JUBlLANT.

Last Thursday was great day for
the Democrats of Louisiana and all
who sympathized with them. They
were jubilant over the expulsion from
office OF the Republicans, and their
own restoration to rule after sixteen
years of compulsory abstinence from
official pap. So joyful were they as to
compel from those whose loss is their
gain sort of semi-sympathy; SO joyful
that they forgave these defeated and
out-generaled Republicans, and most
magnanimously abstained from "the
slightest manifestation of mean tri-
umph" over them. This triumphal de-
monstration OF the Democracy was
graced by the presence of United States
ruf,tiery; representing the administra-
lion ol President Hayes, and testifying
to his sympathy with its object. Per-
haps this was because this joyful out
pouring of Democratic thanksgiving
was at one and the same time an eX-
preston of local political sentiment and
a tribute to the success of the presiden-
tial Southern policy. Patriotic Repub
licans ofhighiy disinterested characters
and benevolent dispositions were also
enabled to participate in the public re-
joicings from another motive than the
mere contagion of joyous enthusiasm
for while the celebration glOrihed the
triumph of Democratic individuals it
also glorified that of Republican prin-
ciples, there being now in point of fact
but one party in Louisiana-the Re-
publican. Equality of all men before
the law, equal educational advantages,
the supremacy of the national govern
ment, every principle commended for by
the Republican party at the risk, so far
as Southern Republicans We're concern
ed, of mourning ostracism, cruelty, often
death itself; every principle opposed
by the Democratic party to the extent
ofinfiicting ostracism, cruelty and even
death; every principle which has here
tofore separated Republicans from
Democrats with barriers as of fire, is
now openly received, openly proclaim
ed as the political creed of the Demo-
crazy. ,.4

The following little poem, from the pen
of one of Germany's most popular lyric
poets, is founded on 81 legion of the ''storied
Rhtne.' son the summit of q high pro-
nlontory near Oferwcsei," so runs the an
Gent story, 'every evening may be seen a
maiden of supernatural beauty, arranging
her robes and combing her hair. Her hair
and garments shine like pure gold, and by
her beauty and songs she lures the enrap-
tured sailor to destruction upon tho rocks
below.''
cannot tell the why or WHENCE
My heart is full of pain !;
A inournful rhyme of the olden time
Is bodyinS in my brain.
The air grows cool, the darkness falls,
The Rhine is softly ilowing;
And clear and bright in evenings light,
The mountain top is glowing.
Far up the cliff is sitting
\ maid most wondrouS fair;
Her robes of gold have many Il fold,
She combs her golden hair.
Her white hand plies The golden comb,
She sings pleasing song;
From ear to ear, divinely clear,
The strain is borne along.
The sailor in the passing boat
She lures to widest woe;
He secs the maid through the twilight
shade,
But never the rocks below.
Alas! know the waters dark
Have closed at last above
The sailors grave in the whitening wave
While Loreley sings of lovc.

The reprieve of Phair, who was SEN
fenced, to be hanged in Vermont, was
made for two years, because an applica-
ton for Il new trial requires in this case,
that length of time. III that State the
time in which such an application may
be made to the Supreme Court is limi-
ted to two years from the original ,judg-
ment, which has in this instance expir-
ed. Consequently special act is re-
quisite, and the next Legislature does
not meet until the fall of 1878. Phair
was within a few hours of being hanged
when a Bostonian telegraphed to Gov.
Fairbanks information that secured

NO NEW PARTY NEEDED.

the talk about the revival of Wing
party in this way: ssThere is already a
new party in the country, which has
been In existence since the close Of the
war, which Is the real reform purity OF
the country, and holds the balance OF
power in its hands. 1t is constantly
growing inEnumbers, and will unques-
ttOnably. decide the next Presidentia.
election. 1t is in favor of civil servic.
reform, of a sound currency, of the re-
ductton of taxation, the stoppage of ali
grants and subsidies, aud of tariff for
revenue only. To attempt to wheedle
the South into q support of the Ad-
ministrati0n on the basis of subsidies
and a high tariff Is for the Republicans
simple suicide, because it will perman-
entity ALLEVIATE from them the support
of which we speak, support the
strength of which has been already SER
iously impaired by the conduct of the
late campaign. Nobody need give
himself the slightest trouble in getting
up a Wing revival. If the country
them, just as it will have the Fedora
list party If it wants that; but as long
IA it sees that Wing principles mean
the Texas Pacific jub,and that the lead
ing odd Whig' is no other than tom
Scott we doubt if 1t will take much in
terest in the movement"
While approving of the tone of these
remarks we dissent from the last para
graph. The building of the Texas Pa
cific Railroad is not a job. 1t is a ma
tional work needed for frontier defense.
1t does not ask dollar from the Fede-
raj treasury. 1t simply asks an endorse
ment by the Federal Government of
its first mortgage bonds to an extent
less than the value of the road. In the
st. Louis Convention of 1875, this So
called t:job" was endorsed not only by
Mr.. Stanley Matthews, the President of
that body, and by the now Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. Thompson, in an elo-
quent speech, but it also received the
support of hosts of Northern Demo-
Gratis who were present and the reso-
buttons endorsing it were voted for by
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, Mr.. Jacob Thomp-
son, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Joseph T..
Johnston, and indeed by every deleg-
gate. The vote-Democratic, Wing,
Republican and all-was solid for the
dob" Gen. Sherman and Gen. John
ston shook hands over it.
The opposition to this so-called "job''
does not come from either Southern
Democrats of the'old line or Southern
Wings of the old line. It comes from
the tools of Jay Gould & Co., who own
the Central Pacific road and it's Eastern
connections. They wish to maintain
their monopoly, and every vote cast
against the proposition of Col. Scott
will be cast in the interest of that mon
opoly rather than because of any Con-
stitutionaI objections to the project.
Otherwise the Nation is quite right
in its comments upon the new party.
There is no room for new party-cer-
tainly not at the South, where the best
principles of the old parties have long
ago merged into the postbellum Demo
cratic party, which stands to-day the
embodiment of Liberty and Reform
Mobile Register.

The Fort Worth boys came over
yesterday morning, to play the second
match game of ball with the Stars,
of this CITY. The latter club We're
hopeful TO retrieve their fallen fortunes,
and all hearts beat high with expecta-
ton. Slight showers in the morning
threatened TO interfere with the sport,
but 1t did not rain hard enough to
stop the game. On the contrary, II
made II very pleasant for the players
About three o'clock the ball tossers
went out to the grounds, and shortly
afterwards the tiremen delegates pro
ceeded to the grounds in Siler's omni
buses.
The game was called at three
thirty, and Dallas went to bat
The Stars, for some reason, weakened
Young, the third baseman, had hi
finger split open, and his place had to
be- filed. The club, as a rule, failed to
get on Stevens pitching, and their
batting was very weak. Field distin-
guished himself by taking six flies at
left field, handsomely. Mitchell also
got fine fly, and did good work.
Drew did well, but muiied several balls.
Healy played good game on second
base. The Fort Worth boys played
exceedingly well, and showed good
discipline, which il everything. In
the third innings they made five runs.
They whitewashed Dallas in three In
nings, and Dallas returned the COM
pliment twice. Errors were numer.
GUS on both sides. AT the end OF the
game the score stood IA to Z in favor
of the Panthers.
This decides the championship, and
the Fort Worth club are without doubt
the best In the state. The game
was umpired by Mr.. II. w. Starr,
OF Fort Worth. The gentleman, while
we believe him TO be free from any de-
sire to show Partially, made several
decisions which were not received
with satisfaction. They were not con-
fined to Fort Worth's favor entirely,
but the majority OF them were. He
decided Dallas man out on first base

foot on the base, and declared VIII

Secretary Sherman's opinion seams
to be that NIL that is necessary to make

cisely as the paper dollar now is, is to
let the amount OF coinage BIO regulated
by the wants OF the people, To those
whose desire TO exchange paper for
silver, he would have the fullest oppor.

would then DO no trouble about what
sort of currency they have.

expression OF the individual views OF

taken, nor will he take, any action in
the matter, rs to do 30, would seem to
preclude such action AZ congress mighl

The issue ofone and tw o dollar green-
backs was discontinued at the treasury
In the city, mainly to induce banks

going out OF the treasury at the rate OF
a million month, and the full green
back fund of ten million dollars au-
thorized by law, is 30 well assured that
the treasury will probably soon re-
