be no less popular than In New Orleane he
ID warmly supported In every parish Of the
State, and he must be blind indeed who does
not now see that our Lieutenant Governor
will receive the votes OF q large majority Oh
the country delegates. 1t does not seem pos
sible that so large portion OF the people o.
every portion of Louisiana are 30 stupid as
not to be able to appreciate the man they ore
proposing to nominate for Governor, iind that
only the Times and Picdyuae, and the little
COMMITTEES at the corner Of Canal and Bourbon
streets, have been able to discover this fearful
ring, whose head rises high In the air, whose
arms reach throughout the city, whose eaudal
extremity sweeps the remotest suns OF tho
town, and which threatens to destroy our llb-
critics and swallow all the offices, leaving none
for the committee Of tho Ogden boom. Iris

which untes the hearts of oil classes OF
the people of the State In his advocacy; It

cents. Of which the total issues amount to

1t ~ deeply to Be regretted that any consid-
cradle number of the creditors Of Louisiana
have determined to engage In hopeless con-
test; contest which Will simply cost them
large sums Of money for lawyers fees ana
injure the State, by representing IL as seeking
to avoid its obligations.
We have 50 often gone over the argument
showing that the Federal court cannot enter
tain any such suit as that the discontented
bondholders propose to institute, that it Ia
needless to reproduce 1t now. i they are de
termined to sue nothing the press can Gay will
turn them from their purpose. Ii capital is
tlmid It is also often stupidity rapacious, end
in It's unreasoning pursuit of fraudulent
claims and exorbitant usury 1t not infrequent-
ly becomes itself the prey OF shrewd attor-
neys We fear therefore that we must leave
the New York bondbolders and their attor-
neys to fix UP their losing law suit their own
way.
But we have word in this connection to
address to our people. Thousands Of good
men who will vote for the debt ordinance as q
fair and equitable settlement with the public
creditors, finding these last determined to
ignore that settlement, and enforce, ii pos
sible, the 51a mills interest tax and tbs per
cent interest, may vote against the ordinance
with view 81 repudiating the whole debt; for
the defeat OF the ordinance will amount prac-
tically to Reputation.
Against any such step we earnestly advise
the people of this State. Ii the debt 10 to be
repudiated. or Ii the creditors Of the State
are to lose any Of the rights accorded them
by that ordinance, lot the responsibility rest
upon their own shoulders and let us be pre-
pared to show to the world that their
rapacity, and not our dishonesty, was to
blame.
We regret to SOC the bondholders proposing
to resort to the courts They cannot accom-
plish their end unless they can succeed,
though the Federal Courts and other depart
ments of the government. IL overthrowing the
constitution and revoiutlonlzing our theory OF
government. Such scheme will raise up
spirit Of opposition to them, which will sooner
or later prejudice the people against their
class and bring the most tremendous disasters
upon them and the country.
The settlement offered by Louisiana 1s Juat
and fair, and we trust our people will rattfy 1t
by an overwhelming vote, and that the public
creditors will, on second thought, conclude TO
accept 1t. =-..=

They have the "counting-out' nightmare
In Maine very bad. Rumor has 1t that the
present Governor and council OF that State,
who are Democrats. will act as returning
board and throw out enough returns OF the
votes for Senators to give the Democrats
and Greenbackers control Of the Senate Il
would require but little manipulation OF the
ballots to do this, as the vote on Senators Is
very close. There ID not, however, the slight

A letter to the New York Herald gives
most doleful account of the condition OF those
persons who emigrated to Brazil from some
OF the Southern States Immediately after the
war. They settled at Sautarem. on the ANA
zon, about 600 miles from the sea. The origi-
nal number Of settlers was 30, but many
soon became tired Of the life they led in Brazil
and returned to the United States. A few
years ago attention was called to the condi-
ton OF those who remained behind and a sug-
0estion was made that they should be brought
home by the Federal government. For some
cause or other this plan fell through, and
there are still forty-two OF the original
Southerners, with fourteen children left 10
Brazil. They are represented as being In
great want and without the proper food and
clothing, and far worse off than the poorest
laborers In the United States.

The proposed abolition Of slavery In Cuba
is becoming o serious matter In that island.
A number Of members of the Spanish Cortes
have lately offered bills in that body looking
to the emancipation of the slaves in Cuba,
without compromising their owners for them.
number of Cuban planters see the storm
ahead, and are endeavoring to find some way
of avoiding it. The best plan yet suggested
is that already put In practice by q number
Of leading slave owners. This Is for the
planters themselves to emancipate the slaves
In return for q certain term Of service, gener-
ally fixed at five or seven years. The slave
becomes free at once, but Is bound to labor
for his master for this period or become re-
sponsible under breach Of contract. AS
usual, the planter finds that the free negro is
more efficient lahorer than the slave.

DEBTS OF NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
STATES,

The Democrats at the North, especially In
Ohio have turned the tables on the Radical
lenouncers Of the South for their alleged re-
pudiatlon OF debts. They show that In Kan.
sas and Illinois the counties and cities
have repudiated more than thirteen millions
OF their debts, and that Minnesota. after get
ting her railroads built with Eastern capital,
has left the holders Of her bonds In the lurch,
refusing to pay Interest Or capital, or even to
scale her Indebtedness. These are Republican
States and communities.
All the Radical orators. however, persist in
dwelling on the enorlnity of the Southern
States in their inability to pay debts heaped
on them by the carpet bag dynasties which
their party forced upon the people OF the
South, regardless OF the exhaustion and de-
vastation to which they had been subjeeted.
But their own States, which hive been
enormously enriched by the very war which
exhausted and impoverished the South, are
regarded with indulgence and even admfra-
ton for their smartnass In refusing to pay
tho capitalists who have enabled them to
build up States and cities with such amazing
rapiditY Here our debt is q badge Of political
servitude, ono OF the results of an Infamous
uSuT pHbiOu itHu OppIcEslUu. AH5ie Ills Dtiich-
cial effects OF the capital represented by the
bonds OF Northern communities are shown In
the vast increase Of the wealth and develop
ment of their country, In the building UP Of
townp aud in the construction Of great public
works, which have given great impulse to In
dustry and production.
The debts Of the South are only the remin-
der of The plumber and oppression which re-
duced our country to a lower depth of power
ty, misery and degradation beyond that
lowest" In which 1t was left after devastat-
ing war.
Carpet-beggery left US nothing to remem-
Der 1t by but devastation and debt. Like At
tla's horse, the grass ceased to grow under
It's feet. It has borne away as It's spoils all
that remained to us after the war.
The national character Is stained and
blurred by taunts of political malignants,
hurled at the South for their inability to pay
debts imposed on them by these spoilers aud
oppressors. Notrue- minded American would
Indulge In such taunts.
Radicalism. it would seem, has perverted
the characteristics OF our race, and OF all
manly races. It has been the chief robber
who has stripped US OF every thing, and now
insults and reviles us in our poverty and ma
kedness.

Several years ago company was formed III
New York with ample capital to tunnel the
Hudson river from New York to Jefsey City.
Work was begun, but the company got into
litigation, which soon put stop to Its further
prosecution. Recently the courts have taken
favorable action, and the company Is about
to resume work where It left off. The tunnel
will be $4,000 feet long, 26 feet wide, "a feet
hlch and 60 feet beneath tue bed OF the river.
It will be laid with heavy steel rails, bal
lasted with broken stone and supplied with
cas- pipes, pneumatic tubes, water pipes and
tslegraph wires. 1t is estimated that the
tunnel can be completed within two years.
II will enable four hundred trains to enter New
York every twanty-four hours.

with the disbursements, that they were all

OF their falsity to convince the country that
