We thought probal,3 or possibly at least, ti
that we should have had to reply to some
thiag more direct and explicit than an in
aendo shaped, in the form of a commnnica- t8
Lion to the DdUmotrt, though whether it it
was genuinely sah or only used as a coy- pt
sring for the ttheis of someitldy else is a
auestion at least doebtfwi, This corres

very innocently but significaitly signs Im
himself Pooa DEBTOR, thus assuming the to
appealing style of other articles in the co
name issue, asks the Editorof the Democrat
or himself, as the case may be, if he does r
not think that wre the editor of the Gazette
whom he pointed at, know that we are
getting more that what the law intended- all
and then goes on to ask for farther infor- va
mation relative to the sice of type, and the tll
difference in the cost of an advertisement, pr
&c., &c. Now as our courteous cotempora- wz
ry has not as yet answered the queries of gru
his anxious enquirer after truth, we w lldo ed
it for him, and to the first questicEf we an- ke
swer no! We too even though we publish are
an official paper, have had a pretty hard
row to hoe, but we have got along so far no
without begging or borrowing, and expect e
if we live, to contibstr d to do so, as our u
business is steadily and slowly increasing, wl
and if we are not too honest, we are too ve
shrewd to step even an inch outside the i
law, when their are so many ready and
willing to up trip us.
We give below the section of the print- c
ing law relative to parochial and judicial r
advertisements, such as Sheriff's sales, Suc- sp
cession ANeices, &c., &c. It will be seen wý
that minion type or its equivalent is made "
by law the standard of measurement, and w
tlhat the space occupied (up and down) in a pn
column, by ten lines of agate type is a cc
square, now eigiht lines of minion fills L pa
that spmee, and betweeln minion and bre
vier, the type we use in setting judicial ad- nt
vertisemcnt*, there is so slight a difference t
in size, that no one but a practical printer m
could perceive it, for in eight lines of million tc
the st*,u'lard, and eight lines ofbrevier the am
type we use, there would never be a differ- 1
ence of mnr'i than two or three words, and A
this dit;brence we have always allowed for g'
and given the advertiser the hbeefit of. In
no official paper in Louisiana with which f
we exchange, is the same indulgence grant- 1l
od to judicial advertisers as we extend, In ti
most of them payment is vigorottsly en
forced after first insertion, and the Opelosas ,
Journal, which publishes more such notices ii
than any other eountmy paper in the State, a
requires payment in advance for a certain P
portion of them, and invariably upon all
after the first insertion.
However contrary to the intcntion, the t
communication of Poon DEBTor., has been r
aservice instead of injury to us, for it gives
us an opportunity of reiterating our fixed
resolve to insert hereafter no judicial ad
vertisement of any kind or for any body,
unless it. is paid for after first insertion at
the legal rates, defined below it as Prittter's
Fees, and we do not intend to ask for them
either, as a~l parties know what they owe
and if they not pay they will have take to

DEAR SI1s--loaring that iofn ommission, l

Ily with it-I write to give you some t
aluable inlmation to commulnicate to r

larters in this vicinity ha.ve found upon e
rial that Paris green is bewst applied with a
rater as the sol\vet; they mixed 11 b Paris

he 40 gallons water sufic iently; but I do
ot think they have verifnt 1 it lby trial as i
et. Paris green is not dlis )lveed by water,
ut is suspended in it; Ih. nue the liquid
uust be consta'tly stired, or shrtken up, t
Fhile you are applying it; but this incou
'enience may probably be obviated by us
ug a little goui arabic, dt xtrine, slippery
In, or other mucilaginous nubstance. The
lanrters generally here int r ad alipPliug the
'aris green in this liquid at ate, and as the
onmon watering-pot, or ,ttrpet spdnkler, r
s thought to he the most ae 'pedious instrn
nett for applying it-with it a hand can
prinkle from eight to ten acres per day:
catering-pots, instead of, it'ters, are now
n demand. As the danger attendirng the
nixilng and applying of tl.e greent in this
Nay is much lass than vwh en used in the
1owdered state, and as it. is much more
cononrical, and applied s'ith far greater
acility, the planters general ly should be in
lnut thter are localities -where water is
not ab:undrt nt enough to ho. thus employed.
For these I advise the trial of arsenic with

On the day of the burning of the i.duti

sure him of his readiness ts ast, in case
there should be any necessity of Nayiing re

deep gratitude to the envoy for hiis kind

NEW INVENTIOS.-The proposed general

set the inventive faiculties of our people at 0
wdrk to devise some plan to apply it even
ly and rapidly t14 the cotton. The best idea t
yet t developed is that Of Mr. John P. Bind
worth, the well known mechanic of this
place, who has invented a simple and effec
tive mach!no by which two rows of cotton
can he sprinkled by a person riding on hore
back. It has been practically tested in the
field, and lronounced a decided success. It
is ca'cnlatedl that a single laborer, working ,
with one of these macbh!tt, will apply thi,
remedy to ten acre its four hours, withsafe

"The remedy I use for worns is simply

- -Senator Morton, now at Washington Ci
ty, is engagedi, as Chairman of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, in gather
uing materials for an elaborate report on the
proposition pending before tH6 Sen'rate, awd
r referred to the committee of which Gover
nor Morton is chlairman, by which the Presi
dent would be elected direct by the popu
lar vote and its incumbent be limited to
one term. Governor Mortb' is the author
r of the rst proposition, and strongly sns
tains bbth. As it is well understood he is
one of the clotest and most intimate politi
Scal and personal friends of President Grant,
a the hearty support he gives to this propos
ed limitation of the Executi'e office, is re
garded by friends of the Administration as
a sufltcient reply to the ttird term talk
now nused for the basis of the new Cesarian
1 mania, Nsidea, there is the best atrhortty
f for stating that the President himself Is
Sheartily ip favor of limiting the Executive
to one term, and maktg that si1 years.
I There is every feason to believe thai the
e anendmenfs which will doubtless be re
Sported from Go7ernor Morton's committee
will receive tie dataqiahfld shpl~ort of the

when w8 iuiember that the Herald displays k
a wonderfully Close aequaintanece with all Foi
the tacally tax colleetors in the State, we Fr
are dubious which to believe. Howevrt s Fae
Mr. Clinton is already after one delinquent, Fa
in Franklin with a fair prospect of bring- Fea
ing him to, let the Herald prosecute the
man it thinks to blame. The party that Ga
first secures a conviction shall be deemed Qn
right. The ThisE hilt a legend on the sub- O
ject to the effect that Mr. WooldridE is Go
dead, but the Herald overruled the plea as Go
irrelevant. Now this has grown to be a He
very perplexing question, but the knottiest t
point about it as to explain how it came to He
be the business of the Herald. It is not An- He

Abandoing Politcs. Ik

We have thought is best to suggest an Jo
abandonment of politics for the present, to Ja
allow a recuperation of material interests Jo
which have long been sunffering because of Ja
the misdirection of the means and energies Jo
of the people. There is no reasonable pros- Jo
pect of another election for tt veral months Ki
to come, and all parties may hold their
peace with safety in the me:uantimre. The K
mopularity of the suggestion is evidenced Ki
by the osoition of the country press, which NK
i. fti rin altd eritirely devoted to railroads, Ki
immigration anrd schemes of general im- KN
provement. In consequence the people are K
becomirg eheerful and hopeful, public maes- K
nur are being calmhnly discussed, and men
who rs*olved six mouths since, when the L
politicians were loudest, to emigrate, have L
concluded to remain with us a little while
longer, and see what the futuretay bring Lo
forth. L
The practical effect of tA  labandon- L
ment of politics may e figureld p in hun- L
drelds of thousands of dollars, and the fact
is becoming more and more appreciated dai- L
ly.
The unification movement has been qdie- -
ly disposed of and is becoming a stale topic
because of the new direction of public sen- L
