<t fmi-Wfcfeltj $tpaMtaNt. TUESDAY .HT1-* FOR PItKSTOKNT, HORACE GREELEY,. Of Now York, for vice-president, GRATZ BROWN, Of Missouri. MASS MEKTING! A meeting will be held at tlie Court house, in St. Fiancisville, on". 'Satur day, the 20th inst.. for the purpose of ratifying the nomination of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Brown ; also to choose delegates to attend the Liberal State Convention, to convene in New Orleans, on the first Monday in Aug., next. All who concur in this opinion, ir respective of previous political opin ion, are cordially invited to be pres ent at the time and place above men tioned. The caterpillars have made their appearance in Alabama. Joseph, in the book of Genesis, is , snid to have worn the first Doliy Var den coat. Sugar has risen a cent and a lmlf« per pound in the Sau Francisco mar ket, owing to the strike in the New> York refineries. Olive Logan tries to prove in her last book that Wirt Sykes is a clever fellow and a good husband, but she must admit that there is something in a name. Miss Virginia Goldschaaidt, Jenny Lind's eldest daughter, a young lady of eighteen, is said to possess as glori ous a voice as her mother's ever was. The Shreveport Times repudiates the ticket headed by McEnry and eays that the people must look to the August Convention for a ticket to beat Grant and Kellogg. A young wife on being lately asked what she should do in case her hus band should fail, replied : " Live on arms to be sure. I have two, and he lias two, with my hands at the ends of them." We will venture to say that that couple will n ever fail. On the 4th inst., the members of the bar of the Fifth Judicial District met in Baton Rouge, for the purpose of selecting candidates for the offices of District Judge and District Attor ney. Col. J. O. Fuqua, of East Baton Rouge, was recommended for the Judgeship, and Mr. Moore of East Feliciana, for District Attorn ey. Less than four years ago, Streator, Illinois, was a cornfield, now it is a prosperous and growing town, with tlie Chicago, Burlington and Quincy the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis the Fairbnry and North-western ; and the Chicago, Pekin and South-western mlroads all entering there. Always avoid the company in which you are willing to tell a coarse jest, because for you it is a demoralizing company. Grossness is never humor ous ; profanity is never admirable ; and if your manner and speech once begin to ravel out upon that edge all their manliness and charm are in dan ger. In Turin, Italy, there ase, according to the last census, no less than eighty women over one hundred years old, The youngest is one hundred and two, the oldest one hundred and sev enteen years old. None of these are a burden to the city or people, each living within the circle of their numer ous descendants. Declaring that between Greeley and Grant no one can hesitate Ion about making a choice, The Yotders (N. Y. ) Gazette (Dem.) says : " The country sighs for and needs relief from the incumbus of Grant's corrupt ndminirtration, and, in the nomination of Greeley by the Liberal Republi cans, we see the way clear to elect a people's President from among the people, and give us an administra tion of simplisity and economy place of one of military display and reckless expenditure." The Grand Duke Alexis is not en jo ying himself as well in Brazil as his reception in North America led him to expect. ïlio warmth of his wel come ill the United States spoiled him and anything savoring of coldness would be quickly marked. The Bra zilians scarcely noticed him, and the public attentions shown him were few and inconsiderable. Even the press treated him with marked coolness, and went so far as to circulate disa greeable stories about hi s habits. THE RESULT. Now that the nomination of Hor ace Greeley anil 13. Gratz Browu by the Baltimore Convention is au ac complish fact, wo can look about and express our opinion with môre secu rity then heretofore, although in our own mind we were satisfied that that result alone could bring about victo ry, and that the Liberal Republicans alone, were unable to cope with so formidable an enemy as is represent ed by the present National Adminis tration. It was admitted long ago, by all fair minded persons, that un less the Democracy endorsed the Cincinnati Platform and candidates, Grant's administration would con tinue in full sway for four years more. Never before in the history of any political party, was there made use of such tactics to defeat an enemy as is presented to-day in thé en dorsement of Greeley and Brown by the National Democracy. There party feelings and prejudices have been cast abide, and in the momen tary impulse of enthusiasm, there has been u complete fraternization of all the elements opposed to mis rule and centralization in our gov ernment. Free-traders, and high tariff men, have buried their past differences, and now clasp hands in Union, to eement the friendship be tween North and South, East and West, and to make it as firm and as enduring as the rock of Gibralter.— For once iii the history of the Uni ted States, no party lines have been drawn around a presidential candi date, and in the person of Horace Greeley, we have a man who has tbe manhood to rise above tlie turbid waters of a political turmoil, and say that " if elected he will be the people's President," and " that his actions will be in full accord with the interests of his fellow-citizens." Then let the people send forth a hearty response to this nomination, which means the return of civil and political rights to the oppressed of the land. FROM THE PARISHES. The Liberal Republicans of Pointe Coupee, will hold tlieir Convention, on the 20th inst. J The Echo reports that four prisouers lodged in the Parish Jail, attempted to escape on tlie 6th inst. The Fourth of July was celebrated with great pomp at Shreveport. The West Baton Rouge Sier/ar Planter regrets to acknowledge what it has so long feared as disastrous to the cotton crop in that parish. The caterpillar has appeared in several places in West Baton Rouge, and their work of destruction has com menced. The Sugar Planier also an nounces that the boll worm is report ed in several places, while the cut or grass worm, is injuring the young corn and has also attacked the young cane. Politicafty, the S mjuv Planter is Liberal, and says : The Democratic Party in New Orleans, have hoisted the banner of Greeley and Brown, bpt cling to their State organization and ticket. Of course, they had to wait until the Baltimore Convention met and acted before they could as sume any responsibility of their own. Like Baalam's ass, they could not speak until they saw the angel. A mass meeting was held at Ever green, in the Parish of Avoyclls, on the 1st inst., at which Greeley and Brown were endorsed. The crop prospects in Iberville con tinues good. The Iberville News, says : The charbon continuas its ravage on Bay ous Plaqumine, Gross Tete and Grand River. In Concordia Parish, The Vidalia Herald says : The yield of cotton does not promise large. The financial result of the Great Boston Jubilee is one of those things which no fellow can find out. One newspaper, professing to be well in formed, assures us that there is a deficit of §150,000 ; but another news paper faintly declares this statement to be "somewhat premature." All the bills are not in, nor have all the receipts yet been accounted for ; but when they are, the more enthusiastic believe that there will be enough to meet all demands, with something over quite handsome for the great Gilmore. What a world for dancing in this would be, if it were not neces sary to pay the piper ! Why is an empty champagne bot tle like an .«a-p'ntu ? Because it has lost its " pop." A DOSE FOR FOREIGNERS. The following extract from speech of Hon. Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, delivered in 1S5G, shows bow much that gentleman loves the foreigner. In the Conven tion of the American Know Noth ing party held in Philadelphia, the same year, he voted to exclude the Louisiana delegation because they would not sign a pledge of hostility to Catholics : " In. the heart of the foreigner beats not a single noble impulse, not one single throb of patriotism ! He is so brutal and degraded that he has no sympathy for anything but cabbage and lager beer, potatoes and buttermilk, or some other out landish dish, fit only for bogs of the street or pen. All the oaths in the world cannot bind them. " Some tell me that many foreign ers intelligent —yes, intelligent ! How in the name of Almighty God can they say it ? Look at Use Dutch man smoking bis pipe, and if you see a ray of intelligence in that dir ty, idiotic-looking face of his show it to me '' We must change the laws of the laud and prevent these ignorant, de graded paupers from votiug and holding office. Villains and ruffians who congregate in and around our villages and large cities, and live by stealing arid begging from the Amer icans. Some say they have rights. So they have—the right to live un der our laws and till the soil, and do as we bid ! They are inferior in intellect and intelligence to the Americans, and they must be and shall be put down and kept down if it has to be done at the point of the Layonet anu with powder and lead." For tin* Semi-Wee'kly Republican. ] KY ROGERS HAS REDEVIVED AGAIN. In tbe history of all nations, the strict and impartial administration of justice that is meted out to offen ders against tlie law, is the surest indication of tlie progress of civili zation, and of the fact that the schoolmaster (not Superintendent of Public Education) is not " abroad," but has been constantly at home and has faithfully attended to Iiis duties. We haw rjoi hi:n. —Not the school master, but the strict and impartial administrator aforesaid. Show me Ilm man. —Here he is Judge Blank is the man. For the perspicuity of his charges to the jury (of one) and the luminosity of his decisions on all points of law, he can be equalled by few and excelled by none. When we read in this wide spread journal the proceedings of his court, and see the impartial man ner in which ju.ilice is administered, we can only exclaim in the language of tlie Poet, " So young and yet so fair," and can rest peacefully in our homes, knowing that the mantle of the late lamented Ivy Rogers has fallen upon shoulders so worthy to bear it. When we review the political course of His Excellency Gov. H. C, Warmoth, we cannot help being struck with the fact "that in all ilia appointments throughout the S Late and especially in this Parish, his judgment has been guided by a wis dom which one could hardly credit in an official of bis tender years. We have diligently read and pon dered over the arguments in and de cisions of the Supreme Court of the State, and of the United States also, but have never met with anything that, for perspicuity and diction could begin to compare with Judge Blanks learned and obstruse exposi tion of the knotty points of law.— Can it be possible that among all the learned jurists that our country has seen produced, there has not been one until to-day that could dispense with all the red tape aud circumlo cution of our law courts ; and sim ply by issuing a writ of Marouster (a thing heretofore unheard of) set tle the most intricate aud perplexing case iu a few minutes. The trial by jury was considered a big thing when it was discovered, " Palladium of our liberties, &c." So was the " Have bis-carcass" and the " Sii3baraser," but they all pale and sink into mere insignificance when compared with the writ of Marouster. All great discoveries and invention.'] take us by surprise, not so much by the great benefits that they confer upon us, but rather because we had never discovered or invented them before. So it is with the " Maro us tor." The only wonder now is—how in the h— 1 did we ever manage to live without it or long ? Have the wheels of the car of justice been clogged so long, and millions upon millions of money been paid to make it move on when simply by a scratch of the pen and $11 50, it could have been clean out sight long ago ? It seems im possible, but yet. it is a fact, Fellow Parishioners, we congratulate you We congratulate ourselves. We con gratulate everybody that the proud distinction of discovering this sim ple but so efficient aid to justice has been earned by one of " our boys." Few among us yet appreciate the inestimable blessing that has been given to us by Judge Blank. No matter what ills may befall us here after, no matter whether Horace B. Grant or Ulysses Gratz Greeley shall rule over the United States, for the next century, we have only to say to ourselves " Marauder," and we shall feel secure and happy.
