The ST. Louis Democrat, Radical paper, admins
tiers to President Grant castgation for his in
reference with the elections in Missouri, hoping by
the success of his pets there to be certain of his
denomination for the Presidency. From the lesson
read to his Highness make the following extracts
In 1864, Missouri gave forty thousand majority fol
Abraham Lincoln. 1t has given about forty thou
sand majority against you and had not colored voters
been added and mainly controlled by your followers
the majority would have been over fifty thousand.
What is it that the people disapprove? We can in
form you, sir They deem it outrage that you have
tried control State election by gross abuse of your
power of removal and appointment. They maintain
that it is wrong for President to that power te
force himself upon the people for a second term
They desire you in future to pay better attention te
your duties at Washidgton-thed duties which your
masters the people, assigned to you and not to spend
your time in meddling with State elections. 1t seems
to the people that you deserve severe rebuke, alike
for negectng your legitimate affairs, and for abusing
the power entrusted to you and being freemen neither
awed by your name nor seduced by your Offices they
give you that rebuke very plainly.

THE REASON WHY.-The New Orleans Bulletin as
signs two reasons for the defeat of the Democratic
party in that city. First because of the infamouf
election bill which threw SO many impedments in the
way of registration to those who were hostile to Rad
casm and secondly because of the unftness of the
candidates selected by those who assumed the prerog
alive of choosing for the Democratic party, it il
well known that sufficient number of anti Radicals
failed to register to have completely changed the
plexion OF the election.
This portion of the State was not at all surprised al
the result in New Orleans 1t generally understood
that pothouse politicians in the city had taken control
of the destnes Of the party the eminenty genteel
citizens scornng to soil their dainty fingers and tender
consciences by stepping forward and giving tone to it
although the assurance given to the world that
these Miss Nances were in majority. A fig for these
thirty and third per cent gentry, ninety nine in
hundred whom, though too immaculate to descend to
aid in party organization, would yet not scruple to de-
mand the pound of flesh in commercial transaction.
But what right have we, in Caddo to say a word,
since there are some seven hundred more registered
white men in the parish than there were white Demo.
cratic votes polled at the late election?

TAXATION A Democratic member Of Congress
from Illinois, Mr.. Marshall, recently illustrated how
the people are taxed to death, BY going over every
article in daily and showing the tax levied upon
EACH This taxation ia onerous enough under any cir
cumstances but it is harder to be borne when the peo
pie who pay them know that only small proportion
of the money they pay reaches of the
ernmen the rest going into the pockets ofthe protec-
tionists Mr. Wells the Radical Commissioner OF ReTe-
nue. in his last report Congress- proved concusvely
that on only portion of the leading interests thus
protected, the people of the country we're actually
taxed over $500 900 year, out of which the gov
eminent only gets SIS 900 o0o-the other 1925 900,
900 going into the pockets of less than 1000 men, GU
OF the 40, 600, 900 of people thus taxed he showed
that on pig iron salt leather lumber and lasting Tor
Shoes the government now receives only about 00O
ooo while the people pay tax on these articles Of not
less than 500 600 They dismissed him, of course,
because he told the truth; but his statements we're
never successfully assaied.
This is the progressive spirit Of which the Radi-
cal party boast, and which few weak Drained Demo-
Gratis are disposed to accept IS true progress.

We have time and again assured those OF our read
ers who live al such distance that they have never
made an effort to give the place fs'r trial, that
Shreveport paradoxical as il may seem, is one OF tue
cheapest and dearest markets in the Souh-eheap for
dry goods and groceries and dear for cotton These
assurances NAV have been set down to the score OF

and other causes render Shreveport as we before said
one Of the best cotton markets in the South.
And the reason why it should be cheap market FOL

enjoy very large trade and this OF course, Justhe

PREMIUMS An THE MARSHALL FAIR.-As We have be.
fore remarked, the Fair most credtable effort,
and gave attering promise of what will be in the years
to come. The officers of the Association discharged
their onerous duties with commendable zeal and gave
the hghes. satisfaction to the numerous visitors on the
grounds OF these We have heard special mention
made of the President, Major James Turner, and Of
the Secretary, Capt. G. W. Barrett.
Touching the premiums, a mddle-aged married
friend with but little of the poetry of youth and its
vivid imaginings clinging about him-and testimony
from such source is incontrovertble-e
assured US that by far the most beautiful and attractive
objects on exhibition the ladies' and he assumed
that the premium offered for the fairest,
was because a decision, where there was such dag
cling array, could have been arrived at by the
bewildered judges.
The following those of citizens who were
awarded prizes James K. Ashmore received the first
premium on a very fine colt, and the second on a
blooded cow 1t was admitted that she the finest

considered the finest looking and so came in. DR..
