MIR. J. Gentil. the chivalrOus gen

has made the st. James Louisianais
one of the staunch journals of the
State, was honored lately by an as
semblage Of seven hundred of his
Pensioners, white and black, who
came to bid him BON voyoge to the
home of his birth, whittier he goes
for few months. A banquet and
all0cutions were offered him in evil
dence of the love and respect which
his fellow citizens entertain for him.
Never were popular honors more fit
tingly bestowed. We heartily join
the good people of st. James in wish

THE BROKEN MACHINE.

Under this heading, our neighbor
the Advocate, takes up an article OF
the New York Sun, on the "chawed
UP" subject Of rings, which that pa
per says, have been smashed up in
most of the large cities, at the mu-
nicipal elections which have lately
been held.
We have heard so much OF this
cutlery against rings, real or imagl-
nary, by men who either want some
thing for themselves or for some
friend, that we either put down the
protesting ant-ringer, as a politician
OF the first water appearing in tho
garb of an unsel6sh patriot, else as q
dreamer, whose utterances can have
but the single object of disorgani-
zing political parties, which are nee
essary touphold definite principles &C
cording to which the masses are
more or less faithfully governed.
In every countryiin the world, men
who think alike in matters of policy
and the methods of government, are
TO be found closely associated for the
object of securing the triumph Of
their common views or principles.
The associations generally manage
to get rid OF the wolves in their
midst, without resortinS to bush
whacking practices on the outside.
We see no reason why the political
parties Of this country could not
purge themselves Of THEN black sheep
by putting them out OF their ranks,
through the simple method of select
ing worthier men to fill the offices.
If these independent men, who
loudly pirate OF their virtue and love
OF country, were men who had not
been either Office holders or Office
seekers themselves, we might believe
in the earneStness of such slogans,
which one hears in every county or
municipality in America.
Our plan is to point out the evil
dOer and the scoundrel who betrays
the confidence Of his party or the pub
lie, but not to sap at the unity OF po-
litical associations which are necessa-
ny to protect the masses in their
rights and liberties.
Nothing is achieved by disorganiz-
ed bodies. Every body, political or
other, fit desires success, must have
organization and discipline,
For instance, how would indepcn-
dentism work among the masonic fra
ternity or among religious orders?
What is the difference when politl.
cal parties are in question ?
Yet, we are open to conviction and
ready to believe in the earneStness Of
self-constituted patriots, especially
when their record shows that they
have never occupied public Offices,
nor been disappointed in trying to
Get some.

The much talked of Republican
caucus was not held Tuesday and the
meeting of the Senate was character
lied by the same general features as
all that have been held for q month
past. The most interesting incident
was an eloquent and elaborate reply
by Senator Jones, of Florida, to the
brutal assault of Mr.. Frye upon the
South. Mr.. Jones noticed specially
the offensive illusions to Florida. He
spoke from conviction, and with great
earnestness andrepresentative power.

There is no doubt that Frye, in his
bloody shirt speech, has made an ass
of himself. He is repudiated by the
Independent press of the North, and
most emphatically by the President
and the Administration. Mr. Blaine
says he is not responsible for this
TRADE. He does not control Frye.
The ambition of Mr.. Frye is to SUI
persede Blaine as the leader of the
party in Maine, and to be reelected
two years hence. Hence he is court
ing the extreme wing of the party.

came forward, and delivered the fol
lowing able, manly, expressive and
stirring address:
My friends and Fellow Countrynen Brethren of
Louisiana and Daughters OF the South:
We are met here to-day to strew the
flowers of spring over the graves of some
of our dead. Fair maidens are here with
early blossoms which typify the fra
GRANGE and beauty of their own young
lives; honored nations are here over
whose hearts has passed the crushing
wheel of the Juggernaut of war; and
the men are here who trod together the
winepress when it was red with the
blood of the nations. For what have
they come. Why are they gathered =!
Is it to decorate the graves of the Con-
federate dead'
Is this, my friends, an idle ceremony,
now that sixteen years have passed since
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-04-28

As have said so much, | may say
more. trust no one will imagine that
in what | have said | instill any counsel
of reprsal or revenge, of hatred or jeal-
ousy or animoslty. We have met much
cruelty, malignity and unjust and false
abuse since the war, enough to curdle ali
the milk of human kindness in your
hearts. 1t is the stock in trade OF u
great party. But so persuaded am OF
the divine origin of that doctrine OF love
and charity--of peace on earth and good
will to men-taught by our Lord and
Master, and that tell you here to-day,
in all the solemnity of this hour, not to
weary IN well doing; to go right on
straight forward-in the path OF truth
and public duty--and to prove by yon'
love of liberty, your devotion to the gen
eral interests of our mighty Union, thai
you are true Americans, and that onl
commonwealth is the peer of any in al
the constellation Of States, in patriotism
and in exalted and genuine loyalty.
Here, by the graves of your dead,
beseech you, cast away false pride ant
f ali the evil brood nt malignant passions
Remember the magna,inlity OF your he
roes. Cherish their virtues and initiate
their examples. In the sign of the cross
by the power of love, invigorate you
patriotism. Then will the beautiful
flowers, scattered on these lowly beds
bloom in wreath immortal. Then vii
the tears, here shed, shine as jewels in
crown fadeless and immortal.
In concluding his very appropriate
t remarks, Col. Johnston received til
applause of the audience, who ha'
, showed their appreciation of tn
speaker by giving him their closes
