To the Citizens of Bossier.

with the freedmen for the past
three years.
Being convinced that the sys.
TEN in operation throughout the
country, hasdone more to distract
and impoverish us, than all the
the abuses and irregularities of
the present political pressure, we
are determined in this Association
to meet and discuss this impor-
tant matter, that we may devise
the best and most uniform means
to regulate our relations with the
negro laborer-who has changed
in a few years, from a useful, con-
tented aud doeile creature, to
worthless vagabond and depreda-
tor-a nuisance to the community,
useless to himself and dangerous
to the public safety.
In looking back to the past sew.
eral years experience plainly shows
the principal causes of this great
change to be obvious. In many
parts of the parish the planting
interest has been entirely eontroll.
ed by negro managers. The large
land owners have had cabins erect.
ed throughout THEN tracts. to IA
cilitate this system, and land.
utensils, pillow teams, and provis.
ions placed at their disposal. This
has greatly added to the mania
among them of settling for them
selves, and many have squatted
upon public lands, and been suf,
Tered to rent without sufficient
means to operate, or even a pro,
per support.
The consequences are too famiI
lar to the mind of every farmer TO
need comment. He has but to
cast bis eye over his premises, and
the shattered condition of his
fences, decay OF his building, and
reckless waste of his substance.
are arguments sufficiently promi,
nent.
The negroes. thus pampered by
being placed iii positions of trust
withoutcapital, as chief managers
OF property and agricultural inter.
est without Judgment, experience
or integrity, have, as natural Sc
quenee proven entirely unworthy.
They have not only suffered the
planting interest to go down by
lncompetency, inattention and
vagrancy, and devastated the
country, once self-sustaining, by
depredations upon stock and other
property-but allowed themselves
imposed upon by the vilest of po-
lltical tamperers, a villianous set
OF floating adventures from the
Northern States, aided by a few
us, willing 10 sell their
birth-right for selfish gain, and a
little prominence on the platform
of negro equality. Thus they have
invariably used their influence
against us at the ballot-box, and
in parts of the parish have actual
" raised up in arms against their
benefactors by whom they were
fed and sheltered.
Looking calmly at these facts.
with the expectancy of the con-
binued abuses ofthe party in pow
er, we can but conclude every true
citizen will feel it q duty to Join

wise the system and to frame a |

BoDcEAU.-Fishing has not been
better for several years past than
now. The white or speckle perch,
as it is indiferently called, is the
principal sort caught. A few even
ings since, in few hours, party
of three of our neighbors caught
forty pounds. And few days
before, party of five caught 800
fish. All done by rod and line.
The sport is fine, as long rods and
lines are used, and deep fishing in
the open lake. Bossier is famous
for game of all sorts. Camp hun.
ters often visit us from Claiborne.
and must have good success, for
they come often and stay long.
We thank them, however, for the
deer and turkeys, at times, badly
lnjure our crops. Shreveport also
for some years past, has been half
supported by the game of our
swamp, much of this game being
very large and weighing often $50
pounds per quarter. In fact, our
parish is famous for more things
than one.
