ElRE.-Iast Saturday, about 5 O'Clock in the morn
ing, fire discovered in the northwestern cell of
the parish jnI, occupied by six or seven freedmen
The keeper was quickly hand, rescued the prisoners
and had them conveyed to the lookup. None Of them
made their escape. The origin Of the fire was the
work of one of the freedmen and the others no
doubt accessory, the fire must have been burning
come time before the alarm given. They were
confined in the "cage," but by some means they
managed to break the paddock and get into the main
cell. During the excitement consequent upon the fire.
the keeper mislad the key to the other cell in which
some white prisoners confined, and it was nearly
an hour before it could be found. In the meantime,
the situation Of these anything but pleasant
The steam fire engine was On hand and worked well,
but owing to the heavy logs and the manner of the
construction of the CELL the fire not e1tinguShed
unti eight o'clock. The only damage done was to the
cell in which the fire originated.

While on this subject, we do not think it out Of
place to enter protest against the importation Of
such large stocks Of goods daily receiving

to pay for them For months past every steamer that
has landed here or gone above has been rciehted to
its utmost capacity. 1t is evident to every observing
mind that neither the money its equivalents in
the country to pay FOR them To predicate their pay
ment on the growing crop is chimeEica The uncer-
tany of the crops should be taken into consideration
as we'll as the Huctuation in prices. No doubt large
amount of these goods we're purchased under the ex-
pectaon that cotton would be worth at least 35c per
pound in currency. Fatal delusion. No country can
be prosperous which is not sellsuppoTtng. To import
more than export is suicdt and it requires nei-

But there are other elements which must be 1eycl
oped within ourselves that will be necessary for our
progress in the various relations and stages of life
Educational development must be combined with other
clements no less requisite in order to form grand
self-redeemng power. We must cultivate that self
respect and selreliance which characteristics true
hood and give nobility to manly character and bear
ing 1t is true, past condition very unfavora
BILE to the cultivation of these vital social elements
We have not held any position OF sufficient dignity
and honor to encourage their cultivation and so long
has been precuson from the higher walks of life
that we had nearly lost all hopes OF ever reaching
them Now that our pathway is being cleared of all
the rubbish which silly preudices have thrown therein
must begin life anew, and apply ourselves to all
those sources OF improvement and prosperity which
have made other and nations great and powerful
We must remain united and so to work as one man
in the discharge Of our duties, and III maintaining
and guarding our rights aud privileges. We have one
common interest at stake, and our efforts and ener-
gcs must be kept in channel in order to protect
it. We are too weak to divide ard suhdiyide on DO
litical issues. Our political existence is yeti new
to admit any local dissensions among US. Our future
success depends entirely the nature of our first
move. If we begin disunited We will surely end in
chaos and ruin. Wherever We have sufficient power
we should make our mark by electng to responsible
and honorable positions men of own race. This
will be our surest safeguard against those political re-
rogressons which have entailed so much misery and
corruption in this country. There will be reaction
after the reorganization Of State which will send
confusion iii ranks unless fully prepared to
meet it. Much will depend upon the character of
those men who will be called to put the new State
