OiiiCeiS VI ciie foeottiiiolS' ieteI'itt0o, w
leste and Richmond, and to the citi-
zens of Alexandria and vicinity, for
many favors extended them during
the progress of the late Fair. Moth
ing but such kind attentions and
liberality could have secured the
complete success their enterprise has
met with.
THE ELEoTIoNs.-Important State
elections in New York, New Jersey
and West Virginia have just taken
place, and the result is complete and
decisive Democratic victory The
end of the lane has at last been reach
ed, the backbone of the monster COM
pletcly broken and the Democratic
party triumphant. Verily we may
now look with some hope to brighter
future for our poor country. In our
next we shall comment freely on this
suspicious event. En- attendant let
us give hundred cheers for the glori-
Gus Democracy of New York, New Jer-
sey and West Virginia.

U By referring to another column
it will be perceived that some of our
citizens have rendered Compliments
ry Benefit to the Manager of the Thes-
plan Association and that Wednes
day, November 18th, 1869, has been
mentioned as the performance night,
and the pieces selected are: The Skel-
eton Witness and Nan, the Good for
Nothing.
We must be permitted, on this occa-
sion, to throw in an extra good word
for the beneficiary, and in doing so we
are not afraid of being accused of too
much partially. We are only per-
forming pleasing duty to ourself
and an act of pure, simple justice to
the candidate for the public's favor
and appreciation of genuine WORTH
We have known the young man from
his ''wee boys days." he is one of us of
the "fourth estate" and since the gen.
eral let down of poor humanity for the
past five years, is yet the same good
one. In every and all respects he de-
serves q genuine bumper, and we
would never forgive the people of
Alexandria and Rapides if they fail to
act the decent thing in this Benefit
matter. We are not afraid of the re-
suit, however, and leave it in the
hands of those who have undertaken
to do good and just act.
NEWTON RrCHARDs.-I In our COL
umns Will be found the advertisement
OF this long established and highly es-
tecmed importer. manufacturer and
dealer in Marble, Stone and Lime
Every one who has had dealings in the
Crescent City, is familiar with the To-
cation of Richards Marble Yard, on
Customhousc, between Dauphine and
Burgundy streets, one of the Oldest es-
Establishments of the kind in the State.
We know that Mr.. Richards is already
so we'll established in the confidence of
our people that we have ouly 10 call
attention to his card, to secure for him
a liberal share of the patronage of our
citizens.
p We have had pretty cold and
fair weather the whole of the past
week. Cotton picking most over, and
the bales rolling into Town at II lively
lick. The sugar planters are busy
wind-rowing their cane, and but few
mills have been grinding. No inn
prpvement in the yield of the cane-it
is awfitlly poor aud could not be worse.
We hear of twenty eight acres of last
years stubble making only four hogs
heads of sugar, This we fear is fair
sample.
~ Crandal & Clary, well known
and reliable business men, have open
ell General Commission House and
Auction Mart, on Second Street, back
of the Ice House, and We would be-
speak for them a fair trial from the
public They also purchase cotton
and other country produce.
