Pretty Plain. --c- tE The Terrebonne Chronicle makes g1 the following very truthful and A sensible remarks, for a Republican ol paper-upon the political situa- g tion :-''The political storm, o which visits us with more or less ri severity every four rears, and in ti which many political aspirants tl founder and go down in tile o whirlpool of excitement, has , passed, and each political party tl can view the batt1efield in the t calm whih is sure to follow, pick up their dead and wounded and a marshal their legions for the com- n jag conflict in the fall. n Viewed from an independent e stand-point there is but little ; choice between the men who have e been nominated, both can claim f the support of every American a Citizen irrespective of party 1 aflilliations, and very little if anything can be said against either the political or private record of either candidate.. Both I are Northern men, both are Union men and both are yankee. With but two exeeptions the Democratic platform is a very clear and terse enunciation of the principles of the Republican party. The Republican platform tim idly commends a moderate pro tection of American intustry 1 the Democratic platform tersely demands "a tariff for revenue only." As the Republican platform endo rscs Mr. Hlnys's Administra tion, which is justly condemned by every honest Republican in Louisiana, and as the nomination of Gen. Garfield means a solid North against a solid South, the Republicans South might as well come to the conclusion first as t last "that it is $ none of their c funeral." As for a Republican, party k Sonth, we don't consider there is ._ any. worthy the name, and the n only portion of the party that 2- will be materially bencfitted or s. injured by the election or defeat is of Gen. Garfield, is the Custom p. House crowd. We suggest that the tw6 can didates meet in Washington and a throw up a trade dollar, the one re that gets the up with "in God we '11 trust" to inaugurated.

Yes, he should, and at the same time the general public should likewise make note of the Col onel's faithful and arduous labors in the vineyard. He has always borne more than his share of the battle's brunt but is some how always neglected when the time for recompensation arrives. The Colonel was elected to' Congress in 1S'S, from his district but the carpet-bagzer Frank Morey cheat ed him out of his sent, and we would say to the Democrats of the Fifth Congressional District in their present dilemma, that they cannot find a truer patriot, a: wiser stateman. a more trie! Jeffersonian Democrat, to repre sent them with honor to to State and the South, than CoL. G. W. MCCRANIE of Ouachuta. Dean Stanley, the absolute custodian of Westminster Abbey, is said to be willing to withdraw his permission or the erection of a memorial to the late Prince Impeera1 of France in that honor ed edifice if the homse of commons siail deem it advisahle. The Dean must have come to the con elusion that the sentiments which he expressed some time ago that the late Prince had "given his life for England" were hastily jutteted Arrangements have been comple ted for an " A rchtologica land Scientific Expedition to central America" under thejoint anspicCs of the government of the United States and of France. The main obtjects of the expedition, now al rerdy en route, are the investiga tion; with some approach to thoroughness and scientific meth od, of the monumental and other remains of early civilization jn the nucleus of Ntw Spain--Yuca tan, Guatemala and the. adjoining provinces of Mexico -and gener ally the collection of such data as ma\ tend to throw light on the many intricate problems connect ed with the mysterious race of Anahnac. The expenses of the expedition, thoroughly equipped for a three year's service will be about equally shared by the French government and Mr. Lorillard, the former contributing party in outfits, etc., and Mr. Lorillard in return furnishing the larger. portion of the funds re required. The Mogan City Review, after a caleful investigation of the matter states that the position taken by the Democracy of Saint Mary in regard to the Acklcn-Billin, controversey is this: With very few excep tions they are perfectly satisfied with the nomination of Mr Billiu; they contend that it was fairly and regu!arly made, and there fore are opposed to disturbing it. They believe the opposition (which is but light) originated with Mr. Acklen, and is being engineered by him and for himself only. They see no good excuse for calling a new convention, which, they con tend could not bat further jeopardize the chances of party sucess-chances that are neaver the best. In short, St. Mary Democrats are not friendly to Mr. Acklen. The Morgan City Free Press tells us that-"the one case of i el low fever that brought out a quarantine proclamation in three States origiiated on a Rio Jeneiro coffe whip that had been detained at the New Orleans quarantine station twelve days, with its cargo fumigated. Thus the germ outwits the doctors." DoEs HER OWN Wonk.- Does Fhe? What of it? is it any disgrace? Is sihs any less a true woman, less worthyofirespect than she who sits in silks and satins, add is vain of fingers that never labor? We list ened to this sneer a few days ago, and the tone in which it was ut tered betokened a narrow ignoble mind, better fitted for ary place1 than a country whose institutions rest on honorable labor as one of the chief cornerstones. It evinced a false idea of the true basis of society, of true womanhood of gen uine nobility. It showed th6 de testable spirit of Caste, of rank, which a certain class are trying to establish-a caste whose sole foun dation is money, and is the weakest kind of rank known to civilizarion. Mind, manners, morals, all that enters into a good character, are of on account with these social snobs; position in their stilted ranks is bought with gold, and each additional dollar is another round in the ladder by which eleva tion is gained.

The Third Congressional District Nomination. .r ht A LETTER FROM GEN. BILLTU. Fun, the New Onjeiai Times. hi THIBODAUX, LA.. July 17, 1880. tt I find in your issue of the 16th t ijt., resolutions which purport to have been adopted by a mass at meeting held in the parish of St. ci Martin on the 14th inst.. and also C( a letter from Mr. J. H. Acklen, d in which his great generosity is sought to be made manifest to the m voters of the third congressional 8s district. it The resolutions charge in ft subktance : o 1. That my ntomination as can didate for the third congressional d district was irregularly made ; in m what respect or particular, how- a ever, is not stated, save in a gen- t, oral way. d 2. That I wrote out and sign ed, without authority, credentials t] for person in St. Martin parish p who were not delegates ; but the it resolutions are not clear whether c the charge applies to credentials for the State or for the congree sional convention. I 1. I was regularly nominated by a convention which Mr. Ack len openly recognized as being regular and authorized. The nomination was unsolicited on my part. Mr. Acklen was the first. and for may weeks the only per son in the district to complain of my nomination. When I was reliable informed that he propos ed to contest my nomination to I s the bitter end, and had rented parlor P of the St. Charles Hotel for his headquarters, and had secured a full force of clerks, so as to carry on his disinterested (?) y warfame against me, I realized that his reckless course might imperil Democratic harmony -alid success in this congressional dis 1 trict ; and Ibt once addressed a ý. letter to the Hon. R. N. Sims, of d Donaldsonville, chairman of our congressional committee, expres ysing my perfect readiness to sub a mit to any action the committee might deem proper to adopt in r the premises. Mr. Sims reply stated that no one complained of my nomination r except Mr. Acklen, who was 3 bound by his admission, made in :o open convention that the conven tion was regular end had full authority to nomrnate. This un ss qualified admission was made in presence and within hearing of the self same delegates who corn a posed the convention by which I se was honored with the nomina io tion. 2. If it be implied that I wrote out and signed credentials for St. b Martin parish, to be used or which - were used, in any congressional convention to further my inter ests, I have to say that the im putation is untrue. At the personal solicitation of honorable gentlemen from St. Martin parish,.I wrote out creden tials for that parisl. and embodied such names as were dictated to mc. I have no knowledge whatever that those credentials were used even in the State convention. Those who know me know full a well that I will not stand in the way of Democratic harmony or success that my interests are as nothing compared 'to those of the I people, and that if a new conven tion be neccessary I would be the last to oppose the calling of t such a convention. In the meanwhile I assured the people of St. Martin that I have no petty personal ambition to sub- 1 serve, but that on the contrary my chief ambition is to advance the material interests of the people pn all occasions by every honorable means. and always without wish ing, to court ,notoriety I must also, assure them that I would by far prefer the shades of obscurity rather than I should ever be con victed of having so much as tres I passed upon the rights of the hum I blest individual, to say nothing of r a general onslaught upon the rights of a whole community. I beg you Mr. Editor, to pub. lish the foregoing, although it comes after the trial and convic tion without a hearing of your humble servant. JOHN S. BILLIU. Strong influences are being brought to bear to induce Judge Taylor Beattie to withdraw. his letter of declination, and acceft the candidacy for Congress in the Third District. Should he do so, and Acklen's fight on. Bil lin is not spuelched, there will be great danger of the Democratic O(pngresional majority benig re duced by one.-- 0 Ciusy Items. INn URNCE or AxEWRCA ABROAD .The Boston Herald says: Per- I haps nobetter indication couuld be had of the growing importance of this country than ihe admission that is now made by the leading i authorities in England that the changes in market prices there are controlled by America. The Lon don Times says that the prime minister of England finds it neces sary to look to the United States in order to determine what the future industrial condition of his own country will be, while the Lon don Economist says, that not only, was the advance in the prices of almost all of the staple articles in trade eight months ago due to the direct influnce of his country, but the decline that has since taken place in all of the English market is plainly traceable to the same cause. To a certain extent, the markets of the world are in symý pathy with each other, and no I great change can take place in one without sending a ripple of excite ment over the entire surface of the v mercantile world. But our hold upon the world is, in this respect, singular, that they feel the effect of f our changes much more than we 3 do theirs. It should also be re o membered that our influence in d this respect has relatively just be I gnn.
