s'The Eastern Question Again" the
former with the words "The Southern
Question Again" The Southern and
the Eastern questions, In fact, are just
now furnishing the world with news;
both are worked well by the news
mongers, for both assume new aspects
and new conditions every day, to be
contradicted the next day, reafflrmed
again the day after, and thus ever kept,
like battledore and shuttlecock. flying
from one side to the other.
This similarity is really alarming to
us. The Southern Question is
young, of only some ten years of exist
ence; 1t is to be hoped that it will not
take after its brother, the Eastern
Question" to which 1t bears such close
resemblance. This has employed all
the talent Of Europe fora century-has
been fixed, reflxed, arranged and re-
arranged a dozen times over, on a dozen
different bases, and Is still open, and In
a more confused state than ever. May
the Southern Question" escape this
chronic state of settlement, Of commits
sions and OF protocols.

II Packard meant to excite alarm by
his declaration that he would soon move
his government into some negro parish
and set up guerilla warfare, he has
certainly succeeded. The alarm pre-
yailing among the negroes of Tensas,
st. Charles and other colored parishes
at this threat OF Packard to carry his
government and his smallpox among
them is terrible and heart-rending.
and there Ia little doubt that II he
should attempt such a rash act as this
he would fall q victim to the just indig-
nation OF the terrified negroes.

They are at it again-we mean the
Washington correspondents, with their
silly twaddle about Returning Board
members of our Legislature. These
wiseacres know about as much of the
provisions of our constitution relative
to the organization of the Legislature
as they do OF the nebular hypothesis !;
yet, we are sorry to say, there are some
people here who hang upon their utter
ances with faith that is childlike and
blind. They will be surprised to find,
when the Commission comes here, how
little the findings of the Returning
Board will be taken into consideration
in any discussion Of the Louisiana
question
