Commonwealth our remarks, last
week, in the Hamp. Henderson af-
fair, we were slightly inaccurate in
some of the facts, which prove the
Hickmans entirely free from any
completely, at any time, with the in
famous wretch, who has paid dearly
the penalty of his crime. Thomas
Hickman never did 60 on his bond.
Hamp. was examined in this Town,
before Justice Fox, at that time JUS
tice of the Peace, J. H. G. Barlow for
the prosecution and H. S. Losee for
the defence. The case was dismiss
ed for want of evidence. No bond
was required and none given. The
Grand Jury of Grant afterwards
found a true bill against .Hamp. for
murder and rape, and he was bailed
out, his father and brother being his
bondsmen-a straw bond.

THAT REPORTER.-The Ozark
has received an acquisition, since
her first visit here, a special re-
porter for the New Orleans Repub-
lican, and you may bet Your ribs
he will do. We have his first effu-
sion from Colfaz, Alexandria and
Harrisonburg,h written with De-
Klyne's log before him, and from
first to last it is q tissue Of non
sense and sensational lies, and of
course abuse and SANDER Of our
people, and fu!some praises Of the
buzzard crew of the Ozark. We
expect these things Of the ''Claim-
ant" to the executive chair of Lou
isiana, and only jot them down to
inform our people, that the infa-
nous game is still going on.

FIRE.-A fire occurred, on Sun
day night, at half past nine, in a
small tenement building, on De
Soto street, in the rear of the Town.
AT the breaking out Of the fire, no
one was about the premises, all
being at Church, hence the alarm
came too late to do good. Both
Fire Companies were on hand, and
prevented the further spread of
flames, high Westerly wind was
blowing at the time. The build
irg was entirely Consumed and all
its contents; it was owned by Mary
Gustin an old colored woman, and
was rented out to colored people.

- The Convention of he Zoo
docs, at Natchitoches, has been held,
and one George L. Smith, of Caddo,
received the nomination easily on the
second ballot, which was as follows:
Smith %, Henry c. Myers 4, Harry
Lott l, Governor J. Madison Wells l,
and some chap from DeSoto 2. The
whole affair was a nicely cut and
dried one, after the most approved
tricks Of Kellogg and crew; Antoine,
notre petit negre, was on hand and
bossed the job. Smith was elected,
last Fall, as a regular Fusionist to
the Legislature from the Parish Of
Caddo, and took his seat accordingly
and was with that body in all its sit
tings and acts. But Kellogg wants
more aid in the perjured testimony
line in his case before Congress and
hence this nomination. The New
Orleans Republican played its part
handsomely in the little affair, wrote
some beautiful and touching edito-
rails in favor of the "colored mans"
undoubted right to the nomination,
and was so particular and candid as
to designate Harry Lott as the COM
ing man and brother, in the most
fulsome words laid it on thick and
sweet on dear Harry. Harry be-
lieved and swallowed it all, and was
actually Ounce enough to leave his
business in New Orleans and go all
the way to Natchitoches to thank the
Convention in person for the high
honor. Well. he got one vote for his
trouble and goes back to New Orleans
with white flea in his ear. Thus
ends another grand farce Of tn e
Usarper.

No other proof is needed that the
Bayonet Legislature deemed them
selves usurpers than the passage
(among others equally rcpulsive) OF
section eight of the notorious act No.
az, approved by his de fcto Excellency,
Kellogg, March ID, 1873.
A people governing themselves
through representatives of their own
choice could never have sanctioned
such atrocious tyranny.
BE it further enacted, etc., That the
taxpayers who are now, or shall be-
come, delinquent by the non-pay-
mept of taxes on real estate as pro-
vidcd in this act, and shall have been
so returned to the Auditor of Public
Accounts, the Auditor shall publish in
the official journal of the parish in
which such delinquent resides, or by
public notice when there is no official
journal, by three insertions, within
ten days, the name, residence of. and
amount due from such delinquent tax
payer shall after thirty days forfeit his
right to bring suit, or he a witness for
or in his own behalf before any JUS
tice, parish or district or State court,
and every court having jurisdiction
within the State shall deny and refuse
to issue civil process of any kind or
nature whatever in his own name or
for his own benefit unit! he snail, if a
resident of the parish of Orleans, have
procured from the Auditor of Public
Accounts, or if a resident ola country
parish from the Tax Collector thereof,
certificate setting forth that all such
claims for delinquent taxes and costs
thereon against said delinquent tax
payer have been paid.
When we consider that the burden
some taxation imposed upon our peo-
pie has left thousands without the
means of paying the taxes, this whole
sale outlawry shows the animus of
those who devise it.
See what i t attempts. Take the
case of a widow, for example land
there are many such), who has in the
preceding years mortgaged her home
to pay the exorbitant taxes imposed
upon property until she has exhaust
ed her resources; if she is insulted, or
beaten, or robbed, or turned out of
doors, she is, according to statute,
without any redress, for she cannot be
a witness; and justice is denied her
She is treated worse than convicted
felon, who can be witness for the
protection of his person.
If the intellect of the cormorants
who devised the above statute had
been equal to their malignancy, the
people Of the State would be in a
most deplorable condition. But it
happens that such statutes have no
binding force. Article 10 Of the con-
stitution says: "All courts shall be
open, ond every person, for injury
done him in his land, goods, person,
or reputation, shall have adequate
remedy by due process of law, and
Justice administered without denial OF
unreasonable delay and article 6
makes it impossible to condemn or
outlaw a person without trial by
jury.-[N. 0. Picayune.

it's contents. To cut the matter
short, as far as Rapides is concern

| A medicine that hos done more than
all the prescriptions of the pharmaco-
paia to protect t II Q human system
against the bodily ills superinduced by
unhealthy surroundings, is certainly
worthy of universal confidence. 1t is
mainly on account of its extraordinary
preventive properties that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is so exceedingly pop
ular in localities subject to the vista
ton of miasmatic fevers and other dis
eases produced by empoisoned air. A
family that has escaped sickness during
q sickly season in consequence of
using the Bitters as a safeguard, is a
living advertisement Of the virtues of
the preparation. The whole neighbor-
hood realize the fact. ct couldn't
have believed it," says one: "I
scarcely credited the advertisements !:
but one must believe what one Sees"
says another. cit is the very thing
we need in this unwholesome section
of country" remarks third. And the
result is that the instinct of self-de-
fence, the first law of nature; induces
three fourths of that community to OBJ
tain supply of the great vegetable
antidote before the next sickly season
isets in. In winter when the system
requires extra vigor and elasticity to
enable it to battle the effects of damp
and cold Bitters will be found particu-
larly serviceable. Rheumatism will
not be apt to fasten upon muscles and
nerves that have been braced up by
this excellent iuvigorant and nervine ;
nor will the seventies Of the season.,
which hare such disastrous effect on
the pulmonary organs of the feeble and
delicate, be likely to exercise the. same
untoward influences in cases where the
stomach and the external surface ofthe
body (Which always sympathizes with
the digestive organs) have been toned
and stimulated by a conrse of the resto
rativc. The fits of indigestion and ir-
Irregularities of the bowels which pro-
ceed frcm sudden changes of weather
may always be averted by a timely use

WORK FOR THE CONVENTION.

Orleans o Il Monday next. w e
have advice to the effect that des-
pite the. hard times, it will be both
large and respectable.
Its assembling is q most impor-
tant event. 1t will represent nine
teen twentieths of the taxes of the
State, and the work set before it is
to devise the ways and means to
prevent the impecunious one tenth,
and the large mass of nontax pay
ers from stealing the last cent OF
those who own the property Of the
State.
There is an immense amount Of
work before the Convention. Con-
grcss is about to assemble and
needs light to enable it intelligently
settle the Louisiana case. It must
be made thoroughly to understand
how United States Judge, aided
by Federal bayonets, overturned
the legally elected State Govern
ment of Louisiana. The nature of
the present government must be
thoroughly ventilated. 1t can cas-
lily be shown that the only obedi-
ence to Kellogg is forced obedi-
ence. 1t can be shown that, un-
der his reign, the credit of the
State has been ruined, property de-
preciated and the whole State
placed under the hammer for taxes
that the people cannot pay.
There has been great reaction
at the North against the infamies
of the Radical party. Perhaps a
sober, second thought may lead
them to do us late justice. Much,
therefore, depends On the wisdom
of this preliminary Convention.

- It will be we'll remembered
that at the election, last Fall, among
the many complaints unjustly urged
against Captain Hooe, the then Su-
pervisor Of Registrati.n, by the Rad
icals and their allies, was the INSULT
cient number of polling places then
fixed in the Parish. The Certificate
shriekers were particularly sweet on
this point n d howled eloquently
about it. Well, to show the sinceri-
ty and fairness of these same Radi-
Gals, and the nice difference between
preaching and practice, we will mere
ly gently state that at the election
last Fall, under Captain Hooe's su-
pervision, there were established and
opened sirteen polling places Or vo-
ting precincts, and now at the cleo
ton called for the Oath inst, the
Registrar has only named and fixed
flee precincts orpolling places. Just
think of it! only .fce precincts in
Rapides, when Radicalism has the
call and power, and not growl from
the Certificate shriekers! These pre-
cincts are Alexandria, Pineville, Co.
tile, Lecomte and Cheneyyille. Not
precinct in the West, where there
are over $50 whites and no negroes,
and none on the North side of Red
river, where there are over $50 white
voters and no negroes! This too
plainly proves the aims of the Kel-
logg dynasty, and what they won't do
is not recorded.
We merely mention this little af-
fair en- PEASANT to show the difference
between the two parties, and to place
on record another dirty and unfair
shuttle of Radicalism in favor Of the
negro and against the white man.
As the present election is all bogus,
a fraud and only picayune side
show, it can affect nothing, but it
plainly shows what we are to expect

Rich Find near the Colorado River.

The editor of the los Angeles Express has been shown rock from a new gold and silver mining dis trict east of the Colorado river, in the famed Wallapai district of Arizona. Nat. Moss and Ed. Burch are the happy discoverers, and they have found several ex- ceedingly rich gold and silver bearing leads. They have had the ore assayed, and the surface rock goes over $400 to the ton. Many of the lOdeS are over five feet in width. These men are on their way to San Francisco to confer with capitalists, to induce them to bring out machinery and go to work at once. The exact locality of their discoveries is 30 miles south of Beale Springs, the same distance east of the Needles, and 20 miles from the saw-mills. A good wagon road runs within four miles of the place.
