by the people Of his district. Nothing
but strong personal enmity can account
for his death and that of Judge Craw-
ford in tho way recited. And this fact
admitted to be such by every one
points more strongly than anything
else to the accusation Of Winn rs the

Judge Crawford was about so years
of age. He was regarded Us ono of the

a wife and two daughters, one about

Mr.. Harris was about 40 years old, a

The very wide ground occupied by
the Bastrop Republican in its replies of
yesterday to the TELEGRAPII, displays
an amount of feeling and "nssumacy,"
wholly unexpected. We assure our
contemporary that our purpose, in what
we said last week in answer to the Re-
publican, was to acquit oursclf of any
responsibility for the miserable condi-
ton in which Louisiana now finds her
self We do not understand the lscpub-
lic:ln as meeting this point Mt all, but do
understand that it avoids it by beating
tho bush and indulging in accusations
wholly foreign to the issue raised by
itself. This is, we presume, courageous
newspaper warfare. Not to leave the
Republicans own chosen field ,wo want
to ask it's editor Il question or two
Did you ever belong to tho Demo-
cratic party?
If you did, why did you?
If you are not Il Democrat now, please
reconcile your present attitude, your
support of Kellogg especially, with that
of 1870.

quest ought to be or defense, without

THE NEWSPAPER.

The NEWofAIEAs
An observation made recently, by an
extensive traveller and student, con-
corning tho mission and value of the
newspaper, has passed the rounds of
tho papers, and been read by nearly
every attentive newspaper reader. We
quote entirely from memory, but this
writer, illustrating the value of news
papers, pointed to the condition OF the
French pcasantry and that of the poor
American, stated the difference between
tho two in all matters of general infor-
nation, and, giving the advantage to
the American, set the credit down to
the general circulation of the newspaper
in this country. Our national pride,
although flattercd by the comparison,
must allow that the American is a
newspaper reader. He reads the paper
for many reasons-to be instructed, to
be entertained, amused, informed and
even aroused. But most readers read
the paper out of curiosity. This curios-
ity is the sarne stimulus that moves
two men to talk, neighbors to meet,
and keeps in motion tho social world.
1t is tho curiosity to know what is going
on. The newspaper conductor who
fails to meet this demand of the public,
must of necessity fail in his calling.
The newspaper, in short, Is the mo-
dunn through which the changes,
hopes, prospects and rumors of every
day life are regularly interchanged be-
tween man and man, parish and parish,
State and State, and those who have
most closely studied the subject know
best that the newspaper answering this
demand is the paper most sought after
and yields tho widest influence. Pub
lie Opinion absolutely demands life,
vigor and cnergy-and the worth of its
subscription money.
What, then, would the newspaper be
that fails to chronicle events passing
under the eye of it's conductor? 1t
might be reprint, a vehicle for essays,
ga knot on a log" or something of no
more intluncc, but certainly no news
paper. The editor is a sentincl-a
scout-to watch, to listen and report.
IIc can know, of himself, but little OF
the current news. of his section, but he
is expected to make his paper the reflex
of the news of the day. If he should
miss even a rumor passing from mouth
to mouth, he is just that much behind.
What the the public talks about, he is
expected to write about in fact, he is
expected to set the thoughts and
tongues of others going. "When it
(the press) uttcrs falsehood," said
Thomas Jefferson, "the party injured
is ITSELF" This is the great stake the
newspaper puts up. If il is not relia-
bic, it is nothing-a failure. 1t may
make errors, occasion chickering's, and
work injuries, but unless tho editor be
Il fool his paper will never intention
ally stray from the truth. The general
good tho fearless journal docs can not
be estimated.
