Who has the Helm I

NJ sane man IN Louisiana can de-
ny the fact, that the present outlook
is exceedingly alarming. At no hour,
in our opinion, during the past ten
years have we been, as people, in
such a precarious situation. Hereto
fore, and during that time the battle
was fought against the monster Radi-
calism itself the effort is to
destroy the evils which it incnlcated,
and which, ifnot rooted out, will des-
troy US.
We ask in all candor, with a sensi.
bilitt of the danger which surrounds
ns, and FROM which we must speedi-
ly be de]ivered--witb the roar Of the
breakers of obstruction in front, to
the right and left, and below us;
with snarling demagogues and idiots
in the Chart Room-wHo HAS THE
HEINZ
Is the gallant old Democratic party
of Lonisiann-=frejgbted with every
interest our liberty, property and
civilization hold dear-scarred with
its thousand wounds in the peoples
battles; is that party to 60 to the
wall because no man can be found
with courage and genius enough !;
with virtue above sel6shness; with
craftsmanship comprehensive be.
yond the miserable quibbles of Black
stone and Kent, to take the wheel and
pilot her out of the danger which
threatens, and tie disaster which
seems immanent for her Obstruction.
1t seems so. We look in vain for
Nichols in this hour of our crisis
He is wrapt in the sombre mantle of
his dream. No word of encourage
ment has passed his lips since We, as
a people have honored him with the
post of PILOT. We looked in vain
in his Message for one word that
would cheer the patriots heart. 1t
was one dreary sea Of platitudes; ;
reciting all the ills, that the merest
tyro knows is sapping our political
and social system as surely as death,
unrelieved by single manly sagges-
ton of relief. What does this mean :?
Has this man no heart for the peo-
pie, or is the peril too great, or the
position beyond his mental force?
We speak feelingly and impera
lively, because the situation demands
it. 1t is the duty of a Governor, to
not only carry out the will of the
people of his State, bnt it is also his
duty to hearken to their wants and
demands, and to carry their sugges
tions to those who have the power,
if properly applied, to give them
relief.
The people have found no response
from their present Executive. No
word Of encouragement has been
voucbsafed them in this, the hour of
their agony. 1t is time he should do
something! He must do it, else bis
motives for silence and inaction must
be explained. If he feels unequal to
the present emergency, lie owes it as
duty to the people to say so, and
not remain as he has, supinely silent
without effort or suggestion-and
allow them to drift back into the
awful jaws. Of Radical-negro rule.
There are, shank God, few men in
Louisiana, who have not only the
ability, but the will to save the Dem
ocratic party and thereby protect the
people, their interest, and civiliza-
tion from the ruin and degradation
which now threatens them.
We ask again who is at the helm 7

THE OLD MINISTER AND TIE TAV.
ERN KEEPE ER's PRETTY wlFE.

Two Methodist clergymen were riding
to the district .copferencs through re.
tired portion Of Canada. One was ven-
cradle brother, the other young man
Just installed in the work of the gospel.
As they passed an old crossroads tavern,
the elder brother pointed toward it with
his whip. aud said: MANY and many q
day I've been at that tavern, and q
mighty handsome wife the keeper had,
too. She was one OF the handsom est
women ever saw, young, pretty, plump,
fine color, and such arms. Many and
many a kiss I have given her when we
were sitting in big haircloth chair ih
the little private sitting room off the bar.

confusion: BLESS me. what have been

it, but then the tongue is," etc. The
young clergyman gave the required
pledge, and repeated it when ut the end
OF their drive the old man besought him
earnestly to remember and not breathe a
word of the matter. But during the
afternoon the young minister arose in
The conference, and declaring that his
conscience would not longer allow him
to bear the burden he had imposed upon
it, and that he must tell the Truth, no
matter how terrible the consequences,
informed the astonished brethren that

is needless to say that everybody first
stared at the speaker and then at the ac.

around had won en- euviable reputation
for uprightness and purity. The accused
baried his face in his hands. and the
chairman desired the young brother to

SOUTHERN STANDARDs.-In March,
1861, the confederate congress adopted
the so.called stars and bars flag, COM
posed of three horizontal bars of equal
wdith, the middle one white. the others
red. with blue union containing nise
stars in white, arranged in o circle. The
resemblance of this to the stars and
stripes often led to confusion, and in
September of that year battle.fsg was
adopted, which had red field charged
with blue saltier with narrow border
of white, on which we're displayed thir-
teen white stars. In 1868 the "stars and
bars" flag was supplanted by a flag
witt white field, having the battle-Hag
for union. This flag was found to be
deficient in service, it being liable to be
mistaken for flag Of truce, .and Fsbru-
ary 4, 1865, the other half Of the field
beyond the union was covered With q
vertica! red bear. This was the last flag
of the confederaoy.
