INDIGNANT VIRTUE.

The virtuous indignation expressed by Re-
publican leaders at the repeal Of what is
known as the supervisors law, in the
manner decided upon and pursued by the
Democrats, Is but skin deep, as history Of
the facts connected with the passage of the
law will abundantly show.
In the session OF Congress embracing June,
1872, the sundry civil bill passed the House OF
Representatives In ordinary and usual form.
Upon its reaching the Senate Pitt Kellogg,
with an eye to business in the remote and
close country parishes Of this State, tackled
on an amendment to this effect:
Whenever, in any county or parish in any
Congressional district. there are ten citizens
thereof. OF good standing who prior to any
sentative or Delegate In the Congress OF the
United States.or prior to any election at which
Q representative or Delegate In Congress Is to

cInct in the county Or parish.
Those who are intimately acquainted with
Kellogg and his devious ways will not be
astonished to learn that that individual now
affects horror OF the most loyal sort at the
attempt to repeal this law by proper means

Republican colleagues voted soldlv for II

DESTRUCTION AND RE-OONsTRUO
TT0N.

This is the title of the recent contribution
made by Gen. Richard Taylor to contempo-
rary literature-a title which, by the way, we
do not regard as tie most felicitous that
could have been selected. It has entirely too
sentimental and tremendous sound for SO
delightful work, which, II it has charm
more conspicuous than all others, is most
notable for the easy and unaffected, but bril-
liant, conversational tone which Is mani
Tested throughout.
Ii we were called upon to designate wherein
lay the peculiar charm Of this book, we
should be at a loss, among Its many conspic-
uous merits, to fasten upon any one that is
more admirable than several others. We
may say Of 1t, however, that the work is
rather brilliant than accurate, and, therefore,
more interesting and more valuable as a con-
tribution to literature than to history. What
strikes the reader as most remarkable in the
literary respect, are the tropical luxuriance
of historical parallel and literary allusion,
the graphic pen-pietures and character
sketches and the sententious aphor-
isms with which almost every reci-
tai, even Of the most trivial events,
Ia concluded. 1t was not our purpose In COM
mencing this article to criticise Gen. Taylors
book, but to confine ourselves to extracts,
in illustration OF the merits of which
we have spoken. In attempting to do this
the only trouble is to make the proper selec-
tions out Of such nm abundance Of striking
simllitudes and brilliant and original com
mentaries.
The book is confined to a recital Of Gen
Taylor's personal experience Of the late
| war" These begin with the Charleston Con
vention, Of which he was member from this
State, and conclude with his surrender on The
eighth Of May, 1866. -.==-.
Perhaps the most felicitous sketch In The
whole work liz that Of Gen. "Dick'' Ewell
which is drawn with a loving hand. Its
truthfulness will be recognized by every sur
vivor OF the Louisiana brigade. We give il In

On the night of the Fourth, Niagara
Falls were illuminated by the Brush

on the edge and foot of the cataract next

lighted up with electric lamps, and
about 10000 persons on both sides of the
river enjoyed the magnificent spectacle.
A WASHINGTON telegram to the Inter-
Ocean says the Democrats are in their
regular sweat about Republican cam
paign assessments. The Republicans
have already begun to invite cOntribu-
tiOns for campaigning expenses. In
Ohio, California and Maine no person Is
required to give cent, or is an office
holders position dependent upon his con-
tribution. Among all those who refused
to contribute last year not one has been
removed. The clerks, however, mani
fest an unusual disposition to give this
year, as the fate of their fellows at the
capital, they know, will be their fate if
the Democrats get into power.
Is THE question of state rights to
be an issue in the next Presidential
campaign? The Atlanta Constitution
saws it is, and adds: "As far as the
South is concerned, she will continue to
advocate the rights of the states under
the constitution, and so sOlidly is she
confirmed that all the cries of revolution,
nor revolution itself, shall shake her
opinions. The rights of the states I'M
der the constitution. That is the plat
form the Democracy and of the Demo-
cratic South" That is explicit. The
South will insist on interpreting the
constitution for the entire country. She
| fully illustrated her Interpretation in
1861, and she still holds to her opinions.

M. De Lesseps repudiates all Intervention
on the part of the governments. We're
such intended, he said he truly recOg-
niZed the truth of the statement that
the United States was entitled to exer-
else large and important influence in
the management of the canal. He de-
clared that the enterprise had no char
acter or special nationality, but is pri-
yata speculation. Though universal in
it's utility, Paris is silently accepted as
the center of operations, merely because
the French laws are severe, and offer
greater security to shareholders, on ac-
count of the greater control over the adj
ministratOrs of the funds. NJ. De Les
seps remarked during an interview that
he proposes to offer General Grant the
position Of Honorary President of the
company.

THE following is the opinion of the
Lansing Republican regarding our
national banking system: THAT the
national banking system gives us safe
and flexible currency, well adapted to
the wants of our people; that it affords
cheaper rates of exchange than any
other system ever tried i'm this country;
that it affords our people currency at
all times convertible into legal tender
government notes, and one which is al
ways at par with greenbacks in every
portion of our country; that it is not a
monopoly, for it is system of banking
open to all alike; that it is not only not
burdensome to the people but it indirect
ly makes the bonds taxable by national,
state and municipal authorities, and
thus lightens the general burden of
taxation; that it would be impractiea-
BILE, dangerous and cOrrupting to ter
rible extent for the government to mo-
nOpOlize the issues of paper currency,
and shift them as the whims or schemes
of demagOgues demand" -

ENGLAND is becoming alarmed over
the successful competition of the United
States, in the foreign markets, IN vari-
GUS manufactures. The matter was be-
fore the House of Commons last week,
and elected much debate. A royal COM
mission has been appointed to inquire
into the depression in that country. All
sides agree that great cause of the de-
preston was American competition. Mr..
Chaplin, in his opening speech, said he
regarded free trade as a question def
nitely settled, but he could not shut his
eyes to the failure of many of the pre-
dictions of the advocates of free trade.
He did not propose remedy now, but
only asked for inquiry. He pointed out
that the future fate of British agricul-
ture was dependent upon the cost of pre-
duction. in America. If the cost of i'm
portation fell below the cost of prIduc-
ton at home, the ruin of British agricul-
ture was not far distant. Liberals. such
as Brassey, MacDuff and Duff, blamed
the British land system and game laws
for the depression. Their arguments
were summed up in a speech by Mr.
Bright who warned the land owners that
the competition of the United States
would 60 on increasing, and the only
way of meeting it was to get rid of the
stupid and mischievous legislation reg
ulating the tenure and transfer of land
Some of the members advocated protec
| ton.

THE Fourth of July was more gener-
ally observed throughout the country,
last week, than before for years. Even
some of the cities of the South observed
the day, something they had not done
since before the late "unpleasantness.'
As usual, several accidents occurred at
different places, mostly through care
lessness in the use of powder. At Lake
QuinsigamOnd, near Worcester, Mass, q
terrible accident took place, resulting in
the loss of several lives. An excursion
boat careened over and her hurricane
deck gave way, precipitating large
number into the lake. Near Trenton, N
j., wharf gave way under crowd OF
excursiOnists, and several were drowned
