REPUBLICAN, MEETING IN TENSAS
PARISH.

HOLLY grows TsNsAs PARISH La.
October 5, 1871.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
At large and enthusiastic meeting of
the Republicans Of the upper part of this
parish, held at this place to-day, and pre-
sided over by Ephraim Routh, president of
the Second Ward Colfax Club, addresses
were made by j. Ross Stewart, Samuel
Bland and others, indorsing the State ad-
ministration, and calculating to our colored
feliow-citizens the mercenary purposes, the
'ways that are dark" OF our ex-friends, the
Customhouse people.
The following resolutions, offered by j.
Ross Stewart, and adopted by the meeting,
will indicate that Tensas presents an un-
divided front to the common enemy-the
above named faction and the Democrats:
Resolred, That we most heartily indorse
the action of our chief executive, and call
our friends at home and abroad to witness
that, with greater obstacles to overcome,
Governor WarmOth. by his generous, but
firm policy, has restored Louisiana to sub
stantlal peace and prosperity unequaled by
any other Southern State.
Aes0lred, That We are proud of the fact
that in the late attempt to destroy our party,
not one Of our 1900 voters could be induced
to represent Tensas parish in the Custom
house convention
Resolved. That we denounce all, and will
put down any man or set of men who may
attempt to divide our party. either in the
State, parish or ward.
Resolred, That We indorse our parish ad-
ministration, and while our schoolhouse
stands and money lasts, we never will for.
get Judge Hiram R. Stute. our Republican
leader, who, through five years Of trial and
danger, has proved true to his every pledge
Resolred, That we indorse the State Ex-
ecutive Committee Of which Hon. p. B. S.

Resoired, That the New Orleans REpCB-
LIcAN and the Louisianian be requested to
print the above proceedings.

Red River Mail Contracts.

| The Bulletin had singular editorial yes.
transportation. from which we make this
| extract:
| At present the mails from this city for
| Alexandria. Shreveport and Jefferson are
taken semi-occasionally by boats with which
the agent OF the absentee contractor may
find 1t convenient to make bargains within
the margin to which he is limited. If there
are no offers within that margin there are
no mail departures, for neither contractor
nor agent has boats OF his own. The result
Is that mail correspondence between this
city and Liverpool is about as quick as be-
tween this city and some points up the Red
river, and it is far more regular.
The truth is, that the mails for Jefferson
and Shreveport on account of the low Stag .
Of Red river. have been sent out by the
Racksor railroad to Vicksburg: from thence
via Monroe, they go forward by rail and
stage to their destination. OF this arrange
ment notice was given by the Postmaster
OF New Orleans when it went into effect.
The contractor for the Red river mails.
Dr Peterson, is represented here at the
present time by Mr. William NJ. Surls, of
Common street. 4 contract was made at
one time with Mr.. kouns to carry the Red
river mails at a certain amount for each
trip, but that contract was annulled because
a higher price was demanded than that oh.
tained at the Postoffice Department: and
since then the mails have been regularly
forwarded according to schedule by other
boats. We believe the contract provides
for tri-weekly mail; but whatever the con-
tract demands. whether tri-weekly or semi
weekly. it is executed to the letter By the
agent of Dr. Peterson.
The Red river mails have been conveyed
with all the promptness and regularity that
the low stage Of the river would permit. A
new letting will be arranged between the
Postotfice Department and contractors on
the twentieth instant, and whether the
mail departures be provided tor daily or
trl-weekiy, we believe they will be as they
have heretofore been, unfailing and regu-
lar. So long as these mails are carried
promptly, it makes no difference to the
pubic whether the contractor owns the
boats on which the mails are transported
or the boats belong to other parties. The
difference, IT any, is in favor of him who
makes mail transportation a speciality. and
and has nothing else to attend to.

Its Severity Greater than fer Years.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Attorney
General has dispatch from Northern Mis-
sissippi stating that five Ku-Klux, with dis
guises complete have been captured.
Three-Quarters of q million dollars of
revenue stamps were found safe in the gov
ernment vault at Chicago.
CHICAGO, October II, 1871.
To Hon. G. P. Boutwell,, Secretary Of the Treasury:
The Chicago banks which were saved are
paving every dollar on demand. A good
feeling prevails.
S. r. HURLBURD,
Commissioner of Currency
The following is the official report from
the Bureau of Agriculture:
The cotton returns of October are NO
more favorable than the reports of pre-
ceding months. In no State is the average
of September fully sustained. The general
average of condition in the first week Of the
present month is seventy-six per cent,
against eighty per cent in September. In
some sections in the Mississippi valley and
in Texas improved prospects are reported,
while the prepOnderance of testimony from
the Southwest, as well as ON the Atlantic
coast, favors further reduction of the ex-
pected yield. The percentage of condition
in the several States is as follows: North
Carolina, eighty; South Carolina, seventy
five; Georgia. seventy-twO, Florida, seventy
three; Alabama, seventy-fve; Mississippi,
eeventy-six; Louisiana, seventy three; Texas,
seventy-two; Arkansas, eighty-two; Tennes-
see. ninety-four.
The injuries reported are from rust;
shedding Of bolls prematurely; q sufh-
ciently low temperature to check the de-
velopment of bolls in the more northern
latitudes; floods and inundations in Florida
and Georgia; sprouting or rotting of bolls
from rain; drOuth and insects west Of
Georgia, and the boil and army worms in
portions of Mississippi and the more
Western States.
1t does not appear that the losses from
insects are general or very serious, with
few isolated exceptions. Drouth should be
credited with larger proportion of the de-
precautions than any other assigned cause,
the fact that cotton en-
dures lack Of moisture better than other
crops.
Present indications do not point to a crop
of more than 5000, 900 bales, and if the re-
III aiming season should be unfavOrable for
the development and gathering of the fibre
a smaller result must be expected.
The gale North on Sunday was the most
severe experienced for many years, causing
much loss of property and some loss of life.
The railroad between Halifax and Bed
ford was much damaged. The storm was
most severe in Canada and the Northern
lakes.

A Washington special to the St. Louis

A Washington special to the St. Louis
Republican says:
A statement going the rounds that Major
Hodges was illegally convicted and liable
to be released under the act of Cong of
1867, by writ Of habeas corpus. is utterly
unfounded. The act in question applied
only to paymasters in the navy. and does
not, therefore, cover the case. His attor.
ney has been engaged during the past few
davs in turning over his property here to
indemnify the government SO far as it will
go. As soon as this is completed Hodges
will be removed to the Albany penitentiary
to enter upon his imprisonment.

The Alexandria Democrat saws:

The cotton crop of the parish is being
gathered pretty fast, and from all our means

expectations Take it as whole we doubt
whether it will reach fourth. As for cane.
we will now soon be able to base our calcu
lations as to its yield. Two of our planters

How About the Railroad -?

The above is a question we fire
quently hear asked in our community,
and it is question which we would
all be very glad to answer if we could
answerit to the satisfaction the enquirer.
We can onl y say, thatas we understand
matters, we can have the road within
a reasonable time after we can show
that the inhabitants Of this valley are
willing to take,-as an Investments
$4,000 Of the bonds which are to
bear semi-annual interest, guaranteed
at 7 per cent. Now who says the
security is not good We have heard
no one say so; but on the other
hand our best tinanciers agree that
the security is good We cannot,
however, expect that any one OF two
men can take all the securities in the
market, even though they may be ever
so good, and in this case it is equally
the duty Of every one to come forward,
without urging, and take their share
in proportion to their means, and the
benefit to be received. The question
then arises, who are to be benefited ?
Surely every person in this valley,
either directly or indirectly, some
more and some less.
Town lines will not act to cut off
the benefits of Il Railroad running into
our village. The man who owns a
farm, or is doing business two, three
or five miles from a railroad depot
will receive the same benefit from the
road, whether he is located in the same
town with the depot or an adjoining
town. We say, therefore, every man
in this valley is to be benefited by the
road, and should not only be willing,
but desirous Of taking his share ofthe
bonds, and that too without the com
mittee having the matter in charge
being compelled to spend days and
weeks oftime, in securing the requisite
We understand from the committee
that in most cases our citizens have
come up monJully, and in some cases,
if we may be allowed the expression,
,oomanly, and shown that they fully
the expediency Of the enter
prise, and the soundness of the security.
On the other hand, others appear to
hold off, while they admit both the
necessity of the road and the sound
ness of the bonds. Why not come up
at once, one and all, and do your duty,
and secure the road, and receive its
benefits mutually. We have heard it
intimated that there would hereafter
be a Railroad party in this town, and
those who are not for the enterprise,
and show their zeal by their works.
may, when it is too late, learn their
mistake. We therefore repeat, come
up one and all at once, and enable us
at an early day to say the bonds are
all taken, and the road will soon be in
operation.
