TIE ROMANCE OF INVENTION.

And what in the world has there been
romantic about invention since the
sublime idea of the guillotine was con-
ceiyed? Well, truth to say, invention
deals rather with the stern and severe
logic Of facts than with the poetry of fic-
ton. It has in it none Of the fine frenzy
Of the old romaunts, yet by it an epic has
been written in deeds during the present
century which far surpasses in grandeur
ell the Iliads of the bards from Homer to
Milton-an epic whose rythmic beauties
will be heard sounding down the colon
nades of time to remotest posterity, pro-
claiming the triumphs of the useful and
the victories of genius over the material
and physical world, as poetry has cele-
brated the glories of the beautiful and
the heroic, and apotheosized the warriors
who have triumphed and the martyrs who
have suffered.
The triumphs Of the inventors have
been the victories of peace, no less re-
nowned than those of war. What though
there be perpetual struggle among the
warning peoples Of the world for that
tabled harvest, more terrible than the ills
contained in the accursed casket of Pan
dora, the day must come, if the statists of
the present and seers of the past are not
terribly at fault, when war will no longer
be regarded as proper calling for civil
lied human beings, and standing armies
will be abolished as an intolerable burden.
Dragons teeth, as we recently showed,
have been the most baneful source of evil
to mankind. It is indeed difficult to con-
ceive an invention, no matter how pacific
in its character, which the warning tend
encies of humanity do not render tributary
to the arts of War. The peaceful Watt,
dreaming over the first dawnings of a
grand intellectual conception and at.
tempting to grasp the inspiration which
Fulton subsequently seize md reduced
to practice, and thephllosf -,
like another Prometheus,s
Of heaven, thus paving @
more practical Morse,l n
their humanitarian inc ~
were adding new and terrible auxlA. es
to war, and, with the wholesome seeds of
progress, were sowing the tares of discord'
The steam engine, the electric tele-
graph, the railway, the steamboat, and
the various contrivances by which news
is carried to the ends of the earth quicker
than Puck ever dared to dream of, have
been most useful in the development of
commerce; agriculture and science, and
we'll would it have been had their uses
been confined to these benevolent, pro-
gressive purposes; but as with gunpowder
and other formidable agencies, they are
of being converted into in |
struments Of tyranny, and are as effec-
i've tor purposes of destruction as they
ire useful in the arts of peace.
But it is needless to repine over the |
base uses to which these great discoveries
md inventions have been subjected. |
There has been no unmixed good in the
vorld since the first fruitage of the tree
# knowledge. Let US rather rejoice at |
he possibilities Of good such inventions

DUB CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

On Tuesday next the voters of this State
are to choose Governor for Louisiana.
Before the people are two candidates, gen.
tlemen representing two political parties;
both are men of education and refine
ment The one was educated at the
Military Academy Of the United
States at West Point; he rendered
his sword to the Southern Confederacy,
and lost an arm and leg in fighting
against the Union. As Q gentlemen, his
character is above roproach. Our can
didate, the choice of the Republican party,
is Hon. s. B. Packard. He is man who
requires and needs no apologies in his be-
half. He is one Of the best men in the
Republican party, and one Of the best men
in Louisiana. He has been tried in the

past and found faithful to his country,
steadfast and reliable as Republican.
When young man Mr.. Packard left his
books and profession in q Northern law
Office, and entered the Union army with
his sword drawn and uplifted against
rebellion. He has not finched nor
wavered; he has not lowered his hand
to become merely popular, or to gain
wealth. He is an honest man in all
respects, and he has an honest mans
reward-universal respect and very little
money. Mr.. Packard, previous to this
campaign, has been United States mar
shall of the Louisiana district for some
years. His administra ton of the delicate
and sometimes unpleasant duties of that
Office has been satisfactory to the Presi-
dent of the United States, to the Attorney
General. to the judges who have held
court here, to the attorneys, and to every
law-abiding citizen of our State. The
congressional committee which came
here to make political capital for Demo-
cratic speculation, were forced to admit
that his accounts were correct, and that
Mr.. Packard was a good marshal Mr..
Mari and other leading Democrats, men,
bers of the bar, were pleased to speak Of
Mr.. Packard in the highest praise, as o
marshal, when called before the COMM
tee. MI. Packard's best praise is fourd IN
the testimony of honest men in his favor,
in the Endorsement ottawa biding;itizens,
and in the enmity of those who dread the
draw Of the halter of the lSw. He has
stood by his country against rebellion,
and stood by the Law against crime.
Those who oppose Ais election care
little for their country and less Tor
law. Mr. Packed is no experiment;
he is faithful among the faithful,
and can be trusted to give US peace
and prosperity SO far as lies in the
power ola Governor. He is no adven-
turer; ior fifteen years he has lived in
LOO.b!dud, NC Ad1I1cu 0CAC, LID CuAAuACA
h.ve been born here, and are to grow up
and be educated here; his home and all he
holds dearest is with and among the peo-
pie of Louisiana, and he is the best man
who can possibly be elected Governor.
Through all the bitterness of this bitter
canvass, Mr.. Packard has been uniformly
we'll treated by the press. There was
nothing that could be truthfully said
against him, and but one paper, of little |
Importance, has endeavored to injure his |
fair fame for political gain. 1t is high |
time that the word "carpet-bagger," ap-
piled as term of contempt to citizens
not born in this State, should become OBJ
,olete. 1t is time that mud throwing
should cease, especially in community
living in hothouses. We look at Mr..
Packard as an honorable, intelligent gen.
leman, calm and courteous as an official,
irm and brave as leader, good citizen
If Louisiana, and are proud Of him as
With anything like fair
lection he can be elected. We hope and
rust that the citizens Of our State will so
ar honor themselves on Tuesday as to
,eep the peace and make Stephen B.
packard Governor.

ORDERS AND C0UNTER.ORDERs.

1t would puzzle a stranger to know
whether the present registration and
pending election we're under the charge
Of the officers appointed by law, or the
various irresponsible committees of the
Democratic party which have set them
selves up as sources OF authority. Messrs.
Burke and Patton, who are, after all. for
the purposes of the election merely pri-
vate citizens, publish proclamations, Or
ders, bulletins, letters and documents of
all kinds, with al the showing of author
ity belonging to commanders-in-chief of
great armies on the eve of a ''world win
ming battle" The State Registrar is con-
stantly annoyed by visitors, communion
lions signed by persons styling them
selves something or other in the Demo-
cratic-C Conservative party; he is button
holed on the street, badgered in his Office,
reasoned with in the cars, and bored and
vexed in every conceivable capacity by
the representatives of candidates who are
striving to win, no matter how, and to Sc
cure every advantage which brings with
it hope of success.
About the latest exhibition of this dis
position to usurp functions conferred by
law upon the State officers, is shown in
series of resolutions passed by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee relative to
the location of election polls in the coun-
try. This committee proceeds upon the
absurd assumption that if the supervisors
do not discharge their duties to suit the
notions of Tom, Dick and Harry, then
these dissatisfied gentlemen may take
hold and do it for them. This is carried
to the extreme length of appointing and
swearing in commissioners of election by
the qualified voters at public meeting to
be held for that purpose. This idea must
have originated in the second or third
ward, where the custom has prevailed dur
ing the past six months of establishing
two separate polls in all their primary
elections. The hostile factions assembled
around their respective voting places and
all day as fast as they could, and
each claimed the victory at night. Every
body in the city is familiar with the |
squabbles of the Diamond and Shakespeare
actions in the second ward, and the
struggles Finnerty and Fitzpatrick had |
With their rivals in the third. The Wis
lom of the whole Democratic party has |
been unable to decide to this day the |
question of fact raised, which faction had !
