The Coming State Treasurer.

The Claiborne "Guardian,"
one of the ablest journals in the
State, thus favors our choice for
State Treasurer, Maj. j. c. Mon
cure, of Shreveport:
There is no reason why this
this gentleman (Maj. Moncure)
should not receive the support
of all the Delenates in the Con-
vention. We have never for a
moment given a thought to any
other person for the position.
Maj. Moncure should be the next
State Treasurer for many rea-
sons. He would if he and the
people had their rights be now
discharging the duties of that
Office. His being deprived of
that position was not by any
means the least of the outrages
the Radicals have committed in
Louisiana. In the State there
is no more noble man, no purer
gentleman, no better Democrat.
Combined with all these is a
remarkable intellectual ability
which eminently fits Maj. Mon
cure for the proper discharge of
any important official position.
The editor of the "Guardian"
gave Maj. Moncure enthusiastic
support before knowing him
personally; now that an acquain-
lance has confirmed the opinion
previously formed of his merits,
we gladly state that we feel it to
be a most pleasant duty to ad-
vocate his claims for nomination
and election to the Office of State
Treasurer.

A young man left France when
he was II years of age, and came
to Marksville. On arriving at legal
age, he was naturalied as an Amer.
lean citizen. Under the laws of
France every male must serve GER
tain time in the army, or furnish a
subject. While q citizen of this
country, a portion of his property
in France was sold by the govern
ment to hire substitute to perform
services he owed that country before
he became a citizen of this. The
Marksville Bulletin asks can this
be done9 Without looking into
the legal merits of the case, we can
answer the question, by stating on
its own authority, that it appears it
can, az it has already been done.

The Democratic Congressional
Executive will examine into the
Florida and Louisiana frauds,
not for the purpose of disturbing
Hayes title, it is said, but to
''show the country that frauds
have been committed" The
country already knows that.
What it now wants is, that when
these frauds have been officially
proven. the chief conspirator be
bounced unceremoniously out of
the White House.

The House Judiciary Com
mittee has reported favorably on
the bill to re-estab lish a United
States District Court for the
Western district of Louisiana.
This District Court was abolish
ed in about 1861. It's sessions
were held at Alexandria. 1t is
a great convenience to the bar
OF this portion of the State, and
saves both time and expense,
and facilitates business.

Communists of Chicago, Gin
cinnati, and other western cities,
promise to make things lively
this Summer. In the Springan
Summer seasons, when business
becomes dull and thousands of
laborers are thrown out of en-
ployment, communistic organi-
cations spring up in these large
cities. With a return of the
business season, the excitement
subsidies until hard times come
again.
Like an epidemic, this leveling
spirit is spreading, and has
reached New Orleans. The
streets were recently placarded
with mysterious posters urging
united action and organization
upon those of that cabalistic
crowd. But they are not re-
garded as sufficiently numerous
in the Crescent City to create
any commotion.
With the laboring element of
cultured New Orleans the social
istic ideas of those of the uncul-
tured and restless West, will
find few advocates. Here, we
are educated up to that standard
of political economy which
teaches thatevery one is entitled
to the fruits of their own indus
try. Those visionary revolu-
tionists wish to abolish capital
lists, and say that no person
should be allowed to possess
more than $4,000 worth of pro-
perty at a time. When a person
acquires more than that, it
should be reduced by raising
the wages of the laborer. Or,
in plain language, it means the
confiscation of the results of in
dustry to support the idle, and
thus put a premium on vaga-
bondage. This, they say, is the
first step toward the "equaliza-
ton of all classes As they
cannot become the equals OF
others in learning and wealth,
they wish to drag them down to
their own level. If they cannot
enjoy the good things of life,
their uncouth selfishness teaches
them that others should not,
either.

Last Monday, 10Th May, Con-
gresham Potter, Of New York, in
troduced the long expected resOlu-
tons requiring an investigation into
the Louisiana and Florida frauds.
The names of John Sherman, Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and Edward
NOyes, Minister to France, are men,
toned as parties to the frauds. A
select Committeeof eleven members
will be appointed. The parishes of
West and East Feliciana, aud other
parishes in Louisiana, where frauds
were committed, will be included in
the investigation. The Republicans
attempted to defeat the adoption of
the resolution by amending it SO as
to include South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi. This was refused, and the
Republicans were told if they wish
ed to investigate + auds they could
do so under separate resolution.
The previous question was called.
The Republicans refused to vote
and broke the quorum. The House
then adjourned. A number of Dem
Ocrats were absent. On their return
the resolutions will be adopted.
The National Greenback, or Labor
Party, met at, Philadelphia, last
Thursday, and nominated a full
State ticket. Among other things,
this party demands the repeal OF the
specie Resumption Act, and the is
suance of more paper money; that
the Government should aid families
desirous of settling on public lands !;
that eight hours should constitute a
days labor, and that the working of
prisoners under contract should be
abolished, as it degrades labor
also, equal political and civil rights
for women, and graduated system
OF income, and the encouragement
of ship building and internal i'm
provements, so as to create work
for everybody.
Mr.. Charles Morgan, proprietor
OF a line of steamers from New Or

Orleans and Texas Railroad, died at
New York, on the 9Th inst, after
two months illness, aged SO wears.
His fortune was princely. He left
an only child, Mrs. G. A. Whitney,
of New Orleans. To Mr.. Morgan,
Louisiana is indebted for great
deal of her prosperity. He dredged
out a steamboat channel through
Atchafalaya river, and made ship
canal of Buffalo bayou. and made
many other much needed improve
ments which exist as evidences Of
his liberality and enterprise.

At the last session of the Leg
islature the State was authorized
to loan $4,000, 600 Of its bonds
to the New Orleans and Texas
Railroad, taking, as security, a
first mortgage on the road for
$2,5O0,OOO. The Supreme Court
recently decided the Act Consti-
tutional, and the bonds will be
issued, and, we hope, the road
will be built. The State now
owes about sl2, 600, 900, so it can
issue 81, OOO, 900 of new bonds to
loan to the Railroad Company,
without exceeding the Constitu-
tional limit of SO, 100000. The
bonds will be placed upon the
market by installments, SO as
not to decrease the value of those
of former issues.
This proposed road from New
Orleans to Texas comes up by
Baton Rouge, Alexandra, below
Natchitoches, then over into
Sabine and De Soto, by Many
and Mansfield to Shreveport,
thence to Marshall, Texas.
Work will be commenced on
this end of the road at once. At
the other end, 100 miles are
graded. 1t is anticipated by it's
projectors that cars will be run
ming Through without change"
from New Orleans to Marshall,
Texas, in twelve months. The
distance from Shreveport to New
Orleans, by rail, would be about
300 miles, and could be made in
10 hours. By river, it is nearly
700 miles; time, four days, and
sometimes longer.
This will stimulate enterprise
and so increase business as to
demand the completion of the
road from Shreveport to Vicks
burg. Then the era of prosperity
for this State will have been re-
newed, and the ''fnsh times" OF
yore will again visit this now
poverty stricken country.

Pay or No Pay.

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says: "Does such and such a
crop pay has become a standing query.
Now, pay is the difference between q
certain amount of outlay and a certain
amount of income, and it is only when
the inc. me is greater that it is said to
pay. In all investments on a farm it is
very necessary to hold the money outlay
in check and make up the deficiency
with extra care and brains. The slip
shod mode of management so common
never pays, and all ''slipshoddies'' Ito
coin a new word) say that nothing pays,
and it is only from that class that we
hear the cry, EARNING don't pay" A
careful man makes everything pay; he
bestows care upon every operation, and
during every moment OF that operation
his mind is totally given to his business,
which he conceives to be to produce the
best possible article. 1t is not the crop
or stock that with some does not pay; it
is the man that doesn't pay (attention
understood, as we used to say in our
parsing lesson). The fact is, when any
thing doesn't pay it is because it has no
chance.
The moment man finds that his laboJ
doesn't pay let him increase the amount
of outlay in that line; that is to say, let
him increase his capital by the addition
of brains, care, perseverance and courage,
and the pay will come.
Producing great quantity of a thing
overstocks the market; but producing q
high quality always increases the number
of buyers. The market is short, the price
runs up, and then ''it pays"

Muck.


WHEN dry, muck makes an excellent
bedding both for cattle and pigs, as 1T
moves a powerful absorbent of urine and
ammonia. The escape of ammonia (the
most volatile but the best part of the
msnures about the homestead) is in a
great measure the cause of the strong odor
from stalls, barnyards, sinks and privies.
In the stable a bedding of dry muck of
couple Of inches, will arrest and imprison
the fugitive, while a slight covering of
leaves and straw will Keep the animals
unsoiled on lying down at night. The
foulest stable floor viii lose it's pungent
odor in a few minutes If overlaid with
fine muck or pulverized peat. When
dug in the summer and intended for this
purpose, the dryer portions should be
carried to the barnyard and placed under
shelter; and in piling it up it would be
we'll 10 mix it thoroughly with a small
quantity OF lime, to prepare it for quick
decomposition.
Another advantage o. such treatment
is that a large quantity OF it can after
ward be added to the manure in the COM
post heap. If then cOmposted in pro.
portion of five loads of muck to one of
manure. the absorption of urine and the
retention of gases, together with the ele-
ments OF muck itself, will render the
whole mass as good as an equal bulk OF
uncomposted manure. The most expe-
ditiOus way to prepare muck for use is to
mix with it quantity of lime in the
proportion of from three TO five bushels
of the latter to a cord of the former
The lime to be used for this purpose
