on his pale. thin face, as holding out
his long, white hands to me he said,
"Jenny, your sailors below"
81 have just been telling Jenny"
said Mrs. Belden, ''that we must get
away from the sea-shore to free her
from these low associates
Low associate ! Jim, my prince of
men, my saviour :!

Belden, as Louis stood silent.
I, too. saw but one course and yet

these years, they had made my life SO
luxurious and pleasurable should / 60
away from them into the obscurity and
poverty of my early life again ?
= At that moment Jim's sun-burned
face appeared at the door. He stood
with his cap in his hand, eager, yet
modest, his face alight, his eyes gleam-
ing behind Louis's thin, calm counte-
nance. Il sail the day after tomorrow,
Jenny, and I couldn't risk the chance
of not seeing you"
Mrs Belden made naughty gesture
with her hand, as if she would have
warned off the intruder.
"Wait, mother said Louis, calmly.
"Of course Jennie's good sense will tell
her what is right and she belongs to
me, you know"
l saw Jim give great start. The
blood flushed up hotly into his brown
cheeks. There was a pause for nao-
ment; then Jim said, passing his hand
over his forehead, as if he were not
quite clear as to what he heard:
"Is it SO with thee, my little Jennie ?
Will my little girl be happy always
away from her poor old Jim %
"Poor old Jim I" That was what
used to call him in my childish days,
striking his hand and comforting him

sert him now ?
For answer l took from my finger a
glittering ring which Louis had made

and 1 will love him without them the
rest of my life. Forgive me Louis;
am not fit, as you see, for wealth and
splendor. 1t is natural for me to re-
turn to my kind. Come, let US part il
peace"
Mrs. Belden rose; her eyes were like
the flaming sword that drove Adam anG
Eve from paradise. She would have
spurned us from her presence.
But Louis laid his hand calmly upoI

THE LETTERS AT SCHOOL.


One day the letters went to school,
And tried to learn each other
They got so mixed twas really hard
To pick out one from t'other.
A went in first, and 2 went last;
The rest all went between them
X, L and NJ. and n, o. p
! wish you could have seen themi
b, c, d. Z and J. X, L.
Soon jostled well their betters;
Or, TT grieve to say
We're very naughty letters.
or course, ere long, they came TO words
What else could be expected?
Till made D. J, and
Decidedly detected.
Now, through It all. the Consonants
Were rudest and uncouthest,
While all the pretty Vowel girls
Were certainly the smoOthest.
And simple U kept far from Q.
With face demure and moral
because she sald, we are, We TWO,
so apt to start a quarrell"
But spiteful said, "Pooh for u"
(Which made her feel quite bitter).
And, calling o. L. II TO help.
He really tried to hit her.
Cried A, Now and G, come herel
II both viii aid minute.
Good win join in making peace.
Or else the mischief's In IT."
And smiling E. the ready sprlte.
Said "Yes, and count me double"
This done. sweet peace shone DER the scene.
And gone was all the troubled
Meanwhile, when U and made up.
The Constants looked about them.
And kissed the vowels. for, you see,
They eouldn't do without them.

1t is a great misfortune to have fret
full disposition. 1t takes the fragrance
out of ones life, and leaves only weeds
where cheerful disposition would cause
flowers to bloom. The habit of fretting
is one that grows rapidly unless it be
sternly repressed, and the best way to
overcome it is to try always to look on
the cheerful side of things.

FORTY THOUSAND BALES.

Yesterday the president of the New Orleans
and Red River Transportation Company re.
ceived the following important telegram:
FULTON, Ark, November 5, 1877
Jos. A. Aiken. New Orleans:
Heavy drift has formed raft in Red river
above Shreveport. Navigation suspended un.
til 1t Is removed.
MATT L. SoovELI,
Master Steamer 10. Bryarly.
Immediately on the receipt of this telegram
Capt. Aiken sent dispatch detailing the facts
to Major Benyard United States Engineer at
Shreveport in charge of the operations to
keep the raft open, and he promptly re-
piled that he had no funds.
A telegram was then sent to Messrs Ellis
and Gibson, asking them to urge the Secre-
tary of War to order the important work of
removing the new distractions in Red River
without delay.
Messrs. Ellis and Gibson, and also
Judge Elan, of the Red River district,
should act with the greatest prompti-
tude in this matter. The cotton sea-
son Is just opening, and there are not
less than forty thousand bales of cotton
above the Red River raft region to be shipped
uoWh oiC AlfOl W LiliS CiIy. luc luGeIeSU
OF New Orleans Is not, therefore, alone in
volved in the immediate removal of the OBJ
structions which threaten to cut off the upper
Red River country from this market. The peo-
pie of large part Of Arkansas, Texas and the
Indian Territory will be seriously discom-
NODDED and injured if the raft is permitted to
reform at this time for even a few months.
The work the Secretary Of War is asked to
have done affects three States and a Terri
tory. And while delay in this matter will seri-
ously injure such large interests, 1t would be
the worst economy In the world toward the
government. 1t cost large sum of money
to remove the raft in the first place, and every
day that the removal of the new obstruction
is delayed the new raft will increase in size
and solidity and require an increased expense
to remove 1t, which the government will be
bound finally to do, for two reasons first, the
of the country affected requires it;
and second, the United States is obligated
by treaty with the Indians of the Territory
TO remove the raft ami keep the navigation
Of Red river open. A very small expenditure
BY the Secretary of War right now may OBJ
viate the necessity Of much larger one later

State; and, upon the other hand, they will find
1t difficult to learn to think that any official Of
their present State government ought to Have
claimed on grounds of law or equity, how
ever strong, the salary Of an office before he
filled 1t.
Upon the whole, until the Supreme Court
has pronounced in this issue, the people, unac-
quainted with the subtlety and refinements
OF the law, will believe, whatever we or others
may think or say, that the Office of Assistant
Attorney General was vacant from January
to March %, 1877, and that the $676 at issue
justly belongs only to the State.

AN ISSUE OF SALARY.

In the Sunday issue of the DEMOCRAT we
gave at some length the proceedings in the
suit of Fl. G. Dibble for an unpaid balance of
salary he claims is due him as Assistant At
torney General from the 1st of January to the
ed of March, 1877. It is not necessary to re-
state the grounds upon which this claim is
based. The case is interesting chiefly because
the present Assistant Attorney General, who
was appointed by Gov. Nichols and qualified
March %, 1877. under act 35 Of 1874, and sub
sequently under act No. 10. of the extra ses-
sion of 1877, has drawn the salary of the office
for the first quarter Of 1877, including the
whole of January and February and twenty
two days OF March, though he was not ap-
pointed and did not qualify until the 22d Of
the latter month.
The Assistant Attorney General claims that
though he was not Assistant Attorney Gen
eral during the two months and twenty-five
days specified and for which he has drawn
pay, he was entitled in law and equity to
the salary, because the work of these months,
owing to the extraordinary condition of
public affairs, had been permitted to accu-
mulate, and he performed it all after he came
into Office. He further claims that the Legis-
lature, by act At, extra session of 1877, evil
IDENTIFY intended that the whole of the appro-
priation of $1,000 salary per annum was in
tended for the incumbent of the new Office,
created by act No 10, extra session of 1877.
With the legal questions presented it is not
our intention here to deal. The parties con-
cerned are before the courts and we presume
the case will go finally to the Supreme Court;
and indeed it ought to go there. The claim
of both parties is of singular character
considering all the circumstances, and the
people will never believe that either Of the
claimants ought to have the money at stake,
except upon decision of SO august tribunal
as the present Supreme Court.
There may be law, and there seems to be-
to sustain Mr. Dibble's claim; there may
be law, and there seems to be, to justify
Mr.. Egan's; but of this we are certain, the
great mass of the people will never be able to
understand why man should receive $676
from the State as salary for services as As
sistant Attorney General when, during the
period for which the salary is claimed, he was

NEW ORLEANS, NOVEMBER 8, 1877.

At the request OF the members Of the bar OF
Adams county, Miss, we this morning print
the resolutions of their meeting held at
Natchez on the 3Oth ult., denouncing the SIAN
derous charges against Judge Jas. NJ Smiley,
of the Tenth Circuit Court circulated by the
Times of this city. Among the signers of
these resolutions we note several gentlemen
who we know rank socially and professionally
among the first men of our sister State.
The statement made by Mr.. Catchings to the
Picayune. for which, we regret to say, he was
ridiculed and vulgarly abused by the Times,
Is very much In accord with the utterances
of the Natchez bar. AS for Judge Smiley
before the war he was an honored and re-
spected lawyer and. we believe, Judge in Mis-
sissippi His character was thus established
ut time when the moral tone Of the country
was far higher than it Is now. and it was
simply preposterous to assail him as a cor
rupt or drunken Judge.
The Times has been very unfortunate in
the whole matter of the Pike and Amite
county troubles, and we trust this will be
warning to it. The bloody-shirt banner has
been furled In the North Louisiana and Mis-
sssipp are free States and their public officials
are able and willing to enforce the laws and
protect all classes Of citizens. Consequently
there Is no need, even for the most subservient
journals in the South, to malign and SANDER
their own people, or to condemn without a
full and thorough investigation of the facts,
rs drunken and corrupt officials encouraging
lawlessness, those judges who do not hasten
to mercilessly imprison or hang every white
man charged with perpetrating an outrage
upon negro.
