DUB POLICE LAWS.

Superintendent Loan may as we'll make
up his mind at once that he can not dis.
charge his official duties without incur.
ring the censure of the Democratic papers.
The difficulty arises from glorious un.
certainty which seems to exist here as to
which laws are popular and which are un-
popular, which to be strictly enforced
and which to remain dead letter. Last
year, when young Gould and several other
lads were killed or seriously injured by
the careless use of firearms, toy and other
wise, the Democratic papers loudly de-
manded, "Where are the police?" and
rather CURLY reminded the public gusr-
dams that there were certain ordinances
in force which it became them to enforce.
A runaway team or two frightened by
firecrackers reminded irate reporters that
the lives of some eminent citizen and his
wife or daughter had been put in jeopardy
because the ordinance against shooting
on the streets, letting off fireworks and
other holiday follies had not been prop

RED RIVER.

We learn from passengers recently ar
rived by Red river boats that the naviga-
ton Of this stream is nearly closed, on
account Of formidable bar which has
formed at the mouth. At last accounts there
were dozen or more cotton laden steam
boats aground on this1bar, with no very
good prospect of immediate release from
the unfortunate predicament. Red river
is much lower at the point of confluence
than the Mississippi and the current
runs up the former for some distance.
and turns into the Atchafalaya. At the
point where the two currents check each
other, the mud carried by both rivers
drops and forms the bar. A substantial
rise in Red river, or decided fall in the
Mississippi, would soon cause the current
to cut away this bar, temporarily, at
least; or, by damming the outlet into the
Atchafalaya, the waters of the Red river
would soon bank up enough to stop the
flow from the Mississippi, and give
sufficient draft of water to float the small
boats used in that trade.
We notice the steamboat, cotton and
insurance interests have joined in a me-
mortal to Congress for relief. We all
turn our eyes to the national government
when anything is wrong with us. And
this petition is one which, in our judy
ment, ought to receive instant and favor.

esas sasssosd ~ those No vses p1id q
attend 70 such things.
This ysar; howstst, Colonel Loan gave
timely notice Of his intention to enfore
these wise regulations, and sent out ap-
propriste orders to Ill policeman to arrest
all offenders under them. The result was
that several hsndrsd boys paid no atten-
ton to either the laws OF the declared in
tention to enforce them. and something
less than one hundssd Of the youthful
culpits were caught and locked up.
Whereupon the papers which last year
censared the police for neglect Of duty,
now find fault because they have dis
charged it, and intimate that the action of
the Superintendent is An arbitrary inter-
ference With . presumed vested right in
the boys to make night hideous and them
selves disagreeable. The callow youths
who have been thus made to suffer the
penalty for disregarding the law are made
to feel that they have been imposed upon
and badly treated. Many Of them have
never been subject to any sort of dis
cipline at home, and they think it great
hardship to begin in such . school of ad-
versity as police station affords.
Itwould simplify matters greatly and add
to the pleasures of official life if our Dem
ocratic papers would publish from time
to time list Of tho laws and ordinances
which tho party leaders do not wish to
have enforced, and in case Law shall be
found popular one year and unpopular
the next the time when the change takes
place should be made known at least one
month in advance. The police would
then know what was expected of them
and could govern themselves accordingly.
For the present, however, We hope the
police will strictly enforce the ordinances
which forbid the explosion Of gunpowder
in the streets Il viii promote the con-
venience Of Thousands Of people who can

no DISPATOHES YET.

Yesterday the farce Of formally calling
civilian Orion" Vas performed by the
sergeant-at-arms Of tho HOUSE committee
here. in tho presence Of eight members.
It Was short piece, in ono act, and Is a
success it was failure, though Is . fail
ure it was . complete success, to borrow
the words Of modern wag. William
Orion behaved like Glendower's spirits
when he called them from tho Vastly deep.
He did not come He was sick ct home
in New York. but sent bis excuses by tele-
graph. duly thanked, We suppose. But
though informed by him that he could
not conveniently obey the summons, the
sergeant-atarms was directed to put the
matter to an DIAL test. Perhaps the COM
mittee did not fully believe the dispatch.
They may have thought the jocular
Orion was playing prank upon them,
and that he was within hearing, ready to
respond when the sergeant-atarms gave
him the cue. But the painful silence
which succeeded the test satisfied the
most sanguine believer in the power
of the House committee that the
witness had properly stated the
case in his telegram. Notwithstand-
ing he had had ample notice, he
neglected or refused to obey the sum
mons, and nothing remained but to &C.
quaint the House with the fact that its
committee had been snubbed and its own
dignity treated with contempt. A resolu-
ton was accordingly sent on, which will
recite the tale Of woe to the House, and
it is fully expected by all the Louisiana
Democrats that the contumacious witness
will be locked up in the coal hole for the
balance of his natural life. In the mean
time Mr.. Orion appears to be served with
good counsel. He lives in State where
the writ Of habeas corpus is q priced in
stitutlon from which it will be very diff
cult to take him if he does not choose to
go voluntarily.
We suppose this will end the folly of
prying into private dispatches for politi-
cal information. MI. Orion has said in
an affidavit that he has no control over
any of the dispatches named in the SUBJ
pena duces tecun', nor any others in the
Western Union Telegraph Offices, his au-
thority in such matters having been d.
vested by the board of directors. That
of his own knowledge be is not aware Of
the existence of the alleged dispatches,
and is altogether as ignorant of the mat
ter in controversy as Georgia Congress-
man, or a New Orleans or Charleston
Democratic parson. Doubtless this is all
The information Mr.. Morrisons commit
lee will ever receive about those dis
patches, and as for the witness, he shows
. wonderful aptitude to take care of him

cial interests are still dependent upon the
same 3dehannels Of transportation which
answered the purpose very well thirty or
thirty.ffve years ago. when news went by
q horse mail and cotton to Liverpool by
sail. Electricity and steam have created
. demand for better. facilities to bring
produce to market, and much greater
speed in the transfer than can be attained
by . steamboat. But the old mode is
certainly better than none at all, with
which We are now threatened. And if
the government engineers can afford any
decided relief by the outlay Of few
thousand dollars, We hope the Democrats
in the House will make haste to repeal the
Holman resolution, and take the Red river
matter into consideration.

colt got cast on its back in manger;
when taken out it was utterly unable
to stand or move its hind limbs, and so
continued for some time, when two

This and similar facts led me, when
studying drugs several years ago, to

ounce aromat, spirits ammonia, three
drachms tine stramonii, two drachms:
olmenthe, twenty drops chloroform.
one drachm spirits camphor, two

superior to anything of its kind for
bruises, soreness of the muscles from
any cause, or nervous pains Its value
however, will bes. be known by its use.

LENGTH OF ROOTS.

According to the excellent authority
Of the Country Gentleman" Prof
Beale, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, furnishes the following inter-
esting facts, mostly the result of his
own examinations, in relation to the
length of roots in plants and trees:
The soil has to do with the length
and number of roots. In light, poor
soil, l find roots of June grass four feet
below the surface. People are apt to
underestimate the length, amount and
Importance Of the roots of the finer
grasses, wheat, oats, etc Some roots
of clover and Indian corn are large
enough to be seen by every one on
slight examination 4 young wheat
plant, when pulled up, only shows a
small part of its roots They go down
often four or six feet it needs very
careful examination to show that clover
and Indian corn have any more weight
Of roots than June grass. They prob
ably do not contain more.
The roots grow best where the best
food is to be found They grow in
greater or less quantity in every drec-
ton. If one finds good food, it flour
ishes and sends out numerous branches
Many Of the smaller roots of trees die
every Autumn when the leaves die. and
others grow in spring. Near cherry
tree in my yard was a rustic basket
without bottom, filed with rich soil
On removing the basket and earth,
cherry roots were found in large num-
bers near the top of the soil They
had grown full of small branches where
the soil was good. Roots in soil will
grow up Just as well as down, and do
