ELIZA PINKsToN AND AGNES jerks
are enshrined as the tutelary goddesses

authority of the Canton Mail and the
Carthagenian for the statement that as a
reward for her marvellous fiction of out
rage and cruelty by the Democrats Of
Louisiana, for the edifcation of the visit
ing statesmen and the party of moral
ideas of which they were fit representa-
tives, she was paid $500. 1t is yet to be

Ql-S readers will now see the force OF
the remark that it was revelation and
not revolution, the Republican leaders
dreaded in the investigation of the
frauds. The guilty consciences of the
authors. aiders and abettors of the crime
told them, they would be pilloried
before the gaze of the world, and that
is what they dreaded.

We commented in our last issue upon
the injustice of holding the Northern
Democracy responsible for the defeat OF
the subsidy for the Brazilian steamship
line, when such Southern Democrats as
Senators Beck, of Kentucky, and Whyte,
of Maryland, to say nothing of Senator
Bayard of Delaware, opposed the meas
ure. 1t would seem, moreover, that the
Southern port, New Orleans, was not the
only place that was interested in the
bill, but that its provisions applied
equally to New York, Northern city.
Mr.. L. @. Washington, Southern jour
nalist who resides in Washington and
writes impartially for the Southern
press, referring to the scheme says ::
"New Orleans is not more interested
than New York, Norfolk and Galveston,
which were points of sailing, or Chester
have been built. 1t passed the Senate
after hard fight, and Nth opposition
too, from the South 1 am sorry to say"
We know the difficulties in the form of
intense Radical bitterness and clamor
which Northern Democrats have to con
tend against in voting subsidies for
Southern enterprises, and they ought to
be taken into consideration in forming
conclusions. For ourselves we do not
think that Louisiana has cause to COM
plain that her local interests have been
neglected by the present Congress. The
correspondent above cited makes special
mention of the liberal bill for the benefit of
Mr.. Eads, the builder of thejetties at the
mouth of the Mississippi-an enterprise
in which the entire Mississippi valley and
especially the Southwest is interested.
Also the special appropriation which re-
claims Red river for the trade and COM
merce of New Orleans. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars are given in all for
a dam to prevent the river from running
into the Atchafalaya Bayou. The value
of these improvements and for removing
the he'd river raft, etc., (says the wrlter)
will be felt by New Orleans and the
whole State And look also at the vic
tory for New Orleans and the South in
the contest in Congress where the new
mint should be located 1t was very
long and difficult one. The tiles of
Louisville, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago,
indianapolis and Omaha were all strug-
CLING to obtain the prize. New Orleans
won it, and a bill appropriating $685. 900
for re-opening and running the mint was
incorporated into law, and the mint is
about to be opened. Both coinage and
are provided for. A measure
of greater Importance to the commercial
interests of New Orleans and the South
west could scarcely have been passed

Work Comm nced.

Work on the lst ward ''coal and wood
shed shanty" which by courtesy the school
board intends to call school house has
been commenced, and the magnificent (?)
structure will soon be completed. We
think it will not require over week or
ten days to finish up the job, if what we
hear OF the plan and style is correct. Our
readers can judge from this what an elabo-
rate, tasty and creditable affair it will bel!
Rumor says that several members of the
school board were individually opposed to
going on with the work, but Supt. Ninmann
directed the contractor to pr oceed. There
does not seem to be any head or tail to the
business. proper thing for the board to
have done was TO meet and decide upon
plan of action, but no such Formally was
INDUCED in, and the superintendent accord
ingly took the responsibility Of going
ahead; and while the members of the board
stand around and swear at the unauthorized
action OF that funt tionary, the work is
fastening to completion. All Of which
shows the utter want of apprehension on
the part Of the board AS to its duties, and
its ability to discharge them with any de-
gree Of accep,abilty. Why the members
don't have the good sense to resign, and
give the people an opportunity to fill their
places with men who will respect the wish
es Of the public, is what we caLnot under
stand.
