delphia, who was in Baltimore on

very brilliant, especially by gaslight.

in diameter, or the size of hickory
nut, and has sixty face sides, each
of which reflects the light. 1t at
present composes the set of q heavy

WkNTED---A NAN.

When Saul went out to seek his fathers
asses he found, instead, people who were
willing to make him their king. This was
at the time, and always has been since,
considered an equivalent. The Jewish
Democracy, like that of the present day,
had no well defined principles of govern
ment. The leading idea was to drive the
Philistines out of their possessions and
confscate their corn and wine and other
good things. And though young Saul was
entirely unskilled in craftsmanship, yet he
was head and shoulders taller than any
other Israelite, and they chose him for his
availability. Though the choice was in
some manner inspired, and sanctioned by
the Seer Samuel, It was not very wise
one, as the sequel proved. The Philis-
tines finally proved too many for Saul.
md O. be bad no policy Of Internal gov
and consequently no union Of
strength, he was finally ovsfpowered and

The Hawaiian treaty discussions at the
national capital have demonstrated, be-
yond any doubt whatever, one very i'm
portant fact. If Louisiana sugar and
rice are to receive continued protection
against foreign competition it must come
through the medium of the Republican
party. So long, therefore, as this State is
in accord with the great party of re-
form, our planters and the merchants who
depend upon their products may con-
slider themselves reasonably safe. Re-
publicans North will accord justice to
their Republican brethren South. But
let the government be transferred to the
Democracy, and this protective sympathy
would Of necessity terminate. Handed
over to the tender mercies of the North
ern Democracy, the prompt passage of
the Hawaiian job in the House shows
what treatment our vital interests will re-
receive.
A prominent Republican Senator de-
clared the other day: Il am not satisfied
that protective duty on sugar and rice is
essential to the Republicans Of Louisiana,
while it certainly is to the Democrats. If
the State should be wrested from Repub-
lican control by violence and fraud, I for
one would be in favor of the experiment
being tried. The Republicans are mainly
agricultural laborers, working for small
wages, and in gangs, for the large plant
ers. If free sugar and rice should break
up this system, the individual Republican
would be enabled-aye, forced-to secure
. small farm, and by diversifying its pro-
ducts would achieve an independence and
not permissible under exist
ing circumstances. Is it not plainly the
duty Of the planting Glasses to assist in
securing good Republican government

THE DOCTORS DISAGREE.

The Democrat issues to the CONSTANTS
Democracy command to insist that the
whole decline OF New Orleans has beer
caused by misrule Of what it calls the
Radical party. After having recited the
alleged extravaganza Of the State officials,
it concludes:
We ask the sensible workingmen of New
Orleans if these facts do not explain to
them the cause of their Distress?
Now, these sensible workingmen do not
belong especially to any who may print
proclamation Of obedience. These
sensible workingmen will say: Grant your
premises. Our taxes to the State are one
fourth that which we pay the city. In
the official journal there appears nearly
four columns Of property advertised to be
sold by the hands and commissions of
Democratic sheriff, at the suit Of 'sthe city
of New Orleans" against its citizens.
There are also advertisements of property
to be sold at the suit of the State. A
sensible workingman knows that if his
property be advertised for one dollar due
the State and for four dollars due the
city, tho State authorities can not be re-
sponsible for the whole Of his indebted
ness.
Another Democratic organ gives q
different explanation of the same decline.
The Bulletin says:
Established near the mouth of the great
est Of rivers, into which empty nearly all
the navigable streams Of the North Ameri-
can continent. blessed with genial and tenn

PROPER SYMPATHY.
A Philadelphia, paper says:


We deprecate any injustice to the Speak
or of the House. He is just now in . most
perplexirg dilemma. To Q we'll man it would
be exciting and annoying, but to one In Mr..
Kerr's delicate health, it threatens physical
danger.
We appreciate this respectful consider
alton of the physical weakness of Mr..
Kerr. We have heretofore expressed the
wish that there should be an impartial in
vestigation of the charges against him.
We have not, as have some Democratic
dispatches, head-lined a charge against
an official as an established imputation.
What, however, will the Philadelphia
paper say of the tone of some Democratic
country papers toward Senator Twitchell?
He is treated as convicted culpit. The
cowardly attempt of assassination has
excited no Democratic sympathy-the
miserable condition of a man in the
prime of life mutilated of both arms,
without symptom of sympathy from his
neighbors who differ with him in politics,
without the arrest of his masked MUIR
derer who slew another Republican in
attempting the life of Senator Twitchell
The Property Holders Association, al
most while this unfortunate man was
under the amputation, sent, at the request
Of the Coushatta authorities, extracts
from the department of public education,
q statement of the school fund with which
Senator Twitchell had some official con-
necuon. We know and care nothing for
the balance for or against the Coushatta
school officials. To have engaged in an
investigation Of tho affairs of an innocent
man stretched on the operation table for
the amputation Of an arm would be a
of public vigilance as un-
timely as it would be cruel. In the words
of the Philadelphia philanthropist:
To q we'll man it would be exciting and
annoying, but to one in Mr.. Twitchel's deli
cate health it threatens physical danger.

experimsntalists?
The last few numbers Of the Sunday
Democrat have nvaled the Days Doings
and the Police Gazette in ssulcerations'' Of
nude women and awkward men, put into
scenes intended to DO commentaries upon
passing events. Little wit or wisdom has
yet been evolved in these efforts; but its
artists latest production, in the hiro-
glyphic style. contains points which the
taxpayer will not fail to appreciate, and
which the voters generally should lay to
heart next November.
In it our State is represented as crushed
down into perfect slough of despond"
by q mountain Of granite-her debt
Radicalism is assailing this oppressive
burden ''tooth and toe NAIL" and has
already dislodged and is casting down one
gigantic block of the heap labeled "Chat-
tanooga bonds" This is highly compli-
mentary of Governor Kellogg's financial
policy which has so materially reduced
the State debt, restored her credit and
cut down taxation.
On the other hand, Democracy makes
its debut on the scene in the attitude rem
dered SO familiar by greater artists as that
of the bribe-taker and snatcher of fat
things. With outstretched hand and
averted eyes, Democracy virtually says to
Louisiana-a lusty and buxum damsel
without pull-back-'Just fill my palm
and Ill see nothing" Louisiana, the
deceitful mink, is pictured as holding out
her left hand in . yielding sort of way;
but concealed behind her, in the right,
she Yields long club and plainly means
to give Democracy telling thwack for
daring to hint even at such base pro-
posals.
On the whole, the Democrats picture
maker has done pretty we'll. and it is to
be hoped he will let his genius expand
some more On t.lis healthful subject.

sibility for the depression Of the mechan-
ical industries. Those who are supposed
to be maddened by the want Of wages
may be thus 90 incensed against the al
legged authors of their misfortune that
they will come in armed professions,
shoot down all the ruinous Radicals, in
stall their Democratic leaders, and thus
the undoubted distress of the mechanical
class can be utilized for political revolu-
ton.
We are willing to trust ssthe sensible
workingmen, as the mechanics are aris-
tocratically designated. They can judge
between the two doctrines which assign
the true causes of their embarrassments.
They will attribute to the union of all
rival interests the construction of that
system OF transportation to which the Bull
letin adverts. They believe in contracting
this rivalry by inviting the cooperation
of men of all parties. They would pre-
fer respectful regard for the opinions Of
all who can aid New Orleans instead Of
proclamation of war against them. When
''the sensible workingmen" who toll for the
support of the elegant politicians. shall
come to consider the injury to themselves
occasioned by Radical misrule, they may
possibly admit as a slight explanation,
the doctrine that frauds on the custom
house and internal revenue of hated
form of government may have brought
into competition with their own CONNER
cial and mechanical industry the SNUG
gled products of foreign labor or the un-
taxed products of our own.
Whether the success of an appeal for
the violent overthrow and expulsion of
oil who are not tatooed with the Demo
cratic trade marks would help the sensi-
BILE workingmen or disable the Eads'
bridge and railroad system of the East, is
a question they are fully competent to de-
eide. We think the sentiment of the
United States is sufficiently against New
Orleans at present, and should deprecate
any more murderous policy than that
which to-day has rendered the Democracy
of Coushatta reproach to civilization.
