"Reminiscences Of Buffers
BaSeiBe.
from the N. y. c ty Item. J

Butler powerfully affects admiration
of soldiers aud brave men. When
Commanding General in this Depart
nlent, with the CustOulhouse as his
military headquarters, u young COn-
feterate prisoler named Blunt was one
siay brought iu from Baton kOuge.
He was one of Aliens reckless men, a
plucky Confederate captain, whose love
OF life was skim milk to his detestation
Of a Yankee. Butler, with an instinct,
or perhaps perception that Blunt des-
uised liiui, put on his robe Ut magpaplWi-
ty. He gave him not only the freedom
Of the Custolnllullse Building, which
Was his BastiIe, but of the city, and in
deed had he been credentiafed to him
as Minister could not have treated him
with lnare consideration. Blunt was
almost always dressed IN Coutecle lerate
CAPTAINS uniform, was everywhere,
aud in conversation, which was usually
on the subject of the Ian:.eee:s;; i WAS
perfectly open and unreserved. His
whole department, whether Intentional
Iy or not, was offensive. Complaints
Of his being permitted to wear the
gray, precisely AS it in a Confederate
camp, were daily heard and disregarded
by Butler. 1t was quite vain for his
officers to urge ttat Fle thihS was IN
supportable and without precedent.
Blunt continued tn do as he pleased.
Buffers admiration Of a brave man
vas being ventilated, we take it, as
I'M eccentricity. tor nothing could equal
the compIacency with which he always
disposed of the constantly recurring
duestiOns against his own officers and
men. One day member of the city
council, nearly all of whom were tht.
Generals guests, said to Blunt: If
You keep wearing this gray these Yam
KEGS will shoot yon and pretend it was
accident. They feel very much that
way" But the CnnfedrFate only re-
piled "let them slloot aud he damned ;
that's Buffers business, not mine,' and
kept ON wearing of the gray" One
morning however, before any sll"o'ing
had occurred, the commanding General
gave him his release, of which we heard
DO explanation, but presume he had
been exchanged.

six years. during which time its net

the worst year since the war, perhans.

HOME RULE UNDER HAMPToN.-The
close of the year finds everything alb
solutely changed. The political excite
ment which had long kept the State il.
turmoil has Disappeared, and complete
peace prevails. Financial distrust has
given way to ii feeling of growing con
fidence, as the stability Of government
has been restored aldatfairs l,aye settled
into their normal condition. The rel;s
tiOns Uf the two races have steadiIy i'm
proved till 4 far better feeling isa!reasty
reached than was ever before ,kDOwu.
The people are working mnre generally
and energerica!ly. and the universal
Testimony of alI employers is that they
have never had So little trouble with
their hands since the war as during the
pust year. The Democrats have had
full contUl vt the government for
twelve mouths, and Republicans are
free to confess that ttfeirs rights were
never so well guarded. The negrsns
find their fears Of Il new slavery ground
less; they see none of their rights cur
tailed, aud special pains taken tn de-
velnp their militia, which was to be at
nnce mustered ont with the accession of
the Democrats. The Bourbons and ir-
rtconcilables haye been suppressed, and
the liberal policy of Wade Hampton has
triumphed over all opposition, till he is

American history the governor uf the

[From the Alexandria De1nocrat.l
The Minden Democrat and Marksville
Bulletin disapprOve OF our suggestion
to omit calling ii State Convention to
nominate II candidate for Treasurer,
and Insist on having one, because as
they think it is needed to PASS resolu-
tiuDs cOndemnatory of our Legislature
for not calling a Constitutional Con-
vention. We are glad that the real
purpose for which a nominating Con-
venton is wanted this Summer, is
avowrd. Democrats are TO be assem-
bltd, not for the purpose of suggesting
one of their number for Treasurer, but
for the purpose of uniting iu II con-
demnntion of a large number Of them
for doing their duty. Some of our con-
tempOlaries appear to have jumped to
the conclusion that the people OF this
State are gloaning under the dreadful
hardship of living under the Consttu-
ton of 1868. The truth is the people
ale DOT thinking about it, nor talking
about it. Every one knows that the
Constitution OF 1868 contains many de
tects, and every one who has not an axe
to grind is satisfied that the amend
meBts, propoSed by the Legislature,
will remedy these detects. Let any
dislassUuate nian compare the pres
ent Constitution, DIS it will be next Fail
after the amendments are adopted, with
any one Of its predecessors, and he will
see it will then I've the best We have ever
had. Biennial Legislatures, a Judiciary
sy stem modelled TO secure speedy trials,

amended Constitution.

Washington special Of the 12th to the
New Orleans Times, that Southern
Democratic representatives are begin
ming to- wake up to the Importance pf
taking care of their own Interests, re-
garellrss of what the effect will be upon
the party North:
Recent events have determined the
Southern Democrats to endeavor h'

There il a general disposition among

in what way the measures for S0utii-

unreasonable to expect our Democratic
Government to immediately relieve III
FROM onerous taxation, unless We had
the power to repuuiate the Radical

demonstrated that the EXPENSES of onr

were less by from $4,000 to $40, 900, thau
from 1854 to 1S60-Luuisiana' most pros

that they do mt average over IL month

false. The majority Of our people are
sufficiently industrious, but, unfortn
nately, few know how to ecollOmiZe.
The statements of this Radical cor
respondent that" The native white pop
ulati0n Will not work, nor suffer immi
grants to come among them aud till the
land,' is a base falsehood, and had the
correspondent come tO the cOuutry to
see for himself, instead of taking the
word of some calumniatOr, he wOnlh
not have made it. The most friendly
feeling does exist toward immigrants, as
all who have located among us, regard

He gives IL statement from the "relia-
hle geotleman," who thinks nothing
short of a revolution can help us. 1t is
very evident that mighty revolution
is going ON in Louisiana, and it is Tor
the very reason that the people expect
80 muctl-1emand every needful reform,
and the overthrow of every monopoly
that we are not fully satisfied with our
last Legislature, even though they did
save US several millions. The revolu
ton in public sentiment will not be sat
isfied until the government is fully
within their power, and every vestige of
