The Shreveport Times says: Some OF
our railroad men predict that in twelve
months from this time ten trains day
will be running into Shreveport. The
river has obstinately persisted in re-
naming down at the most inconven-
lent time possible. With good river
Shreveport would now be alive with
people-planters from the interior and
railroad employees from the West. A
gentleman who reached here a few
days since from St. Louis, expressed
the opinion that if we had a good river
not less than 5000 people would arrive
here within the next two months, some
to look out for investments or settle
ment in the city, and others to 60 into
Texas. He remarked that all through
the West Shreveport was-talked about
by all classes as one of the most prom
Using places in the Southwest. But
the low stage of the river prevents us
from realizing from all this the many
advantages that would result if we en-
joyed high water navigation.

A strike Of the longshoremen or le-
wee laborers took place in New Orleans
Thursday, the dissatisfied workmen
demanding an advance from three to
four dollars per day. Large crowds
of the strikers paraded the streets and
up and down the levee headed by
bands of music, and displaying flags
and banners. Wherever they found
men still at work they endeavored to
induce them to desist, and in most
cases succeeded by moral suasion; but
in one instance they were ordered off
by a contractor pa1ned Capt. VIM.
Barnes, when they assaulted him with
pistols and stones and murdered him.
This is the only deed of blood commit
ted by the rioters. Latest adyices re-
port everything quiet, though the de-
mands of the workmen have not been
generally acceded to.

ticket, as the candidate from this Dis
trict, 'and substituted Hon. C. B. OAR

this action Of the committee, but rath-

could have defeated holland. If all

Peterson's lMagasine for November is
on our table, ahead of all others. It is
All unusually good number, even for
this first-elass lady's book. The prin-
cipal steel plate, ga Game Two Can
Play At" is from an original picture,
and is q capital illustration of one of
the best stories we have read for
months. A prominent feature of this
magazine is its copyright novelties,
two of which appear in this number,
HIindsay's Luck, by Fanny Hold gson,
and Bought With A Price," by Mrs.
Ann S. Stevens, both very far super
ler to the continued stories to be found
i'll magazines generally.
But, as a contemporary says, the
stories, the fashions, the patterns, in
short, everything in Peterson is the
best Of its kind. The price of this
magazine, too, is another thing in its
favor. 1t is but two dollars a wear.
The prospectus for 1873 has been re-
ceived, and we find that the prices to
clubs are astonishingly low, viz, three
copies for $3.50 with superb mezzo-
tint Q6 inches by 2W, "Christ Weep
ing Over Jerusalem" to the person
getting up the. club; OF six copies for
5000, and a copy of the ma gazine for
1873 as a premium to the person get
ting up the club; or eight copies for
$1,000, and both an extra COPY and
the premium engraving to the person
getting up the club For large clubs
the prices are even lower, choice of
SIX splendid premium engravings, for
farming, is given for fifty cents extra

Mr.. Kellogg and his fellow circle

for Napoleonville next morning to at

Messrs. Pierre Landry, c. N. Lewis,
JIlo D. Cantey, Morris Marks and
other of our home politicians accom-
panied the Frazer party down to Burn
sides Orange Grove plantation, where
a meeting was held after dark, which,
we are informed, was almost as nu-
merously attended as the one in town.
A squad of mounted men with torches
came up from St. James to swell the
crowd, and the speaking was kept up
until late hour.
A noticeable feature in the meeting
here was the lack of enthusiasm
among the audience, but this may be
owing to the simple fact that our peo-
pie are naturally less demonstrative
than the generality Of American citi-
zens upon such occasions.

a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

friends and the counsel Of some of the
NEST. prominent citizens Of this com
nunity, we have this week reconsid-
cred our former action, and replaced
/ the Fusion State ticket at the head OF
our columns nay, we have gone fur
| ther, and, contrary to our previous
determination, have also loisted the
Fusion parish ticket.
We are fully aware that this move
will expose us to the charge of incongr
sistency, but we have always been
ready to confess an error and retract
a wrong step whenever made, regard
less Of what gossips may think or
say, and we do not hesitate to do so
now.
There, are many things connected
with the proper conduct of a news
paper which webbing young in the
profession-haye yet to learn; and
! one fact which we have but lately full
~ appreciated is, that in order to ac-
quire influence and weight journal
must represent the views and feelings
Of at least Il considerable portion of
the people forming the community in
which it is published. We committed
an error in supposing there was any
middle ground to stand upon in a
campaign like the present, where the
contest does not involve any question
Of the maintenance of the rights Of all
citizens without distinction, or of any
other established principle of our gov
eminent, but is essentially a battle
of honesty against corruption, and in
telligence against incapacity for the
control of the National and State
Governments and the restoration of
honest rule. Immediately after de-
claring the CHIEF independent, we
found ourselves standing compare
lively alone, without sympathizers or
companions in political belief, and
after reviewing the situation calmly
in all it's different lights, and advising
with those in whose integrity, capac-
ity and friendship we have every con-
fdence, we felt convinced that we
had taken a hasty and ll-advised step,
hence our present reconsideration.
We do not pretend to say that either
the State or parish Fusion tickets are
what we should wish them to be.
There are candidates upon them in
whose favor we never have been and
are not now prepossessed; but the
situation demands that we should Law
aside personal likes and dislikes, and
give q hearty support to that cause
the success of which augurs The most
good to the greatest number of peo-
=
pie.
If, by advocating one or two candi-
dates upon the Grant State and par
ish tickets, we should not aid in the
triumph of pernicious and disreputa-
BILE men connected with them, we
might be constrained to do so; but,
as we said above, no such middle
course can be taken conscientiously
in the present situation of affairs. We
are compelled to "take sidesu and
make 4 choice of the tickets in the
field, and we have done so. We hope
and believe the choice will meet the
almost unanimous approval of the
white citizens of this community, and
wish that we might say the same of
our colored friends.

Guilty over the schools. The Catholics, not con-
tent with a system which gives all denomina-
tions an equal chance, are clamorous for schools
under their own control. They want schools
in which the children of Catholics shall
be taught out of school books COM
PEELED under Catholic direction, and which
Shall be thoroughly and entirely Roman
Catholic in their teachings. In short, nothing
will satisfy them but that the schools shall he
Under exclusive Roman Catholic control, and
that the government shall bear the expense.
And they urge in behalf of their position that
UNCONVENTIONAL schools are fostered in En-
gland, and it is but justice that the same aid
should be given them in Ireland. To this "the
national educational league of Birmingham
responds to the effect that they are opposed to
UNCONVENTIONAL schools even in England. "The
Irish national educational league" of Belfast,
Ireland, likewise is in favor of maintaining the
present system, and Of aiding the Birmingham
league to obtain a secular system in England.
A portion of the British ministry are believed to
be in favor of granting what the Catholics de-
sire, while Others are opposed to such move
ment and favor the maintenance of the present
system. And here the matter as far as regards
the schools rests at present.-C0dege COtp0llt.
