ORGANIZED CHARITY.

Gov WiltZ In his message touched upon
that article In the new constitution which
makes 1t incumbent upon each parish to sup
port all intirm, sick or disabled paupers re-
siding within its limits, and very properly
necessity Of providing against mendicant and
va9rant paupeTi5m, and also OF legislation
'reprehensive and penal to check the influx
into the State of numbers OF insolent. auda-
clous and healthy vagabond mendicants,
who have recently invaded Louisiana" This
is a very important matter, and one that de-
serves the serious consideration not only Of
the members of the General Assembly but OF
the public at large, and 1t Is quite time that
some system OF organized charity was
adopted In this community which would work
In the interest OF the really needy and dis
tressed and against those professional
paupers whose presence In any community Is
nuisance. Honest poverty suffers In silence
while vagabond and shameless beggars pa
rade themselves upon the public highways,
making an exhibition Of their misfortunes
and demanding aims from every passer. 1t
is often very perplexing to those who are
charitably inclined to know iIst what to do
when appealed to by these pitiful looking
individuals, and nine times out OF ten the inn
pulse to give prevails over the disncination
to encourage this character OF mendicancy,
and about nine times out OF ten the money
given Is squandered upon persons utterly IN
| worthy and not In need. To avoid this waste
| full expenditure and to insure the distrlbu-
ton OF charitable funds among the really
destitute, there are Ia a number OF Northern
cities, notably In New York, Philadelphia and
Buffalo, societies organized for the pur-
pose Of investigating every case OF alleged
pauperism that Is brought to their notice.
| These societies are under the management Of
/ the very best citizens, who have an office
| where complaints are filed and where blank
| forms are issued, which. when filled up, Sc
| cure thorough Investigation into the case
| of alleged poverty. For all purposes OF pro-
| fessional mendcants these forms answer
admirably. as whenever party Is applied to
| for aid he can take the name and residence
OF the applicant and hand it In to the society,
where 1t at once receives attention. In this
way private charities may be bestowed with
actual certainty of their giving relief to those
who are genuinely In need The province OF
these societies is not merely, however, to
| look UP and assist these cases OF pauperism,
but to make a thorough canvass OF the city
and ascertain by actual personal investiga-
ton every case OF distress, and to relieve 1t

SUGAR MARKETS.

We take the liberty OF Offering the sugges-
tion to the Associated Press that better
knowledge of the condition Of the sugar mar
kets OF the principal cities Of the North and
West would be of great interest to our sugar
dealers and planters, and, In this connection.
1t would be well IL the dispatches quoted the
grades best known here, and also give the
tone of Northern and Western markets.
Louisiana now produces a sugar supply Of
fourteen millions In value. The number OF
persons engaged In the production and ham
ding Of this vast crop, together with the large
capital invested, iustihes US in requesting
that the fullest Information shall be given, in
order that our people may have the benefit OF
all the markets of the country, and we have
no doubt that our friends OF the Associated
Press will cheerfully adopt SO reasonable a
suggestion, which is based upon the universal
desire OF our business community.

Notwithstanding repeated assurances to
the contrary, and the excited comments Of
the German and Austrian press thereon, the
statement is now made from Russian sources
that instead of increasing her army 1t has
been materially decreased during the present
year, and that her purposes and wishes are
all for peace. This is very well as far as it
goes, but 1t does not go far enough The
charge made by the Austrian press was that
Russia was massing her army on the West
ern frontier, and there accommodating a large
quantity OF war material. No explanation Is
given of this movement. and until it is fully
accounted for Russia protestations Ct peace
full purpose will be accepted with reserve.

Talmage selected Nightmares as the sub

Talmage selected Nightmares as the sub
ject for his sermon last Sunday, and en-
deayored to discover whether they were
caused by dyspepsia or revelation from
above. He was rather inclined to regard
them as due to both. Dreams were repeatedly
mentioned In the Bible as having been sent
for the purpose OF giving warning, and more
than once are mentioned as having been sent
from on high. On the other hand, It was
equally true that too much supper would
develop them, and therefore 1t would not do
to attribute meaning and significance to every
vision we see in our sleep. He failed. how
ever to tell how the two species Of dreams
could be distinguished from each other, and
his hearers are, therefore no wiser than they
were before they heard him, and are liable to
mistake the result OF too much cheese for a
prophetic and warning vision.

THE SUICIDE MANIA.

Two young men have recently committed
suicide In New York under such peculiar cir
cumstances as to excite unusual newspaper
comment. Both of them, 1t seems, went
about the act of sef-destruction In the most
deliberate manner, leaving behind them care
fully written documents concerning their
worldly affairs, and providing for the dspo-
sition of their bodies after death. Que Of
these self-immo plated individuals was young
Englishman named Fl. A. Holland, a graduate
of Oxford University, and the son OF a well
known and wealthy clergyman of the Estab-
lished Church, living in one Of the central
counties of England; while the other was q
young German civil engineer named Parthay,
who like Holland, was Of excellent stock,
highly educated and possessed OF talents
above the common order. Both of these
young men in their valedict0ry mes
sages to the public assert their san
ity In the most positive terms, although
neither displays a willingness to advise the
public concerning the motives leading to the
shuffiing off OF 1.-The mortal COLI in such n
unceremonious manner. Parthay said he
went 'calm and without any passion or fear,"
while Holland said, Il do hope that no one
will think me mad" Relative to the dispo-
sition of their bodies after death there was
also singular unanintty, each expressing a
desire to be cremated. The German did not
care for ceremonies, but would prefer burn
ing" and the Engishman did not wish to put
his family and friends to more expense than
he could help, but SHOULD like to be Gre
mated" Following swiftly the one after the
other these suicides would seem to suggest
something more In the way Of a motive

A GOOD RADIANCE.

| We regret that In the rush or other matters
and In the engrossing procession Of events
we neg leeted to thank Judge Billings, Tor the
sake Of Justice and proprlety as we'll AS on
behalf Of tho entire steamboat fraternity, for
his action In removing the late Norris or
perhaps we should say T. Morris-Chester
from his position as United States Commits
eioner How Chester ever came to be appointed
to that Isace has always been mystery
to good citizens how he managed to escape
deeapitation so long has proved even more OF
q conundrum. There is no doubt. however, as
to the fitness and Thickness of his removal.
Judge Billings could not have done more
just or cornmendable thing or one that would
more certainly concentrate upon himself tho
gratitude OF large and Influential class.
This fellow Chester has done more than any
other commissioners to bring Into odium and
disrepute tho administration Of Federal JUS
ttee here In New Orleans. Beside being
an ass OF the densest and most
opaque description he is ut once conceited
aud obstinate, pompous and malignant, cum
ming and INSCRIPTIONS. His court has been
tho medium through which the most out
rageous annoyancea. expressions and injuries
boat interests There was no complaint 80
frivolous that he would not make 1t the pre-
text for some persecution; there was no allie
CATION so false and untenable that he would
not maintain 1t rs against the steamboats,.
Half dozen such commissioners as Chester
would have driven the river commerce away
In less than twelve months. Half q dozen
such courts as his would have made 1t impos-
sible to transact business that could by any
device be brought within his clutches. With
the instincts OF o bird Of prey, his rulings
we're always against those who offered tenn D.
tatlon to plumber; with the instincts OF an
embittered and malevolent nature his blows
were always leveIed at the worthy.
We are glad that Chester has gone. In the
name OF numerous community and Of a
large and important interest, we thank Judge
Billings for giving the impetus that launched
him. He has been In authority just long
enough, however, to illustrate the folly and
the danger OF applying to public position a
set of attachments which nature intended for
the corntield by day, and perchance the
neighbors' hen by night. Chester Is
ruined now and to that extent he Is a victim.
He can never bring himself down to his legit-
Innate occupation OF chasing twelve inch hoe
down ditch bank, and yet 1t Is the most GER
tain OF all certain things that there will never
be any popular yearnng for him as an ex
FOUNDER OF the law. 1t is difficult to imagine
any field of labor Ia which Chester can figure
to the profit and satisfaction Of any one else,
though possibly, Ii we had time, we might
stumble upon valuable suggestion. Chester,
however, Is one OF those things that people
shake with too much enthusiasm to admit of
an afterthought. They say. as We do now.
Goodbye! and then they want to air their
minds

The Philadelphia Times recently sent cir
cuiar letters, with blank circulars for an
swers, to the entire press of Pennsylvania,
outside of Philadelphia, for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning an expression Of opinion concerning
the popularity of certain persons mentioned
In connection with the presidential nomina-
tion. To these circulars more than half OF
the journals Of the State have replied from
which the Times Is enabled to make UP the
following summary: On the Republican side
26 are for Blaine, q for Grant, for Sherman,
s for the field, 7 for the nominee and for the
best man; on the Democratic side Is are for
TiIden Is for Bayard, II for Gen. Hancock, 9
for Seymour, for the field, 5 for the nominee
and II for anybody. From the foregoing it
would appear that Republican preferences
are rather evenly divided on Blaine and
Grant, while the Demo cratS manifest dis
position to support Tilden, Bayard, Hancock
and Seymour in the order named, or any
bodv" with a respectable chance OF winning.
These returns, coming from nearly all sec
tions of the State, would seem to Indicate
that the sentiment favorable to particular
candidate is lot confined to any particular
locality. bu. Is scattered, and the papers,
whether for one candidate or another, gener-
ally agree respecting the average OF opinion
