A DESPERATE CASE OF TETTER
and Barber's Itch, cured by the use of Lind
sey's Blood Searcher. l, the undersigned,
some time in last March, was severely afflicted
with what was pronounced by my physician
10 be a certain kind of letter and Barber's
Itch. My condition was one Of tho greatest
misery my face was almost constantly run
ming with the foul corruption that escaped
from the tubercles. by which it was almost
completely covered. After being under the
care Of my physician for near two months,
without the least benefit, j was induced to
make trial Of Lindsey's Blood scarcher, and
the result was that in using one bottle and
half found a perfect cure. / may also say
thatI eagerly tried whatever was reconimen-
dcd as cure. Such was my wretchedness
that even resorled to the dangerous expert
ment Of pouring pure Creosote on my face and
neck, but all to no purpose-the Blood Searcher
was the first and only thing that done me any
good. As blood purifier it is unequallcd ;
and have great reason to be grateful that / ev.
er made trial of its healing virtues, and
confidently recommend it to any who may suf-
fer from letter, or any other disease arising
from an impure state ofthe blood. r,7s.q

DIsrRlcr CoURr.-Our District Court
is still in session and will continue for
sometime to come. The docket, which
was enlarged by the failure of the last
June term, o%ccasioned by the high-water,
is being rapidly disposed of. We know
of no Judge better calculated than
Judge Ratlif, to handle a heavy docket,
for by the assistance of an entire farnil.
iarity with the civil practice, all ques.
tons arising for his decision are dispos.
ed Of with unusual promptness, which
combined with his assiduity to business
entitle him to the high reputation he en-.
joys as a Judge.
With such men in our ranks, the De-
mocracy Of this Judicial District will
have no difficulty in furnishing the Su-
preme Bench with an Associate Justice
who will honor the station.

On the 28th Of August last we mailed
to one of our subscribers his paper ad.
dressed to him at his Post Office in the
proper manner. By the return mail we
received the same paper marked on the
margin refused Upon inquiry we
found that the gentleman to whom the
paper was addressed had not only not
refused it, but had never received it.
This is not the first time that such a
thing has been done at our expense.
If any of our subscribers who may fail
to receive their papers will be good
enough to inform US, they may rest as
sured that WI will spare no pains in fer
retting out the cause.
The Democrat is duly mailed at the

us that it is not received at it's destina-

THIRD DISTRICT JUDICIAL ELECTION.

e. -Ef E- -
In April nextit will be the duty fthe
voters Of the Third Judicial District tc
elect an Associate Judge Of the Supreme
Court. The District is composed of the
following Parishes: St. Tanmany, Liv
|ingston, Washington, St. Helena, East
Feliciana, West Feliciana, Pointe Cou-
pee, Avoyells, Tcnsas, Concordia, Laf
ayette, Verlnillion, St. Nary st. Martin,
and St. Landry
1t is well known that the Democracy
have, up to this time, refrained from
making party nominations Of candi.
dates to fill, in our opinion, the most i'm.
portant Office for the welfare of the PEG.
pie.
Our oponents, the Know Nethings,
have thought proper to follow a very
different course, and by party nomina-
tons, succeeded in clecting all their
candidates. Now in making party nom
nations they have shown a better judg-
ment in the result than the Democracy.
The Democratic party, after a series
of defeats under the no party nomina-
ton system, have at last awoke, and
we see that the Democrats of the Fourth
Judicial District have held a Convention
and made a nomination-Hon. I. L.
Land, of. Shreveport. We are aware
that the loss to the Supreme Bench, OF
such men as Elgee, Lea, and others, was
brought about by Know Nothing nomi-
nations. @ -st
We believe it the imperious duty of
the Democracy of this District and also
every District in the State, to make
Democratic nominations for the Judge
ship, and it is only by this means that
we shall secure the election of our ablest
men. .' Es.s Ia
In order to make a judicious nomina-
ton, it behoves the party to canvass, at
an early day, the claims of the numer-
GUS legal gentleman in the District. Let
that be done in time and early nomina-
ton made, and all will go we'll. What
say our brethren of the Democratic
press throughout the District?

The ArcHAFALAYA SURVEY REPoRr.-
The Sugar Planter of the 25th ult., says
In reply to many who have questioned
us relative to the publication Of the re.
port of the surveyor of this route to the
A~tchafalaya, we have to say that it is
necessary to lay it before a meeting Of
Directors. before it will be made public.
The Board met on Crosse Tete to-day,
when the report will be read and we
will publish it in our next issue. A map
of the route prepared by the surveyor,
viii be exposed at the Post Office in
Baton Rouge, for inspection Of those in
terested.

THE PARISH JAIL.

In our last issue we published the re-
port of the Grand Jury, in which the
parish Jail was presented as a nuisance.
For several years past, we understand,
this same report has been a stereotyped
thing still the Police Jury, with
an obstinacy, not at all characteristic
Of that body, as a general thing, up to
this time have paid no attention to such
reports and nothing has been done to
better it's condition.
Not only persons accused of crimes
and offences against the laws are con-
fined therein, but it is. made also to
serve as a depot forrunaway slaves and
a place Of safe keeping for slaves seized
by the Sheriff, in obedience to order OF
the Court, To say nothing of the inhu-
manity of combining human beings in a
dungeon, who are accused Of no crime,
but confined to await the decree Of the
Court upon civil questions, thereby
exposing them to contract diseases
which may materially injure them in val
ue to their owners, it is IN evil too
glazing to be passed by unnoticed.
That the Jail is entirely too small and
badly constructed is evident to all who
may have had occasion to visit it,
There are but two rooms for prisoners,
and often white and black prisoners are
placed in the same cell. That such a
state of things exist is a disgrace to the
parish, but we have little hope Of a bet
ter state Of things until the parish has
had to pay heavy damages for the loss
of slaves by disease, caused by the
faulty construction of the prison.
Will not the Police Jury at its next
sitting give this matter serious consid-
Grafton?

ROLLING CoMMENcED.-On Thursday
morning last Madame Tenant, on False

Mississippi, raised steam and got under
way, in their sugar houses; the first of
the season in our Parish. We hear of
several who will commence operations
next week, and by the 18th all will be
in full blast. From the immense guam.
tity and good quality of the cane to be

est crop Of sugar and molases ever
made in this parish,

DUEL AT RICHMOND, VA.-About sun
rise, yesterday morning, says Richmond
South, of the 18th ult., a duel was fought
in a retired spot just beyond Fairfield
Race Course, between Mr.. 0. Jennings
Wise, one of the editors of the Rich
mond Enquirer, and the Hon. Sherrard
Clemens, Representative in Congress
from the Wheeling District in this State.
The weapons used were dueling pistols,
and the distance ten PAGES, or less than
thirty feet. Three shots were exchang-
ed without effect. At the fourth the
ball from Mr.. Wise's pistol struck Mr..
Clemens in the right thigh, a little below
the hip, and passing through, caused a
serious fracture of the bone. Mr.. Wise
was u~ninjured.

TIE LEvEG TAx-We hope . favor
able feeling is spreading throughout the
~alluvial portion ofsour State in reference
to this proposed tax. No reasonable
man would, in Jul opinion, object to be-
ing taxed to save his property from ruin
and common justice would dictate te
all honorable men that they should con,
tribute something to a general fund for
their welfare and not leave a few who
chance be riparian proprietors, to bear
oil the expense Of protecting at least
one-half Of the State from foundations.
We are inclined to the belief that when
this measure is brought before the Leg
i~slature at its next session, it will meet
with but slight opposition, from the fact
that it is a~ptinciple with Southerners to
receive nothing but what they are will
ing to pay for. To call a session Of the
Legislature at thepresent time, express
ly to take this matter into consideration
would be rather a difficult affair. There
is no money in the Treasury to pay the
expenses, and a quorum would be Diff
cult to obtain on account of the preva-
lence of the yellow fever in Baton
Rouge. Our feelings are with those
suggesting the call, as we feel confident
the Legislature would attend strictly to
the business calling it together, but
as there is no probability of it, our
friends must hide their time and use all
honorable means in their power to Sc
cure at the regular session in January,
that assistance which we conceive to
be just and reasonable.-Sugar Planter

PARISH ASSESSMENT.

We republish this week the assess.
raent Of 1858, and also that of 1851, by
which the reader will sec that the in.
creased value Of property in the parish
during the interval between the assess
ments, is over one million dollars.
These figures speak well for the ad-
vantagcs offered to capitalists and farm
ers to invest ia the laaas Of this parish
for the purpose Of making sugar and
cotton. Had we time, by reference to
the assessment Of former years, we
could show that within the last five
years property has increased nearly
double in value
A gentleman who FIVE years ago pur-
chased a plantation on the Chanal OF
False River, containing about 1000 acres
and some 200 slaves for the sum of
SITS, 600, we learn has lately sold the
same for the sum Of 1926, 900, showing
