YELLOW FRyER OF Shreveport Is not

Is unusually malignant and fatal. As
stated in our dispatches this morning,
ue,sops have been stricken dead with 1t in
The streets, and while many patients lin
ger, according to one one account, none
ret well. Shreveport, most Of our readers
know, is q town Of some commercial i'm.
portance, containing perhaps five or'six
thousand people, in Northwestern Lou.
isiana, some three hundred miles by
direct line from Baton Rouge. The
opinion Is expressed in q Little Rock
dispatch that the removal Of the "Red
River Rait'' has something to do with this
yellow fever visitation. The "Rait !"
which commences about thirty miles
above Shreveport and extends up the
river sixty or seventy miles and spreads
out to . width Of twenty to thirty miles,
Is an immense collection or trees and
driitwo9d. Being an obstruction to nayi.
CATION, several attempts have been made
to break up the "Rait" and remove 1t. 1t
was partiallyremov some forty yearsago
by The Government at an expense Of $780,.
900, but has formed again. Gen. BANKS
tried to clear q passage in, his operations
10 that region during the war, but unsuc.
cesslully. Another attempt is in progress
now, by private parties we believe. The
Yellow Fever poison being distinctly the
product Of decaying vegetable matter, It |
looks plausible that the disturbance Of the |
great mass oil .decayed vegetable mould

ravaging Shreveport. II it comes from
this origin. it will be likelyto atilict people

panic everything was dull enough
here, and no perceptible change can be
seen now. It would take two such
panics to make matters any worse in
this section.
-Haymaking is about through with,
and a greater amount has been put
into stack than at any other season.
The grasshoppers are niobling OF
the margins of the fall wheat fields,
In some places worse than in others.
With favorable weather and the assist
ance of the chineh bug, they may do
considerable damage. A great deal
of fall wheat has been sown.
-PATTY's MILL,-This is oar insti-
tuition, and one that is well worthy of
patronage and support. With the adj
dition of Cyrus Stout to the firm they
bring to bear practical experience of
years at the milling business. I took
occasion to look over their mill few
days since, and find that the mill is
strong and complete in every depart
ment., Owing to the crowd of custom
work they were compelled to move
their custom bolt up stairs, giving
them great deal more space on the
first floor. They have just completed
q contract to furnish four hundred
sacks of flour to Maj. Stubs. In or
der 70 have better facilities for the re-
ception and care of grain, they are
now at work on q grain warehouse
54x20 feet and eight feet high, on the
completion Of which It is hoped they
may be able to purchase and manu-
facture into flour a goodly portion OF
the wheat of this section. J.E.L.

EDITOR NEWS: The Hon. C. V.
Eskridge finds fault in the Ledger with
an article in a late number of THE
News. It don't hurt him at all, but
he is afraid it makes charges of
corruption against the city coun-
Gil. He finds these charges in
the following paragraph: SIN our
appreciation Of your legislative acts
zoe haze neUer deigRed to notice the
malignant rumorS that some fraction of
the money appropriated to the wagon
shop and like institutions of our city,
fOun d its way into the pockets OF any
one of your members etc. This di-
rect disclaimer he declares to be
charge against members of the council.
He then informs US that he was not
q member of the council when the
measures referred to were acted on,
and therefore his garments are pure.
Now who makes charges-the writer
eff the article complained of, who does
not ''deign to notice malignant ru-
mors," or C. v. Eskridge? Who ap-
plies them to the council and calls on
them for denial.
Mr.. G. VS. next exhibit of himself
is very bad. He pleads not guilty to
. charge not made In the indictment.
He says he never received any part of
the money voted to the wagon shop.
Well, Governor, why this anxious de-
NAL? Does the article in question say
you did? Have you not already said
it was charged on the council of which
you was ''not a member?" 1t looks
like a case of conscience. The feeble
attempt, Governor, to arrange your
motion and vote on the reputation
ordinance by impeaching the record, is
too. silly even for you; admit your ex-
PLANTATION and the transaction Is just
as fragrant. $685.
We think the Governor has been
making himself coat out of the article
of which he complains, and finding 1t
pinches him a little he bawls to the
city council for help. If the council
is responsible for the keeping Of this
gubernatorfal calf it should immedi-
atelY hasten to his relief before it is
too late. MILFORD.

desire that / should enter upon an
electioneering campaign, which 1 can

only to say that the majority of the

fifteen years, and know that / have
never sought Office, but have only been
the Instrument of the people; and
now, on mature reflection, have no de-
sire to recall any act of my life, public

detrimental to the character OF any OPP

the square, as the representative of the
working classes, of which I ann proud
to say the county must acknowledge
me as an humble member. have no
pledges to make and break; no prom
Ises to make for the sake of Office, and
