State University; this in the face Of
an official report sent to the Cover

dents were present. This report was
published in almost every paper in
New Orleans; consequently, our con-
frere might have seen it. In justice
TO himself he ought to furnish the
name of his informant, that tie pub
lie may know who thus misrepresents
the condition of the University, an
Institution that has suffered more
than enough by unfortunate conten-
tons. We are officially informed this
morning that there are thirty-four
students from abroad boarding at the
college, and eleven others from the
city-altogether forty-five.
The Finances of the University are
now in healthy condition; there is

ACTS NOT WORDS.

among the intelligent people Of Lou
isiana as to the absolute necessity OF
turning the tide Of emigration to-
wards our waste lands, and it may be,
very soon, perhaps, to the fields now
under cultivation. Our State cannot
keep pace with the progress Of the
country unless her population is
rapidly increased by the influx Of the
hardy and industrious European
otherwise our lands must remain at o
nominal value aud their owners be
but monarchs Of proftless acres.
Glowing descriptions Of our climate
and the resources Of our parishes are
insufficient to attract the emigrant,
who, when he arrives, knows not
whittier to 60 to purchase or rent a
home, or find employment, until he
can improve his fortunes.
Nothing will be effected unless
money is obtained to aid the emigrant
in coming here and in finding the
exact locality where he is to be ac-
commodated in accordance with his
means, capacity or condition.
Toraise money there must lie con-
certed and systematized action. We
submit for the consideration of the
press and the people, that success
can be inaugulated by organizing
in each ward and parish of the
State, the members of which would
each be required to pay monthly dues
of fifty cents OF one dollar per month.
Surely, there ought to be in Louis
lana twenty-five thousand persons
who would be willing to give twelve
dollars year each, OF fifty thousand
six dollars each; a 1.-THE that would
aggregate the large sum Of 100000
annually, with which thousands Of
immigrants could be aided in coming
amongst us.
Such Pm organization extending
throughout the State, having it's par
ISL central committees, affiliatiug with
a general State Committee, could
frame descriptive lists Of the lands
that can be spared and the terms
upon which they may be obtained, &C
that the emigrant reaching New Or,
leans could be forwarded to the int.
rior, where some desi 1nated persona
would show him exactly where to g
and what to do.
Such an organization would no
prevent, but, Oh the con- .ary, facili
tate planters and others needing ad
ditional labor to obtain it.
We offer the above plan as q basi
upon which practical action may b
inaugurated, and we respectfully in
vite those newspapers who are striv
ing to guide Louisiana toward
material prosperity to take a
the subject that the people may a
last be awakened from slumber tina
keeps us in the rear Of the column
of the States which are marching t
aglorious future.
Self interest, the common intele'
the voice of patriotism, all susges
prompt action.
Who and where are those who wi
step to the front in this mOvemei
to help themselves, their neighbo'
and the generation that is now grow
ing up?

At a meeting of local Republican
club in Washington City, the other
night, J. Hale Sypher, ex-member of
Congress from Louisiana, made a long
speech, in which he rather "went for'
the Republican party. He criticised
Grant, dug up the bloody shirt, called
Garfield as weak as water, and said
that the bottom of the Republican par
ty had dropped out. He read White
law Reid out of the party, and said
"Murat Halstead was the greatest and
most corrupt political Ishmaelite in
the country, and that he had told him
So" and remarked that Joe Medill
come down to visit him in Louisiana,
and then, going back to st. Louis,
made the most beastly attack on the
South possible. Hayes, he said, was
merely the supe in the great fight of
1876; that he only came on the stage
to turn the light out and lower the cur
tain.

The Platform Of Flanagan.

Republicans there at Chicago,
When striving to strengthen their clan again
Accepted without demurrer
The simple, plain platform of Flanagan.
1--WE are here" said the patriot Texan,
ITO get into place II we can again,
And what do we think we are afters
Why, nothing but Office" said Flanagan.
The flames of old sectional hatreds
The resolute party must fan again,
To give full effect to the doctrine
So plainly expressed by its Flanagan.
Though bleached is the shirt that was bloody.
The party must try the old plan again,
For that is the curtain which covers
The excellent platform of Flanagan.
The skulls OF intelligent freemen
The party now hopes to trepan again,
Extracting the brains to make room for
The high neral doctrine of Flanagan.
The party will 90 to blue blazes,
Its chiefs be put under the ban again,
Unless it can force on the people
The gospel according to Flanagan.
To prove itself honest in purpose,
And sure of electing its man again,
It chose at Chicago a spoilsmap
To stand on the platform of Flanagan.
But failure confronts the corrupt ones,
For Hancock is leading the van again,
And voters demand something purer
Than shows in the platform of Flanagan.

Only one copy of the report Of the
Poland committee could be had for love
or money, and this is kept under watch
and ward in the Congressional library,
at Washington. The document has
literally gone out of print. This is q
matter of surprise, inasmuch as great
numbers of the report were printed
Perhaps this can be explained by the
fact that SO many persons were inter-
ested in gathering up and suppressing
them. Fortunately newspaper files of
the time are abundant, and from them
all necessary evidence can be procured
to convict the parties to the Credit Mo-
bilier rascality. Besides, the facts are
still fresh in the minds of the people.
The suppression of the Poland report
will have no effect to conceal any of
the facts.

The two factions of the Democratic
party in Philadelphia have come to-
gether and again present a harmoni-
Gus whole. A city committee has been
organized on the basis proposed by the
so-called peace commissioner some
weeks ago, both factions being recog-
nized in the Organization, and Hon.
Lewis c. Cassidy has been elected
chairman. The settlement of the diff
culties between the heretofore contend
ing wings Of the party is not for the
only; but is understood to be
permanent. The compromise will be
worth several thousand votes to the
Democratic national ticket and renders
Philadelphia fairly debatable city.

These goblets were Of pore and cootly
style and material. There were, how
ever, associated In The mind OF the
great Prohibitionist With unholy uses.
There were current traditions that
many high wassaif had been held at
the princely mansion Of the planter 70
whom these goblets had descended,
and at which the said vessels figured
conspicuously snd actively In the per.
verted use and demoralixing effects Of
and decanters to misguided and iufat-
uated lips huge draughts Of what was
only known to Dow - liquid hell fire.
but by the deluded victims of certain
heather god were esteemed a genuine
and inspiring burgundy, champagne,
sherry and sazarac.
To punish the misdee1s Of the past
and prevent all future repetitions there
of, Dow wisely and philanthropienlly
concluded, In the spirit Of Washington
Irving's schoolmaster, who searched
the pockets of his urchins for apples,
appropriating the same TO his own re-
freshment to prevent the mulligrubs
from breaking out In the school. So
Neal confiscated all these instruments
of vice and decentralization to his own
behoof and the decoration Of his own
buffet at Portland, Maine. Thus the
antique goblets of that genial old Un.
ionist and lordly planter were packed
with many other memorials OF Neal's
victories and glorious military career
In this State. snd shipped of to Port
land. After the war, Il became very
difficult for 30 ambitious hero and as
pirant for popular favor 20 c0ncel such
interesting and and precious reminders
of his valorous deeds. They were free
ly exhibited to his friends and visitors.
The monogram which they bore was
interpreted by Dow ~ that Of great
rebel chieftain whom he had slain In
single combat.
Alas! some intruding reporter and In
terviewer was favored with . sight Of
the goblets, wrote them up, and thus
betrayed to the owner their wheroa-
bouts. Neal was waited on by an 1t.
torney to account for their presence on
his ruffet. With characteristic bold.
ness he maintained his right Of conquest
and confiscation, and referred to Butler's
general order for the confiscatlon Of all
weapons found on the prem.
ises or in the possession Of all persons
dwelling within the limits Of his camp.
When sued, Dow set up this and 9TH
er pleas. averring. that good Union
man living in rebel territory was no bet
ter than an ,.out-and-out rebel, and his
psoperty was as oonfisoable, and that st
the worst IL was q military act, for
which an officer could not be held liable
in civil court. Neal gained his case,
to the infinite disgust Of the staunch old
UniOnist, who has ever since been com.
pellcd u take his Burgundy from COM
mon crockery instead Of from his anoss-
trail silver goblets. The chief source Of
to our planting friend for this
that his cherished YES
sells will be palluted and degraded %
the base use Of conveying TO the thirsty
lips Of Dow's followers draughts Of
switched, or of that vilest Of al alcoheli0
New England rum.

the early corn, which is in full silk and
tassel, sorely needs q shower, and the
dust is far more plentiful than pleasant.
Your last correspondent from Belle
view thinks that locality bad one to
raise children in, on account of the bad
moral atmosphere that pervades that
hollow in the Ozarks, while "Uncle
Toby" thinks st. Louis is all going to
the bad; but If either of these writers
would come here, or go anywhere In
Christendom, where the scramble to
live is so outrageous, he would find
about the same condition of things.
People complain that nowadays our
education does not educate, and no
wonder at that: for ifany teacher should
tell his scholars frankly what 1t requir-
ed to make them successful men and
women, as success is measured in socie.
ty now, he would be turned out Of his
school. Yet every day fathers and
mothers unwittingly teach their off.
spring that the road to fortune is the
way to success, and that beside being
industrious they must be saving to
meanness, and in some way strive to
others.
Lately stranger, who refused to give
his name, applied to our county officials,
asking to be sent to the poor-house for
medical attendance, as he was desti-
tute and very sick. Managing to crawl
out of town, he got over fence into an
oat field and there in sight of the gilt
terring steeples, where hypocrites do
and in land called civil
lied and Christian, the old man lay
down and died like sick and hungry
dog. A few days afterwards his body
was found in a state so sickening and re-
that it was difficult to get coro-
ner's jury. Shame! Shame!! Shame!M
This may be Christian land; this may
be a glittering civilization-but only on
the surface. Its heart is black, and its
feet still stuck in the mire of barbarism.
