Judge Orsborn's i ,,rse in adjourning court lately, was dis , need, and the Governor thought he was marecessasrily alarmed, whilst members of 1 h, dellegation fully justified him under the c :,umstances, as we provisionally did.

I £ g" "-' new ..lvcrtisem"2ts IIIUmesemably Astemlshed. Hon. Charles Osyarre, the eminent histo rian of Louisiana, and the present reporter of the Supreme Court Is as it appears to as a gentleman liable to be very easily and very unreasonably astonished. Like many other salaried officers of the State, he has experienced some difficulty in getting his pay, and conceiving that Auditor Clinton had not acted exactly as a gentleman, a scholar or a public officer shourd act, he gets up a pamphlet for limited circulation among his (the reporters) friends, to paint the Auditor Treasurer or the Treasurer Au ditor, in his true light as he saw him. An extract frnn the pamphlet may be found in the New Orleans Herald of the 21st Au gust, which the editor of that paper says will give an excellent idea of the whole, and one sentence which we give of that ex tract will give an excellent idea of it: Now, sir, it being incontestable that you lied to me and to Judge Cotton, I ad forced to the conelusion that, being a liar, you are logically a scoundrel, always in your official capacity, be it understood. There are not two words in the English language which harmonize with more exquisite feli city" Webster, in his dictions y, defines a a rlsdrel to be "a mean, worthless fellow, and a rascal," and if you turn to the same authority for the definition of the word "rascal," you will find that rascal signifies a scoundrel, or a mean, worthless follow, and therefore a liar. This spicy production Judge Gayarre dis tributed among his friends, or ten or a doz en of them with the understanding that it was (as he says) strictly cosatdesial, and then left the city for twelve days, and when he returned was horrified and aston ished to find his brochure, or the bitterest portion of it made public, as ifa dozen men more than a dosen women could keep a secret. Astonished and very indig nant, however, he claims to be, and in proof sends the subjoined letter to the BRepUioas, which looks very much like locking the stable after the steed has been stolen, Eorroa RzrvB CAr: I have seen this morning with extreme astonishment your allusion to a pamphlet said to have been published by me against Auditor Clinton. I published no such pamphlet. I had twenty copies printed at the Caxton Press by Mr. Keefe, with the strict injunction that they should be seen by nobody, which he promised in the most explicit manner. I handed ten of these copies to friends who were requested to give me their opinion on the subject, stat ing to thetA that the printing had been done, not for publication, but merely to en able them to read with more care the docu menl to which I called their attention. It was strictly confidential, and, with the ex ception of four, all had, at my request, re turned to me the copies with which they had been entrusted. There the matter was intended to rest forever. The other four remaining copies would have been again in my hands if I had not absented myself twelve days ago, and came back only yes terday. I hasten to give you this informa tion, and I will lose no time in obtaining from the editor of the Heraldd the name of the person who communicated to him what has given rise to your comments in to-day's paper. Respectrully, etc., CHARLES GAYARRE. Famcy vs. Facts. Colonel Jno. W. Forney of "my two pa pers, both daily," has written a book, en. titled "Anecdotes of Public Men, which if judged by the two following extracts, might be more appropriately named; as an anecdote according to Webster is sort of a fact, which we are certain one is not and have our doubts about the other. Speak ing of Governor Moore, Col. Forneysays: Perhaps no Southern Governor was in more hearty accord with secession than Thomas O. Moore, of Louisiana. Now, according to our recollections and impressions on the subject, Governor Moore yielded to secession only as an unavoidable aecessity which he would have been very glad to overcome, by any honorable or practicable course. Again in regard to the Seminary buildings, the location of which was three and a half miles from the river, with pine forrests and hills intervening, and which was burned in 1869, the Colonel gives this fanciful and flowery description: There is no finer piece of architecture than the military academy at Alexandria, and when I sew it, with Colonel Scott's party, as we passed up Red river on our way to Texas, is J·sesf 187% I was im presed by its exquisite proportions. Not having read the work we cannot say how many other inacuracies it contains, but the two we have instanced willmnuffce to prove to these acquainted hereabouts at least, that the author did not hold in much regardl Cicero's advice to historians, "Let him not presume to utter any false hood, but be bold in promulgating every trath. RMovAL or vax CAPrrA-We are pleased to see that quite a number of our country exchanges have taken up the sub ject of the Capital and are discuasing it with considerable interest. We would like to see more of the Republican press taking a stand in this matter and lending their powerful aid in restoring the Capital to Baton Rouge. It is not desired to make the issue one of a party character, but to make it one of the people irrespective of party. The country must take the lead and insist upon it, even if a vote be necessay for that purpose at the ballot box. From the city nothing can be expected but the most determined opposition.. It is not the interest of city rmng and brokers that their prey should be removed from their grasp, but it is for the country voice to in sist that it shall be done. And doit we can if we are but true to ourselve.--ugar Planter. The above contains this matter in a nut shell, and it is becoming a thoroughly dis cussed subject even by Repablican journals, and they will soon all be in line and mak ing a united effort in behalf of this impor that measure. This subject must be made one of the people, regardlemss of partisan feelings. Even now men of all parties are expressing themielves treely on this quee tion, and it will eventually come before the people for a final settlement. Then there is not a doubt as to the issue. We do insist that the city plunderers shall no longer control the Legislature, with their rinags and brokers, and that the State Capi tal shall be removed from the contamina tion of their pestiferos and evil influence s. -[ Red Rver Kern. A Proemilasilg Programme. We have received a programme of the coming %, Gramd dgtrdcasltsral Fir, which is to take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th of October next, printed at the office of the La. Democrat, in a style which as re gards execution, neatness of arrangement, finish and material is seldom seen excelled in a country town, and which reflects the highedt credit on the accomplished young typo, who has now the control of the.me chanical department of the office from which it was issued. Wishing very hearti ty the most complete success to the enter prize which it heralds, we hope as is most likely the case, that the programmes have been widely and generally distributed, as they certainly will create a more favorable impression of the resources and energies of Rapides than is we fear generally accorded to her. We ourselves a resident of thirty five years, and intimately acquasinted with every part and parcel of the parish, had no idea that passing over the departments A B CD E and F and coming to G, there was enough fine stock, poultry and dogs in Ra pides, to get up a respectable competition for prizes and premiums, and yet of course we must be mistaken' and the managers know better, as one or two fine stallion's. sheep or swine, would no more make a show than one or two swallows wonid make a summer. The Shetland ponies too. we suppose, are to be found somewhere' and family carriages, harness horses and mares will no doubt be forthcoming, be sides the flyers from the Eclipse and Ex celsior Stables, so success to the Fair. - _ Binasa SHoP.-Simon and Dick have had their Shop in Irving's Row open now for two or three weeks, and as we predict ed they wonld, have been doing a good bus iness. Every thing is clean, comfortable and cool, and it is quite refreshing to be operated on by them, and if you need any thing farther in the refreshment line, you have just to step through the door into Levi's, and he will fill your bill. STo the Grand Ecore and New Or leans packets, St. Mary and Era No. 10, we are indebted for favors in the paper line. Captain Mitchell has transfered his pen nant to the Era No. 10, with our popular friend, Tom. Clements as First Clerk. Cap tain Hamilton takes command of the St. Mary, we have not heard who succeeds him as First Clerk. CAPTArN HEINk.-We have received fr ,m our old friend, Captain Heinn, a letter, en closing the notice which appears in our pa per to-day, by which it will be seen that he will soon again resume his place in the trade, in which he was always so popular, and of which now that he again appears in it unembarrassed and uncontrolled, he will no doubt receive a liberal and renumers tive share. JorNAIr.ISTIc.-The good will and sub scription list of the Rural Soulklasd have been purchased by Mr. Jas. H. Hummel; who has amalgamated that paper with Our Home Journal, so that hereafter these two papers will appear as one under the title of Our Home Journal and Rnrol 8osatllasd. The ability which has heretofore characterized these papers will be enhanced by the com bination of talent add energy secured in the new arrangement. The objectsof those papers in the past have been the advance ment of industrial and agricultural inter ests, and though both have signally suc ceeded in their mission, it is obvious that these interests can best be subserved by one paper alone. The change recommends itself as on worthy of patronage, and, doubtless, that will be forthcoming. SFrom the Secretary ofthe Cincinnati Industrial Exposition or Fair to be held this month, we have received a handsomely engraved card of admission to the gronnds. We return our thanks for the compliment which the distance prevents as from avail ing ourselves of. Possibly we may receive an invitation nearer homae Attention is called to the card of the Trustees of the Louisiana Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, which was sent to the President of the Police Jury, and is publish ed for the information of the friends of any so amioted in this parish, should there be such. Ax IDUThRIAL Vscronr.-The Charles ton Naew reports that the Bouthern cotton millsare working full time and are making money. They claim to have learned that yarn can be manufactured in South Caroli na, shipped to the North, and sold there at a net profit of~five cents a pound, after de ducting commission and other expenses; and that a certain class of cotton goods sent North can he sold at a profit often cents a pound. Yarns have also been ship pad and sold in Manchester, England, at a profit of four and a quarter cents a pound. The News therefore advises the Northern manufacturers to send their machinery down South and establish cotton mills. The suit of J. Ernest Broda vs. M. J. Cunningham, for the District Attorneyship, ha been dismissed, Mr. Cunningham hav ing withdrawn all apposition. J. Ernest Breds is now recognized as the District At torney for the Ninth Judicial District. We congratulate both parties on this sensible and amicable adjustment of their dispute. -[Bed Bker News.

To the Iolic~ Jaries, the Muicipal Authorities and hiends of the Deaf and Dub in Louisl ana: The Trustees of the Ia. Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, call your attention to this unfortunate class, and the provision made for them by the State in this Institution. All the Deaf be tween the ages of eight and twenty-five, of sound physical and mental constitutions, will be admitted and provided with in struction, board, lodging, medicine and medical attendance at the expense of the Institution; and all those in such indigent circumstances as shall appear by a certifi cate of any member of the police jury of the parish, or mayor of the city, where they reside, to reqder such aid necessary, will also be furaihed with clothing and travel ing expenses to the Institution. The In stitution also affords a mechanical depart meat in which instruction is given in sneh trades as may be best suited to render the pupils self-sustaining citizens. The edauoa tion of the deaf is of peculiar importance to them and to the State; but from want ot information, indigence or other reasons on the part of parents, less than half in the State avail themselves of the privileges allorded. This is all wrong; hence the Trustees earnestly call the attention of all proper authorities to the duty of seeing that all the deaf in their respective pairishes or citps, are informed of the privileges pro vided, and that in cases of indigent circum stances, meaens he provided for conveying such to this Institution. Proper provision will be made for both white and colored. In case of any deaf known at this Insti tution to be in your city or parish, the names are apptended to this letter. Should you'know or learn of others, their address is earnestly desired. Gov. W. P. KELLOGG, cr-ojdco, Hox. J. H. BURCH, H. NEWELL, Esq., H SCHORTEN, Esq., L. BERHEL, J.
