They may receive less nominal wages
but they can bny much more food and

there is wiser course, which, though
not novel, is much more prudent and
practicable, viz: rigid economy and
careful inquiry into ways of living
through the press of hard times and
finally rising above them when fortune
returns. Mr.. Gladstone very happily
touched upon parallel line Of thought

VAlonzo Garcelon, of Lewiston, has
just been elected governor by the Maine
Legislature. He was the Democrrtic
nominee at tho late election, In which
the people of that State failed to name
their choice, owing to the almost even
popularity of the Republican,, Greenback
and Democratic candidates for this posi-
ton, and the clause in the constitution of
that State requiring a majority of the
votes cast to elect. The choice of the
General Assembly in this matter is a
crushing blow to the political aspirations
| of the bloody shirt Senator from that
State, especially as the State Senate by
\ whom Garcelon was confirmed, is over
whelmingly Republican. Perhaps Mr.
Blaine will now follow the course of his
compeer in hatred for the South-Conk'
ling, of New York-and declare in favor

4 CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.
The vote cast by the peo>
ple of Louisiana last Novem-
Der, forces upon all the con-
viction that the voters Of this
State demand, at the hands
Of their Representatives, the
calling of a Constitutional
Convention Immediately. The
rejection OF the proposed
amendments to the constitu>
ton submitted to the voters,
at the last election. clearly
shows that nothing short Of a
Constitutional Convention will
answer their purposes. Re-
trenchment and reform is,
and ever will be, the war cry
Of the Democracy, until this is
accomplished to the entire
satisfaction of the taxpayers
of this State. The Judiciary
Of our State is the most ex-
nonsive and most unsatisfac-
tory ever known in any State
of the Union. the money
now paid to the tax collectors
throughout the State would
support and give to the State
a judiciary far more efficient
and satisfactory than the one
now with which the people
are cursed. The abolition o.
the Office of tax collector, tc
which the Democracy are sa-
credly pledged for more thar
two years. was neglected BY
the last legislature, much t.
the disappointment of the PEG
pie. Why the Legislature
did not abolish that useles
and costly Office they, and the.
alone, can answer.
Now: let the present Legis'
lature do only the work i'm
posed upon them by.their con

THE EIGHTH OF JINUARY.


On Wednesday last the citizens
and soldiers Of the city Of New Orr
leans celebrated with their usual
porp and ci' cumstance the sixty
third anniversary of Jackson's vic>
tory on the plains of Chalmette-
the greatest and most remarkable
o. modern times. On this day,
more than half a century ago, the
rnde hunters and frontiers men Of
Kentucky and Tennessee, with
few hattalions of Louisianans, met
in battle the veterans of Yelling
tons army, men who had f: ught
through the Peninsular war against
ScuIt, Massena and Ncpo!eon, ard
defeated these veterans more Sc
vercly than any army OF modern
times has ever been beaten.
The New Orleans Democrat in
speaking Of this great battle says !:
The campaign that ended in the
victory at ChaImette has been the
study Of countless historians aud
stra,egists. The English cxpedi-
ticn to our coast WIS the most
thoroughly organized, the best furn-
ished and equipped, ever cent forth
from thai Is and The whole pla1.
of the campaign had been fully ar.
ranged in advance, every move
ment determined upon. Success
seemed inevitable. To the surprise
Of the world, a few rude hunters, an
ill-furnished and poorly-equipped
force, met this army aud defeated
it.
But it is not merely az a military
victory that January 8 has beer
honored and celebrated in this
country. 1t is not tho soldier alone
who does homage to it by march
or parade. Jackson's day has al
ways been regarded as a sort o
grand fete day for the Democracy
On tie eighth Of January, as regu
!arlv az on the fourth of July. the
Democrats of New York, Ohio ant
other States assemble;to do honor
to that great Democrat as we'll a.
general-Andrew jackson and tt
pledge their faith and allegiance
anew to the Democratic party.
: 1t is Of all days, therefore, tn
| one that can be most properly ant
fitly celebrated by all. In it W
/ celebrate one of the greatest vic:o
2 ries Of modern times, the proves
= of our own fathers, and the memo
4 ~ OF a man whose deeds in peac
4 equaled his victories in war.
