The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican thinks ''It may be
that the country is destined to suffer from
another four years of political feuds and sec
tional animosities. But unless there comes
soon an improved state of political feeling
and more statesmanlike legislation, and un-
less these ameliorations come through a more
reasonable disposition on the part of Demo
Gratis, the Democratic party will sink to rise
no more" Correct. And unless this Dem
ocratic congress adjourns very soon, all the
unlesses that were ever said will not save
the party.

THE PRESS.
SATURDAY, MORNING, MAY "a.
The Ohio Campaign.

1t seems to be generally conceded that t
Ohio will be the battle-ground this year.
Indications are strong that the Democrats
and those of the Greenbackers who have in
mind only the currency issue, will unite, and
nominate for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. Bishop and Ewing. Bishop will
hold the Democrats and Ewing draw the
Greenbackers. The Republicans will prob
ably nominate Judge Taft, now that Sher-
man and Garfield are out of the field, and
Foster for Lieutenant Governor 1t may be
the Nationals will nominate man in order
to hold those of their people who cannot be
coaxed or driven into voting a Democratic
ticket.
The result of the election will be of great
interest in indicating the drift of public SEN
by Congress and its disapproval by the
President. The battle in Ohio will not be
fought upon the currency question alone
The Democratic Congressional majority
have brought the old political dogma of
State Rights into the contest. A resolution
approving the action OF Congress will doubt
less be put into the Democratic platform,
and the run will be made upon that. 1t re-
mains to be seen how many of the Nationals
will vote for men committed to the detesta-
BILE and dangerous heresy of Calhounism,
and thus commit themselves against the
doctrine of the eminent sovereignty of the
Nation. 1t is not to be readily believed that
many of those who left the Republican par
ty because they differed with it in regard to
the currency will accept Calhounism or join
in the attempt made on the purity of the
ballot-box. The few who regard the Green
back party as halfway house to the Dem
ocracy will doubtless pursue their way, but
there is reason to believe the majority will
retrace their steps now they see the direc
ton in which they are tending.

THE New Orleans Times appeals to Con-
gress to relieve that city from the quarantine
restrictions which the New Orleans Board
OF Health has imposed upon it. In conse-
quence of the delays and restrictions which
these laws entail, the steamship line to
Vera Cruz has been withdrawn, and a valu-
able and growing traffic lost to New Orleans.
Their sugar trade with Cuba has been di-
verted to other ports; several European lines
have been driven off, and the coffee bust
ness with Rio Janeiro is about to be discon-
tinued. 'Unless," says the Times, "some
check is put upon the violent and arbitrary
tendencies OF the Board of III ealth, New
Orleans will in very short time be fit for
nothing but pasture land, and might as well
be abandoned to that use." As the State
government is submissive to the board,
Congress is petitioned to pass an act to re-
strain it within ''limits of common sense
and commercial economy"

Easter Sports.

Easter sports are not so popular now
as they were when VT were boy, We
remember when it was impossible for
any one TO pass down st. Denis or Second
on account Of the large crowds that con-
gregated on those streets testing the
strength Of colored eggs. pitching quoits
wrestling. etc. Last Sunday, we do not
think that there could have been over
fifty persons Ohio indnlged in breaking
eggs, and as for the other sports they are
lost.
There is a settlement in this parish,
about eighteen miles from the city,
known as Spanish Town." whose set
tiers in the old days were spaniards and
Mexicans, they kept mp the Easter sports
until the war. They had a society who
styled themselves as the "Wolf Repell-
ers.' The members all wore masks, and
Creased in CANDY costumes. ADy mem
Der Of the church who failed to attend
mass regularly was booked by the secre-
tary Of this society and on Easter Sun
day they would administer to that estray
member Of the flock sound thrashing.
Spaniartls md Mexicans were known to
travel hundred miles to attend. the
festivities Of Easter at this place. The
men formed procession and paraded
around the church, in the meantime the
women would hurdle together, knowing
that the men would break ranks and
attack them for . kiss, which they
claimed the right to, aud in case of 10.
fusal the lady had to pay . fine. Ugly
maids and widows stood poor show for
q kiss, and in consequence of which . big
"row" would take place between the
feminine sex, creating lots Of mer-
riment for tho visiting sports.
Tents were numerous around tho
church, eating chops, dance houses, and
gambling carried on to . great extent.
Messrs. Fred Hubley and Sam Parson,
who are yet living and residents Of this
city, dealt, for a number Of years, 1t
this place, the Mexican's favorite game
known "a "MOnte." 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Mexican get 40 infatu ated
while betting at this game that he will
stake everything he has on it. All
Of these Easter sports also have Lost their
popularity out in that settlement.
