Mr.. Rlaine's fnroc

CONCERNING Mr.. Blaine's feroci-
ty as q fighter in the open field, there
is little story to be told, as the late
Mr.. Lincoln would have said. 1t
appears that Mr.. Blaine, not fiuding
it convenient to strap on the knapsack
or tie around the sash for himself,
procured q substitute to represent
that valor which could not wholly be
repressed. That substitute, instead
of exposing himself by doing the pa
triotic work for which he was en-
ployed, went off and committed 4
crime of some sort, for which he suf-
fered the penalty of lying in close
Jail until the war was all over. So
that Mr.. Blaine really allowed him
self to be represented in the Union
ranks by a convicted criminal, and
did the toughest of his fighting with
in the walls of a Jail at that. This is
pretty well for man who at this day
ylibly reminds the, South that it was
and insists that it was en-
Titled to no terms, even under the
Constitution, which the conquerors
lid not grant Boston Post.

Caught in a Creyasse.
THE STEAMBOAT KATIE CoRNERED AT
BONNET CARRE.

Parties who arrived in the city on
Tuesday morning by the r. f. Lee, re-
port that the steamer Katie, while
drifting down the river, at one o'clock
on Monday morning. in a dense fog,
was carried by the current into the
Bonnet Care Crevasse, distance of
two thousand two hundred and twenty
feet where she grounded, and was dri-
ven upon bar in six feet of water
with her cargo consisting of 5000 bales
of cotton.
Those who came down on the Lee
state that is hardly possible the Katie
can besgot Back into the river again
without great difficulty, and as she is
loaded to a depth of eleven feet, near.
~, if not quite all her cargo will have
to he lightered off before she can be
moved.
Her passengers were taken off in
skitfs and brought here on tile Lee,
General jeff. Thompson being among
the number. He states that in his
opinion, it is extremely doubtful
whether she can be got into the river
again soon, as the current through the
crevasse is very rapid.
The channel too, has changed, and
instead of going be.ow the rack heaps
as it did, it now takes an upward
course, and is some distance from the
Katie. Her position, as shown by a
map of the crevasse and bearings taken
by Gen. Thompson, is directly back
from the mouth of the crevasse and
nearly to the heavy timber.
Tugboats with barges will be sent
up at once to her relief and her cargo
will first be removed, after which eff
forts will be made to get her back into
the current. She lies in an easy posi-
ton in six feet of water and is in no
danger, unless the river should decline
rapidly, and that is hardly probable
just now.

SHATTERED LIVES, = Many of the
mist"rtunes of women's lives owe their
origin to vacant or dissatisfied minds.
Few women attach sufficient impor-
lance to the bare OF the mental facul-
ties. Their sphere of life being more
limited than that of men, they have
not SD wide ii choice of occupation or
amusement. This often causes women
who are naturally capable of consider
able mental exertion, to use their pow
ers i'll an inordinate and unnatural de-
gree, until they become masculine in
mannel, or eccentric. Often they fall
into the opposite extreme. Not being
possessed OF sufficient force of charac-
ter to take up any really intellectual
pursuit, and being easily influenced by
any unusual excitement, they rest
their hopes of happiness on Such
slight foundations that when these fail
them they have no power to rally.
The vacant mind brouds over trifles
for sheer want of occupation; inaction
produces feeling of fatigue which in
duces a desire for solitude; solitude
soon gives rises to melancholy, aud a
general WEAKNESS of existence makes
the sufferer only too glad to embrace
any chance of relief. Hence arise ILL
assorted marriages, melanchoIia, reIi-
gious mania and conyentual life. To
prevent the mental faculties from sink
ing into lethargy, nothing is more effec-
tual than shange of occupation or
scene. 1t should be the practice OF
every one to cultivate at least one form
of mental occupation other than that
which forms the chief object of life;
for a wide range of knowledge is Of
inestimable value, and may prove to
be not only a means of recreation and
pleasure in profitable times, but
source of profit and comfort when acct.
dent Or misfortune renders it -impossi-
BILE for the ordinary pursuit to be
followed.

What the Democrats in Congress
Have Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, January lit is
hardly a week since the House Of
Representatives got fairly at work
after the holiday intermission, yet
the Democratic majority is criticised
for not having having already effect
ted important Legislation, and fol
conceding to the Republican minori-
| ty certain rights. This is a very
blear-eyei premature critici S m
indeed.
In point Of fact the record of the
! Democrats, who numerically control
the House, has been exceptionally
good, and is free from the tyranny
and insolence which for half a score
of preceding yeah marked the con
duct of the Republican majority
there. First, the Democrats elected
their very best man for Speaker.
Second, the Speaker designated list
OF excellent committees, in which
precedence was given to the ablest
and most honorable members on
both sides of the Chamber. Third.
by modest demeanor and perfect good
humor toward their foes, the Demo
Gratis encouraged Republicans to show
their hands at the outset of the ses-
sion. Fourth, every Republican palm
held up was soiled, notably Blaine's
This cunning trickster played des-
perate card for popularity and lost.
His error at the latest moment was
in afiixing to the Republican party Of
the House the odium of refusing am
nesty to every repentant rebel.
Fifth, the Democrats, during these
preliminary days, have been singu-
larly easy among themselves. No
man has been elected as q floor bully,
and no one has nominated and sus-
tanned himself in that capacity with
anything like the parliamentary sue
cess of ex-Speaker Blaine. Sixth,
several legislative measures of great
Importance have been introduced in
the House by Democrats, and several
more are preparing in committe
rooms. The principal bill Of nation
al concern which has been brought
to the attention Of the House, is the
one fathered by Mr.. Payne, of Ohio,
which steps directly onward towards
specie payments by securing an accu-
mutation of gold at the yearly rate of
five per cent by the Government on
the amount of legal tenders, and by
the banks Oh the amount of national
bank currency, and which also re
peals Sherman's sham resumption
act. By these simple processes this
bill proposes to accumulate gold in
the Treasury at the rate Of about
$35, 100000 year. Seventh, pre-
liminary moves for the retrenchment
of national expenditures have been
made by Democrats, and sanctioned
by the House. Every standing com
mittee has been instructed BY the
House to inquire into and report up
on the expenses and expenditures of
every department Of the Government,
The War Department, the Navy De
partment, the Department Of the In
terror and its adjuncts, the PostoHice
Department, the Printing Bureau
these and all the rest are to render
their accounts for the first time in
years to the peoples representatives,
and that through the regular com
mittees of the House, without the
expense Of special committees.

fore you, and if you admit either one
or the other, we shall not, as indiyidu-
ais, complain. If you think the merits
of the case will Justify the admission of
Mir. Pirchback, then admit him. Per-
laps the State of Louisiana can sur
vive if the Senate of the nation can
endure it. 1t would doubtless greatly
please the colored political leaders,
both here and elsewhere; but We are
candid when we say that in our unbi-
ased judgment it would not in any way
benefit the colored masses iu Louisi-
ana, nor be of any special credit or
practical utility to our State at large.
We have already had entirely too much
political strife and social demoraliza-
ton in this State, and far too much
party plumber and official venality and
imbecility; and the entire masses of our
people, both white and black, shudder
at the bare thought of any prolonga-
ton of party rings of plumber and hate.
We are "to the manor born" and claim
to know what will bring peace, good
will and permanent prosperity to our
people. Political strife on the color
line or otherwise will never do it. The
great and leading consideration with
the whole country should be the pro-
lection of the honest laboring masses
of the colored people. The white pop
ulation can, as a general rule, protect
themselves. We as individuals ask no
special protection orimmunity for our
selves; we are in no feuds with our
neighbors. of any race or color; but we
do ask for condition of affairs which
will insure protection and fair play to
the honest laboring colored masses,
who produce the living substance OF
tile State, and who neither ask nor ex-
pect office. And we say candidly that
the only safe protection TO this class is
louna i'll the local kindly feeling and
sentiment of the ruling white masses !;
and we say further, most candidly and
emphaticaliy, that the placing of col
ored men in official positions over wor-
thy and true white men-especially
under strained and doubtful coustruc-
tons of legal right and propriety-will
never mollify this feeling, and will
never bring cred ulity or safety to any
class in any section or locality of the
Southern country.
This, from a long and close obser-
want practical 'experience-an expert
ence not composed altogether of fiow-
cry beds of ease-is to our view the
practical bearing and solution of the
question, and the sooner it is practi.
cally understood and practically acted
upon by the entire country the better
will it be for the people at large, of all
races and colors; and it is, too, in our
humble judgment, the just and proper
view of the subject, founded in right
and true craftsmanship, because it in
wolves directly the peace, prosperity,
aud consequent happiness of the en-
tire land.
