not sent to jail, because there were no cases Of
republican rumsellcrs to bring before the jury.
Pillsbury knows, if he knows what he Is talking
about, that there is not grog shop in Augusta
kept by republican. We do not state this for
the purpose of rejecting upon democrats, some Of
whom are the most jealous and true temperance
men in the community, but just to show the
groundlessness of Pillsbury's insinuation. The
fact we have stated cannot be truthfuy denied.
And we want Eben to take notice that never by
word or deed has he shown any sympathy with
the present reform movement in our midst; he
has not shown himself at single public meeting;
he has not given the movement single encour-
aging word in the columns of his paper; has
almost ignored the existence of the Reform Club,
except to slur it, or give it one of his " wooden
smiles" The rum power knocks down man in
the street; not word from Pillsbury, because
the assaant is a democrat. An attempt is made
in the. darkness of midnight, by this same rum
power to fire the house of a citizen conspicuous
in the reform work; everybody is swift to de-
nouncc the act but Pillsbury; he waits week
for the public mind to become calm after the cti-
zens' indis alton meeting, and then in his charm
ingly sarcastic manner, insinuatingly hints that
the act was done by temperance reformer!
The fact is, Pisbury is mad, as chairman Of
the democratic State committee, because his a3so-
ciates who have been discussing barrels Of rum
here, were to help him disburse that barrel of
money sent him from New York for election pur
poses; and they can't do it now, because they are
making shoes. That accounts for the nisstate-
uts he has made, and why he doesn't lecture
on temperance this season.

SHALL WE STAND FOR THE INTERESTS
OF OUR OWN COUNTRY Or THOSE OF
OTHER COUNTRIES 4?

The chief staple product of the soil OF
this State is sugar. The culture OF this
staple in Louisiana has always been
tostered by moderate duty imposed
upon the introduction into this coun-
try Of foreign sugars sufficient to
protect our planters against the strong
competition Of foreign producers. 1t is
of vital importance to the Louisiana
planters that this protection should be
continued. The State, from a high con-
dition Of prosperity, was reduced to one
of ruin and devastation by the late civil
war. Its energies and resources We're e1-
hausted, and for recuperation and REIN
yigoration time is required. In consider
ing this subject we must look to the future
as well as to the present to see the i'm
portance of supporting this great branch
of our agricultural wealth. Within the
limits of this State there are immense
areas Of virgin soil peculiarly adapted to
the profitable production Of sugar, which
is becoming more and more an essential
element in the worlds commerce. On
the lower districts of the rich alluyion of
Red river and Atchafalaya, in the large
parish Of st. Landry, and in all the At
.ckapas parishes, there are hundreds Of
thousands of acres of the very best lands
vet to be brought into the cultivation of
this staple. In time this State will be un-
surpassed in the production of sugar.
With the capital and labor that will be
invested in this product, and with
the energies that will be brought
to bear in the manufacture of the
articles Of sugar and molasses, all
impedime1ts will give way. These arti-
cles will be afforded cheaper, and at re-
munerating prices. The principle of pro-
lection will have done its Office by build
ing up this great interest, which will
become independent and self-sustaining
Such would be the legitimate result Of
iudicious government protection, con-
tinued under the present crippled condi-
ton of the resources and capacities of
the State. So vital being the interests of
Louisiana in this policy Of support and
protection, in the hour Of her utmost
need, the casting Of her electoral vote in
favor of the national free trade ticket
would indeed be anomalous. The princi-
pies of the Republican party, touching
the protection and sustaining all the
great industrial interests of the coun-
try, are identical with those Of the
old Wing party; principles by which
the American people were put upon the
high road to independence Of foreign
nations, to the rapid development OF
their immense resources, to wealth and
prosperity, and upon their proud career
of Improvement and progress.
Give Louisiana "a fair election" and
she will triumphantly sustain these sound
and we'll established principles.

THE LkMRLIKE RULLDOZER

We may suppose Mr.. Lamar entirely
sincere in his assurances that his constl-
tuents are harmless and law-abiding
people, He no doubt thinks it absurd
that the negroes should fear the bull
dozer, or that Northern people should be
afraid to explore the Southern States,
lest they should be killed OR mutilated
for non-confornlity Of political opinion.
To Mr.. Lamar the freaks of the bulldozer
mean nothing. Such deeds have been
familiar to him and to the negroes, and
betoken no ex:radinary condition OF al
fairs. These b. Iozers are harmless fel-
lows He can pat tlem on the head,
open their jaws and pass his fingers over
their sharp incisors. It sometimes hap
pens that timid visitor is halloing at
the gate when the man of the house
comes out and says, "What! You're not
afraid of the dog?' Then he will pull
the ears Of savage ball dog, and even
give him kick in the ribs. These civil
tiles would have cost the visitor the
seat Of his pantaloons, or a months
poulticing.
Why, were any popular advocate Of the
Lamar strategy to call up any buildozer
from the crowd, and putting his hand
familiarity on the bull6ozer's shoulder
say:
"Joe, old fellow, let me look at that
six Tor sixteen) shooter" 1t would be
handed him with the guileless confidence
of childhood itself 'Joe, how far could
YOU hit mans hat with this rifie?'
"Well, if his head was in it and he
didn't have another rifle, good way off.
I have done that thing two hundred
wards. and him a runnin' at that-but it
was a Niger"
'well, Joe," as the cock is let down
again upon the nipple, ''be careful Don't

Then there goes around the ring OF

The Tines gallops apace after an idea,
when it happens to find one. 1t is mis-
taken in its inference that Belknap was
put on trial for robbery. If DE had robbed
the public treasury, which he did not, the
Senate could only try him for misde-
meanor in Office. The charge of robbery
would have to be tried by the Judicial tri-
bunals. His actual offense, and griev-
Gus one it was, consisted in using his Off
cial position to grant, for money, special
privileges to post traders. As be was not
charged by the House with robbery, we
presume his otfense was considered one
unworthy Of an officer of the Cabinet,
and hence the proper course was pursued
to eyict him. According to the decision
Of the Senate, his resignation barred con-
v;ction. He is, however, still liable to
prosecution under the criminal laws, and
We hope be will receive his full deserts.
Now, will our neighbor tell us what
ought to be done with a Democratic
Cabinet officer, under whose admins
tration the public treasury was made to
bleed to the tune of about five millions?
We should like to hear some organ Of the
Democracy speak Cor the party on this
question. Surely, millions taken from
the public treasury is matter Of as great
public importance as hard bargain
driven with camp sutler. We surrender
Belknap to the wrath Of the avenger, but
would like to see worse offenders brought
to account also. Let us have homily
on the unpursued offender.

GONE WITHOUT HABEAs CORPUS.

The persons arrested upon charge Of
q murder committed in Feliciana, have
been committed to the sheriff of that par
ish, under assurances that they shall be
taken in safety and committed to Jail for
trial. We hope the safe conduct will be
respected. There is, indeed. little dan
ger that the prisoners will be bulldozed,
because the effect of their arrest will be
to convince the colored voters that they
have nothing to apprehend from the VEN
geance of their own color, and that Demo-
cratic protection amounts to policy of life
insurance. The Picayune reproached these
prisoners with undue solicitude for their
lives, and censured those who advised
them that the writ Of habeas corpus was
not confined to white people. We clip
