Frauds IN Rossier Parish"

AS speciman of Radical
statements, we publish the
following from the n. o. Re-
publican, of January 4th:
-.' Popaiation, White, 1906, cofd 9l70
Registration, - 5S7. (" 1895
NarmOth returned McEneyy 953
Aftidavits Of Judge Baker, Per.
.cy Baker and NJ. Thomas and
1900 other voters swear whole
sale intimidation was practiced
throughout the parish. Terrible
threats were made to revive the
fearful election massacre of four
years ago, at which several hun
drcd colored men were killed the
registered colored majority of
120S, 10 say nothing of the white
Republicans, was converted into
Il Democratic majority of 39S.-
TIE af1idavltS Of about 1900 men
deprived of vote in this parish
are OH file. A body of Ku-klux,
commissioned as coHstableS, did
the work.
The population of BoSsier
given, is by the census of 1870.
Since 1870, a large portion Of
our parish has been cut off to
Webster and Red River par
ishes, leaving the population
now about ten thousand. Our
Registered voters are 1882.
and this being near One-fOurth
OF our population, shows the
registration to be correct. But
this has not been questioned.
The article above shows our
total vote to have been Ij0S
and if we add to this the 1900,
who are said to have been de-
prived Of their votes, the mum
Der would be 2S0S, or 426 more
then the registration.
We deny the "wholesale
intimidation" and that there
ever was an "election masSa-
ere" in this parish. The Con
stables kept no one from vo-
ting, and we don't think they
are ku-kluX, as we have no
knowledge of sGch an organi-
ZHtiom in BOssier. Some OF the
800 afiilnts must be Ku-
kIuX themselves in order to
know the members of that Or
ganization.

Since our last issue, the
NEWS in political affairs from
New Orleans has been of in
terest, but no light is given as
to the clearing up of the mud
die.
a quorum has been obtained
in the Senate by seven Repub-
lican senators coming into it
from the Durell Senate. This
indicates a weakening of the
Durell faction. ]. Sella Mar
tin, of Caddo, has resigned his
seat in the House. Cause not
stated. Pinchback has been
elected senator by the Durell
Legislature; which ought to
disgust the National Republi-
cans generally. Both McEnery
and Kellogg were inaugerated
OH last Monday; McEnery in
presence Of ten thousand and
Kellogg of fifteen hundred.
The decision of the State Su-
preme Court as to which was
the legal election returning
board that was promised to be
given on the 18th inst, has
not yet been rendered.

FISHING SUPPLIES.-As fish
ing parties are in vogue here
all the year round, and as
some of the members of these
parties may be at a loss to
know how TO sandwich the
staple articles of their supplies
we publish the following "order
for supplies" recently sent to
an Americas (Ga,) grocer, and
evidently written by one who
had given the subject his pro-
foundest study:
Dear Sir.-Myself and a
couple of friends leave this
morning on a fishing excursion
and You will please send lis, by
the bearer, the following artic-
les, which, You prefer it, you
can charge to either Jack
Brown or Ben Locket. Either
Is t, e safest:
-Four pounds of salt and a
small caSk of whiSkey.
Ten pounds Of lard and a
large jug of whiSkey.
One canvaSSed ham and six
quart bottles of whiSkey.
: Three good, stout fishing
lines and three pOcket-tiasks of
whfskey.
One paper of large Limerick
hooks and a gallon of whiSkey
in any old vessel you don't use
about the store.
Also send one pound ofsugar
and i small jug of whiskey.
Hurriedly, yours.
PHIL. Cook.
2. S.-As we shall be gone
several days, aud as the snakes
are bad on the river at this
season, my physician has just
stepped in and suggested that
we had better take along a
little whiskey. Send it, and
enter it on your books with
other items above. Pc.

California is going quite ex-
tensively into the raising of
cotton. And in order to raise
it, its lands have to be irriga..
ted The great argument,
that has been used to entice
the Southern people to that
State has been, that the rails
ing OF other products there,
would be more profitable than
the raising of cotton here
This arguments proved false.
by the fact above stated. The
able bodied man here USING
only his own labor, can make
more money by farming than
he can Ill any Pat of the
United States. and he will
make his money on fewer
acres Of land.

The State engineer reports
that the cutoffs in the Missis-
siPpi at Terripin neck and
the Davis plantation made
since the war have so lowered
the water Of the river both
above and below them that
levees are not required to be
as high as formerly. From
the mouth of Red river to near
the Arkansas line, the river
is reported as lowered by five
feet. on an average.

In the parish OF B0ssSer the
frauds were accomplished by
crOwding the cOlored men from
the polls by armed bodies of
men. This is the parish Tcoun-

dered in 1868.
We take the above from the
address of our colored lcgisIa-
ture to the people Of the U. s.
This is all they allege against
Dossier, and our people can see
how near they can stick. to the

altogether false. To make the

As, the white and colored
races have, been put upon po-
litical and civil equality, why
are they classified separately
in taking the census and in
registering voters ! Surely,
our rulers do not consider the
abolition of slavery simply
an experiment to be tried, and
if found injurious to be cor
rected by re-enslaving the
blacks.

lie improvements since the war
than during our whole exist
ence before, although since
the war our wealth has not
been a fourth Of what it was.
The great revolution has mrn-
ed the minds Of our people
Into new channels Of thought
and the troubled condition Of
public affairs has given, in
many instances, chances for
carrying out new ideas that
very likely would have failed
under the old regime. The
most valuable improvement
has been the closing Of Ben
oft bayou. Under the old reg
ime. it would have occupied
the legislatures attention for
years. Petitions and counter
petitions would have been got
ten up with injunction after
injunction. So also it would
have been in regard to the
closing Of Willow chute and
old river-our next great i'm
IprOvement.
Before the Wal it was a
great idea Of our people that
Bridges and ferries should be
made a source of revenue to
the parish And the idea was
carried out much to the pub
lie injury y perpetual dis
pute was kept up with Shreve-
port as to the ferry there and
we have paid out fully as
much money in lawyers fees
| and costs in suits in regard
to it as the ferry ever protited
Us. 1t HOW belongs wholly
to Shreveport and we are glad
to be rid Of the elephant. The
new idea now prevailing is
that no revenue should be
gotten from bridges and fer
ries, that ferries and costly
bridges should be simply kept
up by tolls and that all other
bridges should be toll free.
In carrying out this idea tolls
have been abolished at Benoit
bayou dam and Cross bayou
bridge, and splendid bridges
have been built over Big and
| Little Muscle Shell and Aliga-
tor bayou and Red shute on
the Minden and Shreveport
road simply for the right to
take toll at them for four years
and eight months. At the eX-
piratiOn Of which time they
are to be toll free. Bodcau
: bridge is to be a toll bridge in
: permanence and if the present
tolls can keep it up we should
be abundantly satisfied. Who
that has travelled the upper
Shreveport road from Bellevue
does not remember bodcau fer
ry! Now it is a thing of the
past and at its site a splen-
did bridge spans the lake.
This bridge is half a mile in
. length with all the benches

In a case in bankruptcy in hi
cago a few lays ago,it was held by
the Court that u wife may not
only enter into partnership with
her husband and carry on bust
ness for her own separate inter
est with him, but that she may
enter upon the same relation with
another won,an's husband. The
question at issue involved a de-
cision touching the powers OF mar
ried women to make binding con.
tracts, and the jurisdiction al
courts of bankruptcy in the prem
Uses. The principles thus enuh-
Grated are Of general Importance.
The modern doctrine in equity,
now seems to be that Il married
woman can hold her separate

it, and that it can I've subjected t"
