Club of 100 Subscribers !
OUR NEW VOLUME.

A couple of friends living in a
neighboring parish, have forward
ed to this office a club of subscri-
bers numbering ONE HUNDRED!
It is seldom that an interior
journal is conplimented with such
large club, and not often that
large and influential city papers
receive such q testimonial. The
seed we have been patiently SOW
ing for the past five years are be-
ginning to bear choice fruit; ana
| we think we may claim that the
TELEGRAPH is what we promised
in the first number it should be,
to-wit: a real lire newspaper.
Not day passes but new names
are added to our list of subscri-
bers, while the pressure upon our
advertising columns is unprecC-
denied in country journalism.
Our facilities and accommodations
must and soon aviU be augmented.
The new volume, in September,
will open with the neatest, spi-
ciest and liveliest sheet in the
State-a terror to all aiders and
! abettors Of corruption in "these
ends of the earth. -
We thank our earnest friends
above referred to for their active
and generous interest in our be-
half, and will be glad to serve
them when called upon.

To NEW ORLEANS by RAIL-
We learn from Capt. Geo. Cham
berlain, who has recently been
over the route, that the time from
here to New Orleans by rail is
twenty-one hours. Leaving here
at a. NJ, the passenger arrives
at Delta in five hours. By a
species Of craft called a ferry boat
he goes thence to Vicksburg in
time for the one o'clock train east,
which sets him down in jackson
forty minutes before the arrival
of the down train on the
Jackson and New Orleans road,
boarding which he arrives in New
Orleans at half past two in the
morning. Returning,-the time is
81 hours, owing. to the loss Of
time at Jackson and Vicksburg.
Through tickets and baggage
checks cannot be had until reach
ing Vicksbmg, as the railroad
company here appear to see no
advantage in accommodating the
traveller with either.

minority candidates Tor any rea-
son. except for intimid alton and
violence used in behalf of the
other party.
Judged" by the teachings of
experience" invoked by the
Committee, the proposition they
submit is fallacious. The people
of this district elected an eN-Con-
federate to Congress, said to be
VIGOROUSLY ineligible;" the peo-
pie of the remaining four districts
selected men believed to be every
way eligible. Two of these gen
tlemen were admitted by their
contestants to be eligible; and they
we're elected by sweeping major
tiles. Experience teaches that the
men who were qualified were re-
jected and their opponents seated;
while, those who were not quail
fed were also rejected, but the
seats were declared vacant. Such
is experience. The Commit
tee mistake the qualification re-
CURED by the Republicans: it is
simply that the member elect mast
not be q Democrat. If he be a
Democrat, and his rejection be a
party necessity, be he never so
loyal,-a soldier like Gen. Shields,
or an anti-slavery Union man like
Judge Bailey-pretexts in album
dance can be found for his rejec-
ton, and as many more for the adj
mission of his opponent. We have
high regard for the Central Com
mittee, but it is due the Demo-
Gratis of this district that they
should have the benefit of an ac-
quittal from the condemnation i'm
piled in the Committees address,
q condemnation in no way, meri-
ted and from which they are vim
Dictated by the very tribunal ap-
pealed to.
The Address concludes with
the following suggestion rela-
tive to the basis of representation
in the State Convention, to meet
on the second Monday of Septem-
Der next:
The basis of representation in
the State Convention, as revised
and fixed by the Committee, will
be one delegate for every three
hundred and fifty Democratic
votes cast in the last general cleo
ton. Every parish shall be en-
titled to at least one representa-
tive. This rule applies to each
new parish.

THE LONG ROLL ON THE RHINE

Tho revolution in Spain has cul-
minated in Il war between France
and Prussia. Gen. Prim, at the
head Of Spanish insurgents, drove
Queen isabella from the throne of
Spain, promising to give her lib
Grated subjects a republican form
of government. Rising to the die
tatorship, Gen. Prim falsiiied his
pledge, by retaining monarchy
and putting the Spanish throne
up at auction. After months of
weary crying and patient search,
Prince Leopold, a Prussian and
supposed to be the agent of Bis
marck, Louis Napoleon's dreaded
foe, was accepted by Prim as the
highest bidder for the vacant
throne.
The map of Europe shows that
nearly all the frontier OF France
lies adjacent on one side to Prus-
STA, and ON the other to Spain. The
Emperor Napoleon felt reluctant
to see his Empire land-locked by
Prussia and Prussian dependen-
cies; and, moreover, having an
unsettled account with Bismarck,
the willy Prussian Premier, and
some disaffection in his own En-
pire which could he best cured by
war, he protested against the ac-
ceptance of Leopold of the Span
ish throne, and demanded Of the
Prussian government an official
disavowaf and veto of the action
OF Leopold and Prim.
Prince Leopold recalled his ac-
ceptance, but the Prussian gov
eminent refused to accede to the
French Emperor's demand.
A declaration of war by France
came swiftly after this refusal,
followed 10y the marshaling of
troops and other warlike move
,nents, on both sides, unprece-
dented for dispatch and magni-
tude in the history of modern
times. And to-day tho echoes of
the Rhine resound with the thun-
der and uproar of war once more.
Speculation as to the final re-
suit of the giant conflict thus sud
denly precipitated, will be q fruit
full aud even anxious source of
discussion, until such time as the
nature of the struggle is clearly
defined and the number of pow
ers involved is made known. We
are Of opinion that hostilities will
last but q short time. The prob
ability of any Of the other great
powers enlisting Oh one side or
the other Of the struggle, is rem
dered somewhat remote by the
fact that when one, enlists, to pre-
serve European Equilibrium, 9th
ers must follow, and thus a war
commences which must shake eY-
cry throne and bring ruin to every
household. city and country in
Europe. Hence, weconclude that
Franco and Prussia-the latter
aided by Spain-wiil be permit
ted to fight it out alone. In such
Il struggle, victory is not very Ger
tain for either party. Prussia can
marshal the greater army, On
Guiding that Of spain,) but France
is more united and has navy of
40 vessels, while that of Prussia
amounts to only 100. Perhaps
France will win, and then per-
haps Prussia may VIM tho result
depends mainly upon the gene
ralship of the officers selected to
lead respectively. the contending
armies, and this is a point yet to
be decided,

Address Of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee.

trail COMMITTED.
The Central Executive Commit
tee of the Democratic party has
at last indicated it's claim to Il
general supervision of the inter-
ests Of the party, by issuing an
address calling upon the people
to organize in the several parishes
and to set vigorously to work to
wrest tho affairs of State from the
hands of it's corrupt and wicked
rulers. The address is a very we'll
written and well-conceived docu-
ment, devoted to a rapid review
of the history of Radical rnle in
Louisiana; to some encouraging
illusions to national politics,
wherein the increasing popularity
of Democratic doctrines, and the
certain decline of Republican
strength,are appropriately brought
to the readers attention, and to
such inspiring reflections, in con-
GLIDING, as will, is hoped, arouse
the Indifferent and apathetic to a
confident effort in behalf of the
party. We are glad to see the
address issued, and but for its
length would lay it before our
readers.
A grave bill of charges is brought
against the Republican party and
is thus adroitly and irrefutably
proven by the Central Committee:
There is no brighter light in
the ranks of the Radical party in
this State than Thomas J. Durant,
and in so far as he may he more
candid than his political friends
is his testimony the more conclu-
sive of the truth OF what we have
said. In his letter dated June %,
1870, and addressed to Mr.. j. S.
Soude, speaking Of the Radical
leaders in this State, he says:
s"There must be an absolute
separation from the dishonest and
incompetent men who have ruled
since 1857"
This is strong language, yet it
is surpassed in severity by a Re-
publican address just issued with
the endorsement of the Republi-
can State Central Committee
That address says:
"Citizens and Republicans! At
ter an experience Of Two years,
under the leadership Of the most
dishonest and corrupt set Of politi-
clans that hare erer disgS0ce1 tht
political history Of any Of the States
Of this gl0rius Union, you are now
called upon to rescue the State
from the hands Of the political
adventurers aUho haze brought 1t on
the verge Of bankruptcy"
The Committee urge the selec.
ton Of sstrue and tried men, to the
legislature, to which branch of the
government we must now look
for remedy and relief. This is a
wise suggestion. Great care should
he taken to send none but good
and reliable men to enact laws fol
the State. Beside members of the
legislature, a State Auditor and
State Treasurer are also to be
elected.
The following suggestion in the
Address calls for some comment
from us, in defense of the Democ-
racy of this district. The Com
mittee say:
A Radical Congress has de-
clared that those who cannot take
the test oath, or who labor under
the imposed disabilities, shall not
take seats in that body. We may
not stop to inquire into the policy
or validity of the acts of Con-
gress, experience teaches us to
elect men who are not disquali-
fed. What the State needs is
representation.
The. position here taken con-
flicts with facts, and may be ques-
toned AS to SOundness of nOlicv-
