POLITTCAL NOTEe.

Sunday morning the Picayuale abused
the Hon. w. W. Grape as mot unlike 3
Frenehman," for his name, saying it was
given by the sailors when cast from 9
vessel on ths Massachusetts coast; his ma
tivity "nnbeknown to any ancestral linei"e
his politics, 50 Radical, Incorporating,
deliberate and vicious" and all because
He not only privately asserted, but pub.
hcly declared that they /. 6. Democratic
had intimidated and bulldOEed. as charged
by the board, and further did all in bis
power as a partisan and man to east the
shadow of distrust upon every piece Of tes-
l'mony ELECTED in our favor.
Mr.. Grape would not need this specimen
of the manner honest convictions are treat
ed in this part of the country, bat it will
illustrate to his friends the opportunity OF
freedom Of opinion allowed Republicans
here.
But the article caused the following COM
munication to be addressed the editor:
"cRAPo."
To the Editor of the Picayune:
have known the Hon. W. W. Grape
since 1916, when we were schOOlbOys; he
was my bonored guest while in this city on
congressional duty; he merits and com
mands the confidence and esteem Of such OF
our ex- Confederate and Democratic citizens
as the Hon. K. L. Gibson, I. L. Bayne,
ESQ, and others besides myself. These
will unite with me in expressing very great
regret that you should have published, on
February A, an article 30 unjust IS the one
headed lsCrapo." That article is no less
incorrect as to his family history than as
to his political principles.
Henry Grape, deceased, q Governor OF
Michigan, was the Hon. W. w. CrapOs
father. The son has always been and is

lsan-bitterly opposed to the Radicals in
his party, and also 70 military interference

If Louisiana has in the ranks Of Republican
politicians better friend than Mr.. Grape;

Mars Moons.

When the telegraph announced the
discovery by Prof. Hall that our neigh,
boring planet had two satellites, and the
dispatch was read the next morning al
ten thousand American breakfast tables,
what think you was the effect upon the
hearers? Some coloquy similar to the
following was sure to occur; "Mars
has two moons, heys Pass me the

tronnmers never saw them before
Another chop, please. | wonder what
they'll discover next? These corn

accustomed to startling discoveries and
announcements, that we take them as
a matter of course. Even truth must

EvARTs ON THE EFFICIENCY. The close
of Mr.. Evarts's speech at the New Eng
land dinner sketches the present politi-
cal situation about as we'll as it could be
done, as follows:
"There are three great questions be-
fore the people of this country to-day,
and they are all public, unselfish, patri-
otto and elevating to the individual and
are subjects of contemplation and of
action. They are public faith-(ap-
plause)-without which there is no
such thing as noble national life. Zap
plause.) The public service without
which, not being pnre. strong and noble,
makes all the p@ans and praise of free
government but doggerel in our ears.
With reference to the public debt there
are two. great parties, and there are
difficulties that include, perhaps, great
dangers, but there need not therefore
be any hostiities between North and
South, none between East and West,
none between class and class, none
between debtor aud creditor. We
need all our wealth. all our gold, all
our silver and all our industry. In all
our strife on this subject let as remem-

may be said that one good example
teaches more than many precepts. and
IN an after dinner speech the least said
the soonest mended, but nevertheless
there should be no step backward.
lCheers.) In magistrates, in statesmen,
must go on. (Cheers.) II is for you
to say-you as the people to say
whether or no the paths Of our public
life shall be clean and bright and noble,
and their tendency upward. I believe
that there Is great and good future to
this people In the fact that you have a
president who has pursued no devious

A Former Termonter Celebrates his

Mr.. j. s. Morgan, the present head of
the house founded by George Peabody,

from New York, sailed just week too

Sir Curtis and Lady Lampson, carrying
the customs of their native land across
the Atlantic with them, celebrated their

- II may DO safely predicted that
there will be no compulsory retirement
nom the presidents cabinet at present.
President Hayes Is not vacillating
time-server to surrender his convictions
of right and public policy because of a
defeat of a few Of his nominations for
administrative positions, however much
no may havo desired their confirmation
by the Senate. 1t ia not pretended that
there are any serious disagreements be-
tween him and members of his cabinet
upon the important issues now before
tho country. And If their rotations are
harmonious and their views of public
policy are net radically diverse, as we
have reason to suppose they are not,
there will be Ito sacrifices to "Conk-
ling's malevolent prejudices," or any
other partisan dlctatlon. We may rest
easy Oh that score.

Ey Gen. Eaton, commissioner of
education, has taken up the problem
which has SO long been discussed by
those who had neither tho opportunity
nor the brains to discuss it intclli-
gently, "a to whether the Indians are
or are not becoming extinct lie says
DR.. Riggs, the well known Indian
scholar and missionary, has been
in the habit of keeping life tables
for the tribes and more limit
ed Indian communities in which he liv
ed, and almost invariably he has found
the births to exceed the deaths. But
the most important conclusion which
he brings out is, that the period in
which savage passes from his inherit
ed mode Of life to the customs and
ways of civilization is one heavily try
ing and often fatal in its physical
effects. Not to speak of the use Of
whisky, it is true that the sedcntary
habits, the free use of flour and pork,
the badly ventilated cabin, the cooking
stove, the unclcanliness owing to ignor-
ance, almost invariably tend to the in
crease of disease and death. When
this ordeal of changing his habits OF
life is passed through, and is succeeded
by intelligent adaptation to civilized
life, then the Indian communities
strikingly improve in health and re-
sumo a fair rate Of increase of popua-
ton like other races. Several tribes
and parts of tribes lave already shown
that this rule is invariablc, not to quote
the decisive case Of the Indians in the
state of New York, who have shown a
very large increase in the last quarter
Ola century. DR.. Riggs, therefore, s,Ns
and the Rev. John Williamson, ii vet
eran laborer among the Sioux, coucurs
with hiin-ihat there is nothing to JUS
| tify the belief that the indians are II
vanishing race. "cxccpt as Indians"
That they must eventually lose their
characteristics, and become consolidate
ed in our glorious nationality, forming
with us one people and ohe tongue, to
he known in future ages ONLY rs tlc
American people, is as certain a. that
such has eventually been the result OF
such combinations in all ages of the
past. And such result is as desirable
as il is inevitable.
