Keep Your Shirt On.

The people OF Eiko are agitat-
ing themselves unnecessarily
about the proposed new road.
They need not be alarmed. It
will never be built and was never
intended to be. It is the old
game worked on a confiding legis-
lature four years ago when some
manipulations of the Great East,
secured a franchise and sold it for
$50, 900, to a line which wanted to
keep out competition.
This will in all probability go
the same way. If it does not, it
will astonish the inhabitants of
this State. In the future a law
should be passed, that all roads
taking franchise, should deposit
$40, 900 with the State as a guar
antee of good faith. Then if they
sold it, the commonwealth would
get some Of the swag.

SHALL 1T BE WAR.

FROM Une tone OF Inc dispatches
it is evident that the italian gov
eminent proposes to make the
new Orleans incident the cause
OF war with the United States.
While such an event is to be de-
plored, it is incumbent upon the
United States to meet their pro-
position on a basis that will leave
no reflection on the national hon
or or the national courage.
For many years the country
has been made the catch basin of
the spawn Of the European peni-
tentiaries, its asyluIus and its
Warehouses.
The wretches who were hung at
New Orleans, belong to an organ
ization of cut-throats and thugs,
liberated from italian prisons and
sent to America.
These men ought to have been
shot down like dogs the moment
they landed in New Orleans, had
had their real character been
known.
They started reign OF terror
in New Orleans. They Rreyed up
on the rich and poor.
They became so bold and num-
erous that sometimes wealthy
Italians in New Orleans were
paying blackmail to three differ
ent associations at once.
They levy a systematic tax on
every Italian vegetable and fruit
paddler, and in return protect
them from American competition.
II an American starts business
in Now Orleans in opposition to an
italian who is paying his monthly
tribute to the Malta, he receives a
mysterious death-head and cross
bones warning to quit, and does so
at once; knowing perfectly well
that il he does not, that his rela-
tives viii find him lying in a pool of
blood some morning, with knife
thrust between his shoulder
blades.
Now the Americans are a pa
tient and long suffering people, |
and will stand more than anybody |
else-up to certain point, after
that, look out.
When this infamous Malta !
society was transported to New
Orleans and systematic intimi-
dalton of American citizens began,
the Italian Government should
have been notified to recall these
wretches, or stand the conse-
quences.
1t is now recalling its Ministers,
but the country wants to see it re-
call its professional cut.throats,
and be pretty quick about it.
There is strong undercurrent
of Americanism in the United
States at the present time, and
now is about as coed time as
any to give vent to it, and we be-
ieve that a war with Italy on this
issue would be followed by COM
plete shutting down of the gates Of
Castle Garden, and European i'm
migration. We have enough
Americans here to run this coun-
try and we might as well begin to
impregnate Europe with the idea
that we do not want it's social and
criminal refuse on any terms.

contingent in the Mexican war. and
on May 3, 1861. by unanimous
vote rendered its services to the
President of the Confederate States
for the war. The Ave companies wero
mustered into tho Confederate service on
Sunday, May ,26th. and the next day four
departed for the seat of war, the fifth com
pany being left in New Orleans for recruit
inc and as n reserve. On March s, 1862, the
fifth company also took its departure and
the battalion, serving in the Virginia
Maryland, and Pennsylvania campaign,
participated in sixty principal battles and
bore its part with conspicuous bravery on
many well-fought field.
BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION FORMED.
After the war the surviving members
formed the Washington Artillery Benevo-
lent Association for the purpose Of assist-
ing their unfortunate and disabled COM
rades and of. erecting monument 10 the
memory OF those Killed In service. In Au-
gust, 1875 the pressing need of aState mill
t9ry force led TO reorganization Of the Ar
tillory battalion. IL was an independent
command until December, 1879, when il
was mustered into tho Louisiana National
Guard. Three years later it withdrew
from the State service and has since re-
nained an independent command.
THE BATriLIoN's HOME.
Some years ago the battalion purchased
the Southwestern Exposition building, a
substantial brick structure fronting on St.
Charles and Carondelet streets, between
GiTod and Julia The building was re-
modelled, and now contains on the ground
floor spacious quarters for each of the
companies of the battalion, offices for the
transaction of battalion business, armor-
ers' workshops, large drill and meeting
hall, and considerable space from which
forms one of the finest bathrooms and as
sembly- halls IN the city.
