A PICTURE OF THE STR,

A PICTURE OF THE SITUA
TIoN.-Kellogg is making the
public money fly. About $780,
600 is dealt out by him to the
republican country newspapers,
for the single item of publish
ing the bogus laws of the bogus
Legislature. A thousand other
avenues are being opened
through which to divide the
peoples money among his adj
herents.
While Kellogg is thus en-
gagged in stealing, Grant stands
by with his army and says to
the plundered people of the
State, "you id rebels, if you
refuse to deliver your money to
my man Kellogg and let him
just rob on to his hearts con-
tent, I'll shoot your frank
lin Sun.

receive. Serves us right for

From the Shreveport I'm. !
At this distance from thu
sence OF action We may not he
in a condition to Judge, but il
occurs to us, as it will to the
people throughout the country
parishes generally, that the
people of New OrIeans-espe
cially those extreme gentleman
who were SO ultra anti-radieal
that their delicate stomaehs
could not bear even the fusion
or liberal movement-are prov.
ing untrue TO their protesta.
tions and their political code.
1t appears-and it mortifes rs
to say sO-that the citizens are
permitting their city to be used
as a stronghold, a baronial
castle, as it were, whence issue
forth armed bands of robbers
to harry and Cypress the people
of the parishes, without any
effort to check them, so far as
We can learn. For every Metro.
| pOlitan who leaves New Or
leans on such service there
should be at least one citizen
to follow and aid the country.
The members of the city
government, and the city men,
bers of the McEnery Legisla-
ture, all elected by democrats,
are i'll great part responsible
for the fact that the Metropoli-
tans are not with us. Ailthat
most of them required was an
assurance of pay, but this the
city government would not
guarantee-prObably thinking
it the part of wisdom to give,
To say the very least of it, a
quasi endorsement of Kellogg.
Not only this, but some of our
gunpowder members of the
Legislature discussed the idea
of taking the Metropelhans.

ry, were in favor of wiping

ment-which, under the cir
cumstanees, would have been

regarded rs an evidence OF the
highest order of Legislative
talent.
Be all this as it may, the

parishes are BY no means salts

the leaders in New Orleans.

The objection to Kellogg's
administration does arise from
the fact ofhis belonging to any
certain party, but from the
manner in which he has foisted
himself upon an unwilling peo-
pie; from the unprecedented
manner in which he has had
himself placed in an Office for
which he was defeated. If we
had believed he was elected to
the office or had been defeated
by fraud, we would not only
raise no objection TO his occu-
plying the position, but would
be a willing supporter of his
administration, fits conduct
deserved such support; but the
proof is too strong to the con-
trary for MS to counsel submits
sion to a usurpation-
That Kellogg was elected
Governor of this State there is
not shadow of proof, and has
been so decided by a learned
committee of that party the
hatred of which is said to be
the only cause of dissatisfaction.
We have no hatred for the
party because it denied us that
liberty which its name implies
it is bound to protect. If its
practice in our midst conform
ed to its professions we would
be a Republican to-day; but it
is only known among us as a
name assumed by those who
would deprive as of our right
of franchise and despoil US of
our living to sustain them in
profiigacy and debauchery.
These are facts which the well
informed Republican wrong
their people and imperil their
party by Withholding from
them.-lDelhi Chronicle.

Union and one Territory free

The remark of Mayor MediIl
when asked if he would RIM
again for Mayor of Chicago
reflects but little credit upon a
public service which unfortun-
ately has but few such dignitied
and worthy characters as Mr..
Medill. "There isn't political,
or social, or pecuniary induce
ments enough in Chicago"
said he, "te hire me, not if the
unanimous vote of the city
were added. | have had
enough" Chicago has never
had SO valuable a Mayor before
and 1t is not likely it will ever
have another such.

Ccushatta Bluff.

ago the raft had been cleared
from Red River up to four miles
above this bluff. Thus is eX-
posed a point on the river the
best as a shipping point be-
tween Shreveport and Fulton.
Coushatta bluff is twenty-four
miles north Of Shreveport by
the land lines, and thirty by
the roads. 1t can be reached
with ease from all points of the
country to the east. Across
the swamp at that point is only
a distance of four miles. A
road leading west from the
bluff would pass, for near a
mile, up the river, which flows
there a short distance towards
the east. Then the south bank
of Elmer's bayou would be
struck, which bayou, flowing
directly west into Red bayou,
gives an excellent position for
a road on its banks to within
a quarter of a mile of the high
lands on the west. This last
quarter Of a mile is quite low,
and would have to be bridged
Thus it will be seen that at
this point the best road any
where on Red River can be
constructed across the swamp,
now that the raft will not
cause its continual overflow
By this road would turn al

it. Indeed just across. at thi:
point, must pass a railroad

pletely to outfank Shreveport
From the facts detailed
above, the owners of the lane
at the Bluff have it in contem
2 plation to lay out a town there
and sell lots during this sum
mer. As there is already
, town Of Coushatta in the State

Business men almost universally recognize
the necessity of Fire Insurance. in order topro-
tect themselves from the great risks in bust
ness, and in fact merchant would not be con-
goods. While all, therefore, recognize the
necessity of insuring their property, many fail
to see that their lives also have a certain in
sured value to their families, especially
those that have no capital, as their labor
is the sole support of their families. which in
case of death is lost to them. The only
means by which this value NAV be insured is
by means of a policy of Life Insurance in a
good company. One of the best of these is
the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Philadelphia, in which policies may lie obtained

A Wonderful Case.

The Geneva co. Times contains a
letter from Mr.. L. l.. Bane, of that
place, giving the dates and quantities OF
fluid taken from him by his physician
by "tapping," since December, 1870,
from which it appears that he was
"tapped" % times, and l, 419 pounds of
fluid taken from him. He has lately
been cured by the use of Bethesda
spring water sent him from Waukesha.
Many cases of dropsy have been cured
by the use Of this " Bethesda" but
this cure is really wonderful, as such
cases of dropsy are incurable in the
hands of the best medical men.
We have known of Bethesda S wonder
full cures in liver and kidney complaints,
such as indigestion, constipation, and
diseases proceeding from these difficult
ties, viz: diabetes and Bright's dis
ease.
The late Chief Justice Chase was
cured of complicated liver and kidney
complain { by the use of Bethesda.
Associate Justice Field says it will
cure any case of kidney disease.
