The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-02-04

We congratulate our country contempora-
ries on the appropriation In the deficiency bill
Of twelve Thousand dollars to pay them the
balance due them for advertising the con-
stitutional amendments. The DEMOCRAT,
early in the session, urged this measure
of justice upon the Legislature, and
soon after the organization Hon. S. Billieu,
of Lafourche, introduced bill to pay this
money, which passed the House without dis
senting vote. In the Senate motion
was made to strike out this item from the
deficiency bill, and on this motion there was a
tie vote. Lieut. Gov. Witt, however, regard
ing the appropriation as one just and proper,
cast the deciding vote against the motion to
strike 1t out of the bill, and hence 1t becomes
law and our country contemporaries will
receive the money justly due them.

Gov. Vance, Of North Carolina, who was
elected to the United States Senate several
days ago, has sent In his resignation as Gov
ernor of the State to the Legislature, to take
effect tomorrow, the fifth instant. Lieut..
Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis will thus become Gov
ernor, to fill the unexpired term ending jan
uary /, 1881. Lieutenant Governors are for
tunate In the Old North State. The office was
created In 1868, and thus far only three per-
sons have been elected to fill the position.
Each In turn have become Governor. In 1870
Lieut.. Gov Caldwell reached the Chief Exec
utiye chair because of the impeachment and
removal 81 Gov. Holden. In 1872, Caldwell
was elected Governor and Brogden Lieut.
enant Governor. The former died In Office In
1874 and was succeeded by Brogden. In
1876 Vance was elected Governor, and now
he has resigned to be succeeded by Lieut.
Gov. Jarvis.

The black plague which the telegraph tells
us prevails In the province OF Ceara, Brazil, Is
nothing but an aggravated form Of small
,pox. The disease there is probably the worst
attack Of this smallpox which has visited this
country since the epidemic that entirely de-
stroyed the aboriginal population OF Hayti
and Cuba. Latest dispatches report that
eighteen hundred persons are dying daily In
Ceara. This, In population Of $4,000, Is a
mortality equaling the worst days Of the yell
low fever epidemic OF 1852. Famine has come
to increase the horrors of the situation. Peo-
pie are dying OF hunger by hundreds. Gases
are even cited where cannibalism is practioed,
and one case where o mother was discovered
eating her own child whom she had broiled
for the occasion.

There is no prospect OF revision OF the
sugar tariff during the present session Of
Congress. The House yesterday refused to
set q day for debate upon the bill recently
perfected In committee Of the whole. and
which has already been fully explained In the
columns Of the DEMOCRAT. 1t is almost GER
tain that the bill cannot be now brought up
before the close OF the session. This may be
regarded as triumph for the Northern re-
fners as against the Louisiana producers. 1t
ID also triumph OF organization over scat
tered opposition. Less talk In New Orleans
and more personal effort at Washington
would probably have led to different result.

The colored politicians OF this State-An-
tome, Brown, Harper, Landry, Hawkins,
Deslonde. ct als.-have written to Senator
Window. of Minnesota, indorsing his bill for
q new State, TO be given up entirely to the
negroes. They have examined, they say. all
the various plans for the amelioration OF the
negro race offered by Republican Senators
and Representatives, and are Of the opinion
that his bill Is decidedly the best. They want
the new State founded at once, 80 that they
can move out there in time for the next cleo
ton, and not be left without an office.

Pennsylvania legislators are rapidly drift
ing into communism. It was Pennsylvania
representative, Hendrick Wright, who offered
bill In Congress the other day giving 100
acres and $500 to each laboring man out OF
employment. and it was Pennsylvania con-
gressmen, mostly, who voted for it. The
Pennsylvania Assembly has now before it an
eight hour labor law, which provides that any
employer who makes his employees labor
more than eight hours for days work shall
be fined $1,000 and imprisoned not less than
three months for the first offense. The pen
alties increase for each subsequent offense
until the criminal, IL he persists In this out
rage, is sentenced to imprisonment for life and
the confiscation of all his property. Some
people may regard this law as rather strin-
gent. They must remember that the labor
vote Of Pennsylvania Is very large, and some
measure like this is necessary to hold the vote
In the iron and coal districts OF the State.

The problem of the suppression Of the noise
made by the New York elevated railroads has
been solved, and the last objection to the new
system of rapid transit removed. To wo-
man, Mrs. Mary E. Walton, belongs the credit
of having accomplished this important work.
Edison and other celebrated inventors were
applied to In vain to deaden the din which
smote upon the ears Of the multitudes living
along the lines of elevated railways, and
which caused the roads to be proceeded
against as public nuisances. They failed In
all the appliances having this for their object.
At last Mrs. Walton offered her invention,
which was rejected without trial. When all
the other patents had been tried In vain, the
com pany had recourse to this discarded III
ventlon OF Mrs. Walton. 1t was found to be
successful In every respect, and a large roy
atty was at once offered for Its use. 1t Is
very simple, consisting in laying the iron
track In boxing filled with sand, cotton and
asphalt. This continuance completely absorbs
the sound, and at once removes the chief OBJ
lection raised against the elevated railroads.

DANIEL WEBSTER.
AN ANECDoTE OF THE GoDLIKE DANIEL AT
BUNKER HILL.

AS boy clinging to my fathers arm,
| stood on Bunker Hill, where stood at
the same time most of Massachusetts-in
fact, most of the American nation, as
reckoned by quality-and listened to
Daniel Webster when the top stone of
the monument was laid. That expert
ence was In the power of a single SEN
tence which probably does not appear IN
MIR. Wehster's published works. The
Grafton had not yet begun, and the vast
crowd, pressing to get nearer to the ora
tor, finally, in their impetuosity, pushed
back the lines of military, and as, in my
vicinity, the guards held their muskets
horizontally pressed against the breasts
of the people, they were swept away by
the crowd, who knocked up their mus
kets, hitting breech and bayonet, right
and left, and pouring forward in such
masses as threatened to trample those in
front to death. In vain the master of
ceremonies entreated them to fall back,
for there was an oceanic swell behind,
that fairly flung those in advance toward
the stand. At last, be begged Mr.. Webs
ter himself TO come forward and plead
with the tumultuous crowd. He arose,
advanced step or two toward us, and
said, Gentlemen, you must fall back"
"Mr. Webster, it is impossible; it is i'm
possible, Mr.. Webster" said thousand
voices at once. Then the Jupiter To
mans burst forth. Raising his arm and
his voice, as his burning eye flashed over
the excited multitude, he exclaimed,
"Gentlemen, nothing is impossible to
Americans on Bunker Hill" A great
shout Numbered through those throng-
ing thousands, and they surged back
like waves from the shore. That was
eloquence; or, rather, to use Websters
own immortal language, it was something
higher and nobler than all eloquence;
action, noble, sublime, godlike action"

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

Many bundled thousand dollars are
annually expended by ladies, for "arti-
fetal appliances to hide the shrunken
and wasted form, or the sallow skin,
blotches, or liver spots, which are due to
female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid liver,
and constipation. If a small per cent. Of
this sum were invested in DIR. Plerce's
Favorite Prescription, ladies would soon
really be what they now seem to be. 1t
really corrects those weaknesses and dis
eases upon which debility and emaciation
depend. 1t cures dyspepsia by toning
up the system, and when used in connec-
ton with DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, speedily overcomes all
irregularities of the liver and bowels. No
''bloom of youth, no 'beautifier of the
complexion, can impart such permanent
beauty of face and form as DR.. Pierce's
health-giving Favorite Prescription.
