The RECEPTION or THE CANDIDATES
BY THE CITIZENS or OPELoUsAs.-The
Committees not being able to learn at
what hour the speakers would arrive in
ON midst were unable to givet1 such
a reception as they desired. Il 4ttwo
arrived Messrs. Ellis and Gem on
Saturday night, and the rest different
times during the day on Snday and
Monday. As soon as it was known by
the Committees that most of the gentle
men had arrived, they repaired to the
hotel where apartments had been provi-
ded for their accommodation, and did
all in their power for their comfort and
pleasant stay during their short sojourn
in our midst.
The reception room was crowded du-
ring the whole Of their stay by gentle
men, not only living in our little town,
but by many from different portions of
the parish. Politics were the order of
the day of course. A perfect harmony
seemed to exist between all. No abuse
of party or pfftisans was entered into
by the visitor, but all seemed determ-
med, after listening to the opinions of
the different gentlemen representing the
three great parties of the State, that in
the gathering the past should be blOtted
from memory, and naught discussed but
the present condition and the bright
future which for the first time in many
years we look forward to as almost a
certainty.
We noticed that the largest crowds
were generally gathered around the Gov
ernor and Gen. Sheridan. There was a
sprinkling of Last Ditchers" in both
crowds, who seemed to heartily endorse
all that was said by the Governor, and
never failed to join in the laugh at the
merry anecdotes of the General. The
houses of MANY of the citizens were
opened for the reception of each and
every II of the candidates and gentle
men who accompanied them, and invi-
tations poured in upon them from all
| quarters of our town, but they preferred
remaining together where they could
receive their friends sans. cerem0Rie, in
the room provided by the committee.
Great credit is due to the two commit
tees for the able manner in which they
performed their duties, and the arrange
ments forth comfort of our distinguish
ed guests.

TERRIBLE DEATH.-Tt is again our
painful duty to chronicle the occurrence
Of one of the most fearful accidents
which from time to time startle
and hOrrify our community. Mrs.
Mozart Dugas. daughter of Dor
estan Prince, of FaHsse P0inte, COM
mitted suicide week before last I'M
der peculiarly horrible circumstances.
Mrs. MI. had been suffering from men,
tai alienation, caused by the death of
her husband, who was killed during tie
war at the battle of Mansfield. Under
the influence Of an attack of this ma
tJre, the unfortunate lady saturated
her clothing with coal oil, and set them
on fire. Her father came to the rescue,
but from the natureof the circumstance
his help was Hilavailing, and he was
himself seriously burned in his ineffec-
tual attempts to extingnfsh the flames.
The injuries to Mrs. M. were necessarily
fatal and she survived but a short time.

MURDER.-On Thursday night of last
week, while Louis Sholars, Esq, a well
known young lawyer, resident of our
town, was passing along the street lust
below the grocery store of Mr.. Mat. Lee
Wy, returning home from church, he was
shot and killed Instantly by some party
who had evidently been lying in wait to
intercept him. The weapon used was n
dOuble-barrel shot gun and nine buck
shot were lodged in his breast. Mr..
Sl0Lars had just started out la life with
bright hopes and fair prospects ahead of
him, ami his untimely death Is a. sad
blow to his hereaTed home circle. The
circumstances surrounding and the sls-
picions a~ttaehingto this fataIOccurrenee
are too rife in the community to admit

ANOTHER EsTIMATEs-Mr. CAN'T now
estimates the strength of the Democrat
ic-Reform party in this parish, since his
accession thereto by virtue of the nom
nation Saturday before last, a eighteen
hundred votes. He says that he would
have received one thousand votes as an
independent candidate, which added to
the eight hundred the party already had,
increases its strength toneighteen hum
dred. As, according to this estimate,
Mr.. CAN'T is the big end of the concern,
he, and not the party, ought to have
nominated the ticket. just think: if he
had hunted up three others with a thous-
and votes each, like himself, they would
have four thousand votes, more than
tWo-tIrirds of the entire vote of the par
ish. Their election then would have
been an absolute certainty, and all the
power and influence of politicians, con
ventions and parties, could not prevail
against it. As it is, eighteen hundred
the party's eight, and Mr.. Gantt's tents
still low down in the minority of voters
Of this parish. But lie the party can
manage to gain a few more such recruits
as Mr.. Can't, even if they won't support
the ticket, the recruits would be elected
anyhow. Such a party could with pro-
priety be called personal party, for it's
voters would belong TO q few persons.
