ton that corporations and joint stock compa-
nies are now performing half the duties OF
American municipalities, and have usurped
the rights of American citizens, is undoubted-
ly true. To the Republican party is due this
invention Interpretations as part OF our gov

by Year. AS Senator voorhees, shows, we are
now paying an organization of these corpora
lions heavy interest for furnishing It's fhehey
which every other country makes for itself.
And these very corporations are fierce In their

people, claim the right to be heard on the
question of what currency they shall use.

Mr. Ross, of New Jersey, wants the State
nlilftia OF the various States fully organized
and drilled to take the place OF the army. His
bill, now before Congress, contemplates the
almost complete abolition of the regular army
II n Its place there is to bea regularly uniformed
u ilitia, the officers and privates of which are
receive SOS per annum. Before this Is paid
h Secretary OF War must be satisfied that
every member of the militia has per-
formed Mt least ten days field service. Ten
regular army officers are to be detailed to In
spect this militia in camp and act as check
on the reports made by the State officers.
Arms are to be furnished the militia In guam
titles deemed proper by the Secretary Of War,
but the States are to uniform them and bear
the expense Of supporting them. except when
called into the service of the general govern
ment. The bill Is to go into effect January /,
1873, and $3,ooO,oOO are appropriated for that
purpose. Next to the great financial ques-
tons the army is attracting the most atten-
ton In Congress. There are already dozen
bills before it on the subject, all making radi-
cal changes in the army organization. 1t Is
evident that the Democrats are not satisfied
a#ith the present amended army bill, which
vssas virtually passed by the Republicans.

ST. LANDRY.

We are in receipt of No. 1, volume 1, of the
st. Landry Democrat, new journal, printed
in Opelousas, and filed with excellent read
ing matter. The Democrat, in its salutatory,
declares that 1t will support no clique or fac
tion but labor to heal the divisions which
have existed so long in the ranks OF our party
In that large and important parish. Speaking
of the State, and of the present administra-
tion the Democrat says:
We all recolect the day when Louisiana was
the most beauteous and queen-like among
her sister States of the Union. We can now
the distant future, when she will again occupy
the same position. Works of internal i'm
provement already completed, and in process
of completion, will soon pour into the lap OF
our nha city Of the MssspRh vda san a1 the
cation at the mouth of the Mississippi river,
with the New Orleans and Texas Pacific road
completed; with the other railroads which
will follow, the natural outcrop and
outgrowth of these and the changed state of
things incident to the Inauguration of q State
government such as we now possess, the eye
of prophecy itself can scarce foresee the ftl-
ture greatness of New Orleans and the eonse-
quent prosperity Of the State. These are the
Louisianian. That they are paramount. with
our State administration, it is apparent to all
who will but review its workings for the last
nine months.
OF it's own parish, we have the following
glowing and, we believe, not overdrawn pic
ture:
st. Landry is herself little empire. She
could furnish homes to-day for $4,000 stalwart
sons OF toll. Her climate Is healthy and salu-
brious; her lands OF inexhaustible fertility.
Thousands of acres OF it are still virgin and
ready to yield the husbandmen heavy returns
Of rice, cotton, sugar. corn. Her facilities for
stock raising are superb; her access to New
Orleans already easy, will soon be doubly 80,
when the New Orleans and Texas Pacific road
shall have been completed. SO far as this par
adise of the husbandman and stock raiser is
concerned it is almost a terra iacognita. We
intend to make its advantages and beauties
known to and appreciated by the outside
world

There has been far too much talk Of late OF
negro emigration to Liberia, or San Domingo,
or some place where they can play at politics
white voters. If the negroes fail to carry a
county in South Carolina, or to send some car
pet-bagger back to the Legislature in Florida,
we are treated Immediately to an emigration
scheme by which they are to go somewhere
else, and thereby ruin our crop prospects.
The threat, at best a ridiculous one, has
grown somewhat stale. 1t has only been en-
couraged by few Radical papers that gave
long and glowing accounts Of the prepare
tons made by the colored people for emigra-
ton They have given overdrawn pictures of
the enthusiasm the suggestion creates among
the negroes and of the ships that were about to
be secured for the business Of transporting
negroes to Africa, and have generally played
into the hands Of the decayed Radical politi-
clans who depend on the Liberian exodus
scheme for living. In fact, they have talked
the subject into life and notorety, to the loss
to each individual negro of that $40 passage
fee.
President Hayes was led the other day into
writing letter on this subject to one Sturks,
negro preacher in Florida, relative to an
alleged negro association in Florida that pro-
poses emigrating to San Domingo. In this
letter he suggests the individuality Of negro
emigration from the South just now. The
letter is superfluous for the reason that the
negroes have not the money to go, and can
not raise it; that if they could raise it, 1t
would be stolen at once; that they do not in
tend to leave, but simply, .negro-like, like to
threaten this; and that, if they did go to San
Domingo, they would undoubtedly all be
slaughtered within q week. Radical politics
would be of little use to them in that land OF
revolutions, where offices are not obtained by
stuffing ballot boxes, but by fighting. No one
can fail to see the folly of all this talk
One might, with equal sense reason with an
idiot who proposes to pull down the sun, and
ask him not to doit, because we should then
be without daylight. Some of the country
papers have actually taken the trouble to
reason against the proposed exodus. In
South Carolina the planters told the negroes
to go, by all means, if they wished to. The
result was the quick disappearance of the
whole movement or of any desire to emigrate
If it had been argued against and opposed, we
should undoubtedly have been treated to a re
vival in South Carolina Of the Liberian fever

THE bankruptcy report for 1877 has just
shssan published. Contrary to expectations 1t
\ shows that the failures were $500. 900 loss than
last year. Notwithstanding this, the report
7fs ifsi raore unpromising than that Of 1876
i, ppaTently we began the year very we'll The
failures showed considerable decrease. For
nine months this continued; but during the
last three months of the year bankruptcy be-
came so common, SO much worse than ever
before known, that we soon caught up with the
disastrous record of 1876, notwithstanding
one Of the best crops the country has ever
made. It may be further said that we have
begun the present year much more inauspi-
] ciously than we began 1877.
The total failures for 1877 were Ss72; the
amount $19o,669, 900. The East and the Pa
eafic slope have been the worst sufferers; the
SDuth the least. The percentage OF failures
Is ais follows The East, one in fifty-eight
arms In business; the Middle States one in
1eventy-three; the South, one in eighty five;
.ras West, one in eighty-four; the Pacific
slope, one In forty-one. The failures In the
South, also, were for smaller amounts, the
average Of Southern failures being sl6022, as
compared with an average of S25,Sl1 in the
Middle States.
At the beginning Of last year there were
. 652 .OO6 firms in business in this country; at
the end OF the year there were nearly 10 600 less
This decrease has been going on for num-
Der of years past. Indeed, in 1876 we had SOL 600
business firms In operation in this country. or
10000 more than we have to-day. That Is,
!. new firms are not rising in the place OF those
that go down; there are fewer business houses
Id the United States to-day than there were
three years ago. and most OF these doing less
business.
What showing this for young and grow
fnr country!

Acircular, which is humorously sarcas ic,
hut which the Philadelphia Record treats as
Annest and genuine, is being sent to the lead
vg business men of the Quaker City. This
circular recites the oft-told tale OF municipal
i xtrayarance and population in Philadelphia
Che debt OF that city is comparatively higher
3 nd more burdensome than that OF New YORK,
md with far less to show for 1t. The Phila-
] slelphia ring out-HerOds the Tammany ring,
and has stolen FAR more money than their TEL
low thieves OF Manhattan. A dozen reme-
dies for these acknowledged evils. the circu-
sar recites have been tried, and oil in vain;
new charters innumerabe have been granted
Philadelphia, but each has proved in the end
worse than its predecessor. The remedy
suggested by the circular is the forma-
zion, by the leading and respectable
business men of Philadelphia, of a joint stock
company with large capital, to which the
entire city government should be turned over.
This joint stock company will select the
city officials, keep the streets in order, organ
ire sufficient street police force, collect and
pay out money, and generally attend to all the
business of the city, just as the present gov
ernment does. The only change will be that
fhe officials will not be elected by the people
az Philadelphia but appointed by the com,
oany. If this privilege be granted the COM
s,sny will agree to take on its shoulders fair
r.ortion OF the city debt, will guarantee to re-
<fucecity taxation at once and will give ample
I AoDds to carry out oil its promises. The cir,
