For Coroner,
GILES G.. WOOD.

sm. The present Issue OF the Dem
ocrat is the last that will reach our
numerous readers before election
day. and we sincerely hope and
trust, our warnings, our teachings
our aspirations for the good and
true welfare of our home, the Par
ish of Rapides, will not have been
unheeded or in vain. We have
been candid, earnest and honest in
those numerous appeals, and have
never overdrawn the picture OF
"woes innumerable'' that will sure
" follow another term OF power to
the present Radical dynasty. we
have no excuses to make for our an
ametheas hurled at the corruption
SPECULATION and downright robber'
les of the Warmothean reign, nc
regrets to sigh for in our past
course and no apologies to crave
from any one for contending fol
right against wrong. we nave
done our duty, as a journalist, Will
out fear, and certainly without re
ward, or even the remotest idea o
it, and as man and citizen, having
true interests at stake, we shall COZ
tinue in the same path to the bit
ter end. We end the canvass witt
clean hands, empty pockets and
clear conscience, and by 8 o'clocl
Monday next will deposit a full
Democratic ticket in the ballot
box, and then work like a young
beaver until 6 P. M. to induce, beg
entreat and coax others to do TIN
same. Let others follow our teach
ings, our example and the Who'll
Democratic ticket, without a blu
or scratch, will be elected.

NEWS.

The yellow fever is getting down
and we hope it will soon disappear.
A welcome sight greeted us yester-
day-a slight shower of rain, but we
would like a little more. A stiff
Northern breeze came up last night
and still continues, making Winter
clothing quite desirable. The wal
news is not to be depended upon, but
it looks now as if we might have
peace. Returning citizens greet us
every day, and the city begins to lool
more cheerful, although there is still
no business doing.
would call the attention of oul
readers to the fact that Mr.. Fowler
Captain of the ship John Parker, vii
be here next month with choice 10

ed stock, shetland ponies and terrie
dogs. The cargo will be consigne
to Mr.. G. j. Shepard, No. IL Unto

ticulars can address him on the sui
ject. Yours Truly,

STATE WARRANTS.

Many persons have purchased
State warrants intending to use
them in the payment Of taxes. To
all such We suggest the propriety
of going at once aud paying them
in to the tax collector. A bill will
soon be presented, providing for
the compulsory funding of all
these warrants. The STATE owes
something near 100000 and our
Radical rulers desire to'dispose Of
that amount in such manner that
they will not be compelled to re-
port it from time to time. BO-
cause if they do with the immense
sums which they intend TO dis
pose Of. it will look too stupen-
dou,, and besides, they desire to
clean up the decks smooth and
neat and have q clean sweep OF
their own. Therefore, it will be
sound policy for the holders oI
State warrants to use them al
once in the payment Of taxes as
it will not be a great while before
they can not use them in thai
manner.

CITY TRoCBLEs.-Thcre appears
to be quite stir in the camp OF
the city officials The Mayor, SO.
called, among his first acts, rcmov-
ed Mr.. Frank Packard, City Clerk,
and appointed in his stead Mr.. j.
w. Short. Immediately upon be-
ing informed OF his removal, Mr.
Packard, as we learn, locked the
dockets and other important pa.
pers In the safe of his office. locked
his Office door, and went to Jackson
to see Governor Alcorn. During
his absence, as it is stated to us,
his office was forcibly entered, the
old lock removed from the door,
aud q new one placed thereou.--
This etiectually shuts out Ar. Pack
ard from his office. The question
now arises, has Mr. Packard been
legally removed or not.
This fight Is one in which we,
of course, can have no inter.
est and no voice, since ii Is
one in the Radical party and
q very natural one too, being
about the division of spoils.
We have in many articles shown
that General Webber is not the
Mayor Of the city, and that he can.
not be until he has become a regis
tered voter in compliance with the
provisions of the City Charter.
Consequently he has no authority
whatever for the removal OF Mr..
Packard, Upon the score Of resi-
dence Mr.. Packard has decidedly
the advantage, having been resi-
dent of the city about four years
and Of the stale nearly SIX years,
whereas General Weber has only
been a resident Of the State about
five months.
If Governor Alcorn, in the ap'
pointment of General Webber
imagincs that he is rewarding on'
OF his supporters no is sadly mis-
taken since General Webber wa.
not a voter during the recent cleo
ton. The Governor has therefor
ignored the claims of those wh'
did support him, and is giving ali
to one who could not have votc'
for him had he desired 1t.

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THE
Micro.

MICRO.
We are glad to know that Q
member Of Congress from Ten
nessee has nominated negro boy
from his district as a Cadet to
West Point. 1t is true he has
dodged the question somewhat by
seleetinga mUlatto. Why can not
some Radical be found ofsptlicient
nerve to make the issue direct:
Ifthc negro has the right Of ap-
pointment to this institution, then
LEI the negro have it. Why dodge
the question by the selection of a
mulatto2 or as Butler did recon-
mend muiatto whom he knew 10
be incgibIe Oh account Of his age.
Butler is shrcwd. He knows that
his constituency does not consist
solely Of blind negro. worshippcrs,
yet hc had to make show ofcor
sistency, and hence he nominated
a negro, hut one whom he knew
could not he admitted. Mr..
Prosser, from Tennessee, is at.
tempting very nearly the same
thing. That is, he has nominated
bright mulatto whom. lie hopes,
if admitted, will SBc tolerated ON
account Of his near approach in
color t. white. The New York
Herald SAYS that the admission Of
negroes to West Point will blr,Ge
it up. What will q loyal, Radical
Congress destroy an institution

The latest dispatches from Gu
la indicate that the insmrcctiOn
there is upon its last legs. 1t is
again announced that General Jor-
dan has left the island; that the
Cuban Congress has been diSsoly-
ed. that in the insurrectionary
districts n strong feeling in favor
Of the Spauiar,l, is being revived.
Had the administration OF the
United States furegone Il foolish
principle involved in the Alabama
claim with Great Britain, Cuba to
day would have been annexed to
this country. How much more
would it not have been worth than
the miserable paltry sum which is
involved in the Alabama claim.
But then there was no room for
corruption and bribery in the Gu.
ban transaction, whereas, in the
other since the claim is in behalf
of private individuals who are will
ling tn pay literally to receive the
money lost by them, there is room
for profit. However, So far as We
Of the South are concerned, it is Il
very fortunate occurrence, as it
would have added Just one other
