Mr.. TnDES, sitting lonely by his window
yesterday, heard the glad rejoicings of the
American people, and sighed,
Farewell vain world, with all your stuff
At best you are nothing but n puff;
You have humbugged me quite enough"

Specie Payment. and Foreign rr.ae

When foreign trade is against US, and specie
is leaving the country very fast, 1t is poor pol
icy for the banks to continue specie payments
TIL they have 80 impoverished themselves and
the nation that they are Obliged to suspend.
In such case they should require thirty days
notice when currency is presented for redemp.
tion in specie. This would enable the banks
to consider and take proper action, and meet
its paper without suspension. Under the
present system. when the banks resume, the
Comptroller Of the Currency should have the
power to grant this indulgence to the banks,
II he thinks the case requires It, and, with the
advice of the Secretary Of the Treasury, 10 sus-
pend specie payments. Then foreign mercantile
debts could not Increase, and the Government
could devise some measure of revenue in the
interest of labor and the welfare of the coun.
try to restore the monetary equilibrium and
restore specie payments. The national debt,
and interest to be paid In Europe, Is suAicie ut
drain on our specie till 1t is paid, aud when
you add to this our State, municipal and
railroad debts, Il V enormous. Still, with
tariff to protect labor, our manufacturers
must prosper and seek a foreign market to
balance. Four years OF free trade will sus-
pend all the banks In the country at any time,
and 1t Is certainly to the interest Of foreign
nations that we do not suspend, and that our
imports should be regular, steady aud
promptly paid but, whenever We can manu-
facture any article cheaper than other coun.
tries, repeal the duties on said article and
enter II on the free list.

FUTURE soCTHEnN POLICY.
The permanent pacihcation Of the country upon
such principles and by such measures as will Sc.
cure the complete protection Of all its citizens in
the free enjoyment Of all their oonstitut!onal
rights, is now the one subject, in our public AZ
fairs, which all thoughtful and patriotic citizens
regard as of supreme Importance.
Many ofthe calamitous effects Of the tremend-
Gus revolution which has passed over the South
ern States still remain. The immeasurable
dement's which will surely follow, sooner or
ater the hearty and generous acceptance Of
the legitimate results Of that revolution have
not yet been realized. Difhcult and embarrassing
questions meet US at the threshold Of this subject
The people Of those States are still impoverished
and the inestimable blessing Of wise, honest, and
peaceful local self lfgovenment is not fully en-
Ioyed. Whatever difference Of opinion NAV ex
list as TO the cause Of this condition Of things the
fact is clear, that 10 the progress Of events the
time has come when such government Is the i'm
perative necessity required by all the varied in
teres's, public and private, Of those StatesL But
II must not be forgotten that only local govern
ment which recognizes and maintains inyiola;s
the rights Of all is true sel:-government.
THE two RACES.
With respect TO the two distinct races whose
peculiar relations to each other have brought
upon US the teplorable complications and per-
pleXities which exist in those States, 1t must be
agovornment which guards the Interests Of both
races carefully and equally. 1t must be . gov
ernment which submits loyalty and heartily 10
the Constitution and the laws-the laws Of the
natien AMI the laws Of the States themseIyes-
accepting and obeying faithfully the whole Goa
stitution as II IL.
THE THEORY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Resting upon this sure and substantial Eyunda-
tion, the superstructure Of beneheent local Eo--
errmentS can be buiit up, and not Othsrwisa. In
irrtheranee Of such obedience " the Is,,sr snI

i'll feeling existed between Moore and
Gibson, and the latter, while under
the influence of liquor, vented his
spite in the manner indicated by the
charge. He was adjudged guilty and
sentenced TO Imprisonment in the
parish Jail twenty-four hours, to pay
fine of SO and all costs of court in
default of payment to remain in Jail
thirty days.
State Us. Geo. Washington, larceny
of chickens from Francis Gomez, Jr.
The evidence of accused's guilt being
indubitable, he was sentenced to three
months imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, but ON the following day his
counsel moved for new trial, which
was granted, whereupon the prisoner
plead guilty and the sentence was
changed to three months in the parish
Jail. Mr.. Gomez testified to the pre-
vious good character of accused, who
is a man of family, and hence the len
iency of the court.
All of the accused in the above
cases are colored, except r. Vacaris-
sas.
Thursday morning the business of
the session closed with the trial of
a civil case, the judgment in which is
published officially in our advertising
columns.
Court adjourned at half past ten
o'clock and Judge Maher took the
one o'clock train for New Orleans,
where he proposed to remain a day
or two and then start for Galveston.
He is not decided respecting the time
he will spend in that city, but it is
probable his stay will be of at least a
months duration. We repeat our
wish that he viii have a good time
and return fully restored to health.

PARISH CoURT.-Notwithstanding
he had leave of absence from the
Governor in his pocket, dating from
the LIST inst, Parish Judge Maher de-
cided to hold the regular term of his
court for the accommodation of liti-
giants i'm civil suits and to afford par
ties charged with criminal offenses
opportunity for speedy trial. Conse-
quently court was opened Monday
morning, but was Immediately adj
journed until next day to give the
District Attorney pro tenn. time in
which to prepare informations. On
Tuesday six criminal cases were called
and fixed for trial Wednesday, upon
which day they were considered and
disposed of as follows:
State as. Lee Williams, assault and
battery upon Edmond Daniel at Gen.
Thomas plantation. A trifing boys
quarrel which the under youth in the
fight I" took into court" After hear
ing the evidence the Judge ordered
the accused discharged.
State as. Raphael Vacarissas, assault
and battery upon Rudolphe Landman
at the Market House, some time in
January. This was another insignif-
icant affair, in which complainant
was the aggressor in at least an equal
degree with accused. When the Court
was about to pronounce a Judgment
of acquittal, the District Attorney
pro tenn. obtained leave to enter a
aolle pros.
State rs. Wiley Jones, for larceny
of two logs from Raymond Alleman.
The evidence was insufficient to estab-
lish the charge and accused was ac-
quilted. A partnership had existed
between the parties, and both claimed
the logs alleged to have been stolen.
State as. Robert Gregory, for larceny
of a shotgun belonging to the hus-
band of Dollie Williams, at Mount
Houmas plantation, sixth, ward. The
evidence of the theft was conclusive
and Robert was sentenced to one
years imprisonment at hard labor in
the penitentiary.
State as. VIM. Gibson. for mali
ciously destroying portion of a fence
belonging to Joseph Moore and John
Jackson, 10 the third ward. Some

ton. The firemen are to be congrat-
ulated upon the fact that the expense
of their recent celebration was almost
entirely met by the voluntary contri-
buttons of honorary members.
THE FAIR.-The fair for the bene-
fit of the Catholic Church at this
place continued through Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, rs previously
announced, and despite many un-
fortuitous circumstances, the hand
some sum of $500 was realized over
and above the expenses, which were
unusually heavy. Nearly every thing
used in the way of refreshments was
bought and paid for, the usual custom
of soliciting donations being ignored.
The experiment Of chartering the La
Belle for an excursion trip from New
Orleans resulted rather disastrOusly,
as only about fifty persons took pas
sage. The receipts from this source
were about 800, while the expense
incurred reached $500.
The Independent Band and a band
from New Orleans furnished excellent
music for the occasion, adding much
to the enjoyment of the visitors who
wliiled away pleasant hours among
the handsomely decorated and well
supplied refreshment tables in charge
of charming attendants of the gentler
and comelier sex, assisted by several
gentlemt n whose capacity for good
service upon such occasions has been
frequently demonstrated.
A we'll attended musical entertain
ment in the hall of st. Joseph's
Academy, Sunday evening, added
greatly to the attraction and success
of the fair.
