HOl FOR THE RACES.

With to-day closes the first spring meeting
Of the New Louisiana Jockey Club The new

twenty years past. II is gratifying to know that
80 far the meeting has been perfect success
and will return to the club a handsome profit.

lev. De In Matyr, the Green
hacker Congressman from Indiana,
has started on trip South to make
converts to the Grccnback creed.
His plan is to visit the Legislatures
OF the different Southern States, and,
where he can, make speeches, and
thus arouse an interest in his cause
in order to give life to the Green
back. party in.1SS0.
We would say to the people Of the
South, whatever may be the merits of
the Grecnback doctrine, that the
Democracy cannot afford to be di-
vided now by any distracting ele-
ment.
Our only hope in 1880 lies in n
united Democracy, and if Mr.. De
La Matyr gets any accessions to his
cause from the South:, lie weakens u
hopes Of victory.
Let him pass by for the season,
and come back at time When there
is not : O much at stake.

nc equally Is strictly law? Then all
WHO have protection would pay the
guard. We think it n serious ques-
tion whether Council has aicynl right
to tax real estate only.
If the taxes were levied upon real
and personal property the valuation
would be nearly if not quite doubled,
and the rate Of taxation could be re-
duccd and more money collected.
Our town has generally been in pre-
dicamcpt with the Fire Department.
When machinery &c. were tolerably
good, The complaint was no water;
now we have q very good supply of
water, and the complaints are no
machinery, no men. 1t appears to us
that the appropriation for water sup
ply should be one thing, and appro-
priations for repairs of the machinery
of the Department another. So shat
one Department item will not swallow
w the Department appropriations.
A sum Of not less than six hundred
dollars should be appropriated an
nually, say rs follows: For repairs
and Improvements OH engines one
hundred dollars each, truck fifty dol
lars, which would leave a balance of
$3.50 to construct fire wells &c. The
appropriations made for repairs aud

ines to be drawn nd paid ON order Of
Board of Firenasters This may not
he necessary every year, and if not
drawn, it remains in the Urea sury to
the credit OF this particular object Of
appropriation. This it appears to us
would be just and proper. The Board
Of Fircmasters are supposed to know
the necessities of the Department and
to be competent to suggest repairs
ard improv ements, andathe appro-
priations will i'll this way make the
Fire Department what it should be
efficient, and an honor to the c,m-
mu''ity. As long as the Department is
subject to government by Council
(and this is as it should bc)..it should
be supported and protected by the
public, and the only way this can be
done is by taxation.

is so good and kind to me, and more at
tentive than when he was my sweetheart
before we, were married. And he is
working SO hard, and everybody up in

And every night, when we have said our
prayers together, George pulls out of
his bosom that dear treasure of the
necklace and cross, and we kiss it to-
gether, and ask baby to beg the Savior
to give poor papa heart and strength for
his new life. You can't tell bow happy
