SONORA SKATING RINK.--The proprietor
having completed all the arrangements. will
tonight open his rink to the public. Owing
ito the difficulties thrown in his way by the
owners of the plympton patent skate, Mr..
Bradford has not been able to open the rink
so early by several weeks as he had expected.
lie now will use skate of his ewn invention
which he thinks win give equal satisfaction
with the Plympton and Kimball make and
which does not infringe on the principle of
the Plympton skate as determined recently
in the U. S. District Court at San Francisco.
Mr.. Bradford has spared no pains or expense
to have as good rink for skating as there is
in the State, the hall is 49, feet long in the
clear and 81 feet wide with as nice and
smooth floor as can be laid, a number of ex-
perienced skaters have given the floor trial
and universally pronounce it to be oil that is
desired. All the requisite conveniences re-
auired, dressing rooms for ladies and gentle
men &c. have been amply provided. Ifthere
is any place that skaters can feel certain of
finding everything satisfactory it will be
Rradford's Skating Rink. Charley Bradford
will have the superintendent of everything
pertaining to the care and attention to visit
ors and patrons, and of the disposition of
tickets. The proprietor wanting everybody
to learn to skate, very literally proposes to al
low practice, free Of cost to all. Three after
moons In the week, ladies and girls can have
a chance 10 practice by themselves, no gen.
tlemen will be admitted during the hours set
apart for them. Two afternoons are also set
apart IN the same way for men and boys ac-
cording to the advertisement in another col

GRIzzLY MlNE.-We have been informed

this mine, that the prospect is splendid for
largo yields in the future. For considerable
time work was prosecuted for the purpose of

recently been found dipping towards the

National C0FOred Convention.

Charleston, Oct. 22.-The National Colo
rcd Convention met in Columbia on Wed
nesday, Lieutenant Governor Ransier, of
South Carolina, being permanent president.
On Thursday resolutions endorsing Presi-
dent Grants administration were introduced
and referred. Resolutions were adopted
advocating the preservation of the recon
structed State Governments and existing
laws, and the continuance in power of the
Republican party, also endorsing those Re-
pubIicans who have come to the South from
the North, and deprecating an attack npon
class within the Republican ranks. Rcso-
~lntions were introduced on Friday depreca-
ting emigration to Liberia.
Congressman Elliott, of South Carolina.
submitted yesterday an address to the
American people. 1t asks for a more perfect
recognition of the colored people in the
workshops and all other industrial pursuits,
that they may become proficient in mechan-
ical sciences, and thereby protect skilled
artisans from having to compete in the mar.
ket with workmen Of inferior capacity. 1t
asks from Congress aid for the education of
the poor children of the South. It demands
one standard of duty or policy for all citi-
zens, and no especial favor but to deal with
all alike. 1t atfirms that the colored citi-
zens have no desire to strike a line of action
not common to the whole people, and con-
clndcs with a hope for a speedy abolition of
slavery in every part of the world.

Gen. Wade Hampton's Advice.

Gen. Hampton, of South Carolina, advises
the Southern Democracy to take no part in
the next National Democratic Convention,
and gives the following reasons for so doing
81. The Southern delegates in a national
convention could exercise no influence in
shaping the policy, making up the issues,
or selecting the candidates for the next con-
test, without seriously injuring the prospect
of a Democratic triumph. That this would
inevitably be the case is proven by the re-
suit of the last Democratic Convention,
where the very presence of Southerners was
used to prejudice the action and to defeat
the candidate Of our party.
90. If the Southern candidates could not
with propriety exert any influence in the
convention, while their mere attendance in
it might result in infinite mischief to the
Democratic party, it is surely the part OF
wisdom to refrain FROM participating in the
deliberations of the convention.
90. The Northern Democracy will have
to bear the burden of the fight in the next
Presidential contest, and it is only right that
they should choose the field and select the
standard bearers" .

District Court.

The Eighth District Court Judge John
E. King, presiding, opened at Opelousas
last Monday. But little business has been
done this week, except by the Grand Jury.
The most important business that will
come before the Court, is that of a
criminal nature. Crime cannot be checked
except by punishment; and that pun
ishment, to be effective, must result from
the action Of judicial tribunals. 1t is a
matter of notoriety) that many murders
have been comitted here, and that few,
comparatively none of the murderers have
been tried and punished. Few are indicted,
fewer tried, and still fewer convicted. Wit
nesses are afraid to testify, and avoid testi-
flying, because they have lost all faith in the
certainty of punishment following proof; it
is not safe to have a murderer for a neigh
Dor against whom you have testified in
court. Heinous crimes are continually com.
mitted, and it is almost impossible to find
out the perpetrators, on account of this feel
ing and fear on the part of witnesses. 1t is
indeed a deplorable state of affairs, and it
cannot be easily changed except-by the &C
ton of the judiciary. Murders are commit
ted because the murderers have no fear of
punishment; witnesses will not testify
against them because they fear them more
than they respect the law which is seldom
enforced. A murderer tried shol tly after
the commission of the crime, when the proof
is plain and easily obtained, and public feel
ing against him, may be convicted bat by
appeals, new trials. and the many other de-
lays known to legal practice, the final dis
position of the case is postponed, until pub
lie feeling has died out, and witnesses dis
appeared, when acquittal, or punishment
merely nominal compared with the enormity
Of the offence, follows as a matter of course.
Any one who will review, in his own recol.
lection, the homicides that have been com
mitted, the trials for homicide, and how
many have been punished for the same, will
admit that these remarks are correct. The
feeling is general, among all classes of peo-
pie, that no one, especially one who can
command money, and has infuentialfriends,
will be punished for homicide. We have
heard this feeling expressed often, at all
times and places, and BY all classes.
It rests with the Grand Jury, the Petit
Jury, the Sheriff, the District Attorney and
the District Judge, to rid the community of
this great and growing evil and especially
do the industrious, peaceable and law-abid-
ing citizens look to them for vigorous
against the law-breakers, at the
term Of the District Court.
