SAD AFFIICTIoN.- Seldom, indeed,
does it fall to our lot to chronicle an
event OF greater sorrow than that which
wo ore about to pen. The ruthless hand
of death has been laid heavily upon the
family of MIR. August Reckling. OF this
oity. Two years ago, last month. Mrs.
A. Reckling was called to her final abode.
The wound then inflicted upon the
hearts Of the surviving members OF the
family, time has not healed. There was
left ones however, upon whom fell the
mantle of the mother; one who was the
guide md comforter of father, brothers
and sisters-Miss Augusta; but, few
short weeks ago tho angel of death oRlled
her away. Then did it seem that the
cup of bitterness had overlooked; but
there was still further sorrow in store for
that weeping household. On yesterday
morning, Miss Sophia. after sovere ILL
ness, OF not quito two weeks duration,
departed this life. The family have tho
sympathy Of largo circle of friends
and acquaintances in this community;
and have the consolation that 'earth has
no sorrow that Heaven cunnot heal"

THE MISSOURI WEEKLY RE
VIEW.

Professor o. L. G. Hughes has
Just started a newspaper in st. Lou
is, Of the above name. The want
of an acknowledged organ OF the
colo-ed people Of Missouri seems
to have pressed itself SO forcibly on
the mind Of Mr.. Hughes that he re-
solved to establish a newspaper,
through the columns of which then
interests might specially be advoca-
ted. The salutatory possesses the
undoubted soundness which COM
mends it to our admiration:
"Being opposed to selishness
under any cover whatever, or any
thing in its nature or operations cal
culated to foster distinctions based
upon race or color, we shall aim to
pursue a course as broad as the
country itself, and to make full,
fair and faithful discussion on ques-
tons relating to the welfare and
consequent happiness and prosperi-
ty of the whole people. But the
Eissoul Weekly Recielc, exceptional
only as their representative, will
render its columns at all times open

PREPARE TO ROTATE"

q. s. Marshal Packard says, the
Federal officials who most do con-
gregate at the Customhouse, are
simply anxious to control our party
organization that they may give the
electoral vote of Louisiana to Presi-
dent Grant in ~, and thus retain
their offices. Every Republican in
the State wants Grant reelected,
and we know Of a large number Of
intelligent and able colored men
who have the power and the will to
carry this State for him; yet they
have never been convinced that
there is notsome justice in the doc
trine of rotation in Office" i'll GER

RULE OR RUIN.

Mr.. S. B. Packard, Chairman OF
the State Central Committee, and O
declared candidate for reelection
to that responsible position in our
party, made speech to Repubi-
can meeting in Algiers on Monday
night last, and said:
IF State ofiice-holders, or friends
Of Governor Warmoth, get control
of the State Central Committee,
there is great danger Of a new par
ty-a Christian Republican Associ-
alton or something else of the kind
-springing up and dividing the
Republican party" I
The natural inference, and the
only one, to be deduced from the
foregoing language of Mr.. Packard
is, that he is willing to bolt and set
up new party if he and those who
cooperate with him, cahnot con-
troll the existing Radical. organiza-
ton. Let the people ponder this
well. Let them bear in mind that
no man OF clique who have so ia
miliarized their minds with the idea
of party treason as to thus boldly
mint at it, are fit longer to be trust
ed in power. With the guidance and
welfare of our party in such hands
we are standing upon a mine, which
at any moment may explode and
destroy those grand results which
have cost years of toll and sacrifice
and rivers of blood to attain. Will
you, Republicans, risk your happi-
ness and prosperity to crafty the
lust OF power Of selfish politicians ?
Never never! The answer will
next month come in thunder tones,
and the rule or ruin faction be
told to bolt, and be - happyl"
