A recent letter from Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens to.a Radical friend in this city
states that a bill, will be presented at
the opening Of the November Congress
sional session for confiscating the prop
erty Of all Southern ex-slave holders
who dismiss the freedmen for voting

it is understood, strongly favors this

About-Home Matters.

Under this heading we have, this
week, but little of interest to mention.
The business of the Town, which for
several weeks, has been very dull, has
now come to a perfect stagnant finale.
We have never known or seen the like
before. Our merchants are gloomy in
deed, and well may they be so. No
crops, no money, no silver lining to
the dark cloud, and all more or less in
in debt! Economy, retrenchment and
harder ticks than ever must be resorted
to-and then never say fail!
Z With all this sad picture, and really
but too. true, idleness and loafing
both white and black, stillrllle supreme
and are above par! These crimes seem
TO be on the increase and certainly de-
mand curtailment. No country, no
people can hope to prosper, when they
lend an encouraging hand to such
evils! The hour fast approaches when
these gentry must work, starVe or emil
CRATE. The sooner they accept either
contingency the better for us all.
Although we hear of much sickness
elsewhere in our State, still Rapides
and Alexandria continue remarkably
and unusually healthy. The days are
yet very hot, the thermometer reaching
Cd daily in the shade; but the nights
are getting cool and pleasant. We
manage to keep below fever heat and
partake of no stimulants except DR.. ST.
Johns home made purest Of syrups!
All wishing to keep in our fix can be
made comfortable by giving the Doctor
% call and you can get any kind Of the
pure juice he manufactures. Be sure
to take our advice. To close our weeks
local chat we will mention that old Red
has come to a stand, after rising si1

To Some fellow, styling himself
loyalty" informs us through the
columns of the N. 0. Republican that
the originators. and supporters OF the
Military feature of the State Seminary
were enemies of the Union, and made
the Seminary o Military Academy to
help destroy the Federal Government.
When the public recalls the following
facts, that said aiders and abettors of
treason were General Sherman, who
smashed the rebellion, and General G..
Mason Graham, the most uncompromi-
sing Union man in the South till hos
tiities had actually begun; that DIR.
yallas, one of "Loyalty's " "promin-
cnt" obstacles " in Sherman's way in
carrying out his reasonable designs,
was the only advocate of disunion in
the Faculty at the breaking out of the
war, and that while Sherman was ac-
tually shedding tears over the disunion
of the States, the loyal Doctor was
abusing him to the community as an
abolitiopist and unfit to be President
of q Southern school; and further, that
said loyal Doctor used to preach seces-
sion in his classroom and altogether
blew the loudest "secesh" horn in
these parts till his treachery to and
sudden desertion from the Southern
cause in 1864; we say, when the pub
lie remembers those things, Loyalty
must be voted either o fool, or knave
or perhaps both. 49, ,.ton..a,s

try have ever done. We must expect
military men to be elected to Office for
some time to come, and until their I'M
becility shall cause a reaction in favor
of able and experienced craftsmanship.
In giving utterance to these views
we must not be understood as individ-
ually favoring the pretensions of Gene
raj Grant or Of any other candidate
The white men of the South will have
no voice in the next Presidential con-
test, and the high-handed measures of
the Radicals will, it is hoped, lead to
such reaction as will stifle the voice Of
the niger patchwork which is expect
ed to furnish the electoral votes to de-
feat the will of the white people of this
white mans country. The South will
be silent spectator of the contest, and
her only chance of salvation is in the
success of the Northern Conservative
party. She is perfectly willing that
that party shall fight the battle in its
own way, and follow the leader who is
best able to gain the victory. When
elected his administration will receive
the hearty support of the Southern
people,
