: We hsve made this extended notice Of
knowledge from . nov source, to prove
the wisdom Of Republican equality. We
have quoted the common sense views Of
ono Who represents that labor upon which
Ill prosperity and property are based.
When .contxasted with fhe class interests
that have been 90 zealously advocated,
they tend to show the reciprocal and mu-
tual interests Of capital and labor. No
one can read the speeches Of ex-senator
Schurz, or of Senator Stamps, without
being impressed with the fact that immi-
grafton and emancipation have added
greatly to the ability and resources Of the
republic.

vindicate his political claim in the syes OF
the world. Dr.. McNillen was Justified IN
resigning, or backing out, or whatevsf 1t

Mr.. Hill was very unfortunate in his
comparison of the cases of the jeff DAVIS
responsibility for Wirz' crimes and Grants
for the sins of Joyce and Mcdonald.
There is no sort of parallel in the two.
jeff Davis not only did not punish the
Andersonville criminal, but he and every
prominent Confederate from Fortress Mon
roe to the Rio Grande did everything in
their power to save the miscreant from the
halter. Grant, on the contrary, has pur-
sued every offender against the laws. and
succeeded in landing the two choice speci-
mems referred to by the Georgia gentle
man safely in prison. Who ever heard of
Davis, Lee. Hill, or any other Confederate
chieftain demanding of their subordinates
that they ''let no guilty man escape?"
On the contrary, the spirit Of their
speeches, orders, resolutions, and espe-
cially the report Of the Confederate Judi
ciary Committee, 80 happily alluded to by
Mr.. Blaine, was we'll calculated to en-
courage such zeslots as Wirz in carrying
the business of torturing defenseless pris-
oners to the greatest excess. While Mr..
Davis can not be blamed for Wirz CON-
duct, unless it can be shown that he knew
of it and approved it, Grant is entitled to
credit for having found out and punished
the acts which MI. Hill, unfortunately for
himself, cites as an Offset to Demonstrated
barbarity.

Aside from his detective title to the Of
fee of United States Senator. no true Re-
publican in Louisiana can urge the slight
est objection to Hon. j. B. Eustis. He is
probably the ablest and best man in the
Democratic party of the State, and at the
same time moderate in his partisan feel
iugs. Were he in fact our Senator, no
Republican would have reason to be
ashamed of him, or incur the risk of being
excluded from his official care and solici-
tude. In matters Of principle, MIR. Eustis
may be and doubtless is consistent
Democrat, SO far as an honest politician
can be such, but in practice and in the
relations which should exist between man
and man in q community, he is good
enough to be Republican. If the DEM
ocracy had more such men, the party
would be inviucible in this State.

me0L Oh taxes IN the OopIeCIAtoW OOued-
tons of the city. It departs from the
principle of equality and uniformity, since
the poor man pays his little license tax in
currency, while the rich proprietor may
withhold his tax money until the decline
in public securities enables him to obtain
q practical discount at the treasury.
He agrees with the proposal to unite the
city and State assessments, or to tax the
same property at the same valuation, but
does not appreciate the idea Of Mayor
Leeds thata city is municipal sovereign,
and should be empowered to fix and col
lect taxes for the State. He thinks this
would be .'conferring the powers Of the
sovereign upon the creature" This is, in
our belief, perfectly correct opinion.
He disapproves of the proposal to give
the control of the police to the city. This
is, in our belief, merely question Of State
policy. The power of the State to protect
life and property and enforce law through
out the whole, State Is undoubted. Inc
State has the same authority over q
merchant or. stocehouse, on Canal street
as over any cross roads store or shop
keeper in the parishes. Its jurisdic-
ton is the. same over. the City Park OF
Congo square as over any other old field OF
COW pasture in Louisiana. What the State
chooses to do in regard TO- its agencies Of
duty it may do. We may presume that IN
the future it may give or withhold the
control Of the police force according to the
future political condition of the city.
As for the schools. Senator Stamps has
seized the principle that the property o.
the State is bound to educate to ignor-
anoe of the State. There can mot be gen.
erstions Of Wild and wicked children 81

Testing a Lovers Sincerity.
From the Reading Eagle.

A young woman down town imagined
that young man who had been very at
tentive TO her for six months, had de-
serted her, and an old woman of her ac-
qnaintance advised her what to do.-
Take one of hia letters, the very sweet
est of all that he ever sent you, and pnt
a lock of your hair in it and then put it
back in the envelope. Go to the White
Spot, and on your way up hunt a piece
of thin witch hazel wood" Here the
old woman gave a full description of
this mysterious bush. "Then come back
and try to remember a place where he
kissed you standing on the ground. As
near rs you can remember, bury the let
ter, lock of hair and witch hazel right
on the spot whore he stood and kissed
YOU and let it remain there three days"
The young woman followed the ad :
vice, cut off lock Of hair went and
procured the witch hazel. and then she
set to thinking where she last had been
kissed. She could call to mind no out
side kiss that she had ever received
from him, excepting one that he gave
her one night while they were walking
down Canal street toward Bingaman,
opposite the Eckert brick works
Four nights ago she repaired thither
with trowel that she quietly borrowed,
and she quickly buried the articles
The third night was last night, and she
wen, to watch that little grave. What
she saw she afterward related to the
woman. She said she SAW sparks of
fire shoot up from the ground. "AH
right" said the old cnnjuror, Ibis con-
science is burning and torturing him.
He'll come back in less than ten days.
Be of good cheer. On the third night
go and get yonr things out of the ground
| and bury them under the caves of your
house somewhere, so that the rain drops
will fall over them" And that is how
ihe young woman tested the fidelity of
her Negligent lover.

Indians Attacking and Numbering
Black Hills Parties.

CHICAGO. May l7.-At Fort Laramie
there is undoubted evidence received
that the raids on the Black Killers are
made by the Indians from the Red
Cloud Agency,
ISsTIGATED. PROBABLY, BY RED CLOUD
himself The several Indians wounded
in the fights with whites have been ta-
ken there for care. 1t Is proven that
THE INDIANS ARE USING NEEDLE GUNS
of calibre of fifty, and firing i've
ronnds of ammunition-a significant
fact as to the resources ofIhe India: 3.
Two trains started from Fort Laramie
for Custer City several days ago. and re-
turned to the former place last night
They found that the fighting with the
Indians north of Fort Laramie was too
severe to allow Of their going ahead.
In the fight north of Custer City last
week men just in from there report that
out of a party of forty whites, full
EIGHTEEN WERE KILLED.
Every hour brings intelligence of
fresh fighting. The road is a perfect
skirmish line from Fort Laramie to Gus
Ter City. Gen. Crook is reported AT the
latter Fort There is general feeling
of impatience here over the delay of the
military expedition.

A Cruel Yet Funny Hoax.


A good story reaches us from Milan.
A yonng nohleman of that city, Of mar
riageable age. and a master of a fortuna :
of 10000 francs a year, not long ago
came 10 the conclusion that it was time
for him to look out for wife. His pur-
snits in life not being of the most siren
uous character, he had leisure 70 com-
bine amusement with research. Accord
ingly he advertised his want in Mil
anese newspaper, requesting that every
answer to the advertisement might be
accompanied with the portrait Of the la
dy who replied.
A collateral result of this notice was
that two or three ofthe best photogra ph
ic artists OF the city had more work on
their hands than they could attend to.
The direct result was sixty-ive letters,
with as many fair maidenly counten-
ances as would furnish good-sized alb
um. Tho answers were in some cases
accompanied by parental certificates, set
llHE hiiC
charms and virtues of their daughters.
Embarrassed by a voice of such unex
pected variety, and desirous to crafty
that sense of humor which even the
serious nature of his quest could not re-
press, the young man replied to each of
his correspondents that, before coming to
a final decision, a personal-not exactly
interview, but inspection-would be Of
advantage.
To each of the ladies', of course with
out the knowledge of the others, he sen,
ticket for an orchestra stall in the
Scala Theater, announcing that he him =
self would be in particular box. the
ed. A few evenings later the pay-going
public of Milan were perplexed to ex-
plain the appearance of one of the rows
of stalls in the immense bniIiing.
A long line of beanties, in toilets of
extreme elegance, unbroken by single
black coat, was observed. Furtiyely,
anu WIN tISpIidli"l' uAu coCi HaIA-C''
from time to time, raise her opera glass
to that box-the cynosure of many
bright eyes-in which the graceful
youth reposed. Snspiciously and with
darkened brow, did each damsel, tnrn TO
the long file of her neighbors, and won
der at the magnetism which drew each
glass to the one central spot.
BY and by the audience. to whom
some hint of the secret had leaked ont, ,
began to give audible signs that they
enjoyed the joke. The sporadic laughter
the young ladies, and the contagion of
fun turned the sporadic mirth into
general roar
