The printed rolls Of voters in the several

The printed rolls of voters in the several
precincts are very incorrect Many names Of
registered voters are omitted from these rolls,
even when such names have not been struck
from the lists. Voters who may suppose that
their names have been struck of, and who
have neglected to register anew, should not.
on that account, suppose that they have lost
their right to vote. They may find, on exami-
nation. that their names yet stand on the origi-
nal lists, and they should take means to ascer-
tain whether or not such is the case. For this
purpose they should apply either at the regis
try Offices, or at the polls on the day of cleo

The Black Crook Constitution says that
every business requiring license is "public
business" The Legislature and the council
can require license for anything so that if
the Black Crookites get into power, there will
be no such thing as private business or phi
vate rights in the State of Louisiana. Every
body's business viii be everybody else's bust
ness, and everybody viii be forced to enter
tain negroes, whether he wishes to do so or
not The only way to avert such tyranny is
to reject the Black Crook Constitution.

The party known in Louisiana as the
atrooly loir" party-the @vagrant and mendi-

known in Connecticut as the cranberry

ingenious scheme to deport Democratic voters
to certain imaginary cranberry patches in
New Jersey, but the Democratic voters failed
to see the alluring prospect and the plotters
gained nothing but new name.

TE LEvEEs ABovE--The Sugar Planter OF the
4th, says:
The water from Grand Levee crevasse has
reached the plantations In the rear Of False river,
carrying away fences, bridges, etc. Our infor-
msnt states that great damage will be done to
property in that vicinity. as heavy repairs had
been made In anticipation OF the closing Of the
crevasse in time for this years cropping. This is
deplorable indeed. and shows the mischief Of
nealecting this important work. The water from
the same break Is pouring over the railroad on the
other side Of Lake Crocodile, and IL not there
already, may soon be expected on the Crosse
Tete country. The people Of that section have
protected themselves as far as possible, by
chain of levees, built at their own expense, in
ficipston Of crevssses. They have shown their
wisdom BY this precaution as II will prevent i'm
migration to higher lands or other countries.
With perfect system of leyeeing, not acre Of
those fertile lands would be without cultivation.
Louisiana should strain every effort to have secure
levees or the finest and richest portion of her wide
domain viii become . bowling wilderness.

in the company of the itinerant plunderers
