The radical journals do not hest.
tate to insinuate that Madame Mac
Mahon is at the bottom of the
present crisis. "Seek for the wo-
mani" cries the Radical. "In
every violation of the rules of com
mon law, in every infraction fore
seen and punished by the penal
code, an axiom in force in the
gloomy offices of judges and of
police offices requires a search for
the woman. Without Marie An
tOinette, it is possible that the
French Revolution might have
been limited to the ~inofensiye
night Of the fourth of August, fol-.
lowed by a peaceful remonstrance
to the good King Louis XVI. To-
day, in events that are still near to
us, we seek for the woman. And
perhaps a certain cotemporaneous
too cOtempOraneous-event, like
the Moyaux affair, may have its
sole explanation in the predomi-
nance OF a bold and ambitious fe-
male brain over that of a feeble and
subordinate man. Seek the woman,
and you may, perhaps, discover the
why and wherefore Of unforeseen
masculine resolutions"
Nor is this all; the brilliant XIX
Steele, the organ Of About and of
Sarcey, thus terminates one Of its
leading articles: "We have had the
war of the empress in 1S7O-in 1877,
let us not have the wal Of the Sacred.
Heart"

jackson Sun. June Sth.l
The editor of the Wing and Tri-
bune wants to know who conceived
the idea that the querist about the
meaning Of a punger gourd might
find a reply by placing his hand up
on his head. He says that "Brother
Enloe," of the Sun or the LEDGER
Liner has committed larceny"
Wenever saw the LEDGER paragraph
until our neighbor reproduced il
last week and as that is not dat
ed, we are in the dark as to the is
sue OF the LEDGER which contained
1t. But we can produce parol as
well as clreumstantial proof of pa
ternity. The parol proof we omit,
but to ease the mind of a friend. we
will state circumstantially that we
got the idea by looking over the
back of a church pew at the head
of the pious editor of a neigbbor.
ing publication, here nameless, and
under our professional license fitted
it on the head Of brother White. of
the Lebanon Herald.

ANttSi III NoW lOfk llmee.l
| do not think that Senator Nor.
toms able letter is here universally
considered the " sovereignest thing
on earth for the inward bruise" Of
doubling and disappointed Repub-
llcans. Its logic is at best, they
say, a benumbing opiate. There
seems to me a dreary tone of fatal
ism about it. A wall of hopeless
ness runs through it. "Too late,
too late, ye cannot enter now. "
Its statement of the main question:,
Should the President yield to the
inevitable, or proceed only to inev-
table defeat?" chills ones blood.
Mr.. Morton is a strong man, a very
Samson among ordinary politicians,
but this letter is the language of a
Samson shorn and bound. It is a
cool, calm, almost sullen acknowl-
edgment Of inter powerlessness, of
moral as well as political surrender.
Altogether, this lett1r is very de-
pressing reading for hot weather.
II may be a defense for President
Hayes, a man Of scruples aud obi
cations, hemmed in by difficulties
and fettered by pledges, but it
would not have been a defense, or
rather would not have been needed,
for President Jackson, in like cir
cumstances.

A PROFOUND sensation has been
created in Kentucky by the discov-
cry of the fact that the treasurer of
the Kentucky press association is
short in his ACCOUNT. 1t is boldly
charged that he squandered the
money in high living. The amount
for which he fails to account is
thought to be about two dollars
and twenty-five cents, though some
do say eighty-fve. The name of
the old gentleman is Oraddock, and
he has hitherto stood high in the

the press.

They don't seem TO be concerned as 9th

the governor calls the legislature togeth'

favor the States paying all she can Of
her indebtedness, and if q liberal COM

as far as they can, and would have their

JUDGE TRIMBLE IN TROUBLE.

y Judge j. f. Trimble, al Union par
ish, was until the late election District
Judge Of the Eleventh District. He
was, also, for some time secretary and
treasurer of the school board OF Union
parish. Quite recently suit was brought
against Judge Trfmble for an alleged
defalcation as school treasurer. Col.
Richardson, of this city, was employed
by the Judge to defend the suit, and
from the Colonel we learn that the
showing of the Judge before Judge
Roberts, Parish j Judge, WAS regarded as
satisfactory, except that some Of the
school books were not produced. Theae

the Park is a good place to see all the

heart to make u fight over this issue.
The strongest battle may come from
those of our own ranks who do noe
desire their salaries reduced or their
soft places interrupted. AS to our
colored people, they are rapidly learn.
ing where their true interest lies, ana
are not apt to get excited over ques-
ton where a reduction OF taxation and
the lessening of their burdens will ne
the issue. In those parishes where
they have control hope they Will
send delegates from the best ana least
partisan Of their race. They should be
fully and truly represented and all their
interests properly cared for.
A convention elected under the re.
form ides, that now absOrbs the atten-
ton ot the State, and at u time when
the carbet-bagger has not been able to
recover from the shock of last spring,
will be far less partisan than the pre-
sent General Assembly. An election
under such circumstances and when no
other officers are to be chosen, will
have but little Of the elements Of ex-
element about it. This idea OF poltei-
cal excitement is q lifeless sCaare-crOW.
