The MercffuIness of the Louisiana
Democracy, 10 the Radical
MaleGactOrs.

The Democracy of Louisiana have allow
ed the carpet-baggers, Warmoth and Kel-
log, and the scalawags, Longstreet and
Ludeling, and other scoundrels who have
been chiefly Instrumental in the plumber
ana oppression of the people, to go un-
practieed through taxation to the amount
OF many tens of millions, the credit of
Louisiana and that of New Orleans were
fearfully discounted and fobhed. The State
was run in debt some $4,000. 600: and the
city some $2l,O00,OO0- And there has been
little to show for it, but houses TO Let with
out tenants and lands for sale without mr.
chasers. Yet by false msgnanimitv the
authors and fnishers, or Instruments az
these caiamties, seem 20 enjoy immunity.
So in alabama Spencer and his band Of
plnnderers are at large and unbranded.
These things we regard as demoralizinC.
The only hope for the South is to preserve
the integrity of her people. How can this
be done when examples of knavery q ourish
unchallenged, and 20 free of all efforts at
conviction and punishment deserved.

We received this week from Power &
Barksdale of that staueh ola journal, the
Jackson CLARION, copy OF BridewelFs
Mississippi Justice. We have examined
the work thoroughly, and find it a complete
guide to county officials in the proper dis
charge of their duties, and especially indis-
pensable to the Justice of the Peace. The
magistrate who does not procure this guide,
must profess perfect mastery of the law
and its correct administration with all
proper form, or must show culpabe in
difference aud carelessneSs in the discharge
of responsible duty. The work is valuable
to farmers, merchants, mechanics and, in
fact, to men OF every department of bust
ness. 1t contains all legal forms, tables of
weights and measurement, postal rates, river
and railway distances, besides a vast deal of
valuable statistical information. As the
edition is small, and the work is not stereO
typed. those who would secure copies
should send in their orders at once. Price
in substantial half binding, $500; in full
law sheep $3.50 which includes postage
