RADICAL DEAD WEIGHTS.
The Radical Republican party

The Radical Republican party is
welded to a set of sophisms which
must eventually entomb it among
the "dead beats" Of the past. 1t is
in league with the bondholders, the
tariflites and the universal equality
impracticables, of the New England
school, either Of which, is sufficient
in itself, to spoil the best party broth
in the world. It may manage for a
long while to maintain its corrupting
sway by the financial succor afforded
it as a remuneration for services in
the boadholding interest, even in spite
of the drag of othefSsues which can
not bear the test Of popular scrutiny
and trial j; but the elements Of dissolu-
ton which it CONTAINS, must finally
tell, to its own downfall and destruc-
ton.
One of its prime hobbies,-the
equality of the races,-which it is
endeavoring to foist and fasten upon
the Southern people, has proved too
glaringly repulsive to be tolerated
even in those hotbeds of Radical
Republicanism in the North, East
and West, where the question of
negro suffrage, when dared to
submitted to the popular Judgment,
has been disdainfully and over
whelmingly defeated. Herein we
discern one of those elements of dis
solution which is helping to knock
the pins from under the Radical
fabric.
Another one Of the elements" is
to be found in that species of class
legislation developed BY the Radical
Congress ip its high tariff schemes for
protecting aud~promoting the shoddy
interests of New England to the
exclusion Of the interests Of other por.
tons of the Union. All such pet
projects lend naturally to the aliena.
ton Of one section Of the country
from another, and are producing
feeling of discomfort and Jealousy and
a general depression in western trade
and manufactures for which the Rad
ical party will be held accountable
when the next grand reckoning day
rolls round.

HUNG.-The Feliciana Ledger Of
the I'd inst, gives the particulars Of
the execution of Edward Harrison,
the freedman, which took place at
Bayou Sara, on Friday, the 1st.
Harrison was convicted at the last
term of the District Court, in West
Feliciana, on the charge Of having
murdered a little white boy eleven
years old. named Eddie Smith. The
prison yard within which the culprit
was hung, was guarded by a de-
tachment of u. S. soldiers sent up
for the purpose, from this post. The
prison was attended by the Rev,
Richard johnson and a colored
preacher. He died, protesting that he
was innocent of the crime to be ex-
plated by his death, and addressed a
few salutary words of warning to his
friends who were present, wishing,
at the same time, peace, good will
and farewell to all.
The soldiers who attended the
execution returned to this place by
the Iberville, on Sunday night.

60 The colored voters who had
the nerve and moral courage to vote
the Democratic ticket, from sense
of duty to their country, deserve the
lasting esteem of this community.
We know colored men in this city
who have consistently opposed this
Radical movement, and subjected
themselves to abuse from their friends
and relations. Let them return good
for evil, by using every argument to
induce their deluded brethren to Join
the colored Democratic Club so that
we may become united, prosperous
and happy people.
The above from the Caddo Ga
zette, of Shreveport, will do to re-
produce here, and is equally appli-
cable in its compliments and counsel
to the colored Democracy of our city
and parish.
AFRAID OF CITIzENsHIP.-Recently
a committee of the Rhode Island
legislature had conference with the
remnant of the Naragansett tribe of
Indians, now living in that State, to
learn whether they desired to avail
themselves of the privileges of the
civil rights bill and become citizens
They respectfully declined the honor,
however, and express desire to
still keep aloof from their politics
loving and tax-paying neighbors
The right of suffrage was strong
temptation, but they did not yield
There are but 1873 Of the Naragansetts
left, and much negro blood now runs
in their veins. They own about 5000
acres of land, and under the guard
anship of the State, make their own
laws and elect their own officers.
BoREs.-Old gents who sit down

Mothers who force dislnterested
people to notice their children.
