'•One done hors of a done color black main and tail about fifteen hands hi five years old no other marks perceivable, uas been taken up in Indiana. All save one of Queen \ ictoria s ladies in •waiting are widows, her choice since Prince Albert died. They receive £1800 per an num.and are the widows of deceased peers. Captain William Dale, at one time con nected w ith an old railroad running out of Natchez, and lor forty years a resident of Concordia parish, died ia that parish re cently. _ _ _ Indiana papers tell of a broken hearted widower who has erected a pine slab over the newly made grave of his wife, and has presented a costly piano to a young lady who "has been very kind to him in his great affliction." A correspondent ot the Boston Post writes from Washington that General Logan has asserted, in the most positive and emphatic manner, that he means to go to Cincinnati and do his best to secure the nomination of Mr. Trumbull for President. The merchants of Charleston have pre sented Lydia Thompson with a mammoth bale of cotton, weighing over 1100 pounds bound with blue ribbon, as a "testimonial to worth and virtue." At its market value in Charleston the cotton would bring over $280. We noticed yesterday afternoon Senator Hugh J. Campbell riding in his buggy along Canal street, accompanied by that eloquent colored orator, Mr. Frederick Douglass. It is a pleasure to note that hos pitalities and courtesies are freely extended to Mr. Douglass by Lis Republican friends in this City.__ A Kentucky entomologist has kept two vigorous musketoes under an inverted tum bler for six months without food, and they remain in a healthy condition. This clearly proves that their annoyance of mankind is entirely uncalled for, and not at all neces sary to their sustenance. Corpulent old lady—."I should like ticket^for the train." Booking clerk (who thinks he will make a joke)—"Yes'ni ; will you go in the passenger train or in the cattle train ?" Lady—"Well, if you are a sped men of what I shall experience in the pas* senger train, give me a ticket for the cattle train by all means." The ladies of Alaska are said to wear a body dress of equal proportions of fur and dirt, arranged to suit the taste of the wearers. The married ladies all wear sil ver rings in their noses and needles through t heir lower lips, while elderly ladies add to thei r irresistible charms a "stopper," what ever that may be, in the upper lip. There is a woman in Springfield who is determined*not to be cheated. She pur chased a spool of cotton thread at a dry goods store the other day and insisted on having the clerk unwind and measure it, to make sure it did. not fall below 200 yards. If this were to become a general practice, cotton thread would be up in price or the sale of it would surely become unprofitable. When a carpet is taken up to be cleaned, ' the floor beneath it is generally very much covered with dust. This dust is very fine and dry, and poisonous to the lungs. Before removing it, sprinkle the floor with very dilute carbolic acid to kill any poisonous germs that may be present, and so thor oughly disinfect the floor and render it sweet. ___. Springfield, Massachusetts, evidently does not value very highly its historic landmarks An old building which was occupied as a courthouse three score of years before the remembrance of the oldest inhabitant was sold the other day for $55. It was captured by the leader of "Shay's rebellion" in 1786. We have no doubt the price it brought was all that it was worth. The Sheritf ot the parish of Orleans sells •!»t auction, this day, at noon, at the Mer chants and Auctioneers' Exchange, Royal street, forty shares of the Louisiana Land, Loan and Savings Bank, and at five o'clock P. M., at his warehouse, No. 74 St. Ann street, between Royal and Bourbon streets, Second District, furniture and moveable effects. See advertisements. In describing the origin of the Waterly Magazine, a correspondent says the proprie tor hit ujion the ingenious scheme of pub lishing any composition, prose or verse, that might be contributed, on condition that the author should take fifty copies of the issue. The paper acquired a large cir culation at the start, and what was better, the "copy" didn't cost anything. A laywoman in Providence, a milliner by trade, but nevertheless a favorite exhorter at the evening meetings of the elect, thus gave her reasons for belief in the existence of a Supreme Being: "Sisters, I am just as confident that there is a God as I am that there are bonnets in Paris; and that I know for certain, as I yesterday received from there a choice assortment of the most fashionable styles, which I will trim with more taste and sell lower than any milliner in the city." Ex-Senator Stringer, of Georgia, recently lost his wife, but in six days he married another, and she in six more days took refuge in her pa's house. Poor Stringer is disconsolate, and immediately in front of his house has nailed on each of two trees a plank, on which he has inscribed in bold letters, with charcoal, these words: "Come lioufe. come home, my dear wife." There is a similar placard on his house, bearing the same inscription: '-Come home, my dear wife." The character of the population of the New England States is likely U> undergo serious modification before another decade has passed. In 1870 the excess of births from foreign parentage over native parent age was 2776. an excess greater than in any year since 1865. While descendants of the Pilgrims are migrating to the Western, Middle and Southern States, where better opportunities are perhaps offered for accu mulating fortunes than in sterile New Eng land, their places are being taken by Eng lish, Irish and Canadians. Some of the oldest farms in New England have passed into the possession of Irishmen. STATE RIGHTS. Weil may it be said that "time works wonders." This was never more truth fully demonstrated than within the past few years. It was to carry out the ultra doctrine of State rights, as understood by Southern slaveholders, that the war for secession and slavery commenced. The Democratic leaders of the South led the Southern people into rebellion against the national government, teaching them that their first allegiance was to their State. This was the doctrine they promulgated to save slavery, and make it the leading power of the land. But the people of the United States—a large majority of them— were opposed to this interpretation of State rights, and would not consent to a peaceable dissolution of the Union. And the consequence was the Southern Demo crratic leaders—Slidell, Benjamin, Davis, Yancey, Toombs, and a host of just such men, plunged the Southern States and the Southern people into rebellion against the national government, simply that they might be permitted not only to own alld have slaves in the States where slavery ex isted, but to extend it into the Terri tories. The growing tendency of the slave power before the war was to make slavery national and freedom sectional; and this was to be accomplished under the Southern States rights doctrine, which taught that the power of the States was superior to the national government; that the national government derived its powers from the States, and that, therefore, the national government had no right to enforce its laws against States that refused to obey them. The people of the United States— a large majority of them—were in favor of the enforcement of the laws by the national government, and the consequence was re bellion on the part of the Southern people, who were taught by their Democratic leaders to despise and rebel against national authority and uphold States rights and slavery. The rebellion cost the slaveholders their slaves. And now what do we behold? Why, these very same Democrats, who were contending for the right of secession in 18G1, now invoking the power of the national government to subdue lawful State governments! Not only this. We find them ready to rebel against a lawful State government, and actually preaching the non-payment of taxes to the people, and advising them to join the "Iron House military organization," and be prepared to resist by force and violence the enforce ment of the law! Was ever a people so humbugged and outraged by a set of shameless political demagogues, who are everything in turn for a political purpose. In 18G1 they denied and defied the authori ty of the national government, and assert ed the supremacy of State governments. In 1872 they advise the people to rebel against a State government if it attempts to enforce the law by civil process, and calls upon the national government to aid them in their rebellion. It is not strange that colored men—formerly the slaves of these inconsistent Democrats—should worship the power of the national govern ment and honestly feel it is right to do so. That is misplaced gratitude on their part, for if they owe gratitude it belongs to the American people and not to their servant, placed temporarily at the head of their government But the thought can not be reconciled that the fire-eating Democrat and slaveholder of 1961 should turn up in 1872 the ally of his former slaves in ad vocating a total subversion of the rights of States by an armed intervention of the national government. We are satisfied that but a small portion of the Southern people can ever again be made to follow such leaders. THE COLORED NATIONAL CONVENTION, The convention adjourned sine die on Monday night last. Its session was a pro longed one, extending into portions of five days and nights, and we are disposed to think it -will accomplish some good. The convention has certainly done no harm to our colored fellow-citizens. On the con trary, it has proved to every unprejudiced mind that the colored or negro element of this country is not without mental abil ity. We are not disposed, like our neigh bor, the Times, to view them with a critic's eye, or depreciate their worth by making odious comparisons. We are dis posed to be just and charitable to that por tion of the population of our country that springs from African lineage. The fact that the negro has not improved in tellectually in Africa does not incapacitate him for improvement in this country un der the stimulating influences of Repub lican institutions and the bright examples of the Caucasian race. If we were not convinced that this was the case before the assembling of the National Colored Convention in this city, the amount of intelligence embraced in that body was sufficient to prove that the negro is capa ble of intellectual improvement. A large number of the members of that conven tion will compare favorably with the ma terial of which conventions are generally composed in this country, and not a few were remarkable for their graceful oratory and powers of reasoning. Among these, Mr. Douglass must be classed, in this re spect, as the brightest star of his race. He has evidently made oratory a study, and has achieved a proficiency in it that has extended his fame not only all over this broad land, but to nations of the old world. From a poor, oppressed, unedu cated slave. Frederick Douglass has risen to eminence by the force of his own will and intellectual capacity. He may not be as profound as a Blaekstone. or a Bacon, or a Locke, but he lias certainly made himself an accomplished orator and de bater, and has been listened to with pleas ure by the intellectual magnates of the land. Mr. Clarke, of^hio, is another of the delegates recently assembled here who does honor to his race in the display of a rare intellectual capacity. He is a fluent, easy speaker, and a close reasoner. His conservative tendencies and judicious con duct in the national convention just closed mark him as a most useful man to his race—one who is capable of giving good advice, and is not inclined to treat the opinions of others with disrespect, al though they may conflict with his own. Mr. Ruffin, of Massachusetts, is another of the members of the convention just held who is an honor to his race. He is a gen tleman of much intellectnal capacity, and evidently of large experience in public life. He has served in the Legislature of Massa chusetts, and we should judge, from his conduct here as a delegate, with distinc tion. Mr. Ruifin is an able speaker, and, from what we saw of him in the chair of the convention, is an accomplished pre siding officer over a deliberative body. Lieutenant Governor Ransier and Mr. Cardoza, Secretary of State, both of South Carolina, were also, from their mental capacity and training, men of prominence in the convention. There were also other colored gentlemen of marked ability there, and not least among them stood the dele gates from Louisiana. But our object is not so much to single out individuals and give them prominence as to establish the fact that the material of the convention was generally good—far better than, from the advantages colored men formerly en joyed in this country, the public were led to expect. If the convention fails to obtain the im mediate recognition of the same civil rights for the colored people of this coun try that are enjoyed by other people it will not fail to accomplish some good. It will demonstrate the fact that colored men are capable of intellectual improvement, and this will, in the future, have much to do with removing the prejudice that with holds from the colored people their full meed of civil rights. A resolution passed the convention the last night of its session authorizing the president, Mr. Douglass, to appoint dele gates to a national convention, which is to meet ^ the call of the president, when he shall deem it necessary. ID. Douglass appointed, in accordance with that resolu tion, the following named gentlemen dele gates: Pinchback, of Louisiana; Down ing, of Rhode Island; Ruffin, of Massachu setts; Gibbs, of Arkansas; Rapier, of Ala bama; Turner, of Georgia; Ransier, of South Carolina; Spellman, of Mississippi; Barbadoes, District of Columbia; L. H. Douglass, of New York; Seals, of Califor nia; Langston, of Kansas; Stevenson, of Kentucky; W. V. Stevens, of Virginia; George T. Ruby, of Texas. THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS SPEAK. A momentous and decisive step has been taken by a large number of the most prominent, ardent and influential leaders of our party in Louisiana. Perhaps a majority of the men whose mimes are in scribed upon the records of all Republican triumphs in this State have determined to attend the Cincinnati convention; and their reasons for thus departing from usual party customs are embodied in an appeal to the people of the country, which, for terseness, force and conclusive reason ing, is a remarkable document, indeed. It will be found in to-day's paper, and its careful perusal should not be omitted by any one having at heart a sincere sym pathy with the effort for reform, national and State, which is so imperatively de manded by the condition of public affairs. The offenses—the crimes—of the Presi dent's office-holders against the Republican party are bearing natural fruit in this ac tion of the men who alone could earn* the State for his re-election, and naught but the blindest and most unreasoning par tisanship can condemn the rebuke thus given to the unlicensed exercise of power by which it was designed to control or overthrow the opinions and actions of our people. The list of signers to this important political paper, not being complete in the country parishes, has not yet been fur nished for publication; but it contains an imposing array of names, both as regards numbers and rank. Their action can not fail to add to the enthusiasm already aroused by the demonstrations in New York and elsewhere in favor of the Cincin nati movement. THE CANCER OF TAXATION. The Picayune is in profound tribulation because some wealthy citizens have chosen to abandon their pews in Christ Church, and decline paying the taxes levied upon them. The reason of this is ascribed to the inability of the occupants to meet the heavy burden of taxation. This, how ever, appears to us but an excuse. The most probable theory is the religious fer vor of the "wealthy citizens" has cooled, and the money heretofore devoted to the maintenance of the Gospel is wanted for some more congenial purpose. But aside from this, the practice of the Picayune of ascribing every incident of this description to bad government is the sheerest nonsense. Does it imagine for a moment that anybody believes the state ment, or gives the Picayune credit for be lieving it? The fax upon the costliest pew in Christ Chnrcljj does not exceed thirty dollars. A man able to pay $500 or $000 for a pew could feel no pecuniary distress in incurring this additional ex penditure. Especially would it be paid rather than deprive his family of the con solations of religious service, if he were sincere and devoted to his religion, and not a miser with his money. But this transcendental grief of our calico neighbor is all for the "wealthy citizen. " The misery it perceives is all among the rich and opulent, and none with the poor and lowly. This is surpris ing, in view of the fact that it is eminently the "people's organ." But, perhaps, the Picayune is not aware of the fact that nine-tenths of the delinquent taxpayers of New Orleans are rich people. They have al ways some excuse to plead for avoiding the just and necessary expenses of government, while they use with inveterate vigor every appliance of the law to wring their high priced rental from the poor and toiling tenants who inhabit their inexpensive and cheaply constructed tenements. To-day the very richest men in New Orleans have not paid their taxes, not from inability, but from sheer reluctance to meet the honest dues of government. Does the Picayune wish to know who they are? They are among its stockholders. But what drayman or poor man has failed to discharge these obligations. None bf these complaiir of taxation. This emanates alone from the pampered creatures of luxury, wealth and pride, who extort their grand resources from the laboring man as they once extorted it from the slave. It is for such as these this self-styled and falsely assumed exponent of the people's tights makes its loudest outcry. It lives by catering to their selfish purposes, and parrot-like repeating their puerile com plaints. True, "the people can reopen all the avenues of general prosperity, bring into play all the functions of a healthy, vigor ous life, and cram State and city with a destiny of never-surpassed magnificence and beauty," and the way to do it is to 'stop the trafficing and intrigues of party by converting the energy employed in petulant complaints into commercial enterprise and a patriotic support of law and peace and order. It can not be done by revolution—by compelling the poor to meet the obligations of government while thfe rich flaunt in luxury, indolence and ease. Away, then, with this senseless clamor ! A fig for your threats of violence and tu mult. There is not a hostile blow or a loyal fight from the eagle-capped summit of the Picayune to the curbstone beneath it. The barking dog never bites. The Picayune is evidently of the humor of the man Who was urging, during the late war, for volunteers to enter the army. "Go, my brave young friends, " said he, ' 'fight for your country—die for it, if it be necessary: for it is sweet to die for our na tive land. " "But," said one, "if it is sweet to die for one's country, why don't you go ?" This was a po3er, and for a moment dis concerted him, but rallying, he replied that he, as an individual, teas not fond of sweet things. So with the Picayune. It is striving might and main to stir up a clamor and tumult it will be the first to deprecate when the strife is begun. Mr. Hurralson, who made the best speech by all odds at the meeting on Lafayette square, Monday night, said that he had but one thing to say against Governor Wannoth, and that was "he disliked to support a man who allowed the Democrats to pat him on the back." Has Mr. Harxal son read the Democratic papers and heard the Democratic orators? Has he been told who led the mob that attempted to revolu tionize the Legislature last fall, and called upon the President to overthrow the State government ? Has he had his eyes about him since he has been in the city ? Does he know who the supporters of the Cus tomhouse faction are? If he has read, and been told, and seen the things to which his attention is herein directed, his judgment is greatly at fault if it has not informed him that the supporters of Pres ident Grant are the ones to distrust, if Democratic support Ls to be assigned as a reason for want of confidence. All the men who denounce Governor Warmoth at present were cheek by jowl with the Demo crats last winter, and they would be in the same position to-day if it was not that they are playing possum to catch such men as Mr. Harralsou in their trap. The double-barreled organ of the de mocracy has raised a muss that we shall take large interest in seeing settled secum dem artem, or, as the natives say, "accord ing to Gunter." Mr. Brice has been elected a delegate to the convention from Jefferson parish, and General Daridson from the parish of Livingston. The Bee says these gentlemen must be denied seats in the convention; the first because he has been connected with certain measures that were passed by the Legislature two years ago, and the latter because he aided with the friends of Governor Wannoth in main taining the integrity of the Last Legisla ture. It becomes a question whether the Bee is the Democratic party, or whether the Democratic voters of Jefferson and Livingston parishes are capable of de ciding for themselves who are Democrats and who shall represent them in ^Demo cratic convention. Perhaps there is a faction in the opposition camp that will attempt to override the party, as Messrs. Casey and Packard have attempted to rough it over us. Delegates from the country parishes to the Democratic State Convention, which will assemble here to-morrow, are rapidly arriving, and the question of immediate nominatioas or postponement is eagerly canvassed, pro and con. The impression prevails that the convention will wisely determine to delay, many of the leaders deeming the call and decisive committal of the party thereunder entirely too pre cipitate. On the other hand, there are ardent aspirants for official honors who think the ticket should be made up and the campaign opened at once. Senator Blackman and Representative Moncure are delegates, the former being the principal rival of J. B. Eustis, Esq., for Governor. Our former confrere, Mr. Napier Bartlett, is also a delegate from the land of Claiborne. The Republican State Committee In Pennsylvania has imitated Marshal Pack ard's committee in Louisiana, to the great disgust of the the Republicans of that State. Instead of allowing the people at large to elect the delegates to the Repub lican National Convention, the State Cen tral Committee has usurped that right it self, and the Press says it has selected a delegation that does not represent the party and is a disgrace to the Republicans of the State. Mr. Packard, when his convention dwindled down to a corporal's guard by the withdrawal of the regular delegates, usurped the right to appoint members to fill the vacancies. Bad les sons are easily learned. Lieutenant Governor Pinchback yester day took his guest, Mr. Frederick Doug lass, and several other gentlemen, for an excursion on the river, giving them an ex cellent opportunity to view the front of the city and to inspect the national ceme tery at Chalmette. The trip was greatly enjoyed by all. There is a general backing out of every body from the "Defensive Association" since the designs of the movers in that league of disaffection were exposed in the Repub lican. The Bee says it means to commit no violence. The Picayune never had a thought of resisting the enforcement of the law. And even the low-browed ruffians who had never paid any taxes except such as was settled at the lunch table of a whisky shop, have become the rneekes followers of the Quaker faith. The sensible people of New Orleans can not be misled in'o paying an army of bummers in order to escape the discharge of their lawful duty. __ The Citizens 1 Guard is rather nervous about the reception some of the speakers met with at the meeting on Lafayette square. As it fathered and fostered just such disturbances in January in its at tempt to overthrow the Legislature and destroy the State government, it must needs expect to reap the crop it planted. The mob it fed then with murderous sug gestions against the authorities has re turned to plague its own friends. " They who sow the wind shall reap the whirl wind." If the Democracy intend to excommu nicate General T. G. Davidson for voting with the friends of Governor 'Wannoth, what action does it propose to take con cerning Mr. Blackman and liis allies who acted with the Customhouse clique ? If it was wrong to remain in the Legislature with one set of Republicans, was it not equally wrong to stay out doors with another body of the same party ? The delegates to the National Colored Convention have pretty generally departed homeward. They were hospitably and generously treated by our colored fellow citizens, and are favorably impressed with New Orleans, whether their labors here result in much practical good to their race or not. The Agricultural Fair. At the approaching fair machine agents will have over two hundred specimens of their art to dispute for the awards. Sioves will also be placed on exhibition, bat, as we are informed, will not compete for the blue ribbon. Pianos, sewing machines and other branches of the arts will be placed largely on exhibition, and busy preparation is now going on to place everything in readiness for the occasion. Letters are re ceived" from all parts of the country, an. nouncing the readiness of exhibitors to send their articles, and enough is known to establish that the next fair will at least be equal to any of those which have previons lv been celebrated in our citv.
