One of the arguments of the
gold bugs is, that silver does not
circulate, and that the wants of the
people do not require it. Yet in
the months Of October, November
and December last, nine and a halt
millions of dollars were drawn from
the Mint in New Orleans to supply
the wants Of the neighboring PEG
pie.
Let that amount be distributed
every once in a while throughout
Louisiana and if there is anybody
to be hurt, we will favor the suspen
sion of silver coinage forever and
forever:

There has been quite a sensation
down the Bayou above aud below
Racelsnh, that has not been very
pleasant to some Of the parties in
terested.
Some of the light fingered gentry
have been making visits, without
being Invited, aud at unreasonable
hours.
On Wednesday January 20 ulti

0. TOups and obtained e4.6O on
Friday, January 2S, they paid q
visit to the home of Mr. Oscar LIE
pipe where they secured els 90,
and obtained a good square meal
out Of his cupboard, and also visi
ted the residence of Richard Foret.
On Saturday they made q call
on Mr.. Jos. Molaison, aud Mr..
Emile Toups, and also entered the
residence OF Cyprien Guitroz where
they secured a gold watch, which
indicated that it was time to halt
for that night. After resting
quietly, on Sunday, they entered
the dwelling of MI. J. d. Moore
and obtained $500 fortheir trouble
1t is thought that chloroform was
used by the robbers, as in no in>
stance was any one disturbed by
these nocturnal visitOrs. Nor has
any clue to the villains been discov
cred.
Since writing the above we learn
that they broke into Harspg's
house, on Wednesday night, where
they were met by a volley of shots
that caused them to leave, without
much ceremony.

A weather prophet of the name
OF Devoe, who lives up somewhere
in New Jersey il gaining power as
a prophet OF i'll omen.
He predicted several weeks in al
vance that there would be terrific
cyclones in Charleston and Savan
nah on the coast of the Alta, tic
which came on time, turning things
upside down, and astonishing the
natives generally.
\ month ortwo ago he predicted
that ii cold blizzard would spring
up in Montana on February , INST.
and sweep Over Texas and Louisi
ana, and the blizzard came rafting
around our heads about As hours
later in good earnest.
How he calculates these things
is rather mysterious but it must be-
admitted that if it is all guess work.
he is a remarkable adept in the art
of guessing.

of the dense forests Of the past az
she herself was a memorial OF past
generations who have known and
respected her many virtues and

STATE PRIDE VERSUS PAR
TY STRIFE.

Loyalty to conviction always com
'pels respect, and we cannot but ad
mire ar earnest partisan even when
he champions error; but there is a
degree and kind of partisanshipzea zeal
ouSly pursued by several Louisiana
newspapers that hasnOt one redeem
ing feature to commend it to toler
ance. We mean that carping splr
it that Z e no good in anything
Done by any official Of the State
government ; every act OF Gov. Nc
Enery's administration, whether
good or bad, meets with the same
denunciation as though the ource
itself polluted ii.
There is no justice in this it de
feats it's own end by the lack of dis
elimination, and at home does but
little harm and no good but abroad
it is a potent instrument of mischief,
and we feel the recoil every now
and then, when some cormOrant of
the Northern press scissors out Of a
Louisiana paper some vile SANDER
of our State and holds it up as IRE
tntable testimony of our sad and
sunken condition warning away
migration and capital that more pa
triotic efforts have been expended
to induce.
These bolts, forged ont of a bound
less hate, may hurt a political enc
my but they inhict a deeper and
deadlier wound upon our State, de
fling with another stain our fair
fame, already too much furnished,
by the SANDER of those whose first
duty it should DO to protect it.
|. 1t will not do to say that the evil
is deep rooted and that vigorous
remedies are necessary to eradicate
it. Where gross abuses and bad
government prevail it is the duty
of the press to assaii both, and keep
Oh assailing them until the wrong
is corrected, but no such concern
for the public good animates these
partisan journals it is a crusade of
hate undertaken in a partisan spir
it against Individuals, the injustice
of which is made manifest by a to
tai absence of discrimination.
Our State Government may not
he the best under the sun our
school and levee systems may be
susceptible of improvement our
judiciary may not always compass
the e2ds of justice !; but we do know
that our State securities have grad
ually advanced in value, while tax
alton has been reduced; that our
levees and schools are in better con
dition that at any previous time
since the war, and that punishment
tor crime is as certain here as is DOS
sible under a jury system that in
every panel has a large preponder
ence of ignorance.
Let us be grateful for the good
that we enjoy and turn at least our
best side to tho world.-Aecension
