Romances of the old fashioned kind
are not yet obsolete in England. The
daughter of a rich English barrister
some time ago eloped with the coach
man. and thus excited the parental
wrath beyond hope of forgiveness.
The fugitive pair tried love in cot
tage on the island of Jersey, and
found it terrible discouraging bust
ness. They had hard time of it,
but few weeks ago the solicitor of
the high toned old barrister hunted
them up and informed them that the
old man relented before his death and
left his daughter one-tlirl of his large
property.

LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE,
From our own Correspondent
BATON ROUGE, July 20, 1872.


BATON ROUGE, July 20, 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN Nothing of
Importance has occurred here since
you heard from me last. In our
neighboring parish-West Baton
Rouge--the Liberal party was fully
organized last week, delegates APP
pointed to the State Convention and
tae ratification of the nomination of
Greeley and Brown took place in
which every one regardless fprev;ous
political affiliations joined enthusias-
tically.
I notice the Picayune is still try
ing to make Warmoth Governor -
The willy editors of that old sheet
upraid some Of their contemporaries
for speaking respectfully of the Gov
ernor, because, says the editors,." his
very name is mountain of filth. -
Ii that be the case,-and the edi-
tors themselves, say so-what very
filthy paper the Picayune must be
for his name is mentioned no less
than a dozen times in each of its
reading columns. just think of it
twelve full grown mountains of filth
in one mortal column alone-how
obnoxious such paper must be to
refined and modest readers.
The Picayune, I dare say has done
more than all the balance of War
moths friends put together to build
him up in the estimation of the peo-
pie. Senseless abuse, without argu-
ment ; charge after charge, with no
proof of his guilt inveterate hatred
where moderation and propriety
should have ruled are all in his favor
and have availed the Picayune tribe
nothing. To the contrary they have
hurt their cause and Warmoth stands
to-day in the shoes of the first po-
litical leaders of our State. If he
should have the good fortune to ever
fill a seat in the United States Senate
I hope he will strain every nerve to
the very depth of his noble talent
for the good of our whole people,
and that when bis labors of one ses-
sion has been completed his present
political traducers will feel heartily
ashamed of themselves.
The weather here to-day is in
tensely hot in the shade and not one
breath Of air stirring. The Their
mometer has ranged from 80 to SO

POLITICAL FUTURES.

Time and again have we been
forced into the discussion of subjects
the nature OF which did not effect
the public. At present we are drawn
into controversy by parties who we
may well call moral jackals, men
who prey on graveyards and feed fat
on SANDER, fa}sehood and corrup-
ton" Men who tread the daily
paths of life in utter contempt of
decency, and who, in direct viola
ton Of the rules which govern man
kind, snap their fingers at the laws,
and trample under their feet the
most sacred and jealousy guarded
rights o; private citizens. We have
asked ourselves the question, show
can these political vultures be reach
ed ?" How can men who in their
very nature are cowardly and infa-
nous, be punished ? Hemp! under
new and more healthy regime,
would have the desired effect and
would purge society. Hemp judi
ciously applied would cure the fel-
ons. Hemp would remedy all the
evils, and would scoop out all the
scum and dirt which now clusters in
knot in our parish. AND HEMP WILL
BE APPLIED, -,

FROM THE PARISHES.

The Vidalia (Concordia) Herald is
alarmed at the appearance Of the
cotton worms. It says The worm
has made its appearance in great
numbers, scarcely a field but which
has been more or less disposed by
the voracious appetites Of these ter
rible pests.
We take the following from the
North Louisiana JoY"al: We have
had some pretty hot weather during
the past two weeks, with occasional
rains some of the latter very heavy,
especially in the lower part Of the
parish. The reports coming to us
regarding the condition OF the crops
are contradictory. We are under
the impression that the prospects Of
our planting community are not as
bright as they were q few weeks ago.
There are but few worms thus far,
however, and they may not spread
to any extent. If they should not,
now that the rains have ceased for Il
while, the crops will recuperate and
the elongated faces become radiant
again.
The Louisiana LnteNigencer, pub
lished at Monroe, La, announces the
appearance of the caterpillers in that
parish. -
The New Iberia Progress says that
sad havoc is being made on some
plantations by the cotton worm.
The same paper reports the kill
ing of Eugene Thomas by Elijah
Thornsby. Cause non-payment Of
debts.
The Progress also contradicts the
report that there is yellow fever in
Brashear City.
In an article headed "Hard Times, .
the West Baton Rouge Sugar Plan
ter says The great scarcity Of
money is a source of common COM
plant with us at the present time
At no period since the war closed
has money been tighter and more
difficult to collect.
The cotton worms continue the
rayages in that parish.
