JJY FROST, LAWSON, CORKER <te A-RAY. VOL. 111. i [From the Wilmington (Del.) Gazette.] ' 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. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. 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. m - 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 require a clear | Thero is a man in Portland, Maine, who supports his family in a handsome style by simply tying an ablebodied cat by tho tail to a clothesline overy night, and then going out in the morning to collect tho soap, shaving cups, brushes, eot., thpowu into tho yard by. angry 'boarders iu adjoining houses.

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.’ I F.S FOR LFSAL ADVERTISING: finite uf land, etc., In/ Administrators, f.'rtcutots, I nr Guardians are ri Ijutr.it hy late to be held on the \ first Tuesday in the month, between the hours yf ten p to l ' forenoon aud three in Ihr oft-moon, at the I mart Iwusc in the county in which the jrruperty it \ situated.

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.
