DEAR HERALD:
AS Ipen these few hastily written
lines, the thermometer certainly
ranges somewhere in the neigh
borhood OF ninety degrees, Not.
withstanding that We have been
visited with refreshing showers
at intervals during the past week

with q warm zeal. The crops in
this vicinity are progressing finely,
and it will not be many days now,
before the cotton gins are put in
operation. or corn / can say no.
thing; from all appearances, there
will not be enough corn raised in
this and adjoining parishes to sup.
ply the home demand, which is to
be greatly regretted. From all in.
dications we will feel the need OF
corn seriously before another
season comes and goes. The
cotton crops, as | have been in
formed by parties who know where.
of they speak, were never more
promising since 1862, which you
will remember, was an unusually
good season all over the South.
Unless the trouble with our Euro.
pean friends on the other side oil
the Atlantic, and an over produc.
ton Of the staple cause a decline
in price, our planters will make q
good thing Oft this season.
am glad that l have the oppor-
tunity in this communication, to
speak Of something that is of mo.
mentous interest to your city. 1t
is the completion Of the North
Louisiana and Texas Railroad
from this place to Monroe, to
which / have reference. Although
but a few weeks have elapsed
since its completion, there is al.
ready an immense amount of bust.
ness being transacted by this
company. This road will add
greatly to the wealth of Vicks.
burg, if the business men of your
city take the proper steps to Sc.
cure the trade of the rich and fer.
tile country through which the
road passes. Permit me, Mr..
Editor, in this connection, to
call the attention of the mer-
chants and BUSINESS men gener-
ally Of your city, to the fact that
St. Louis is working with energy
to get the trade OF the parishes of
North Louisiana; and to which
end it is currently reported the
merchants of that city will imme.
diately run q line Of packets from
the eastern terminus of the North
Louisiana and Texas Railroad to
st. Louis" and thus build up for
themselves a trade Of incalculable
value, which justly and naturally
belongsto Vicksburg. Drummers
and agents representing St. Louis
houses are as numerous in this and
adjoining parishes as grasshoppers
in a grassy season, and it is inter
esting to see the liberal manner
with which they deal with print
ers' ink. They advertise almost
as extensively as "Koskoo," or
any other man.
These are matters, Mr.. Editor,
that should be considered immedi.
ately by the merchants of your
city, unless they are determined to
be outdone by st. Louis and other
rival cities on the Mississippi
river. Prompt and energetic ac-
ton is needed, and unless that is
soon made manifest, by those who
are concerned, the trade Of North
Louisiana will be lost to VicksburC
forever.

The COIncIdenIs of Dates aud
Events.


In 1907 France was at war with
Prussia. In 1870 which embraces
the same figures reversed, there
are again hostilities between them
In 1856 there was also war be.
tween the same powers, in which
France sustained a severe defeat.
just fifty years after that event,
1906, Prussia was Inundated, yea,
more than that, almost DESTROYED,
by the disastrous double battle of
Jena and Austerdat. In COM
menting upon that event, the En-
glish historian, Alison, whose
sympathies were with Prussia,
says: "Such were the disastrous
battles of Jena and Austerdat,
which Frustrated the strength of
the Prussian monarchy, and in one
day effected that which all the
might of Russia, Austria and
France had been unable to effect
in the seven years war from 1855
to 1888" Curiously enough, sixty
years from that time, in 1866,
Prussia was raised to the height
Of power by the extraordinary re-
suits ofthe battle Of Sadowa.
In 1906 the Russian power re-
ceived a crushing defeat In tho
great battle of Austerlitz, in which
three Emperors we're present, viz:
The Emperors Of France, Russia
and Austria, The forces Of the
two latter were united, but four

ting Of the Legislature was pro-
traeted, much important legislation
vas neglected. To a very great
extent this body vas devoted to
the passage Of indiyidual schemes +;
it legislated almost solely in the
interests Of corporations, and in
most instances its own members
we're the parties in the many char
tered projects to which it gave
sanction. When not engaged in
this species of legislation, it was
confined to partisan plans for the
advancement Of the Radical party.
In this class Of legislation none
was more odious, unnatural and
unjust than the Printing Bill, in
the vetOing Of which Governor AL.
corn rose superior to party and
exhibited o irmness and an indie
pendence scarcely be to anticipated
from one situated as he is. The
party walls of wrath were poured
layishly upon his devoted head
when he crushed the Ubiquitous
General Railroad Act, and it was
thought this act had 80 estranged
his party from him as to leave him
almost Invested of its confidence
and support. But this was not a
measure in which the party at large
was interested. 1t was one to
which the corrupt members of the
Legislature were pledged through
purchase and bribery. The party
at large was not committed to it,
and hence no general dissatisfac.
ton was expressed outside the
Legislature, Yet there was such
manifest evidence of mutiny in
the Legislature that many feared
the Governor was not endowed
with sufficient moral courage to
defy both the Legislature and the
party in the action which he took
with reference to the printing bill.
Curses deep and bitter against him
wrung out from every side. Radical
organs from deifying him instantly
changed fronts him
the severest TRADE of abuse. He
was, with them, no longer the i'm
maculate and pure statesman, but
in q few short hours he was shown
to be a party traitor, deserving of
the most cruel punishment. The
fierce Times and Republican, of
this city, could not contain itself,
but absolutely boiled over in its
Indignation. The Governor was
accused Of Johnsonizing the party.
In fact, there was no charge too
outrages to be brought against
him. He was the centre figure Of
an avalanche of abuse and villii-
cation; yet he survived it all. And
as an evidence that it is his party
and not himself which is losing
power, neither of these measures
was passed over his veto. He has
begun the battle with the corrupt
est wing Of his party, and it now
seems as if he was about to crush
it. He has learned them some
wholesome lessons, and when they
come together in January, we pre-.
dict he will have them reduced to
q state of docility and obedience
surprising when it is known OF
what material this body is COM
posed. BY many, it is thought
Governor Alcorn is vacillating and
undecided, but it now appears as
if he has adopted the true plan OF
strategy. He has caused his
party both to fear and respect
him.

From the Chicago Republican. I

A REPUBLICAN OPINIon OF GRANr.-It
has been no uncommon thing for party
organs in the United States to accuse
Presidents of their own party of party Of
fences. untruth to the party principles. or
unfaithfulness to their actual or implied
pledges in respect to individuals or poll
cy. 1t is tie common fate of acceding
Vie Presidents to suffer under accusations
Of party perfdy in general. accompanied.
for the sake of emphasis. with suggestions
Of official malfeasance But the official
career Of General Grant presents a case
that is peculiar. He stands charged not
so much with unfaithfulness to his party
as official misconduct and personal mean
ness; and these charges are SO well es-
tablished, so universally believed and SO
freely enlarged upon, that the organs of
of his own party even, which speak in his
favor or attempt his vindication, are the
exception No American President, ia
king for it the testimony of the Republi-
can press, w.s ever more thoroughly dcs-
pissed or deserved it better than the one
who now dishonors the highest place in
the gift of the people by his tenancy.

TnE LoSAL LxAorrs.-T'nder the cap
ton OF Lessons Of he Recent Election,
We took occasion in cur last issue to nd
wise our people to adopt policy Of gen.
erous forbearsnee towards the blacks Of
our county to overlook their hottie ac-
ton at the November erection and to let
byc-goncs be bye-goncs. We then said
nothing that we now wish to qualify or
take back. On the contrary. . deeper
and wider reflection has but tended to con-
firm the justaess and wisdom Of our origi-
nal counsels. Il Is only persistent pro-
scription that should be prescribed-it 10
only oath bound Leagues. drawing their
inspiration from secret midnight conclsvcs
in Washington and other places and va
ging war against men because they have
been once slave and are now land owners,
that we would denounce and outlaw. We
arc only for prescribing proscription-only
for exposing. denouncing and affecting a
secret. malignant and dangerous organi-
zasion. engineered BY selfish outsiders and
BY sinister insidcrs-and not for waring
upon mere differences Of political opinion.
Let black men make themselves familiar
with this distinction and disrupt their
fellowship with the Leagues. if they really
desire to continue in neighborly commu-
MON with their old friends. tits in the
very nature Of things that a marked Dis
tinction should soon be made Nv the capi.
talist and the land owner betw zen the

League and the man who Knows it not, or
knowing il. has washed lis HANDS Of it
Apart from the revelations that have been
made in regard to tie League by truthful
and responsible r,en, of both colors, who
have been formerly connected with it, are
not the acknowledged facts, that it is po-
litica1 association. that it's deliberations are
covered up BY night and secrecy. that its
written communications are carried on in
cypher. that it has secret pass words. that
its members make themselves known to
each other by grips and converse by signs.
and that they vote without open inquiry
and in solid column. sufficient to condemn
it rs dishonest of aim and un-American in
character? Let us have peace and let all
the recent election scores be spungcd out
and forgotten. This is our motto. but it
is motto that We neither adopt ourselves
nor expect our friends to adopt without
slight qualification. The loyal League
connection must be given up. This is an
imperative condition precedent. Nor is
it an unreasonable requirement. Our peo-
pie and the League understand one an
other and are bitter enemies, nor is there
the slightest prospect of their ever being
otherwise. Those. therefore, who are for
the League are against US and rice rersa.
