FRIDAY MORNING, May 81 1901.
Yesterday the morning opened bright and
clear, but before noon it clouded up and the
heat became very oppressive. The arrival
of several Western boats and the discharg.
ing of the same, gave the landing very
brisk appearance. The arrivals since our
last are the Henry Ames, Bee and barges,
and Ruth, from st. Louis; Leonidas, from
Cincinnati; st. Nicholas, from Red river;
and Vicksburg, from Ouachita.
The departures are the Indiana, from
Louisville; and the Monsoon and B. L.
Hodge No. 2 from Red river.
The contract for transporting United
States supplies between this port and New
Orleans has been awarded to Captain Lloyd
1. Belt, OF the Lady Gay, backed by the
Atlantic and Mississippi Steamship com
pany. The contract goes into operation
June LIST.
FROM AB0yE-The ST. Louis Democrat of
the 9th Inst. says: The river rose very little
on Saturday, and was about stationary yes
terday, with fifteen feet water out to Cairo
There is an abundance of water in all the
upper rivers, and all are rising slowly. The
weather is again clear and pleasant. Bust
ness was fair last week, but freight was un.
usually scarce toward the end of the week
for New Orleans. Liberal receipts and ship
ments are anticipated this week.
Mr.. Hays, of Peoria, Illinois, has invented
machine, which Is on exhibition, for
enabling Il steamer to override all obstruc-
tons 1t consists of long line of plows
fastened to frame in front of the vessel,
and so arranged that they can be lowered
or elevated at will from the deck Of the
steamer. When steamer meets bar the
theory is that the plows will force a channel
for her, aud all the water in the river run
ming into the artificial break thus made
will be amply sufficient to float her over the
| obstruction"

LETTER FROM OUACuTTA.
The Registrntion-A Rebel Fighting
Editor and MayOr-What should be
Done with HIm-The Kalny Weather
MONROE, La, May y, lS6

1luNHoE, Id, MAY -, 1901.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The work of registration is still progress
ing in this parish, but owing to the fact that
a large portion of the colored citizens regis,
tered as soon as the books were opened,
together with the heavy rains which have
fallen here for the last week, the work of
the registers has not been laborious of late.
Probably most of the white citizens that
can register will come forward after the
decision of the attorney general is received.
There are several who declare that they will
not register at all but am under the i'm
preston that some of them will see the day
when they will be glad to keep step to the
music of the Union.'
Mr.. McCranie the editor of the Ouachita
Telegraph, is one of the noisiest, fght-thrcat-
ening rebels We have in the parish. Prob.
ably YOU have heard of him, and of his
abuse of Mr.. Edwards, member of the
board of registers. His own friends repri.
manded him for publishing such false state
ments concerning Mr.. Edwards as appeared
in his paper. MoCranie is mayor of Mon
roe, and should be made to follow in the
tracks of John T. Monroe. He is bitterly
opposed to reconstruction under the present
acts of Congress, and has become very UNI
popular, especially with the Union citizens,
some of whom declare that McCranie has
done nothing but preach and publish trea
son, and levy heavy taxes, since he has
been mayor.
1t has rained here in torrents nearly every
day for the past week, and the crops hav,
suffered very much-the high land by wash
ing and the low land by water standing
