|. BEST TIME TO PAINT HOUSES. The Tech
noiogist says The best time tor painting
the exterior OF buildings is late in autumn or
during the winter. Paint then applied will
endure twice as long as when applied in ear
Iy SUNNI CIR or in hot weather. In the former
it dries slowly and becomes hard, like a
glazed surface. not easily affected by the
weather oil worn off by the beating of storms.
But in hot weather the oil in the paint soaks
into the wood at once as into a sponge, leav-
ing the led nearly dry and nearly ready TO
crumble off. This last difficulty. however,
might in a measure be guarded against,
though at an increased expense. by first
going over the surface with raw OIL. By
pain ing in cold weather enc annoyance
might certainly be escaped-namely, the col
lection of flies on the fresh paint.

0AEAP FIRE 9LARM.-J. II. j. says
Take ga old gun or pistol put a heavy
charge Of powderin it,.and put it in the most
dangerous place in house or barn Cnear the
rafters in the latter;) and If the building
should take fire, 1t would immediately rive
the alarm, and thus might save many lives
and much valuable property.

any Interior motive, he should choose to
use the power which he received
through the influence of the Repub-
lican party to defeat that party he has a
perfect right to do so. The wisdom of
such course of conduct is question for
himself alone to decide. One thing is
certain, the sooner he learns to regard
himself politically as colorless the better
1t will be for him. Let him look at the
questions of the day in the light Of the
day. Gratitude has no place in politics.
Ii the colored man thinks that it would be
better for the country at large to remove
the power from the Republican to the
Democratic party, let him give his sup
port IN accordance with that opinion. If
the party which has heretofore supported
freedom, equality, civil and political
rights, the education and enlightenment of
all classes should abandon these principles
1t would by that abandonment forfeit all
CLAIM derived from its past services. As
yet, however, it stands firm to them; and
while it does SO there is no fear of its
downfall, certainly none of the desertion

pose the majority Of the rank and file of
supporters in the Southern part OF the

TIE TWO CONVENTIONS.

We are assured by the organs O: tie
party which is about to hold ''people's
convention" that there is no material diff.
ference in the objects of that gathering
and those of the convention of colored
men now in session in Mechanics Ipssi-
tute. We are glad to hear this. and hope
to see the statement verified. For the
convention that met yesterday has already
entered upon the consideration of mat
tiers in which all good citizens feel an in,
terest, as will be seen by the report of the
proceedings. And we have grave doubts
that the other convention will follow them
very closely. We think the aims respect
lively OF the two conventions are at variance
IN more respects than one. The colored
people meet in the interest and foy
the preservation O, law. order, peace
and material prosperity. They come to-
gether to strengthen The hands OF
the State government. The prime
moving cause of the other meeting
Will be made known in good season when
1t Will be found to be an attempt at polit-
zeal revolution by appealing to Congress
to overturn the State government by force,
and either hand us over to the tender
mercies of the Democracy lin which case
a programme has been prepared. with
full cast of characters), Or put us to the
expense of new election. If the fact
that one party is striving to keep up the
excitement which the other seeks to allay
proves their objects are identical, then
our contemporaries are entitled to !. yer.
diet IN their favor. The eolored people.

and as the outrages in Grant parish hao
been instigated by political reasons al
war with legitimate Republican govern
ment, State and national, it would mol
have been surprising if an attempt had
been made by political desperadoes to pre-
vent the meeting of the convention at
Natchitoches on last Wednesday.
The fact that that convention did meet,
was numerously attended and was pre-
sided over by Lieutenant Governor An
tome, who issued, while Acting Governor,
| the order for the arrest OF the Grant
parish murderers, is highly significant
that the reign of political outlaws in this
State is fast coming to an end.
Another favorable circumstance is the
total abnegat;on of color as main quail
! fication for Office. The convention took
| much higher grounds, and resolved to Sc
lect candidate who possessed other and
| better qualifications as the representative
OF the fourth congressional district of this
State in Congress. AS we have reason to
believe, Lieutenant Governor Antoine
favored the nomination Of Mr.. Smith
solely on account of his fitness for the
position, he has shown & disposition to
ignore color in the selection of public SER
wants that might be honorably followed
by all classes of voters. And in conclu-
sion, the REPUBLICAN congratulates the
Republicans of the fourth congressional
district Oh their prospect of having
a representative in the forty-third Con-
gress who will faithfully and earnestly
discharge all the duties that devolve upon
him as representative Of the people. A
long residence ID the State, during which
he has held many IMPORTANT public posi-
tons. always discharging his public du-
ties satisfactorily, has .endered him IA
mlliar with the present wants of our peo-
pie, particularly Of his own district. His
intelligence enterprise and public spirit
have already rendered him far more pop
ular In Shreveport, his place of residence,
than is the common lot of Republicans in
Caddc parish, and as he has lived in
Washington, has influential friends there
and is accustomed to public service, it is
very probable he viii be able to exercise
at once an influence that will make him
still more popular with his constituents
Of all political parties. No young man
has recently entered the national field of |
politics in this State under more favorable
auspices than Mr.. Smith, and as his nom
lnation is considered equivalent to an
election. we trust the Republicans of his
district will never have cause to regret
the confidence reposed IN him. ~

BEHIND THE TIMES.

Our neighbor. the Picayu.c, critic:sinc
! an article published in this paper sons
days since. cegales its readers with re.
view Of the history of the country for the
last thirteen years, in which it attributes
the wa- to 1.-the result Of an accident"
asserts that during that long period tie
ascendency OF the Republican party has
been maintained by a minority Of the
people, and, in conclusion. displays Il,
utter ignorance of the present political
condition Of the country by prophesylng
that "the time is near at hand when the
colored man will be obliged to turn for
protection and support to the very people
he has been helping to ruin.'' meaning his
former masters and their Democratic adj
herents.
Now, the very point of the case as re.
CARDS the colored man is Just this, that,
through the exertions and success of the
Republican party, he does not need pro-
lection, politically, from any party: he is
placed in position to protect himself.
Politically he is voter, citizen, not a
colored man at all; for there is absolutely
no distinction Of color in ballots. If he
chooses to support the Republican party
from recognition ofthe fact that it's
principles are in accordance with the law
Of justice and right, and, therefore, pro-
motive of the best interests of the whole |
country, be, by so doing, displays his own
clear-sightedness = that common sense |
and patriotism which distinguishes intel
igent and honest citizenship: but if, from
