THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE.-There
appears to be considerable discon-
tent among the laboring men over the
action of the Democratic Council in
reducing the price of city labor to
81 IS per day. The complaint is justly
made that the compensation, paid in
orders, is too low. But the trouble is
not in the price fixed for labor, but
in the value of orders. A city order
for one days labor at 81 IS cannot
now be cashed for more than 81 80.
What is wanted is such financial skill
in city affairs as will bring orders up
from the present discount of 20 or %
per cent The credit of the city never
was so low since the Democratic ad-
ministration of ex-Mayor Hewscn,
and few months more of deprecia-
ton like the last few, will bring the
city to the door Of reputation. Some
thing must be done speedily to save
the city paper from the fate of Con-
federate currency, utter worthless
ness.

COVERING DIsCoUNr.-It is now
stated that the cause of the exhorb-
liant charges of the Democratic pa
pers for city advertising was to cover
the % per cent. discount on orders
brought about by the present Demo-
cratic administration. Really the
organ ought to be willing to bear
their share of the burdens Of Demo-
cratic financial skill, and not tax it up
to the public. But they not only do
this, but abuse their own Democratic
COuneilmen in unmeasured terms.

AN ELoPEMENT NIPPED IN THE
BUD.-A friend at Patoka sends US
the following particulars of an elope-
ment that was nipped in the bud at
that village Yesterday morning.
It appears that young lady, daugh-
ter of a highly respectable farmer
living near Owensville, who had been
engaged to a young man named Jones,
from whom she had not heard for
some time. was met by a gay old
I,otbario a tobacco dealer from
Granville. Illinois, and by him in
formed that he had been commits
stoned by Jones to escort her to Terre
Haute. where he would meet and mar
~ her. Upon these representations
she left her fathers house about mid
night of Monday, and reached Patoka
early yesterday morning. The old
man said they were from Mount Car
mel, and asked the landlord to see
that the young lady got on the train for
Terre Haute When the young lady
reached the depot, she told different
story, or rather several contradictory
stories. which excited suspicious
that all was not fair and square, and
being pressed closely, she revealed
the whole matter said she was
the daughter Of Mr.. v R,
near Owensville, whom some present
knew. Efforts were at once made to
rescue her from the meretricious old
curmudgeon, who was manifestly lead
ing her to her ruin, and she was soon
induced to postpone her visit to Terre
Haute, and remain at the hotel till
her father should arrive and take hel
home. The old tobacco man (who, II
is said, has a wife and family took
the train without his victim. The
girl, who is represented to be young
and handsome, was so confding and
unsuspicious Of danger, and so anx
ious to join her lover, that she haC
not even taken the precaution to ash
the name of the old tobacco dealer
who had thus laid his tolls about he
to encompass her ruin. The name o
the young lady is withheld for OBJ
vious reasons. 1t is a pity that thu
name of the old man cannot be OBJ
tanned, that a deserved exposure o
him might be made.

THREE CITIZENS KILLED
20 Negroes Killed and Wounded

On Wednesday last serious difficulty occurred
on the Fexas road. short distance from the town
Of Shreveport, resulting in the death of three
white me1 and nineteen negroes. The following
facts We have gathered from various persons who
have arrived here since last Saturday night:

revolver in the sir, and Immediately afterwards
was seized By party of negroes who happened
to be in the immediate vicinity, and carried to a
grove near by, where he was bound with ropes to
a tree. Upon the suggestion of q few clear.
headed negroes Of the party, in , few minutes the
man was released. At this moment Q few negroes
from an adjoining plantation cameup, and without
aword of provocstien fred upon and killed Mr..
Jas Brownlee and kessrs- Ogden aad Thompson,
citizens of Caddo parish. Upon hearing of this
state of affairs the citizens of Shreveport turned
out en- mssse and procesdsd to the scene of the
outrage. About nineteen negroes, supposed to
have been ringleaders in the affair, were killed,
having first from their quarters fred upon the citi.
zens as they came down the road. When the

NEAR JACKSON, La, Sept. 20. 1865.
Hsvng noticed the anxiety Of your subscribers
Iessed the esgerness and avidity with which they
deyoured the contents, assures me that its able
columns OF local interest telling mast wonder
fully in behalf OF our common cause, the great
Democratic party. II is through your paper that
we have been greatly encouraged; and permit me
to say that the parish of East Feliciana is now
striving to be, at the coming election, the banner
parish of the State. The town of jackson was
first in its zeal and enthusiasm in giving Demo
cratic barbecue, at which many OF our former de-
ceived and deluded colored friends came boldly to
the standard Of Democracy, which is the polar
star Of our old and much beloved Consultation.
Now, sir, there are clubs being formed In every
portion of the parish, many OF them not forget
ting to attach the much esteemed name Of Han
Geek at their heads, in honor of that gallant COM
mander, whose name will be cherished by Louis
ianians as long as grateful memory shall last.
These clubs have already nearly two thirds of
their colored brethren with them, and before the
election in November there will yet be many
more stan ding In the ranks Of Democracy.
We are satisfied that there Is earnest, faithful,
jealous work to be accomplished; and IL you
could witness the enthusiasm and zeal manifested
at our different clubs, barbecues and public gath
erings, il would do you good. might say that
even amid our daily ocations we never let an
opportunity pass to convince our colored citizens
Of their error. We persuade, exhort and entreat
them, for their own good, to leave the diabolcal
party of Radicalism, and come out and identity
their interest with their true friends, who VIII not
deceive, mislesd or desert them. Our motto Is
