GEN. MosBy made tolerably lively
Confederate cavalry officer during the
war, but was thought to be so effectively
reconstructed afterward that he secured
the appointment of Consul to Shanghai,
where his old guerrilla habits broke out
from time to time involuntarily, like
the Princess who had been formerly a
cat that was seized with the old ruling
passion when she saw mouse cross the
room. Gen. Mosby has, from time to
time during his service abroad, when
wearied with the routine of official life,
made brilliant cavalry dash, SO to
speak, into the Tite Brnacles of our
Asiatic Ministerial and Consular service,
and, is generally thought outside of
official circles, bagged game at, each
charge. Oar Minister to China,
one Seward, a nephew of the great
Secretary of that name, we be-
lieve, and hence cousin of the late
Assistant Secretary of State, has, if Gen.
Mosby's charges are TRUE, been guilty of
participation in practices and pecula-
tions by our representatives in Asia dis
graceful to the American nation, and
which, if proved against japanese Of
fetal, would entitle that functionary to
the privilege of a neat but not gaudy
hari-kari on the spot The fact of the
matter is that our diplomatic and con-
sular service is a piece of rottenness that
wants overhauling. A swarm of mori-
bund politicians and clamorous party
hacks have from time immemorial been
pensioned off by sinecures in foreign
countries, some of which were
mines of wealth to the fortunate
incumbent and petty robbers of
our own citizens residing or travelling
in foreign lands General Mosby, we
understand, is on his way home, where
it is semi-officially given out that he
will stay. If he will substantiate some
of the scandalous stories against our
consular agent at Hong Kong and
against Minister Seward so as to lead to
a general ripping up of things, and
either the abolition or purgation of the
entire system, we think that loyal peo-
pile will generally forgive the havoc that
General Mosby made in war times with
our baggage wagons and commssariat
while raiding in the neighborhood of the
Union army. Sail in, General, and let
us have this business well ventilated.

THERE is an inherent quality in the
female mind that inclines the heart of
woman instinctively to raiment that
trails in ravishing folds behind her as
she travels. Homer sings in his majcs-
tic measure of "Troy's proud danes
whose garments touch the ground" and
stories of Princesses such as delight our
earlier years are. always garnished with
descriptions Of seraphic beings with
crowns and :obes of state that trail in
majesty along the ground. What would
Princess in fairy tale become without
these stately petticoats? Manifestly
nothing greater than piquant choral
singer in "Pinafore" in slippers and
clocked stockings, or ballet girl in the
"Black Crook with gauze and
spangled combinations. Lovely woman
should move like Juno without
the aid of understanding. The present
style of ladies'. street dresses is therefore
horrid. Instead Of attaining locomotive
propulsion like a fairy princess by means
of casters or other ingenious but
concealed mechanism, women go about
streets in their robes of silk and vel
vet and gossamer, with dainty shoes and
stockings and buckles--kid slippers, the

The Monroe Bulletin of Wednesday,
referring to tho congressional canvass

which we take to be Il telegram:
MONROE, July 20, 1850.

How is Lincoln? Make solid fer
King. II necessary, draw on Jethro
Moore for fifty dollars.
w. G. WILL MsON.
Judge Redwinc, the Hulletin states,
declined the proposition with tout
spoken condemnation"
Were we called upon to shy what
fifty dollars would do in the case stated,
we should say it would do but very
little. 1t might buy few drinks, hire
u few runners and generally ssspread
the news" but that sum would GER
tainly not buy Lincoln parish, or even
a good field hand in that parish. But,
the telegram is not to be explained by
suggestions, but by real square words
and facts. And these are in order.

NO MIDDLE GROUNII

The Grecnbackers are making feeble
efforts, here and there, in this State, to
effect an organization, but We notice
that there has been a sensible diminu-
ton of enthusiasm and lessening in
numbers even since last Springs elec-
ton. The calls are less frequent, the
meetings are not SO numerOus-few as
they We're then--and the purpose to
overthrow both the old parties not half
so vocifarously proclaimed. We do
not understand that this implies any
lack of enthusiasm with those who
are still left, but that it comes from
depleted ranks, and a reasonable be-
lief that the reforms sought can be
effected without u Greenback party.
We respect devotion TO principle
even to an idea, and we respect the
courage and devotion Of the few Green
hackers left In this State to what they
believe to be right. But we submit
that Greenback party in Louisiana,
in this canvass, is not demanded by
the people, not necessary to preserve
their rights or liberties, can do no good
in preserving order, can not aid re-
form, will not help elect President
unless 1t be Garfleld--and that those
who have dropped the party have
taken wise step, and the only one
proper to take. The election may
come, rerchance In 1884, when a
Greenbacker may develop himself to
advantage, so to speak, in this State,
but he certainly has wisdom beyond
ordinary mortals to find field for
work in Il separate organin ation in this
campaign. Gen. Weaver, himself, in
thirty-seven States, only expects to be
elected by the vote of De La Martyr.
