Rayville.

We invested seven dollars and
fifty, cents in ride over the rail-
road to Rayville, last Saturday,
moved thereto partly by business
and partly by pleasure. In both
respects the trip was a fair sue
cess. Perhaps the severest trial
we encountered was that Of find
ing the depot at the early hour of
O'Clock in the morning. We
found all the mudholes, and
sloughs and ponds, common after
a recent rain, without any diff
Guilty. They appeared to meet
us, but generally rather coolly.
We tried to split them open for
it. We found a rail thrown across
one of the bitches by the railroad
employees, possibly for a sell; we
disdained walking a rail, and took
the ditch. Neither Mr.. Parker,
nor Mr.. Locke nor Mr.. Mcclure
can sell us in that style at the
early hour of five in the morning.
Possibly those ladies, who COM
planned so bitterly Of wet feet,
were sold, but we have the salts
faction to know that we were not.
Cali aboard the railroad" saith
the conductor, and off we ''put"
like railroad sure enough, only
the whistle was somewhat wind
broken. In two and a-half hours,
we made Rayville, the parish
seat of Richland parish, little
town Of one summer, a tube well,
several houses, and quiet de-
meanor, except on Saturdays
when the inhabitants turn out
under arms and practice at tar
gets, and now and then at each
other. The cemetery, however,
is very small one; in fact, we
did not see any at all. 1t is not
improbable that the reason OF
this is the inhabitants all die
away from home, Rayville being
a remarkably healthy place.
During high water, the place is
pretty well washed by foreign
water and is thus annually reno
waited - at least, one Of Ray
ville's (not) particular admirers
impaired such gossip to us, and
gossip is allowable in such a
sketch as this is, whether it be
true or false.
Our stay at Rayville extended
from Z: 80 a. IN. to 5 80 D. M,
during which time we made head
quarters with Maj. J. G. Richard
son who runs bachelors "ription''
and a tax collectors Office. The
Major fed us on pig provided by
his brother and our companion,
Col. R.,) breiled steak, roast tur-
key, eggs, and the like, saturated
with Krug. The Major explained
the geography Of Rayville to us
very clearly; in fact he made
Rayville-on paper. Rayville is
so-called for Col. John Ray and
"his two brothers," but it is due
RayNille we should say the peo-
pie are not partial to the name.
Rayville, to be serious, is a
promising little village. It is To-
Gated in the center of parish of
good size, excellent lands and a
working population. The rail-
road glides through it; while
Boeutf river steamers fillits streets
with the echoes of their whistles.
1t is not, however, very pleasant
iy situated, owing to the proxim-
ity of marshes and swamps. Its
inhabitants appear thrifty and in
}dustrious; its stores, of which
there are only two, are well-filled;
its Courthouse respectable, and
its general makeup pretty fair.

c0nfrere, Mangha1n, who drives

The XVIII Amendment.

ultimate rejection by sufficient
number of States to defeat it's rat
ification has of late given to the
XVIII Amendment, and especial
" to its status with reference to
final adoption, an Importance it
hitherto failed to attract in con-
sequence of the general belief
that no efforts could defeat the
well-devised plan to carry the
measure triumphantly through
all the stages of the fiercest oppo-
sition. But not even our Con-
sentative exchanges, whose col
umns have been employed in
discussing the subject, are agreed
in opinion as to the final fate of
the Amendment. This results
partly from the novel mode in
which some of the States have
ratified the measure, and partly
from difference of conjecture as
to what will be the action Of 9th
ersof the States whose legislatures
have not yet voted. Missouri,
Kansas, Indiana and New York,
for instance, are claimed by the
Radicals as having ratified the
Amendment; while by the Dem
ocrats it is urged that the unusual
and informal manner followed
out in each Of those four States
to secure ratification, renders the
action of their respective legisla-
lures null and void. With refer
ence to Ohio, State admitted
by the Radicals as being essential
to secure full and complete ratifi-
cation, some of our Conservative
exchanges claim that the legisla-
ture recently elected will vote for
rejection. Georgia is also relied
upon by the same journals as op-
posed to the Amendment. If
their conjectures prove correct in
the end, the Amendment will GER
tainly fail, as without Ohio and
Georgia it cannot be ratified,
even counting the votes OF the
four States first named as consti-
tutional and binding, which would
be an absurdity in the case of
New York particularly.
But it appears to us, judging
dispassionately, that the vote of
both those States will be given
for the Amendment, and that, by
hook or crook, it will eventually
be decided as ratified.
Our readers generally, we pre-
sumo, are familiar with the pro-
position known as the XVIII
Amendment. Briefly stated, it
proposes to take from the States
the control of the suffrage ques-
ton SO far as not to permit them
to deprive any one of the right to
vote because of his race, color or
previous condition. In other
words, it is designed to perpetuate
negro suffrage at the South, with
the pretence of making it general
all over the Union. This propo-
sition, in its local application, is
notpractically Objectionable, since
every one must see that as reyo-
luton brought upon US universal
suffrage, so-called, so will reyolu-
ton be the means and the ONLY
means by which it will be remoy-
ed. Hence, we have felt some
what Indifferent as to the fate of
the Amendment, assured that il
could in no event ma teriaUv
change the complexion of affairs
at the South. In fact, but for the
revolutionary character and dos
tructive tendency of the Amend
ment, in it's open Reputation of
republican principles, we should
feel a secret pleasure in seeing
the Northern States forced to

Union and jackson parishes.
Can't see where to put the new
Courthouse.-Vienna Telegram.
The following extract from an
other article in the Telegram
would enable the editor, it seems
to us, to see exactly where the
new courthouse will be:
The s.New PARISH question is
again being agitated in this sec
ton; Col. Allen Greene is work
ing for it with all his might.
And we will add, if Col. Greene
had not snubbed Col. Ray so
awfully, we should say the new
parish would be called Greene
and it's capital Greensboro. We
have no disposition to meddle in
this matter, but take the liberty
Of an old settler to say that we
think Green would not be an in
appropriate name for the new
parish. The inhabitants of the
proposed new parish could afford
to wait until the election of a new
and respectable legislature, and
by that time be better able to
afford the expense of paying for
public buildings and to secure the
selection of such officers as would
suit their ideas. The present az
rangement looks crank-sided to
us-a few men will engineer the
whole affair. No doubt new
parish is needed, but we suggest
that it would look better to have
it born Of respectable parentage,
and also not to destroy the parish
of Jackson in making it. If the
proposed arrangement is carried
out, the next step will naturally
be to apportion out the remain der
of jackson among the parishes
adjacent, Or tack it on to the new
parish. Suppose the good people
Of Jackson, like the people OF
| Rhode Island, determine to have
two capitals, one at Vernon for
themselves and another for Col.
Greene at his place, and then let
the parochial government osci1-
late between the two courthouses,
and thus they may: preserve in
tact the limits of that excellent
old parish in spite Of agitation.
Anything for quietude and to
please Col. Greene.
U Judge Lewis has declared
the office of Parish Judge Of BIZ

being constitutionally ineligible +,
according toJudge L., from which
decision an appeal has been taken
returnable in ten days before the

been not few, but we predict
he will yet sit as Parish Judge
and be recognized as such by the
appointed Judge Of the 18th Dis
trict. Col. Lewis's decision may
be correct, but he ought to blush
with shame to decide upon the
question of any officers eligibility.
If we understand his history as
an attorney correctly, he is doubly
an intruder upon the bench, and
Judge Lewis himself will admit
we have no personal feeling in
the matter one way or the other.

The OUACHITA TELEGRAPH.-
This is a neatly printed paper,
and ranks with our best political
exchanges. Prompted perhaps by
a 1audable pride, the editor has
recently been comparing it with
his country exchanges, and point
ing out the faults in some of them.
Finding none, however, in the
La. Baptist, he asks this strange
question: upon what days of
the month is the La. Baptist pub
lished If friend N1cCranie will
tell us what days of the month
Thursday comes on, we will try
to answer his questionable. Bap-
list.
Our contemporary has the 1<nack
Of taking a joke we'll and turning
it to good account. We thank
Bro. Wells for his compliment,
and assure him he is correct in
saying we can find no fault with
the Baptist. He will understand
the point of our query when we
further assure him we do not
receive the Baptist once a month,
and have seen only the Novem-
Der No. Of his Sunday School pa
yer during the past six months.
r Minis, Of the Farmerville
Record, has no idea Of yielding
his opposition to Chinese immi-
grafton. He is now discussing
the problem" with a certain
writer whom he calls ga one-horse
editor named Horace Greeley, who
fires his dirty squirt-gun from the
Sodom of modern tilnes.'' Hor-
ace must take care Of himself.

unite, that there will be no difficult
ties between friends and nei ghbors

gle for labor. We venture to
hope further that the time is not
far off when there will be labor
abundant to supply every de-
mand.
