a thrill OF anguish all over the State when 1t

proper order of things Ia Louisiana would be
to have the entire population on a strain to

however, tho world will not shape itself to
suit the Times, and hence these tears.
Now, 1t Is hardly necessary to enter Into
Explanations for tho purp ose OF answering the
Times. Our people know pretty generally
that the Times was always the champion OF

payers; that 1t stood out to the bitter end for
the last cent nominated In the bond, or. In de-
fault OF that, clamored for the pound of flesh.
They will, therefore. readily discern the ami
mus OF the above quoted paragraph that
animus being to convey the false insinuation
that the people have acted In bad faith, re-
fusing to ratify their own solemn obligations,
aud withholding that which they are really
able to pay. They will probably console
themselves. however, with the reflection that
they, at least, know the contrary; and 1t may
assist them largely In their struggle for COM
posure to observe that the only illustration
the Times can find for its charges ID the fact
that the brokers and spectators are lett with

rior Department, which has recently busted
itself to d remarkable extent over the Meeker

missioner Hayts failure to perform his duty,

ployed In the manufacture OF very numer-

press the hope that the Legislative depart
ment will employ its authority and iutllence
In behalf Of the laboriDg classes" In his
own language, "Workingmen are the wealth
aud strength of the STATE" and ut Is the
highest heneficence of government to secure
to laborers the possession and enjoynent OF

GEN. FITZ JOHN PORTER.

A telegram from Washington announces
that the House Committee on Military Affairs
has reported bill restoring Gen. Fitz John
Porter to tue rank of colonel, which was held
by him In the regular army at the time OF his
arbitrary dismissal from the service, aud
allowing him the sum or $4,000. Thus one
by one the wrongs engendered by the animos-
tiles and jealousies Of the war are being
righted. The case of Gen. Porter has been so
frequently alluded to In the press during the
last fifteen years that the public is, doubtless,
familiar with its details. Aside from the
alleged display of jealousy on the part of GER
tain military officers whose chances OF promo
ton were more or less affected by Gen. Por-
ter's downfall, there Is every reason to be-
leve that political considerations entered very
largely into the matter when the degraded
officer, year after year, eought an opportHni-
ty to clear his character OF the stain
placed upon 1t by a biased military
tribunal. Unfortunately for Gen. Porter,
he was an avowed Democrat at the period
when the act of Injustice was perpetrated,
and, as.might have been expected, his appeal
for rehearing OF his case when laid before
successive Republican administrations, IL not
treated with positive contempt, was very po-
litely pigeon-holed. In this manner while
other and less deserving cases were taken up
and promptly investigated by authority OF
the several administrations the application
OF Gen. Porter was ignored until feeling OF
Indignation throughout the country finally
compelled President Hayes to grant the
long-delayed hearing. AS to the result of the
Investigation that folio we'd, the public Is.
doubtless, well informed. It was clearly
shown to the satisfaction Of board OF dis.

good address, filed with many plainly spoken
truths, which hit the mark We judge, but yet
he was not rough, only plain, blunt man"

BY placing the responsibility Of this great curse
at the present day right at the door OF the
Church, which had it, he believed, in their
power to wipe out intemperance by the ballot !;
but fear Of injury to their business, to their
money speculations, made them weak -kneed
and they would not for this reason espouse

Although it is now apparent that the repub

write this because there seems 10 all think
ing men some danger in the too early forcing
OF Presidential candidates into the field. Our
accounts from Pennsylvania and New York do
not encourage confidence In good feeling.
From some parts OF the former State we learn
of very bitter strife between the friends OF
General Grant and other candidates, because
OF the early calling OF the State Convention
to send delegates to Chicago. 1t would be bet
ter to postpone the controversies as late as
possible, than to injure our cause by too
gseat haste. This ia the feeling OF all Repub-
lieans who have the good Of the party at
heart, rather than anybodys BOOM
The failure of the latest Democratic blunder
the conspiracy in Maine, has greatly disheart-
ened the Bourbons, who really had hopes Of
stealing the elec,oral votes Of that good
Republican State. They threaten to have
their managers in that State appeal to Con-
gress for redress, and that Is what we are hop
ing for. What a good opportunity that would
give Senator Blaine, and Mr.. Frye to expose
the atroclous infamy OF that plot to subvert
popular government. 1t would furnish us
some good campaign literature for the ensuing
campaign Senator Blame is expected here
this week, apd will be ready TO meet anything
OF that sort with the ability and adroitness he
has exhibited In tbs management Of the case

When George f. Hitchcock, the Court Ste
nographer, removed from this Judicial Circuit
and took up his abode elsewhere, did not bis
office as such stenogrspher become vacant :
And by such vacancy did he not cease to be an
officer OF court IN this circuit?
We hold that he not only vacated his Office
but tina. his acts subsequent thereto are OF NO
binding force, except by stipulation between
parties to suit IN which he takes down the
Testimony.
Yet Hitchcock seeks to hold the County 70
sponslbls, and would have it appear that it can
not terminate any contract heretofore made
between 1T and himself although he may ter
inmate such arrangement at any time. BY his

services, and the taxpayers will sustain the
