Several changes have been made in the Radical
programme hereabouts during the week. c. c. Antoine,
Independent candidate for Congress, has withdrawn,
leaving the field to Gen. McCleery as the only oppo.
nent Of Judge Ryan. Charles Leroy has followed suit
for the Senatorial race, and the contest is narrowed
down to the regular nominees of the two parties. In
this parish it is understood that Mr. Woodward lately
appointed Clerk of the District Court, has signed bis
addiction totake effect lst November next, and
that Mr. ]. j. Bossier viii be appointed to fill that
Office In consideration thereof Bossier wthdraws as
the candidate for Parish Judge, dropping his mantle
upon Mr.. Henry c. Myers, who takes the field as the
champion of the Radical party for the Parish Judge
ship. Other changes are talked of but nothing has
been definitely fixed upon. Na;chitoches Times

Sri. B. Cable has written, under date OF 29th

is the Internal Revenue Tax return sizes con-
inued after October lst, 1870? Do bank cocks re-
quire stamps if under hundred dollars, do they
require stamps at all
Do receipts given for sums OF money paid require

LowNER's DoG.-A Cincinnati correspondent OF the
New York Evening Mail, giving an account OF trip
from that city st. Louis, says OF station on the
way:
Here saw Lowner, and was introduced to Lowners
dog Lowner was little, shock haired, pug nosed,
dark commissioned, little eyed Hoosier, and his dog
was a fit companion for him. more dsreputahle,
NANCY looking cur don't think ever saw. Lowner
turned to me as had comfortably located my

| acquiesced at once.
Well, now, Mstur, that 'eres the spryest purP in

OF course was property astonished and asked what
he could do.
well stranger, that's Lowners dog" said he and
he's spry, you bet Look a-here." He caught lily,
put it on the dogs nose, let 90 the fly, and before the
insect could escape. the quadruped had deVourcd It,

'0h he's SCUM flies, you jest bet, said LoWner
Il + Try yourself, misttT, hauded HJ
To oblige Lowner, put the fly on Lowner's dogs
nose but Lowners dog was spry, for, before could
remove my fingers, the dog masticating them.
However, finding they fingers and not flies, he
treated them mildly. Lowner laughed vigorously, and
remarked
"Now, I say, Mister, amt Lowners dog spry?

Port Of Entry Matters.

The Courier directs attention to
the meeting of Cincinnati BUSH ess
men on Tuesday, in regard to having
that city made a port of entry, and
asks what has become of the Com
mittee appointed to look after the
same subject for Evansville. The ed
itor ought to know that Cincinnati is
lust now doing what the business
men of Evansville attended to three
months ago. The statistics and rea-
sons upon which our importers and
business men rely for securing Ev-
ansyille in the list of ports Of entry
(if any are created in the West) have
already been prepared and submitted
to the Treasury Department, and are
also in the hands of our Representa-
tives and Senators in Congress.
The majority of the Committee
appointed by the business men and
City Council have already visited
Washington City and conferred with
the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Congressional Committee on
Commerce. and have received the
assurance of the Committee and our
Indiana delegation that our interests
will, as far as possible, be regarded.
Mr.. INGLE, a member of the Com
mittee, is now in Washington, and
will do all he can to secure favorable
action for US.
AS already stated, there is much
objection on the part of the Treasury
Department to creating ports of entry
away from the seabOard. and it is very
doubtful whether any bill on the
subject can pass Congress. If it does
and any city of the second class is
included, we think Evansville will be
among them.

THE Indianapolis correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette thinks the con-
test for the nomination for Congress
by the Democrats Of this District
will be between Judge NIBLACK and
Judge PARRETT, with the chances in
favor Of the former. He thinks the
bringing forward of Judge PARRETT's
name in connection with the Supreme
Court, at the last Democratic State
Convention, was only a ruse to aid
him in the struggle for the Congress
sional nomination.

A SINGLE deviation on the part of
the JOURNAL from long established
rule, not to interfere in any way with
Court trials, either before or after the
verdiets are given, other than by a
simple recitation Of the facts, prob
ably merited the rebuke administered
by the Courier Of yesterday, whose
rule of action IN this respect has gen.
orally been the opposite of our own.
Nor will we overlook the severity of
the rebuke in our admiration of the
modesty of the paper which gives it.

Bogus Friends OF the COlored voters

Bogus Friends or the COIored Voters.
We do not doubt that the Evans
vile Courier desires to have the new
ly-made colored voters vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, and that it will exer-
else all its ingenuity to persuade
them that it is to their interests to
do so. The Coarier of this city, and
the New Albany Ledger both see
eve to eye on this question, and are
laboring hard to bring their party up
70 their stand point. But their infu-
ence does not seem to be very decided.
The party cannot turn political
corner with the same rapidly and
ease which characterized the move
ments of these papers on this ques-
tion, and passes on in the old beaten
track of hostility to the negro
and opposition to his exercise
of the right of suffrage. This is evil
dent from the passage of the resolu-
ton by the last Democratic State Con
vention, declaring unalterable oppo-
sition to the ratification Of the Eff
teenth Amendment" 1t is curious
to see papers urging colored voters to
sustain the nominees of a party which
declares its unalterable opposition to
the ratification of the organic law by
which alone they can vote at all; yet
50 we have it. We do not think the
colored voters are SO stupid as not
. be able to see the Inconsistency.

MACK" the " pesky little Orange
man of the Enquirer "-as the Cincin-
natl Commercial crabbedly calls him
denies that he had anything to do
personally with the so-called Reform
movement in Hamilton County,
Ohio. He says the whole thing was
dictated by dispatch from head
quarters at Columbus, in the follow
ing words:
"If you don't carry the Reform
movement we are lost. Neutralize
the vote of Hamilton County in the
Legislature, and a0e can defeat the
amendment"
This was not all. From other
parts of the State" says he, the
same advises came - and the same
promise; that is, the distinct pledge
that if we could keep Hamilton Coun-
ty from sending a Radical delegation
to the Legislature, the amendment
mould be defeated, and that the only
way to do this was to fuse with dis
eontented Republicans" So the Re
form movement was for the purpose
Of defeating the ratification of the
amendment. MACK is a clever fell
low, and we thank him for the con-
fession that the Democracy Of Ohio
went to Hamilton County for wool
and got shorn.
