I desire thgt my body shall be aced near that of my father, pend g the tiihe when they shall both , transported to where the founder f our house reposes in the midst of ie French -people, whom we have, he him, dearly loved. 3. My last thought will be for my ountry. It is for France that I ,ould wish to die. 4. I hope that my mother will pre erve for me, when I am no more, the ifectionate memory which I shall herish for her until my last mo nent. 5. Let my private friends, my ser rants, and the partisans of the cause which I represcnt,.be convinced that my acknowledgments toward them will only end with my life. 6. I shall die with a sentiment of the profoundest gratitude toward her Majesty, the Queen of England, to ward all the royal family, and to ward the country where I have re ceived, during eight years, so cor dial a hospitality. I constitute my well beloved me ther, the Empress Eugenic, my sole legatee, she being charged with at tending to the following legacies: I leave 200,000 francs to my cou sin, Prince J. N. Murat. I leave 100,000 francs to M. F. Pi etri, in gratitude for-his good servi ces. I leave 100,000 francs to M. le Ba raon Corvisart, in acknuwledgment of his devotion. - I leave 1I,064 ff1ics to Mile. de Lerminat, hbothQ Ways shown herself .oa d yd tohny mother.

I desfreý to leave to Prince N. Charles Bonaparte, to the Duke de Ui:ssnno, and to M. Rouher, three of the mostiboutiful snuvenirs that my testament executors shall indi cate. I desire to leave also to Gen. Sim mons, to M. Strode, and to Mons. Goddard three 'souvenirs that; my testamentary executors shall desig nate among the urtieles of value that belong to me.

D'Entraigues a pin mounted with a fine pearl, round in form, which was given me by the Empress.

I leave to Mine. la Comtesse Clary my pin 'mounted with a fine clear pearl; to the Due de IIuescar, my cousin, my Spanish swords. NAPOLEON. The whole of this is written by my own hand. I have no need to recommend my mother to neglect nothing in order to defend the memory of my great uncle and of my father, I beg her to remember that so long as there shall be Bonapartists the imperial cause will have representatives. *The duties of our house toward the country will not cease with my life. At my death the task of continuing the work of Napoleon I. and Napol eon III. devolves upon the eldest son of Prine Napoleon, and I hope that my well beloved mother, in second ing him with all her power will ghve us who shall be no more this last and supreme proof of her affection. NAPOLEON. The 26th day of February, 1879, at Chiselhurst, I nominate Messrs. Roaher and F.t Pietnr executors ot my will. (By F. Pietri I mean Fnchoesphini Pietri.) -BOB Ingersoll says the black_ man must go north, where there is fresh nii. Thiit is tbout what he I will have to live oi if he does come. i - [Bioton Post. e e WAIRMOTIISMJ TRIlUIMPIANT. s The Constitutional Convention of Louisiana has just endorsed the War moth and Kellogg administrations with all their usurpation and bogus financial operations. Bonds that c were issued for some fictitious pur LS pose and sold at a disgraceful dis count, that their proceeds might be e distributed among politicians and ]- their accomplices, are now sancti h moniously saddled on the people of r Louisiana as a debt of honor. The )f present action of the Convention 0, makes it a debt of dishonor. If a legitimate government of the people Y had been guilty of all this villainy, the people certainly would have been responsible for their frauds, because they could have risen in their indig c nation and rid the State House of such vermin. But what chance had Louisiana to do such a thing? She was a captive chained and bound. She dared not cast off the usurpa C tions that, in the name of the gov. ' ernment, were ruining and disgra n cing her. Her people were power less before the army of the United States, sent here to rivet her fetters r and to sustain the organized robbery which sectional hatred had awarded to her as a punishment. Yet a Constitutional Convention, composed principally of white men, Democrats, puts the seal of volun tary endorsement on this whole chap e ter of outrage. Wrong endured is a misfortune; wrong sanctioned and ratified by its victims is worse than a disgrace-it is an infamy. Who have done this deed? Of course, it was well understood that the Repub licans in the Convention could be easily persuaded to vote for the rec ognitition of all the bonds just as they stood; but what of the Demo cratic members? After sixty days e of preliminary activity enough Dem Socrats are found to unite with the negro party and carry the measure. The names of these members are be fore the public; it is not probable that they will ever be before the i public again in any official capacity. ' This is the last sting of negro rule in this State. Henceforth it may be expected that so degraded an ele ment, as it inevitably must be in government, will be excluded from " arenas which it covets only as so a many opportunities of selling its po litical functions. And so, if per chance the gentlemen who have on this occasion fraternized with that " element should, by some inscrutible * ill fortune to the State, come into C legislative positions again they will 1 not, at least, have Africa as a base Y of operations from which to make at tacks upon the public welfare. They have now but one step fur ther to go, and we hope they will not 3" flinch from taking it. They cannot Y sink themselves any lower in popu lar displeasure, so they may as well Lt reconsider and repeal the action lim iting taxation to five and ten mills. - Their job is incomplete without it, o and the bondholders' newspaper or ; gans demand it. These organs from n the insolent tone of bull-dozing for merly employed by them, have now Y become very complimentary in their h estimates of the Convention. From being a gang of thick-skulled dolts Sand penniless beggars, its members * suddenly become in the opinion of , these editorial school masters a set C of right good boys. They are pet ted and patted and, to some extent, pitied. The editors aforesaid con a descend on their olympian heights: C (between drinks of Ihger) to be a lit tIle sorry for having castigated them 4 Sso severely. ." o But let tihe negro coalition beware; 1it must repeal the tax restriction. r Republican editors of Democratic 'papers, like other Republicans, al ways were and always will be op Y posed to any limit whatsoever on r taxation. Taxation! Why it is the Y soul of politics, it is the very pap on which Southern Republicanism ex. ists. The papers may be amiable y to-day, but these dictatorial scrib. blers (at $15 a week) are uncertain y chaps in their tempers. Hurry up, r gentlemen, with your repeal before t the demi-gods of. the inkstand get r mad again. e We earnestly favor the repeal, too, I so that the infamy about to be em - balmed in a Constitution will be the a more overwhelmingly rejected by an .outraged and betrayed people. We g want the vote to be so one-sided that not all the ingenuity of returning of a ficeers can count it out of sight--The t Morning Star and Catholic Messen. Sger. S--Warn Benjamin Franklin was an editor he was in the habit of wri ring to the young ladies who sent in poetry, saying, in honeyed language, 'that, owing to the crowded state of Shis columbns, etc., he would endeavor to circulate thqir productions in *manuscript. And then he tied the poems to the tail of his kite for "bobs." I -IT is little troubles that wear the heart out. It is easier to thirow a hombshell a mile than a fcathcr- even with artillery. t 1879 1879 ~ EVERY DESCRIPTION EXECUTED WITH , 0 NEATNESS & DISPATCH o - AT - SFAIR PRICES FOR CASH ONLY!
