Louis Philippe.

| Fondness for money was The chief bio
on Louis PbiIippe's character, and i
made him th" theme of thousand satires
After he bad become King of the French

Louis nhilirPe's fonrth son, the present

But if Louis Philippe like money BET

an unprincey and admirable respect for
those home'y virtues which are more i'm
portant than thrones. Fl, set good ex-
ample to the whole Of France as hus
band and a father. And his very thoughts
had their political uses, for although his
loyalty could be sycophantic at court, he
happily found it easy to display robust
ingratituae at the call of political duty.
AS his personal interests were 10 the same
line as those of France, he was fortunate
ly able to show that By forgetting the
kindness of the King and listening to the
voice Of sheer selhshness, he could display
the highest patriotism.
A very clever, well-read, travelled man,
student of political history, skeptical
rather than devout, fon! Of intellectual
society, and skiIl4d in discussion, he had
naturally contempt for the bigotry, he
ignorance, and the political blindness Of
the court. Bluff AMI hearty, and vet
in manner, he had always the
air of a person who wants to sell some.
thing. He looked, in fact, like a prince
ly, bat advertising commission agent,
eager to dispose Of a large stock Of ma.
tional happiness, and not unwilling to
accept the usual per centage on the sale.
He bad admirable sons to offer to such
great Priucesses as were in need of hus-
bands.
He was mortified because one of them,
The Due de Nemours, did not get chance
of marrying our own Queen; and heian
lied that hs had put another of them, the
Due de Mon'pensier, on the steps of the
Spanish throne by thu: grimiest of all
political ntrignes which goes by the
name Of the Spanish marriages. Nor die
le forget that his father, and even he
himself, had once been Democratic chiefs,
or once he sent his sons to the public
chools Of Paris. and even after he had
become ruler of France he was 50 unosten

OFFICIAL JOURNAL Of the Parish Of LAFAYETTE
and Of The Town Of TERMILI0NTILLE,

The "exodusters" are at work in the
seahoard States, it seems. Five of theiI
victims arrived in Washington last satur
day, from North Carolina, penn|ess as a
matter of course, and were furnished with
railroad transportation to the West Some
OF the Western papers are beginning to
have proper appreciation Of the exodus
mania among the Southern negroes.
They now seem to have had their eyes
opened to the evil effects of general in.
tiux of negroes into their country, and are
even resorting to threats to avert it. Hear
the Chicago Times On this subj act:
II this sort Of thing is to 60 on-and all
the indications are that there will be a
great deal of it after the crops in the
Southern States are gathered 1T need not
surprise the colored brethren and their
malignant advisers If some Denis Kearnev
arises, with ample support, to proclaim,
not that the blacks must go, but that they
shall not come into the Western States.
The proportions that the negro migration
is likely to assume may make their vista
ton a curse beside which grasshoppers
and the Chinese will sink into utter in
significance There is no portion of the
West that needs an addition of tens of
thousands of negroes to its population,
and none in which they can live to which
such AZ addition would not be an intoler
able calamity. The drain of population
from the Eastern States, and especially
from New England, to the West is SO
large that there must be some inconyen-
fence in those regions from the depletion
OF their population. If the blacks move
from their Southern homes at all, they
should be directed to the Northern sea
board States, were work may be found for
them in the places left vacant by the an.
nna Westward movement Of young men.
All the vacant fslds of industry in the
West are wanted for this more desirable
and constantly increasing emigration. If
nothing else will keep, back the black
swarm, resort to the "shotgna qnaran
ine' may become advisable.
