to the mainland, the trees which grow along their banks, so as to impede their navigation, except such as you may require for use yourself. Fishermen and oystermen should then be prohibited from going beyond half a mile of the shores, for fear of their being captured and made to act as pilots, which was the case when the British attacked New Orleans in 1814-15. With regard to the persons who may be of use to you, I will suggest the following names: 1. Messrs. I. Freret, Philip Guesnon, Norton, McClusky; Coms. Fellows, Thomas B. Lee, W. C. C. Claiborne, Charles Denegre, and I. A. Deblanc, who are merchants of high positions and means, and know all about the environs and resources of New Orleans. 2. Messrs. S. R. Proctor (my brother-in-law), parish of St. Bernard, Dr. J. B. Wilkinson, and Charles J. Villere (another brother-in-law), parish of Plaquemines, ditto for their parishes. 3. Mr. S. K.

To fasten the bottom in its place, and prevent the mercury from finding its way under it, strips of cloth, about two inches in width, are lapped around the edge of the false bottom, as well as applied against the sides of the pan. Norton's amalgamator. A little iron cement is then poured in, and the bottom secured in its place by means of well-dried wooden wedges tightly driven between the two layers of cloth. These wedges, which are driven quite close to each other, must beently covered with a paste of iron cement, that is allowed to set before using the apparatus. About onehorse power is required to work this pan, which will amalgamate from one and a half to two tons of ore in the course of twenty-four hours. Norton, September 18, 1860.

ton and Hall of North Yarmouth, Mass., May 21, 1811. Between that time and 1839 more than 10,000 of these arms were made and were issued to the troops in garrison and on the frontier. This gun is represented at N, Plate 16, and had a breech-block, which was hinged on an axial pin at the rear, and tipped upwardly at front to expose the front end of the charge-chamber. The flint-lock and powder-pan were attached to the vibrating breech-block. The arm is shown and described in detail in General Norton's American breech-loading small-arms, New York, 1872. Before the war of 1861-65, the principal breechloading small-arms were Sharps's, Burnside's, Maynard's, Merrill's, and Spencer's. Sharps's rifle (O, Plate 16) has the barrel rigidly attached to the stock, the rear being opened or closed by a vertically sliding breech-block, which slides up and down in a mortise operated by the trigger-guard, which is pivoted at the front end, or by a lever. The primer consists of small pellet

term as President; second to procure the State senatorship for his brother-in-law, James B. Casey. For either of these purposes Federal troops might be employed by an unscrupulous President; but Judge Durell was trying to get the Senatorship for Norton, and therefore unlikely to assist in bringing Casey to the front. Neither Governor Warmoth nor General McEnery could make it out. Against whom was Packard to march the Federal troops? Time solved the mystery. Stephen B. Packard got his teleg President Grant, pretends to think that order of Durell lawful, or those proceedings of Packard just. Durell had his reward. Casey withdrew from the contest for Senator, taking the snug and lucrative berth of Collector, while Durell's friend Norton was adopted by a scalawag county as their party candidate. General Warmoth, Governor of the State, was a Fusionist: the Fusionists being a party of timid people, led by Senator Jewell, who wished for nothing so much as peace, and sank all poin

office, Pinch had still a handle to his name. This man seemed worth his salt, and Kellogg came to terms with him. Pinch was to upset Warmoth. If he succeeded, he was to be Acting Governor for a few days, to have a large sum of money, and, if Norton could be set aside, to go as senator to Washington. These terms being settled, Billings led Pinch into the Senate Chamber, and, by help of Caesar C. Antoine, seated him as Lieutenant-governor in the chair of state. In ten minutes Pinch organielsewhere in protest, and appealed to Warmoth, as the lawful Governor, for support against a man who had no pretension to the rank and office he assumed. Kellogg contrived that Pinch should be proposed as the republican candidate for Senator. Norton gave way for him; and it was hoped that his election to the Senate might help to cover his illegal acts. Yet Warmoth stood unmoved. Pinch ran to Packard for advice, but Packard was afraid to speak. Every lawyer in New Orleans told him the warr

iberty has been enunciated, from the year 1688 until now, that does not cover the claim of woman. The State has never laid the basis of right upon the distinction of sex; and no reason has ever been given, except a religious one,--that there are in the records of our religion commands obliging us to make woman an exception to our civil theories, and deprive her of that which those theories give her. Suppose that woman is essentially inferior to man,--she still has rights. Grant that Mrs. Norton never could be Byron; that Elizabeth Barrett never could have written Paradise Lost; that Mrs. Somerville never could be La Place, nor Sirani have painted the Transfiguration. What then? Does that prove they should be deprived of all civil rights? John Smith never will be, never can be, Daniel Webster. Shall he, therefore, be put under guardianship, and forbidden to vote? Suppose woman, though equal, to differ essentially in her intellect from man,--is that any ground for disfranch

all be so. Let me, in closing, show you by one single anecdote, how mean a thing a man can be. You have heard of Mrs. Norton, the woman Byron, as critics call her, the grand-daughter of Sheridan, and the one on whose shoulders his mantle has rel has since admitted in writing, under his own signature, that during the time he prosecuted that trial, the Honorable Mr. Norton (for so he is in the Herald's Book), confessed all the time that he did not believe a word against his wife, and knew st says, If you change it, it will be the pulling down of the stars and Saint Paul. I do not believe that the Honorable Mr. Norton is half as near to the mind of Saint Paul as the Honorable Mrs; Norton. I believe, therefore, in woman having the righNorton. I believe, therefore, in woman having the right to her brain, to her hands, to her toil, to her ballot. The tools to him that can use them-- and let God settle the rest.
