When he is 81 there is no house
large enough for him; and, for six
months or more his friends are made
miserable by contemplate swell.
Probably he has been engaged u
number of times, and really thought
each chosen one divinity. He
stares at the pretty faces, flirts with
young ladies who never even see him
and lives in FOOLS paradise, until
he suddenly awakens to discover
the remarkable truth, the cruel fact.
that he is only an ordinary man If
ter all, and not one of natures
nobleman. He then becomes melan-
choly and acrimonious, and lashes
his tongue and pen against the Ia
dies, blaming them for deceivinc
him.

vanity makes him good-natured, and
an ill-natured man is much worse
than a cross-grained old maid, for.

are the young men who think
they understand the demands of

Democrats who voted for Tilden

other people voted for him? The

they will vote for Garfield, for no.

If we were called on to produce 8
genuine earpet-bagger, and could
lay cur hand on Judge" John P
Southworth, we should say "here
he is, look at him." The first time
the people of Louisiana heard Of
this fellow. he was appointed United
States Commissioner by Judge
i Woods, of the United States Circuit
Court, and came here from Mobile
to accept the appointment. He was
the Commissioner who, in 1876,
issued the famous sewing machine
warrants, which was such fraudu-
lent proceeding that we believe a
Republican administration never
paid him for his services. He has
never done anything in the South ex-
cept hold Office. He has no inter
est here except his chances for a
place under Garfield. He is a
proper specimen of the Radical
party in this State. and we are not
surprised that he has been "sent
for" to stump Indiana for Garfield;
but we are somewhat surprised to
read in the Chicago Inter Ocean, Of
a recent date. his interview with II
reporter OF that paper. We always
thought Kellogg was the champion
liar of Louisiana, but Judge" John
P. Southworth must now be award
ed the medal that Kellogg has so
long worn. This interview is too
long for our paper, aud we there
fore select few of the lies which
the Inter Ocean has no more sense
than to publish. He says that in
Louisiana two classes of registra-
ton papers are issued, one for the
whites and one for the blacks, call
ed 'tnisger papers," which were
devised to shut out the niggers"
at the polls, and that this "has been
going on for fifteen years" That

The biggest lie of all is perhaps the
statement that at one time he was
for forty days guarded wherever he
went by two armed men, ostensibly
reporters. and paid by Southern
Democrats in the interest of the
cause.
The foregoing are specimens of
the checklist lying we ever read.

efforts in the presence of the great |

these lies of Southworth in
any complaining spirit. The truth |
is we do not care how much such |
asses lie about us. The South is
uble to take care of itself and pro-
tect its own interests, and there is
no disposition to whine because a
carpet-hagger like Southworth has
such a pre-eminent capacity for
lying about us. We allude to him
AS u curiosity in whom we have
some pride, in this, that he over
tops Kellogg in the only accom-
plishment that ever distinguished
him.
