THE CENT.-The AttakapaS Register wishes
to see the cent introduced in our circulation
truthfully asserting that it would help small
economies greatly. The Register says: 1--WE
think it advisable for Morgan City dealers to
commence the use of the cent by agreeing
unitedly or individually to receive and pay it
out in the course of trade. 1t would not lessen
the profits and might give quicker sales to
rerishsble articles. The custom of the place
is mainly derived from the poorer Glasses, who
would at once appreciate the benefits of the
new order. Once commenced here other places
will follow salt, aud all annoy due to the
prevalence Of the Ave cent basis would pass
away.

far, and the minority which opposes it will be a
weak and almost helpless one. This fact must be
foreseen by sagacious Republican politicians who
contemplate antagonsm TO the President and will
cause them to hesitate before declaring open war
against his Administration. But even if the division
in the Republican party should be much more
serious than possible, there still remains
the possibility, almost the probability, that
President Hayes will find friends among the
opposition. The Democratic party in the next
Congress will probably contain larger percentage
than any recent of patriotic, conservative men,
who will be more anxious to serve the country hon
orably and promote the material welfare of their
constituents than to secure temporary party adj
vantages. Such men as these, though they may not
separate themselves from the Democratic organlza-
tion will undoubtedly give to all wise and liberal
measures proposed by President Hayes amost hearty
support. One of the most influential of the Demo
cratic Senators said yesterday that he intended to
call upon the President and tell him of his intention
TO his vote and bis influence in support of every
measure which he would have supported had Gov.
Tilden been declared elected to the Presidency !;
land" he added, al any Democrat who, for tempo
raTy party advantage, gives aid or comfort to Gen.
Butler and to the class in the Republican party
which he represents, or allows them to defeat just
and proper measures, will cover himself ana MS
party with disgrace"
1t may not be that enough liberal Democrats,
representing either Southern or Northern districts
will join with the Republicans in the election OF a
Speaker understood to be favored by the Admins
traton, but it is almost certain that there VIII be
sufficient number of Democratic votes to sustain
any measure of genuine reform which the President
NAV PROPOSE The assurance of such support as
this and the consciousness of doing his whole duty
as he understands it, without fear or favor, will I'M
doubtedly sustain the President in All unfatering
devotion to what he considers just wise, and con-
sttutiOnal. T. L. w.
