BY Singleton to provide for the protection
Of senders of Geographic communications
against unreasonable seizure and search, or
from the production of their messages as
evidence in judicial and legislative proceed
ings to the same extent as mailed cOmmuni
cations.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. Dunn, from
the public lands committee, moved to suspend
the rules and consider the bill relating to the
public lands of the United States. The first
been entered upon and the public price paid
therefor in full, no action, civil or criminal,

tofore paid to the government Oh said lands
shall be taken as part payment of said price,

Section third provides that the price of

prosecuted for or proceeded against on account
ct any trespass committed or material taken

act shall be entitled to the benefits thereof
The bill was defeated.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Mr. Garfield
criticised severely the purpose OF the Demo
cratic party to refuse to appropriate fol
special deputy marshals, but appeared in con.
clusion to think the Democrats aimed to pre-.
vent the disasters which their party leaders
were bringing upon the country, and expressed
his belief that such a vote would be had or
this bill as would set at rest the poor dogs Of
the extra session. -..
The discussion was continued by Burrows
who declared his conviction that the purpose
of the Democratic party was to steal the next
Presidency.
To which Springer retorted by charging the
Republican party with stealing two or three
States in the last Presidential election.
MIR. McMahan replied to Garfield and Bur
rows, and then Warner took the floor. A
the conclusion of his speech the general de
: bate closed, and the bill was read by sections

1t is we'll known that consider.

this congress district, in regard
to some certain resolutions mass.

Mr.. Acklen after trying to Get

has taken exception to their &C.
ton in nominating o candidate
for his successor and has been
moving around of late quite rap
idly to raise commotion in the
ranks Of the Democratic Party.
The nature of the charges above
mentioned were such that time
was required to make a complete
reputation.
Mr. Billieu promptly denied
the charges against him, and

On next Saturday they will ap.

come to our office too late tor pub

force that we have in our Office.
The statements of Messrs. Voor

read, are plain and thoroughly

The venom of Acklen's actious

INN no good. The publication of

place after the meeting had adj

the mans character.

are here, we need not hope for
anything better, therefore. the
sooner they go, the better for our
State.
That they are all determined
to go, cannot be doubted. Only
the want of means retains them.
AS soon as they are gone, and
proper arrangements are made
fer a ''tenant or farming system"
the teeming millions Of Europe
will flock to our shores. We shall
have capital in abundance.
Let not our planters believe,
that they can tie down European
immigration to a condition analO
gous to that of the negro laborer.
In a Republican country every
one should cultivate his own crop.
The producer should be, and be
treated as. an equal. And vet our
planters will no doubt be the
greatest beneficiaries from such a
change. Less risk, less outlay, a
larger and surer profit will be the
consequence.
Louisiana can comfortably sup
port at least five millions of pros
porous and happy people.
With the next national admin
istratiOn our chances for assis-
lance in internal improvements
will undoubtedly be much i'm
proved.
Assistance may also be secured
to speed OH our colored laborers

own deStinies.
With such brigh: prospects be

The change before us is sure to
come. 1t may cause temporary
losses and troubles, but the final
victory, through which Louisiana
will at last take her place in the
bright galaxy of prosperous and
progressive States, is certain.

There was a conference yester-
day between the Acting Cover
nor and the Board of State Engi.
neers respecting the finances of
the board. Nothing of any inn
portance was transacted, the
board merely examining papers
and considering bills.
1t Is learned that the Sharpe
crevasse has cost the State up
wards of $4,000, apart from the
expenditures made by the Nor
gan road, for which indemnity
will be demanded of the Legisla
ture. This will run the total
cost up to about $4,000.

peculiar expression of Joy that

He walked erect and proud. In
his hand was a faxen cord. He
was thinking Of his early days

Those who had the good for
tune to attend the commencement
exercises of this aourishing little
school, which took place on Tues.
day evening last, speak of the
same in the highest terms of com
nendation.
The pupils, as usual, distin-
guished themselves and the ar
tistic manner in which they rem
dered the two plays of the occa.
sion, is worthy of mention. To
single out the excellence of any
one, would be invidious.
The salntatory and valedictory
addresses delivered by the Misses
Elda Brokhoft and Lucy Hogan,
were very creditable to these
young girls.
The College Band was on hand
aud served to enliven the occa
sion by discourslng it's proverbial
good music, at interludes.
The exercises were terminated
by kind and encouraging words
to the children by Very Rev.
Father M6nard, who distributed
the prizes.
The Misses OdiDe and Emellna
Naquin the worthy ana indefati>
gable teachers Of this favorlte
little school, are too we'll and IA
vorably known, and are too high
ly appreciated by this community
to require any encOmium at our

they will iu the future continue
to receive that encouragement
which has been SO generously ex
tended them in the past. That
they-are justly entitled to the
