THE DEAD OF SHILOH.

(Colonel DeHass in Philadelphia Times. ]
The dead of Shiloh were buried on
the spot the wounded removed to
camp; the Confederate camp destroyed
with a large amount Of property, and
this was the last of the fighting at Shi-
loh! The losses sustained by both ar
mics exceeded the frightful number of
25,OOo men. -Four years after the bat
tie, writer, visiting Shiloh and Cor
inth, gave hideous picture of the con.
dltlon of things. He stated that / 2. 600
Confederate soldiers lay unburied on
the two fields After the battle of
Shiloh, Gen. Grant ordered the dead of
both armies to be buried. The inhu-
nation, however, consisted of little
more than thin covering of earth,
which the heavy rains have long since
washed off, and the brave men who
periled all for their country's sake lie
exposed to the elements. This fact is
dlsgraceful to the Government and the
people, and should be remedied with
the least possible delay. Instead of
squandering means over idle parades,
1t should be our duty and pleasure to
give the bleaching bones of our gallant
dead tho rites of decent burial, Re-
garding this as fitting opportunity,
1t is respectfully and earnestly suggest
cd that Congress adopt some measure
for the preservation of the remains at
Shiloh-that a cemetery be established
and graves properly marked.

An astonishing feature of latter-day
Democracy, in this State at least, is the
deposition on the part of its statesmen
to throttle, cripple and. if possible,
starvc out the Democratic papers.
Prices for public and judicial printing
have been scaled toD such an extent
that no country journal can realize
respectable living at the business. 1t
is only by systematic, clear-headed,
economical way of doing business that

MIXED BABIES.
WACO Registor,1.

Waco Registcr.].
Some time ago there was dancing
party given in a certain neighborhood
in Texas, and most of the ladies pres
ent had little babies, whose noisy per-
versity required too much attention to
permit the mothers to enjoy the dance.
a number Of gallant young men volun-
teered to mind the young ones while
the parents indulged in an old Virginia
breakdown. No sooner had the wo.
men left the babies in charge of the
miscellaneous devils, than they stripped
the babies, changed their clothes, Civ
ing the apparel of one to another. The
dance over, twas time to go home, and
the mothers hurriedly took a baby in
the dress OF her own, and started, some
to their homes ten or fifteen miles off,
and were far on their way before day
light. But the day following there
was tremendous row in the sottle-
ment. Mothers discovered that sim
gle night had changed the sex of their
babies observation disclosed physical
phenomena, and then commenced some
of the tallest female pedestrianism.
Living miles apart, it required two or
three days to unmix the babies, and as
many months to restore the women to
their natural sweet dispositions. To
this day it is unsafe for any of the ba-
by-mixcrs to venture into the neigh
bOrhOod.

ssTHE GREAT LEvEE INTEREST,",

~ SNNAA4o bASAA ~ 10 NS A0EU 10 con-
vince some of the people of the valley
region that congressman nom the
hills would use his utmost endeavors
for the levee interests, as It is to con.
vince Dana of the New York Sun that
Hayes was legally elected President Of
the United States. 1t is mere twaddle
to US to assert that we, of the uhilis," !"
are to be eternaliy ignored, because
the National government will not
build the levees in this State. If It is
an argument or has any weight. to
contend that the Congressman should
come from the riparian region until
the government builds the levees, with
the same consistency he should come
from that region to keep them up, and
thus because, from the vote cast for
Gov. Nichols, it appears that the val
ley country is stronger and can nomi-
nate the Congressman, we must follow
subsequently at their beck and nod,
and all the rights we are to have are
whomsoever the riparian country puts
forward. This is similar to the bone
thrown the Southern Democracy BY
the Northern.
We have not murmurel heretofore.
and would not now, but from the fact
that the papers and people of the
swamp guage n mans capacity for
Congress by the section from which he
hails-that they arc "the hub" and
we can revolve around them to our
hearts content. You, gentlemen, by
'fsticking" together can nominate ii
you cannot name the Congressman.
But there are parishes this side Madi-
son and this side Concordia. If they
claim that the ssbanks of the Ouachita''
or west OF them are entitled to the
Congressman, then what? Do you
suppose any sane man would refuse to
assert by all means in his power to
induce the national government to pro-
tect from overflow our common coun.
try? Or do you think it essential that
General should be preflxetl to his
name, and thus awe the government
by II martial visage?
We have no cause of contention per-
sonally against any candidate spoken
of from the numerical majority'' re-
gion, but s'rotation in office,' is what
will keep the people of country uni
ted. But if they are ignored, they
will cease after a while to work, and
finally cease to vote. We have solid
vote for some good man, and will give
it to WhOmsOever the Monroe ConVen-
tion may nominate, but we do insist
that we be not ignored on account of
<the great levec interest" involved,
under the impression that man from
the hills will not work for that inter-
est Te'7,tet Sentinel.

THE AMENDMENTS.
New Orleans Democrat.l

| New Orleans Democrat.I
There can no longer be any doubt of
the sentiment of the people OF the State
in regard to constitutional conven-
ton. But, no matter what determine
! ton may be reached on this subject,
the amendments to the constitution to
be voted On at the next election must
be overwhelmingly defeated. Outside
OF the many infquities of the existing
constitution which they fail to touch
at all, it is questionable If, in single
instance, they afford a full and thorough
remedy for the evils they attempt to
deal with. Certainly those of them
which abolish the existing judiciary
system and erect new one in its
stead, If adopted, will operate a great,
an incalculable injury. The present
administration of justice is bad and in
efficient enough, God knows, but to
make it worse, in fact to absolutely de-
stroy it, for the sake of economy only,
will be found in the end most dam
gerous and even costly experiment to
the people, at least. If these amend
ments are adopted, the result will be
to absolutely destroy the Independence
OF the judiciary, and it will cease any
longer to be a separate and coordinate
branch Of the government, so COM
pletely will it be under the control of
the legislative department. There is
not a single court, from the Supreme
Court down to the justices of the
peace, over which the Legislature is
not given powers that must prove fatal
to the independence of the judiciary.
To begin with the justices of the peace.
everything in relation to their courts
is under the control of the General
Assembly. The General Assembly
also has the power to abolish, change
and create district courts at its will
and to regulate the salaries of their
judges. 1t has the right to create
or not, as 1t chooses, a system of circuit
courts with separate and distinct iur-
isdiction peculiar to itself, and to de-
terlnine the Jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court itself. This virtually DESTROYS a
coordinate branch of the government
and hands it over bodily to the Lepis-
1ature, to be twisted and turned and
altered as venality or partisan zeal may
dictate. What is to become Of the in
dependence and purity OF the judiciary
under such conditions as these These
amendments must be defeated, no mat
ter what becomes OF the rest, The
people of Louisiana will not contide
the protection of their liberties of per
son and the determination of their
rights OF property to such tribunals as
these, that are as shifting and treacher-
GUS as the quicksands. The judiciary
establishment must be strong, stable,
reliable, and built ON a solid founda-
ton OF its own, laid in the constitution
itself. 1t is coordinate branch of the
government, of equal if not superior
dignity to the other two, and its pow
ers and pay must in nowise be depen.
dent upon the sweet will of political
legislatures. Parties which control
legislatures have their day, but law
and justice are eternal and changcless
as the sphynx.
