day. why is it that your southern
youth don't seem to catch on to their
opportunities? They come sometimes
to our country and do well and stand
well. At home, they have the hest
places and the surest posts and the
ways to certain wealth for these who
can use their opportunities, to be filled
by trained northern people. While
they starve at law and medicine or fill
clerkships northern people are coming
down to occupy posts where thrifty
northern young men will reap fortunes
and marry your best women for their

THE BREWSTER HoM1c1DE,


tragedy that occurred in the Mascot
Office at New Orleans on the 18th
inst, and express regret that a val
liable citizen is lost in the death of
Robert Brewster, it seems to us the
bounden duty of all good and law
abiding citizens, who desire peace
instead of turmoil, to condemn in
severe terms the style of journalism
practiced by the N. 0. Nascot.-
That paper has been a veritable
fire. brand on the social surface, ir-
ritating and influencing the temper
of any and every person, regardless
of sex or condition, against whom
its venom may be directed. Its
intlammatory abuse Of many good
and respectable citizens has been
tolerated so long, unrestrained by
law or public opinion, that no
mans character, public or private,
is safe from its wanton assault.
The law of libel should have been
invoked, both in civil and criminal
courts, long ago, to suppress its in
cendiary influence. The Mascot
has accomplished nothing good for
the community in which it circu-
lates. If it desired or intended to
appoint itself public censor or con-
science-keeper, to expose and re-
form public abuses, the better
