Radical Splits.

The Radicals of this parish are not
alone in their division of the party.
In the Senatorial district Immediately
east of this, the Rev. Curtis Pollard
heads an independent boiling organi-
cation, Gas candidate for Senator
which includes nearly all the colored
Radicals of Madison and many belong
ing to Carroll parish. The district j ust
below, also "cnjoys' a Radical split Of
similar character. In Caddo parish
there is considerable disatfection -
which is Of no consequence, as Toots
would say, since the Democrats have
the first mortgage upon that parish.
There is likewise small rcbellions in
.DcSoto. Grant, Natchitoches, West
Fcliciana and other parishes below,
headed by ambitious and aspiring men
who are tired of being made tools of.
trict is in Il general stew, with a Gen.
McCleery heading one faction, and G.
G.. Antoine, Il colored politician, head
ing the other, both being candidates
for Congress. In New Orleans, the
christian Republican Association, I'M
der the ministrations of House Chap
lain Chas. Satchell, colored, has re-
ibellcd openly and defantly, by placing
their own candidates in the field and
by severe dcnuncia tons Of hcWarmoth
dynasty.
This looks decidedly cheerful for the
Democrats, and for honest, thorough
reform. No party has ever had, or can
ever have again, such an excellent OPP
|portunity to bring itself into power as
that now presented to the Democrats.
Irhey have only to will victory in
November, and, like Southern men, go
| to work to win, and the day will be
theirs beyond pcradventure. But this
|lukewarmncss and sluggishncss must
first be removed. Old-time leaders of
the people, what are yom doing in this

Is,aependent Candidates.

One of the people and wearing the col
lar of no party, we desire to say word
about independent candidates. especial
ly independent candidates for the lcgis-
lature; and that's simply to condemn
.unequivocally the course of all such can
.didntes. We care not if the nominee Of
the Democracy have his failings; or if
he has been nominated without due re
gard to the claims of othcrs,-it makes
no difference; no'goOd citizen ought to
oppose such nominee, if by so doing
he in the least increases the chances
for the election of 4 Radical. He may
not like the Democrat; he cannot like
the Radical, and it is his duty to defeat
him. The people want reforma ton
in their Statc-cvery material interest,
honor, society, religion, education and
every conceivable worthy incentive,
|E.ll demand it. Private ambition and
personal grievances ought to be merged
in the higher, noblcr and holicr cause
! of redeemed, discnthralled State; and
men should exercise their right Of suf-
fragc to accomplish that end, solely
and exclusively. If we should do aught
to help elect Radical, we should feel
we had done wrong the remainder of
our life, however small might be the
lcgree Of confidence we had in the
Democratic party.
We appeal to our fcllow-citizens to
view this matter dispassionately. Let
them not undcrvaluc the importance
/ of this struggle. In Democratic sue
cess, they have a direct, immediate
and personal interest. We beg them
to register, to work for the Democrat tic
ticket and to be active at the polls on
| the 7th Of November. The time is
short-only three wccks-and nearly
lll the work of the campaign is still tc
be done. Let us get about it at once

Secret Circular OF the Supervisor Of Reg
istratiOn.

The following is a verbatim copy OF
/, secret circular issued by the Super
visor of Registration of this parish, the
original having been obtained from a
|colored voter.
Three things are prominently notice
able in this circular. First, vote the
Republican ticket; second, vote at
Monroe, and third, (by implication,) if
the voter does not vote for the Repub-
|licans he will lose his citizenship, free
dom and liberties. This is the advice
given by an officer of the government,
paid by the people.
Democrats, you see the dishonest
tactics of your enemy. You cannot be
Ignorant of what is at stake; or Of the
wrongs men like this Registrar, placed
in power by your supincncss, will in
hict upon you. You sec your duty
will you do it?
This is the circular,-or rather gen.
eral order, for it is issued ctAcialy:
MONROE, La, October l, 1870.
First. Let every man register al
Monroe. The office is at the Court
house, and will be open until October
%, 1870.
Second. Let every man vote the
straight Republican ticket.
Third. Every man can vote at Mon
roe, if he chooses-that is, every mar
who lives in Ouachita parish.
Fourth. If you do as directed above
your citizenship is secured and will be
maintained You will continue to b.
the freemen that you are now; YOU
liberties will be yours forever, same Il:
they are now G. G. JON Els,
Supervisor Of Regisfyution.

If this Radical bombast about over
hooking the darkics in selecting candi-
dates for Office, be genuine, why, rs
these same darkics do ninety hun
Hrcths of the voting, do not the white
Radicals give them all the Offices in the
parish, instead of one out Of four? Why
do these same white gentry always
choose one of their number for the best
office and as IL leader?

May, following, Virginia linked her
fortunes to those Of the Confederacy.
President Davis ordered Gen. Lee to
retain his command, until the Confed
crate forces were organized; and on
the assembling of the Provisional
congress-, the rank of General in the
confederate army was conferred upon
Gen. Lee.
In the Spring of 1862, the Confeder-
late cause having suffered many disas-
tiers, a desire was everywhere manifested
for the command of the Confederate
forces to be placed in the hands of one
man. This responsible, trying and ar
duous duty fell to the lot of Gen. Lee, ]
who was made Chief, ]
subject to the Presidents directions
A new life seemed to be impaired toI
the Confederate armies. After the
wounding of Gen. johnson, ut the bat
tile of Seven Pines, Gen. Lee took COM
mand of the Army Of Northern Virgin
la. This was on the 3rd of June, 1862.
Putting the army in an effective con-
dition, he had on the Goth of June, un-
der his command, over seventy thou
sand men.
The history of the Seven Days fight,
and retreat of Mcclellan, are matters
we'll known. Mechanicsville, Cold
Harbor, Frazier's Farm, and Malvern
Hill all attest the vigor and efficiency
of the Confederate army and the skill
of its Commander. The subsequent and
glorious achievements Of Gen. Lees 3
army need not to be rccited-they are|
fresh in the minds of our readers, ]
many Of whom followed "MAs Bob
Through all his success, from the hour
he took command, until he laid down
his sword at Appomattox.
Alas! how soon are we called upoEl
to record the death of him whose pres
ence linked us so closely to the past !!
Gen. Lee! He was, but is on earth
no more! Gone to his reward, follow
ing that mighty host of braves who
have gone on before, and to commune
with such spirits as Sydney johnson,
Stuart and that greatest of all our
great soldiers, Stonewall Jackson !!

Thousand times braved death to serve

and his usefulness, from friends such
as man never had, and from world

berance of your glorious deeds, your
patience, fidelity, meekness and cour-

Candidates for the Legislature.

The Democracy of Rapides put forth
strong ticket for the legislature, viz !
VIM. A. Seay, d. G. Paul and G. W..
Stafford. Messrs. Seay and Stafford
we know to be simon-pure Democrats.
The latter is the son of our lamented
friend and old comrade, Gen. Stafford.
Messrs. J. O.Wemple and J. Wagner,
nominees for the legislature, are the
standard bearers of the Democracy of
DeSoto parish.
Claiborne parish has wisely settled
upon u legislative ticket. The nomi-
nees are Capt. Jas. Meadows, talented
young man, and MIR. Sidney Killeen, a
planter near Mindcn.
The Democrats of Jackson parish
will nominate candidate for the leg
islature, we understand, on the 22ndl
inst. This is right. Let the Conven-|
ton select IA reliable, honest, working
man, and the people will elect him.
Brilliant talents, or intellectual finish
are not near so important as tact and
fidelity.
DR.. C. @. Butler, and w. j. Slaton,
Esq, are the Democratic candidates
for the legislature in Bienville, both
good and fair men and staunch Demo-
Gratis.
In the Claiborne district, Capt. S. MI
Thomas, of Bossier, is the Democratic
nominee for Senator. His election isl
quite certain. The Bossier people have
House.
Mr.. 3. w. Baker is the Democratic
nominee for Representative in the par
|ish of Franklin, which secures his
election.
In Caldwell, the Democrats have
Nominated p. X. Smith, Esq, Il young
|man of energy and talent, and we'll
Qualified for the place. Beside his own
strong claims, he has the merit of Cpl
posing Capt. Faulkner, the swearist,
who is as little fit to make laws as any
man in the State.
S. S. Bowman, Esq, is likely to bel
the Democratic candidate for the State
Senate in the Catahoula district. Thel
Era saws no better man for that officeI
can be found.
We do not see that the Democrats of
either Carroll, Madison, Tensas or Con-
cordia are making any fight for menu
bers of the legislature. Nor do we asI
yet hear of any Democratic candidate
ror the Senate in the Morehousc and
Carroll district. This ought not to be.
The Democrats of Union have un-
wisely decided not to nominate II cam
lidate for the Legislature. We be-.
hem to reconsider the step, and unite
lpon some good man.
We have already announced the nom
nation of Col Hoffman by the Demo-
rats of Morehouse. He is opposed by
Conservative who appears to please
ne Radicals first-ratc; but Col. IL. will
eat him all-hollow.
Thus, we find nearly all of North
louisiana in line, and ready to bring
D her corner of the Democratic cabin.
