A SEkSELESS SHOW.

Doctor Tanners fast continues to excite a
languid interest in the general public in har-
mOny with the enerva ing condition of the
weather. The affair impresses many
as CHASTITY farce. The solemn con-
vocation of doctors about the cot wait
ing inactive until the sudden fall in
"his pulse and temperature will indi-
"cate approaching dissolution" when they
propose to rush in with their late remedies
and run neck-and-neck race with Death for
Tanners soul, is the most absurd feature of
it all. 1t reminds us oddly of the convoca
tions of jealous men who used to assemble in
Colonial days to pray the devil out of o man
possessed. For three days and nights" says
an old writer. "they sang and prayed about
"a boy in Gray's tavern. never daring
"to give over for an instant, as none
could tell the moment the fend would
abe ready to escape from his mouth"
Is there not single practical man among
these physicians who can persuade Tanner
to give over his useless attemptf 1t is
pitiable to see such enormous will

Our Democratic fren DIS insist that there was no
self the facts in the electoral controversy of 1876
and making his judgment thereon the basis for his
official action as a military commander They say
he had perfect right to express the opinion that
Tilden elected If he thought so. and to act &C
cordingly. Perhaps So But the argument used by
which he was nominated was that he was ready to
recognize Tiden President contrary to the deci-
SION of the Electoral Commission, If only that pro-
crastinating old gentleman had been willing TO take
the oath. Whether there be any documentary evil
dence Of this or not it is undeniable that the belief
in il effected his nomination. There was much talk
at the time about Tldens taking the oath of Office
and General Hancock undou tedly had his mind
made up as to what course he should pursue in that
event. 1t would DO q very easy and simple thing
for him TO do TO inform the public on this interest
ing question 1t Is said however, that so long as
he did not recognize Tiden. and did not commit
any overt act of dsloyalty, there is ground for
any of the insinuations against him. Whatever he
may have thought about it, he did nothing. There
Is something In that. SO much Is being made of the
patriotic unse shness of the party that OCCASION
IL seems proper enough, IL We are to reward
the party for not engaging IN rebellion, that we
should pagard General Hancock also for not lead

neither the party nor General Hancock could have

A rumor comes by the cable which may in
dieate an important change in the wheat markets
of the world some months hence. The Russian
harvest threatens to be so poor that there is
already talk of restricting The expectation of
wheat, and of forbiddDg it altogether if the
alleged failure of the crop in South Russia
should be found to extend to other portions of
the country. 1t may be that the i'll wind
for Europe-which brought such prosperity to
America is to be felt again in part.

When it is considered that our city,
containing population of over seven
Thousand, soon to be increased by the
establishment Of the seat of government
aud the almost absolute certainty of the
construction of the New Orleans
Pacific Railway; all of which
are to be added to the rapid de-
velopment of our sister parish, across
the river, We cannot but believe that
the man or set of men who will have the
enterprise to secure this five year privi-
iege, which is likely to require nothing
more in return, but the keeping of a sub
stantia! boat, will make first rate. pay
ing bargain. ...s..
The merchants and the people of
Baton Rouge are vitality interested in
aftordlnS cheap transportation to cross
the river at this point. and it behoovcs
Them to take decisive and prompt steps
totakc advantage of the present oppor- !
tunity Else, the same high rates that
have driven so much trade away from |
this city, will be kept up for the next |
five years to come.
The CArIToLGAN has been doing al in
its power to awaken our citizens from q
lethargy that has wrought incalculable
injury to their interests. but we are sor-

been unavailing,
We again appeal to them to stretch a
hand to regain the trade of West Baton
Rouge. They must act at once, else the
golden opportunity will be lost.
