81 BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN LOUISA
NA.-Washington dispatches speak of
the arrival of Col. Keller of General
Rousseau's staff, with the generals re-
port of the operations in his command,
also a report of the recent disturb
ances in Louisiana. Those dispatch
es say that Col. Keeler represents
that the hostility of the white people
of that state to the government is most
bitter and intense, and that the pres
ent military force under Gen. Rous-
seau is wholly incompetent to the pre-
servation of peace at all points; that
during the recent trouble every dispo-
sition of his troop was made, and ev-
cry possible measure taken to pre-
serve the peace and protect the pco-
pie in their rights without regard to
party, but that the spirit of rebellion
was too much for the force now on du-
ty there. The colonel further says
that the republicans did not generally
vote at the late election, being advised
by their leaders not to peril their lives
in doing so, as they would had they
gone to the polls. In this advice the
general concurred, saying that with
the force at his command he was ut
terly powerless to establish a differ
ent order of things. 1t appears that
Gen. Rousseau has been in constant
consultation with Gov. Yarmouth du.
ring these disturbances, and that bis
course met with the approval of the
union men in Louisiana; also that
Gen. Rousseau demands a most search
ing investigation.
The above summary shows conclu
sively that even Gen. Rousseau who
was sent to the department Of the
! Gull, because of his sympathy will
"my policy" has at last become con
WINGED that something of the rebellion
is still left in Louisiana. Let us hop
that the administration of Grant will
wipe out the remaining vestige of tn
shareholders war, peaceably if posi-
ble-if not then let the first oficia
act of the new administration be
proclamation calling for million Of
men, and next time let the work b
thorough and complete.

Oh, See Here!

- ~ ~
After the first Of January next we
shall insist upon advance pay for the
from all persons who live
out of the state, as we'll as from some
who live IN IT, We shall make out
bills against all these distant subscri-
bers to January |, 1870, requesting
them to pay up to that time, when if
not paid we shall stop the paper, pre-
ferring to lose what is already our
due, than to run the RISK or losing
more. We hope every one OF them
will see the propriety Of this course
and have the manliness to pay with
out murmuring, the amount we ask of
them. We ask nothing but what is
Just. We are driven to this course
from the many and repeated losses we
have sustained in the past, and thus
seek to guard against any more such
contingencies in the future. Our loss
es since we have been publishing the
Standard, from bad debts occasioned
by trusting everybody for our paper,
runs deeply into the hundreds of dol
lars-nearer two thousand than one
and we are going to put all end to
our foreign losses by demanding pay
in advance. Many of our distant sub
scribers, and who are scattered from
Maine to California, have paid up to
January /, 1869; these will not be
sighted, but will receive bills with the
rest. and if they are not paid the pa
pers will be stopped with the rest
Many Of these men we know, are per.
sOnally acquainted with them, and we
know them to be good, morally and
financially, but that is no reason why
we should trust them. Many of our
patrons we do not know. How can
they expect us to trust them, tota
strangers to us? Yet we have done
so heretofore to cur great cost. We
wish to part company with zone OF
our prompt paying patrons. We asI
them to stop with US. But in Orde
to do so they must pay in advance
1t is as easy to pay in advance as a
the end of one, two, and three year
No honorable man will complain {
our request for advance pay; the
can see it is our only safe course.
We hope the day may soon con
when the system of advance pay wi
be the only one recognized by pu
fishers; when they will enter upon
IN earnest and be adhered to by evel
member of the press, and no paper
allowed to leave the Office until pa
for. This course will insure US {
against losses from bad debts and W
enable US to give our patrons bett
paper for the same money. o. r
member this, then, you who live o
of the state, that 1Oe a0ant pay for
Standard to January /, 1870, and '
shall send you a bill to that da
which we hope you will pay up
sight, otherwise we shall discontin
it. o. Subscribers IN the county "
confer favor upon us by doing
same without a bill being sent the
Pay this month. Now don't be a fo
get mad, and stop your paper beca'
we have dunned you! If you
poor you must erpect it; if rich J
should be ashamed of il This is
the consolation we can offer you.
