We have finally succeeded in whipping
EvERs. during one week at least, into an
observance Of common dCeency in the con.
duct OF his paper. He did not, last week,
idulge in single exhibition Of his ruling
passion, personal abuse and detraction
Were the amendment the result OF a
"change of heart" we might have some
hope OF him yet, but we have no doubt it
vas the fear Of the lash which induced
the change, and that when we lay aside
the whip the innate malevolence of his ma
ture will again burst forth. We will place
the rod, however, where it can be easily
reached.
We notice another decided improv vement

The world experienced no convulsion last
night, there were In the immediate vicinity OF
New Orleans no earthquakes or spasmodical
overturnings worth mentioning, and yet one
years last Pickering light expired at mid
night and the healthy young taper OF new
twelvemonth effulged in all the brightness
of youthful glow. Yesterday was 1877, to-day
is 1878. There is no occasion to say about the
departed year, nihil mortuis nist bonum. 1877
gave us the ninth of January and dlsenthrai-
ment, as the fourteenth OF September, 1874,
had begun the work of Louisiana's liberation.
Let us bow In reverence to the holy shadow
of the dead year, almost visible still in the
cleaning of the past. and thank God for the
blessings which it has brought, and then let
us turn toward the future, that beams with
all the beauty and radiance of youth, not pry-
ing into futurity, but hoping for what is to
come. Let us remember the past with CRATE
fulness, and look forward to the future with
hope; let us all love each other and be merry
on this threshold of new beginnings and we
will then be able in heart and soul to wish
each other "a Happy New Year

doubtful experiment and wait until the gen.
eral government has tested 1t and shown Its
efficacy or failure.

A neat little robbery game, attempted
Christmas week in Arkansas, shows that the
thieves are not asleep and that merchants
will still have to keep their eyes open If they
want to escape loss. A jewelry firm in Mem
phis received an order the other day for the
shipment OF large lot Of iewelry by express
to Austin, q small station near Little Rock,
Ark, G. O. D. The correspondent announced
that he was going to be married, and the
goods were intended for a marriage present
The matter was apparently perfectly straight,
and 1t was hard to see where any loss could
come in; but II that jeweller had known that
every other ieweller in Memphis had received
exactly the same order he would undoubtedly
have had grounds for suspicion, and
IL he had learned further that similar
orders had been sent to st. Louis,
Little Rock and all the neighboring towns,
he would undoubtedly have called on the pc
lice for assistance. Unsuspicious, however,
the goods were sent by all these jewelers. to
the two stations OF Austin and Beebe, only q
few miles apart These stations are insight
ficant hamlets and the thieves plan was, as
subsequent events proved, tn pounce down
on the express office and carry off the spoils,
which would have been fortune indeed. The
whole scheme, however, although cleverly
arranged, was defeated by the greedness Of
one Of the members of the gang. When the
first consignment of jewelry, amounting to
SGT, 600, arrived at Austin, one of thieves, I'M
able to resist the temptation, and thinking to
get ahead OF his comrades, stepped into the
| express Office and was making off with the
| swag when he was arrested. Suspicious
were of course aroused. The iewelry at Aus
tin was sent back by special train, while the
| train loaded with the other valuables was
telegraphed to, at Little Rock, not to come
on; and consequently when the gang turned
out for raid, there was no booty to be found.
Merchants cannot be too particular nova

The Moffett register law has been proposed
i'm nearly every State in the Union Arkansas,
South Carolina, and even Illinois. talk OF adopt
ing this system of taxation II ii be found sue
cessful In Virginia; and in this State the sue
cess of this law is already fully assured. Ten
uessee. however. is the first State TO take ac-
zion in the matter. The Legislature OF that
State ia divided into high and low tax men.
The latter are generally considered repudia-
sionists, but, in reality have No desire to re-
pudiate the State debt, but simply want the
sax rate reduced. Some one suggested that
the Moffett register tax would be the means
of lowering other taxes. This suggestion was
highly applauded, and, by public request DIR.
Moffett, the inventor of the register, was In
vited to Nashville by Gov Porter to explain
his bill and It's workings. This he did, last
week, to the perfect satisfaction of oil. One
branch Of the Legislature went 80 far as to
pass the law, but the other branch adjourned
without taking any action. II rs certain, how
ever that the Motfett register villa become a
law in Tennessee at the very first meeting of
the Legislature.

Was Secretary Evarts wise or unwise in his
late much -talked-of interview with o reporter
of the Chicago Tribune? The newspapers
have lately written him into all sorts of diff
culties; not content with his undoubted quar-
rel with Conking, they fixed on him row
with Schurz, and even difference with the
President; in fine got him into all manner
of difficulty, until he saw that the only rem
edy lay in being interviewed. reporter
was accordingly sent for to interview him.
Now, being interviewed is no easy matter; it
requires as much skill from the person who Is
put to the torture as it does from the reporter
who has got to squeeze out the needed in
formation. whispered word nay, even a
nod can be made q terrible confession, while,
at too much eagerness or emphasis, it is
straightway declared "methinks she does
protest too MUCH
When, therefore, the reporter asked Evarts
whether he and Schurz had quarreled or not
whether Schurz was responsible for the New
York nominations and whether he (Evarts)
had not tried to unload them on him. the willy
Evarts, instead of answering, no, which
would have been tortured into yes, instead Of
giving long explanation that would have
convinced everybody that these charges were
true, declared II won't answer that ques-
ton, won't contradict those rumors and have
nothing In the world to say on that subject"
| It is probable that Evarts has effectually
routed these rumors by this reply. Had he
denied them they would have proved it on
him. but, as it Is, the sensationalists are left
with no other resource than to invent some
new story
