THE ADVOCATE G1NGLEs.

| tn support Of his opposition to
1.-The proposed levy Of two-and-a-hali
mills by the City Council, to make
up for The deficiency caused by the
appropriation Of ~, Ala TO meet pay-
nents on the bonds issued for the res
to,atiou of the Capitol and also tho
decrease Of $4,000 in the receiptsfrom
licences; the Advocate has received
the powerful MD of q correspondent
who styles himself "Wash Ging|es.'
The Advocates correspondent, IN
rural vernacnlar, tries very hard to
be sardonic, by expressing his will
lingness to be taxed u little more
through the fundamentally Of his
Democratic friends. "Gingles" points
out wherein those friends are worse
than Radicals, when they increase
taxation; but like his file leader of
the Advocate, TIC slrcwdly fails to
credit tho Democrats Will, having res
tored the Capital to Baton Rouge and
with reducing tho license tax of tho
mercantile community some $4,000.
He does not refer to the fact that the
two-and-a-half mill tax will realize
but $2,5W rs against the $8,4l4
which arc taken away from the city
treasury by tho Capitol Bonds and
the reduction of the liceuscs.
"GingIes' is one Of those rcformcrs
who goes in for all kinds of improve
ments, while nobody pays anything
to have them. If he could only show
the dear people how that result can
DO reached, he could then start q par
ty that everybody would join at
once.
The doctor who blames another
because he does not cure u patient,
should ut least prescribe the rene
dies that will effect that desirable
end. .".
The public would like to sec the
Advocate and his caustic correspon-
dent do some prescribing. They've
blamed the Democratic doctors; now
these two Reform Physicians are in
order with their rcmcdics.
Come along, oh yc patriots and
Gnauciers! else the good people will
pronounce you u brace Of humbugs
OF the first water.

OHIO EMIGRANTS,

The Ohio State Journal declares
that not less than ten thousand young
Ohio farmers arc anxious to seek
homes in other States, and "if they
can be assured Of welcome and pro-
per treatment in the South, and enjoy
The political rights and social privi-
leges of the natives, the tide of emf
grafton will be turned in that Hrec-
ton" . ..... a. ....
If tho young farmers alluded to
will come and SEQ for themselves,
instead believing the ISLANDERS of
of the Republican journals, they will
soon discover that a hearty welcome
awaits them at the South. Onr pco-
pie don't care what their politics may
be. To be industrious in aiding to
develop the wonderful resources of
Louisiana, is the only qualification
that is wanted in new corners.

Boston brides are said by q Philadol-
phia paper to chatter in bad French
at the hotel tables when on their wedd-
ing tour. This is indeed good news.
Any scheme that will result in making
a bride use some language not gener-
ally understood ought to be cncoura-
ged. When the average citizen is
obliged to sit calmly by and hear such
remarksas "Please pass me the buttah,
dahling," and ''Now, lovey, you're
awfully mean if you don't let me have
q bite Of your biscuit" he feels q wild
springing impulse to hit somebody
with club, and the man in the next
scat would cheerfully furnish the club.

seem as if the older common law, which vas
enacted to repress, and, if possible, prevent
crime, had given way to series OF Statutes
devised by negligent and uns scrupuloas lekis

criminals in the free enjoyment of their pet,
