One OF the most mis,hievous practices connected
with the admI Illustration of our government is
that which has grown up in late years of pro-
noting men who are on the eve OF being retired,
In conformity with the requirements OF existing
laws, In order that they may draw higher pay for
the remainder OF their lives. This proceeding is at
direct Variance with the genius OF republican in
stitutions, ana In its effects nothing less than a
gross imposition upon the tax paying people OF
the country. The Senate has the means OF stop-
ping these abuses, and it should exercise its
wholesome prerogatiye by resolutely refusing here
after to confirm appointments or promotions OF
this class

1t is satisfactory to know that Mr.. Scoyille has
at last reached the conclusion that 1t will On
the whole be best for the country that Guiteau
should be hung, for then. as he says, ''there
would be a reyulSiOn in public feeling, and
Gulteau would do the country the great service of
bringing about revision of the laws to protect the
insane" The country will have no difficulty In
agreeing with Mr.. ScOvilleS conclusions, whether
It adopts his reasons therefor or not The hanging
OF Guiteau will certainly go good way hereafter
towards protecting innocent and unSuspecting peo-
pie from the numerous assaults of the insane, or
those who claim to be so for the time being. II it
sane, then everybody ought to be willing to see
him strung up without delay. In no other way
could he possibly do so much good.
Thanks to the Cuyier Club, of Cincinnati, a fell
low was arrested and imprisoned i'm that city last
week for killing robins and exposing them for sale,
In violation of law. 1t is pity there is not law
In Washington for the protection Of song and in
secttyerOuS birds, and like club or organization
TO see to its enforcement Here robins and all sorts
OF song and insect devouring birds are constantly
Killed and exposed for sale in our markets and on
our Streets while the useless and pestilent little
sparrow seems to be protected, either by legal
actment or by common consent. This condition OF
things ought to be reversed. VIII not some public
spirited person kindly discover that brOiled SPAR
row on toast is a good thing, and that a sparrow
pot-pie Is feast for the gods, and then offer a
handsome premium TO the boy who shall bring the
longest string into market :?

mild-mannered manipulation can easily demon

project too, outside OF engineering diagrams and
tables OF prospective profits. The building of it
would afford some fine pickings for the boys; when
finished IL would do away with the nasty sea-sick
features of trip between the two countries; and,
being always In plain sight, the English could
watch the advance OF the French, and, at the
right moment, knock the under-pinning from the
concern, and drop the whole invading force into
the hungry sea John Bull ought to send for Eads
BY all means.

One OF the most curious things IN the newspaper
literature Of the present day is the fierce OppOsi-
tion shown by certain English journals to the
French proposition To construct a Railway tunnel
under the English Channel from Calais to Dover.
Labored articles, columns in length, are published
every week against the project, which the limo
cent reader is asked 10 believe to be one or the
most wicked and dangerous that was ever con-
cefved. The measure is opposed not, as might be
supposed because IL is regarded as impractcable,
useless, or too costly but solely on the ground OF
public safety. It is seriously and elaborately
argued that the tunnel once opened would increase
the chances OF hostile invasion of English soil by
France! Any one but tlick-headed Briton would
want no better trap for an invading foe than to
get him in an underwater tunnel some twenty
miles In length, with little corps OF sappers and
miners at one end OF It, The predicament in which
Paraoh and his hosts found themselves was nothing
compared TO the fix in which the Invaders could
be placed in consequence. Yet Johnny Bull per-
ststenly refuses to take this view of the case, and
stutbornly insists that the work shall not be done,
for the reason stated above, no matter how much
benefit 1t might be before war occurs between
the two countries.

Senator Germans star as the political Napoleon
OF Maryland seems to be under temporary cloud
Through the detection of Mr.. George Cotton,
trusted ally, Mr. Germans candidate for police
commissioned for Baltimore city defeated in the
legislature and further disaster to the Senator's
supremacy Is predicted from the fact that Mr. Col
ton has gone over to the Whyte opposition to him.
Still Mr.. German has good deal of recuperative
power in him and he may yet astonish hts adver-
saries who are now dancing over what they sup
pose TO be his political grave by rising up like the
Irish gentleman told OF in song, and refusing
TO be dead. The cause OF the unpleasantness be-
tween MeSSrs- Cotton and German is said to be be-
cause the former had learned that the Senator did
not intend to keep his promise to make him presi-
dent OF the Chesapeake Ohio Canal company.

The North Louisiana journal, re-
ferring to the proposed return Of j.
Ross Stewart, a somewhat notorious
colored politician, says:
This mulatto scoundrel is directly
responsible for all the troubles in 1875.
We have had enough of negFoTule. 1t
seems to be a fatality attaching TO the
Republican party, that Whenever re-
mote hope exists for its success, such
men as Ross Stewart appear in the
front, to recall TO the mind of the pub
lie all the horrors and shameful de-
bauchery that characterized the domi-
nation of the carpet baggers and ne
groes in the Southern States. With
the national Republican party We have
no quarrel. President Arthur has been
wise, inst and generous toward the
South; for this we are grateful, but
our gratitude does not extend to turn
ing over our local governments to ig-
norant and vicious political tramps.
We cannot and will not stand it.
The Journal uses strong language,
but doubtless the subject is one that
admits Of it-possibly requires IL. IT
is worse than folly to talk of the peo-
pie of Louisiana submitting quietly to
the dietations of the radical party
composed as it is in this state almost
wholly of people foreign to the soil
and the ex-slaFes of those who have
made Louisiana All the federal pa
tronage combined cannot achieve this,
unless they should resort to bayonet
rule, and even then the attempt would
be met with stubborn, uncompTomising
resistance resistance that could not
long be successfully combatted Every.
dollar expended by Northern Republi-
cans in the vain effort to add Louisiana
to the states under their control, is
simply thfoWn away. We do not mean
to be ruled By a party foreign to our
country, if il is possible to avoid it..
And more than this, the people Of
Louisianado notintend long W be rep
resented at Washington By other than
a Democratic delegation.

AT San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday
night last, Jack Harris, a noted char
acter, was killed by Ben Thompson,
city marshal of Austin. Harris was a
gambler, and Notwithstanding the fact
that he was thoroughly bad man,
welded political influence second TO
no citizen of the place. He was proud
of his reputation Of being among the
most desperate men in the state. The
character of Thompson differs but lit
tie from that Of his victim, with the
exception that he never boasts of his
courage. 1t is perhaps not saying too
much TO state that there is not an off
Ger in the state who would attempt his
arrest if they anticipated resistance.
Harris makes not less than the twelfth
man killed by Thompson since the
war, and be has in every instance been
tried and cleared on the plea of self
defense. His usual good fortune is
not likely to desert him now. lie is
an unusually handsome man of about
thlrty-siX years of age.

6ES. HANcocK for the presidency in

be chosen as The standard bearer Of
the dominant party. Thos. A. Hem

cratic nomination, can lead bis party
to victory. VIII the Democrats nomi-
nate him, or will they again take UP
an imaginary hero, and expect the pee
pie to rally around him2 Whena can
didate for the vice=Presidency, Hem
bricks carried bis state, Indiana, BY a
handsome majority, a result that has
never been attained by the Democracy
since. The world has acknowledged
that Tilden and Hendricks were hon
estly elected president and yice-presi-
dent Of the United States. Isn't it
fair to presume, then, there being but
little or no change in the political con
dition and surroundings of the two
great parties, that Hendricks is capa-
bic of accomplishing now what he did
then. He has lost none Of his personal
popularity, but by his diguifed, states
manlike course, has added to ii. We
assert, and feel that our judgment is
not at fault, that if there is a man in
the party who could defeat the RePub-
liean nominee, whoever he may be, it
is Thos. a. Hendricks. Hendricks of
Indiana, and Cox of New York. would
be a presidential team utterly ineapa-
bic of defeat.

The Louisiana State Press association
assemblies in convention at Alexandria,
on Tuesday, the 18th inst The main
object sought to be attained by these
reunions is the adoption of universal
system of conducting business, with
regard to a scale of prices etc, and to
direct the sphere of journalism to that
standard of perfection and purity to
which every journalist should aim. As
an educator Of the mind Of both young
and old, we regard the clean newspaper
second 70 none except the Book Of
books. Then how important it is that
public journalist should set an ex-
ample worthy of imitation by the rich
and the poor, the young and the old,
the great and the small and the wise
and the ignorant. Let our press asso
Citations all over the land bave for
their object the elevation 10 higher
moral and christian standard of the
profession, and our word for it, based
upon the experience of the best edu-
Gators of the world, they will succeed
in filling the nobIest mission ever in
augurated by any sect, society or creed
