Special Correspondence N. Q. Democrst.I

pLAouEMrNE, March 1, 1877.
Editor Dsmocrat-March greets US
wet and foul this morning, and we are
tempted to wonder liz 1t Is an omen Of
the political future.
Had the political past been as good
as the weather in our section our appre-
tensions would not be so serious, but
as 1t is, days of gloom and misfortune
seem before US; so near and so certain
that 1t does not seem possible to avert
them.
There is. it occurs to nae, but one way
Of arresting the ruin and desolation in
tended for US, and that is an answering
determination not to sumit a day to the
infamous rule Of Radicalism in our
State. This determination to resist Mr.
Packard's pretensions at all hazards,
no matter by whom supported, will save
our State. The Republican party is in
no condition to permit conflict Of any
kind now, and we should under no cir
cumstances fail to make their difficulty
our opportunity.
Planting here has progressed favora-
bly, and the prospects are fine. We trust
no severe cold is to follow the fine
weather we have lately had. It would
kill all the fruit and early vegetables,
now putting forth so finely.
The leeves in this section are nearly
completed, but we trust they will have
little water to resist as they are so
fresh.
We buried good citizen last Sun
day.. P. Patureau. Mr.. P. was part
owner Of the saw mill Of Patureau s.
Bifier. and was about it Saturday, and,
in passing from one side Of the mill to
band that runs the mill; this band is
run over a large drum attached to the
hy-wheel. and the hands often step
through it instead Of going round. Mr..
P, in stepping through, missed his
footing and fell upon the band; in
moment he was carried under the
driving-wheel and against the ma
chinery adjacent, and before he could
be extricared he was SO seriously hurt
that he died the next day.
You seem to think our swampers have
all their 90 logs CUT" and are anxious
lest there be no water. They have their
cut down, ready, when the water comes,
to throw them down and get them out.
The swampers are not by any means
apprehensive Of want of water as far
as the levees are concerned. If it come
in the river they will have plenty
through Grand Levee at Morganza, and
il MorganZa had been closed, the con-
dition of our levees, Notwithstanding
the "commendable zeal" bestowed
upon the levees, according to our legis-
lative reports by the Levee Company, is
such that swampers and others will not
fail to have ample water for floating
purposes.
We wonder how the Committee on
Levees Tor on the Levee Company, I
hardly know which, though it don't
matter can find out where the "com-
mendable zeal " of the Levee Company
comes in as far as building and keeping
up the leyees are concerned. The
leyees never were in a worse condition,
the Levee Company
got two prices for its work to keep them
up. They ale being built now for
twenty cents, and the Levee Company
will claim fifty. This may be their
" commendable zeal" PELICAN.

bOstOI lOSR,
Among the relics loaned to the Old
South exhibition by the town of Concord
are pair of scissors, Of which the fol-
loving interesting story is told: A
young, English staff officer was fire.
Quently sent to Concord to the house of
Col. James Barrett, on business con-
nected with the commissary depart
ment, and while awaiting for a reply
would amuse himself by talking loyalty
with James Barrett's oldest daughter,
Millicent, to hear her rebel replies. He
asked her what they would do If it
should become necessary for the colo
MES to resist, as there was not a per-
cartridges. She replied that they
s MOd'o bu nSs just as they n shot
bears. "That," said the young man,
would be too barbarous. Give me
piece OF pine and I will show you how"
After whiting the stick to the proper
form, he took the scissors and cut the
paper for the pattern cartridge. The
sequel shows how apt a scholar she
was, for all the cartridges were made
under hsr superintendent by the wo-
men of Concord, her only male assist
ant being her younger brother, the late
Major James Barrett, who drove the
last load Of cartridges from the house
after the British came in sight on the
10th of April, IT'S. There is also on
exhibition hymn book, which was
given by one of the prisoners taken
from the British brig Boxer in the fight
with the Enterprise, Of Portland. to the
sheriff who brought him to Boston for
exchange

There seems to have been given new inn
petts to rifle shooting in New Orleans Of late,
and where now we have rifiemen by fifties-
three years ago we had but very few. The
international matches and the improved guns,
have had much to do in improving this sport,
and some Of our best shots now, are what
might be called but beginners. Yesterday, at
the grounds of the New Orleans Rifle Club,
there was q sample Of this increased taste for
the rifle, for the park was crowded with
marksmen from quite an early hour, and in
the afternoon to enlyen the scene, scores of
ladies arrived
The contest of the day was for the presi-
dents badge, at 300 yards rest. After some
very fine shooting Mr.. B won it for the
fourth time. The next battle for it will take
place in two weeks, and Mr.. B. IS friends are
confident of his fifth success.
On next Sunday the contest for the cham
pionship badge will take place. the distance
being, off-hand, 500 yards, and it is open to all
riflemen We may expect some crack shoot
ing on that occasion, for many are already
practicing for it.

After the weeks labor. after the six days OF
hurry, care and perplexity, the ehlrch-going
people yesterday seemed to heartily appfe-
ciate the dawn Of that day of rest, and that
they might testify their gratitude, they
aocked to their sanctuaries to attend service
At High Mass the Cathedral, st. Patriek's,
Church Of the Immaculate Conception and st.
Alphons,s were crowded, and even up to the
hour Of opening service streams Of people
were centreing toward their portals. The
music in all Of these was very fine
DIR. Palmers church, as usual. was filled to
overfiowing, and the wrapped attention Of his
congregation testified how fully they enjoyed
the words of advice and consolation that came
from the lips Of that eloquent divine.
Christ Church, which may be called the
aristoeratic church Of the city, held O large
number and the impressive services of the
Anglican Church were hardly ever before rem
dered more earnestly and effective The
Carondeet street Methodist Church was also
largely attended, and when the services had
ended the number coming out seemed more
almost than the building could hold
1t was, without doubt, d churell-gotng Sum
day, and the several denominations were fully
represented. The cloudy sky served to mode
rate the temperature considerably, and the
short shower, during service, by half-past Il
o'clock gave way TO pleasant breeze, making
the walk home pleasant The spring contin-
| ues, and the ladies, brilliant III their bright
colors, now the fashion, never looked lovlier,
and the faces beneath flower bespangled bon
nets never sweeter.

We Need shade Trees.

Next to imposing architecture there is hard
ly any one thing that strikes the eye of
stranger quicker or gives more pleasure in q
city than to see its thoroughfares lined with
shade trees. The relief to the eye given by
the different shades of green in long avenue
of trees Is something most every one has felt.
and the softening effect it gives to the back
ground Of bricks and mortar, make 1t estheti-
cally necessity. Notwithstanding the fact
that we have many varieties Of oaks that grow
rapidly and stretch their branches sometimes
fifty and sixty feet, It seems singular that we
have so few streets adorned by them.
In midsummer they become almost neces-
sity, and the grateful feelings of pedestrian
who has to thread his way beneath the rays
of MONDAY sun are sufficient recompense
for the small expense required to give him
the boon Of refreshing relief.
In Europe and at the North there are many
tree planting societies whose object is to in
culcate taste for tree culture as well az to
beautify neighborhoods. Here these are not
necessary, for saplings can be obtained al
most without cost, and it only needs few
examples on a street to induce neighbors to
follow in the wake. Let us beautify our
streets

Randall's Hostility to Southern Internal
improvements.
Especial to N. o. Democrat

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Congressman
Ellis, of Louisiana, arrived here yester-
day. He speaks encouragingly Of the
business outlook in New Orleans since
the era Of peace, and predicts that ere
long the ante bellum days Of plenty will
return to the impoverished State Of
Louisiana.
He says that so far as his observation
goes, 1t leads him to believe that Milton
saylor ia the most popular candidate
for the speakership among the Gull
and Cotton States. He does not think
that Blackburn has any strength. for
the reason that a great many Of the
Southern representatives are of the
opinion that il the South gave him
its votes 1t would be constrained
on behalf of the Administration
that the, Southern people are not
willing to, recognize that Hayes
means to do all he can to relieve them
from the fettered condition which eight
years OF Radical hate and bondage had
reduced them to. He says Randall will
not be a candidate Of the Southern people
because OF his heretofore known hos
tility to the Texas Pacific Railroad
scheme and Southern internal improve.
