4 Chapter of Facts.

Space is valuable in n newspaper, and it is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to
condense Il variety of facts, important to the
public, into small compass. Those facts
refer to Hostctter's Stomach Bitters-What
that celebrated medicine is, and what it will
do. In the first place, then, the article is a
stimulant, tonic and Alternative, consisting
of a combination of an absolutely pure spir-
itous agent with the most valuable medici-
nal vegetable substances that Botanic re-
search has placed at the disposal of the
chemist and the physician. These ingredi-
ents are compounded with great care, and
in such proportions as to produce preparss-
ton which invigorates without exciting the
general system, and tones, regulates and
controls the stomach, the bowels, the liver,
and the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must
be gathered from what it has done. The
case of dispensia, any other form of indi-
gestion, in which it has been persistcntly
administered without effecting radical
cure, is yet to be heard from, and the same
may be said of bilious disorders, intermit-
tent fever, nervous affections, general debl-
ity, constipation, sick headache, mental dis
abilities to which the feeble are so subject.
1t purifies all the fluids of the body, incIud-
ing the blood, and the gentle stimulus which
it imparts to the nervous system is not
succeeded by the slightest reaction. This
is 4 chapter of facts which readers, for theii
own sakes, should mark and remember.

The prospect ofirresponsiblec city gov
eminent and the conviction that our
colored citizens, regardless of the little
interest they have in such government,
intend nevertheless to acquire, if pos
sible, the keeping of the interests of our
city, involving, as it is believed from
manifest indications, the very dearest
and most sacred attractions of life
this prospect has aroused II deep feel
ing in our city with nearly all the bet
ter inhabitants within its limits. On
Wednesday the following poster APP
peared upon our streets:

Business Men Of yicksburs.

Nothing so surely tends to increase
the population and commerce of Il town
or city us liberal, energetic, and indus
trious business men. To the activity
and liberality of this class of citizens
forty-nine out of every fifty thriving
towns and cities in the country, owe
their prosperity and progress. This is
the lack of such men has kept New
Orleans from being the second city in
the Union.
Among the cities ofthe South,
Ficksburg may justly claim the palm
for thorougll-going grocers and 1ner-
chants. They are real live, plucky
gentlemen, who have faith in their
destiny and that of Nicksburg, and
with unerring sagacity make liberal
expenditures to secure the potent agen-
Of their city. They never suffer the
public interest in Nicksburg to be les
sened, even in duh times, but constant
ly advertise its advantages and f,cili-
ties to the country, and thus keep the
trade flowing in upon them. Look at
our columns, and see the evidence of
the fact we have Observation-Disclosures
burg is actally outbidding Monroe for
its own trade, and once the tide of
+rrss;:'cl tt::;rlv sets eastward we warn our
merchants that unless they :;i:t;-C improve
their ways, Vicksburg will turn them
down. Boldness and enterprise in
business seldom fail, with proper econ
omy, to secure success, and this is what
Nicksburg appears to be keeping in
view, and from which our little city
may yet seriously suffer.

There has been no rain for three DAYS
and we incline TO the belief that the
heavy rains are over. The crops on the
Ouachita, however, have been seriously
damaged-more than any year since
the war. Nothing like a full crop of
now, even if there should be no cater
pillars. The corn crop will also be
quite short.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1871-06-10

Promptly at the hour-more prompt
ly than at any public meeting we have
ever attended in Monroe-a large num-
Der of white citizens gathered ut the
place designated. The number present
included the largest number of working
men we have yet had the pleasure of
meeting, all of whom appeared deeply
interested.
The resolutions adopted and speeches
made We're characterized by prudence
and moderation, but with sufficient
tirmness to show that the men who
were assembled upon the occasion were
awake to their interest and duty and
were resolutely bent upon protecting
the one and discharging the other. We
congratulate the country ut large that
the white people of Monroe are almost
a unit in their support of a policy and
principles calculated to bring about a
righteous reform in our State, and that
hcncefOrth they mean work and tideli-
ty. We have heard more than one
leading "Conservative" surrender his
belief in Il middle course in politics, it
having been clearly demonstrated with
us that Independence, tirmness and
courage are the surest harbingers of pro-
lection, peace and victory. And this
reformation has been quietly accom-
plished by the stern logic of unmistak-
able E,cts-by repeated failures at con-
Citation, and by the Indifference and
even contempt shown for the advice of
the best men of the country and for the
most substantial interests of society, by
those very men who ought to be the
readiest to heed and act upon such
weighty considerations.

Some fears are entertained by the
citizens of Nicksburg that the Missis-
sippi river will leave the Hill City
high and dry. Some scientific gentle
man, however, has given them encour-
agemcnt to believe that it can be stop
ped by breakcwater movements. Sci
ence is Il wonderful power, and we
hope in this ease will prove successful,
as we would gricvc to see our neighbOr
left out in the cold.

LAND SALES.
OUACIIITA RIVER PLANTATIONS
FOR SALE.

THE undersigned offers for sale two plan
Il tations situated on the Ouachita river, in
the parish of Caldwell.
One tract contains ia acres, 40 of which
is IN good state of cultivation, and so 90
acres deadened; lies high, and 100 acres can
be levied with very small ievee; situated
3 miles below Columbia on the Ouachita
river. Can be bought at $50 per acre.
The second plantation lies on the Ouachita
river, miles below Columbia; contains
39I 5o-lOo acres; near 200 acres in good
state OF cultivation; l20 acres levied in ::
ana II would cost n mere tritle to levee in so
acres more. This place can be bought at S35

There is sound wisdom in requiring
longer residence than ten days in a
town or city to qualify a voter to vote
at a municipal election. Take Monroe,
or Trenton, for example, where there
are a number of large plantations near
by. Suppose ten days prior to mu-
nicipal election the laborers upon these
plantations move their lodgings to town
and claim thcreupon the right to vote
at said election. The rulings adopted
here on Monday would give them that
privilege unquestionably, and the re-
suit of their voting might be the cleo
ton of Il Council from among them
selves whose acts under our present
charter might absolutely bankrupt the
town in a single twe1ve-months. No
good citizen can possibly approve of a
regulation which would thus destroy
the true ends and aims of all govern
ment.

We heard citizen of Trenton assert
a few days ago that if the Mississippi
had been as full ten days ago as it was
six weeks ago, Trenton would have
been overlooked foot or more by the
Ouachita. We believe the Ouachita in
such a contingency, would have been
higher than it has been known to be for
fifty years. All that prevented Il most
disastrous overflow of our river was the
low stage of the Mississippi. But this
need excite no alarm; fifty years may
pass before such high water in the Qua
chita will be seen again.

We should deeply deplore the result
of the city election on Monday, if we
believed the Council then illegally
elected would ever come into power
But the legal means to defeat that re-
suit arc abundant, and we think all
sufficient to save our little city, it's
property, tiresidcs and bright prospects
from such an untowarl fate. And we
believe that every right-thinl>ing citi-
zen of Monroe will rejoice with us in
the fact that the old City Council have
resolved not to surrender the archives
and property of the town until COM
PEELED to do so by decree of the court of
final result. The mistake Of Super
visor Grady in requiring only IL ten
ing clause of the old charter in full
force, three months residence is re-
quircd, must inevitably annull the
election of Monday, when the question
is fairly tested, which will afford to
tardy and negligent citizens who did
not register, the opportunity ut II new
election OF atoning for their neglect in
not being prepared to vote on Monday
There can be no doubt if such citizens
will qualify and voters are restricted to
legal qualifications, the city of Monroe
will have a good municipal govern
ment.
