OPELOUSAB:

SATURDAY, : : : : : : MAY ht, 189.

1I7 The new Town Council seems disposed t,adopt a very different course from that pursuedby its predecessor in the adminstration of ounmunicipal affairs. At the second meeting, itsmembers, prompted by verycomm4hbdbie inten-tions, began the work of reform by reducing thesalaries of all the municipal oficers, except theConstable, who is now invested with the ofliceof Assessor and Collector. The Mayor will nowno longer receive the three hundred dollarswhich had been allowed him by the last Boardthe salaries of the Treasurer, the" Clerk, &c.,have been greatly reduced, and, though last notleast, the memlcrs themselves have generouslyrelinquished the pay of two dollars and fiftycents for each meecting, which their predecessorsreceived. The Constable is the only officer ben-elithd by the change, as his salary has been in-creased to $1000, which is $)00 more than therest of the officers combined.

Hlowever, these first steps will economizethr:ee or four hundred dollars for the town, andmay lead to greater retrenchment.

SoDA WATtn.-The ladies will no doubt begratified to learn that a Soda Water Saloon andConfectionery will soon be opened in our town,where a cool and refreshing drink of soda water,lemonade, &c., with excellent cakes, may behad at any moment. This new enterprise willundoubtdly be liberally encouraged, and as toMr. Munseshelmer, who has bravely undertakenit, he will surely do all which may be reasonablyexpected of him to make it a success.

1' We read in the New Orleans Times ofthe 25th ult.:

"Comppny H, 25th United States Infantry.'with thenecessary camping oquipage and thirtydays' subsistence, has been ordertd to Opelou-saa. For what purposet A campaign againstpeaceful Opelousas a

This reminds us of a conversation which tookplace recently in New Orleans between a citizenof our Parish and an ex-citizen of ur town :

"Well I What news from St. Landry r"Fine weather, promising crops, everybody at

work, and everything quiet.""Well! That tranquillity will not last long!"Did the ex-eitisen not allude to this thirty

days' eampaignt

[- We see in the New Orleans Republicanof the 2th ulnit., a statement to the effect thatMr. F. Perrodin has boon appointed by Gov.Warmoti :Notary Public for the Parish of St.Landry.

Mr. .ohai M. Milsted has been appointed Coro-nor for thp same Pariah.

Cr.A t oloi PProPRrr.-Mr. fHaae, of BayouChicot, writes to one of his friends here that afreedman named Breoks has in his possession,near Chentyville1 some fifteen or twenty workmules and ;-hmrse whihe are supposed to havebeen stolen from the plantirs of our neigjlor-hood.

We last week mentioned the dfsiaspearance offour thieves with some thirty stolen fuoenthe inhabitants of the Western lortlon of ourParish. Some of these horses are probablyamong those near Cheneyille. Taeewho havelost horses or mules ahould then Vsit Chenoy-ville without delay and see Brook who, it is be-lieved, is ready to deltter them to eir owners.

On motioc, the meeting then adjourned tomeet again at the same place on Monday, the21th day of May, 1869.

1. 'R. ROGERS, President.JoEL II. SAXDOZ, Secretary.

A Calumny.-In the N. O. Bee ofthe 25th, we find the following, whichsufficiently explains itself:

A CARD.It having come to my knowledge that

in the great contest for the removal ofCapt. J. G. Hayes, Sheriff of St. Landry,my name among the first was on the listas an applicant for the office of Sheriff.I have this day called at Governor War-moth's office to know the individualwho,: without authority, made use ofmy name, and the answer was: "Yourname was not brought up." There is alie samewhere, an infamous intrigue. Iknow not who is the villian who thusbrought up my name as solicitor for anoflice I aspire only to that office towhich the good people of my parish mayelect me, and to none other. I thereforethrow the lie in the face of the one whoreported that I applied either directlyor indirectly to Governor Warmoth foran office.

F. PERRODIN.

London, April 22,-The following arecomments of the city journals on the Cu-ban question :

The Telegrlaph says England is unbi-assed, but English interest will be bestserved by Spain retaining authority overCnba.

It would not be England's business tointerfere against Cuban independence.but her good offices might be useful inaverting a quarrel between the UnitedStates and Spain.

The seizute of the Mary Lowell is des-ignated as a mad act, implicating Eng-land, Spain's best friend, in a quarrelwith the United States.

The T'elegraph argues that Cubans cannever willingly attach themselves toAmerican rules. I

The O(hceavs Grant has run mad onCuba, and thinks that England andFrance will Ight if the UnitediJ ttates at-tempt tb wrest Qoba from Spain.

The Owl adds, that Grant longs for afor ware that the prevailing feelinga Americe~ ls i one of ha-"tre-••Aaudin a less de-

greei s hata yacht leaves in aday or t*ao g Cubs, to seertain te ex-act positio bof tairs, and' declares itsbelief that a heavy ustem it brewing.

The Threats Against ngbland inthe VIated States reate.

Beyond doubt the Senate placeditaelf in a very awkward dilem a by re-

Jecting the Stanley.Johnson traty forthe ettslement ot tlhe Alaba. elaims.Thelembarrassment does not reult fromthe simple faet of the rejection. Hadthe Senate refused to ratify the treaty.without assigning specific reas for sodoing, the effectlwould have beau to re-.leg thepoints raised in the discussionof 'th.Alabama, claims to the startingpoint of negotiation. It would have lefta • • ream;. Either power coild havetaken the initiative with noPbinding linesto govern itU-overtures or its conces-siom. But the actpal case is quite dif.

The grounds on which the roeatyI are uch as to commit the

tea l et of the United Stares to aSvpelvty, to a peremptory de-

to a ggresuive tlude, to con-t war.

of it would be tremendous. It is proba-ble that its operations would be confin-ed almost wholly to the sea. The Gov-ernment of the United States is not pre-pared for a contest in that field with thefirst maritime power in the world. Itsactual revenue, its possibilities of fur-ther taxation, its resources of credit areinadequate to the task, to say nothing ofits naval inferiority to begin with.American maritime commerce would beswept from the sea; American cottonproduction would languish for want of amarket, and British Indian cotton pro-duction would make still more vigorousstrides towards monopolizing the supplyof European manufactures than it madeduring the four years blockade of theSouthern ports by the Federal navy.

To go to war with England, therefore,without reasonable grounds, without in-deed an imperious necessity, would beabout the most downright fatuity everexhibited outside of a madhouse. Wethink it safe, for the present at least, toassume that the inordinate demand ad-vanced by Sumner and implied in the re-.jection of the Alabama treaty will notseriously disturb the peace between thetwo countries, and that the stridentnotes of the bellicose Michigander willturn out at last to be only the inconse-quential cackle of a senatorial goose.

N. 0. Gommercial Bulletin.

SThe coming Revolution in the U.-States.

We copy as follows from the NewYork Herald of the 17th:

"All the signs of the tinics indicatethat a sweeping revolution must come atno distant day in this country. Not ar revolution of the barricades or at the

point of tle bayonet, for that is unne-cessary here, where the people have thepower to accomplish it through theirvotes, but a revolution nevertheless, asthorough and complete, through the bal-lot-box. Hope deferred makes the heartsick, and the American people have beent vainly hoping for a change in the ad-r ministration of the Government, which

has become in every department themoat corrupt and extravagant one onthe face of the earth. They were patientduring the war. though it was well1 known the corrupt rings and shoddycontractors were then robbing the Gov-ernment of hundreds of millions a year,because the greater question of puttingdown the rebellion and preserving theUnion at any cost overwhelmed all oth-er questions. Then', again, during Mr.Johnson's administration they still borepatiently the frightful extravagance, cor-ruption and misnanagement in the Gov-erument, for they said that was the re-sult of the conflict between the Execu-tive and Congress, and that with a newPresident fresh from and elected direct-ly by the people all would be changedand the Government reformed. Besides,it was said a little time was needed tocure the evils resulting from the war.Such were the arguments, the hopes andthe patience of the people, and they boretheir burdens accordingly.

The 4th of March, 1i69, was to be thenew era of reform, retrenchment. econo-moy and the restoration of the Govern-ment to something like its original func-tions and practice, The new Presidenthad uttered words t6 that effect. Thepopular hero whoi by his military ge-nius, had conquered the rebellion andclosed up the war; was looked to withhope to bring about the much neededchange. But he has been subjugated and ,brought under the power of the old cor-rupt rings which control the whole ma-chinery of the Government. A few weeksafter his inauguration he has succumbedto the Senate iug of corrupt politieias,around which all the other corrupt ringsin and out of Congress-the whisky ring,the Pacific Railro.a ring, the. NationalBank ring, the Treasury ring, and' allother corrupt rings-revolve. This isthe centre and power of them all. Therenever can be anv reform in the govern-ment and country'until the power of thatirresponsible and unscrupulous oligarchy,be broken.up. With the surrender ofGen. Grant little hope remains that thiscan be accomplislhed during hisadminis-tration, unless, indeed, the people be-come within that time so impatient andlisgusted as to turn out the present

members of Congress and 6best betterones. Gen. Grant paeans right and shoulda body of hotnet od' able imen be set toCongress he work with them; buthaing ucuh to the eistiug Con-gresionat rin whieh ens-Maas all . it tader.wbioa rin

[7 General Grant is credited with thefollowing remarks upod the threatenedIndian war in Alaska:

I've been thinking about that countrya goodideal. The newspapers say we arein danger of an Indian war up there. Ithink I've settled on a plan for stoppingthat. If one breaks out, I believe I willwithdraw all the troops, and then therewon't be anything there for the Indiansto fight.

And Radical papers copy this as anevidence of wonderful sagacity-neverstopping to think that the same principleis quite applicable to the South, and thatif the South is "disturbed," and if Ku-Klux Klans are rampant, things in thatsection would be far more quite if thetroops were withdrawn, and especiallyif such troops as Brownlow's militia inTennessee and Clpyton's militia in Ar-kansas were disbanded.-N. Y. World.

' The Boston 2'ranecript says: "Ofall independent men in the world, hewho has served his time at and knowsthe secrets.of a trade is the most self-reliant."
