GREAT CONSOLATION.

There is consolation in everything
even in political defeat. We shall
hear less about the sugar tariff I'M
der the Republican Congress. Inc
Republicans are protectionlsts at all
events. For the last four or i've
wears we have been harassed by an
annual wrangle over the sugar tariff
Onr sugar interest has been kept in
constant suspense and our planters
mt to continual trouble and outlay
in having their case properly repre-
sented. The Republican party, how
ever. created the tariff, and will, In
all human probability, perpetuate IT..
We shall at least have rest, and to
that extent. at least, be grateful.-N.

New ORLEANS, March 1881.
After the storm comes the calm,
and we have had storms Of all sorts
down this way-the weather people
and professions. The "old prcbs"
was very kind to us during the Car
nival-for more lovely and beautiful
weather was never my lot to see in
New Orleans, and what can | say
about the professions. First came
the 22d of February and its martial
array, and really it was a gallant
show, the splendid Boston Boys and
then the Louisiana soldiers made a
recollection never to be forgotten.
Then Menus and you know how lone
" she was-then King Carnival and
in the meantime the list New York
and Buffalo Boys had come and this
was big hurrah. Such crowds OF
folks on Canal street and such good
humor, every body determined to be
Jolly and to see all that was going on.
The band ofthe list was magnificent,
by the way. l see all the music for
marching is played at quicktlme
these days-and now we cometo the
day-Mardi Gras-but as everybody
saw the procession it's useless to try
to tell aboutit and really we fail to
discover our ability to properly treat
the Krewe or the Carnival, it did look
as if everybody and his wife had come
to New Orleans, and happiness and
pleasure reigned supreme. The visit
of the military from the North has
done more for good feeling between
the people North and South than
"visiting statesmen" could or would
have done. So I take it, the papers
have told you of the accident to one
of the Boston Lancers-that was a
sad ending to so pleasant a trip.

BRITISH CAPITAL AT THE DIS
POsAL OF PLANTERS.

From the New Orleans States, OF
the 10th inst, we gather the welcome
news, that the representative OF a
number of English capitalists has
reached New Orleans, for the purpose
of making permanent arrangements
whereby our planters who can offer
good security will be enabled to OBJ
tain all the funds they need to carry
on planting, at eight per cent interest,"
per annum; this for as long perlod
as they may wish.
The States further says, that as an
evidence that the capitalists mean
business, sever hundred and iiisy
thousand pounds sterling haye al
ready been RENTED to their agents
in New Orleans, to await any demand
that will meet the stipulations OF the
loan.
The advent of this foreign capital
will have the effect of liberating our
planters from the too great exac-
tons imposed upon them in some ca
ses by commission merchants, VINO
have through exorbitant rates OF IN
terest and other charges, made 1T al
most impossible to make planting
genuneliltigo industry.
1t will not be long, ere money al
low rates of interest, becomes plenti'
ful. Our people can then expect tf
see a complete revival of trade and
all kinds OF Industries.
We have, for some time back, as
serted that the good time was cominE
and this news goes strongly to con
firm our predictions

EDUCATION, THE REMEDY.

Blinded by fanaticism and hate'
the Republican party at the North,
after enfranchising the mass OF
liberated slaves at the South, could
see no other method Of reconstructlhg
its State governments and society IL
self, than by the brutal employment
of the bayonet.
We will not attempt to recount the
failure of the unstatesmanlike pollcy
which Gen. Grant pursued with that
heartless stubborness which constr
tutes what his admirers have called
his greatness.
For several years the peace and the
proeress of the Southern States were
DESTROYED and arrested by the mad Ell
forts to transfer the sceptre OF power
from the hands Of the caucasian race
into those of the liberated slaves ana
enfranchised Africans.
The trituration of those distinct
elements brought confusion and dis
order, but at length, as oil floats on
the surface Of the waters. the intel
!isence of the superior race, despite
all obstacles, became triumphant.
Pro6ting at last, from the sad ex-
| perience of the past, President Gar
| field agrees with the intelligent peo-
ple of the South, that education alone
can permanently fix the status OF the
negro in America.
The President will find no othe'
difficulty in accomplishing this deslr-
\ able object, so far as the South II
concerned, than the want OF means
lie nor his party cannot expect tina

contains the following startling an-
nomcemeDt This viii be.a sorprisc
to the people of Mississippi County,
among whom be stood f1irma above
suspicion or reproach. We refrain
from making comments. Such an
expected disclosures are calculated
to shake confidence in human nature.
Elevated to position of honor and
trust, surrounded BY a host Of warm
personal friends, and a devoted and
happy family, reason searches in vain
for motive for such a step;
a prominent toy dealer of this city
laid for one of his creditors under
the shadow Of the walls at the Mem
phis and Charleston railway few
evenings ago. He was accompanied
by Mr.. Pride Of the police force, and
with that vigilant officer he succeed
ed in getting a goodly portion Of his
proper dues, the amount being about
fifty cents on the dollar Of a claim Of
several hundred dollars.
The merchant had noticed the
man smolling about the city during
the day, and also saw him buy tickets
for the east at the Main street ticket
Office. Then he found the officer,
arranged his plans, repaired to the
depot several hours before train time
and watched quietly for the man
wanted,
Ten minutes before the hour Of de-
parture their man arrived in a hack,
accompanied by a female. The oili-
Ger tapped him on the shoulder as he
stepped out Of the carriage and
claimed him as a prisoner. The toy
dealer stepped up unidentified him,
saying in reply 70 the officers qucs-
ton, "That is Mr., Gar!ick. The lat
ter was surprised, soon recovered bis
composure, then he asked what was
wanted of him.
He was told that settlement OF
| his claim would alone save him from
a trip to the calaboose. He asked
permission toessort the lady from th,
hack to the train, but was told sh,
would not suffer il Lex alone for few
minutes. He parleyed awhile, sal,

he had but little money and wanted
something 70 start business on when
he should reach his destination in
Canada, and after conference Of
few minutes, he ripped seam in his
clothing and handed over the amount,
saying he had only $3.50 left. Then
he was permitted to 20, Boarding
the train in a hurry with his female
companion, the couple were soon
beyond the limits Of the city, moving
eastward, while the merchant and
officer went home, both well satisfied
with their adventure.
Meantime half a dozen or more
creditors had gathered at the Louis
vile depot, expecting their man to
take that rout. He had given out
that he would go north by way Of
Louisville. They waited in vain,
and when the train left their man
wasn't on it, II is understood that
he owes between six and seven thou
sand dollars here, the bulk of which
is due to Front Row merchants. :
The mans name is Il. \. Garlicl.
About eleven years ago he emigrated
from Canada, and settled at Osceola,
Ark. He went to work vigorously
on a farm, proved Industrious and
genial, made friends, won confidence
everywhere he went, and after sever
al years Of industrious labor accumu-
lated means. After he had been
there year or two he sent for his
family. lie prospered fairly, and
several years ago opened country
store. About two years since he
was chosen 10y popular vote Judge
Of the County Court Of Mississippi
county, Arkansaw, and only two or
three days before his passage through
here he sat in judgement upon the
bench to which he had been elected.
Sometime between a year and two
years ago Garlick became infatuated
with a oourtesan in this city. He
made frequent trips here, and is said
to have squandered deal of money
on his frail inamorata. As the in
fatuation and trips increased his bu-
siness fell off, and in due time he be-
came embarrassed. Last spring he
failed. a compromise with his cred
itors was effected at 40 cents on the
dollar, The trading house was con
tinued, but somehow did not do well.
As mentioned above, Garlick quit
Osccola a few days ago, leaving ev-
erything, and he failed to let lis ac-
quaintanccs know where he intend
ed to stop.
The worst feature about the busi-
ness is that the absconding merchant
and judge left wife and three inter
esting children behind to mourn his
departure. The eldest child is a
bright girl of thirteen years or such
a matter, the other two being small.
And he didn't leave any visible
means Of support for the abandoned
family.
