PLAeUEMINEs.-Th Empire Parish of the 10Th
says:
Since our last we have been visited by more |
rain The crops continue to prosper, as far as we
know. From present prospects the orange crop
will turn out well. Both planters and farmers
seem to look to a good harvest and fat time next
fall.
SOMETHING WRONG IN TIoERyILLE.-SeYeral at
tempts have been made, lately, in Tigerville, to
burn houses, but the fires were fortunately dis
covered in time to save the property.
TEnREBoNxn.- new propeller Robert Rufhn
was launched from the Houma ship yard on last
saturday, in presence of large conc0urse of cit

Ru1in was subsequently drank in divers liquors,

most of the labor on this bayou il done by the

labor is performed by negroes. We saw no ne
groes on any other plantation. We had thC
pleasure of enjoying the hospitality of our OLE
friend the Hon. Francois TheriOt for one night
who informed us that he had entirely dispensed
with negro labor that he had not one lsit, mo-
even house servant, and that his neighhOrs were
doing the same. We visited nearly every piantei

extreme ength of $50 feet and width of 80. IIx-
ueme height of roof rs feet; height Of ceiling, 6S
feet. The immense roof frame rests upon 42 cut
stone piers, about IL feet apart and 20 feet in
height which gives 49 feet of spring to the arch

arch of the two outside parallel bents.
| The island will be Ia the west end-the floor be
level for distance of so or 70 feet in front Of the

as submerged, and many places on the 0uachita
are also under water. Nearly the whole of the
Red River lands aie oVerfswed, and agricultural
operations are, of Course, entirely suspended. In

have seriously injured the chances for a crop

frightened up in view of few days vigorous work
but on Tuesday evening another storm swept over
us, and floods of rain again descended upon the al

attained luxuyiant growth. and the crops, what

PROJECT FOR PRESBYTERIAN REUNION
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1866-09-06

On Monday evening last, Colonel Mar
tin, of indianapolis, established post" of
this organization in this place, and altho'
but two or three hours previous notice
had been given, over sixty old soldiers
who had served in the Union army were
admitted.
4 full and complete organization was
made, officers elected, and the whole thing
placed i'm such shape as will be product
i've of much good TO the returned soldiers
ofthe Union army. There will be a meet
ing on Friday evening next, at Empire Hall
and all who wish to join the organization
will be admitted only with the condition
that they have served in the Union army
during the late war and have an honorable
discharge.
The objects ofthe Grand Army of the
Republic are briefly stated as follows:
''To aid with its charity the MANNED and
helpless soldier and the dependent familie:
of the fallen; to secure employment fol
those returned soldiers who have vainly
sought it for themselves, and whose very
tattered uniforms seem an evidence OF
demerit i'm the eyes of many who never
dared TO clothc themselves with its danger
Gus responsibilities"
1t is hoped that every returned soldier il

ent. become attached TO this order.-War

sEigh Taxes, Fees and Sal:l-
rieS.

The editors of the Democrat seem TO be
greatly exercised about the taxes imposed
by the United States, to pay the expenses
incurred in suppresSing the recent Demo
cratic rebellion. One would suppose to
hear them talk that they are SO regardful of
the interests of poor taX-ridden people
that they would not at least take more out
of the public treasury under any circum-
stances than legally belonged TO them, but,
alas, The records of the Auditors office tell
different story. Suppose every man in
the community were to get so out Of the
county treasury for which he had rendered
no service and to which he had no legal
right, what would be the rate of taxation
in the county? Are they not very proper
persons to talk about high taxes: If they
are really opposed to grinding the tax pay
ers to death why do they not disgOrge what
they had no right to in Tie first place:
They also have considerable to say about
Congressman increasing their salaries, but
they did not object at all when the legis-
lature last winter increased the price of
publishing the Delinquent List from soc to
GOO per tabular description, which is taxed
against the poor delinquent, nor have We
heard the faintest murmur from that quar-
ter about the increase, at the same session.

How the Money Of the state
was Used I'm Purchasing
Arms for tire Sons of liberty.

John G. Walker, while agent of State,
was furnished by Treasurer Brett with
$50, 900 from the State debt sinking fund,
with which to redeem so much of our
State stocks. In addition TO this he receiv-
ed from Colonel II. n. Hudson, his prede-
cessOr in Office, over S20,000. He refused
to use what money he had in paying inter
est on the State debt, and was greatly ex-
asperated by the success of Governor Nor
ton in procuring Winslow, Lannier e Co.,
to pay tie interest due Neither did he
employ the $4,000 in purchasing State
stocks, but used il until some time after the
expiration of Office, when his deficit was
settled.
How he used the money of the State
may be inferred from his letter to c. G.
Clay, of Aug. 3, 1864. In that letter he in
formed Clay that he had purchased arms
to the value of S75,00o, and begged him to
send him the money he had promised. He
said ut has been very difficult for me to
arrange, rcidh the addition Of the funds in my
office. 10 prevent trouble. | shall expect
you to send me draft to Indianapolis at
the earliest possible moment
This wish YOU to send me to square my
accounts. My reputation is involved in
this, and trust that you, gentlemen, will
not leave me 10 suffer- III was understood
that Sj0,000 should be sent to me at Indi-
annapolis The answer ought to have been
there before now"
The people little expected in 1864 that
their money was being used by Democrat
tic official to purchase deadly weapons, in
tended to be employed in their own des-
truction. 1t was bad enough that the State
should lose interest on the S70.00O for two
years, but to have it employed in behalf of
the rebels was an exhibition of Democratic
finauciering that they were far from antici-
pating.
In the face of such treachery on the part
of men chosen by the Democratic party to
fill important positions, its organs affect an
air of injured innocence when charged with
disloyal practices, and sympathy with arm
ell rebels.
LET bygones be bygoneS," says Colonel
Durham, and so say all Democratic ora
tors and newspapers, when confronted by
proofs of the treason OF their prominent
partisans. The people will let bygoncs be
bygones when the Copperhead party has
gone to the infamous grave to which it is
fastening, but until that blessed consum-
nation is reached they will neither forget
nor pardon the opposition of that party to
the war. nor the fragrant treason OF many
of its favorite and influential LEADERSHIP
