5000 inhabitants. In 1870 only
about three and half per cent lived
in them. Contrast the condition of

then, and the reason for suffering

Somebody will have to he kept out

Nevertheless the fact is that it now

absolutely necessary. Our Custom
Houses have always supported a set
of lazy politicians, whose hardest
work was drawing their salary every
month, and none of the employees,
except, perhaps, the hard working
porters, ever do much more than
half what they would be compelled
to do, if in the service of a private
individual. Then we have high sal

shirk all responsibility of watching
those under them, necessitating the
employment of special agents to
watch the postal business Of the
country. A step above these is a
House of Representatives, larger
than it ought to be, and much more
inefficient than it ought to be. A
little higher still, and we find an
army composing the diplomatic SER

individual ability for drawing a large

Hon. T. ]. Butler on Affairs of State.

Hon. 7. ]. Butler on Affairs Of State.
At a mass meeting of the citizens
of Bienville parish, held at Sparta
on the 9th instant, in response to
complimentary resolutions passed
endorsing his course iu the las t
Legislature, Hon. Thomas J. Butler
made the following remarks, which
we quote from the Sparta Times:
"He had no apologies to make,
for he was ready to give an account
of every vote he cast while in the
Legislature. He felt proud that his
constituency approved of his course,
but if lie were asked what of the
last Legislature he would hang his
head in shame, for it had failed to
accomplish the ends whereunto it
was called. Good mems hands were
tied. Howard, the Lottery King
stood there with his millions and
defeated every measure in opposi.
ton to him. Wiltz, Mr.. Butler
thought, was a very good man, but
he was controlled by the rings and
monopolies of New Orleans. Louisi.
ana never would be redeemed until
she placed in power such men as ex.
Governor Francis T. Nicholls-one

[Loud and continued applause.1 If
the Hon. Il. N. Ogden, was Cover.
nor to-day this State would be in a
more prosperous condition, for he
was another sort of q man to the
present incumbent. Mr.. Butler didn't
fancy the present Speaker Of the
House, Bob Ogden. When he ar.
rived in tho city there were only
two candidates for the position, Og-
den and a gentleman from some of
the country parishes. The latter
was an excellent man, but too slow
for Speaker. Ogden was given up
to be one Of the best parliamenta.
rians in the city, and on these
grounds he supported him. Not,
however, before he had put two very
important questions to Ogden. He
had heard that Ogden was very
fond Of his dram, and that he had
mixed rather freely with such men
as Warmoth, Packard, Kellogg and
