SOUND SLEEP.-lt is wonderful how
much may be zone TO protract existence by
the habItual restorative of sound sleep.
Late hours under mental strain are, of
course, Incompatible with this sOlace-
ment. On this topic DR.. Richardson says
it has been painfal for him to trace the
beginnings of pulmonary consumption to
late hours at "unesrthly balls and even
ing parties," by which rest is broken and
encrOachments made on the constitution.
But, he adds, ''if in middle age the habit
of taking deficient and irregular sleep be
still malr tanned, every source of depres-
sion, every latent form of disease, is quick
ened and intensified. The sleepless ex-
haustiou allies itself with all other pro-
cesses of exhaustion, or it kills imper-
Ceptibly by rapid Introduction of pTema-
tuTe old age, which leads directly to pre-
mature dissolution" There, at once, is
an explanation why many people die
earlier than they ought to do. They vic.
late the primary principle of taking a
regular nights rest. If they sleep, it is
disturbed; they dream all sorts of nom
serse-that is to sey, they do not sleep
soundly or for any useful purpose for
dreaming is nothing more than wild,
imaginative notions passing through the
brain while half sleeping or doing. In
dreaming there is no proper or restorative
rest.-O Chambers Journal

THE MAN OF THE WEST.

Posterity will be astonished that the
regarded New Orleans as a suburb of New
York. Men curious of antiquity will dis
inter the dusty Democrat, Picdy,tne and
Times from oblivion and wonder that
there was ever party or an organ pre-
ferring a New York railroad agent to a
Western statesman, bound to secure COM
mercial treaties and outlets for his section.
Above all, will ths student of the future
stand amazed that New Orleans should
have given its political influence to a
party which denied it national railroad,
protection levees, and postal service to
Brazil. Yet such will be the evidence of
history. The Democracy of New Orleans
has stuck to panty that has gone back
on them in peace as it had done in war.
The Republican party has, however,
succeeded, in spite of the most murder
GUS opposition, in carrying the State Of
Louisiana for man of the West He will
carry out the policy of that great Western
statesman, Henry Clay. He will, we
trust, appoint Western Secretary OF
State, for the first time in the third of a
century, and we may anticipate that New
Orleans will be made the depot and entire
pot of the West in the grand continental
commerce that is impending and inevita-
BILE. New Orleans has been thus say ed
against her will. New York has been de-
prived of national control. She can not
close our outlet deny our access to the
Pacific, and compel us to carry all our
commerce as tribute to her capital. The
man of the West will bring to the admin
istration of the government knowledge
of the South, and regard for the South
that will place New Orleans once more in
the path of progress and make her again
the seat of commercial power.

vided for all the youth of Louisiana. We
can see no reason why public lectures on
law, medicine and theology will not be
open to colored students here, as else
where.
The most important branch of educa-
ton to the colored people consists in the
application of science to chemical and
other manufactures, engineering, archi-
lecture, and to all the practical arts and
trades by which men gain living. We
do not choose to write an essay upon the
subject, but assert the conviction that the
colored people can conduct manufactures
and the mechanic arts with great advan-
tage to themselves and to society. Di-
rectly in the proportion that all men,
women and children are useful they are
respected and protected by society. 1t
is, therefore, the just duty of the patriot
or the philanthropist solicitous to estab-
fish the security of those rights which the
nation has accorded the colored people, to
create means of industrial independence
on their part, with high sense of their
industrial and creative value upon the
part of the whites. In this view we should
be pleased TO see polytechnic school re-
place the Straight University. We would
like to see technic or trade schools found
ed in every ward in our city, so that our
youth may be taught mode of indie
pendent industry without the drudgery
and servitude of an apprenticeship.
We shall hope to hear that the Mission
airy Association has determined not to
abandon its purpose to aid in the edu-
| cation of the colored race among US.
The experiment has Nuficed TO demon
strate capacity to profit by the lectures,
and sincere anxiety on the part of the
students to qualify themselves for profess
sional pursuits. 1t is to be hoped the
association will inquire how far literary
and professional opportunities may be af-
forded such students at our normal in
stitutions, and whether it will not pro-
mote the great and ultimate objects which
all have at heart to furnish those i'm
proved means of industry which always
react in favor of the intellectual elevation
| of society.

PRESUMABLY SATISFACTORY.

The news was received here Tuesday
evening that resolutio on had been intro
duced in Congress providing for the recog-
milton of the pretensions of Messrs.
Hampton and Nichols as Governors of
South Carolina and Louisiana, respec-
lively, and that, not receiving two-thirds
vote, it had failed to pass. This news of
itself produced a general feeling of chagrin
and disgust among the parasites of
Nichols, who had received almost hourly
assurances from Washington of the sue
cess of their cause.
The sequel, however, comes this morn
ing. The Republican friends of General
Nichols in the House explained the
matter satisfactorily" Guide DemocraD by
saying they were not yet convinced of the
good faith of the Southern Democrats.
Meantime, Nichols envoy extraordinary,
Major Burke, with his assistants, George
Sheridan and Bishop Wilmer, reinforced
by Colonel Penn, appear, according to
the Associated Press dispatches, TO have
made other arrangements for Nichols
future welfare which will render his
recognition q matter of minor importance.
1t is to be hoped the Democrats will be
satisfied, in the end, with the labors Of
these mysterious agencies.

But it is an insult to President Hayes to
suppose that he will abandon his political
friends and supporters in the South for
the personal advantage he would be like
ly to derive from the Cancellation of his
utterly routed enemies.
The President elect has not authorized
any one to speak for him since he wrote
his letter of acceptance. There has prob
than the recent article in the Ohio State
Journal, which excited a great deal of COM
ment, and drew from number of unau-
thorized persons some very unnecessary
apologies. 1t is remarkable and signif-
cant that the Democrats Immediately ac-
cepted with satisfaction these assurances
that the article did not mean anything
did not reflect Governor Hayes opinion
was not instigated by him, nor any one
else in authority. The fact is, Governor
Hayes has made no sign either affirmative
or negative in the premises, since the ar
ticle appeared. 1t was merely an argu-
ment, founded upon sound notions of po-
litical economy, in favor of upholding the
majority in Louisiana by the paid troops
Of the Federal government, who would be
otherwise unemployed, in preference to
calling the laborers from the corn, cane
and rice fields to act as militia.
Governor Hayes can not, if he wanted
to, ignore the fact that his title to the
Presidency rests upon precisely the same
basis as Mr.. Packards to the Office he
holds. That question being settled, the
constitution requires the President to
protect this State against domestic vio-
lence, upon the call of the Governor. II
he carries out this constitutional policy
in the South he will find it to work as
well as any he may adopt.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Some years ago, shortly after his inau-
guration, Governor Kellogg filed the va
cancy in the position of Reporter of the
Supreme Court by the appointment of
Hon. Charles Gayarre. The Governor
was influenced, in making this appoint
ment, by no partisan considerations.
Mr.. Gayarre was not Republican, and
it is presumed no power on earth could
make him one. Nobody who knew him,
and who recognized his valuable services
to his State and country in the past, cared
that he should be one. Enough. that he
was fair minded patriot Of the olden
days, whose fame as historian had per-
meated two continents, and who had re-
ceiyed the highest honors Of the people Of
his native State, before the present DEM
oeEslic leaders ia Louisiana bad been
born. Coming IN with the century, for

THE CABINET MAKERS,

President Hayes will not be without
volunteer, however he may fare for con-
constitutional advisers. One Bohemian
who "does Washington" for the Picdy,me,
has fixed up pretty fair concern which
he assures us embraces the names of men
who are prominent for positions in the
new Cabinet. 1t includes John Sherman
for Secretary of the Treasury, which may
possibly be correct. Senator Sherman is
eminently qualified for the position.
If Louisiana Republicans may be heard
in the matter, however, we wish to stipu-
late for Western or Southwestern man
for Secretary of State. If New York is
to be honored with Cabinet appoint
ment, let it be Attorney General. Coun-
selor Stoughton has recently rendered
some signal Services to the party es-
pecially in the Florida contest He would
make a good Attorney General, leaving
the President free to select some man liv-
ing in the valley of the Mississippi fol
Secretary of State. Illinois, Iowa or Wis.
consin can either of them supply this
want. The Secretary of the Navy from
East, the Treasury from the Centre, o.
State from the West, the Interior from the
South, and the Department of Justice
from New York city would be very sat
isfactory distribution of honors ani
powers.

THE SOUTHERN POLICY OF GOVERNOR
HAYES

Governor Hayes is now virtually Presi-
dent Of the United States, and the policy
of the administration win be practically
dictated by him, beginning with to-day.
The decision of the Electoral Commission
awarding the vote of South Carolina to
the Republican candidate disposes of the
last point of doubt which has been raised
by the Democratic managers. The Re-
publicans have never had doubt Of the
result, and their sagacity has again been
vindicated.
Since, therefore, it is evident that Hayes
Is not only the coming man, but has &C
tually come, the emissaries of the Louisi-
ana Democracy in Washington pretend to
have iscovered that he is about to intro
duce new policy in regard to the South.
As all roads lead to Rome, SO with our
White League pilgrims at the capital all
policies lead OF should lead to the Federal
postofices and other soft places. 1t is
assumed By these advisers Of public SEN
timent that the iPresident-elect win sur
round himself with the Southern politi-
clans who fought, voted. intrigued,
cheated and threatened a total disrup-
ton Of all things TO keep him ont Of the
White Hoase, while those who periled
their lives and spent their tine, money
and talents in securing The success Of the
Republican party are to be turned over
e their own oonscienoes for their reward.

do, however, was not consistent with the
designs of the Nichols people. A day or
two since it TRANSFERRED that Mr.. Gayarre
had been deposed from the position of
reporter of the Supreme Court, and Mr..
Percy Roberts appointed. Mr.. Roberts
has the name of being clever and we'll
read lawyer, with good standing before
the people and at the bar; but it is doubt
full if he adds anything to his reputation

CONDITIONS CONSEQUENT.

The conditions of a contract are prop
erly either specified in the instrument, or
such as may be justly implied from its
terms. 1t is something new, even in po-
litical engagements, to reserve a mental
condition, only known to one of the par
ties, and impose this as sine qua non of
compliance. Yet this last is precisely
what the Last Ditch Democracy propose
in regard to their own compromise Elect
oral Commission. We challenge any per-
son to point to single declaration that
unless the Democratic party should be
recognized in Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, the decision of the Electoral Commits
sion would be void.
The entire debate showed that the
measure was proposed by the Democracy
as fnality. 1t was accepted with
reluctance by the Republicans, and with
no other motive than that it might settle
the presidential question to the satisfac-
ton of the Democracy. How could the
Republicans have consented in advance
that the very States which Democracy
contested should be surrendered What
would be the popular verdict were it
known that the Republicans employed
the votes of these States to carry the
presidency, and then admitted they had
no right to do so? What would be the
sentiment Of the nation were it known
that the Democrats, claiming the election
of those State officers, had corruptly con-
sented that they should be counted for a
Republican President? The universal
opinion would be that such bargain and
corruption" had never been known in the
history of the government, and both par
| ties would be turned over to the contempt
of every honest mind in the republic.
Since there is no record or other evil
dence that any condition whatever was at
tached to the decision of the Electoral
Commission, we will show how unreason-
able it would be permit any consequent
conditions to be imposed now. The De-
mocracy have gone very far III derogation
of State rights in ''imprisoning citizens
of State for refusal to account to Con-
gress for the execution of official duties
imposed by the State" II, however, they
go beyond this and assert that an umpir-
age constituted to decide upon Federal
contest can also determine incidentally
who has been chosen to administer the
offices of the States, it would seem that
the State Rights Democracy have pretty
well surrendered the administration OF
the States, to be used as q sop, or lag.
.nidppe, in the confirmation of bargaining
made to settle the occupation of Federal
Office. The audacity and desperation Of
the Democracy occasions US no surprise,
but it would seem extraordinary that even
Democracy should expect the Repub'
hcans to invalidate and repudiate the very
votes to which they will have owed the
success of their candidates. No. These
vital votes will not prove
