Flags of the ConfedercY.

The Confedercy had four flags. by the
way, and not two, as is generally stated,
besides the various State flags carried
by some of the regiments. The familiar
''stars and bars was adopted in March,
1861, while the capital of the Confed-
eracy was still at Montgomery. and first
waved above the old State House in
Alabama. There were three horizontal
bars, two red and one white, with nine
white stars in a circle on a blue union
in the upper left-hand corner. This
was so much like the old gri,liron that
t led to confusion and mistakes in the
field, and in September of the same
gear battle flag was adopted-a red
dag with thirteen white stars displayed
in blue stripes crossing the red field
diagonally, the whole having a narrow
border In 1868 the ''stars and bars"
was supplanted by flag with a white
field. having the battle flag in the
corner for a union. and on the 4th Of
February, 1865. in order that this might
not be mistaken for flag Of truce, the
outer half of the field beyond the union
was covered with vertical red stripe.
This Was tho last flag of the Confed-
racy.--P P;!sL,.rgh Dispatch.

Harriet Beecher Stowe is now

tation Of laws arise after enactment.
"If the Interpretation given by the
court to a certain law is unsatis-
factory it is in the power Of the peo-
pie to obviate the difficulty by an
amendment thereto, or by changing
the statute. 1t is for this purpose
| that constitutions are made-that
J there may be stability in thegovern-
I ment which furnishes the funda-
mental law and that the varying
moods Of public opinion, the clamor
Of the populace or even public senti-
ment shall not affect the fundG-
mental law Of the land, and thus
leave us without any stable and un-
changing guide when the publ c
passions or the resentment of the
populace might carry the state out
upon a sea ofrevolutiOn, with only
passion for guide. Should the
constitution and the laws change as
rapidly as public opinion they would
both be liable to become oppressive
and uncomfortable.
1t is the duty Of the court to con-
strue rules, to give effect to the
intent Of the legislature, though
seeming violence is done to some of
the words employed. The intention
Of congress in using the word
citizen as found in the organic act,
is considered by the court as pertain
ing wholly to persons Of the mascu-
line gender, the object being to
exclude aliens from using the
elective franchise, and not extending
any particular powers to women.
1t never was intended that women
should be admitted as delegates to
the house Of representatives in con-
gress. The form Of every word in
the constitution Of the United Sta -
goes TO show that the officers pro-
vlded for therein shall be males.
The form OF every word in that re-
latlon is masculine. For thirty
years congress has understood the
meaning Of the word citizen, as far
as the privilege Of voting was con-
cerned, TO mean males only"
ain 1852, when this act was
passed, the word citizen was used
as u qualification for voting and
holding Office and in our Judgment
the word then meant and still signi-
fies male citizenship, and must be
80 construed. That the rule con-
tended for might be better we are
not called upon to determine. Con-
gress can confer the desired power
upon our Legislature, and we cherish
the hope that in the near future our
citizens will have an opportunity to
determine this question for a state
Of Washington. The Judgment of
the court below should be affirmed"

Letter From Louisiana.

, DEAR PICAYuNE:-lour familiar face each week brings as much joy as the visit of an old friend. How sad last week the news of the death of Mir. Bourland. of ROsston. Ad- versitv of late years had crossed his pathway. and while faithfully " at the post of duty; yet to me he looked pale and sad. No adverse wind can disturb him now. His family have my sympathy.
 How surprised to hear of the death of little Lucien Shell For two years had been visitor at his good mothers. and found Lucien to be a quiet. obedient and good boy. Oh, how sad. and what an ahliction to the family,
 We are comfortably domiciled in the preachers house. which is fur nished with almost everything in the way of housekeeping. The people are very kind. have only held three services, vet we have received in cash and donations about $50. Have two towns: one on the Shreveport and Nicksburg k. R., and the other on bayou Mason, which iS nayigable q part of the year. when boats make regular trips from New Orleans.
 The land here is rich, producing, the farmers say. a bale of cotton, and fifty bushels of corn per acre. Negroes. negroes. negroes. and whls- ky. whisky, whisky. As Weems says in the life of Gen. Francis Marion:
 "Ah, brandy, brandy, bane of life.
 Spring of tumult, source of strife,
 Could I but half thy curses tell,
 The wise would wish thee safe in he'll Both towns are wet ana II k Nei between the two.
 There k no pine timber here. TIT Plenty of cypress, hickory, ash hack berry, sweet gum, oak. dogwood.etc, all hanging with gray moss, from five 10 ten feet long.
 Gov. McEnery was an aspirant for the nomination again, hut was de- feated by Gen. Nichols. The Re- publicans have nominated Yarmouth. The State and parish elections come off in April. and as the national fol- lows in the fall. we anticipate q ySlr of excitement and political strife.

Thursday we took a jaunt to the City of Roses" on business. Found plenty of mud. and but little busi- ness going on. The paved portion of Markham street is a great improv- ment over those streets unpayed. All her streets should be paved.

We copy an article from the Chi cago Tribune, one of the biggist Re- publican papers of the West, on "The Reform Issue" It is thorougly in favor of tariff reform, as express ed in President Cleveland's late mes- sage, and proves the only hope for the twenty-nine agricultural states is in reducing the tariff. Other re- publican papers, including the Globe Democrat, are trying to read the Tribune out of the party for thus far endorsing Cleveland, but are not succeeding. to any alarming extent,
