
unto the ono we are preparing for !
For what have Courts been created,
if not to take cognizance Of just sac''
vexcd and complicated affairs rs the
one aboveS
This attempt Of the Radical leaders
to ip.erject this Judgment Tax bust
ness into the canvass for the purpose
Of dividing our people will prore a
very vain and futile movement, and
will in no way lead orr people from
the track Of their vile deeds, bnt on
the contrary, must make them more
determined than ever, to put such
men where they will be forever pow
erless for harm again.
There is not single honest judg.
ment holder in this parish, who is not
perfectly willing to submit lis claim
to the arbitration of the Courts, and
abide their decision, and whether
| such decision may he for, or against
him, he will quietly submit as a good
and law abiding citizen should
Therefore, it is a SANDER npon the
intelligent voters of this parish, 70,
these Radical harpies to endeavol
to get up this discussion in order tt
excite the people Of the country
against few gentlemen here in town
who happen to be Judgment-holders
but we say to them now, and tim'
will prove our prediction to he true
that they are mistaken in the feel
ings and temper Of the people, ant
more interesting questions than tn
Judgment Taz have to be settled
before any sach extaneous matter

those so deeply and vitality concerned

Through the kindness Of Jas. A.
Gresham, Bookseller and Stationer,
No. 80 Camp Street, New Orleans,
We received Daniel Dennett's work,
entitled Louisiana As It 1s." We
have not had the time to read it
through, but glancing over its pages,
We fluid he has classed Natcllitoches
parish as one of the "Piny woods
parishes" and nothing extra in that
classification. No doubt the work il
very accurate in regard to Southern
Louisiana, but when he calls Natchi-
toches a ''piney woods parish" We
are at once seized with the idea that
be does not know what he is writing
about, and you'd advise him to make
a trip through this section of country,
and rewrite this part of bis other
Wise, interesting book.

More Radical Rascality!
The Records of the Court Pur-
Joined!
LET NO GUILTY MAN BE PUNISHED

The District Attorney, J. NJ. b.
Tucker, looking over the records Of
the Court, in the Clerks Office, was
made aware of the fact. that the in
dictments against Van Dusen, II. C..
Myers, and fifteen others, had been
feloniously distracted from the Of
fee, and no account could be given of
their whereabouts!
District Court is to begin here next
month, and these worthless have ta-
ken this step to escape legal consc-
quences, Of which they stand i'll some
dread. The disappearance Of these
indictments arc not fatal to the pros
ecutiou, we presume, and it is to be
hoped that the officers of the law
will put them to the benefit Of a Wig.
orons criminal snit.
Judge Chaplin should remove the
Incompetent Clerk, and appoint some
one who will do lis duty according to
tie oath of Office taken on assuming
its functions.
