the CAMPAIGN.

From the New Orleans Democrat
There il really an inspiring tone
in the bugles of the country Democ-
racy of this State already along the
lines. Our country exchanges breathe
spirit which found its first vigor-
GUS expression in the Baton Rouge
city election last Monday. 1t is EVIL
dent this is to be no sham fight. The
Democrats in every section of the
State have learned the utter futility
of attempting to accomplish any
good end by concessions of princi
pies, or by compromises of any char
acter. The cordial acceptance of
this fact is the first prerequisite of
victory, because it means the solid,
compact, resolute, desperate organ
ization of the people for the redemp-
ton of the State. The long and
profigate reign of the Radical party
has done much to break down the
healthy public sentiment of the
State, especially that of New Or
leans. Men have yielded to the
temptation to sacrifice selfrespect
for participation in the unclean
rewards of Radfcalism, others have
grown weary of we'll doing; others,
again in despair, have folded their
hands and are disposed to float with
the current, foul as it is. There is,
however, we believe, enough true
and dauntless manhood left in the
State to make stand and rally to
our banners all tue faint Of heart;
all who have not already sold honor,
manhood, country, for some dirty
little Office, or the promise of one.
Louisiana now needs all the devO.
ton, courage and patriotism of hel
people, and he is but q recreant who
refuses to fight her battle. Lamar
tine once very beautifully said, "NC
cause is hopeless while spark o.
resistance burns in one true woman's
heart.n This is true, and when al
has beeu said that men can say
to rally our forces, the women o
Louisiana will force the laggards t.
the front. We can carry Louisiana
by twenty thousand majority it ou
people will throw themselves hear
and soul into the contest.
"Paradise lies under the SHADOW
of swords,n exclaimed Kaled as b.
rallied his scattered band of Arabs
to charge aud route the Syrain hosts
Peace, prosperity, honor, men o
Louisiana, lie under the shadow o
the banners of the Democracy, ant
if we would secure those blessing
for our State we must follow the f1a&
that symbolizes them.

WEALTH.

z
with care is ignorant Of the
truth, that an increase Of wealth,
is often the precursor Of degene-
racy and decay. As a rule, it is
true of nations, families, and in
dividuals. It is said that there
are exceptions to all rules, but
we presume there are as few ex-
captions to this as any other
It is one of the strangest freaks
belonging to humanity, to per-
sue with unwearied diligence,
that, which all history teaches
must bring ruin in the end. But
we are all in it and somehow we
can't help it. The race for wealth,
like a mighty current, seems to
be sweeping around the globe
and has drawn into the stream,
all classes of all nations. Once
before in the worlds history did
a similar mania possess the peo-
pie and the result was the wreck
of empires, the destruction of
nations, and general desolation,
ruin and suffering among the
people. What is to be the end
of the present mania God only
knows. But the corruption in
high places and the general bad
faith and distrust among all
classes indicates a state OF
wrecklessness in morals, that
portends evil. It is not confined
to America alone. Every nation
on the globe is as corrupt as our
own. The great hue and cry re-
Gently made about corruption in
our own nation arises from the
fact that we have been an excep-
ton to the rule until a few years
back, while it has become to be
the nominal state of other ma
tons and is hardly noticed by
the press and the people. The
governments of other nations, is
better adapted to suit the wants
| of the avaricious and lovers Of
power, than ours-power is con-
centrated in all other nations,
and a few lords and mobiles can
control and fitch from the people
as they please, and have done SC
until it is no longer noticed by
the people. Only think of four
millions of dollars taken from
the hard earnings of the people
and given to Prince Albert te
spend on a pleasure trip to India

With all our faults such an in.

to endure the jeers of the press

From the Boston Herald.
In brief interview with the Hon. Charles
Francis Adams at his Quincy home. imme-
diateiy after the reception of the news OF
Gov. Tilden's nomination, the veteran
statesman very frankly gave his opinion OF
the nomination.
Mr.. Adams expressed his surprise at the
conventions arriving at so speedy deci-
sion. That Mr.. Tilden had secured the
showed his great strength in the party.
MIR. Tilden, said Mr.. Adams, is for
midable candidate, especially on the hard
money platform. With Mr.. Tilden and
this platform the Democratic party stands
better, morally, before the people than
does the Republican party. Hayes is moth
ing; respectable, no doubt, but withou:
any record as a reformer.
Iliden is in himself platform. He has
made his record Of the two, said MIR.
Adams, very decidedly, | would infni
tey prefer to see Mr.. Tilden in the exec
utlve chair. Mr.. Adams further said that
he had feared Tilden's enemies would stab
him in the back. His foes were jobbers
and corrupt men. He will have hidden
enemies to Encounter in the coming cam
paign. The traditionary discipline of the
Democratic party, the party pride and in.
clination, will cause all Democrats to fall
into line for Mr. Tilden.
Mr.. Adams also said he thought Mr.
Tilden would carry his own state. The in
dependent vote will probably divide, some
of the voters with Republican predelection'
going for Hayes However, Gov. Tildep viii

corruption who desire to see real work ac

As to the other candidates before thu
st. Louis convention, Mr. Adams though
them all weak Hancock would have beer

military man. There is reaction, per
haps temporary, against military men, ow

SUICIDE.-On Saturday last, J. Stewart
Merritt, farmer about twenty five yeas
of age, living near 81. Augustine, in this
county, hanged himself i'll his barn in lit
of melancholy. 1t was only this Spring
that he set up farming on his own RESPONSE
bility, making some of his purchases on
credit. His mother became his surety,
and although she assured him he need not
worry himself about his bills, the debt
seemed to prey upon his mind and is sup
posed to have caused him to take his life.
One day previously, last week, Mr.. Mer-
rift went to his barn and arranged the
rope with which to hang himself, and even
adjusted it about his neck, but became SD
horror stricken at the thought that he
abandoned his purpose, making full con-
fession to his brother. Being unusually
gloomy ON Saturday, he repeated the effort
and succeeded. His sister knew he was in
terrible agitation, for she had had oc-
cason to speak to him Of his depression,
and as he remained away longer than usual,
she went in search of him and found him
hanging in the barn, dead. He had evil
IDENTIFY tied one end OF the rope around
beam and the other about his neck and
then jumped off, as his neck was broken.
John Lavender and George Derrickson cut
the body down.
The misfortune of Mr.. Merritt is hered-
tary. His grandfather drowned himself at
Bradford's Point, on the Bohemia river;
his uncle shot himself on Bohemia Manor,
few years ago, aud his father died in a
Philadelphia insane asylum. 1t is a re-
markable fact that this is the third suicide
in this neighborhood within year. Last
Spring, Joshua f. Bddle. farming in
Middle Neck, became temporarily insane
at the loss of his wife, and hung himself
III his barn. Shortly after this, a young
man named Thomas Wood, residing in
Delaware, near the boundary line, cut his
throat with razor, and died within a day
or two.
