We can hardly conceive of higher
compliment to soldier than that paid
Colonel Charles w. Squires in the denun-
citation of the Democratic Parish Commit
tee. Because he considered his solemn
oath to support the constitution and the
laws and to obey orders from his supe-
riors. paramount to the wishes Of polit-
ical faction, they are filed with ''astonish-
ment and disgust" The accompanying
intimation that General A. Z, 2fneon and
Colonel W. M. Owen, also d vernon
Warmoth's militia, entertaine~ inherent
ailments as to their duty, can only be
regarded as insulting. AS this declaration
is made in a semi-authoritative form, we
expect those gentlemen will give speedy
and emphatic denial to the committee S
assertion, or resign their commissions.

DEFENSIVE, EXPLANATORY AND DE-
MANDATORY,

I'VE, the people of Louisiana, procla-
mates F. C. Zacharie and his half-dozen
Tooley street tailor associates who do the
cleaning and repairing for the Democracy.
We, the people, do declare that all the in
cendiary and revolutionary acts which We
have committed during the past three
weeks in our own behalf and interests,
were proper, just and patriotic; while the
course of all persons opposing US was IAN
outrage upon a crushed and downtrodden
people" Therefore, we do now proceed
to indorse ourselves, and recommend our
selves to the public as the only fit and
proper persons to be intrusted with the
control Of the public offices; and further
declare that any opposition whatever to
these sentiments, so pregnant with benefits
for the dear people, should be summarily
crushed with the strong hand.
Furthermore, and whereas several De-
mocratic legislators have presumed to act
upon their own convictions and in accord
ance with instructions from the people
who elected them, and in so doing have
assisted in breaking up our little game, We
do hold them up to general scorn and con-
tumely; and as all political wisdom is cen
tered in us who are near the Capitol, while
the weak minded residents of the parishes
are easily deceived by sounding phrases
and glibly-spoken sentiments we expect
them to follow our dictation, CT in dread
await similar denurciation and excommu-
nication from the political brotherhood of
the champions of the Cause of the Peo-
pie"
Clipped off few falsehoods ''cut from
whole CLOTH" and shorn of the usual wordy
trimmings ''cabbaged from the horn
books for political tyros, the above gives
the real pith of addresses yesterday pro-
mulgated by the fiery young Democracy,
who joined with the Packard-C aseyites to
destroy the legal government of Louisiana,
Stupid as the whole thing is, the Custom
house organ clucks over this effort of its
Democratic allies equal to pullet over its
first egg, metaphorically pats the young
essayist on the back in the most encourag-
ing way, dubs the mob organ ''our es
teemed contemporary" and INDUCES in
self-admiration to degree that We hope
will afford it that consolation which it has
wholly failed to receive from its ambitious
attempts at revolution. We, too, derive
no little qualification from these publica-
tons, and sincerely hope that now SO fair
start has been made, Messrs. Zacharie,
Patton ct ols, will continue to assist US in
proving to the Republicans OF the State
and nation how great is the danger our
party has so fortunately escaped, and how
base and unworthy are those so-called Re
publicans, who have been instrumental in
fomenting and organizing our perils

YOUNG MEN FOR COUNSEL--CLD MEN
FOR WAR

The Democratic youngsters of the fourth
ward have reversed the old Greek maxim,
and offer themselves to the people of sew
eral of the country parishes as their polit-
ical guides and counselors. St. Landry,
Lafayette and Calcasieu can now dispense
with the services of Hon. II. C. Anderson:
Bossier, Bienville and Claiborne may re-
tire Hon. S. M. Thomas; Livingston is
called upon to part with the distinguished
statesman, Thomas Green Davidson, who
has served that parish for forty years;
East and West Feliciana, Vermi!ion, La

their chosen representatives, Messrs

Senator Blackman assures us that he
never made the charge that the State au-
thorities were the first to invoke the assist
ance Of the United States troops in the
late battle of the Wilderness; that he
has never discussed the matter of the
troops at all. But he charged that the
Republican party was the first .aggressor,
and cited transactions SO far back as 1868
to prove his position. Without conceding
the latter point, we cheerfully correct the
first error into which some Of the city
papers have fallen, and are glad to learn
that the Senator from Claiborne is not
among those who charge the Governor
with the initiative in demanding federal
interference.

LEGITIMATE LEGISLATION,

Senator Blackman has introduced into
the Senate three bills which may be re-
garded as initiatory in the work of reform
to which the Democratic Senators and
their allies are pledged.
The most important of these is entitled
an act relative to apportionment Of the
representation of the State 1t seems that
the last apportionment bill is not based
entirely upon the returns of the United
States census, but gives unequal represen-
tation to several of the parishes. We have
not had leisure to examine into the merits
of the proposed bill, but deem it fair
subject for debate, and will give it all at
tention in due time. Also bill to be en-
titled an act relative to the taxpayers of
the State, relieving them of all penalties
for the non-payment of taxes. This is
also a proper subject for legislation,
but we suggest caution in the mat
ter of relieving such delinquents as
are habitually behind hand in the du-
ties of good citizenship. The bill for the
repeal of the constabulary and Metropoli-
tan Police laws should be substituted by
others, providing for such amendments as
wisdom may suggest. The Republican
party, which is yet a very important and
influential part of the people, can not yet
afford to dispense with all the safeguards
thrown around the weak voters to protect
them from the strong and vicious.
Yet We admit the right of Senator
Blackman to urge the adoption of his
views upon the attention of the Senate,
and if he can secure their adoption by
both houses, and the approval by the ex-
ecutive, We in common with all good citi-
zens, shall give them our cheerful acqui-
escense. At all events We are pleased to
see the beginning of legitimate business
in the Senate, and hope the end of irritat-
ing debate is at hand

The Times manages to maintain state
Of frothy indignation still. The primary
cause of its trouble is to be found in the
fact that it considers Mr. Weed, its pro-
prietor, the only individual capable of sat
istactorily discharging the functions of
Governor of Louisiana: the next is that it
possesses an unhappy faculty Of regarding
its own assertions as facts It assumes
the truth to be that the House of Repre-
sentatives refused to admit certain men,
bers because they might agitate Carter S
claims to the Speakership, quite ignoring
the circumstance that Carter is not even a
member Of the House, nor is ever likely to
be, even without such injudicious cham
pions as the Times; and it persists in erro-
neously counting the votes on various leg
islative acts and growing virtuously angry
over the stupid conclusions which result
from its own more stupid blunders. Oh,

The GOODNESS of the announcement of
the good effects" resulting from the Gus
tomhouse-Democratic coalition can be at
tributed only to the freezing effects Of the
weather upon the Democratic parish CON-
mittee, who utter it:
The Governor and his partisans have
offered terms OF compromise, agreeing to
place the House of Representatives. with
G. w. Carter as Speaker, as it was before
he took forcible possession of it, on condi-
ton that he be not impeached.
We should like to know who made the
offer, when it was made, and why Carter
Garter don't accept? Do these young
Democratic leaders think to deceive the
people by such lame excuses for their rash
conduct? And pray who wants to i'm
peach George W. Carter for taking forcible
possession of the House of Representa-
tives, since he has already been expelled
for that very act? Try again, young gen.

A Massachusetts woman, lately deceased

before her death, in order to keep her memory
green in the mind of her husband, wrote
number of letters, which she post-dated, and
confided them on her death-bed to a friend,
with directions to post one to him on the last

his mourning the husband was rather glad to
receive the pseudo communications from the
spirit world, but when time had cooled the
heart burnings of his grief and another woman
presided at his table, the postman's arrival with
a posthumous letter at the end of each lunar
revolution became very malapropos, and quite
destroyed, with its dismal memories, the pleas

Price $45 Cash, with usual Advance on Time.
EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for
L. the past six years in this State, for Cotton
and Corn, has so far established its character for
excellence as to render comment unnecessary.
In accordance with the established policy of
the Company to furnish the best Concentrated
Fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the Company is en-
abled to do by reason of its large facilities and
the reduced cost Of manufacture.
The supplies put into market this season are,
as heretofore, prepared under the personal su-
perintendence of DR.. st. Julian Ravenel, Chem
list of the Company, at Charleston, S. c., hence
planters may rest assured that its QUALITY
and COMPOSITION is precisely the same as
that heretofore sold. AT the present low price
every acre planted can be fertilized with 200
pounds Guano at cost not exceeding the pres
ent value of 30 pounds of cotton, while export
ence has shown that under favorable conditions
of season and cultivation the crop is increased
by the application from Two to threefold the
natural capacity of the soil. Hence, under no
conditions could its application fail to compen-
