poetieaI,
TRIP LIGHTLY.

Trip lightly over trouble
Trip lightly over wrong'
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long,
Why clasp woes hand so tightly
Why sing DER blossoms dead?
Fiwhy cling to forms unsihgtly ?
Why not seek joy instead !
Trip lightly over sorrow,
Though all the ways be dark,
The sun may shine tomorrow
And gaily sing the lark.
Fair hopes have not departed,
Though roses may have fled,
Then never be down-hearted,
But look for Joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stop not rail at doom,
We've pearls to string Of gladness
On this side of the tomb;
Whilst stars are nightly shining,
And the heavens is overhead,
Encourage not repining-
But look for joy instead.

The 0dious Internal Revenue Sys-
tenn.

1t is suggested that Of all the follies
and blunders of which the Forty-seyenth
Congress was guilty, of all it. numerous
sins Of commission and omission, the
most foolish and one Of the most fatal
politically, was its failure to abolish or
greatly reduce the internal revenue
taxes. We would amend the complaint
by saying that the refusal to change the
laws for collecting the revenue, so a. to
economic and simplify it, was the most
reprehensible. The Congress did reduce
the tax, but did not diminish the number
Of collectors, informcrs, detectives,
gaugers, and scribes, employedin collect
ing it, The aggregate cost of the service
amounts to about 100000 per annum.
1t il, however, put down to the credit
of the House Of Representatives that
it adopted an amendment to the Exec,
utiye, Legislative, and Judicial Appro-
priation bill, reducing the number Of
internal revenue collection districts TO
eighty. The amendment for some rea-
son was rejected by the Senate The
limit is now fixed at 1871 The next
Congress should abolish the whole ma
chinery, or failing in that, reduce the
number Of collectors to onc-ffth Of the
present division.
One thing is certain. The next Con
gress is pledged to substitute material
reforms in the internal revenue system
and the people will have especial cause
of complaint against the House of Rep
rcsentatives which will be largely under
the control Of the alleged Revenue Re
form party if it does not prove its
faith by its works in very substantial

Postmaster at New Orleans.

Pending the existing contest over the
Postmastership at New Orleans, it was
published that Governor Lowry was
conspicuous and active in behalf of Hon.
w. b. Merchant, the successful aspirant,
and inquiry has been made as to the
cause. We will answer that Mr., Mer-
chant is native of East Mississippi
smith county-~the son Of the late Rev.
James Merchant, Baptist minister who
lived near Raleigh, the county site, and
is kindly remembered for his estimable
qualities by the older citizens of that
region, some OF whom are nearly related
to him. When Robert Lowry was boy
to "fame and fortune unknown" strug-
Cling to make his way in the world, the
Rev. Mr.. Merchant was his warm friend.
In early life, the son, w. b. Merchant,
cmigratcd to Texas, and thence removed
to Louisiana, and acquired such promi-
hence at the bar as to be chosen District
Attorney. He drifted into the Ropubli.
can party, without however, becom-
ing specially Objectionable by advo-
eating the measures of tyranny and pro
scription which have made it odious to
most of the Southern white people. In
his late contest, Gov. Lowry found op-
portunity to repay the kindness of which
he had been the recipient in his boy
hood, and who will say that his course
was not Enthusiastically generous and
noble?

The Next Chancellor.

4 remark was made in our presence, a
short time ago, intimating that it was
supposed. or understood, that certain
gentleman in this Districtwould be APP
pointed Chancellor. Now, when we re-
member that this matter has scarcely been
spoken Of, If at all, publicly, the query
comes into our mind, about thus: Was
this matter farmed out during the last
campaign? Was Governor Lowry Undue
ed to sell the Office for some particular or
special services to be rendered by some
who were ready to sell their influence in
order that certain ends might be attain
Ell? There was no necessity, it seems to
us, for Gov. Lowry to promise, or inti-
mate, that he would bestow an office on
any particular person, in order to secure
his own election, and we would regret to
know that he had done so, unless he
could have known, Of positive certain
ty, that the appointment would prove
satisfactory to the people. No little
matter. Let it be discussed, and by 50
doing the people will know what is going
on; who are applicants for office, etc.,
and have an opportunity to name their
preferences discuss merits, etc. Let the
mantle be placed upon one whose expert
ence and acquaintance with the law
make him entirely competent to dis
charge the duties Of this important posi-
tlon with that ability necessary TO make
him worthy of the robe he wears
Corinth Sub-Soiler.
Nothing could be more unjust than
the above article from contemporary
which is usually moderate and conser-
yatiye. 1t will be seen that violent
presumption is predicated upon the
very fimsiest foundation. Somebody
has been heard to express belief
that somebody else would be appoint
ed Chancellor; and the suggestion is
propounded in the form Of a pointed
inquiry, "was Gov Lowry induced to
sell the Office" for some vague and unde-
fined purpose not explained by our con-
temporary. In order to put an end to
surmises and theories on the subject, we
feel authorized to assert in terms as
comprehensive as can be conceived, that
there is not the shade of shadow Of
ground for the imputation Of the Sub
Soiler. There is no man, nor the friend
of any man. in any judicial District, who
can say that the Governor has ever
promised or remotely intimated that he
would confer upon him the office of
Chancellor, or any other Office whatever.
He accepted the nomination for Gov
ernor untrammelled by pledges or obliga-
lions Of any sort, with perfect freedom
to follow the dictates of his conscience
and judgment in making appointments.
He has not forecasted them by the
slightest intimation, and is not response
bic for the opinions or surmises that
persons may choose to indulge.

Tom Ooniltrse's Case Fairly Stated.

St Louis Republican: In arguing the
question as to the right of the national
government to withhold a congressman's
salary under certain circumstances,
brought on by the Ochiltree affair, the
prime facts in the case and the rules of
common sense seem TO have been en-
tirely lost sight of. The case stands
thus: Ochiltree was United States mar
shall in Texas. At the expiration of his
term Of Office there was deficiency in
his accounts with the government of ten
thousand dollars, which it seems, has
never been paid, Now Ochiltree comes
to the national treasury for his wages as
congressman. The fact of whether a
congressman is a state or ma tional Office
cuts no figure in the case-the national
government is the party to whom he
looks for hismoney. If he owes the gov
eminent ten thousand dollars it would
seem that the government has the right
to withhold any sum up to that amount
which may be due him, no matter for
what service. If A owes B two dollars
and refuses to pay, and B gets hold Of
one dollar Of AS money, common sense
dictates that he should hold on to it
and generally does so. What is justice
for the individual is justice for the ma
tiOu

CAPT. EADs, who lately resigned as u
member of the Mississippi River Com
mission, demonstrated that from the
mouth Of Red River by way of the pres
ent channel of the Mississippi river, it is
nearly twice as far as by the Atchafalaya
channel, and hence the current in the
short route to the sea is Just so much
more rapid and correspondingly increased
erosive power The Atchafalaya in the
past dozen years has increased in depth
and carrying power until from small
bayou fordable by horses it is now a
river 1900 feet wide and 100 feet deep.
and constantly growing in volume.
Capt Eads made a strong argument to
induce the Commission to adopt imme-
diate and vigorous measures to arrest
the tendency of the river to leave its
present channel and take to Atchafalaya,
but his advice was not accepted. The
consequences of such DETECTION of the
river would be fatal to New Orleans and
the immense interest dependent upon it.
