A Tilt at Treating.

A correspondent sends the following

/ want to urge a movement which |
believe will do more good for temper
ance than all other agencies together. |
would like to see the utterly absurd,
stupid and injurious practice of treating
done away with altogether, and the Ger
man practice of every man paying for
his own adopted.
Every man who has been addicted to
drink-and | am sorry to say am one
knows very well that his appetite was
got through this practice, and that after
acquired, it was this custom that fasten-
ed it, and made it dangerous.
A young man saunters into his club,
his billiard-room, or any other place
where liquors are sold, without any idea
of drink. He doesn't want it, he did
not intend to take it when he came in,
and knows he would be better off with
out it. Three other young men are at
the bar, two of them precisely like him
self, but who had accepted the invita-
ton of the third, who, further along,
had come in for drink. He is invited
to Join them, and he does, following the
custom which has become law. Awants
a drink, B, G, and d, do not, but take
it. While the change is being made, B.,
slightly excited by the stimulant, sug-
gests a repeat, which is done. c, hay
ing partaken of his friends hospitality,
deems it mean not to spend some money
in return suggests another, and D, by
this time, excited to a degree that de-
mands more, follows with a fourth.
By this time they are half fuddled and
ready for any thing, and if they are not
carried home it is because they are sea-
soned vessels.
If they stop with the fourth man there
are fifteen drinks poured down where,
with this system abolished, there would
have been but one. And the party is
lucky that gets off with forty, instead of
fifteen, more or less.
Every drinking-man in this city will
testify to the truth of this experience.

When the telegraph announced the discov-

had two satellites, and the dispatch was read
next morning at ten thousand American break

fore. Another chop, please. l wonder what
they'll discover next! These corn cakes are

The Claiborne parish mass meeting seems
TO have made serious mistake in reference
TO the representation that the parish is en-
Titled to In the Legislature The meeting ar
ranged for the nomination Of two candidates
Tor the House, the number to which Claiborne
was entitled In the last Legislature. By the
new apportionmeut, however, Claiborne will
have only one Representative, fact that the
meeting appeared to have overlooked.
We have noticed, moreover, that number
of other parishes appear to be ignorant Of
this new apportionment act, and that several
country papers are making mistakes about
the Senatorial districts, and placing parishes
I'D the wrong district 1t is well that these
matters be looked into early in the campaign,
and fully understood and set right In the last
election both Democrats and Republicans suf-
fered severely from mistakes Of this kind
mistakes that might easily have been fatal.
In this apportlonment act, by the by, the
representation that Madison, IbervilIe, St.
Games and several other parishes are entitled
to was left unsettled, to be determined by
census to be taken at once It would be well
TO determine this question Of representation
In these parishes at once as several of them
hold their nominating conventions within
very short time.

constitutions to learn what power the people
OF Louisiana have conferred upon the govern
ment. But the Legislature has undertaken to
reverse the relations of the people to the gov
ment. 1t has attempted to legitimatize
the bayonet edlCt of 1868; to ratify the
theory upon which the usurpers, plum
derers and soldiers of that time acted, ac-
knowledging an authority higher than
the people. In pursuance Of this scheme the
Legislature has attempted to make the people
grantees instead of grantors. and under the
authority and in the name Of the infamy Of
1868 1t graciously tenders the people such an
extension Of their liberties and rights as it
deems they may use judicously, and which
may not interfere with the great monopo-
lies of the State. What greater power could
Caesar or Cromwell Or Napoleon have
exercised? 1.-THE edict OF 1863" says the
Legislature, lis the law of the land.
It's every article Is sacred and must be Obeyed
You, the people, shall not mar It's symmetry
or change it to suit yourselves. But, acting
under It's benefcent authority, we generously
concede you such and such extensions of your
rights, and such and such reforms. II you
are satisfied with these concessions, come for

monopoies and. money rings which have

municatiOn between this and the tropical
Americas established. That Is by steamship
lines, and these can be established, at once
| only by means OF liberal mail contracts with
| our own government. We hope the work of
securing these lines, so auspciously begun at
Washington, will be prosecuted until Con-
gress Is made to see and realize the import
ance OF this too long neglected trade, and is
driven from that do-nothing policy which On
ables England to take most valuable trade
from our very doors.
Yet, the revival of our decayed commerce
does not lie in subsidies and mail contracts
alone. eve need" says an eminent writer
upon this subject, "a revision and continual
supervision over both shipping and shipping
laws, by board representing combined in
fuence of shipping knowledge and executive
power to do the needful. Improve our COM
mercial relations with foreign nations by
treaties that will cement our friendly ties and
advantages with those countries in which we
wish TO market our manufactures as we'll as
our produce, and whose imports we essen
TALLY need"
To these suggestions we will add that we
need, not less than these, educated, we'll in
countries, whose business 1t shall be to push
the commerce Of the United States in every
possible way. Let this service be q source of
Information, sort of bureau Of commercial
intelligence, as well as the guardian of
drunken sailors and unfortunate countrymen
These are the means by which England has
attained her ascendency in these countries,
and we can hope TO supplant her only by the
same process. In the meanwhile, however,
we are glad to note the efforts some Of our
merchants are making, even with the present
inadequate means of transportation, to estab-
fish commercial relations with these coun-
tries. The convention that will meet here in
December will doubtless exercise a great in
fluence towards securing the subsidies asked
for the Brazilian line Of steamers, and in the
meanwhile we can only keep the subject be-
fore the people.
