We have no hesitation in saying that.

fairly inferred that Mr.. Dubuclet. IN

Of weakness than of Intentional wrong.
It is very evident that he resisted. with
as much foftitude Ms he could command.

others, and finally yielded, under pro
test to threats and intimidation. We
have always regarded Mr.. Dubuclet rs
one of the fow honest public officers OF
the State. IL Is highly probable that

A number OF poor negroes, summoned
to appear before Senator Weber's out
rage committee, may be daily seen wan
dering around the State House, desti-
tute of the means of getting even bread
while awaiting to give their testimony.
Juba Glasper. from West Feliciana,
says he borrowed tw, dollars to pay his
passage down; that the sheriff told him
if he failed to come he would arrest
him. that he has no money to pay his
fare up: that he had had nothing to eat
for two days. Washington Williams
and Peter Griffin told US the same tale.
Juba says he never was in such place
in his life, "a mans face don't count
for anything" They say that "Bill''
Sterling, who was Parish Treasurer dur
ing 1875, with Senator Weber as book
keeper, is also dancing attendance"
destitute of ammunition de bouche. /"
He claims. however, balance due
from his former book-keeper. f. L.
Weber, but, if we may believe Juba
has failed to get it, though sorel,
needed. II they can hold out unit
they can get their vouchers, they may
possibly find the means Of returning il
time to plant their crops.

IF. among the eolorod men who signed
the dispatch To Pinehback which we
commented upon yesterday, there DO
any who really desire tho admission OF
that unfortunate and dcluded political
football to tho United States Senate
and Of that we have grave doubts
we may MS well INFORM them
that his chances arc growing small
by degree and beautifully loss 1t
seems that his hopes now centre upon
the vote Of Senator Booth, Of California.
IT this he true, he lcans upon broken
reed indeed. He has no more chance OF
getting Senator Booths vote in favor OF
his admission to the Senate than ne
would have of securing the support OF
our Mr.. Booth il he should present him
self before the Louisiana Legislature
for another election.

The New ORLEANS WEEKLY DEMOCRAT.
The first number of the New Orleans
weekly DEMOCRAT has just made its ap--
pearance, and we feel that we cannot
too strongly recommend it as d can
didate for public favor. 1t is to be
hoped that our citizens, generally, will
not only subscribe for it themselves,
but use every exertion to promote its
circulation. It is just the paper our
people need, and we will take pleasure
in forwarding subscriptions. No better
investment Of the price charged-th three
dollars-cau be made. Booster Banner.

These figures which are vouched for
as being strictly correct, and represent
the amount which the lessees have c1-
pended up to the 1st Of February, 1875.
This is most favorable showing. ano
we are glad to hear that our wharves
and landings are at length under the
management Of the energetic and thor
oughly practical gentlemen who have
leased them, being put in the order
worthy OF the valuable and immense
interests dependent on their good condi
ton. The endorsement Of AssistantSur-
veyor Harrod that the work and work
manship has been fully up to the proper
standard, is sufficient upon that point,
and our hope Is that the good work will
be rapidly pushed forward, so that from
the upper to the lower landing, along
the whole city front, our city wharves
will be all pronounced in flrst-oass or
der, with no complaint from any quarter,
and this we confidently expect OF the
gentlemen who have the matter III their

Remarkable Professional Success.

Among the notable professional men of this
country who have achieved extraordinary sue
cess is DR.. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through strictly legitimate means, and,
go far, therefore, he deserves the enviable
reputation which he enjoys. This large meas
ure of success is the result Of a thorough and
careful preparation for his calling, and extern
sive reading during a long and unusually large
practice, which have enabled him to gain high
commentator, even from his professional
brethren. Devoting his attention to certain
specialties of the science he has so carefully
investigated he has been rewarded in a re-
markable degree. In these specialties he has
become recognized leader. Not few Of the
remedies prescribed by him have, it is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets and
larger works have been received as useful
contributions to medical knowledge. He has
recently added another, and perhaps more i'm
portant work, because OF more general appllca-
ton, to the list of his published writings. This
book entitled " The Peoples Common Sense
Medical Adviser" is designed to enter into
general circulation. DIR. Pierce has received
Acknowledgements and honors from many
sources, and especially scientific degrees from
two of the first medical institutions in the

FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.
The Business of General Interest Trans
acted.


Mr.. Kelley [Dem.l of Oregon, from the
committee on railroads, reported with amend
ments the Senate bill to extend the time for
the construction and completion of the North
ern Pacific railroad. Placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Davis Dem. ], Of West Virginia, called
up the resolution submitted by him few days
ago in regard to the investigation of the books
and accounts of the Treasury department.
The motion of Mr.. Edmunds to amend the
resolution 80 as to have the investigation made
by the committee on finance instead of q
special committee, was agreed to. On motion
Of MIR. Morrill, [Rep.l, Of Vermont, the pre-
amble alleging that there were discrepancies
in the accounts OF the treasury, etc., was laid
on the table.
During the consideration of the bill to pro-
vide for commission on the subject of the
alcoholic liquor traffic, Mr.. Sherman said the
use of spirituous liquors was the cause OF
crime in all parts of the world, and caused
beggary and poverty. This vice was almost
universal, and it seemed to him that the Con-
gress Of the United States might well give the
subject full ana fair examination, Mr.. Morrill,
[Rep,l Of Maine, spoke in favor of the bill.
Mr.. Sargent rep ], OF California, presented
petition signed by large number of ladies,
asking that government be established in the
District OF Co umbia which would confer upon
women the right to vote.
Mr.. Chrstiancy [Repl OF Michigan, sub
mitted an amendment to the liquor bill de-
claring that the commission shall be appointed
for the purpose of obtaining information
which may serve as guide to the system of
legislation best fitted in reference to the ques-
ton of revenue from the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic and fermented liquors, and the

A Picture Of CITY Life.

The agents Of truancy come across
some very sad cases in their travels.
through New York city in search of
truant children. Says the Express
One of them asked why JAS. Dugan did
not attend school, and learned that he
was the only support of a family of five
persons. The report goes on to say that
they ate the cold victuals that the boy
begged from door to door, and the
cinders that he gathered from the ash
barrels was all the fuel they had to keep
them warm. The father is an industri-
Gus, but unfortunate, plumber, who has
been sick and out of work for six
months, having earned only fifty cents
since Christmas. The family had parted
with everything but the stove, deal
table, and two broken chairs. The
mother has been i'll for a month without
any medical attendance. She held in
her arms an infant four days old. 1t
was wrapped in clean cloth that some
poor friendly neighbor had given her.
I The agent found them on the verge of
starvation. For two days they had
neither food nor fire. Sad as this pic
ture is, it is, unfortunately, one that is
being presented almost every day to
those who busy themselves among the
poor. The amount of suffering that is
going on in this great city is hardly
dreamed of beyold the immediate circle
of the sufferers and the charitably in.
clined who visit them. The stagnation
of labor has thrown thousands out Of
employment, and there are those, toe
proud to beg, who would starve were il
not for the kindly offices of the good
hearted people who find them in theil
distress and relieve them. Thousands
of dollars have already been spent this
winter in relieving the poor, but wan
and misery are SO widespread that i
would seem almost as if the demand
would never end. Fortunate for tn,
poor that the winter has not been Sc
we're, and that bitter cold has not beel
added to gnawing hunger.
