In speaking Of the Tariff Issue, it
says:

itself to correct the inequalities of
the tariff am6 to reduce the surplus,
not by an indiscriminate process,
but by such methods as will relieve
thetax payer without injuring the la
borer or the'great productive inter

That is very pretty, and reads
admirably we'll. But the trouble is
that the inequalities of the Tariff

admirable system which the Repub

for Is years.

WHATARE WE TO DOT

The practicability and advisable
ty of closing Bayou Lafourche is .
question that has elected discus
sion for many years.
When one calculates the immense
benefits derived from it as a navi.
gable stream, upon which transpor
tatiOn for all the necessities of the
people, required for their labors,
industries, and food, is obtained !:
the vast amount of coal, booppoles,
lime, sand, &C., that floats fromlthe
Western rivers to the purchasers
doors, the means of transportation
it affords for the agricultural pro-
ducts grown upon its banks, it
would appear that the closing of
the stream near the river wOnld
strike q fatal blow at the residents
on that stream.
Were it closed, the evils result.
ing from a loss Of a fine navigable
stream could he partly avoided by
the construction of railroads, a sys
tenn Of which could shortly, over
come the loss, and even expedite
transportation OF merchandise to
and from the lands on either side
of the said stream.
With the exception of such pro.
ducts as float down the river. as
coal, sand hoop poles &C., there
need he no extra handling, as the
goods loaded upon the cars would
be carried direct to their destina-
ton.
Locks might, perhaps, he made
at DonaldsonviIle, by which coal
and other fiat boats might
be admitted into the Bayou with
bheir loads. Even if their CONTENTS
had to be handled, modern skill
has become so great that the re.
nOval of a boat load of merchan
lise would he but u small tax upon
Is value.
Were the Bayou permanently
closed at the river, the Lafourche
be used for navigation pur-
'oscs, all the year round.
There being only from IL to IS
nches fall between tide water at
i'll and at the mouth
f theIBayou, at the Gulf of Mexico,
OF more than one lock would be ne
to maintain a perpetual
epth Of water therein for naviga-
ON.
When the expenses. of the resi-
ents on the Laforrche ridge, an
incurred for the building
nd repairing Of Levees, added to
IL losses, sustained by crevasses
Il either side of the Bayou, are
properly, they would be

Another point may as we'll be

Every Louisianian advocates the

CIScTkSATI, May THE Enquirer this
morning publishes the following dispatch
from Chicago:
CHIckso May 6.-Judge George W. Goth
ran satNorking a typewriter in his office
this morning as a reporter stood BY. Yes,
he said, as he looked up pleasantly from his
work, Il have been East, and have seen Mr..
Tilden. We have been friends for nearly
thirty yesrS. We had an afer-dinner tall"
Did he say whether he was candidate
or not
"My1ea sir, he has said from the first,
most emphaticaily, that he was not can
didate, Al candidate is person seeking
office This Mr. Tilden is not doing"
Buff he was nominated BY acclama-
tionY
''0h, That is another thing entirely. In
that esse no one except Mr.. Tilden knows
what vill happen. He has never told hu-
man being whether he would consent to run
or not in that event. Whatever has been
said in regard to that has been mere guess
WORK.
'Willhe be nominated?
"Bv acclamation. There is no doubt Of
it. New York is solid for him. The dele
gatioH VIII vote as unit. Illinois is the
same. y elorrison, although mentioned for
the place, would undoubtedly vote for Mr..
Tilden. The talk about his great infrmity
is nonsense. He is an old man and rather
feeble, it is true, but the palsy of the hands
is the most noticeable feature, and that is
far more disagreeabie than dangerous. His
health and appetite are excellent. When
he ran for Governor years ago the Republi-
cans said he would not live through the
campaign, They talk the same way now,
but he's the liveliest corpse I've ever seen.
"How is the feeling in other States about
him.?
Enthusiastic. His nomination is sure"
who will be with him on the ticket?
A Western man. He will come from
Illinois. Indiana, Ohio or Wisconsin.
"Who is he?'
But the Judge seemed to close one eve,
as he smiled and shook his head.
1t is generally understood that Mr.. Goth
ran went to Gramercy Park to ascertain
whether Mr.. Tilden would consent to run in
case OF his acclamatory nomination here in
July, and it is said that he received that
assurance. The Democrats are said to be
rejoicing at the success of Mr.. COthrans
visit and that the lriquois and other fac
tons are are now laying the necessary wires
to keep the untcrrifed delegates within the

CAN THESE THINGS BE ?
An Alleged Trade Between Blaine and
Gresham.

Gresham.
WASHINGTON. Nav Some rather sing
ular rumors of a political nature are floating
about the Capital Just now. One is that
Mr.. Blaine has visited Judge Gresham in
person to propose an alliance which would
make the latter the Republican nominee at
Chicago. Your correspondents informant
will not permit himself to be quoted, but
declares that he has personal knowledge of
the truth of the statement The visit is said
to have occurred about four weeks ago. Mr..
Blaine was driven to Judge GreShams resi-
dence in the evening, and there proposed to
strike hands for mutual interest in Chicago.
Believing that he could not be nominated
himself but could dictate the nominee he
formally offered his influence to Judge
Gresham if the latter would promise him the
position Of Secretary Of State in the event of
his nomination and election. The story
goes that the Judge cOurteously regretted
that he Was unable to entertain the proposal
Of coalition. If the story be true, il is rea-
souable to suppose that Mr. Blaine does not
regard the termination of his visit in the
light OF an improvement of his prospects.

NEW York. May Seven years ago
Jacob Freurd obtained nearly $4,000 worth
of goods under false pretenses from various
business men in Brooklyn and left for Ger,
many. Five weeks ago he returned and
settled with some of his victims, but last
week he was arrested in New York, on
complaint of Adolph Choen, a jeweller,
charging him with obtaining of watch,
chain and locket worth $l7j, prior to his
European trip, for which he failed to pay.
He was taken before Justice Walsh, who
held him on the charge of larceny, until
Friday for examination
