LouisianH, like South Carolina, is
once more free and Democratic. Right
will ultimately prevail, notwithstand>
ing the maohinations of the evil dis
posed, and the cunning efforts OF re.

virtue left in noble minds. All sense
of right and political virtue is not yet
lost. Hope smiles benignly.

What Ben Wade Says:


dent Hayes in style that makes Mr..
Blaine's innusndoes and Mr. Phillips
sDoers look as midas milk. He
cohfesses, 10 letter published in the
Times of yesterday morning, that he
did all he conld to procure the nom >.
iEation Of Hayes at the Cincinnati
Convention, and adds: II do re-.
menber it, after what has transpired
with indignation and bitterness oi
soul tat / never felt BEFORE" He
says that he supposed the President
was in sympatby with the party in
regard to tue negro, but is now no
Longer ofthat opinion: II have been
deceived, betrayed, and even humili.
ated by the course he has taken 10 a
degree that l have not language to
express" Tho Respondent Ben Wade
does not take the same rose-colored
view of the situation that the Joyous
Dick Thompson does, and thus de-
scribes the movement for the resus,
station of the Wing party: "No
doubt he meditates the destruction of
the party that elected him. A con-
temptation of all this fills me with
amaze ment and inexpressibe indig-
nation. MY only consolation is that
history inf,rms me thar better men
than l ever pretended to be have in
like manner been deceived" Poor,
confiding old Ben Wadel What q
pity that such an experienced bird
should be caught with a handful Of
chaftl Perhaps after a few more
lessons such as the apostacy OF Tyler,
johnson and Hayes, the Republicans
ma learn to nominate representative
men for office rather than available
ones. OF course the letter does. OF

tor Wade mentions in all his speech ,
es, writings and conversations with
great force. lie expresses his dis

fraudulent President by stating that

old Ben, "the country looks as it it

Nothing will grow in such g soi."
"Oh," was the answer, lit is yer,

like the rose." eyes, but there is no
water in sight," said Wade. The
lnhabitant of Iuka, no whit discomo
fitted, replied, "There is a beautiful
stream about seventy miles off, and
when we get it hero the place will
be like Eden.' "But," growled Ben.
"there are no houses and don't see
any people" "Very true" was the an.
swer, we ain't thickly settled yet, but
the people will come in good time.-
