Terrible news, indeed, is
coming from Paris. The Ma
tional Guard, of that city, have
rebelled against the auth, rity
of the National Convention.
The regular soldiers sent to
suppress them, have fraternized
with them. The Rebels have
taken and shot three Generals,
and, in this bloody work, Carl
baldi is rendering himself in
famous. Will the scenes of
the old French Revolution be
re-enacteds Such is probable.
Will the success that attended
tnc Ola one attend thiS7 There
are fully niDty-nine chances of
failure to one of success.
The movement is but giving
the Germans every chance,
they might desire, to utterly
ruin the French Nation; even
70 go so far as to wipe ont
French Nationality. We veri-
~ believe that such a thing as
common sense does not exist
in a Frenchman's composition.
All their sense or nonsense, is
of the mosr uncommon SORT
They are the most billiant and
the most frivolous people on
earth. A strange anomaly
indeed!

DEATH OF Col. SAM CLARK


DEATH OF Col. SAM CLARK.
We are grieyed TO record the
death of Colonel Sam Clark. OF
this parish, who died at his resi-
dence, on Red River, on last
Wedr rsday. His disease was ap.
oplex.r. and he died in about an
hour after he was taken. He was
buried with Masonic honors, in
the family burial ground, on
Thursday.
In tue death of Col. Clark the
parish and State have suffered a
heavy loss, for he was one of our
oldest, best and most prominent
citizens. He came to the State
about he year 1888, when a young
man. and has lived in this parish
most of the time since he made
Louisiana his home. He filed
several Offices of trust aud honor.
He ser.ved through two terms of
the Legislature, being in the Sen
ate the last time. He was a man
of fine business qualifications and
habits aud spofless integrity. He
was eaterprising, energetic, and
public spirited. Possessed Of a
genial and sympathetic nature
and a roble and generous spirit.
he was held in high esteem hy all
who knew him. He had achieved
the ends of existence, and has left
. bright example behind him.
May be- reap his reward in heay.

If the Democratic party had had
severe and jadicious cri,ics-ifthe
papers which supported it had
protested firmly and uni,edly
against many OF lis fatal and Zero.
cious mcasures-that party might
have retained power much longer.
But its discipline crushed all rs
monst rance. Criticism was re.
garded as alienation or hostility.
The discipline was a terror. Those
who were suspected of being sns-
pecte'l, were su,nlnarily dealt
with; and the party shared the
fate ofall tyrants-it was fatter-
ed, and fell.

DIREtTIoN.-We understand DIR.
A Dui'ericr has employed a sur
veyor to lay his large estate off
into fifty acre tracts, for the pur-
pose cfleasing or selling to small
farmers. This may seem hard to
those who have large plantations
and have never been used to any
thing else but gang labor and ne
gro service; but both sad expe-
rience and common sense plainly
indicate that all the present own

must sooner or later come 10 this.
We have frequently urged this
course Of policy as the only hope
for the future prosperity OF the
country, but we believe that DIR.
Dupe,ier, a gentleman of the larg-
est experience is the first in the
parish that has the nerve to make
the experiment. 1t is to be hoped
that this example will be followed
in rapid succession.-[Nep Iberia

and Will likely SD continue, nm
til tile Commissioners return
from San Domingo, and that
country is admitted or refused
admission into the Union.
We rather think the Democ-
racy have taken a stand against
the Presidents policy in this
regard, simply in order to dis
rupt the Republican party. To
do this, they are coalescing
with the phiianthropic wing of
the Republicans.
Our readers may remember
that in the beginning of this
party, it was composed of two
Very diSsinilar elements, viz:
the phiianthropic amalgama-
tioniStS, of whom Simmer was
The great exponent, and those
who thought niger labor
should not compete with white
labor, of whom Seward usnrp-
ed the leadership, but of whom
Helper was the true exponent.
The Helper side was, by far,
the most numerous and carried
the da, for the party. But the
Summer side have proved the
most cunning, and up to date
have controlled the party. Now
if we shone all over the United
States, like The San, we would
not say what we are going to
say. But being only a little
star, the pole star we think,
we will whisper it in the ear of
the public, that we believe
Grant belongs to the Helper
side. May it not be his policy
to annex the island of Hayti,
in order that our freed people
may go TO that, their Canaan,
thereby preventing amalgama-
ton and competitor in labor
here7 We hope so. We be-
lieve it would be better for
both the whites and the blacks,
that they should live apart
from each other. If Domingo
were to become a black state,
with a full representation of
blacks in Congress, and if the
consequence should be the full
regcognition of the political
equality of all men, the state of
things would be far more ac-
ceptitle to MS than this social
equality, the pretended philan-
thropists are endeavoring to
force on MS.

Over q Million,


The cotton receipts of this port
are already over million of bales,
and the cry is, still they come.
Every boat comes into port loaded
down to the guards, and almost
hidCen from view by the enor.
NOUS piles of bales. Monday
morning there were thirty thou
sanG bales on tie levee, which had
been brought in between Friday
night and Monday. On Sunday
twelve thousand bales were on
hoard of steamboats, nearly the
whole day, waiting for space OIL
the levee TO deposit them. And
from all quarters of the Southwest
come reports of large quantities
awaiting shipment. With all, too,
there remain thousands of acres
unpicked, whitening the fields for
mica. There is not the labor to
pick them, nor would it pay at
present rates. The price of cot
ton now isreduced TO the rates be-
fore tle war and with nearly as
large product. The wonder is
how this was all done with free
labor and the absence of the wo-
men from the fields, and in refu
tatioa of the prophecies and cal
culatiOns of the most sagacious
and farSeeing. The remarkable
favoIableness of the season viii
account for great deal, but not
for al Ofthis immense production.
Much is due TO the newly awaken.
ed enterprise and energy of the
Southern people. 1t is now shown
what our people can do; they
have, however, other qualities aud
virtues 10 practice and cultivate,
10 prevent the effects of over. pro.
ducti1n, to save the losses coase-
qnent upon suddenly reduced pr.
ces. Prominent among these are
thrift aud economy. The waste
and aarelessness on our planta
tons is lamentable. The engross-
ment of the planters in the po,iue.
ton Of this single staple produces
a neg ect of those arts of saving
and management, without which
no industry can be made remu
nerat5ve. 1t is not SO much the
large crops as the high costs at
which they are produced that
makes the cotton product this
year so little remunerstive. To
command and control the markets
OF the world We must bring the
cost reproduction down to a low
er figure. This can be done, and
even ut present prices cotton NAV |
be raised probably throughout |
the South.-IN. o. Times.
