Sugar Wesley Re.Enters Private Life.


Mondays Senate proceedings contain
the following tidings of one slightly
known down in Caldwell, Franklin and
Catahoula parishes: s.-
81. Wesley Mayfield, (Rep. the COM
testant of the seat of Senator Bowman,
(Dem. of Catahoula and VIM, sent to
the President of the Senate a communi-
cation in which he withdrew all claims
or rights Of contest in this case, and
spoke in eulogistic terms of the public
and private character of the Honorable
Senator whose seat he no longer con-
tests"
Which naturally suggests the inl
quiry, Why was any contest ever in
stituted? and after being instituted,
why was it dropped? Mr.. Bowman
was subsequently seated as Senator from
the Catahoula district. Exit, Wesley,
forever.
A heavy rain is falling as we go to
press. We shall doubtless have tull

The river has fallen at least four feet
since the late rise. The Gov. Allen and
Ouachita Belle are both likely to quit
the trade in consequence of scarcity of
fuel.
The Daily telegraph. (Monroe, La.) 1870-1886, 1871-01-13

We would suggest to such communi-
ties and parishes as are interested in
proposed railroad or other pnblic enter
prises, that they meet in consultation
and give expression to their wishes in
the premises, while the legislature is
in session. That body is likely mot to
give much attention to the wants of the
country, unless those wants are dis
tinctly set forth. We believe in pub
lie enthusiasm as a motive power for
politicians and stupid assemblies. We
believe in railroads, and in live news
papers; but it requires popular backing
to build up and sustain either. Our
section of country is in great need of
both, as stimulants to a vigorous and
life-like existence. Let us have a few
rousing railroad meetings; put energet-
ic, stirring men in the lead, and we
shall see quite changed condition in
the affairs of the country. There is al
together too much inertness, unless our
case was entirely hopeless, which is
not the case with any country that will
sprout peas, much less ours where one
laborer is good for five hundred dollars.
