 Count Turenne, on his return to France from tour in the United States, publishes his opinon that society exists here only toavery limited extent. By that much abused term he means ''those rapports, those sympethetic com munications, that one has with others" He admits that there are American minds enlight- Fened aud cultivated in art letters, and science. but they asse ciate with each other almost ex- clusively. in by no means numerous group He describes as follows what he conceives to be far larger class; "America is full of men who have succeeded .marvelously, but who are themselves a failure; whose residences are splendid, butswhose souls are vulgar; who have pictures and nnotsappreciatei them, books and do not read them, clothes and bad fashions, clientes but no society, fatterefs but no friends, They have acquired fortune by great effort, but they do not know how to en- joy it,. To be sure, there are eminent minds"

American Appointment. by the pope.

suecial cabIegram to the New York
Gfihottc RepieN from Rome brings informa-
ton of three important changes in the Catbo-
lie Ebiseopafe in this country. About year
ago the aged Archbishop Of New Orleans, the
most Rev. Napoleon j. Perche, went to Rome
overburdened with the growing weight Of his
Iabors and his advancing years. to ask for
assistance In the discharge OF the duties Of
his archdiocese. The result OF this appli-
cation, according to this dispatch to the
Catholic RerieW Is the appointment Of the
Right Rt.v. Francis Xavier Leroy, the present
Bishop of Nachitoches, La, to the admins
traitor OF the archdiocese of New Orleans,
with the right Of succession as Archbishop.
The Rev Mark y. Gross, who is at present
q priest at Wilmington, pastor Of the Church
OF st. Thomas, is appointed Vicar Apostolic OF
North Carolina, in the place Of the Right
Rev. Bishop Keane, who up to this time dis
charged the duties Of Bishop Of Richmond
and Vicar Apostolic OF North Carolina.
The Rev. John Baptist A. Broudel. q priest
Of the diocese OF Nesquaily, 10 Washington
Territory, Is made Bishop Of Vancouver's
Island, in place Of the Most Rev. Archbishop
Seghers, who has been promoted to the post
OF conductor OF the Most Rev. Archbishop
Bianehet, In the archdiocese OF Oregon. It
should be understood that the diocese Of VAN
couver's island, although geographically In
British America, is enthusiastically a portion
OF the province OF Oregon In the United
States.

LETTER FROM AN OLD TOBACCO
MERCHANT.

10 the Editor of the Democrat:
Assuming that no one will dispute that fit
ness for an offics ought alone to be- considered
that when several are proposed for the same
Office that one who has given proof Of 81
perior fitness should be selected, 1 have no
hesitation In designating the present Lieu
tenant Governor, Hon. L. A. Witt, as pos
sesslng that fitness. There are lev men ~
Louisiana who have been more thoroughly
tried than he. and the expectations o. Ms
constituents have never been disappoiD1su.
Moreover. many who at one period opposed
his election to a given office, at another period
advocated his election to the same Olint.
Mr.. Witt has occupied many publlc posi-
tions and has always shown himself equal 10
their duties and emergencies - PROOF, nssu
vyIsn IN January. 1875, the Louisiana Iegis-
latIre was driven from the State House by
Federal bnyonets. His imprOmptu protest On
that occasion can hardly be eqnaled IN the
subIlmity OF it's sentiments ana Inc language
in which thew we're conveyed. That protest
deserves to be preserved In imperishable
form and To be had Ia possession by every one
who can appreciate chvalric patriotism and
who has Just sense Of the indignity to which
the sovereign State Of Louisiana was sub
iected by the Federal government.
+ Besides evlncing adequate capacity, Mr..
witt has been faithful in the discharge Of all
The public trusts confided To him. The con
trary has never been alleged, nor can it be
said that the numerous and continued hOnOrS
which an admiring constituency have be-
slowed upon him. nave caused him to forget
10 be affabIe and courteous. No man can be
more modest, Notwithstanding the tempta-
ton TO the contrary.
/ conclude, therefore, that Louisiana does
not contain q man who Will mako better
Governor than Louis A. Wilt.

ON THE TECHE.
We have been blessed with fine weather for
the last two weeks. With the exception Of
one rainy day, we had no wet time since the
first Of the mouth. This has been most for
tunata FIR the planters and farmers, whose
fields suffered so severely by the great storm.
Our agriculturists now speak much more
cheerfully Of their prospects. The little rain
we had rather helped the cane, and did not
materially retard the picking, which Is now
very general. Here and there rust has done
some damage, but the injury from this source
In our section ID not very widespread.
Loads Of new cotton are appearing every
day in the streets OF New iberia, and all the
cotton gins in and about that town have as
much work as they can attend to. The cane
under the Influence OF these sunny DAYS Is
rising from its rec,lnbent position, and II ws

are favored with two or three weeks Of clear,

few showery days; they will De then needed
to mature the cane, which will not turn out
after all badly, if ii can get sunshine enoug b

The famous professor lice, the nostradamus
OF st. Louis, not discouraged by his numer-
Gus mistakes, had predicted great storm
for the sixteenth Of this month. This pro-
phesy had become known to the negroes, and
We believe they never worked harder since
the war, than they have done within the last
two weeks to save their cotton from the
threatened tempest. Iice in this manner has
