NUMBER 80.
A Disastrous Tornado.

T We copy the following from an ex-
ira edition of the Rapides (Alexandria)
Gaeette of May 25th:
Our town was yesterday visited by
one of the most disastrous tornadoes
we have witnessed for many years.
About IL O'Clock the wind commenced
| blowing furiously, accompanied by IL
/ heavy fall of rain, and for half an
hour or more the hurricane continued
without abatement. Those who were
in positions deemed unsafe, were not
slow to seek other localities where
there was less danger. As soon as the
wind and the rain would permit, our
people sailed forth to see what dam
age had been done, and in many places
the work of destruction was to be
seen. The new Episcopal Church was
leyelled with the ground, and is a
complete wreck. The galleries, with
a part of the wall, in front of the
stores of r. G. Hetherwick, TAFT.
Laney, and NJ. Rosenthal, were blown
down. A large part of the roof of the
west side of the Exchange Hotel was
torn off. The carpenter shop of Mr..
Mills is blown down. Also house in
the upper part of the town, besides
many fences, shade trees, etc. For
tunately, no lives were lost that we
have heard. Several narrow escapes
were made. Mr.. B. G. Duke narrow
ly escaped injury by the falling gal
leries on Front street. The steeple
OF the church barely missed crushing
iil the house of Capt. j. G.. White, in
which his family were sitting at the
time. We learn that several small
houses We're blown down in Pineville,
and that great damage has been done
to the crops in the vicinity.
Those who have suffered by this ca
lamity are entitled to public sympa-
thy. Particularly do we sympathize
with the congregation of st. james,
Church, who had, at the cost of many
sacrifices, built an edifice that was
universally recognized as an orna-
lnent to the town. We should be
thankful, however, that the catas-
trophe is no worse, that there has on
ly been sacrifice of property with
out loss of life.
2. S.-Since the above was written
we learn that Il cabin was blown
down at the kelso place, and II
colored man severely injured. We
also learn that Il cabin was blown
down ON Capt. w. J. Calvit's place,
about two miles below town, but for
tunately no lives We're lost.
LATER-From reliable information
u-o laoru thot n oo1apaI ho,- x,-oe I, Hal
on Bayou Rapides, from the falling
timbers of a cabin; also that another
was seriously injured.

Defining his Position.

In the following outspoken article
the editor of the Madison Journal de-
fines his position
Some of our good friends have been
exercised about our position in regard
to State politics, heretofore, and now
about federal politics. Among them,
the editor of the OuaclIita Telegraph,
whom we recognize as one of the most
loyal, truthful gentlemen we have ev-
er known, either us editor or as pri-
vate citizen. For their edifcation and
instruction we will give them these ::
In our editorial life we have never
thought it our duty to abuse or vilify
men because they happened to dis
agree with lis in politics or religion.
We have never thought it right or
proper to denounce man as a thief
or even a dishonored official, unless
we could point to the act which made
him such.
Hence, we have not abused Gov.
Warmoth, or given currency to the
various charges affecting his official
character which have been made
against him, and never proved. We
have had frequent occasion to COM
mend and applaud him for acts which
we thought were in the interest of the
commonwealth under circumstances
that would have deferred good men of
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-06-08

less courage !; and sometimes we have
censured him for acts which we thought
were almost objectionable usurpations
of power, and in direct contravention
of the constitution and laws which he
was sworn to support and execute.
| We do respect Gov. Warmotll. He is
the chief magistrate of the State. On
one or two occasions we have applied
to him for acts i'll his power to grant
OF grace and mercy. We were sue
cessful i'll those applications, and al
though we had no personal interest in
either, we were impressed with the
idea that he desired to administer the
government with which he is intrust-
ed i'll wisdom and mercy, and so far as
our knowledge extends he has done
so with very few exceptions. We do
not believe that Gov. Warmoth has
ever received Il bribe any more than
John Ray has; and if every politician
between here and the gates of hell
were to come up and swear before
Judge Hough that he had, we wouldn't
believe it; nor does our friend Nc
Cranie believe that Nh. Ray has ever
received one, yet he has been as in
dustriously and unscrupulously charg-
ed as the Governor has.
For the further editication and in
struction of our friends we will say
that John Ray is our choice, of all
men in Louisiana, for the office of
Gouernor. There are men whom we
like, personally better, but we know
of none who possess higher qualifca-
tions. He is capable and he is honest.
And now for little further instruc-
ton: We believe that Horace Greeley
possesses as much brain and as much
heart as is wrapped up in the hide of
any living man in the country. We
believe that Gen. Grant possesses the
nerve and will to execute the laws. If
we believed that Horace Greeley had
the administrative talent which his
lieutenant, Mr.. Brown, gives him
credit for, we would rather see him
President than any other living man.
If any Republican or Democrat ex-
poets us to say one word against the
grand old mar who, with all his
knowledge, is to-day as simple heart
ed and pure-minded as any woman in
the land, we think they are mistaken.
Gen. Grant is our candidate for
President !; beside him there is but
one, and he is HORACE GREELEY.

A Thousand Dead Newspapers.
[From the st. Louis Dispatch.1

The rise and fall of newspapers is
very little appreciated, and in this
country where Journals spring up like
mushrooms and are cut down like
toadstools, do the people least of all
understand the pecuniary perils of
publishing paper. Facts are, how
ever, more stubborn than reasoning,
and we quote from the Americaa
Newspaper Directory to show how dis
astrons has been the efforts of Ameri-
can ambition to indulge in the vanity
OF occupying the editorial chair and
rule the political destinies of Il chosen
people.
In a number of the above named
Directory, we find in list of seven
teen States and the District of Colum-
bia, that no less than five hundred
newspapers which were in existence
on New Years day of 1871, failed and
passed out Of business before October.
The reader will bear in mind that
this list does not include newspaper
failures i'll the great States of Ohio,
New York and Pennsylvania, and
hA0NNA VA SISSHlC0lt I1tuICS uIItt
Territories i'll the Union.
This is a fearful mortality, not only
of hope but of capital, for averaging
the investment in each of these
papers, only as weeklies, at $4,000,
which Is Il low estimate, we arrive at
an absorption of over one million and
half dollars. When we consider, as
before explained, that this is Il state
ment embracing losses in seventeen
States only, and that we may fairly
put six or seven hundred more papers
down to the debtor side of profit and
loss, for the remaining States and
Territories, and then the losses will
make an aggregate exhibit of at least
two millions and quarter lost to in
dividuals, which if put into crops
would have multiplied itself fifty
fold, at least, in ten years. But dem
ocIatic rs free Americans are in poll
ties, they must be aristocratic in their
selection of IL future. We must be
lawyers or doctors, or editors, and
the result is that thousands who every
year choose between law, physic and
Bohemia are utterly unfit for either,
and go through life in rambling,
shambling hand-to-m mouth manner,
fully aware, when it is too late, that
the first step in life was u wofully
false one.
'fhe eleven or twelve hundred
papers whose decease is here chron-
icled, scarcely extend beyond the
class of weeklies. A much more in
teresting and suggestive statement, if
we had full data at hand, could be
made about dead and dying dailies.
New York city has seen no less than
tifty-six give up the ghost in Il short
time, and it OWNS to-day score of
others in moribund condition, for no
city daily can be said to be alive and
healthy unless it has existed eight or
ten years and consumed the capital of
three or four sets of publishers and
proprietors.

have practically made to the North
through the Cincinnati platform and
nominations. The enthusiastic rati-
tication of these throughout the South
ern States-shaming our slower North
ern blOod-shows that the South has,
in one respect, learned a higher moral
lesson in it's defeat than the North in
its yictory-the lesson of warm
hearted fraternization with its former
foes
We are not ashamed, therefore, of
the alliance which we made with our
confreres at Cincinnati-the North
with the South, the Liberal Republi-
can with the Democratic party. Not
to have made it would have been to
forego the most Christian use to which
the craftsmanship of this generation
has ever. yet been put. This alliance,
if it prove worthy of the good genius
which inspired it, must remain based
on the Oblivion of hatreds, and the
forgiveness of injuries its object must
be to maintain liberty and order
among the people, and to introduce
integrity and purity anto the govern
ment; and its result will be the beat
ing OF the sworn into the plOwshare,
and manifest progress toward "peace
on earth and good will among men,
These aspects of the new political
revolution have led us to give our
whole heart to it, in the solemn con-
viction that the party issues which it
presents outrank in moral value any
former Presidential platforms ever adj
dressed to the American people.

Lincoln, Greeley, Seward.
[F'rom the Shreveport Republican. |

4
The Administration press and the
local leaders of the Custom House ring
in this State charge that Horace Gree
ley opposed the nomination of Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1860, and favored that
of VIM. FL. Seward, of New York. 1t
is a matter of historical record that
Greeley and Seward were at dagger's
point, owing to some disagreement
between them as to the policy of the
administration of the New York State
government, then under the executives
control of the latter, who was elected
to that high and honorable position
through the efforts of Mr.. Greeley.
Though Mr.. Seward was the most
prominent gentleman then before the
public as the nominee of the SPRING
field National Republican Convention,
it was not owing to Mr.. Greeley's adj
vocacy of his claims. On the contra
ry, the latter went to Springfield and
sought out Mr.. Lincoln, and in the ia
nous meeting at Cooper Institute in
troduced him to the country. Up to
this period of his history, Mr.. Lincoln
was hardly known outside of Illinois,
and even in that State was not very
famous as a local leader. His famous
Introductory speech at the great gath
ering of the people just mentioned was
published i'll Horace Greeley's paper,
the New York Tribune, with extensive
comments thereon, and through the
medium of the press Mr.. Lincoln was
made the central figure of that circle
of great men who were then promi-
nently before the people. when the
Convention met, by Greeley's extern
sive and overpowering influence and
persistent efforts, Abraham Lincoln
was nominated and subsequently cleo
ted President of the United States,
and the American people were given
the richest legacy which ever fell or
will fall to this or any other genera
ton. All honor is due his memory,
and all credit to his friend Horace
Greeley, who did SO much to confer
upon the colored man, through Lin
coins nomination and election, the
inestiniable boon of freedom and adj
ditional honor and credit is due Mr..
Greeley for his persistent advocacy of
those measures i'll Congress which have
made that boon blessing beyond the
power of computation or appreciation.

The editor of Republican paper
in North Carolina thinks it " funny to
Zee old secessionists and holders
throwing up their hats for Greeley"
His mirth is augmented by the retiec-
tion that only few short years ago
these very men would have considered
that they We're doing God q service to
tar and feather the aforesaid Greeley,
and he quotes in yerification II law
they passed making the second otfense
for circulating paper like the Til
.buRe within the limits of the old North
State punishable with death.

Tally one for little Switzerland, as
being the only country on the face of
the earth were there is more money
spent ON education than on the army.
The educational budget amounts to
ten millions of francs, whereas the
military expenses remain below that
sum /; yet in time of need the happy
republic can raise an army of two

1t is not safe to trif1e with the affec-
tions of the factory girls of Providence.
They are expensive commodities, and
if damaged have to be paid for at
ruinous rates. An imprudent but
wealthy bachelor of sixty-nine was
wont to rise ut six o'clock in the
mill with Julia Vallott. Julia became
sick, and he gave her pair of stout
shoes, and lent her his book of mort
cages to read. Afterward to took her
to ride, and in an unguarded moment
the ardor of the venerable swain led
him to make proposals of matrimony.
They were accepted, and when the
ancient lover, in his cooler moments,
desired to retreat, and offered dol
lar to settle with Julia, he found him
self caught in the gauzy meshes of
Julia's web. A suit for breach of
promise followed, and $4,000 was al
lowed by the intelligent jury as the
value of her venerable bachelor.

IT distance lends enchaatment to
the view, it must surely be admitted
that it as often leads to indifference.
The horrible events which for six
months and more have been passing
IN Persia, have nof, we will venture
to say, caused many inhabitants of
New York very poignant sympathy.
Ye there is recorded no more terrible
epoch in nations history. A tele-
gram from an officer of engineers, da-
ted from Teheran early in the month,
says that he arrived safely, as he
travelled with considerable force, but
fer the famine has completely dis
organized the country-=the road was
very unsafe for small parties. He
proceeds to say that the crops are
magnificent and the water abundant.
But the final stage of the famine is
more terrible to witness than the first.
The road is strewn with half-eaten
eorpses, and cannibalism is common.
