The great jackson route is the shortest,
quickest and best Northern line to New York
and the Eastern cities. During the heat Of
summer the greatest comfort In travelling is
found on the route by Chicago or Louisville
and along the shores Of the great lakes, or
through the grand scenery of the Allegheny
mountains. TO pass through these regions
there Is no route SO direct, SO quick or SO good
as the jackson, with it's through cars, steel
track and short line, enabling it's trains to
leave New Orleans one hour later than any
other and make the same time.
Excursion tickets are now on sale by this
route, good till October 81, to all the attrac-
tive and famous summer resorts of the North
west, best known among which are Wauke-
sha, with it's celebrated springs Oconomowoc,
thecentre of the delightful lake district of Wis
consin; Green Lake, Grand Haven, st. Paul,
Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec, etc. The
rates are as low or lower than to watering
places In other parts Of the country, and liv-
ing both at hotels and boarding houses cheap
and of the best kind, the couRtry around be-
ing highly cultivated and furnishing every
thing desirable for the table.
All are invited to call at the ticket office, 2C
Camp street, under City Hotel, where guide
books, descriptions, routes rates, etc. will be
furnished, and the fullest information given.

In violation of the express agreement OF the
Mexican government, and collision on the
border cannot be avoided much longer IL the
Mexicans propose to neither assist In the
capture of the murderers and thieves that de-
predate on our people, nor to permit our
troops to persue them into Mexico. Macken-
zie has certainly acted under orders, and these
orders cannot be changed, in which event we
do not see how trouble Is to be avoided. Let
il come say we. Any longer tolerance Of the
outrages that have been inflicted upon our
people by the greaser marauders would be a
national disgrace. An end must be put to
them in some way, and II it can be done In no
other we have no repugnance to war. Indeed,
we don't know that 1t would not be about the
best thing that could happen.

In the hurry Of the last days OF the session,
Congress made some serious errors. or all
of these that in the enrolment OF the sundry
civil bill was the worst. The amendment
relative to the Hot Springs reservation, over
which there was such contest in the House,
was almost wholly omitted from the bill !;
portions OF two sentences alone remain, and
these together read very strangely, and con-
tain q sort of reflection on our engineering de-
partment. After providing that the National
Academy of Sciences shall consider the posi-
bllIty of consolidating the geographical and
geological surveys of the territory, the law
provides that "tax on the (surveys) shall not
exceed SIS per tubful." This we consider n
very small price for surveys II they be good
and correct ones; the style Of measurement
ALSO Ia apparently erroneous, 1t being very
difficult thing to measure surveys with tub

urement, the government will have to adopt It,.

STREET CAR WRESTLING a HIGH
ART

The art of whstling is indisputably one Of
the most elevated diversions practiced by the
gifted among men. It's acquisition and per-
lection betokep an elevation Of thought totally
above the commonplace cares of life, and be-
tray the absence of any Of that vulgar In
terest in the welfare and comfort of others
which brings man down to level with the
common herd OF humanity.
Habftual whistlers are true philosophers,
though they often present the singular incon-
sistency of wearing good clothes. But street
car whisters are philosophers of the highest
possible grade, without being themselves ap-
parently aware Of the fact They take no
thought for the morrow; they never obvious
ly took any for yesterday, and they evidently
have no mind for the present; no care for its
stern realities and none for their surround
ings.
Nobody ever stigmatized them with the
base allegation of their ever having pos
sessed the slightest possible basis for
thought mind or care. In fact, they are
universally and unanimously regarded as
beings gifted with an utter absence of any Of
those heavy mental responsibilities which
are supposed to fall upon that class of men
among whom, unfortunately, no such philos-
ophers exist.
The ordinary street whistler, it is true, is
regarded with envious wonder wherever he
goes; but he is passing prodigy, an evanes-
cent wonder, and has rarely afforded a
liberal opportunity for psychological analysis
and proper appreciation of his parts. How
ever his pretensions to any claim upon pub
lie appreciation are entirely eclipsed by that
greater philosopher, the street car whistler.
We do not mean here to basely insult the
mule in front by a reference to him; far be 1t
from us to insinuate that he has inherited
any of that sibilant music which uniformly
closes the melodious song Of his paternal
sire. No, his bray comes in like symphony
of Beethoven, when it momentarily varies
the perpetual bars Of "Baby Mine" THAT
Beautiful Shore" and whoa, Emma" be-
sides such other classic melodies as have
been diligently acquired by the whistler in
side the car.
1t might be inferred from the foregoing
sentence that we do not admire that class Of
music. We do not mean to entirely convey
such an impression, but let us really confess
| 1t is not the music we admire so much, but its
origin; not the effect but the cause. What al
enviabie disposition it betokens, what ingenu'
BUSINESS it betrays, what a faithful and impair
tial appreciation of the musicians self! We
are involuntarily led to surmise, "Well, there
is being who has no heavier care in life thar
to blow his nose at the proper time, so thai
his lungs can be constantly supplied with all
to perform their necessary part of bellows fol
the perpetual musical organ" With score
Of faded fellow-passengers we appreciate the
melody, but our appreciation is in manner
crowded out by the superior sentiment Of adj
miration for the sibilant philosopher.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The Times credits the Republicans In Con
press for the little good that body accom-
pllshed, and charges the responsibilities for
It's shortcomings upon the Democrats. Gar
field and Foster are Its ideal statesmen. In
deed, had IL not been for this precious pair OF
bloody-shlrt howlers the Times thinks the
South would have got nothing. Such are the
views we naturally expect TO emanate from a
journal VIGOROUSLY hostile TO the Democratic
party and In sympathy with It's enemies.
We do not care just now 10 discuss at any
length the attitude of the Times toward the
Democratic party. The dark and cruel his
tory of reconstruction is still too fresh In the
minds Of the peopleof the South for the Times,
or any other journal, to hope to create Repub-
lIean sentiment here; and the fact that the
commerce and industries of the whole coun-
try are lying PROSTATE under the influences Of
the Republican legislation OF the past ten
years is too clear to the people for any journal
to be able to make them believe that there Is
any hope for the country in restoring that
half defeated organization to power.
We are by no means satisfied with the work
of Congress; but 1t is folly to deny that the
South has received more from the last session
of that body than 1t had previously received
since the war. For this measure of good we
areindebted to the Democratic party and to the
Democratic party alone No one will believe
that there would have ever been any change
In the Southern policy of the Republican
party if that party had maintained Its SUI
premacy. The South never obtained any
thing from Congress save wrong, robbery
and insult until the Democracy captured one
branch of Congress, nearly captured the other
and actually won the presidency.
The Democrats have forced the Repub-
licans to abandon in q measure their cruel
and relentless policy Of persecution toward
this section. But the Democratic policy in
all its breadth cannot be carried out until
that party obtains the control of both branch
es Of Congress. This is the end, therefore,
that all men who desire revival of trade
and industry and complete reconciliation
between the sections should aim to bring
ahnut

It is astonishing how Sherman has recov-
cred his memory since the jerks woman has
been on the witness stand. He was very
doubtful at first about that celebrated "Sher-
man letter." and feared to deny it, taking
remedy In that refuge of all persons, willing
but afraid to periure themselves, Il really
don't remember" As soon, however, as Mrs.
jerks came to his relief, he gladly seized on
her explanation and awarded her the honor
Of composing or debating the letter. Now,
as the jerks woman has already openly per-
iured herself half dozen times, as even the
most bitter Republican papers admit, this
sudden catching at her testimony by Sher-
man was open to the suspicion that he was
very anxious to get out of the difficulty and
willing to welcome any one, even self-con-
fessed periurer, who would help him out.
This fact has struck the attention Of Repub-
can as we'll as Democratic journals A cor
respondent OF the Chicago Tribune questioned
the honorable Secretary on this subject the
other day. IT denied having written the let
ter as strongly as any honest man could" he
answered, Sin face of the assertions repeated
ly made that the original letter and photo
graphic copy of 1t would be produced
According to Sherman himself therefore,
he did not deny the authorship of this letter
at first because he heard Photographic copy
Of it would be produced; when he learned
from the jerks testimony that there was no
such copy in existence, he was perfectly will
ing to come out and swear that he had never
heard, written or seen the letter willing, in
fact, to foreswear his letter in the most en-
nhatic manner

There was a large and fashionable assem-
blage at ST. Pauls Church last evening to
witness the marriage of Geo. Nicholson, Esq.
one Of the proprietors of the PicGyr'ne, and
Mrs. E. J. Holbrook. A full account of the
Interesting and happy occasion will be found
In our city columns this morning. Mr.. Mich
olson has been for many years connected with
the PicGyttne, and is we'll known to its wide
circle of readers The charming bride, Mrs.
Holbrook- Pearl Rivers-is well known
throughout the South through her many
beautiful poetic and prose contributions to the
press. She has also, we believe, regularly
contributed editorial and miscellaneous mat
ter to the columns of the PcGyatne. 1t affords
us unfeigned pleasure to tender to our fair
and talented contemporary, and also the gen
tleman who has been so fortunate as to win
her heart and hand, our congratulations and
most sincere and cordial wishes for their fu-
ture happiness and prosperity.

Since we furnished the Times, the other
day, with list of twenty-six papers in this
State which earnestly and emphatically de-
manded a constitutional convention, we
notice shat two other papers, the Madison
journal and the Attakapas Sentinel have
pronounced in favor of new constitution for
Louisiana. The time for electing delegates to
the State Convention is drawing nigh, and 1t
behooves all our papers to pronounce on this
great question either one way or the other.
There are dozen or so journals that have
been silent on this question; let them speak
out now, In order that the Times may know
whether the press and people Of this State de-
rsaand new constitution or not.

The tramp nuisance seems to have broken
out again In the West. For the last two
months, thanks to Congress and the Potter
investigating committee, we have had very
little news about tramps, but now that Con
gress has adjourned and the committee has
devoted itself to the slow and tedious work Of
extracting the truth from the jerks woman,
the tramp has become again IN object Of in
terest. In the West he Is moving about in
greater numbers than ever. An organized
body of four hundred tramps are reported to
have taken possession of freight train going
to Davenport, Iowa, to have disembarked at
that town and really taken possession of 1t.
Another gang Of two hundred Is reported at
Jacksonville, ILL.,, and body of hundred
and fifty at Jerseyville, in the same State.
Five hundred more are reported between
these towns and Jerseyville, travelling in
northerly direction. All Of this gang were
noisy and disorderly, boarded freight trains
and insisted upon being transported from
place to place free Of charge. Their numbers
prevented any attempt being made to stop or
arrest them, and they seem to have had things
entirely their own way.

The Globe Democrat has little joke Of its
own. It calls the last Congress Dem Con-

ASS" Now this is very funny, and does not
look bad, either. Had we been speaking Of

ted il differently. In our brutal way weshould
have called it "a damned hyphenated Grant
stricken ass" But, then, Deacon Mckee has
gone through penitential experience lately,
and to spell cuss words would shock his reno
