Tuesday morning last it was the good
fortune of quite q number of the beauty
and gaIlantry of Natchitoches-wit a
slight sprinkling of venerable materta-
milias-to avail themselves of an invi-
p tatiou from that affable and courteous
gentleman, Capt Doty, of that elegant
and commodious steamer st. Nicholas,
to visit our pleasant little neighboring
towns, Grand Ecore and Campte, on a
pleasure trip. Although the day was
unfayorable for the voyage, all enjoyed
themselves in the most pleasing and
agreeable manner,--as it would have
been impossible for such an array of
youth and loneliness to have done other
wise. Ample justice was melted to a
most delicious feast, at which wine, wit
and merry laughter were haply inter
mingled-the bright smiles and spark
Z ling eyes Of the fair sex rendering the
sumptuary repast more palatable. En-
rapturing strains of music summoned
the gay pleasure seekers to the giddy
dance, and, with loving smiles. tender
glances and the whispering of ttsoft. no
things in each others ever listening
ears, call went as merry as marriage
bell.",
The participants and their numerous
friends return their sincere thanks to
Capt. Doty for his extreme kindness,
liberality and galIantry as displayed on
this happy occasion, with the hope that
unbounded prosperity and safety may
ever attend him and his favored craft
unsurpassed by any that floats upon the
placid bosom of Red River.

"a The District Court is stilfln session at
this place, and will likely remain so IN
: til Saturday. There were about $50
cases, both civil and criminal, disposed
of. The Grand Jury found so true bills;
20 of which were for larceny, for horse
stealing, 2 for murder, and the remain
der for various petty offences. The
jury rendered verdict Of manslaughter
in one of the murder Indictment cases.
No sentences have yet been pronounced.

ST. PETERS, IN RooIE-St. Peters
for its erection, required one hundred
and seventy six years, and, to perfect
the structure, demanded an additional
hundred and seventy-four years. Its
cost was fifty million dollars in gold,
and, to keep it in, repair, requires an
neutrality-suspicious. of twenty thousand
dollars. Of its vast dimensions, per-
haps the best idea is conveyed by the
ground. TO the top of the dome is four
hundred and forty eight feet, and in
approaching Rome, long before any
other structure about the city strikes
the eye, this dome, like great ball, is
seen toweringin the air.

The Jews, the world over, are noted
for their kindness to their own people
In London they number about fifty-fve
Thousand, the majority of whom are
foreigners, and receive only little aid
to help them on their way to other count
ries. 1t is against Jewish principles to
allow any of their poor to come upon the
public. All the sick in poverty are car
ed for, and provision is made for widows
and orphans. Efficient societies, liber-
ally provided with funds, supply the
poor with food, help the old people as
they need, and bury the dead. Some Of
the free hospitals in London haveJewish
wards, but all the expenses OF those
wards are paid for from the treasury Of
Jewish organizations. IF any able-bod-
led persons are out of employment, and
need help, they receive no gratuity, but
are accommodated with "a temporary
loan, and the cases are said to be rare in
which these debts are not fully repaid.

10 the Colored People.

When you vote tomorrow bear in mind
what the Rev. R. H. Cain said to you in the
Missionary Record of Saturday. 1t was
this:
l. Mr. Lesesne is an old, respectable cit
izen, wei. wei. s s1v1 5y both races.
.. Vote for the best interests of our times.
- 8. The merchants of East Bay and Broad
street have given the colored men work and
paid them good wages.
4. We are now to turn our attention to
our local interests.
s. The question now is not as much as to
parties as to individuals.
6. We are willing to try the men who have
proclaimed that they are willing to do JUS
tice to the colored people.
Z. AS Republican, we are not bound to
any men or set of men, North or South, if
We are to sacrifice the peace and prosperity
of our city to place them in power,
Colored people You will secure to your
selves peace, justice, equal rights, and all
the blessings bestowed on honest and sue
cessful industry, by voting for Lesesne and
the Citizens candidates.

Secure One!

Householders Unless you can yourself
accompany your servant to the polls while
he deposits his vote for Lesesne, it is safer
and far better to advise him to stay away
from the polls altogether. The pressure
and intimidation brought to bear upon con-
servative colored men b. the Pillsbury ne
groes is so tremendous that it is not safe to
send colored Lesesne voter to the polls
alone. Make sure that his vote is not cast
against US, and if nothing is gained nothing
will be risked.

To-Day!

Citizens of Charleston Few words must
suffice for to-day. You neither need nor
have time for more.
The people of this city have already de-
termined that Henry Deas Lesesne shall be
their next Mayor. Shall their resolve be
thwarted By fraud and intimidation ? That
is the only issue remaining.
Shall horde Of ignorant and deluded
negroes from the country, with the dust Of
the -oad still unshaken from their brogans,
be suffered to wrench the government of
Charleston from the hands of those to whom
the Independent legal voters Of the city,
white and celored, have deliberately chosen
to con6de it? They ,rM do it, citizens, uu-
less you work and watch to-day! BE en-
treated to give this day wholly to your city
Go forthwith to the poll of your precinct
and vote; then ask how and where you can
best serve the cause. If you can do moth
ing better, travel from poll to poll, and
watch those who will attempt to vote from
one to another. Spot such, and report
them to our active friends and the police
for challenge and arrest.
You can do good by simply standing at
the poll of your precinct with Lesesne bal
lots in your hands. Our challengers cannot
do their whole duty unless strongly backed
Stand by them, and e1hort them to stand
up to their work fearlessly!
Men of Charleston Your city must not
be disgraced by being made to give fraud
ulent majority for Pillsbury and ruin You
can prevent it by faithful work to-day
We charge you to give the day 'oh0Hy to The
cause!

THE great question to be decided to-day
will be settled in short metre. The hours
in which ballots can be polled will be few,
while the work to be accomplished is i'm
mense. The polls will open at A. NJ, and
close at 5 P. NJ. In the space of ten hours
the fate of the city for the next three years
must be determined. Let no citizen, there
fore, fail to vote at as early On hour as pos
sible. All business should be deferred un-
til this great public duty is discharged.

A Business Call TO Busin ,ss Men.

In ordinary times, business men may well
afford to eschew politics, or rather, to limit
their action on election days to the record
ing of their votes. That is not enough to-
day. The election is the one thing to be
attended to, and to make sure of that, let
other matters stand over till tomorrow.
The Importance of defeating the Pillsbury
party is, we believe, appreciated by all our
business men. They know the danger that
they run, and feel that there is no security
until the adventurer and schemer is deci-
sively defeated.
But mere voting will not suffice. What
is worth doing at all is worth doing efec-
tually. And the business men of this city
who realize direct personal and business
interest in the success of the Citizens
ticket, owe to it more than the casting Of
their individual ballot. They should give
to it their influence as well as their votes.
They should remember that in. one way or
another, in one direction or another, they
have it in their power to swell the list Of
voters, or to frustrate frauds by which their
own votes may be counteracted. Personal
efforts of this kind are not pleasant, we
admit. The real work of the canvass does
not commend itself to the taste of men who
boast that they attend to their business and
leave electioneering to the politicians. For
this day, at least, every man ought to be q
politician. And certainly every business
man who understands the identity existing
between his business welfare and the tri-
umph of Lesesne, ought for once to put his
shoulder to the wheel and render all the aid
he can to crush the profigate party which
would obstruct our business progress

Special Orders.

l. Let every friend of law and order use
all his influence and exert all his power to
preserve the peace to-day.
2. Keep cool-work herd-begin soon
stick to it; and do all you can to poll
heavy vote for Lesesne and the Citizens
candidates.
8. There should be no jostling or crowd
ing at the polls to-day.
4. The election lasts but one day. Lei
the merchant, the trader, the mechanic and
the laboring man give one day to the cause
of wise and economical government.

The Best Sign Yet.

The Courier at the eleventh hour an
nounces that it has detected 'the welcome
s'sound Of an approaching triumph" for the
Citizens party, and accordingly hastens to
hoist the ticket at the head of its editorial
column, and ventures at last to couple the
name of Pillsbury with 'incompetency,"
ssdisaster," Financial panic and business
convulsion ~ Bravo. neighbor. Better
late than never
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1868-11-10
Watch the Polls.

We hope that there will be at least one
hundred white men ct each polling precinct
to- day while the vote is being taken. This
is necessary to prevent the conservative
colored men from being intimidated by the
Radical bullies, who threaten them with
punishment if they venture to vote for
Lesesne.
No colored man shall be abused because
he has the good sense to vote with the party
of law and order, and it is due to our color
ed friends who stand by US that they should
be guarded now and we'll rewarded here
after.
