these renegades, as usual false to
all principle and honor, have aim
ed an assassin's blow at our press
and thus at the dearest right of
our whole people. In the name of
Heaven, let not a single Democrat
give them one jot of assistance but
let us tell them to ''lay on" and
let us do everything to sustain and
keep alive our own newspapers,
subscribe, advertise and, if neces.
sary give money to them; and the
day is not far distant, aye its light
is even now beginning to illumine
the distant horizon, when these
newspaper tools of radicalism will
be buried in merited infamy and
their editors and supporters will
be calling upon the rocks and
mountains to hide them from out
ragged people. Task Democrats to

NEW WAY TO COLLECT OLD
DEBTs.-A Covington (Ky.) mer
chant observed man passing his
door who owed him $500. He
had often dunned the individual
for the amount, and at times, too,
when he knew the latter had the
money and could have paid him,
but still the claim remained un-
liquidated- On this occasion, how
ever, he determined to adopt q
new course. Instead of demand
payment, he went to an officer,
and pointing out to him the delin-
quent debtor, told him that the
latter had a large amount of coun-
terfeit money in his possession.
The officer Immediately arrested
the man and took him to Jail,
where he searched him, but in
stead of discovering counterfeit
money, found about $1,000 in gen
uine greenbacks. The merchant
was close at hand, and while the
money was in the possession of
the officer, he attached it, and
thus secured his $500. When the
alleged counterfeiter found that
he was yictimised he was very
angry, and threatened to sue the
merchant for false arrest and inn
prisonment; but the latter retort
ed by threatening to go to Cincin
natl and bring q host of creditors
who will pounce upon the remain
ing 81, 800. This was sufficient,
and the matter was dropped

others, yet l would like to call the
attention Of your readers and Of
Democrats generally to a state of
things which I consider improper
and carrying generosity a little
toofar. The Printing Bill, social
ed, is known far and wide, and un-
derstood by our people on account
of its infamy in attempting to
crush and destroy the Democratic
newspapers which represent the
sentiment and politics of nine
tenths of the people of Louisiana
who know anything about politics.
This Printing Bill, beside thus at
tempting to destroy the organs of
the people, wrings from the hard
hands oflaboring men their honest
earnings, to enrich and pamper
the vilest set of scoundrels who
ever dishonored the form and
name Of man, and who edit news
papers which are the creatures of
fraud and corruption, and which
disgrace the name of a Free Press
in our land. This Printing Bill
appropriates over one million of
dollars from the pockets Of an i'm
poverished people, coming their
very life blood to build up and
support these men and newspa-
pers, black with almost every
crime that has I a name, while our
own newspapers, edited by our
own true men who have never
ceased to battle for truth and
right, are to be crushed, starved
out, destroyed. In this state of
things, why is it that / see the ad-
vertisements of goods and wares
| of Democrats and men who oppose
the ruthless rule of the Radical
party, in these sheets, which as
said above, are the tools of fraud
and corruption and are sustained
by the basest robbery of the peo-
pie and by the most infamous leg
islation that ever blackened a
statute books Have these Demo
Gratis, who patronize these sheets,
ever thought of the aid and com
fort they are giving to our sworn
/ enemies who have not lost an Op.
portunity for three years to de.
grade, oppress and rob us? Have
they thought that the same sheets
deuounce them as "rebels," as men
| who merit a felon's doom upon the
gibbet, aye, and would give them
this doom If they dares Have
these Democrats ever thought
that this patronage, given to 9
a democratic newspaper, would
assist in sustaining it against th'
blows aimed by the fiendish spirit
of radicalism which is endeayorins
