70 The Texas Republican SAYS
pork is selling in the town of Rusk
at So per hundred, corn SOC. per
bushel, butter 121c., potatoes 4Oc.
per bushel, eggs 125c. per dozen
and turkeys 90 cents.
Corn SOC, per bushel, and pork
&C., per pound! What a compar-
ison with our B0ssier market
No wonder the tide of emmicra-
ton flows through our land with
out even the hating Of a solitary
straggler. Texas holds open her
broad arms to the emigrant-offer-
ing, as an inducement, the necessa-
ries of life at the lowest possible
figures. How is it, here in Bossier,
for instances: Corn, from 81 to
81 so; pork, from 10c. to 123c.;
butter, from 40c., to 50cS eggs, %
cents. Think of corn here being
worth 81 80 while it is quoted in
New Orleans on the decline at 90
cents. These exhorbitant prices,
under the circumstances, are sui
cidal to the bestinterest Of the com
mon country. Emigration is driv-
en- from your doors, gentlemen,
and your lands excluded from mar
ket. And, worse than all, your
next door neighbor is forced to
purchase his corn and pork from
a foreign market-or do worse,
buy from you at a sacrifice.
This "penny wise and pound
foolish' policy must be done away
with, or the lands of our section
will remain drug upon the hands
OF the owners. Land is cheap
enough here-too cheap entirely !;
but this evil will never be reme-
died until the necessaries of life
are placed at reasonable figures.
Look to it, farmers of Bossier, and
promote the best interest of your.
self and parish.

Organize! ORGANIZED! p!

We CdUitOU loo OICeU, OF 100 ur-
gently press upon our readers the
necessity of a thorough organiza-
ton of the white Conservatives of
the State, to defeat the schemes
of the black Radicals. The Con
vention of Mongrels, now in ses-
sion i'll New Orleans, would never
have disgraced the Mechanics In
stitute with their presence and
stencil, if the whites had organ
lied to defeat the call. Suisse
quent events have demonstrated
the truth Of what we assert. Then.
some of our people voted "no Con,
vention,' and many did not vote
at all. There was no organization
and no determined policy. Hence
d handful of Adventures and
mean whites, carried things as
they wished. DO we intend to
pursue a like policy at the cleo
ton which will be ordered to de-
termine whether or not the Con
stitution shall be ratified? If we
do not, it is high time that we
had begun to organize. This is
something in which every white
man, woman and child in the
State are deeply interested, and
if our people do not shake off
their lethargy, and awake nov to
the truth of what we assert, they
will eventually be awakened by
the knell of their own sad doom.
1t is useless to mince phrazes.
We want no negro suffrage-nor
negro jurOrs-nor negro COVER
n0rS-hor negro officers of any
kind, State, parish or municipal.
We do maintain that this is, and
of right ought to remain a white
mans government, both Federal
and State. We do maintain
that the happiness and prospect
ty of all classes, both white and
black, will be promoted by keep
ing the control of the government
i'll the hands of white men. We do
not propose to argue the question
now. 1t is uselesS-for ninety.
nine out of every hundred of Oul
readers recognize the truth of the
assertion. Yet, we have no con
cert OF action, no organization, to
prevent the State from passing
under the control of ignorant
black men and a few knayish
white men. Our brethren in 9th
er States have organized. Loui
slanlans are, apparently, palsied

Gen. w. S. Hancock.

Action was devoured by his
own dogs and thereby became IA
nous; and, Gen. Hancock, it is
likely, will owe no littleo of his fame
to the efforts made by Radical
dogs to devour him. Congress re-
fuses to pass for him a vote of
thanks, and bills have been intro
duced to deprive him of his rank
in the army and his command of
the 9TH Military District.
And why do "the little dogs
and all,' of the Radical pack,
thus bark at him? Is he dis
loyal to the Union? or has he
played the tyrant? or been for
getful of the principles of the con
stitution, or guilty of conduct I'M
worthy of an officer and a gentle
man? The reverse is emphatical-
ly true. He was d gallant and
successful officer in the Federal
army, and, if we remember right
ly, shed his blood for the Union
cause. He has declined to act the
tyrant, or to be revengeful and
spiteful to a people over whom he
has been appointed to rule. He
has been true to the principles of
the constitution of his country, as
expounded by the Fathers. He
is a gentleman, and has won the
esteem, not to say the love, of a
people, who were, a short time
ago, alrayed in battle against him
and the cause for which he then
shed his blood. He has refused
to bedraggle the uniform Of an
officer OF the army Of the United
States in the filth and slime of
partisan politics. Furthermore,
he has done more to re0iUe q regard
for the Union IN the minds and
hearts Of the Southern people, than
all the officers and priUateS of the
u. s. drnsy combined. This is say
ing a great deal, yet we believe it
to be true to the letter. No South
ron has read the sound constitu-
tiopal principles and magnani-
nous sentiments contained in his
first order, on taking command of
this Military District, who did not
! feel that he could cordially grasp
the hand that penned them, and
respect the flag which had such a
man for Il defender. Such men
as he, actuated and governed by
principles which have thus far
characterized his administration
of this District, can alone revive
a Union sentiment among the
people of the South, and if "a
union of hearts and hands, to re-
store the government and people
to their former prosperity is desir
able, let such men be sustained by
the people Of the North and the
South. IT disunion and strife
and ruin are coveted, let General
Hancock, and such as he, share
the fate Of Action. In either
event, history will take care of
his fame, and place him beyond
the reach of the. ours who then
will be remembered like another
OF their species who "bayed the
moon.n
