question. There must lave been some powerful infu
ence to thus hush all discord. We told that at
Radical meeting held prior to the reconciliation, the
attention of the speakers directed almost exclu
sivey to denouncing those of the opposite wing of
their party. Mr. Smothers was treated to dose that
would equal the outpourings of Massachusetts Rad
cal against the imaginary Ku-Klux. Pnchbaek was
styled "colored carpetbagger" as he came from the
North after the war, stimulated by greed of gain, to
fasten himself upon the hard working colored men,
and fatten at their expense. Scarcely ever has
bitterness been shown between political parties than
between these two divisions in the Radical ranks but
one word, as assured, from His Excellency,h
has brought concord and peace, and the combatants
now "coddle under the same dirty bed clothes" We
have said that it may be difficult for some to under

To Our Country Friends.

This is the last time shall have an opportunity of
nficng advice upon our planting friends before the

upon Shreveport in the coming contest. They are in

the government be honestly or dishonesty admins

belong and So becoming disguised that all the world
not intellectual themselves, get lukewarm in
the damn it with faint praise. 1t is needfu
that there should be such men-they help to make up
the assortment" But for every other available pur
pose they utterly valueless, and nuisance
While-and we proud to say 1.-THE great mass of
citizens true steel to the cause, yet
cursed with few such men as We have alluded to.
The planters, however, must needs be unit on this

fail appreciate the Importance to themselves that
this Radical party should be hurled from the high

utter stupidity to argue that you will float with the
current-that effort of yours avail against the
Radical party. Animated by determined spirit, the
true men of the State drive this cormorant from
his prey-this vampire from his feast.
1t is mseraby selfish and short-sighted policy that
suggests to the planter that he will use no effort
argument, persuasion, to induce the freedmen to
vote the Democratic ticket, for fear of giving them
offense. Such should be looked upon by his
neighbors with suspicion and distrust. By this
of conduct he designs to profit from the audabe efforts

HOME MADE MoLAssEs.--Since the adueration OF
molasses in the form of so-called golden SYRUP has
been so much practiccd at the North, it is we'll that
the home culture of the should be entered into.
There is not planter in this region who, with little
extra pains, could not make his molasses if not
his own sugar. Mr.. Scott, near Kingston in DeSoto
parish will this make nearly two thousand gal
Ions of very superior moasse several barrels Of which
can be seen at McCuchen & Co.'S We great
advocate OF home products, and think he is public
benefactor who makes pint OF molasses where none
was made before.
In this connection notice that druggist in New
Orleans after Analysing some of this golden syrup"
pronounces it triumph of science nature, since
it contained no sugar at all, but is produced by the
destructive acton of strong suphurc acid upon starch
The following method hr detecting the frand is
given:
Dissolve teaspoonfu of the golden syrup in a
wine glass of rain water then add few gransof tam
mic acid when it will turn black ink if the article is
spurious If not convenient to procure tannin make
cup of strong tea (Which contains taDnin) and add
teaspoonful of the golden syrup" and fair quality
of ink will appear.
