The laws Of Draco are world-famed
for their severity and cruelty. In that
code, death was the punishment allotted
to nearly hundred crimes; but,
bloody and cruel as this was, it does
not begin to compare in cruelty and
severity with law once current and
carried into effect in this State. In the
earlier days of Louisiana, starvation
more than once stared the colonists in
the face. They had no grain and but
few, Indifferent catee. Upon these cat
tie they had to depend for food in an
emergency. When, therefore, one Of
their annual famines came on, the peo-
pie, unable to endure it, killed their
neighbours cattle, converted them into
beafsteaks, and eat them.
Various efforts were made to put an
emu to this oondaiittii eH ef fEairs, but they
all failed and it was finally found ne
oessary in 1725 to pass a law by which
the killing or wounding Of animals was
made a capital offense; that is. II a man
wounded, ever so slightly, another
mans cow, he suffered sentence of
death therefor. Mr.. Draco never went
half as far as this; Mr.. Bergh never
dreamed Of anything like this; and, in

LARGE TAXPAYERS WHO PAY Il
THE NICHOLAS GOVERNMENT.

The largest cotton factors in this city,
or In the world, have promptly paid the
taxes assessed by the government OF
Gov. Nichols. We refer to Richardson
Il May, who, for some years past, have
been the largest receivers Of cotton, and
the senior member of the firm the larg-
est planter and producer of this great
staple In the United States.
The products of MIR. Richardson's
plantation, mostly in Mississippi, last
year aggregated eleven thousand bales.
In addition to this immense contribu-
tion to the wealth Of our section, Mr..
Richardson, having invested about a
million of dollars in q cotton factory at
wesson, Mississippi, has succeeded In
establishing on a permanent and solid
basis the largest cotton factory In the
Southwest. This factory employs several
hundred lahorers and turns out an
enormous amount of cotton cloths,
which have obtained so wide name for
their superiority that they are bought
up faster than they can be manufac-
tured.
Justly may Mr.. Richardson be called
the "cottonocrat" OF the continent. We
doubt II any section OF our country can
boast of q citizen who has displayed a
larger enterprise. or greater energy and
sagacity In the application OF his capital
to the advancement and development OF
the industry and resources OF his Sec
man. 4 native q Virginia, thirtyi- years
ago the keeper OF a small store In Mis-
sissippi village, he has become the
largest planter and manufacturer, and
the senior of the largest mercantile
house in the South.
His rare sagacity in employing his
means and energies in that sphere
wherein the largest results to the pros
perity and general wealth of his section
can be achieved, Is deserving Of special
honor and respect.
The great mercantile house In this
city of Richardson & May, chiefly con-
Quoted by A. Fl. May, an old merchant
of unsurpassed energy and business
tact and experience, Is one of the best
organized establishments in the
country. These gentlemen combine
with these great qualities as merchants
q warm devotion to their native South,
and are never found wanting in any de-
mand upon their liberality and patriot
ism. -.s .-s.s
Another large and enterprislng cotton
factorage firm also paid their tax on
Monday to the Nichols government.
This is the house Of Lehman, Abraham
& Co., whose magnificent stores on Ba-
rome street are the most elegant and
spacious in the city or in the South, and
whose cotton transactions are conducted |
on a gigantic scale.
Our other merchants, great and
small, will not be slow in following the
example Of these two leading cotton |

We cannot help admiring the refresh
ing eoolnessof the following paragraph
clipped from the Louisville (Ky.) Epen-
ing Ne,cs.:
The people of Louisiana have been
tried in the fiery ordeal of persecution,
prescription and repression. They have
borne 1t patiently and nobly. Their
trials are not yet ended. The des-
pots heel Is still on their necks.
But a better time Is coming
for the long despoiled State. The
sufferings OF Louisiana give life and
vigor and determination to the Democ-
racy of the Union, and in 1880 the
blight of Radical rule will vanish from
every Southern State under the vitaliz-
ing influence OF Democratic victory
that will give freedom to every, citizen
who has been bowed down by the
weight OF carpet-bag and scallawag
oppression.

The new scheme proposed by Russia for the
settlement of the Eastern question engages q
large share of the attention Of European news
papers and their correspondents and is having
the earnest and most cautious consideration OF
the British Ministry. 1t is believed that they
have already adopted the principle OF the pro-
tocol as submitted by the Russian Minister, but
also that they will 6nd it necessary to amend it
10 several particulars. Pending the consdera'
ton of the protocol, new difficulty appears to
have sprung up in The impossibiiy 50 far OF
