THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER q 1879

His pal, the Rev. Z. M. Goodnight, was q
cheerful c,lsg with turn for fasting aud

Of tho congregation sat around and put
dirt In their hair and ehewed snuff. This
lovely team, as we have already described
broke into Corsicana about six weeks ago aud
proceeded To give the folks u layout. They
built a sort Of styo buck Of town, and Haynes
began to below and Goodnight to squlrm

An eyewitness to Wicklitre's pentence at
Dalton Iii 1873, informs us that the ex-Audi-
tors explanation of having unintentionally
Injured his dear friend Strauss" was this:
WicklifTe said he sold the forged warrants to
Strauss, thinking Strauss would sell them TO
another party and that other party would
sell them 10 Warmoth, and that was the
party he was after. 1t wasn't 80 much the
SOC, 900 he was making out Of the transaction
that he cared for. rs 1t WAS the gleoful antici-
patton of getting even, rs 1t were, with IN
enemy.
It seems Hike we have heard similar story
before,

1t is freely admitted that the city admins
tration has done all Ia Its power to conduct
an economical and efficient government, con
sistent with the laws which make the largest
amount Of the city expenditures imperative,
hence the citizsns OF New Orleans must look
to the Legislature for an intelligent solution
of our city affairs. It appears to US that the
Council must comply with the requirements
OF existing laws. and be prepared to submit
to the next Legislature full and compre-
hensive statement Of revenues, expenditures,
and information touching the several depart
ments. Our citizens will best consult their
Interests by arousing themselves to the ne
cessity Of selecting our ablest and purest
men for the legislative duties the perform
ance of which 50 nearly concerns all classes
of mr. naonia

The DEMOCRAT acknowledges u call from
Gov. II. q. Wicklifie, Of West Feliciana, who
Ia en- route for his home after q delightful sum
mer trip to the Blue Grass regions Of Old
Kentucky. The Governor returns full OF hope
for Louisiana, and after arranging his pro-
fessional matters at Bayou Sara will plunge
into the campaign with all Of his well known
ardor. He Ia a forcible speaker, thoroughly
conversant with Louisiana's woes and needs,
and enthusiastically In favor Of the adoption
OF the constitution. The Democracy of Lou

The French government will, after awhile,
learn the lesson that political persecution
makes a martyr and a hero Of the victim.
Take the case OF Humbert, for instance. he
was recently ampested and returned to
France with batch Of other political prison
ers. Some violent utterances brought upon
him the censure OF the government, where
upon he was elected to the municipality OF
Paris. The government interviewed and set
aside the election. Humbert is at once offered
the candidacy for vacant seat 10 the Cham
her Of Deputies from the reimbursement q
elected, and the government may thank itsef

A report has been circulated recently In the
Republican papers that the Democrats had
lost the Third Congressional District Of Cali
fornia, and consequently would not have II
member from that State In the present Con-
gress. The official returns, just ut hand,
show the falslty of this claim. Berry, the
Democratic candidate, gets a plurality Of 189
over the Republican candidate, and a clear
majority over both the Republican and Work
ingmens candidates of 68.
