The strife, hostility, distrust and estrangement thai have followed from such nues- tiousravo placed our State under the;ctntrol of the depraved, dis hoiest, over-reaching and corrupt. Thi reputation of the State has suf fered Jits credit blasted, its finances clisirqcred, its honor stained and put lid and private prosjierity re tan ed under the influence 01" the stri and the use made of it bythe artlUimd selfish adventurers, who Z hav 1 efnployed porer to accomplish tueie luixisiruu.s results. in our distraqted condition, after the gen eral (elections of last November, we app fiktl in vain to Congress for j reliifathe Administration has,: moi3oyer, thrown its powerful in- j fluep$on the side of our corrupt, usui pit 2: State government, and we j can jvluently hope for no assistance 1 fron our sister States.

It tsjmanifest that nothing but the ljrearance of the colored peo ple 1 reVents them from subjecting I comincsi carriers, and all keepers of flacialof public resort, to such ossei find annoyances as would speet ili' compel the practical ac knovlalgnient of their rights or ; the -tbindonmcnt of business. A mult plieity of suits, the result of whici (o far as our State courts are conttrried) could not be doubtful, woulliion exhaust the endurance of the trjost violent prejudice. Mean whil , during a series of years, the obsti tatc denial of these claims of Our olred fellow-citizens by the whitis k as been tho means of array ing htesand blacks, almost sol idly, in) bitter political hostility agaimt fach other. It 1 aat driven the blacks into an unna ural coalition with a hortle of unscnpulous adventurers, who have iiis secured the political pow er of the commonwealth. How liave ;hy usetl it? To what a sad condi iofi have they not reducetl theStti! It is an oft told tale, ; whicl ;ii a son of Louisiana, hold- ing hsrj honor dearer than "the ruddvtlrops which visit this sad he should not possess the right of suffrage itself ! We are bound to give this great ex'ieriment of .Republican self-government, on the basis of impartial suffrage, a fair trial ; and as long as we assume a position antagonistic in principle to his rights, and there by drive the colored man into op position to us, if harm results we must lay the blame upon ourselves, rather than on the system. Iam persuaded that the natural relation between the white and colored people is that of friendship. I am persuaded that their interests are identical ; that their destinies, in this State where thetwo races are equally divided, are linked togeth er ; and that there is no prosperity for Louisiana which must not be the result of their co-operation. I am equally convinced that the evils anticipated by some from the practical enforcement of equal rights, are mostly imaginary, and that the relations of the races "in the exercise of these rights will speedily adjust themselves to the satisfaction ofall. ,1 take it that nothing but malice or stupidity could find anftiing either in the letter or spirit of the unification resolutions which con templates any interference or dicta tion in the private social relations of the people. These lie entirely outside the tlomain of legislation and politics. It would not be denied that, in traveling, and at places of public, resort, we often share these privileges in common with thieves, prostitutes, gamblers, and others who have worse sins to answer for than the accident of color ; but no one ever supposed that we thereby assented to the social equality of these people with ourselves. I theixTore say that participation in these public privileges involves no question of social equality. IJy the enjoyment in common of such priv ileges, neither whites nor blacks as sert, or assent to social equality, either with each other or even be tween individuals of the same race. I have not proposed to myself any advantages from the resolutions re ferred to. I do not seek or desire office or emoluments. I have in view but the restoration of Louisi ana to the place of honor from which i she has fallen. I I surrender no principle, nor do I separate from any friends. I unite with those who, upon a candid con sideration of the circumstances they do not control, have to extract from them the greatest amount of good that they allow of. If there be any who can propose other and better means, I shall not be backward in adopting them, liut it is very clear to my mind that the strength of a State consists in the harmonious, cordial, contented union of all the good men of the community in honest efforts for the improvement and progress of the whole. It is equally clear that strife, discord, elisunion and tlis tracted efforts and pursuits will produce nothing but weakness and disappointment. The base, selfish, unscrupulous and mercenary always profit from confusion, disorder and the disintegration of society. This is a full, candid, ami, to my mind, accurate view of thesituation, and I shall regulate my conduct ac cordingly, so as to free ourselves from 4 ' carpet-bag " rule, and the Curiosities of My Ofllctv by c. j. There is something very'inex plicable about 'offices.' You can never more than half persuade peo ple that they are really places of business. A mill, a factory, or a warehouse is thought a spot .where time is of value, and into ,f which persons ought not to intrude. A office is never so regarded. ;; I will give one or twoof my own experiences. The first is a very re cent one: ... 1 "Sir," said a tall, thin maiij clad in a'worn, very shining garb, sud denly appearing in the room, "I have called to lay before you pne of the most astonishing inventions of modern times." They all begin in some such impressive way as that. A gas-burner, sir." 1 was busy arranging some papers in a stand-up desk, in a corner, and having both hands full, with a pen held cross ways in my mouth, I was for the moment quite at his mercy. : "Perhaps, sir, you are not aware that in the case of every , kind of burner hut this: T no,''.hmr von gas give otf fe mst noxious efha vium, having a pjeculiarly'ruinous'' effect upon the eyesight." 13y this time I had emptied my hands and mouth, and was advancing upon him. Fixing his eyes upon mine, he started back in distressful hor ror, "Heaven help us, sir," he ex claimed, "how you have suffered already! Your sight, sir, would not last six months longer. This must not be." Before I cculd say a word or lift a finger to stop him, he rapidly glided past me to the table on which the lamp stood. With a nimbleness which rooteel me to the spot in ap prehension, he whipped off the shade, then the old burner. In one doorway he paused. "I is the last favor I shall ask of you," he tremb lingly said, with solemn earnest ness gleaming in his eyes; "but will you kindly tell me whether I have operated on you before?" I assured him that he had. He bright ened instantly as he replied : "You have relieved my heart, sir. The thing has never yet failed, but I thought it had at last, in that case I should have been a ruined man." He respectfully bowed and vanished from the doorway. Hired Girls. Why the Bed Sea is Called Red. minute the lamp was a ruin. "It is a mercy of Providene'e, sir, that I have happened to call." "Stop!"l called. "Replace ev erything as it was instantly." "The number of cases of prema ture blindness," he calmly pro ceeded, "that 1 have had the grati fication of preventing, makes my labor a most pleasant one." Thinking he might be deaf, I bawled, "I don't want your burner; I won't have it. Take it off." For he was lightly twirling the new one in its place. "There, sir, you will feel thank ful to me as long as you live! The only thing that troubles me in the matter is I know I am ruining the spectacle-makers." "Do your hear?" I asked. "I shall not pay you for it." 1 Ie struck a very effective atti tude. "Payment! Of what conse quence is that? I could not remove that inestimable burner for any amount of money, when the altern ative is the ruin of your valuable eyesight. No, sir; your eyes are worth many valuable burners I make you a present of it willingly. I am a poor man, under heavy travelling expenses, and I have a family in want." He sighed. "But duty shall be done. The price is twenty cents. I know you will re gret this momentary harshness in trie long years to come, when you are enjoying the benefits of that burner. But that is not my affair. though I am sorry to think of it. improper interference of tho Federal Good morning, sir. LUt any time, !

Be good enough to drop a I line to their well known house at Hired girls as a class are not treat- etl as they should bt, and what is surprising to me is that here in the West, where every one labors more or less to make a living, a hired girl is so much looked down upon. She may be good, intelligent, and pretty, still her employment is con sidered degrading, anel she must choose her associates from among those employed in the same w4y. A few years ago there were plenty of nice young women who would, when not needed at home, work for others for waaes. It is not so now. There are" marry? hardworking peo ple, who are able to pay good wag es, who actually suffer for the want of a good faithful girl to assist in the kitchen ,r while the country is full of girls anxious to get schools to teach, and in our towns there are many palefaced young women try ing to make a living at sewing who would be much happier doing house work, and gladly make the ex change, if they could be respected as ladies. Who can wonder at the scarcity of, female help when the mere act of a. girl's going from home to do housework disgraces her? A farmer's son wa3 once intro duced to a girl at a small party. She was pretty and he treated her politely, supposing that she was visiting at the place where she was stopping ; but he afterwards learned she was "only their help." The next time he met her he did not see her. Now why is it that young men who hire out as farm hands are not willing to be classed with girls who do housework on the same farm? I once became acquainted with a young woman that was rais ed in town and married a farmer. Mrs. D. had a great many aristo cratic notions unbecoming a me chanic's daughter or a farmer's wife. She remarked- that country people were too indulgent to their hired help ; she meant to keep a girl so that she herself could go away whenever she pleased, and she also said that when she got a girl she should know her place. ButMrs. D. found this more easily said than done. During the spring she hired five or six different girls, and each one left her after a short trial. One attempted to sit down at the table with the family when they had company. Another went home on the Sabbath after the morning's work was done. Others had simi lar faults. Mrs. D. at last got a girl to stay the summer, which surprised the neighbors, for this same girl was a very independent person. The truth is, that Mrs. D., in trying to teach her hired girls their place, learned her own. Polly Ann Wint ers, in Western Jlural. New Orleans, July J, 187o. Note.

At the dinner of the Baptist Union, at Spurgeon's church, decanters- of wine and pitchers of ale were on the table, and all the brethren took freely. They seemed to think that while water was good to baptize in, it would not do as a sole beverage at a dinner of Baptist preachers." re"s to the goddess Show !

Your experience of visitors in an office, however, is not always of so light a character as this. In my younger days I had one of quite a different sort. It was jast the dusk of a gloomy winter's day. The inner door some how abruptly opened ; I thought it had been blown open by the wind. But in a moment 1 was undeceived. A ghastly-looking eldbrly man ap peared in the aperture. What I had thought was the noise of a gust of wind, was a heavy groan that had burst from his laboring bosom. It was repeated, as he stood there. "Don't disturb yourself, sir," he faltered. "There is a liberty, I know, but necessity has no choice. I have found this world too hard a place; I can bear it no longer. In a perfect stranger, such as I am, this may seem presumptuous: but every one has a privilege in his last j moments. I regret to eiisturo one who evidently has a feeling heart." He staggered a pace aside, laying hold of the mantelpiece to steady himself. "Fifty cents would have postponed it indefinitely, but I find that even so small a sum is hope less. I have ventured to come here, sir, to die" looking from one to another of two chairs to see which would best suit his p irpose. He selecttd the one to tin It'is true that nature, at, certain moments seems charged with a presentiment of one individual lot, must it not also be true that she seems unmindful, unconscious of another? Fiir there is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to des olation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different what wonder that nature's mood is often in hard contrast with the r great crises of our lives? We are children of a large family, and must learn, as such children tlo, not to j expect that our hearts will be made much of to be content witn nttie nurture and caressing, and help each otherthemore. George Eliot. The mother binds up as tenderly the little bruised finger of her child, as she would its broken arm. The father would no sooner deny the child its thrice tlaily meal, than he would deny it food if starving. So our Heavenly Father, who has made ample provision for the sorest neds, has not forgotten the smaller necessities. He has a balm for all little heart hungers; a staff for every hand. Lean on the staff every day; feed on the crumb every hour ; use the balm every minute. Congre-gationalist. The question that has puzzled scholars found a solution some time since in the observation of an American submarine diver. Smith's Bible Dictionary discusses learnedly the name of the Red Sea. The dic tionary surmises that the name was derived from the red western moun tains, red coral zoophytes, etc., and appears to give little weight to the real and natural reason which came under our American's notice. On one occasion the diver observed, while under sea, that the curious wavering shadows, which cross the lustrous golden floor like Frauen hofer's lines on the spectrum, began to change and lose themselves. A purple glory of intermingled colors darkened the violet curtains of the sea chambers, reddening all glints and tinges with an angry fire. . In stead of that lustrous, golden firma ment, the thallassphere darkenetl to crimson and opal. The walls grew purple, the floor as red as blood : the deep itself was purpled with t he vepous hue of deoxidized life-currents. The view on the surface was even more' magnificent. The sea at first assumed the light tawny or yellow ish red of sherry wine. .Anon this wine-color grew instinct with richer radiance; as far as eye could see, and flashing in the crystalline splen dor of the Arabian sun, was a glori ous sea of rose. The dusky red sandstone hills, with a border of white sand and green and flowered foliage, like an elaborately wrought cup of Bohemian glass enamelled with brilliant flowers, held .the sparkling liquid petals-of that rosy sea. The surface, on examination, proved to be covered with a thin brickdust layer of infusoria slightly Ringed- with orange. Placed in a white glass bottle this changed into a deep violet, but the wide surface of the external sea was of that mag nificent and brilliant rose-color. It was a new and pleasing example of the lustrous, every-varying beauty of the ocean world. It was caused j by diatomacea?, minute alga?, which ! under the microscope revealed deli cate threads gathered in tiny bun dles, and containing rings, like blood-disks, of that curious coloring matter in tiny tubes. This miracle of beauty is not without its analogies in other seas, u'he medusa? of the Arctic seas, an allied existence, people the ultra marine blue of the cold, pure sea, with the vivid patches of living green thirty miles in diameter. These minute organisms are doubly curious front their power of aston ishing production and the strange electric fire they display. . Minute as these microscopic creatures are, everylregetion and flash is the result of volition, and not a mere chemic or mechanic phosphorescence. The Photocaris light a flashing cirrus, on being irritated, in brilliant, kindlingsparks, increasingin inten sity until the whole organism is illuminated. The living fire wash es over its back, and pencils in greenish yellow light its microscop ic outline. Nor do these little creatures lack a beauty of their own. Their minute shields of pure trans lucent silex are elaborately wrought in microscopic symbols of mimic heraldry. They are the chivalry of the deep, the tiny krughts with lance and cuirass, and oval bossy shield carved in quaint conceits and ornamental fashion. Nor must we j despise them when we reflect upon their power of accretion. The Gal lionellte, invisible to the naked eye, can, of their heraldic shields and flinty armor, make two cubic feet of Bilin polishing slate in four days. By strairfing sea-water, a web of greenish cloth of gold, illuminated by the play of self-generated electric light, has been collected. Hum boldt and Ehrenberg speak of their voracity, their power of discharg ing electricity at will, and their sporting about, exhibiting an intel ligent enjoyment of the life God has given to them. Man and his works perish, but the monuments of the infusoria are the flinty ribs of the sea, the giant bones of huge contin ents, heaped into mountain ranges over which the granite and porphy ry have set their stony seal forever. Man thrives in his little zone ; the populous infusoria crowd every nook of earth from the remote poles to the burning equatorial belt. W. W. Harney, in LippincoWs Iara-zine.

A stage was erectenl in the open fields, with a tented frame over it, from which was suspended a slip of scarlet crape; one end of this she adjusted round her neck. She then embraced a little boy, probably a little brother, presented by a person standing by, and, having let fall u veil over her face, she mounted a chair and resolutely jumped offit, her little clasped hands saluting the assemblage as her fast-failing form twirled round with tho tightening corel." Christians, it is to be feared, too often unintentionally do great evil bv overlooking what may be con sidered by some the mere proprie ties of life. They are careful, per hans. in resoect to all the cardinal virtues, but the minor duties of the dav are almost wholly ne-glectcd, and ve-ry many of those things which in general society are of good report, such as becoming manners, tastes, general deportment, social observances, and the ordinary amenities of life,, are considered be neath their notice.- But tho truth is, this is one way in which our Christianity is to develop itself, and by which we may effectually approve ourselves before men. And unless we are essentially improved in our varied private and public re lations, in our disjiosition, in our conduct, in all our habits, we give but little evidence of the transform ing and elevating power of Chris tian piety. . The pat remark of a cultured old lady, whose thoughts we learned earlv to prize, we have often quoted, and now make bold to .print it: "If religion docs not make a gentleman of one, vhat is it good for?" Selected. It is a great thing to be assured that where religious convictions exist, and where men in a reason able way are led to control their ap petites, to live temperately, honest ly, and devoutly, tho whole life of the nation rises at once. It would be a curious matter to calculate the economical value of a movement, for example, like that of Method ism, in England and America to compute carefully the days and years of industrious work which it has saved from idleness anddrunk- pimess nnd the number f thrifty ------ - - - - farms and workshops, useful schools and happy homes, which it has secured to the nation.
