We have sample OF the bad policy OF CO.

one idea, and that dishonest one. The De-
mocratic party had the brightest prospects.
had the game III their own hands-and the
elections OF Tuesday prove that they have
impaired very seriously their advantages by
dallying with the lunatic advocates Of the
monstrous absurdity OF Z" fiat money" We
remember no instance in which q great par
ty gained anything by coquetting with a
third marty, and the fiat-money party is the
worst as well as the most absurd one that
ever appeared in the political arena. in this
country. Wherever the fiat-money lunatics
have made any demonstration they have
taken from the Democratic strength. 1t is
time that this time-honored party had fully
discovered the folly OF temporzing with
any such party. 1t has proved its utter in
ability to do anything towards advancing
its own views, and has shown that it is only
endowed with power to injure any organiza-
tion that treats it with consideration. We
look upon it as only fit to mar, and utterly
incompetent TO make. Its presence is so
baleful that it would seem in order to revive
an old quotation which was quoted with

AS sample of the rigidity Of the quarantine

THE ARMY OFF TENNESSEE.

A few days ago we mentioned the good work
being done by the relief committee of the Lou
siana Division Of the Army of Tennessee, The
representatives Of this charitable organization
held meeting yesterday and received the con-
tributions which they acknowledge In another
column of this paper, amounting to about $500.
We are happy to see that the people are re-
spending to the call of these true soldiers of
mutual brotherhood and charity. The relief
committee of the Association of the Army of
Tennessee does not limit its labors entirely
within the folds of the association.
There are many cripples who have
last an arm or O. leg in the service Of the Lost
Cause under Bragg and Johnston. whose fami-
lies, under the press Of present hard times are
destitute. and most Of them too proud to &C.
knowledge 1t or ask for help. These are sought
out by the relief committee Of the Army Of
Tennessee and help afforded them to the extent
Of the means In hand Of the committee. Thus
the sacred old traditions and stand elbow to ell
bow with their comrades in veal or we.
All those who fought under the banners of
the old army contributed their mite to the
present glorious and charitable cause. In this
connection We publish the following letter from
Gen r. l.. Gibson to Capt. Victor Olivier, Jr.,

One Of the saddest incidents of the yellow

most estimable young man, at the early age of
tWenty-one years.

city but comparatively short while, yet, by his
own frugality and intelligence, he had already
got q fair start In the world. and had every
reason to look forward to o happy. useful and
successful career. But the most touching point
of this sad story Is not yet told. He had won
the affections. of most lovely and worthy
lady and was just on the eve OF realizing the

Quarantine Raised.

The inhabitants of Alexandria. La, of the
Red River VALLEY and Of parishes that have not
complaints that they have failed to receive
mails from this city.
The cause of the delay Is that the postmaster
and local agent at Red River Landing returns
to New Orleans the mails sent to the Red river
parishes. They assign, as reason for such
action that the boats and stage line connecting
the Landing with the above parishes have
ceased to run.
Mr.. J. Delaney. postmaster of Alexandria,
has, through W. J. Delaney his assistant, re-
quested Postmaster Badger to forward without

Vernon. He says that there is n quarantine at
these points against Now Orleans, and asks the

THE CATHOLIC REAHEF ASSOCIATION

From a notice published elsewhere 1t will be
seem that the Catholic Relief Association for the
victims of yellow fever in New Orleans, through
their treasurer, the Hon. Thos. Layton, Dresi-
dent of the Southern Bank, have received from
various sources comparatively large amount
to be applied to the relief of our suffering COM
munity.
The holy mission of this association is to
give help. without distinction of race or color,
to all misfortunes. It does not ,efrcumscribe
itself to the succor of the victims of yellow fever
though 1t takes these unfortunates in charge,
but with the true catholic spirit 1t watches over
the widows and orphans when the support of
the family has been broken down and shattered
by the scourge This is noble work, indeed,
and must be encouraged.
The Howard Association, with almost God
like benehcence. taxes care of all yellow fever
sufferers. but its labor of charity ends when the
patient dies or when he recovers- after this or
deal there remains q great deal to be accom-
Dlished. the father of q family who lays up for
several weeks leaves his cherished ones without
any subsistence or comfort. Ihe Catholic Re-
lief Association comes to the aid Of these and
hlls great void in the immensity that has to
be covered by the workings of human charity.
