ted a number Of political Migrants, in
the country parishes, Supervisors Of
the election. One has been commits
stoned Tor Rapides; he is a carpet-bagg-
ger anG the Radical nominee for the
most important office in the Parish. He
claims full authority as head boss Of
the concern. This is surely refreshing
impudence, as the meanest tyro, knows
that the constitution has no force until
tits ratified By the people and APPROX
ed BY Congress. Consequently any ap-
fpointment under tits null and void
The appointment Of the election com

A Word to All.

We cannot be too sparing in our adj
wise. to all citizens, without regard to
race or color or previous condition" to
conduct themselves in a decent and
becoming manner on both election
days. Be quite and orderly and
above all touch not drop Of in
toxicating drinks, even if you should,
by slight Of hand be able to unearth
some. We musthave q fair and peace
full time of it-no fuss, no broils, no
loud contentions--and above all no
threats. To our colored voters we
would earnestly say, heed not the ad-
vice given to you by the few mean
white niggers who at heart are cravens,
poltroons and dirty hounds, and who
for Office hang to your skirts! We know
they have advised you to come tc
Townarmed and to fghtfo your rights
This is the poor pretext Of bad men
who have nothing in common with you
They seek TO get up fuss and ther
would be the first to sneak off and
leave you in your troubles. Remember
last election, they gave you the same
bad advice and you did notfollowitant
YOU know full we'll how all went Of
quietly and orderly. Do SO again ant
| YOU may rest assured all will end well

Strive now, or give itup forever, 70

Are You Ready for Negro Equality?

The corner stone Of the bastard Con-
stitution lis negro equality. Every Of
icer elected under it is required to
swear that he will maintain the equal
ity Of all men without regard to race or
color. An article Of the Constitution
gives every one equal rights on pub
lie conveyances, in all places Of public
resort, and in all places for which j
cense is required by any law, Of any
State, parish or town. Now, it is easy
for the assembled wisdom Of bastardy
and Carpet bagism to. require q Ii
cense for everything, and We have no
doubt that they viii require Of every
gentleman license orkeeping par

EP Do the voters know that this is
the only chance they will ever have to
ward off tho evils of negro dominationf
Even under the restrictive registration
the Conservatives have now more
strength than they will ever have if the
Constitution is adopted. The disfran-
easements BY the military bills are
nothing wien compared to those Of the
Black Crook Constitution. That in
strument puts it forever out Of the pow
or Of the Conservatives to change the
Constitution when once adopted. Now
is the only chance; let us not throw it

There stand the figures! Men Of
Rapides do you see them 2 The small
number is yours the large one that of
your foes!! Can you reduce these
figures to a mere fraction9 Are you
ready 2 Are you prepared : Have
You pondered we'll over the ruin, the
disgrace that await you if you now re-
fuse the fight and tamely submit not
to face the thunder9 But we know
well you are made of better stuff you
are white men, the descendants OF
white men and are not ready to forfeit
that glorious title. Remember and be
forewarned, that Rapides expects every
man to go to the polls and vote; aye!
and vote AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION |!
And vote too an open ticket! No fall
tering, no blinking, no standing back,
no sickness, no excuses viii be receiy-
ed! Every white man will be on
watch on the 18th and 18th and q long
watch it will be and no change Of
matches. Those who are not for us are
against us, and all must now show their
hands and show them plainly; all must
show under what flag they fight
There is no half way ground to stand
upon, which would not condemn the
man who occupies it, white or black, in
this contest. The colors are plain and
positive; there can be no mistaklng
those of the enemy. No absence on
sick leave will do! So go to bed early
on the night Of the 10th, and rise by
break of day on the 18th, and be pre-
pared to vote, to work !; to work inces-
sanity, to work without rest, to work
until Z o'clock P. NJ. of Saturday, the
18th inst. You must have forty EIGHT
hours rations cooked and in your pock-
ets-you cannot spare the time to go to
your meals you must be on the alert
all the time. No such an occasion
ever offered itself for men to be men in
the true sense of the word. No closed
tickets no refusing to vote!! Every
mae on duty! Every man at his post
Vote AGAINST THE CONSTITU-

New Periodicals.

We return our thanks 10 the Leonard
Scott Publishing Company, New York,
for their admirable reprint OF Black
woods Magazine and the North British
Review for March. The following is
the table Of contents in Blackwood
1. The Church in the Army and Navy ;
2. Linda Tressel; 8. The Temporal
Power Of the Papacy; a. A Fenian
Alarm; S. The National Character OF
the old English Universities; 6. Letters
from a Staff officer Of the Abyssinian
Expedition ~. Opposition Tactics. No.
8 is very interesting at the present
time, considering the complications
surrounding the papal question. No. 6
gives an interesting accounted the pro-
gress Of the Abyssinian Expedition, on
which the eyes of the world are now
centred. "
The North British contains the fol-
lowing articles: !. Trade Unions; 2
French Criticism; 8. The Financial
relations Of England aud India; a. Re-
cent Spanish Romances; S. Popular
Philosophy in it's relations to Life; 6.
Montalembert's Works Of the West; Z,
The Queens Highland Journey;'e. The
Atomic theory Of Lucretius 8. Ireland
This is an exceedingly interesting ia
bic Of contents, every article in which
will repay perusal. We were particu-
larly interested in the able Article or
'Lucretius," having recently had occa.
sion to read the profound and tasteful
poem of the great Latin poet, whose
peculiar opinions form the ground
work Of the article in the present
number.

B There is a perfect middle with
all in regard to the election Of the diff.
ferent Municipal officers Of the State,
and some of the Parochial officers, such
as Police Jurors, Parish Magistrates
and Constables. We are Of opinion
that none can be elected under General
Buchanan's order, unless amended or q
new one issued. AS usual, we Of Ra-
.gides, partake Of the general middle
and deep in it. We have only eight
election precincts for the coming cleo
ton established, thus leaving six Police
Juror Wards without an election pre-
cinct. Even as now fixed our Pineville
neighbors will have to go to the Prairie
to vote for Police Juror, Constables and
Magistrates. Again there will be only
one box allowed at each precinct and
only one ticket allowed to be deposited;
in other words in Alexandria you must
vote for Governor down to the lowest
Town officer and all on one ticket.
This is bound to cause confusion and
no fair election can be held. There
will be polled three Thousand votes at
the Alexandria box, and but about
three hundred are voters for Corpora
ton officers. How can such an cleo
ton, thus conducted, be fart How
can such be avoidedq How can hun
dreds be prevented from voting fol-
Mayor and Councilmen who live not il
Alexandria, but in the Lamourie, Che
NEVILLE, Rapides or Pineyille Wards
We hope by election days some in au.
thority will fix things in some shape.

Der, that last year, some Of the colored
people showed a disposition to vote the
Independent Radical ticket, and were
deferred and bullied from having Their
choice, by a few well known niggers,
who are ruling spirits in the Club-in
one instance their tickets were forced
from them, torn up and thrown away.
This viii not be permitted this year at
this election; the colored people will
find ample protection in voting as they
choose.

which but very little is planted, is coming
