The closing Of Bayou Lafourche is
still under discussion among the coun-
try papers. After long debate of the
question, all these, with but one excep-
tion, have pronounced In strong terms
against 1t. They argue, with much
show OF reason, that it will efrectually
close to steamboats, the entire Lafourche
country. 1t is proposed to put lock
at the head OF the Bayou: but this, the
Lafourche people complain. will only
be temporary thing, since, ifthe bayou
be closed with a lock, a bar must neces-
sarily form at Its head, and effectually
shut 1t up to all navigation.
As to the plea that it will save in the
matter OF levees, 1t is answered that the
closing OF the bayou will have exactly a
contrary effect; that by closing the
Bayou Lafourche one of the outlets of
the Mississippi, they will only increase
the pressure on the levees below Don
jacksonville, and in the present condition
or these, cause an overflow. In fine.
there has been so far but little said in
favor of this closing scheme and great
many arguments shown against it.

HAZEN.WHEELER.
A Lovely Picture of Our Misty and
WOnld-be President.
rHipnippofs

[Cincinnati Enquirer.1
AS the Returning Board has made up
it's mind to count Hayes into the White
House, it Is we'll enough for the people
to be familiarizing themselves with the
angel who is to give out the Postoffices.
The following beautiful portrait of
Hayes is furnished by that intellectual
giant, Private DalZell:
"He has but one face, one voice. He
never winks, never whispers, never has
any private talks aside, but all he has to
say is open and in a strong, manly voice
of peculiar melody, and the very soul of
candor, dignity, and unaffected good
breeding. He has no enemies-even the
Democrats like him. His pure life-pure
as woman's, he never swore word,
never told an obscene story, never
cigar, drank drop-impresse
all alike. The Goddess of Silence has
put her golden seal on his lips. Not a
frown visits his forehead; not wrinkle
burrows his cheeks, and his two great
blue eyes beam with hope and manly
courage and sympathy. He is tender as
a child; strong as a giant. He bides his
time. He believes in God. He believes
In the people. He has no doubt what
ever he will be our President"
A great many people when they read
this will regret that they did mot vote
for this noble being.

The Ouachita MtelHgencer, of Monroe,
may land.

The Ouachita Intelligencer, Of Monroe,
has made more serious error in
the matter Of the recognition Of the
Nichols government than even
Packard in his answer to subpoena
from the Sixth District Court
OF this city. The editor of the 1ntelH-
gencer is the Packard clerk of court
and the late clerk Of the police jury Of
this parish. A few weeks ago, it may
be remembered, the Nichols officials
took possession Of the offices under
commissions from Gov. Nichols. The
new Nichols police jury chose the In
telligencer as the official paper of the
jury and published all its proceedings
therein.
The result is that a Republican paper
published by an ousted Republican
official, and which pretends to recognize
Packard as Governor, is the official
paper Of a body acting under Gov.
Nichols commission.

The New York Tribune has quite an
original and pleasant way Of explaining
the indicated intention of the Electoral
Tribunal to count In Hazenwheeler. It
says that the judges are, to a certain
extent, under the control of "sub-con-
scious tendencies" What with the
''stdtus Qto," Intellectual "Qto aUarran-
tos," "de facto" and sub-conscious
tendencies" God only knows where we

Much stress Is laid In the report which
mas been made up by the majority Of
Morton's committee In relation to the
oregon electoral college, upon circum-
stances going to show that Coy. Growers
mind was made up before hel went
through the form of hearing legal arg,1-
ments on the ineligibility Of Watts and
the justice Of Cronin's claim, and that
MS decision was inspired rather by o
oellef that there was @ Democratic ne
cessity for securing one electoral vote
IN oregon, than by the cogency OF the
attorneys plea. Well, what of it?
Chambers kilograms and the concerted
expressions Of the whole administra-
tion gang In Washington show conclu.
slVely that the result in Florida, Louis
lana and South Carolina was fore
ordained even before the votes were
counted. Under instructions from
Washington, and in fulfilment of q
conspiracy, the Louisiana Returning
Board stole eight electors and cheated
thlrteen thousand voters of their inst
constitutional rights. The worst that
can be made Of Growers act will NOT
make 1t one-tenth as bad as TINT OF
Morton's Infamous pet, Wells.

SOUTHERN IuuIGRhTYON.


A number of subscribers who have read re-
cent articles in THE TRIBUNE on the advan-
tages offered by the South for settlement by
Northern farmers, write asking advice as to
the best locality for an emigrant. 1t is, OF
course, out of the question for us to point out
a particular neighb0rhoOd, and to say that there
will be found the nearest approach to an
earthly paradise which the Southern States af
ford Tastes and capacities differ, and place
suited to one man might repel another
What is known as the South is a more extern
sve region than the North. and contains a
wider range Of climate, and its productions are
consequently more varied. A Northern man,
intending to go South should make up his
mind i'm advance, as to what kind of country
he wishes to live n and what he wishes to do
If he seeks warm climate for health reasons,
fleeing from that scourge of Northern ATTITUDES.
consumption, he should go to Florida, or
Southwestern Georgia or Western Louisiana
but he should bear in mind that he will have
a new trade to learn in those sub-trOplcal re-
gions. Little that he has learned about farming
at home will be of service there. except the
habit of industry. To new products belong
new methods, and he will find that knowledge
of the cultivation of the orange, the sugar-cano
and the cotton-plant does not come by instinct
Probably nine-tenths of the people who are
disposed to 90 South do not seek a radical
change of climate, but desire to find a region
where they can carry on the processes of agri-
culture with which they are already familiar
and where the lands are cheaper and the Win
tiers shorter and less severe than in their North
ern homes TO such, our advice would be
only an ampliication of what was said in a
previous article. Keep away from malarlous
districts. An attack of fever and ague will
disgust settler with any country, no matter
how cheap and productive the land may be.
Select high, breezy region of swift-runnng
streams good pasturage and fine forests. Have
an eye TO the scenery, too. beautiful land
scape in view from your door costs you nothing,
and is a neyer-failing pleasure. OF course, the
quality Of the land should be carefully exam
med, and the prOductyeness of neighbOnng
farms as ertained. The character of the COM
munity for good order and friendliness toward
strangers should also be inquired into, and
especially should the settler make sure that
there is at least a promising beginning of n
good common school system. Unless he is will
ing to be missionary OF civilization, he should
avoid localities where the people have made
no provision for educating their children. Such
communities are usually ignorant, intolerant
and violent, and if the settler has no children
to send to school, he should none the less keep
away from them. His chief object in going
South will be to find the advantages of we'll
established, intelligent and orderly society, ia
connection with low-pnced lancs, comparative
ly near to the grest Eastern markets, and he will
relish no flavor of barbarism in his daily life.
1t should DO borne in mind that the South

question of the campaign.
Mr. Hendricks has timed his arrival admirably.
Tammany will be so elated with its triumph that 1t
will give him reception that will almost burst his
manly bosom with gratitude.

in precarious condition, and now General McCel-
Ian Mr. Hendricks, Wade Hampton and several
other gentlemen who have not been yaccinated
against the Presidential fever, will be liable to
break out with it III a very aggravated form.
The DAYS of the amateur Democrat in this State
have been brought to an abrupt close. The old
wheelhorse has never liked him, but he tolerated
him because the reform garment he brought covered
a multitude of the party's SINS. Now that the pub
lie has discovered that the sins there rampant
as ever, the cover is kicked of as useless.
The Republican party Of this State has been re-
loved of one grievous burden. Senator Selkreg Of
the XXIVth District, has failed to secure a renom-

constituents to stand him any longer. Ex-District-
Attorney Hopkins, who has been nominated to sue
ceed him. is clearly an Improvement.
