Another Improvement.

1t will hardly escape the notice OF
newspaper critics that the reading mat
ter this issue ct the TELEGRAPH is set
in different type from that used since
our enlargement. The type issued dur
ing that time, had a lean, Cassius look
not in accordance with our taste; was
difficult to read, and by no means
graceful. We have substituted for it a
type much easier read, with round,
graceful proportions, and a clear, bold
face which matches exactly the beautiful
type used in the advertising columns.
We think we may now claim the blue
ribbon''

We are sorry to learn of the defeat of
John Cessna, in the sixteenth Congress
sional District of Pennsylvania. What
aggravates the matter is, that his Oppo-
nent, Il Democrat, is elected by only Il
small majority. MIR. Cessna was a
Douglas Democrat, Il member OF the
Presidential Convention of 1868, but he
became Il War Republican.-N.O q. Re
publican.
The defeat Of Mr.. Cessna affords as
great satisfaction. \ more bitter par
tisan or unfeeling congressman does not
sit in the House of Representatives.
He is wholly unable to do justice to a
Southern man, fact abundantly pro-
ven by his uniform opposition, as Il
member of the Election Committee, to
the claims of a Democratic members
elect, come with what majority they
might. He, however, would go his
length for such men as Syphcr, of this
State, Wallace, of South Carolina, and
such other Radicals rs had any prctcn-
sions to seats, and rejoice to SOC them
admitted. In fact, he had Il hankcrng
for all such dirty work as that. That
is why his defeat hurts the Republican.

Black.MailinE Officials.

Ry direction of Governor Warmotl
a sealed and registered letter has been
sent to an official in an adjoining parish,
stating that his Excciiency had request
ed that this official should at once con-
tribute funds to the carrying-on of the
campaign, in behalf Of the Radicals.
We imagine that this is a sly trick for
Warmoth and friends to get Il little
ready money to defray the expenses of
their show tour through North Louisi-
ana. The venture has turned out very
disastrous, leaving margin filled with
expense. AS for the canvass, money
can be had out of the State to pay all
the expense of that, and leave a balance
for profit.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1870-10-22
Do We Threaten!

The organ Of the Radical boilers re-
quests plain answer to the question,
Do we threaten the colored voters? OF
course we dove threaten them with
the Radicals every week, and if they
clearly understood their real interests,
no threat could be more alarming. We
threaten them with Radical taxation,
Radical ingratitudc and Radical ny
pocrisy.
But we do not tell them, as Capt.
Sheridan did when endeavoring to drive
them from the Democrats, that if they
! vote the Radical ticket we will be in
favor Of reducing them to slavery again,
pretending all the while they may vote
as they please. Nor do we tell them,
as Supervisor Jones does, that their
citizenship and freedom is contingent
upon the ticket they vote. We tell
them they have a legal right to vote,
and to vote as they please, and that
they are responsible to themselves, to
their posterity and to God for the exer-
else of this right. We tell them, as we
honestly believe to be true, that their
ultimate interest is to sustain the DEM
ocrats, and that unless they ito this in
the. coming election, they will have
thrown away the golden opportunity,
which, now seized upon, will make.
them, individually and collectively, po-
litical sovereigns the remainder OF their
lives. Every one knows that the laws
regulating suffrage are not inllnutable
that Congress, having conferred suf-
frage upon the negro, may, under the
same stretch Of power, deprive him Of
it, or white the privilege down to al
most nothing. The State itself can reg
ulate the matter. In either of these
events-if suffrage is to be based upon
education or property, as many Repub-
icans advocate-where will be the un-
tutored negroes support, if the intelli-
gent whites are not at his back? Thus
we repeat, it becomes OF the greatest
importance to the negro now, to bind
the whites firmly to the maintenance
of his suffrage, which he can easily dc
by going with the Democrats If he
elects otherwise, then he is presumed
not to want any friends or any help.

IS Hit 1t ExactIy.'

The following very complimentary
opinion of the style and appearance of
our new sheet, comes from one who,
for over three years, was foreman in the
Office of one of our Southern capitolian
dailies, position he filled so satisfic-
torily as to secure promotion to desk
in the editorial room, where he is now
employed. This gentleman, an excel
lent printer, writes us as follows:
We have just received your enlarged
sheet. / cannot resist the temptation
Of writing you Il congratulatory epistle
on its handsome appearance. 1t is
really suberb-one Of the neatest coun-
try sheets that has yet fallen under my
notice, and even excelling in its beauty
and symmetry many of our city dailies.
Your taste in the selection and use of
display type is excellent. The old ide;.
that every line of an advertisement
should be put in large and fancy type, has
long since been exploded. The tendency
among all intelligent newspaper men
and printers is every day to something
plain, neat and simple. 1t matters not
how small the type, if properly dis
played, IL handsome appearance Is at
tanned. Advertisements i'll 4 newspaper
should resemble reading matter more
than posters. In this simplicity and
neatness, they are more attractive to
the general rcader-particularly man
Of refinement and taste. You have hit
it exactly.
You have good reason to be proud of
Your paper. 1t will pass muster among
the best. l see you still stick to SUI
perior article of paper. 1t is a good
deal more expensive, but adds much to
the appearance of the paper when
nrintol.

FIRE-The residence and kitchen OF
Mr.. ]. f. MCGUIRE, situated near the
saw-mili just opposite the upper portion
of town, was destroyed by fire on Sum
day afternoon ut about o'clock. The
contents of the dwelling were saved,
but the contents of the kitchen were
consumed The fire appears to have
originated from u stove i'll the kitchen,
in which couple of children had made
a fire, Mr.. Mcclure and family being
absent.

IN MEMORIAM.

| At meeting of the citizens Of Mon
| roe, assembled this day for the purpose
Of paying the last tribute of respect to
that great and good man, General
| ROBERT T.. LEE, Hon. Isaiah Garrett
was called to the chair and O. d. Still
man chosen secretary.
On motion OF Col. Richardson, the
following committee was appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense
of the meeting:
Judge r.. w. Richardson, Col. a. e.
Hill, Col. Robert Richardson, A. l..
Slack and S. d. McEnery, Elsqrs.
On motion OF Col. Hill, the citizens OF
Monroe We're requested to close their
business houses for the day and drape
them in mourning, and the following
gentlemen were appointed to notify
them:
r. b. Lignoski, Leon Dreyfus and $.
w. Bennett, Jr.
| The meeting, on motion of Col. Rich
ardson, adjourned until . O'Clock Z. NJ.
| The meeting re-assembled in the
evening in the Public Square, attended
by the Monroe Brass Band, and was
opened with prayer by the Rev. II. B.
LaWson-the stand having been appro-
priately draped in mourning by the
ladies of Monroe.
! The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the following, prefaced by some
very appropriate remarks from their
chairman, Judge Richardson:
Whereas, we have received the sad
intelligence of the death of Gen. ROBERT
Z. LEE, OF Virginia, who departed this
life on the 18th of October, 1870;
In honor of the illustrious dead, and
as an expression of our deep sorrow at
this dispensation of Divine Providence,
| in common with the people ofhis native
land, while we bow in humble submits
| sion, feel that something more than ST
lent grief is due to his rcverel memory
Therefore it is
ResOlced That. we have received the
sad intelligence of the death Of General
ROBERT f. LEE with tho most pro-
found and poignant grief. Endeared as
he was through life to his tcllow-citiZens
by a spotless purity of character and
moral worth; admired for his great
mental requirements, and beloved and
honored for his superior military abili-
ties, III sadness we realize the mclan-
choly fact that a great and Il good man
has passed away.
Iees0lred, That the death of ROBERT
T.. LEE, i'll view of the abilities and no.
bic traits of character embodied in his
life, may be justly regarded as Nation
al calamity and as atfording to future
historians II bright example of human
perfection we'll worthy of emulation.
Resotced, That, in common with our
fellow-citizcrs throughout the land, we
tender to his bereaved wife and family
our deepest sympathies.
Ieesoired, That, in respect to the
of Gen. ROBERT f. LEE, all
places of business and the public build
ings will be draped in mourning.

Another Serenade.

We SEQ by the Homer Iliad of tho 18th,
that Gov. Warmoth and party were sore
natled by DIR. p. a. Williams and a number
of the young mon of Claiborne.
Is it not strange, Mr.. TELEGRAPH, that
some people i'll this country will serenade
tho Governor of their State ?-INteliyencer.
If we understand the meaning Of a
serenade, and know anything about
the character OF the Governor of Louis
lama, we must confess there IL some
thing strange in these screnades. AS
for the sercnade given Warmoth, i'll
Monroe, by the Brass Band, we can
state that, while the music was not paid
for Gas we had been ut first infOrlned)
for that occasion, it was nevertheless
furnished at the request of three or four
of Warmoth's Radical admirers, who,
to avoid paying for it, urged that the
one hundred and fifty dollars to be paid
for the next days performance ought
to cover the cost of playing for the
nights sercnade, to which proposition
the Band assentel, rcpudiating then,
as they do now, that they gave vol
untary serenadc to Gov. Warmoth on
the night of his first exhibition in Mon
roe. The young men of Homer will
no doubt enter similar protest.

To VERNON SUPERINTENDENT friend
in Vernon writes us, under date of the
18th inst, that only onc-half the copies
of the TELEGRAPH Of that date, taken
ut Vernon, reached their proper dcsti-
nation, and that those received camo
loose in the mail bag. Our Vernon list
makes two large packages. These were
carefully wrapped up last week, the
wrappers pasted, and the packages tied
with cord. How they came broken
open, VIC cannot ascertain but, we pre-
sumo it was owing to rough handling
in the transit, either by post-masters or
mail carriers. We thank our friend for
apprisiug us of the occurrence. Due
in the way of iron ties, or
of the kind, will be observed
in future to get the TELEGRAPH through
the bombariment Of the mails.
