New OnLa.A,
Mareh.26th 1868.
-1b. '%bsr.-The true evidence of the I'
wealth and the prosperity of a people is "
whbn they are clear of beggt rs. and loafers.
I must acknowledge that not for a good e
many yalre&tve I seen so few beggars in '
New Qrleas. and so few Indeed these are a
that it called my attention to the subjct, d
particularly when I walked in the vicinity
of the hotels atld public rendezvous. I w tb
I could my the same of t'Loafe-s." of that
gsatr I am truly sorry to say, there are
too many in this Metropolis, but as I said
in my former that in another year from this. t
'Lostfer" till not be able to ,east much lo:t
ger In New Orleans.
The properspirit of the mechanics seems I
to be aroused not only in New Orleans but
lu Mobile also. There seems to me to be I
a resless in that clase ot the people: these
movements are not for high wages but
lot eight bonus labor. I do not believe that
a strike for wages can be the object as I am 1
sure that the mechanics of every discription
are well faid in the 8 ath, and in Loui-iana
high wages have always been offered and
paid for good mechanics,
But it it this Mr. Editor, the time hau ar
rived wh, n the mechanic Is going to look
to his i:,terests and also to his mental col
ture. In re'eaence to that subject, I do not
iintend to enter into a controversy or wish to
contest for the tight hours labor either to
t give my opinion on the subject, but the sa.
I ture of the move to me is very clear.
Ttie meetsnic now begins to think or his ac*
tual condiion--he feels as he had been nsg
l tected. He w.tnts time to improve himself
mentally, he wants time to road, he wants
time to bestow upo3 practical education. he
warn's time for social and friendly inter
course, and in fact. wants to attend to the
elevation of his children, and the domestic
duties of his family.
The folloiliug paragraph, I cl'p from the
"g Southern Star,' of Sunday last. That pa.
d per. Mr. Edlitor. Is drocating with much
sz:al the prdgressive-mov'ment of the me
Y chantic'. It says, *The moveroen's of the
mechanics of this city t(ew Orleans) in
it holding, that eight oturs shall constitute a
' days work, was for the purpose of giving
e more repose to the bety. podl this enabling
t them to iniprove the mind in the knowledge
d of books, the sciences and the arts."
It is very evident that there is a strong
t5 effort made by the mechanics and all those
ti interested to establish a progresive move in
,* his state, whlich if carried out as I hope sin
1e cerely it will, will lead also to a powerful
to emua'ion among that useful ches of opera
tives.
S While emulation I hope will be the great
1 altimulous of the mechauic and the artist. I
n" will here say something about it and par le
it ularly allude to the bearings of emulation
-s with the mechanic, and the man of inven.
')U tve genious, In tblhi country where free
at don of action and pursuit, is tolerated and
W open to every one, it is therefore that erula
'. tion becomes the heart and soul of the thrif
it, ty mechanic.
By emulatio:, we mean a debt of pride dent
ambition, and selfcsteem that every man ole a
freels, and should feel for his "handy work" Butt
so as to compete bonorably with his fellow and
mechanic. This be knows he must lave or, with
if ne intends to m.'et competition on fair in hi
ground, he has to exert himself sn as to pro- y,
duce as good an article, if not better, then well
his nghbor. Should hbe bhaye qver, have 2
the stern ambition, the sutperlor skill of milk tie
ing a nicer, better and more complete ar icle shoo
than that of his neighbor. or fellow mechanic, in ft
itis then very certain that his nameand char. -nth
acter as a skillful pechanic will ein be dids
known, and of corse. be looked for in pre- robi
ference to others who have not this, will give
him not only meaos to forward his vies a,
but will decidedly place him in a posi.
tion to be respated and noted as the man .
of merit and trilt. Fa
I will in my next explain more of the sat
bea lug and influences of emulation in the two
mechanic art. and the effects it has upon ino
the rilsng generation in respect to industry con
and moral worth. me

The President baring banded Forney down
to posterity as a dead duck, the question
most diicalt of sd'ution is to de'e' mite to
what species of the greant family of web-f·m .
ed waterfois does Forney belong. We $'
think the my4tery one of very easy s, lution.
We entertain to profound a respect .for
"canvas-backs," "mallards," "red.necks;"
"sprig tails," "black.backs," and teal Or
summer ducks, to class such a fishy, greedy
bird as Forney with any of the rxcellent ft
spe'et o
Forney 's a "dead didapper," and our ad- 8
miration of the President's skill as quick
shot ii intenMdled when we recollect that It O
is next to impossible to kill this fishiest and n
most artful of ducks with an ordinary gun. d
Of all the family of "divers." the "didap- "
per" it the most dexterous at diving and
turning someranlts in the water. He is a
voracious and exceedingly fishy little fellow,
Sancd bears the same relationship to the great (
family of ducks as Forney does to the edi. g
Stotial fraternity. He is perpetually dis ing,
and a hen he goes under, no one can make
the slightest elculation as to the exact spot
or moment whe;l be will come to the sour
e face. Having ing ur younger days paddled t
*hours in pursuit of, and expended pounds
of ammunition upon, this wary diver, we
cannot to aCueh commend that rp'endtd sa~ot
'from the portico of the White louse which
"keeled" the political "didapper" over.
As the bird can never be killed when his
eI ye is opon the sportsman, forn yi the "'di
dappe," undoubtfdly met his fate when be
Swas looking inteil'ly at Thgd. Stevens, .ad
a did not think that "the man at the othefend
- of the avenue" kept a gd, and shot fl hy
ducks upon National anniversaties.
But the divings and somersanlrs of Fpr
ney, the falthless are now at the end. The
blind rage and insane abuse of the Pres~ -
e dent which defiles the pages of the Ctroni
cle and Pree, remind us of the spasmodic
fluttering of the "dying didadper, as be flap1
w and quivers convulsively upon the surface,
r, with a heavy charge of Executive duck-shot
it in his brain.
'd Years hence, the old men of Washinl ton
en well tell their grandchildren how, one bright
ye 22d February morning, 'all in the olden
tk time," they saw President Andrew Johnson,
tle shoot a foul, greedy, fishy little duck righ'
ic, in front of the White House, and, as an or
r. nitbological hero of the nursery, the ."dead
be didap 0er" will rank next to the slain "ooelk
