nothing II not facetious. BY way
OF bit of pleasentry in reply to
our remark that We favored the re
noval of the State Capital for the
sole purpose of re-estab;ishiDg the
Stale government at IL place where
economy and reform canDot be
thwarted by the rings known to
exist in New Orleans" the Item
expresses fear "that the rings
Will follow the Capital whitherso-
ever it goeth." To this we mignt
properly answer; perhaps SO, but
we have a place here that rascais
dread, aud we imagine that with
that place within sight OF the Capt.
tai building the rings would think
twice before they put their foot in
one Job. Well make wager with
the City Item, that when the State
Capital is removed to Baton Ruuge
that more ring men will follow it
in the earb of convicts than i'll the
garb we see them clothed in
abort the streets OF New Orleans.
Honest and fearless Investigations
will bring to the surface all OF

ten years, and we opine there are
hundreds who are to-day unsus-
pected who will need something
more than lightning rods to pro-
tect them from the terrible thun-
der bolt that will then fall on them.
The Democracy has pledged itself
to purify the political and social
atmosphere of this State, and one
of the strongest steps vet taken in
that direction was the passage OF

give the people chance to remove
the Capital to Baton Rouge. Has
