THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY. MAY 10 1s77

enormous sum OF $780, 900 has been
bestowed by Federal bounty TO build Ut
the material wealth of the Northern
states and Territories. We have not
time and space dust now to give the de-
tails OF these disproportionate expendi-
lures, but the fact az stated will not and
cannot be disputed.
The Union Pacific, which the Times
blandly tells us was built on the "tnid-
die route, J" "in order that neither North
nor South could complain Of being
placed at disadvantage, does not
affect the interest of single Southern
State. and for all the benefit Ii ID now.

just as well not have been constructed.
Besides. 1t is o grinding, gigantic
monopoly which holds vast trade in

affected by 1t dares array itself. In addi-
ton TO the vast land grants made this
road. tho government loaned 1t fifty.
i've millions, out Of which the company
was powerful enough TO finally swindle

allegations OF the New York Times.
Indeed, they show North aud West

bounty Of the Federal Government. |
Ind now striving to repress the growth |
and crush the interests Of the South.
The Southern members will go into the

sectional, illiberal and ungenerous spi-

lid and support In the rehabilitation of
rs prosperity which II Is entitled 10

THE HOMESTEAD Laws.

OF the decision Of the Supreme Court in
the case Of Wolf Il Cert vs.. Mary T..
Harvin. lately decided, as reviews the
laws bearing upon homestead exemp.

the benefits Of those laws. II will bs

the court. holds that even IN express
waiver OF the benefit of exemption. con

and property come within the scope Of
those laws. can effeetually resist the

waiver In the act by which the debt ID

The New York Sun objects to the
rumored Mexican movement because |,
apprehends that the annexation oil
Mexico and It's division into States
would add vastly to the influence and
power of the South and thus prove a far
greater danger to the Union than any II
has heretofore encountered.
nc seems that the Northern press can
contemplate no accession to the wealth,
power and influence of the South ex-
cept az a new danger to the Union.
This Is neither wise nor generous.
There can be no doubt that 1.-THE
annexation Of Mexico" would add to
the power and influence of the South
ern portion OF the Union. But so
would the qualification Of Mexico and
the establishment within Its borders Of
stable and enlightened government
which would develop its resources.
wealth and commerce. or any such
happy consummation in Mexico the
South would most certainly be measure
bly, enriched and strengthened. Is it,
therefore, apprehended by the Sun
that the Union will be endangered by
the establishments OF the peace and pros
perity Of that country? And IL it desired
by that journal that Mexico shall con-
tinue the miserable and revolution
cursed country that it is lest the South
be strengthened and enriched?
In another article we have pointed out
the significant fact that the New York
Times is hostile to the Texas and Pacific
Railroad and to national aid to the Mis-
sissippi levees. because these great
works are calculated to strengthen and
enrich the South; and now we find the
New York Sun literally frightened out
Il its wits at the mere rumor of an Amer
ican movement on Mexico, because the
of that country might benefit
and strengthen the South.
Our Northern friends must cultivate a
broader spirit of nationality and more
+ aterual patriotism.

A few weeks ago postal commission
visited New Orleans In the interest OF
fast mails, stayed two days, had big
dinner and then left for Washington.
Since this visit, our country mails have
been about three days later than ever
before. Before the commissions visit
1t usually took paper three days to
reach Natchitoehes; now 1t takes at
least ak days, which Ia travelling at the
rate OF about mile and a quarter an
hour.
The last Alexandria Democrat gives
the key to our fast" mail system in
the country. The Natchitoohes mail
arrives ut that place In the evening
and frequently remains over night and
letters are often stored away in the
postofiice four or five days before they
are sent. In fact the mail carriers seem
to carry the mail just as they please.
The complaint Of bad mails has be.
come crying evil, particularly In the
Red River country, and must be re-
medied. II the postal commission,
which, by-the-by, is coming South
again on tour Of inspection, will do
vote itself to solving this one question,
how the mail from New York reaches
Natchitoches, distance of 1900 miles,
In four days, while 1t takes the mail
from New Orleans, a distance Of 2eo
miles. six days to reach the same place,
It will do much for Louisiana's mail

because the Southern States of the
Union are TO be the first and immediate
beneficiaries Of them, the Northern
press, and we fear too many Northern
Democrats, are bitterly opposed to
them.
But let us admit that our claim for
aid to these works rests upon the mar
row and selfish bases suggested by the
New York Times: Is it not still strictly
just claim? The North and West
largely owe their material advancement
to lavish gifts and disbursements from
the National Government, while the
Union Pacific Railroads. fraud upon
the commerce Of the world and swim
die upon the treasury-was the creation
of Federal bounty. But the Times

says that remarkable paper, sis indebt-
ed for very little to the bounty OF the
National Government" The facts
broadly contradict these daring
statements Of the New York paper,

the origin Of the American government,
but $17, 0OO, 900 have been expended in
aid Of Southern improvements, the

UPS AND DOWNS.

Life is full of ups and downs
Valleys, plains and mountains,
Not forever are our tents
Pitched by pleasant fountains.
Sometimes IN the burning sun,
Sometimes in the shadow;
Now we climb the rocky steep,
Now we tread the meadow.
Life is full of ups and downs
Made of gains and losses:
Flowers that on prickly stems,
Crowns that hang on crosses,
Summer breezes fan our cheeks,
Nintry blasts alright us;
And when SHOWS white mantle rends,
Springs fair sights delight us.
Murmur not at ups and downs,
They are needful changes;
He can never err IN aught
Who thy lot arranges.
Seek not as the highest good
Thy content and pleasure:
Wings have they to f1v thee still
Seek better treasure.
Wouldst thou make life's ups and downs
Easier seem and brighter?
snare tly ielioWS utdNy lotu-
Thine shall be the lighter.
Smooth the pillows OF the sick
Sweet shall be thy slumber;
viii to bless shall bring to thee
Blessings without number.
Who would dread these ups and downs,
Since they bring us nearer
To the outer wall of life,
Where the light grows clearer?
Nearer to the heart of Him
Who, with gentle guiding
Leads through all life's weary ways,
Into peace abiding?
Love can take from ups and downs
All the pain and trouble;
For the joy we give away
Comes back more than double;
Love to Christ and love to man,
And a heart forgiven,
Make the ups and downs of life
Just path to Heaven.
