Woman.

We look To the trees for strength, but turn
to the dropping flowers for grace and beauty.
Some inspired authority on the subject Of
woman, says: Place her among the flowers,
foster her rs plant, and she is a thing Of
fancy and ywardness-annoyed by dew
drop, fretted by the touch of butterfy's
wing. ready to faint at the sound of beetle
or the rafting of window pane at night,
and overpowered by the perfume of the rose
bud. But let real calamity come; rouse her
affections; enkindle the fires of her heart,
and mark her thenl How strong is her heart.
Place her in the heat of battle; give her a
child, bird, or anything to protect, and see
her, in a relative instance, lifting her white
arms as a shield, as her own blood crimsons
her upturned forehead, praying for her life
to protect the helpless. Transplant her in
the dark places of the earth; call forth her
energies to action. and her breath becomes a
healing; her presence blessing. She dis
putes inch by inch the strides of a striking
pestilence, where man, the strong and brave,
pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfor
tune haunts her not. She wears away life
of silent endurance, and goes forward with
less timidity than to her bridal. In prosperity
she is a bud full of odors, waiting but for the
winds of adversely to scatter them abroad,
pure gold, but untried in the furnace. In
short, woman is miracle, mystery, the
center from which radiates the charm of ex-
istence.

rnE rorDRAs FUND

10 tie Sugar Planter: What is the
Poydras Fund And what are the
conditions of its distribution Rising
Sun Indy Recorder.
The Poydras Fund is a donation of
thirty thousand dollars made to this
parish some fifty years ago by a phiIan-
thropic old gentleman named Julien
Poydras. According to the will of Mr..
Poydras, the money was invested in
first mortgage upon real estate, and
the interest derived therefroin is
divided among the INDECENT girls of
the parish who may marry during
each year. Previous to the outbreak
Of the war, the interest annually divided
among girls of that class was about
twenty five hundred dollars, and was
intended as marriage dowries to begin
house keeping with. At the close of
the war, the fund was largely decreased
by loss In value of lands upon which
mortgage had been taken, and it will
be years before the original sum of
thirty thousand dollars is restored,
when divisions of interest will again
commence. This is the gist and sub
stance of it.-iSslgQr Planter.

North Mr.. Bayard has a powerful aud
Influential following. He is the re-
preventative of the hard money Sec
ton, as contra-distinguished from the
soft money section of the Democratic
party. 1t is said that, when in Rich
mond last week, he refused to visit the
Legislature of the mother of States aud
statesmen, on the ground the read
justment of their public debt smacked
of reputation that he could not con-
done. We have seen no contradiction
of the statement, but we think there
must be some mistake In it.
There is an extreme hard money Sec
tion as we'll as an extreme soft-money
section of the Democratic party and
there are some of the former section
who would rather be defeated with
Mr.. Bayard than win with less pro-
nounced advocate of their views.
We want success in the Presidential
campaign; for we firmly believe that,
under the conservative rule of Demo.
cratic administration, will the bitter
feelings of the war most speedily pass
away.-N O. Picayune.

TlLDEN ON THE TRACK.

CINcINNATI, March 1.-The Ell
quirer's special correspondent says:
Yesterdays Post, under the caption of
"Mr. Tildcn a Candidate" printed the
following double-leaded editorial:
cat a meeting of the prominent
friends of Mr.. Tilden, which was held
in New York last Saturday, the declar-
alton was made by that gentleman that
he would, without doubt, be candi-
date for the Democratic nomination.
During the last six months reports
have reached us from time to time,
and from most authentic sources, that
Mr.. Tilden contemplated q voluntary
but decided remuneration of such hon.
ors; but we have no reason to doubt
that, whatever may have been his in
tcntions or purposes, he is now firmly
resolved to ask for denomination.
1t was due to his friends, who might
desire to attach themselves to other
candidates in the event of his with
drawal from the race, that he should
come to an immediate and positive de-
cisiOn, and this, we are informed on
unquestionable authority, he has DONE
Mr.. Tililen is credited with the possess
sion of great political sagacity and al
most unbounded influence in his party,
but we have no reason to doubt, aud,
on the contrary, every reason to be-
lieve, that unless he can convince the
Cincinnati Convention that he can car
ry the State of New York, he can never
obtain the nomination. He may be
ablc-as the New York Sun, which
appears to be his veracious Inouth-piece,
asserts-to defeat any Democrat nomi-
mated over him or against his wishes;
but even in the jaws OF such a contin-
gcncy it is not possible that n conven-
ton of sensible men will meet and
nominate man confessedly foredoom-
etl to defeat. 1t will be of the highest
importance, therefore, for him to i'm
mediately put ut work the agencies
which will bring about a consolidated
Democracy in the city and State Of
New York."

in New York city, the mention of his
name called forth loud applause. He
could unite Tilden and Kelly-anti-

has host of friends there, as he has
in New York. Is 1t not apparent that
the nomination of Hancock will meet
all these contingencies? And who,
we may ask, would receive a warmer
support from the ssrebels" of the South
than the great General who fought them

declared met them as friends and
brothers
Would Hancock make a President
who would respect the laws? Read
his orders in this military Reconstruct
ton department. With every tempta-
ton, and taught, If you will, to make
the military supreme, Gen. Hancock
delivered the only staggering blow to
military usurpation the history Of that
most unhappy period records. 1t was
not to make strong, but constitu'
tional government, for which he Ia
bored. And we'll and nobly he did it.
His orders are yet standard exposi'
tions of constitutional law; and If then,
he spurned the temptation, would he
in the exalted position of President,
follow the teachings of a satrap, OF
those of q statesman?
We consider the Democratic party,
and the South, especially, in her yet
trying troubles, exceedingly fortunate
in having such soldier, statesman
and gentleman as Hancock to nOmi-
nate for President. He docs, In fact,
stalk into 2,,oniaence-the connecting
link between tho bitter past and the
hOpeful present.

HOLDING THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OF REPRESENTATION.
New Orleans Democrat

New Orleans Democrat.]
There was quite a large attendance
last night at the meeting of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, Hon.
A. VOORHEES, in the chair and Mr.. O.
M. Tennison acting as secretary.
After protracted debate, the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a convention of the
party be called to meet in New Or
leans on the twelfth day of April, Mt
such place as may be selected by the
chairman of this committee, for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
National Convention to assemble in
Cincinnati on the twenty-second of
June, and to designate the time, place
and basis of representation of the sew
held for the purpose of nominating
candidates for Congress in such lis
tricts as have no central congressional
committee.
Resolved, That the basis of represen-
tation in said convention shall be the
same as in the State Convention, which
assembled at Baton Rouge, October 6,
1879, except when the Democratic vote
was increased at the election ON De-
cember 2, 1879, in which case that vote
shall prevail.
Resolved, That the parish commit
tee of the city of New Orleans and of
the different parishes bic instructed to
cause delegates to be selected to said
convention on the basis of said repre-
sentation.
The original resolution, as offered by
Mr.. Robertson as a substitute to one
offered by Mr.. Gauthreaux, provided
that the basis of representation should
be one delegate for each 200 votes cast
ut the election for Gov. Wilt, but af-
| ter some debate the above amendment
| was adopted, making the resolution
| read rs above.
There was some division of sentiment
ON the question, and the city members
seemed disposed to abide by any deci-
sion the country delegates should de-
| termine upon. On the final vote seven
country delegates voted against the
resolution and nine country delegates,
with the delegates from New Orleans,
voted for it.

The Louisiana Legislature has been
wasting good deal of time, and val
liable, too, over the publication of judi
cial advertisements III the parish of
Orleans. The learned law ma crs should
turn their attention to the important
legislation, and let this matter regulate
itself; and they should also let pub
fishers charge for judicial advertise
ments as they do for all other advertis.
ing matter. They might just as we'll
fix the price Of lawyers fees and the
merchants goods, as to intrude in the
printing Office; and the matter of "post-
ing" is a farce, for few people ever sec
advertisements so promulgated. They
are generally "faded and gone" before
! the time prescribed by law has expired.
The newspaper is the only medium
that reaches the masses, and it seems
to us that sensible Legislators should
have realized this fact long ago.
The above sensible Views concerning
the matter of printing are expressed
by tho Madison journal. The TELE-
GRAPIt took almost precisely the same
position some years ago when the Rad
icals were in power and enforced what
was then known as the printing mo-
nopoly; and we adhere to the position
now. d.
/ We differ from our contemporary In
only one point. Where advertising is
made compulsory by the legislature,
some fixed standard of charges should
be specified, but the rates should be
j reasonable and not upon scale O,

ANOTHER PAPER FOR HANCOCK.

We clip the subjoined extract from
this paper with comments thereon
from the Carroll Conservative, one of
our ablest Louisiana exchanges:
The National Democratic Conven-
ton is called to meet on Tuesday the
22d of June next, and ut Cincinnati.
We submit Gen. Hancock as the
strongest candidate against Grant or
any Republican nominee.-Ouachit
Telegraph. . ..
We join you heartily Bro. McCranie.
Though living as it were in the Egypt
of Louisiana Democracy, we raise our
voice for Gen. w. s. Hancock to be
made the nominee of the Democracy
for President of these United States,
and it Is our honest opinion, and that
of nearly every sure enough Democrat
in this parish that Hancock can Cf
nominated) turn down Grant and CEN
tralization, Blaine with his CORY gar
ments, or Sherman and all his syndi-
Gates; so let us have Hancock, and save
the country from Mimic Monarchy.
And here is yet another-just come
to hand-favoring Gen. Hancock. We
quote from our highly esteemed cotem-
| pofary, the 1'"toH 1N'uSe <AuVoc"'e'
AS for the South, she will vote
willingly and cheerfully for any good
Federal soldier who will respect and
uphold the constitution and not tram
pie upon Republican liberty. That
man is w. S. Hancock, and Louisiana,
of ali the Southern States, has good
cause to ever feel grateful to him for
his wise and judicious action in re-
storing to her many rights snatched
away by such military satraps as Phil
Sheridan while in command of this
department.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

We think that it is self-eVident that
it is incxpedient to renOminate Gov.
Titden.
The con. plications in New York are
so grave that even the able and popular
Cfarkson N. Potter, supported by both
the Tainmany and anti-Tammany
forces for Lieutenant Governor, was
defeated last year. Even it Gov. Til.
den should patch up an arrangement
with John Kelly, we do not believe he
would be Us strong next November as
Mr.. Potter was last November. The
Democratic party, and especially that
portion of it which is able to give the
electoral votes needed to give promise
of success would be very foolish to
incur disaster to crafty an unreason-
able sentinlcntality on tho part of Gov.
Tildcn.
TO no~.i~ote Goc. z1uze,s Is, 5v on,
judgment, to let Gen. Grant acm the
Presidential stakes at an easy co,ter.
Can Louisiana, can the South afford
this? Looking at tho, field from a
standpoint, where we believe we have
exact knowledge, we assert tho defeat
Of Gov. Tilden by Gen. Grant would
be SO overwhelming that it would be
ludicrous, if not pregnant with such
grave results.
The memorable logic of events having
foredoomed Gov. ridden, we propose
briefly to speak of Mr.. Bayard. The
Senator from Delaware is Il great favor
! ito with the people of Louisiana. II he
be the nominee there will be no I'M
certainty in any Southern State. While
Gen. Grant might successfully contest
three or four of these States with Gov
Tilden, he would lose every Southern
electoral vote beyond peradventure,
as against Mr.. Bayard.
But upon what State not of the South
can Mr.. Bayard count after the publica-
ton in the New York Sun, of last
week, of the speech delivered by him
at Dover Green, Del, on the 9th June,
1861? The effect of the publication of
a speech, in which the chivalric and
patriotic Senator from Delaware plant
ed himself upon the secession platform,
and proclaimed tho unholiness of the
Union war, is II political event. AL
ready dear to the South, this speech
endears him the more, for by it he be-
comes Il comrade in misfortune if not
in arms. If it.be cXpedient for the
South to nominate Il representative of
the secession ideas of 1861, we would
gather as much strength beyond our
borders if we selected an illustrious
soldier like Gen. Johnston or Gen.
GOrdOn, us ii we nominated Il states
man who merely gave utterances to
his belief In the correctness of the prin-
cipies for which they fought. The
effect of the publication of this speech
may be gathered from the fact that the
Philadelphia Times, an influential
paper, that for two year has advocated
the nomination OF Mr.. Bayard, has
publicly withdrawn from his support,
upon tho ground that the Dover Green
speech of Mr.. Bayar,l renders it i'm
possible to receive a single vote out of
the South. alt is manifest deception
for the friends of Mr.. Bayaru to enter
] tain any other idea" Still, Ia the

THE SUPREME COURT.

The Picayune, Of Monday, announces,
and, inferentially, upon the best au-
thority, that Gov. Wiltz will appoint
Mr.. Bermudez Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. Speaking of the pros
pective Chief Justices qualifications
for so eminent position, the Picayune
says:
His profound knowledge of the civil
law, combined with an extensive mer.
camille practice, peculiarly fits him fol
the Supreme Court of Louisiana. He
will not 60 on the bench AS many have
done to be educated by the bar how to
decide cases. His extensive acquire
ments and varied practice will prevent
that enormous consumption of time re-
quired for the argument of causes where
some of the judges are to be instructed
in the elemental principles of the case
under discussion.
According to our respected cotem-
porary, Mr.. Bermudez will have but
little to do, except to read the tram
scripts. The attorneys need not file
briefs, or go before the Court with
oral arguments. We are quite sure
Mr.. Berinudez will be welcomed by
all the members of the Bar.
The Webster Tribune learns that the
friends of Judge l.. Il. Watkins are
quito hopeful of his appointment as
one of the Associate Justices, and says
it would be but ga just tribute to ono
of the most distinguished lawyers OF
the Statc.'
The friends of Col. II. Is. Todd, OF
Morehouse, himself distinguished
lawyer, are likewise hopeful that he
will be honorcd with scat on tho
Supreme Bench.
