-4he Summit people have been imposed
upon by a fellow who went up there to
prey on their credulity, as we infer from
this report in the Times Of that city:
On Monday last, about 6 P. NJ, poor,
miserable cripple came hObbling up to the
depot, dropped his dirty bundle on the
floor and seated himself on it. After eat
ing q piece Of stale bread that he took from
his ragged coat he delivered himself thusly:
"Gentlemen, don't trouble yourselves about
me; ] am an outcast, but not q yagrant; ]
am not dishonest, or / would have better
clothes ] fought the Indians in Florida,
the Mexicans in Mexico, the rebels in Vir-
ginia, the white men in Louisiana. / have
been an honest Republican; held Office un-
der a Republieanig OveTnment. But when ]
refused To steal TOR them I was not only
cast cut OF my ofice, but these sores tell
YOU something OF the unmerciful whipping
received at their hands. All / ask for
now Is to live until after the election that
may vote for Greeley and Brown and wit
ness the ours IS the political lash is applied
to them Three dollars and seventy-fivC
cents was soon made up by a few rebels, 8
ticket purchased to jackson, Mississippi,
and the old federal soldier was sent on lis
way rejoicing.
Lt is needless to say that this whole story
is fiction, and that no such man has
held Office in Louisiana.

JOINT RESOLUTION .
Relative to the removal of a duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and instructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto
WHEREAS, The Congress Of the United
States of America are contemplating, in
the readjusting of the national tariff, to re
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro-
ductive interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of government
in the protection of its material interests,

laws in the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of LOUISE
ana IN General Assembly convened, That,
In the deliberate judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against a sound public policy
tor the Congress of the United States Of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition of the
business interest and agricultural industry
of the South Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request our Representatives
in Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this Joint resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the in
terest of the people Of the State Of LOuisi-
ana.
Adopted in General Assembly, in the city
