Another Slice from Claiborne,

Hon A. Is. George has introduced q bill
10 add territory at present belonging to
Claiborne parish to Webster We have no
means Of knowing what will be the action
OF the legislature, but presume, as a mat
Ter OF course, that Messrs. Mitchell, Young
and Duke will oppose the bill. Such nc.
ton expected Of them by the people.
The parish Of Webster was an anomalous
creation and was the result Of some rath
absurd legislation. To remedy the defects
OF the original bill it is now proposed 10
take new slice off Claiborne. already
shorn- down into q second rate parish in
point Of size. 1t was the understanding
some years ago that Claiborne Was to ~.
ceive back part Of her territory. and WINS
certainly not expected to be divided again
for the benefit of our neighbor. The feel
Jug Of opposition to the change il decided
and will make itself felt in n manner 90,
ceediugly unpleasant to those gentlemen
who participate in it. The precedent once
established that parish lines may be chang.
ed upon the petition Of few individuals
h'ing on the remote border will lead TO
most pernieious results. Should the bill
pass, the people along the line Of Union
and Lincoln, now discussing the proprie,y
OF a new parish, must be heard. The re.
suit will be that only on the line Of Arkan.

A Word for Politicians.

ing men. In the search made at
certain seasons for honest officials

ness for the man who is not q poll.

of their choice would do more good
if be combined with his native in.
tegrity an. accurate knowledge of
men and the ways Of legislation.
If there is anything to be said in
favor of the politician it is we'll that
the people should hear, 80 therefore
we publish only with the view OF
presenting another phase of the
question, the extract from the Tri.
bune:
With us the pursuit Of political
advancement became long ago a
demoralizing occupation. So many
thousands went into it for the most
sOrlid purposes, and followed it in
the most disreputable methods, that
"pOlitician' became a term of re-
proach. A place under government,
instead Of rejecting lustre on the
man who held it, rather exposed
him to suspicion. 1t is trne that We
can point to a few men, in Congress
and elsewhere, who have devoted
their lives to pnblic affairs with an
uprightness, dignity, and patriotic
spirit which the whole country re.
cognizes. But they are brilliant
exceptions. Office. getting in the
main is only q vulgar trade, and a
man is hardly qualified to succeed
in it until he has rid himself of high
ideas and fine scruples.
But in the reaction against poIiti,
cal corruption which has agitated
the country during the past six or
seven years, we are in danger Of
committing mischievous piece of
extravaganza. We must not forget
that governing the United States is
an art, and very difficult art, and
it cannot be learned in week or
two by smart lawyers, merchants,
ministers, and authors, who have
had no experience in the manage.
nent of men and parties. The re.
formers of our day are too much in.
clined to consider it the highest re-
commendatiOn of o candidate TOR a
political post that he is "nO politi.
cian;7 which is much as il they
should undertake to correct..&ne evil
tendencies of the "trage by insisting
thar oil 'fiays should be performed
by men who are "no actors, 1t is
not usual to value q doctor for his
ignorance, or to select gentlemen
who have never practiced law for
elevation to the bench. however
highly they may be distinguished
for general intelligence and personal
virtue. But the principles of com.
mon sense which are vigorously ap.
piled to the liberal professions are
too often forgotten when we come
to deal with affairs of state. The
doctrinaire refOrmer believes that
he can practice one of the most deli
cate OF arts without having learned
how, and that the right way to gov.
ern u political party is to put it un.
der the care of persons who have
no practical knowledge of the
mechanism of politics.
This is pestlcnt nonsense. The
country is governed by parties, and
probably always will be, and the
management Of parties requires a
certain tact, adroitness, and worldly
wisdom which are only acquired by
long experience. These qualities
are perfectly consistent with the first
ordor of craftsmanship.
