A Motion Withdrawn.

A few years ago the following Incl
dent took place in Washington County
Texas. The jury ofa Circuit Court, be.
fore whom a miserable wretch had been
tried, returned a verdict of "gullty,' -
and contemporary suggested the
"whipping post" The Court then adj
journed for dinner. Immediately af-
ter dinner the defendants counsel,
without consulting his unfortunate eli
ent moved for new trial, and COM
menced reading the motion.
"Hold on, for Gods sake" whisper
ed the client, pulling at the counsel's
coat tail. "Dont read that"
"Let me alone" muttered the law
yer, irritably: "1'll attend to you when
I've read the notion"
"But don't want you to read the
notion" whined the agitated culprit.
"Don't want me to read itP Why
not? What in thunder's the matter ?
Pm going to get you new trial !"
"But don't want new trial" ex-
claimed the wretch.
"Don't want one! Why notP" re-
turned the other heatedly, frowning
from under his eyeglasses.
"'Cause it's too late" urged the eli
ent. "While you were all out to din
ner the darned sheriff took me out, and
he's whipped the very hide off of me-"
The motion was summarily with
drawn.

How Men Get Ahead.

A son of Maine who went west in early
youth, and has there attained wealth and
an honorable position, returned last summer
to visit his old home. At the village store
he saw an old man whom he had known in
his younger days. He accosted him, but
was not recognized. $50 you don't remem-

"savcd something" Sand they say you're

HE FlRsT FALL oF SNOW

The snow has begun in the gloAming
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With silence deep and white
Every pine, and fir, and hemlock,
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was frnged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new rooted with Carrara
Came Chandeliers mufled crow,
The st.ff rails we're softened to swansdown-
And still fluttorOd down the snow.
| stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work Of the sky.
And the sudden flurries Of snow-birds.
Like brown leaves Whirling by.
l thought OF the mound in sweet Auburn,
Where little headstone stood.
How the flakes we're folding it gently,
As did robins III bales in the wood.

Address of Col, X. N. Todd, of MOrehSuse,
TO the voters OF the twenty
second District

The subject Of greater Importance than any
other that will come before the convention fl
that Of the State debt. My views on this sub
ject are briefly these: The bonded debt of the
State Is about Sl3,O0O,0O0. The taxable prop
erty of the State has been reduced from 5000
100000 to Sl20, 900. The question Is. can
the people OF Louisiana, with their propert y
thus reduced, pay this enormous debt and 7
per cent Interest on the money? 1t is simply
an impossibility. However much the ex-
penses attending the administration Of the
State government may be curtaiIed under the
Observation-Disclosures severe the retrench-
ment IN this respect, we can scarcely nav
these expenses and the interest on this debit
az the rate stipulated even with the present
nigh ana oppressive rate of taxation to which
we are now subjected. How then can we ever
hope to pay both the principal and interest of
tnlS DEBT 1t cannot be DONE The conven-
zion VIII have been called in vain, its labors
Will be futile indeed, IL it can in no way re-
lieve US OF this frightfu burden; and ii we
ana our children after us are to continue to
stagger under its weight, what then is to he
done Is the entire debt to be repudiated
=, 10 this am opposed; but shall advocate
the REJECTION OF every cent of the debt that Is
talLted with fraud and the scaling OF the
balance 10 bring 1t within the resources of the
otdte ana the paying capacity of the people
ana tne interest on this balance should be
reduced to per cent. 1t is needless to discuss
mere the mode Of discovering the fraudulent
part OF the debt with view to it's elirnina-
ton. In my opinion this will prove no diff
cult task, II we revert 80 the long period of
years when our State was in the hands Of the
spoilers and our property was at the mercy Of
the plunderers, when fraud and corruption
held high carnival in our legislative halls, the
only wonder is, not that the fraudulent faint
of the deut contracted during that reign of
infamy and crime might not be discovered,
but that by any devise it could be- hidden.
The greater part OF this post bellum debt will,
in my opinion, be found reeking with fraud
and the people are under no obligation to pay
it, however it may have been manipulated or
funded, or whatever new forms and phases it
may have assumed. These are my views In
brief on some of the important questions that
will come before the convention.
