Judicial Advertising.

The price to be paid for judicial
advertising seems to be q stumbling
block in the way of our legislators,
and they are no doubt endeavoring to
make, as all men engaged in legisla-
ton would, small fund of political
capital in the way of giant reformcrs
over this small mite.
We think parties who advertise in
the way of Sherif1's and Succession
Sales, &C., &C., should not have dis
ordinations made in their favor over
the merchant or other party who
patronise a newspaper. They pay
$3.50 per square, first, and Is cents
for each subsequent insertion for all
their transient work. Why should
not the legal advertiser pay the same !
A lawyer pays $3.50 per square for
his card, but his client adVcrtlses III
the same paper for less.
The price now spoken of, 70 cents
for first and 20 cents for each subsc-
quent insertion per square, is so tar
below what would pay a country
paper to do it, that those who desire
its space and circulation, will be re-
fused it on those terms.
Our advice is to let the judicial
advertiser pay the satue rate for his
work that other mes pay. Nothing
can be faircr than that.
One thing is certain, that 70 and ~
cents will never get an advertisement
in paper that values its space and
circulation. Those papers which have
character will live without 1t, and the
State will he full of just such frauds
claiming the name of Journals as the
Radical printing law gave birth to.

Tears not Smiles,

The partisan action Of the Electo.
raj Commission has rendered our
Radicals quite felicitous, and they
seem to think that with Hayes as
President they arc to be allowed Lou.
isiana as then prey.
They slIoaId at once disabuse their
minds of any such fallacy. No such
thing can or will occur; and happily
the real people of this State are at
last solidly united in their dctcrmina-
ton to submit no longer.
The future un,lcr Radical rule we
know full we'll to be the past, and
that alone would be sufficient to pro-
woke resistance, hut when the nttel
impossibiIlty of the majority of the
people of the State ever being able
to gain control again, because the
yillainous Returning Board stands in
the way, is added to the argument,
there will be found but few, and they
of little note, to argue non resistance.
State and local Radicals can make
mp their minds to pass through sea
son of troubles and tribulations which
will cansc many Of their stout (?)
hearts to quail, and during which
many-aye, thousands will wish they
had never been born.
Hilarity at a funeral would be as
respectable as the joy of Radicals
over Hayes recognition of Packard.
The determination Of oar people is
fixed. "Nicholls or Anger," is en-
blazoncd on our banners.
The former brings peace at once
the latter, in consumation ofhis pow
cr, means death to the enemies OF
civil liberty in our State means ali
archy, and the vengeance of long
pent up suffering virtue upon the
hn:d of insulters that have revied
her manhood.

"WADE HAMPTON, GOVERNOR O

"WADE HAMPTON, GOVERNOR or

Charleston, S. e. We congratulate these
gentlemen on the grand success they
have made of so noble a subject, As a
work of art it stands unrivalled but
still it's chief merit lays in it's being a
LIrE-IIKE portrait. 1t is the first pro-
duct, on SO large IA scale, of Il new and

having the advantage Of great TRUTH

result be better attained than by the
means Of photography, and this new
process based thereon But while these
great advantages are secured, it admits
of the embellishments Of nrt, and a por-
trait is produced possessing all the truth

which they give to all admirers Of the

A PAPER to have influence must
live upon its merits--and character in
its managers will go good way in
proving merit ; but to talk of "thor-
oughbreds" and Scrubs" when one
"runs a newspaper" which lives by
forced contributions from decent peo.
pie, is simply impudent. The Iele-
gram is respectfully informed that
when the ''eitizens of Natchitoches'
desire 'thorougibreds' the will GER
.ainly choose gentlemen-not apollo

A letter in the New York Tribune,
published over the date "Ohio, Jan.
49," starts off with the following SEN
tence: IL have from the first been
puzzled to understand why emigrants
to the Southern States should he
treated as necessarily unworthy ad
venturers, while the same class going
to the Western States are respectful
~ treated and gladly received as
useful accesslons to the population. y
But emigrants to the South are NOT
treated "as necessarily unworthy ad-
venturers.' Any man who goes South
for the purpose of bettering himself
by engaging in honorable pursuits is
welcomed, and has no cause for com
plant; it is only political adventu-
rers who go South for the real, if not
ostensible, purpose Of trading on
politics who are not considered de-
sirable aceessions to the population
nor would they be 10 any section Of
the country.

The Situation.

Things look quite hluc for the sue.
cess of the constitutional candidate
for the Presidency, Tilden. There is
no use Disgusting that fact, yet there
is hope cnoug'' to bouy us up.
The Washington correspondence OF
the n. O. Democrat, an able and sa-
gacious journalist. te!egraphs on Fri
day. 9th, to his paper as follows:
The members of the Tribunal, or at
least a majority of them, do not re
gard the rule as to admission Of evi-
l2nce in the Florida case a general
rule governing all cases which may
be submitted
Judge Miller says the understand
ing in the Tribunal is that each case
shall be considered and ruled upon Its
merits, independently of the other
eases, and that the method of proce-
tlurc will he made to conform to the
legal exiccncics ofrach separate case.
Judge Miller did not specify further,
but | interpreted what he said to
mean that The Tribunal would not
rule to exclude new testimony in the
Louisiana case, if, on the prescnta-
ton of that case Ivy counsel, it should
appear to the Tribunal that the va
lidity of the certificates could not be
properly tested without such testimo-
ny.
And later in the day it seems that
conclusion was reached 10y the
Tribunal to accept testimony in the
Louisiana case, for the correspondent
in the evening telegraphs as follows
When Louisiana is reached the
Tribunal will accept testimony touch
ing the unlawful action OF the Re
turning Board.
Accepting the views Of this cor
respondent as correct Saturday j.; we,
to-day, Wednesday, without late adj
vices 10 not think the situation as
hopeless as the dense partisan ruling
of the Tribunal in the Florida case
would portcnd. However, we consid-
er the out come of this Commission
as regards it's decisions as altogether
speculative no man can tell to
certainty what conclusions, what pre-
text they may give to decide one way
to day and the reverse tomorrow.
The Latest.
The latest would indicate that our
worst fears have been realized. When
the House surrendered its rights and
privileges to 8 Republicans and call
ed upon them to decide political
question, no man of sense expected
them to decide against their party.
On the cowardly North Eastern
Democrat will rest all the evils, aut
they will be greater than war, tina
must flow from their action.
Louisiananians are now expected
to do their duty, and if they hav'
manhood left them they will now as
sert it, or forever after hold thei
tongues and submit to rule tina
must cxpel virtue from her borders

cratic but not strict party. The Re-
porter claims to he conservative but
shows more party fealty than we,
when it insists that the Democratic
majority in the State Senate should
be the Judges of the rights Of tile pco-
pie of the 22d Senatorial District.
The question of the justice of the
claims of our people should be sub.
mitted to the decision OF that major
ity, no doubt, ; but of our right to
demand, no one is to Judge hut our
selves. We have it that several Of
that "majolity" have asked, why Mr..
Elam did not contest at once.
We will never submit to the dictum
of any party or party management on
question We know to be detrimen-
tai to the interest of our people ; nor
will we ever submit our ri ght to de-
mand recognition or justice to any
self.cOnstituted "star chamber"
it a "majority of Democratic Sen"
ators" or not.
In this, the journals which are
democratic to the core' have the aa-
vantage of our conservative contem.
pories who move along and say
nothing for fear of giving offence.
The Reporter is equally in error
when commenting on an article from
Us written against conservatives.
Democratic government South, as
we'll as North, is government of
principle and honesty a government
wherein the honest, virtuous and in
telligent rule. Kentucky, Virginia,
Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Ark
ansas, Texas, and other Southern
States have governments which are
democratic to the core,"-where of
fetal honesty and purity is carried to
the extent of radicalism. Should Gov.
Nichols begin to Judge men by theil
standing of conservatism instead OF
principle, honesty and intelligence,
he will le in a fair WAY to inaugu.
rate government which will fail in
all essential particulars.
The Reporter should remember that
conservatism in Louisiana is one
thing and in the North another. We
have bnt two parties in this State
Democrats and Radical thieves, as the
late Horace Greedy put it. The Re.
porter will certainly agree with us
that there is very title chance to
"stand between" these two and be
honest.
Our friends of the Reporter should
endeavor to practice a little of its
sublime semonizing for the past -four
months, with which We perfectly
agree, and of which resistance to
Packard and his crew has been the
text.
