For sixteen years they have lived in the midst of war and civil commotion. During a period of eight years the only government they have known has been a sort of scheme of ruling by discord. The State has suffered a loss, in that time, in the depreciation of property, the decline of trade, the repression of enterprise, the ruin of agriculture and other industries, and the repulsion of capital, of five hundred millons of dol Jars. The poisoned winds of the desert could not have more effectually blasted the productive powers of the State and destroyed the energies of its people than has the gleam of the Federal bayonets; and had the Republican leaders sown dragon teeth upon our soil, they could not have more certainly Imposed upon us the curse of clvil dis **d than they did when they sent into nmr idst the carpet-bagger with his tnsolenoe and thievishness; his impo :ency for good and his capacity for everything thag is infamous and vile. Indeed, it would a;em that Louisiana has been bound to the b, on during ten years for no other purpose than that 4be Federal Government might coun teract the bounty of Providence in her favor. It is not surprising that a people who bad thus suffered should have rejoiced at the promises of peace sent them by Mr. Hayes previous to and on the Fourth of March, nor that they should receive with distrust and impatience every de lay in the consummation of those pledges. The impatience of the people of Louisiana at the dilatory movements of the President, not less than their de caying cities and abandoned fields, should impress him with a sense of the terrible wrongs which they have en dured and of the richness of the bless Ing a policy of justice and peace will 1haatnw nnon them. We are told that the President hesi tates to withdraw the troops and en trust the State to the ohoson govern ment of the people lest the unchained passions of the whites should vent themselves upon the white Republicans and negroes. Never was there a more groundless apprehension. As we re marked at the outset of this article, the people of Louisiana want peace. God knows they have had enough of Satrife. They have crops to make; properties to protect and improve; a commerce to recreate, wives and children to provide for and educate, and they know too well that these 7f things are not to be accomplished or -forwarded by murdering Republicans and negroes, or by persecuting them in any manner. They are an enlight ened and Christian people, and left to control their own affairs they may be trusted, like the people of other States, to look after their own interests, and to establish such order as will make prop erty valuable and industry profitable. Eight years of federal oppression and earpet-baggery have despoiled them of five hundred millions of dollars, but have not transformed them into either savages or ruffians. When the President shall withdraw the troops, and thus remove every obsta o'e in the State to the authority of the Nicholls government, what is it reason 'ble to suppose a people, owning millions 'proprty, and with millions of com cial and Industrial interests at stake, do? Will any sensible man reply hey will, of course, set in to mur maltreat men because of any creed, to butcher, whip and the laboring people among I plunge the whole com - scenes of desperate vio ,odshed ? Or will such a that they will imme -work to rebuild their o ft6 t lish the su < Wl.ls liberty .x x, poliy or justie of delsaying the awtab lishment of local self-government among such a people, based on any ap prehension of the manner in which they will exercise it. The purpose of this people is not re venge, nor is their object strife. If the hand of the Federal Government is withdrawn, they will establish peace and good-will between all classes and races within the State. Their govern ment will enforce the law; suppress or punish crime; relieve the properties, trade and industries of the State of the burdens the robber governments of the past eight years have imposed upon them; protect the colored people fully in all their civil and political rights; furnish schools for the education of their children, and give them, with all other classes of the population, the blessings of a free, stable and honest government. These measures were guaranteed in the Democratic platform at Baton Rouge; Nioholls and Wilts and all the oioers of the Nicholls government are pledged to them. But there is astronger guarantee of their enforcement than the platform of any political party or the pledges of political candidates, how ever high, and that guarantee is the fact that upon their enforcement de pends the peace and happiness of the State; the revival of its commerce and agriculture, in short, the prosperity of its people. PORTRAIT OF DR. WARREN STONE. Mr. H. Bonzano has commended him self to the kindly regards of the nu merous friends and admirers of our great and lamented surgeon and philan thropist, the late Dr. Warren Stone, by purchasing, at his own expense, An trobus' fine portrait of him, and pre senting it to the Charity Hospital, to be placed by the side of that of the muni ficent Poydras, whose liberal legacy fur nished the chief basis and foundation of that institution. This was a noble act of Mr. Bonzano, alike creditable to his heart and head. His letter of presentation is equally creditable to his taste, his sentiments of benevolence and his appreciation of the highest qualities and brightest traits of human nature. We give it below. Dr. Warren Stone was a man who will be the last to be forgotten by the gen erations in which he lived and to whose relief and welfare he devoted his splen did talents and generous deeds. He was a grand man; grand in his moral, intellectural and physical virtues. No one impressed all with whom he was brought into intercourse more than he did. Of gigantic mental and physical structure and masculinity, he was as gentle as the most sensitive and deli cate woman to all appeals to the affec tions and sentiments-to the heart. Of immovable strength and power of will, and dauntless fidelity to duty and hon esty, he was at the same time the most yielding and submissive to the appeals of suffering humanity, the promptings of pity, charity and magnanimity. Xt is indeed an agreeable incident in this a of dreary selfishness and ab sorption in peisonal cares and aspira tions, to find one citizen, at least, who has yielded to the all-pervading senti ment of love and admiration for our great surgeon, and sought, at some sacrifice, to perpetuate the remem brance of him in the manner indicated by the donation and the very appro priate letter which follows: Naw OnltL.se, April 2, 1877. To the Board of A'mintltrators of the Charity Hospital, New Orleans, La.: Gentlemen-It is a source of much gratification to me to inform you that, through the kindness If a friend, I am enabled to present to you, and through you to the hospital, an oil painting. lafe Sas, of the late rnd lamented Dr. Warren stone. 'The work was executed some years ago by Mr ntrobus, an tminent artist, and allo connoisseurs attet thai it is a most exoellent likeness of the deoesed. It is my wish, if you will permit me to make the aggestion that it be placed in the room of the Board of Administrators alongside of the ikeness ofour deceased friend and benefactor Julien Poydras, whom, if comparion were permissible while living he even oatshone in noble qulhti:.s and virtue, hLving combined moss rare and ex traordinary professional qualittes with a hears whioh knew no other tlrobbing than that of be nevolenoe and kindness towards the whole hu man family and especially to the poor slok and forsaken. Yours, respeotflly, H DONZNO. LOUISIANA corTON FACTORY. A few years ago Mr. Cavaroc succeed ed in organizing and establishing a com pany to set in operation a cotton factory in the Third District of this city. The project met with much favor and the stock was soon taken and made up in a brief time. The land was purchased and the buildings and machinery put up, and the whole establishment placed in working' order. Before the factory could be started, there occurred one of those periodical convulsions in financial affairs; Mr. Cavaroc with his bank, in surance company and the factory were swept into the whirlpool of financial trouble. Ever since, the factory has been closed and the fine and complete machinery unemployed and rusting. The original cost of the establishment was $180,000. Yesterday it was sold in liquidation of the affairs of the com pany, and the highest bidder was Mr. Davis McCann for forty thousand dol lars. Mr. McCann is the proprietor of one of the largest foundries in this city, and is also a large capitalist. It is his purpose to convey this property to a company which will be organized by several large capitalists to carry on the cotton manufacture in this city on a large scale. Thi is a movement in the right direction. The lack of manufac turn~g enterprise and employment has been a great repraooh to this ity. There islac eo whiy, If ptoperly ~iot~ agrliulture into more, valuable forms, like the manufaoture of raw cotton into yarns and cloths, and of coarse sugar into refined sugar. The present cheap rates of labor and the large number of unemployed per sons in our city offer inducements to this sort ef enterprise greater than were ever before presented. The success of Mr. Ed. Richardson with his mills at Wesson, Miss.. has demonstrated the practicability and profitableness of this enterprise, and we hope that the pur" chasers of the Louisiana Cotton Factory will further illustrate the value and suc cess thereof, by setting the factory in the Third District, in active operation. OUR CONGRESSMEN. Messrs. Levy, Ellis and Gibson, of our Congressional delegation, arrived in the city from Washington Monday. Gen. Gibson and Col. Levy are both quite unwell. Mr. Ellis is in vigorous health, but we have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him. These gentlemen have done noble work for the State, and they deserve the grateful thanks of the people of every portion of it. Their duties have been arduous and difficult, and we can well appreciate their sense of the heavy responsibility which rested upon them when the issue of the presidential count and the fate of Louisiana hung literally upon their action. They acted courageously and wisely, and their con stituencies fully and cordially indorse their course. Col. Levy's Congressional labors closed with the recent session oilongress, and, though his District will be ably repre sented in the next Congress by Judge Elam, we cannot but express the regret that his large abilities are to be with drawn from a field in which they were conspicuously exercised for the honor and interest of Louisiana. The New York Heral.l is, in some re spects, the best reflector of public opin ion to be found in the journalistic world of this country. No other paper has so happy a knack at catching the drift of current events and reflecting the views and wishes of the vast majority of the people who care nothing for sentiment or technical right, but pride themselves on being, above all things, practical and anxious to secure the good of the greatest number, even at the expense of abstract justice. The Herald often has hobbies and rides them to death, but it rarely indulges in the luxury of politi cal theories or principles; it searches for and gives expression to the views of those who create that "public opinion" which is mightier than any mere sta tute, and without the support of which no law can stand very long. For this reason, and because it is known to represent the views and ideas of no party or clique, men of all parties are accustomed to look to its col umns for an indication of the effect pro duced upon the average mind of the country by any act or passing event of national interest, and its conclusions are almost universally found to be correct. We are glad, therefore, to see that it takes the same view with regard to the mission of Mr. Hayes' Commissioners to Louisiana which we have always taken, namely, that they may do some good if they will confine themselves to investi gating and reporting to the country at large the actual facts concerning the political situation in this State, but that, if they attempt to make any bargains, or effect any compromise, or assume in any way to exercise authority and con trol over the Nicholls government or the action of our Legislature, they will make themselves ridiculous and their mission a fiasco. The Herald does not admit the possibility of any other settle ment of the Louisiana question that the complete and permanent establishment of the Nicholls government, and therein it certainly reflects the public opinion of the country. It is a fortunate thing for the tax payers of this State that all of the Radi oal legislators really elected did not take their seats in the legal Legislature. If they had, it is doubtful if half the re form measures already enacted into laws could have been carried through. There is no telling what improper influ ences might have been brought to bear upon those who, under the immoral and pernicious teachings of their carpet-bag leaders, have come to believe that there is no great harm In making merchandise of the legislation of the State and giv ing their votes to the highest bidder. But we do not despair of witnessing a change of heart on the part of these mis guided people. When the Legislature meets in regular session in January next, it is to be hoped that these same men, under the benign influence of a pure administration of the Government, will have had removed from their eyes the scales of moral blindness and preja dice, and not only formed a true concep tion of their duty to the State, but take their seats resolved to perform that duty and to contribute, to the extent of their power, to the enactment of measures calculated to bring about harmonious relations between the white and colored races and to restore prosperity to this suffering State. Friday next is the memorial day set apart for the decoration of the graves of our Confederate dead, but it so happens that the grand citizens' mass meeting has been fixed for the same date. The patriotic members of the Ladies' Ben evolent Association have in conse quence decided upon anticipating the mournful anniversary by a day, so as not to intrferfeWith the grand demon .u at . o u nsr own Xloholls.
