4 Question Of Cash.

If there be in New Orleans any ar
dent patriot who has desired the era
of good feeling, any friend of peace
and concord who has longed with an
exceeding longing for the time when
the wolf should dwell with the lamb,
he may now breathe the ejaculation
of good old Simeon-Nunc dimittis.
On Saturday last the lambs and the
wolves lay down together, and the
Democratic Kidd presented a "hand,
some gold headed cane'' to negro
member from Concordia (happy
name! with "a feeling address.
This, aud much more, may seem in
credible to the uniformed reader,
but it is matter of record. 1t was
on Saturday that financial crisis
supervened in what is known as the
Packard Legislature. Up to that
day, the members of the Legislature
had stood by the glorious principles
of '76, the palladium Of their liber-
ties, anil some other things, with
more than Spartan frmness. There
was no money in the Packard Treas.
ury, and no bran in the Packard crib.
But these patriots were, like their
forefathers at Valley Forge, resolved
to die in their tracks, suffering star
walton, rather than yield allegiance
to ususping power. There were
members of the Legislature, docu.
ment folders, clerks, policemen, sto-
kers, sweepers, pages, and whole
army Of employees. Each man,
though reduced to his last chew of
tobacco and his last sup of whisky,
would do or die with Packard. In
the final hour of triumph it got out
that Nichols had money-$3O,O00 o,
$4,000, some said. 1t was a contin
gent fund, given to aid Mr.. Nicholl'
in establishing his Government il
Louisiana. 1t was a gloomy meet

bonds, and who found no chance 8

The Law as a Moral Code.

Many of the decisions of the present
Supreme Court of Louisiana have
been characterized by the highest
judicial ability, and an impressive
and elegance of style. But these are
not their only merits. The law,
should be code Of the highest mo-
rality, and it ought, therefore, to be
interpreted in spirit Of the most
delicate sense Of honor. This has
been done by the present court, and
when one reads its decisions be be-
gins once more to realize that law is
founded on common sense, truth and
the sonudest principles Of justice.
These crude and hasty observa-
tions are suggested by decision
which now lies before US, recently
read by Chief Justice Manning, and
from which we make the following
extract, the sound morality of which
will impress the reader even more
than the terse and elegant language
in which it is clothed:
"Unhappily for the cause ofpublic
morality, there is no law which shall
vigorously prevent the alienation Of
property by debtor, in the face Of
an impending judgment of his credi-
tor. But the alienation must be
real. There must be no reservation,
either express or implied.
"Tbe unreality and stimulation Of
the alienation in this case is appar-
ent at every stage of the proceeding.
"The law has been too recently
and deliberately announced by US, in
other cases presenting similar ques-
tons, to be here repeated. 1t seems
10 ne thought that person VINO de-
sires to screen his property from the
pursuit of creditors has only to give
his alienation the semblance of veri.
ty, or, touse the popular phrase, has
only to put it in another's name, to
battle the efforts of creditors to sub
ject it to their claims. We shall
probably assist in dispelling that IL
fusion. Nothing can be a stronger
or more seductive invitation to the
commission of fraud than it's impun-
ity, after repeated Preparations un-
der the forms of law. Successful dis
honesty encourages imitation, and
REPETITION of acts by which the law
is eluded, saps public morals, and
impairs the public conscience, more
than those by which the law is de-
fjled.-[N o. Democrat.

/" LOUISIANA! RICH AND FREE ~
BY ISAAC N. MAYNARD.

All hail the day! the glorious day!
immortal let it be for aye,
Enshrined in memory!
This day meridian sun once more
Smiles on 'free regenerate shore,'
Bright beams OF victory!
This day battles glorious won,
By courage worthy of a son
Of "Washington" or "Leev
And yet no fields of carnage here,
No widowed homes or orphans tear
Around us do we see!
Nay, naught but "Peace!"> unbounded
JOY
Pervales all hearts without alloy,
On this suspicious day!
A new born life! the old grow young!
a new made song to-day is sung.
'Iis freedoms hallowed Iay!'
From Louisiana's limbs the chains
OF despot's fall, and she regains
Her elderly" once more!
And in her joy she upward springs,
And, like the lark ascending, sings
Her glorious songs of yore!
. Hail, all my lovers! one and all,
Rejoice with me! on Heaven call
For blessings on our land!
''Peace!' hath mighty victory won
A glorious deed to-day is done!
By Gods directing hand!
Imprisoned long! for fifteen years,
In perjury! unavailing tears!
This day once more see.
.Deliverance" comes! How sweet at
last!
And bids us "bury all the past!''
Nor stain our victory!
This day the waves shall kiss thy
shore,
As loving us in days of yore, -
Bringing "Rieh Argossy!''

And "Plenty" sings her rich refrain

In this formulation Of political
precepts there is set forth the finan-
cial and commercial policy on which
the Republican party has acted, and
through the influence of which the
country has been brought to the
verge of ruin. The essential differ
ence between the Wing party which
is to be organized and the Repnbli-
can party which it is designed to
succeed lies, however, in the senti
ment which is to be fostered towards
the South. Republicanism was sec
,ional, and thrived on injustice o the
Southern States and prospered in
proportion as it disseminated hatred
Of the Southern people. Whiggery
is designed to be national, aims no,
merely at Justice to the South but at
securing favors for that section, and
hopes to succeed by winning the

pledge it'elf In q pI otocol countersignsd by the
Powers that It will carry out the reforms ayrc cd
upon by tho Powers in The preliminary confer.
ence. This may be taken as tho essence OF the
Russian proposals.
Russia does not sccm 10 have abandoned tho
hope OF finding form for the International docu.
ment which will overcome British objections.
Count Schouvaloh's: eturn to London indicates
that It Is thought somo such form has been

Information that Russia is ready to make great
concessions as regards form, pl divided the real
essence OF tho proposal is accepted. Not only
does there seem to bo no intention to insist upon
an agreement about eventual me3surers OF co
ercloD, but everything Is to be avoided, beyond
present assent to and signature by tho Powers
Of tho protocol, which might entail obligations
for the future.
In this way 1t Is thought the assent OF England
may be secured. On tho other aud the protocol
would be so framed ss not to oblIge the Porte to
sign the document IN contradiction with the atti.
tude It has taken throughout the negotiations.
There will, consequently, be no question Of direct
Intervention OF tho Powers in the internal Affairs
OF Turkey relative to the nomination OF govern.
ors or commissioners oi control or guarantees
generally. 1t seems Russia even means to show
the greatest liberality in granting time to Tur.
key to carry out the reform.
Although these conce sslons show sincere dc.
sire for peace, and although ths satlsi" elton
which Russia will obtain appears trihina, she
will yet obtain her object, viz: Tho right Of con.
troll over Turkey and the cancellation Of the
treaty OF Paris. Tho Porto, having been early
Informed Of the foregoing proposals., tried to
parry II by issuing It's last note specifying eleven
| measures ofreiorm which Il was lready putting

| more than Russia asks for.
| There Is, OF course, considerable difference be
tween he note and the International protocol but
still the note Is a negotiation by Turkey Of Ger
