men come they will flourish. The
loom is destined yet, we would fain
believe, to 60 hand in hand with the
plough in unfolding the great natur.
al resources of Louisiana. Think of
it! The hay crop alone of the State
Of New York exceeds 800, OOO, 900.
Whenever Louisiana directs its
attention to the minor cerals, to the
products of orchards and gardens,
to the production of beef and NUT
ton from pasturage, &C., then there
will be indeed mighty increase in
its wealth. Louisiana should raise
within its borders all that is con.
sumed and be certain to manufac.
ture all the cotton that it produces.
By doing this-paying all attention
to diversity of crops and to mann.
featuring; BY not looking to others
for food or raiment OF farming i'm.
plements, but raising and manufac.
turing for ourselves, and shipping
our surplus, our people will surely
grow rich and independent. Try it.

Immigration.

Immigrants continue to arrive at
New York in large numbers almost
daily, and the increase of this kind
of travel has been such that the
Hamburg American Packet Compa-
ny have put five extra steamers ON
their line. It is stated that most of
the immigrants now arriving have
friends in the West, who during the
spring and summer sent them the
passage tickets On which they now
come. The most of them go to Min.
nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
Wisconsin to work on farms or in
shops. Still Louisiana sits idly by
with folded hands and these thou.
sands Of immigrants 60 West. The
climate is as good in this State as it
is in the West. Just as much mon.
ey can be made here farming as in
the West. We have as good socie-
ty in this State as elsewhere good
markets are convenient, and our
railroad facilities are being rapidly
developed. Then why do they flock
to the Vests The reason is plain.
Those States offer advantages to the
working man that is not often
thought of here, and of course a
man is going to the place that offers
him home and an education for his
children for little or nothing.

Look At II!

An exchange says: 1.-THE cotton
factories Of Georgia and South Car.
DINA are paying from IL to % per
cent, leading far ahead of those of
New England in the profits they re.
turn to their owners.n
We hope that some of our leading
capitalists will digest the foregoing
extract to a sufficient extent to cause
them reflection. If such manufac.
turing establishments make so favor
able returns in Georgia, why not in
louisiana Let US remember that
the manufacturing interest of Geor-
gia has given her the proud title of

The Public Schools.

It is great mistake to imagine
that money expended by property
holders to educate the poor is thrown
away. No money is better invested;
property mnst be protected. If not
protected by moral suasion, by edu.
cation, it must be by force. The
more schools and academies are
built, the fewer jails and prisons are
required. It is far cheaper to edu.
cate children, than to try, convict
and execute criminals. Property
holders and wealthy men, if they are
wise, will not grnmble at school
taxes, but pay them cheerfnlly, get
credit for liberaity and public spirit
and save themselves and heirs the
enormous expenses of supporting
jails and jaifors, prisons and prise.
ners, judges, lawyers, sheriffs, con.
stables, and all the costly append.
ages of criminal justice.
The children of the virtuous poor
have claims upon society. The
parents constant daily toll, m many
instances rarely produces more than
sufficient to supply the bodily wants
Of their families shelter, food aaa
raiment must be provided, even if
mental culture is neglected Such is
the unequal distributions Of wealth
in society, that many hard working,
but unfortunate people are but few
grades above want. The best inter-
ests of society and the future pres
perity of our country imperatively
demand that these children of toll
be educated at the public expense.
The safety Of life and property de.
mands it. The success of Louisiana
demands it; for without good free
schools we need not look for immi.
grants to come and settle in our
State. Money spent in establishing
and sustaining schools, colleges and
churches. will certainly enhance the
prosperity of the communities in
which they are established, and re-.
dound to the general public good in
the end.

Never since the downfall of the
Democratic party did that party feel
or look in better trim than it does
today. They have defeated the Re-
publicans in Maine-have them
trembling in Ohio and frightened
about Illinois and Pennsylvania
Victory seems to be written in every
quarter for the Democracy. Let it
cOme-when peace will take the
place Of sectional strife-prosperity
follow hard times, and our nation be
crowned with true glory.

The taking Of the census has de
veloped an unexpected increase Of
population in the Southern section
of the Union, and this should spur
mp the government to the necessity
of having more postofices and bet.
ter mail facilities. The Southern
States have not received that bene.
fit in this direction which it had a
right to expect.
In the Northern and Northwestern
States there are postofices and daily
mails at nearly every cross road,
while in the South it is often the
case that our people have to use all
efforts at their command to procure
even q weekly horse route in seclud-
ed localities. The Government owes
it to our people TO give them the
benefit Of the mails to the fullest
extent possible. Nothing facilitates
trade moro than good and conye-
nient postal regulations Quick
transmission of the mails, and nu-
merOus deliveries in even the most
distant localities, aid powerfully in
developing the energies and increas.
ing the general knowledge of the
people.

The war was waged to restore the
Union of equal States, not to con-
vert the North into conquering
military despotism and the South
into a second Ireland. 1t was only
proposed originally to compel the
South to abandon it's purpose to set
up a separate nation. Next it was
determined to weaken it by abolish
ish slavery, and finally it was resolv-
ed to keep it weak and hostile as a
section by enfranchising her negroes
and putting them to rule over her.
All of this was accepted without
any attempt to inaugurate second
war. When the negro governments
went to pieces from their inherent
rottenness, it was hoped an era of
reconciliation had dawned and that
an end had come to sectional ami.
mosities. Nobody dreamed of re-
fusing to the Southern men equal
light in the restored Union, and
everybody hoped that the danger
that the South was to become anOth.
or Ireland or Poland had forever
passed away.
But tho new era of Grantism is
being inaugurated by Conkling upon
the idea that "the men who saved
" the country must govern it," a
fine phrase which means that the
readmissiOn of the South to equal
rights in the government was a mis-
take which must be undone. It
means that the old Union is not re-
stored and, that the new Union is to
be the union of England and Ire
land. "The South is unpatriotic in
its motives and dangerous in it's
tendencies" and not to be trusted
says Mr.. Conkling in his fierce and
bitter Observation-Disclosures the North
is to assume practically the same
relation to the South that England
holds toward Ireland. A permanent
distinction between Northern and
Southern citizens is to be kept up.
The South is to be perpetually goad.
cd into discomfort and then ostra
cised and pursued for not being
pleased with insult and injury. She
is to be kept poor and systematically
embittered. Persecution of her will
occupy the public mind, and turn it
away from tariff and other reforms.
1t will foster the military spirit, con-
solidate the government slowly but
surely, and enable the moneyed pow.
or, under the guise and in the name
Of loyalty to tighten its grip upon
the masses. It is the blindness of
the people to the encroaehments of
despotism that makes such an iniuri-
Gus policy possible.
