The Louisiana coniproml.se has not lasted long. The democratic majori* (:f}y iu the house has violated tlio letter and spirit of the Wheeler compact by os pel ling four republicans and seating fpur democrats, thus securing a ma jority on ' joint ballot. Tho senate, wl\ich I.ias.a republican majority, wt.l ' probably go to expelling democrats, or tho republicans will leave it with out a quorum. The bouse also adop tod resolutions to impeach the state auditor. It would appear, that all "?'hepVfor peace and quiet in Louisiana must bo abandoned.' ' . , ; t ?io !?'. : ? . Parker'in Jail. ;i < . ; This t^gpntleman was, arreslcdj m Coiurabia on 'dir? 2lst. inst,' upon . the .affidavits of Gov. Chamberlain, T. C. . ijuun, S. W; Melton, W. Bluish and Paris Simians, as commissioners of tho Sinking fund, for embezzling money of that fund whilo State Troa3urer to 'the amount of $28,100. Tho counsel for Porker, Messrs. Mel toil & Clark' and Bachman & Youmans, moved be fore tho clerk of the Court that tha order of arrest bo rccinded, b'.'t the clerk declined to interfere. They next made and argued the same mo . -, tion before Judge Coo! o who edecided that tho petition to * acato the order bo dismissed, and tho order of the elcrk'of the Court be executed. The bail was fixed at $50,000, which tho ex-Treasurer failed to give and went to jail. His fancy teams, and gold moun ted harness have brought him to grief. When will ho build another hall, or as McCaw used to call his block?Par ker's haul? Tho Tax Bill, Tho Columbia Pliceiifx, in an edito rial upon the Supply bill quotes from our articlo of last week, and endorses mir suggest ion that in the event of the' Governor's voto of said "bill, that . mcetiiigsdjpjicjd^and n tlianlflp bo forwa&led to Chamberlain from every couuty in the State. The PhcSntx speaks as fol lows : Tho great duly of our people is to como up to tho aid of the Governor in demanding that only a reasonable and just tax shall bo imposed upon them. They should strengthen his ? hands and the bnnds of all in his par ty who in tho party, are making a stand against heavy taxation, legisla tive frauds and convenient, processes by which their money is taken so un sparingly out of their pockiti. You see here the tho Republicans are di vided as they have never bceu before since they assumed tho reins of con trol over South Carolina. This will be the opportunity of the people. Thvy must take advantage of it and speak out with the authority which rightful ly belongs to them." Let them de mand that only a proper and necccs aary tax shall be levied, and that it shall be applied tD only proper and necessary objects. The Orangeburg Nkws, also a Republican journal says that if the Governor should "put a qliictus upon this last swindle of tho Legislature, by vcotoing it," it shall move that "meetings be held at tho Court Houses, on some sale-day, in every County iu tho Mate, and resolu tions of thanks bo passed and forwar ded to him." The idea is not a bad #no. We would suggest, that to the resolutions be nddedorio or two that the tax shu'l uot be moro than eight p.rten miRs, at theoutaide, that claims ' must have a harder road to travel, and be undoubtedly authentic and valid, before paid at all,' that several of the leeches now sucking tho blood orthe Stnto be summarily cut oft', that both salaries aud offices be reduced, that appropriations for sham educa tion shall bo kicked out of tho way, and; in general/that the Government shall more closely approximate econo r my? decency, honesty and justice" Ai.i* Dofi.?Noticing a local on dogs' in the Hkkai.D last week, the Urcenvilje IVcics myn that all the dogs that havo emigrated from that town lately have been "stuffed." Now this M too bad. If the sausage shipped from Greenville are made of this ma terial the AVus editor should not par ade the fact, for we would rather not know it. In your next issno, Mr. A*cw> please contradict the assertion, or at leBot conic down a peg by saying that the sausage is not all dog. Every body hero likes Bologna, and they would rather have the ingredients a little mixed, say for instance cat, mule or horso flesh, but not all dog.?Aan Itcrrj/ Herald.

'?\ ? ???? ; the Lexington Centennial. ?~~* Tho celebration on Monday of tho hundredth anniversary of tho battles of Concord and Lerington ? wps'.n fitting introduction to the centennial of independence, which is still one year distant. The patriotism of Now England was never more deeply stir red by any local event, nnd two well equipped j ail roads hading from Bos tou to Concord, only twenty miles dis tant, could not transport tho immense crowds of enthusiastic citizens desiring to participate in the ccuemonics. The day was cold and bleak, and not at all favorable to out-dpor oratory. Tho speakers were umotig tho mast ac complished and eloquent in the land, but tho chilly air spoiled tho'effect of their splendid orations. Gcorgo Wm. Curtis made the principal address at C?hcord, and Richard H.' Dana per formed the ea'mo duty nit Lexington. President Grant was iu the procession at Concord in the mofiiihg, and then was taken in a enrriago to Lexington (eight miles distant), where ho* re viewed ti?o military part of the pro cession. There was after-dinner speak ing at both places by distinguished men. At Lexington, after the orations, dinner was served in an immense tent to a largo lumber of distinguished I guests. Mr. Stetson, president of ?he occasion, occupied a seat in the centre. The toasts, as given, Mere : "Tho President of tho United States.'' Responded to iu the usual manner hy his excellency. "The1 dead of Lexington." Re sponded to by Gen. Banks. The orator of the day, Mr. Richard H. Dana, jr., replied in a witty and hap py speech. "The State of South Carolina. Never will "Massachusetts forget the proud response of South Carolina the very night she heard the war note from Lexington. Gov. Chamberlain may veto everything he wishes, but he mus". not veto our earnest rcipcct for a voice from the Palmetto State to the pine." Gov. Chamberlain, who re sponded, was received with much ap plause, as were also his sentiments of enrnest desire for tho complete and early restoration of^rue fraternal^fcel ftngs BctTvceUr^iic two great common wealths. "Tho Commonwealth of Massachu setts." Gov. Gastou believed that on the 19th of April, and on the historic grounds of Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts needed none to speak for her. "England and the United States." No regular response was given to this toast, hut in lieu of it a letter was read from Mr. Gladstone, ex-premier of England. "The Bench and Bar" was respond ed to by Chief Justice Gray, of Massachusetts. "Tin Colleges and Universities," to which General Joshua L. Chamber lain responded. "Tho Commerce of tho United States." Responded to by Elliott C. Cowdcr, of New York. : "Tho North and South." In ro sponsc to a complimentary call of the President, Gen. Win. F.'Bartlett, of Massachusetts, made a remarkable and beautiful speech. Referring to southern soldiers, he said : In conclusion, "juan American, 1 am as proud of the men who charged so bravely with Pickett's division on our linos at Gettysburg as I am of the men who bravely mat nnd repulsed them there. Men cannot always choose the right cause, but when, hav ing chooscn that which their co? sciencs dictated, they are ready to die for it, if thoy justify not their cause, thoy at least ounoblo themselves, and the men who for conscience sako fought their government at Gettysburg ought easily to bo forgiven by the sons of men who 'for conscience snke fought against their government at Loxington and Bunker Hill. Ob, sir, ns Massachusetts was first in war, so let her bo first iu peace, and she shall forever be first in tho hearts of her countrymen, In his testimony, on tho Oth, inst., Mr. Bccchcr related this affecting scene, illustrating clerical lifo in Brooklyn: "I turned a little toward her and said : 'Emma Mouilon, I am a good man; you may be sure of that; I urn a good man!' And with thai she put her hand nronnd my neck gcntlj*, so us to bring my head up a little, and kissed me on my forehead; and it was certainly a kiss of inspiration; still J thought %l prudent not to return it. In a littlo while Mr. Monlton came in.'r We think It. W. B. was wrong in this matter. By his own statement, Frank did not eomo in until "after a little while," and thoro was plenty of time for Emma to be well kissed. Wo don't liko prndenco in such matters. With that "kiss of inspiration" danc ing through his veins, Henry should not have disappointed Emma? lips apt and time agreeing Emma ought to have ha<) that kiss returned. What luck the preachers have ! If Joan of Arc or any otbcr woman wished to soften eoino of tho asperities of South Carolina journalism by giving US a "kiss of inspiration," wo should return it instantly, and defer the question of j prudencq until a more convenient season.
