ally unfoldsd. but not until the rebel
archives vera searched did we know
that he was an embryo colonel in the
rebel army. OF course all who know
him and were in any way cognizant Of
his actions during that period knew that
his proper status would have been in
the rebel army, but it seems that the
rebel authorities at Richmond had as
high an appreciation Of his military
ability and of his fidelity to thu rebel
cause as the rebels at home had. Here

do Lot say that Col. Payard was aware
of the honor that was in store for him

evidence that the rebel authorities ap.

they showed their appreciation Of him
by giving him an honorable grade in

Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, colonel in

There never was any doubt on the part
Of live Union men that during the re.
bellion the oitizans of Wilmington had
in the person Of Lieutenant Bayard an
active rebel sympathizsr amongst them,
such sympathy being expressed by
open unmistakable demonstrations, but
little were the citizens aware that they
had real live rebel colonel amongst
them only lacking the rebel eolonel's
commission which was made out for
him but on account Of the difficulty of
sending such documents across the
lines could not be sent to him and so it |
like many ether documents found its
way into the rebel archives to turn up |
as a witness Of his disloyalty.

Louisiana Laws.

The time OF holding sessions of
the Supreme Court has recently been
changed, as follows: In New Or,
leans, from the LIST Monday in No
vember to the eAd of May. In Mon
roe, commencing on the 1st Mondays
in June. In Opelousas, on the LIST
Mondays in July. Aud in Shreve-
port, on ths I'd Mondays in October
Appeals rcturnable from Bossier,
Cadde, DeSeto, BienviIle and Web
ster, must be returned to the Su-
prene Court at Shreveport before
the I'd Mondays in October. Also,
all appeals pending from those par
ishes prior to the LIST Monday in
April, 1880, must be sent to Shreve
port for decision.
The new Constitution divides the
State into twenty-six Judicial Dis
tricts. The term of each of these
Courts begins on the LIST Monday in
April, commencing with the first
parish named in the District, when
the Judge viii tx the time for hold
ing Cesrt in each parish in his Dis
trict. There viii be four terms
year in each parish in this District,
composed Of Bossier, Webster and
BienviSle. Two of the terms will
be jury, and two probate, alterna-
ting, and the terms shah be at least
three weeks apart. Extra jury ses.
sions may bs called when the Judge
deems it necessary. Sessions of
the District Court must be held 80 as
not to conflict with sessions of the
Circuit Court.
Another rev law prohibits judi

Everybody outside the profession
knows that it is the province of a

so lost to a sense of duty as to build
editorials on resumption and the sit

The San Francisco Merchant SEN
sibly remarks that there is class
OF business men, or rather men in
business-for there is distinction
with difference-who persistently
refuse to advertise in any news
paper, and usually content them
selves with subscribing to only one,
and that as a rule, as old fogyish in
it's ideas as its non-advertising pa
irons. When such people are ap-
preached for an advertisement,
which may return its cost ten or a
hundred fold, they have a stereo.

fluence in defeating its obnoxious
measures. Itneyer, possibly, occurs
to them that the influence which can
avert or change legislation, is not
less powerful in directing the cur
rents of trade to those houses most
deserving of it by their superior en-.
terprise, intelligence and liberality.
In trade, as in all other things,
activity is life and stagnation death.
A firm can no more remain station
AIRY than the tides that ebb and flow;
if they do not increase their bust
ness connections they must expect
a falling off, because it is human
nature all over to follow the fashions
of change. We frequently hear non
advertisers complain of trade grad.
ually decreasing, and Of old custo-
mers shortening their orders,
or withdrawing altogether. In fact,
the buyers, in such cases, are better
off than the sellers, because they
have ascertained through adver.
tisements in the press with whom it
is the most profitable to deal.
In proof Of these assertions, let
the non-advertising class peruse the
papers and they will find the adver-
tisements of their more prosperous
and successful rivals in trade filing
their columns. If they desire fur
Their proof, let them try the effects
of little judicious advertising on
their own account. A business man

railroads, steamships, telegraph and
all other great developments of

The one great impeachment to IA
steady prosperity of this country is
too much government. We are a
governmentally afflicted people.
We are almost constantly in the
midst Of an election turmoil of some
character, and when not engaged in
electing somebody to Office, a couple
dozen legislatures, headed by Con
gress, are grinding out laws by the
tubfull. In perusing a Western
paper, recently, we learned that
Helena, Montana Territory, a town
Of 5000 inhabitants, had no regu-
larry organized government apart
from the government of the county
in which it is located, and we felt
like emigrating to such a haven OF

Missouri. has just paid $3.50, 900

Big debts, the collecting and dis,

money have much more to do with
the prevailing looseness of public
morals than most people suspect.

Says the Oglethorpe (Ga.) Echo:
"Few people have any idea Of the
difference in size, color and shape of
the various varieties of cotton seed.
Some are white, green and blue;
others large, medium and small, and
round, fat and oblong. The smaller
the seed the shorter is the staple, but
the greater the yield of lint"

The German government intends
to- levy tax on advertisements. In
Germany a newspaper is not per-
mitted to publish an advertisement
till it is FIRST examined and counter
signed BY government official,
who examines it carefully to see that
it contains no seditious matter about
Bismarck, and to make sure there
is nothing in it that might offend
the Gar of Russia. When a Ger
man newspaper remarks that Bis
marck is getting too stout and
should drink more beer and take
less exercise, they throw him into a
dungeon, and it is only by appeals
to the leniency of the emperor that
he is saved from having his head
cut off with a broad.ax. He is held
to be guilty of treason, however, and
his estates are con6scated to the
state. 1t is in acco, dance with the
eternal fitness of things that adver-
tisements are to be taxed in Ger
many.

Our great progress in journalism
is shown by the fact that in 1875
there were in the United States less
than forty newspapers and period.
Gals, whose aggregate issue for that
year comprised 200, 900 copies; now
the united press publishes over 500

publications; of the dailies that ex-
listed in 1870, about 800, OOO, 900
