Alpena has at last been furnished with
what 1t has long been In need of-some
person with sufficient stamana and bust
ness capacity TO introduce boiler man
ufacturlng establishment. We learn
from Mr.. Doyle that he intends to make
arrangements during the winter for roll
ers, punches, and such other tools as will
enable him to commence the manufacture
of new work. Alpena is very much In
need of such an establishment, and we
sincerely hope that it will receive the en-
couragemcnt of all concerned, as 1t will
be quite step toward the advancement
of our little city. The price paid out foi
the manufacture and repair of boilers,
from Mackinaw to Au Sable, is enormous,
and not one cent of this does our city
receive. IL Is all monopolized by the
manufactures of Detroit and Bay City,
while II the numbering interests of this
locality will give this matter their con-
sidcration, 1t will bring at least nine
tenths Of the money paid to the work
shops of other places, for the manufac-
turc and repair of boilers along the lake
shore, to be expended at home. We sim
cerely trust that this matter will receive
the due consideration of the citizens Of
Alpena and the places along the shore, as
we think Mr.. Doyle has just sufficient
ability TO give gencncral satisfaction and
make his business a success, with very
little encouragement

According to late decision of
the Supreme Court, 'the power of
the President to pardon all often
ses against the Federal Govern
nent is full and absolute, and can
not be inteifered with OF obstruc-
ted by Congress- Hence the
Amnesty Proclamation of Presi-
dent johnson, of December Is,
1868, carries full and thorough
amnesty to the people of the
South, save those especially ex-
cepted by that instrument. The
only power that Congress retains
in the premises, is the Constitution

in that matter the Lower House
has so far modified its reouirI-

How to make Reform a Sue
BY JUDGE BAKER.

As it is the expressed desire
of the Reform party of Lonisi-
ana, 10 hare an equitable code
Of la'cs so strictly enforced as to
gire protection to the person and
property Of erery indiridual-
which is a Republican principle
it becomes necessary for them
to take broad and liberal views
and lay aside prejudices as to
party names, and partiality for
party pets and personal friends,
and seize and use every ele-
ment of power within their
reach in the coming struggle
between virtue and vice.
Assistance from the General
Government is a stern necessi-
ty, and national support will be
a great advantage, and this can
only be certainly obtained by
acting in concert with the dom
iuant (the Republican, party
and supporting their candidate
(U.S. Grant) for President-as
that election is sure to trameI
if not destroy all sectional
parties.
Then much Will depend on
the Reform ticket placed before
the people-fre-proof records,
brains and availability must be
the qualities predominating in
candidates. If either of these
advantages are neglected or re-
jected, it is sure to be used by
opponents against Reform, and
defeat is certain.

DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN WAR
MOTHS MENAGERIE.-At the
night session of his Excellency's
representatives last evining, Mr..
Huston while endeavoring to adj
vocate the passage of measure
relative TO some local matter OF
the parish he represents, was vio-
lently interrupted by the bellicose
Carr, so-c;,lled member from De-
Soto.
Huston becoming CALLED by the
impertinent interruptions Of Carr,
suddenly turned upon his tormen-
tor and very audibly denounced
him as the son of a lady whose
virtue was not beyond purchase,
coupling that interesting an
nouncement with the further as
sertion that he (Huston) did re-
present real live constituency.
and tnat, unlike Carr, he did not
fraudulently represent himself as a
member from parish in which.
according to his (Carr'S) own
sworn testimony, he never had
had shirt washed; and that, fur
Their, while Carr might boast of
his ill-acquired wealth, he Illus
tom knew that the first money
that ever iingled in his (Carr's)
pocket he Carr stole from the
till of Canal street dry goods
merchant.
Alter the interchange of a few
more such legislative compliments,
Carr made a demonstration to-
ward the drawing of a pistol,
wherein Huston loudly shouted
''that's my game, you thief; come
on-I'm ready for you," etc, &C
companying the words with the
action Of putting his hand in his
pistol pocket. Upon which de
termined demonstration, Carr
wilted, grew livid with fear, and
hastily took refuge behind knot
of interested and amused specta
tors.
Chiefof Police Warmoth being
on hand lobbying as usual, at once
made a rush upon the sanguinari
~ inclined Huston, and calling to
his aid a half dozen of his Metro.
politan janissaries, the amiable
Huston was persuaded to put up
his pistol and accompany War
moth down stairs for the purpose
of indnlging in a pleasant little
chat, where, after the lapse of a
few seconds, the persuasive pow
ersofhiS Excellency prevailed, and
the indignant and irate Huston
became as tame and docile as nv
lady's sucking dove.

We understand that a license
fax of one hundred and fifty
dollars has been imposed by
the Legislature upon all sellers
of liquor in less quantities than
one gallon. The parish license
tax is the same I; consequently
but few can afford TO sell spir-
its by the small. This tax will
surely not be exacted from
those who discontinue selling
so soon as they hear of the law.
If it should be exacted il would
be a stretch of despotic au .hor-
ity unusual euen in our carpet
bag government. Nearly every
store keeper in the parish has
been selling spirits by the bot
tie. The thing must be closed
out now.

One of the surest ways of
gaining popularity with the
people is to furnish them with
the articles they need most at
reasonable prices. This one of
the reasons for the great pop
ularity of Messrs. Levy & b.

have choice groceries and sell
them ut popular prices, and
every article is fresh, pure and
good.

ALABAMA LANDS.--Sipce the

great success of the Vineland
Colony, in New Jersey, and the
Greedy Colony, in Colorado
territory, a considerable desire
seems spreading 10 settle new
country and unimproved lands
in old sections in that way. This
method has all the advantages
that cooperation can give. Nor
does the modern plan make the
people clanish at all, for all
sorts and with every conceiva-
bic difference in religious and
political beliefs may be harmo-
niously collected together.
A colony is organizing in
Cincinnati to settle on some
land near Logansport. This
land is bought for three dollars
per acre, which, to people in
the Northern section of the
Union, seems cheap. We hope
this colony may be a success,
and may draw the attention of
the country to our section.
On the projected Memphis
and Shreveport Railroad, thirty
miles from the latter town and
in the new parish of Webster,
lies what we call the Alabama
lands. Some fifteen years ago
they were entered at Natchito-
cheS, in the name of the State
of Alabama, and were in lieu
of certain Sixteenth Sections
in that State that the State for
some reasons, failed to gel for
school purposes. After their
entry here, it was found that
Alabama had received its quota
elsewhere, consequently'no pa
tent was ever issued and the
title to the lands still remains
in the United States; but they
have never been again opened
for entry. These lands COM
prise twenty-one sections in
township twenty-five of range
ten, Northwest Louisiana. and
are as healthy and fertile cotton
uplands as can he found any
where in the State. What a
fine locality for a new colony !!
Such a colony might be organ
lied during this spring and
summer, and by a proper ac-
ton of the General Land Office,
the whole of these lands might
be entered under the Home
stead law by the individuals
composing the colony.
