grand oonspiraoy^jth? / darkest and
dreadfulest of sU-WrJr tfai ivM of Lob,
iaianaand other Gulf States, has been
discovered. The detective patriot who
announces the discovery proposes no
measures for frustrating the hellish
scheme of the conspirators. In fact, he
tacitly assumes that there is no help for
it. Thus the thing becomes a rioh and
rare sensation for the unique school of
modern epicureans which, for lack of.
more vigorous and wholesome mental
vegetation, baa grown up with alarming
luxuriance in this part of tbe country.
The adherents of this school, be it
known, reverse the whole order, com?
monly accepted heretofore by rational
beings, of defining and estimating good
and evil. The indulgence of a rational
hope regarding the eventualities of the
future is to them abominable. The ra?
tional pursuit of happiness they remit to
abject and groveling natures that are
beyond the redeeming reach of a sub?
lime epicurean propaganda. The very
idea of making the most of existing cir?
cumstances, with a view to the highest
, attainable good by practicable expedi
entfl, they hold in infinite abhorrence
and loathing. Iu short, the future ia
oheerlesB to them unleaa it is palled in I
j the blaokest despair, and the present la
never to their satisfaction exoept when I
they oan turn its oiroumatanoes to the
cultivation of a systematic and exquisite
misery. Hence the delight with which
they will gloat over the details of this
last oonspirooy for the desolation , of
I Louisiana and other Quit States. Those
details have, besides, an intrinsic irra?
tionality in happy accord with their me
I thods of mental speculation.
A ring of Northern money oligarchs,
I we are told, have arranged to merge San
Domiugo, Cuba and the rest of the West
Indies, with Louisiana and other Gull
States, in a oomm?n vortex of barbarism
and impoverishment, for the immediate
purpose of taming tho trade of the
West and the Sooth Eastward through
the Northern and Middle States.
Having aooomplished this fiendish
work, at the expense of $30,000,000, the
nltimate object will then be developed.
By expending another 930,000,000, the
ring will buy up every important locali?
ty, as a centre of trade or industry, in
the South. They will secure the unli?
mited aid of the National Government.
Foreign immigration will oome in by
millions to supplant the before domi?
nant negro; and through au instantane?
ous revival of trade, industry and every
form of material oariohment and pros?
perity, in this part of the world, they
will make a olear profit of $500,000,000.
Bat here is something too wonderful for
an uninspired intellect to comprehend.
It will take at least the period of one
generation to get through with tbe first
stage of the programme. In the course
of nature, the ring will all be dead be
foro the moment for makiug the pro?
posed investment in a parcel of bankrupt
States and desolated oitieB and districts
will arrive. What personal interest,
tbeu, oan the Northern money oligarchs
referred to have iu tho exeoution of the
oonspirooy? Not only this, but North?
ern as well as European capitalists have
splendid opportunities at this time for
speculation, by buying np Southern pro?
perties, promoting immigration into the
Gulf States, and profiting by the mate?
rial prosperity resulting from inoreased
productiveness and expanding trade in
the South-weBt and in the West Indies.
Why should they wait uutil all the ele?
ments of production and trado were an?
nihilated, before turning their capital
and enterprise this way? Capitalists
who have not lost their reason ure not
given to throwing away their money by
first investing in a work of devastation,
and then in the deserts whioh are mado.
[New Orleans Times.
Gkneral Grant's Duty.?Gen. Grant
has just taken a fresh oath as President
of the United States, and that includes
the function of Commander-in-Chief of
the army. I
Iu hia second inaugural address ho de?
scants at length, and with such force and
emphasis as he ia capable of, on the ad?
vantages of railroads and the utilization
of steam. Now we have a railroad direot
from Washington to New Orleaus. There
is great trouble iu New Orleans, and a
fair chsuce for hard fighting. Grant, as
we have saKI, is Gommander-in-Ohief of
the army. He ought to be at the seat of
war. Let him avail himself of the rail?
roads and the utilized steam, and take
the first train to-morrow morning for
Louisiana. It would do well enough for
him to stay at home when he had only
twenty-five thousand dollars a year.
Now he gets fifty thonsand, and onght to
be on the spot where ho is most needed.
Certainly he doesn't soem to be of much
account at Washington?unless ho should
take it into his head to attend an even?
ing grammar nnhool?but who knows
that he might not render himself useful
iu Now Orleans?
By the way, speaking of Now Orleans,
it was there that Gen. Grant received
his first and most powerful impressions
in regard to steam; aud it is evident,
from his late inaugural, that he imagines
it was invented about that time. Hav?
ing considerable steam on himself, he
rau his horeo at a 2:17>? gait plump into
a fired-up locomotive, and broke three of
his ribs. Perhaps he thinks this was
enough of war in New Orleans.

And bow he and hie people would like to

[Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.
Tub Threatened Stbike?The New
York Journal of Commerce notes the
threatened strike of some of the trades
onions in that oity, particularly the
carpenters and the "allied societies."
The editor reminds them of the failure
of the strike last year on tho eight-hour
issue, adding: "The present wages on
the eight-hour scale are 83.50 a day.
Tho 'bosses' propose to give forty oents
an hour for ten hours' work, and the
same rate for. additional hours. Men
who are willing to labor twelve hours?
and there are not a few thus ambitious?
would make nearly five dollars a day for
ordinary houae-oarpenter work." The
workmen who are thus ambitious are
wise, as it is the sure means by whioh
men who labor for a living may lay by
something for a rainy day, and, in time,
perhaps, eeafe delving, and take the rest
or ease which advanced life calls for.
Men have the right, however, to work
only eight hours if they so agree, or
even less, the matter of wages eventu?
ally regulating itself by circumstances;
bnt the more leisure a man takes in his
youth, the less he is likely to have in
store for old nge, when he needs it the
more. Thogruater amount oi time ho iB
regular employed in making money, the
lees time will he have to devoto to the
useless or extravagant spending of it.
M?rder.?James M. Hale, living in
tho upper part of Gordon County, Ga.,
was murdered last Saturday night, in his
own house, after the family had retired,
by two desperadoes, named Zaoh. Taylor
and Jim Tucker. Theso men broke into
the bouse, after buiug refused admission,
at an unreasonable hoar, and after sit?
ting by tho fire, they proceeded to strip
the bedding from the children and the
oldest daughter, when Mr. Hale arose,
and commanded them to leave, where?
upon he was shot by Taylor. The old
man, though badly wonnded in the
breast, oommonoed a bold defenoe, but
was. again shot to tbe heart by Taylor,
and immediately expired. The despera?
does then left.
The reoords of the Polynesian slave
trade show that it is little, if any, less
atrocious than the trafllo with Africa in
its palmiest days. Queensland, the most
tropical of the British oolonies in Aus?
tralia, needs labor, and has been import?
ing colonists from the various South Pa?
cific- islands for some years past. Legiti?
mate moans have failed to bring tho re?
quisite supply. Henoo hundreds of poor
wretches have been kidnapped and nom?
inally hired out, but really sold to the
planters. So far have the unprincipled
traders gone, as to rig up one of their
vessels to simulato a missionary craft.
One of the results of this deception is
the murder of Bishop Patterson by the
natives of an island which he visited.
His Counterfeit had preoedod him, and
the people were naturally iucensed at
the outrages which they suffered. The
