The Main Object.

There seems TO be disposition i'm some
quarters to agitate the question of suffrage for
the District. This is an unfortunate and in
OppOrtune movement. The main object i'm
which all citizens are interested, is the secur-
ing from Congress the legislation fixing def
nitely the proportion of District expenses the
General Government shall bear. Until this
legislation is secured We cannot hope for any
assured prosperity. Business must languish,
confidence and credit will remain impaired.
improvements, public and private, must be re-
tarded, and every interest must suffer until
the people get some relief from the crush
ing burdens of debt and taxation unjust
ly thrown upon them. The justice of the
claims of the District is 50 apparent
and has been so effectively urged that there
Is every reason to expect favorable response
frcm Congress. 1t would be suicidal, then, in
the last degree to defeat this great measure of
relief by Juggling in distracting issues of no
practical importance. The suffrage question
can afford to wait. When Congress has once
agreed TO shoulder its share of District bur
dens. we can afford to wrangle at will over the
relative merits of unlimited suffrage,
qualified suffrage, and no suffrage at
all. Until Congress does this. all the Suf-
frage in the world Will not help us bit.
The idea has been induStriOuSy impressed
upon some of the labOring people that if
suffrage is restored there will be plenty of
work for them. This is a deluSiOn. The
oppressed taxpayers are not able to sustain
the present high rate of taxation requisite to
pay the interest upon the present indebted
ness, and cannot raise money to pay the wages
of labOrerS on new improvements. The relief
for the labOring men must come. not through
suffrage, but through the action of Congress,
paying over TO the District every year just
proportion for District expenses When this
is done there will be money sufficient to give
employment in street work, &C., and at the
same time general improvement in business
will follow, causing the revival of building
operations and private improvements, thus
affOrding all opening for remuneratiye en-
ployment to the labOrer and the mechanic,
and u revival Of trade for our merchants and
shop keepers. Let us secure the main object
now and talk about the ballot hereafter.

WHENEVER AND WHEREVER.

Diseases of choleratic type prevail. or
there is aus TO app:ehend a visit from
them, the system should be toned, regu-
lated and reinforced by q course Of Hos
letters Stomach Bit'ers. Perfect diges-
ton and a regular habit of the body are
the best safeguards against such mala-
die., and both are secured ny this inesti-
IN bic tonic and alternative. The Bit
tiers are so extremely serviceable in RENE
dying such disorders. If promptly taken
in bile us collie, diarrhoea and cholera
morbns. the disease is usually frustrated.
In diarrhoea cases, it l. only necessary to
rest,re The tone Of the relaxed bowels,
and this is one of the specific effects OF
the medicine. Wind on tho stomach,
heartburn, biliousness, nausea, headache
and Other symptoms OF disturbance in
the gastric and hepa;ic regions are also
speedily relieved by this excellent reme-
dy. As a family medicine it is invalua-
BILE, since it promptly and completely
remedies those ailments which are of
most fr. qnent occurrence.

GOOD ADVICE TO THE
BOYS.

Probably not one in a hundred
can do any one thing thoroughly.
They can all dig away at any.
thing that comes to hand; but, as
for excelling in any trade, bust
hess, art or profession, that is ut
terly out of the question. One Of
these young men calls upon us;
perhaps he is a graduate Of some
college, has his diploma and plen-
ty of recommendation from clergy
,men and members Of Congress.
We ask him what he can do. He
is not particular, he can turn his
hand to most anything. We gave
him a trial, and find he cannot
write a decent hand. nor spell or
punctuate correctly, nor with
any degree of rapidity, nor read
a strange manuscript, nor do any
thing whatever with promptness
and Judgment, which is requisite
in business. He has no knowledge
Of any subject ; has simply a
iumbled mass o; information,
which may be sound or otherwise
and which he cannot turn to any
practical account. He has been
all his life reading about how
things are done, instead of learn
ing to do them.
This is wrong. Young men
should reduce their education to
practice as they 60 along. They
should learn to do. They should
study less, practice, or work more
read less, and think more that
instead of being useless, superb
cial, imbecile automatic, they may
become thorough, practical execu.
tive men, capable Of doing what
they undertake, to the last degree
Of perfection, and with a vigor
and rapidity in keeping with the
characteristics Of the age.-[Nash-

We are happy to learn that

for State Senator from the Tenth
Senatorial District, subject to

ing resided in Louisiana for many
years he is fully Identified with
every interest Of the country, and
if nominated, will make a most
useful and influential Senator.
He has been a resident Of Yer
million Parish for over eight years,
and will no doubt receive the
and unanimous support of
its citizens. In the dispehsation of
official favors and preferments in
our Judicial and Senatorial
districts, the Parish of Vermilion

There is considerable talk on
the streets, that the friends of
Judge Adolphe Bailey will pre-
sent his name at the Baton Rouge
convention for nomination for
Congress from this District.
Judge Bailey was elected in 1868,

the proper zeal her own GOOD
men when candidates for district
Offices. We understand that the
Parish of st. Mary is now will
ing TO accord to Vermilion the
choice of State Senator ; and we
sincerely trust that the citizens of
this Parish, will not let the pre-
sent opportunity slip, to place one
of her own worthy and respected
citizens in the Senatorial chair.
In view Of the prospect of
immediate railroad connections
with Texas and New Orleans,
and the increased development
of the country which will necess-
.arily result there from, the in
terest Of Vermilion Parish i'm
peratively demands that she
should be represented in both
branches Of the State Legislature,
by able and true men. 1t is only
thus can we hope to develop
in the highest degree, the vast
resources of our beautiful Parish,
and to convert our lovely
praires and luxurient wood land;
into the rich pastures and fertile
fields for which no time designed
them. The people Of Vermilion
Parish have slumbered long
enough, aud the time is at hand
when they should arouse their
latent energies, and prepare
themselves for the new era OF
progress and prosperity about to
dawn upon them.
AS a gentleman Of enlarged
views, liberal sentiments, and
sterling qualities, Mr.. King is
%eminently fitted to represent the
Tenth Senatorial District in the
next State Legislature. Born:
reared, and educated in the
South, a soldier of the Confeder'
acy, and a democrat to the maner
horn, if elected, he would prove
a faithful, representative to his
constituents, and he an earnest
advocate Of their best interest
Ills undispnted qualifications
will without doubt command the
respect Of the Senatorial Conven

nomination of State Senator. He
is now temporarily absent on q
