Ey The great political struggle this
year is for majority in the House OF
Of the United States,
to counteract the infamous legislation
of the Radical Senate. The result OF
the recent elections at the North afford
a we'll grounded hope that the Demo-
Gratis will elect good working majori-
ty. But we need every member we
can elect. Shall Louisiana be behind
her sister States7 We have every
reason to believe that all four of the
other districts will elect the Democrat
ic candidates. Will the Fifth district
be wanting on the day Of the election
We do not believe it. Let every Dem
ocratic voter who goes to the polls
remember to vote for Michael Ryan
and he will be elected by large ma
jority. A Radical Congress insuitcd
the district by excluding its regularly
ly elected member. Let the people
resent the insult at the polls on Mon
day next.

- We call attention to the notice in
anot.,er column of the Fair which the
Ladies of St. James Church propose to
hold at Levin's Saloon on the 9th and
10th of November, in aid of the fund
for the rebuilding of their Church ed
itice. Fancy articles will be exposed
for sale and an elegant supper will be
set on each evening. All the friends
of the Church are invited to aid in the
enterprise. The Church building,
which was opened for worship on last
Sunday, bids fair to prove an ornament
to the town, and We are happy to see
that those entrusted with it's cOnstruc-
ton display so much taste as well as
energy and determination. We hope
that the ladies WHO have hitherto met
with much success in their Fairs from
our generous people may be complete
ly successful with their exhibition next
week.

r. When the Radical governor of
Louisiana was waited on by commit
tee of Conservative Citizens who en-
deavored to put a stop to the iniqui-
tous legislation of the Radical party,
the governor admitted that his friends
in the Legislature took brides, but ex-
cused it on the ground that they were
so ignorant as not to know that it was
wrong. He even stated that many at
tempts were made to bride his Excel
lency himself, but intimated that he
had found ready barrier against it in
his superior intelligence. Now we do
not see that the Radicals are making
any efforts to improve on theirlast Leg
islature, and hence we are to conclude
that the next Legislature, if Radical
will be as corrupt as it's predecessor
In this large, wealthy and populous
parish, for instance, they have nomi
mated for the Legislature three me,
who can scarcely read and write. OF
governor Warmoth's theory, what ar
we to expect from them?

r. On Tuesday next occurs the cleo

those States which have not already
held their elections. The indication
are that the Democrats will succeed in
electing a majority of the House OF
Representatives. At the recent elec-
tons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi-
ana, which have 80 Radicals and Is
Democrats in the present Congress, the
Democrats elected one half of the men.

y The weather still continues fine,
clear and pleasant. AS yet the much
needed rain has not made it's appear
ance. The river is still falling steadily
and slowly. Cotton picking still pro-
crossing, the majority of our planters
having not, as yet, stopped to gin or
press single bale. Sugar grinding is
in full blast most everywhere. The
cane is yielding very well; in fact, we
learn that some stubble thus far has
made one and a quarter hogshead to
the acre. We congratulate our sugar
planters on the fair prospects they have
ahead; sorry we cannot express the
same for the cotton planter; the staple
is down, down!

A WRONG IMPRESSION CORRECTED
Many persons believe that there is no
value in anything that does not come
from "the North" How humiliating
However, this impression is being grad
ually corrected. 1t is now admitted
that no remedial Agent has ever been
discovered, North or South, that pos
sesses, in SO eminent degree, the pow
er of eradicating from the system all
foul distemper, as DIR. TUTT's SARsA-
pAkILLA AND QUEENS DELIGHT. The
secret is, 1t assists nature to do this
through its own channels. It is COM
posed of vegetable substances alone,
every one of which grows on Southern
soil. 1t is the BLOOD PURIFIER OF
THE AGE.

~ Let it not be forgotten by the
voters that the important Offices Of
State Treasurer and State Auditor are
to be filled at the election on Monday
next. If we are to have a Democratic

Importance that those who hold the
purse strings of the Government should
be of the right stripe. The Democratic
Candidates are men of known ability

patronage of all the conservative voters
in the State. We confidently predict
large and unprecedented majority
for them.

TT Amid the general corruption
which surrounds American politics. it
is refreshing to meet with an occasion
al streak of honesty, whether it mani
tests itself in Radical or Democrat
ic office holder or Office seeker. Gov
ernor Cox has resigned the Secretary
ship of the Interior and retires from
MIR. Grants Cabinet. Mr.. Grant re
fuses to give to the world the cores
pondence which passed between him
self and his Cabinet Minister on the
occasion, because the correspondence
would show up Mr.. Grant and his Rad
zeal advisers in no very enviable light.
But it has leaked out that the cause of
the resignation lies in the fact that the
Secretary of the Interior considers the
levying of black mail on the poor
clerks at Washington for campaign
purposes too contemp tible for great
political party to stoop to. This opin-
ion is too herctical to be permitted fol
moment; hence the Secretary's head
has to fall into the basket. Governor
Cox, being under forty, is still a Young
man, and as he has undoubted talent
he may yet live long enough to gel
even with his prosecutors.
Mr.. Medill, the able editor Of the
Chicago Tribune, who desired the nom
ination for Congress, has incontinently
withdrawn from the contest. He say!
he cannot resort to the bribery, intri
que and corruption necessary to Obtain
the nomination from Radical Conven
tons as they are now conducted.
If Governor Cox and Mr.. Medill viii
persevere in the upright course the.
have adopted it cannot be long befor'
they both land in the Democratic
party.

A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach
and the brain are too intimately allied
for the one to suffer without the other,
so that dyspepsia and dependency are
inseparable. 1t may be added, too,
that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irratation
of the temper.
The invigorating and tranquliizlng
operation of Hostetter's Bitters is most
powerfully developed in cases OF indi-
gestion. The first effect of this agree
able tonic is comforting and encoura-
ring. A mild glow pervades the sys-
TEN, the chronic uneasiness in the re-
zion of the stomach is lessened, and
the nervous restlessness which charac-
terizes the disease is abated. This
Improvement is not transient. 1t Is
not succeeded by the return Of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as Is
ALWAYS the case when unmedicated
s,imulants are given for the complaint.

there is an overflow of bile the secre-

The effect upon the discharging organs
is equally salutary, and in cases OF
constipation the catLartic action is just
sufficient to produce the desired result
