the printers art. The entire Office is at
once intimidated. It is Faust, or Gut
tcnberg come to life. Finally, this
genius gets charge of an office. The
squash patches then come into promi-
nence, and the biggest watermelon be-
comes the towering theme Of an immor-
tai lyric, set out of the pi box. He de-
livers his opinions with lavish prof.ls-
ion, known all the great men Of the
day and, Byron-like, has laid his hand
upon the oceans mate, and talked with
the thunder as friend to friend. Indig-
nant Mt the profiigacy of the age, he
leaves his Office some night in dire con-
fusion and his landlady minus two
months board.
We are not disposed to decry Press
associations, but 1t it our deliberate
judgment that for all practical business
purposes the best place for reform is ir
each and every Office first, and then Il
beneficial combination will be not only
possible, but desirable.

1t is hard to deny to our Intelligent
neighbor Of the Intelligencer the dis
tinction of !, public benefactor. He has
tailored faithfully to earn our applause,
but as he sits at the gates the work OF

pretensions.
There is boldness in the professions,
but no virtue.
Our neighbor invites us to take n

we counsel him to halt. He is getting

The crisis in the election Of President
has been reached. The Louisiana cast
is before the Electoral Commission, at
ter lengthy and able arguments by Car
pcnter, Shellaberger, TrumbulI, Evarts

sioners, Senator Edtnunds notably, ap-
pear to think that the Commission,
ought to go behind the returns from.

Board. Should this course be pursued,
the result will be either the counting OF
vote of Louisiana for Til'len, or its re-
lection IN toto. The Commissioners
may inquire into the evidences Of FRAUD
in counting the vote, and likewise a.

The cotton market has been very
brisk tho past three days. Yesterday
tho excitement eliminated. a bale
coming from tho hills was received ut
the ferry by IL clerks and escorted to
town. There was an intense struggle,
buta young; man who gets Sl5 a-month
md his victuals and clothes, carried OF
the prize ut l2!c., remarking IA he told
.Surshnor to weigh the bale that he did
not care for losing So on the bale. 1t
vas just then that word came there was
Il bale coming from Gum Swamp and
had been signated ut Young's Bayou.
The Fourteen withdrew their twenty
eight hands from their pockets ,and set
forth in run. Some Of the buyers
procured steeds. and We're first to greet
the second bale. The excitement fol-
lowing its arrival ON DeSiard stree,
amounted to an uproar. The old ne
gro who owned the bale left town by
the nearest cut to the woods. The dri-
YER fell dead off his mule, struck with
paralysis of both cars. The mules
barely survived, and are now in the
pound. The Fourteen went each his
way laughing, with two pounds of cot
ton in his mouth.
