C., September 9, 1876. ii EaIrrogCu1IEF: Among the prominent men who t have been estranged from the Repub- f lican party for the past few years, i but who became convinced of the d perils involved in a restoration of ,1 Democracy to national control, by v their experience as members of the u session of Conugress recently adjourned, are ex-Speaker Banks, Representa- t tive Seelye and Senator Booth ; and t they are each showing their faith by a their works in the most convincing manner, by their earnest labor in be- t halfof the national Republican ticket. Every doubt as to the purposes of the a Democratic party, dominated tas it is I by the Southern wing, must be dis sipated when the course of the last I Congress is carefully analyzed in con nection with the savagely atrocious i utterlances of the Democratic press, and the character of the nominees of I Democratic conventions, both North and South. The history of Congress, I from the day of convening il Decent ber to the date of its welcome adjourn ment, is known by all initelligent i Ameriean citizens. It was a continu oils effort froln first to last to anull all the legislation rendered necessary by the reconstruction of the late slave States on the basis of a republican form of government for each, anid to restore thetl andl the enlancilpaated slaves as niealy- as possible to theiri anlte-bellumi status. The intrloduiction of Southern claims growilg lut of the e war, to the aimoiiunlt lof slaome hulndred million dollars, with lino sign of dis approval ftrioi any Demnlocalratic menll her, Inmust be consildered a part of the prograirue anid i foretaste of the ex actions of tlihe Sonlth in case olf D)eai cira';tic sai.prelaaiay. Not one evidence of regret for their plast tcrasonl ts called the lipe s of a Soutllherlln mienitber duiiiig the session ; buit ino olpportu nity was lost to glorify the Conflederacy and the origina tors of secession. The hundreds of papersCi receive'd in this city froum that section testify, have4 never, since the war, bteei as defiant towards tilhe goverllainent as at pres eut. With few exceptions tlhey either iginore or approtve Sittinag Bull Buit ler's slaughlter it Hamlburg abouind in the vilest epithets and aisnine charges agaiinst .epuililicatas every whliie; il idliule the ehrts made ill Conigress to jproavidle by a col.stitn tiounl aanendiament against the relent less hostility of a portioiln, at least, of their party ; declare against any tol erationl of schools " for aiggers," ol the existenlce of white or collored Re plublicansa in the South ; and justify the daily murder of them, incited aby their teachings, and hold that it is thy duty of evely "'true Soutlhron " to screen the iaperpetrators of these savage butcheries. An examinatiou of the record of.t Demncwratic con ventions held this year, reveals the fact that no man without a Confederate war record has found t .any grace in the eyes of Southern v delegates, Tilden and Hendricks ex cepted ; and in northern conventions e of that. party, in almost every case, only those who rendeted themselves most detested by and repugnant to loyal men by their sympathy with the rebellion and their tacit approval of the starvation of Union prisoners, have been selected standard bearers. Even in New York State, where they were largely indebted to the Liberal Republicans for their victory in 1874, the cry goes up that no one is to be placed on guard in this centennial year but life-long Democrats; Mr. Dorsbelmer has been snubbed on all hands, .a3 d a demand is now made that lie give way to som e one whose i Iourbonisim can not be questioned. Tilden'* perjury, which remains unchallenged; the iasco of the empire Democracy at their Saratoga conven tion and the crnshing news from Ver mont have completely unmanned the Democratic imliticians who are tenm porarily residing here to supervise the camnpaign work arrined on from this point. The vialums of a plethoric treasury, and a huudred thousand Ifedern offices waiting for ex-rebel and copperhead incumbents, which have mocked and tantalized them for lo these mnoSy years, are rapidly pass ing from thq4ield of ,heir observatiou, and they begin to realize th.at dry" husks are about all they are justified in expecting from the present outlook. Some are so unfeeling as to advise themt to hibernate on the crow they I have eaten during the past two r months, for the .tiur years of Presi- a dent Hayes' administration; and then c organize a new party in sympathy c with the progress and achievements I of the nineteenth century. Indeed I many Republicans and other friends e of free institutions, as embodied in r the Constitution of the United States, now advocate a little change in the plan of the campaign, so as to insure t the utter annihilation of this political f party whose practices ald traditions f all point backward to the ages of I barbaric rule. The Attorney General receives the hearty commendation of intelligent patriots folr the moderate yet explicit instructions given to United States Marshals and other officers who are likely to come in contact with the spirit of Ku-Kluxism in the South between this and November. There does not appear to be one objection able line or word in thenm to law abid ing citizens, whatever their party pre dilections may be. Of course, lie is abused and villified by those hoping for a united Sonthi flo Tilden through the interposition of thie "' rifle clubs " I now so nuimerous throughout the Resideuts of our city are tej.iced at the progress in clearing off the old wood pavieimeLt froi P'ennsylvani Va n Avenue lpreparatoriy to hlayving a new one of concrete.

[4 I plousas Journal.] Corn has beent greatly damlagetd by tihe weevil, during the elieilt sill inter. \We have heard two pllans here toeoie to kee-) it f1're4 firomlI 11evil. One was to crib thie corn with the hnllucks daip from ia heavy dew olr a light showlc"r of 1;in ; the other wLas to sprinkle at little silt over each load Iof corn as it iwas put ill thie crib. The heatiOi nig pocss Io the dampiili shuicks, we sippitSl , destiroys the eggs of the weevil, ulnld thereby saves the cmo it floln its ravage;i but it is inot alwians coniivenlielit for the f;larer to crib his cornll with the d.4w on it, olr wait oii the ulncertaitt y otf a light shonwer of ailn. Salting is ii giooid plan, and it tmakes hoirse alld cattle eat the shucks miiore greedily ; but cor'n iiteiided for mlieal does not shell well wheln salted, as the dlliiunlleSs fioll the ll t lllake it stick to the cob. As the tinme is near at handl when corn will be Ilarvestel, we give l au other remledy for preseT.rvinllg Icorn fromli i cevil; iandi it i probiably a bettlr onelit than either of thile above, aind costs nothiig. A c. oiresplndeit of the eoultthleta ('ultirator for Septemllber, fromi St. Maurice, La., gives it, as I. flin •* " When I get ready to gather corn, I first cleaiinise the crib of all trash and dirt, scaltl the floor and walls thor onglly, then gather a cart load of < Jerusailleml oak weed (Chenopodiuin an tlu'lminticuat) which grows in abllund alce about the tfeice corners onl l most every Southern farm ; cover the floor with the weed. Haul in a load of corn, then threshli over a pole an I ailufllil of Jcrusaleml oak, lanId alter- I nItely a load of corn and ani armfull of the weeds, till I have finisiled gath ering mly corn. This gives but little trouble aipd will always prevent the weevil from attacking the corn. At least I have never been troubled with the pest, after pursuing the above course."

St. Jam(es Sentilel: In at forler number we sitated that the fourtlh, ward of the .larishi oof Ascension had indltrsed thie toLttsiutllti&L of Judge Flagg. It seems tlht we. were misin formed in refereucy to the matter, and clleerfillly make the correction. Judge Marks inforiaus us that no ward. in theparwish of Ascension has indorse d Judgoe Flag' s nominatipot. Democratic Rule in Texas. To the serious consideration of the people of Louisiana-and particularly those who contend that a Democr atic restoration is all that is needed to secure prosperity in our State-we commend the following picture of the condition of affairs in Texas, drawn by the San Antonio Herald, a promi nent and able Democratic journal. It should be remembered that Texas is ruled entirely by Democrats-that every department of the government is under their control, and that when the Republican party was in power a few years since there was an honest, frugal government, a flourishing pub lic school system and a rate of taxa tion very much lower than that of the Present time. The Herald says : " In our Legislature the character istic feature is waste and extravagance. Offices are multiplied, salaries in creased, and the pepple's donmain squandered in the truis reckless man ner ; but the sacred tr st-the, school fund, amounting to .. ()00, --com mitted to their jd icia y care, is also seized and aprlpriated to the pay ment ot the mileage and per diem, and other expenses of this session of tile Legislature, and to make good the deficit in the State Treasury, caused in part by the expenses in curred for the constitutional conven tion. We are cursed with a Legisla- I ture, one of a series, which by its ma j.rities, in spite of the beneficence of providence ground ns down with the iron heel of oppression, have piled taxes ()ssa upon Pell ion high, and but partiaily and iinperfectly executed the very laws they themtselvesenacted. They have run the expenditures of the State from| a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year, into the mil lions: they in their expelrditures, have exceeded the reveilles of the State and instead of reforming this condi tion of aflhirs to a healthy condition by retrenching all expenses to the ac tnal incomie of the State, they are to day issuing bonds to make good the ideticiencies in the treasury, which, when sold for what they may bring in the market with all the tawdry ap penldages of coitll lissioiners to sell on clmIItIlisio.lns atlld oithe1r *expenises run niing inito the hundreds of tlloutsands of dllairs, will lie imet by the project to i.ne ofl her batclhes of hands to pro vidtl for the emnergel:cy to play the prilncipal and iittirest of the hoands ino issued. In the meantime they place. their sacrilegious hands upon every actual dollar of cash assets in the treasury, as the special schlnd fund, which should tiw a secure fund, and this they squandered to bridge over whalt the Legislatireo deems an entrgency." In another article of the s.ate issue the Herald says: "( Our State giivertment is a curse and our laws a mockery, and we call upon our people to rouse to action and apply the corrective. By the apa'thy of the State govelrltneut an nrchy prevails and lawlessness and crinme abound. The people niust act ilt their own defense. The Governor and Legislature will not." - - ti The Assumption Chronicle throws b nut some suggestions to our Donald sonville Agricultural Association which may be worthy the attention of those interested : The premiums offered are not ef- i ficient in amount to induce the en trance and trainining of horses whose 1 performances would attract attend ance, while twenty per cent. is de manded as entrance money. The As sociation, it would seem to us, pur sues a wrong pri ciple when it at tempts to derive a profit from the en trance money. The Association is c in -herstod to le under a small debt I for the improvement of their course and the object is to have a series of 1 races, the gate money being expected r to extinguish it; but the kind of races suggested will not do it. People may go once hut will not be caught twice. If the Association would give purses for all ages, and a satall amount added as a sweepstake for three-year-olds, there would he some induieoment, as there are a great many well bred horses within twenty miles of Don aldsonvillo that wonld he trained for e the occasion, and the friends of each horse would attend. Two good races would imake the trick a snerees. But the idell to Innke the owners eof htoses pay for ti.e privilege', of allowing the public to witness a race is alsutidtg.
