' THE CAUSE OF LOUISIANA IS THE
CAUSE OF ALL THE STATES.
Protest Against Federal Usurpation.
In view of the sad condition of Lou
isiana through the misgovernment of
the Radical party, the interference of
the President and his official pets at
New Orleans,in the affairs of the State
some months ago, together with the ;e
--fusual of Congress to remedy the evils
brought upon the State by said inter-
following resolutions, passed
just before the adjournment of the Leg
islature, appear eminently proper, and
should meet the approbation of every
one who values local self-government or
desires to maintain the rights of the
States to manage their own political af
fairs within the scope of the Federal
Constitution. It would be well if such
resolutions were passed by the Logisla
tures of all the States. They could do
no possible injury, and would teud to
warn the Federal authorities of the dan
ger of attempting to destroy the gov
ernment of the States and at the same
time the love which the people have for
our Republican institutions. It is im
possible that the people of the States
who are constantly annoyed and inter
fered with by the Federal authorities
for mere partisan purposes, and to main
tain in authority men who arc not the
choice of the citizens through their re
gular elections, and quarter upon them
carpet-baggers and ignorant negroes to
cat out their substance, can long remain
attached to the Republican forms of our
government. No country has been so
tortured and harrassed by bad govern
ment during the same period as the
States of the South :
JOINT RESOLUTIONS ON FEDERAL RELA
TIONS IN REFERENCE. TO LOUISIANA.
Resolved hj the Senate and Home of:
Representative* of the State of Delaware]
in General Assembly met ,
Ist. That the intervention of the Fed- j
eral authorities in the affairs of thcState 1
of Louisiana, to defeat the will of the!
people of that State, as expressed at the
polls, in the selection of their State offi
cers, is an act of usurpation, subversive |
ofState rights,destructive of civil liber
ty, and a flagrant violation of. sworn duty
of the executive head of the Federal
Government.
2d. That the declaration of the
President of the United States in his
message to Congress,that “no executive
control is exercised in any of them
(meaning the Southern States) that
would not be exercised in any of the
States under like circumstances,” is a
menace to the people of all the States,
calculated to arouse the people of the
whole country, and should awaken a
sleepless vigilance for the preservation
of liberty to themselves and their pos
terity.
3d. That the maintaining by military
power a Federal Judge, who has assum
ed to create for a sovereign State a
Legislature and Executive against the
express will of the people thereof, as
declared by the ballot at the polls, is
an unmistakable indication of a design
of those controlling the Executive
branch of the Federal Government to
deny to the people the inestimable
fight <jf self goverumcnt.and to central'
ijte aDd consolidate all the powers of
government in tho Federal authorities
at Washington.
That these usurpations of power,
inaugurated without the authority of
lajy and in flagrant violation of the
plainest priciples of Republican govern
ment, if acquiesce 1 in by the people,
will, in the opinion of this General As
sembly, lead to tho destruction of Re
publican liberty and the establishment
of a centralized despotism upon tho
ruins thereof.
i sth. That in obedionco to a sense of
duty to the people we ropresent, wo
hereby solemnly protest against the
action of the Executive branch of the
* r
“SALUS POPULI BUPH EM A LEX B S TO.”
WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1873.
Federal Government over the people of
Louisiana,and express to the pcoplcof that
State, assurances of the deepest sympa
thies of the pooplo of Delawaro.in their
effort to maintain their just rights
against usurpation, despotism and ty
ranny.
Resolved, That duly authenticated
copies of the foregoing resolutions be
transmitted by the Secretary of State
to his Excellency, John McEnery,
Governor of the State of Louisiann,and
to the Governors of the several Sta’cs
of the Fedearl Union respectively.
The Right Way of Correcting
Mistakes.
A story is told of a prominent man
who lived in Detroit forty years ago,
and who at that time owned more steam
boat stock than any other man in the
Western country, besides other wealth
to a large amount, lie had just com
pleted a splendid new warehouse at
Buffalo, and wanting a suitable clerk to
take charge of it, he advertised for one
in the papers. The next morning, early,
a candidate for the posi'iou presented
himself, a rather flashy young man in
appearance, when the following conver
sation occurred:
•‘Young man, when you make a mis
take in any of your books, how do you
correct it?” The young man explained in
a very profuse manner how he should
proceed to make it all right. “A good
way no doubt, to do it.,” replied the old
gentleman, “but I shan’t want you.”
Very soon another aspirant put iu an
appearance. A similar question was
asked him, and in a long and eloquent
manner he pointed out the remedy in
all such cases. All the reply nr as,
Young man, l shan’t want you.” Some
three or four others dropped in during
the day, and to each one the same ques
tion was put, and they all had some
smart way of rectifying mistakes in tbeir
books. The old gentleman was entire
ly ignorant himself of the art of book
keeping. buthe had wisdom in all tilings
which is more than a match for learning.
Just at the close of the day a plainly
dressed man, with a bright eye and a
brisk step, called for the situation. “I
want to ask you just one question :
When you make a false entry on your
books how do you go to work to correct
it ?” Turning upon the questioner a oold
sharp look, the young man replied, “I
don’t make that kind of mistakes, sir.”
“Ah ! my dear sir, you are just the man
I have been looking for all day,” and in
a few moments the man who corrected
his blunders bv not making them was
installed in the office. —Norwich Bulletin.
Friendship. —Y"oung men have co.n
inouly an unguarded frahkness about
them, which makes them an easy prey !
for tho artful and experienced. They j
are too apt to look upon every knave or
fool who tells them he is their friend, to !
be really so—ami hence, too often, loss I
and ruin follow. Beware, therefore, ot
I
proffered friendship—receive all with
civility, bo slow to give 3’our confidence.
Do not let your vanity and self love
make you suppose that people become
your friends at first sight, or evon upon
short acquaintance. Ileal friendship is
of slow growth. Friendship hastily
produced is too much like what the
poet describes:
‘And What is friendship but a name,
A charm that lulls to sleep,
A shade that follows vvealtli and frame,
And leaves the wretch to weep."
A Strange Discoveuv. —Gen Cling
ipan, of North Carolina, writes a latter
to tha Asheville Expositor giving proof
of the existence of a people in North
Carqlinq, superior to the Indiau raoo in
arts of intelligence, if not prior iu point
of time, that is indisputable. Who they
were, where they oamc from. an< l how
and when they disappeared, will doubt r
less ever be unsolved questions; but for
all that, anything relating to these an
cient Carolinians, a; we may call them
for want of a better name, will bo in
teresting.— Atlanta Constitution.

Violating Flags of Truce.
While Capt. Jack is being over
whelmed with anathemas for violating a
flag of truce, and his whole tribe is
doomed to be exterminated for it, an
ugly reminiscence rises up as to the
United States on subject. There
are numbers of United States army
officers and of citizens generally who
can recall the trcaohery of the govor.i
ment to Osceola, chief of the Seminoles.
It was about thirty-five years ago the
war against the Setuinoles was closed
by an act of the grossest perfidy. The
officers in command at St. Augustine
: nvited Osckola, Tiger Tail, Wild
Cat and other chiefs to conteivncc, un
der a flag of truce. The chiefs atten
ded Ly many warriors, accepted the in
vitation, having no suspicion of treach
| ery. They were entrapped, surroun
ded by soldiers in ambush, Osckola
was sent a prisoner to Charleston,where
like a caged eagle, he pined away and
died.
Commenting on this disgraceful pas
sage in history, the New York Exprett
says :
‘We do not at this writing call to
mind any instance where savages have
fired on the white flag of peace till uow.
It has been a part of the religion of red
men to respect a noufral flag, and the
abandonment of this policy will justly
go hard with the Mod >cs; but it is
just ns well to remain*} ar, when we
teach the bloody instructions, how of
ten is it that they return to plague the
inventor.”— N. 0. Titties.

Married Men. —Married men are of
two kinds—good and bad. The bad
arc truly horrible; the good, very good,
indeed. The bad married man ill-treats
his family in every way, and generally
ends by running away, and leaving his
wife to earn a living by needlework.
But the good married man—well, he is
not madly in lovo with any more, but
he believes that there never was such a
woujan as his wife. He docs not see
Time’s ehaoges in her face; she is al
ways young to him. Every baby binds
them closer to each other.
There is an expression in a good
man’s face tiiat a bachelor's cannot have.
It is imliscribablo. He is a littlo near
er the angels than the prettiest young
fellow living. You can see that his
broad breast is a pillow for somebody’s
head, and that little fi igcrs pull his
whisker-*. When soiu : one his said,
“Husband,” an 1 other some, “papa,’’a
seal is set upon the forehead. No one
—no woman, at least —ever mistakes
the good married man for an instant.
It is only the erratic one who leaves
you in doubt. The good ono can pro
tect all the unprotected females, and
make himself generally agreeable to the
ladies, and yet never leave a doubt on
any mind that there is a precious little
woman at home worth all the world to
him.
Remorse. —We need be careful how
we deal with those about us, for every
death carries with it, to some small
circle of survivors, thoughts of so much
omitted and so little done, of so many
things forgotten, and so many more
which might have been repaired, that
such recollections arc amougtho bitter
est we can have. There is no remorse
so deep as that which is unavailing; if
we would bo spared its tortures, let us
remember this in time. Meu who look
on nature and their fellow-men, aud cry
that all is dark and gloomy, are in the
right; but tho sombre colors are reflec
i ted from their owu jaundiced eyes and
I hearts. The real hues are delicate,and

Important to Stockholders of Na
tional Banks. —The New York Times
says that on Wednesday last a consul
tation of the most eminent lawyers of
that city was held at tho office of the
legal geutleman representing the deposi
tors, to consider the question of holding
the stockholders responsible for the de
ficits ofTaintor, the defaulting cashier
of the Atlantic National Bank, and it
was unanimously oonccded that uudor
tho fifty-third section Natioual Bank
aet the directors can bo held liable for
all damages sustained by depositors or
creditors. As all the stockholders are
also liable, eac’i to the amount of his
stock, it would seem that there is no
danger of anybody else than stockhol
ders and directors losing anything.
A resent lumberman's circular esti
mates the number of railroad ties in pre
seut use in tho United States at 150,-
000,000. A cut of 200 ties to the a> re
is above rather than under the average
and it therefore has required tho pro
duct of 750,000 acres of well timbered
land to furnish the supply. Railroad
ties last about five years; consequently
30,000,000 ties are used annually for
repairs, taking the timber from 150,000
acres. The manufacture of rolliug stock
disposes of the entire yield of 350,000
acres, and full supply of nearly 500,000
acres more, every year. It appears,
then, that our railroads are stripping
the country at the rate of 1,000,000
acres per annum; and their demands
are rapidly increasing.
A good story is told of Dr. Shelton
Mackenzie. Some time ago the doctor
accompanied somo fair ladies to the
Navy Yard. The day was fine, but
gusty ; he was eloquently describing on
a ferry-boat the beauty of tho surrouud
ing scenery, when a puff of wind gen
tly lifted his hat off his head, and car
ried it like a bird flapping its wings up
the river. ‘Good heavens!’ cried tho
doctor, ‘there’s a poor fellow’s hat in
the aiv. Well, that’s a joke I always
laugh at !’ The roar of laughter that
greeted him all around, and the direc
tion all eyes took to his head, induced
him to put his hand there. ‘By the
powers.’ quoth he, ‘it’s my hat!’ But
his native wit returning, ho said, as he
saw it plump itself into tho waters of
tho East river : ‘That's true to nature ;
a beaver always takes to the water.’

Taxes in New Orleans. —A New
Orleans newspaper announces that “Mr.
Charles Morgan, tho great capitalist,
who has heretofore paid taxes to tho
amount of $97,000 per annum, has re
fused to pay either licenses or taxes,
and openly declares that if the so-called
Kilogg government institutes suits
against him he is ready to adopt the
proper measures for his defense.”
♦ — ——
A Good Compromise.- -Tho New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company
having been compelled by the Courts
to pay the amount of a policy effected
by a man who afterwards committed
suicide, though it contsinad a stipula
tion that the company should not pay
the same in that very event. The com
pany now stipulates in all its policies
that if death result from tho act of the
policy-holder in any form it will return
all the premiums which have bo*n paid
to it, but shall not be liable to any fur
ther claim. This provision will pro
bably be gcucrally adopted.
w
The Wife’s Influence. —A woman ,
in many instancos,has her husband’s for
tune in her power, because sbe may or
mil not conform to his circumstances.
This is her first duty, and it ongbt to
be her pride. No passion for luxury or
display ought to tempt her for a mo
ment to deviate in the least degree from
this line of conduct. She will find her
respectability in it. Any other course
is wretchedness itself, and inevitably
leads to ruin. Nothing can be more
miserable than to keep up appearances.
If it could succeed, it would cost more
than it is worth ; as it never can, its
failure involves the greatest mortifica
tion. Sonic of the sublimest exhibitions
of human virturc have been made by
women who have beou precipitated sud
denly from wealth and splendor to üb
solute want. Then a man’s fortunes
are, in a manner, in the hands of his
wife, inasmuch as his power of exertion
depends on her. If it bo harassed and
worn to a morbid irritability, her gen
tle tones steal over it with a soothing
more potent than the most exquisite
music. If every enterprise be dead,
her patience and fortitude have the
power to rekindle them in the heart*
and he again goes forth to encouuter
with the toils and troubles of life.
n ——
Money. —Precious metals are older
than history. Two thousand years be
fore Christ, Abraham, the Chaldean
shepherd, whose children have never
lost their faith nor thrift, through a
hundred and fourteen generations, re
turned to Egypt, “y?ry rich in cattle,
in silver and gold.” Afterward, says
the Biblical record, he bought the cave
of Machphelah—where his boues were
to rest beside those of Sarah, the wife
of his youth—for “four hundred shekels
of silver, current money with the mer
chant.” The Catholic version has it
“common current money.” Herodotus
asserts that coinage originated with the
Lydians. The world’s coins sines have
been like leaves of autumn. Most are
extinct, but the British Museum pre
serves more than one hnndred and twen
ty thousaud varieties. The Paris col
lection is still greater, and is increased
by two or three thousand every year.
The cabiuet of the Philadelphia mint
contains many antique specimens. Here
are the self-same coins which pious an
cients placed between the cold lips of
their dead to pay old Charon the fer
riage over the Styx. Here are faces of
rulers and captains down to our own
day from Alexander of Macedon, and
the mightiest Julius who bestrode the
narrow world like a Colossus.
A Chinese servant was brought home
the gentleman of tho house, and his
mistress inquired his natuo. “Yung
Hoo Wt” “Oh,” said she, “I cannot
call you that, I will call you Charley.”
“What’s yo w name?” he asked in re
turn. “My name is Mrs. John Brown
ing.” “Welle. I ualle you John!” ex
claimed the Celestial.
