VIOLENT HAIL STORM Que of the most
destructive hail storms ever known 10 the V al
Icy of Virginia passed over the lower portion
of Shenandoah county on the 10th. The
Shenandoah Herald says: Hail fell as large
as hens eggs cutting everything to the ground.
The wheat fields cannot possibly make pasture
for any kind Of stock. The fruit trees and
forest trees are literally stripped Of their foliage,
apples, peaches, pums and cherries all lying
upon the ground. Coro fields are looking just
as barren as any old tallow fields. Gardens are
entirely ruined for this season. Clover fields
are cut shorter than any mower could possibly
have cut them. Many houses have been strip
ped Of every pane Of window glass in them.
The great deluge of water that came in auy
timbered locality gathered leaves and limbs
and bail In bodies and swept fencing and every
thing in its course
The hail covered the ground to the depth
Of three inches and embaukments to the depth
of three or fur feet were TO be found in places.
Hail stones three inches long we're picked up
and as much as wagon load was removed
from spring house the second day after the
storm An old gentleman by the name of Te-
walt was struck ty one of the stones and knock
ed down; large number of poultry WIS killed,
one calf was instantly killed by a single stone,
and the destruction to young fruit trees is al
most iucalculabIe. The loss 10 wheat, hay. corn,
fruit young orchards, poultry, damage to
houses, fenciog ADD other property will amount
to many thousands Of dollars aud falls upon a
very small community Of citizens. This is the
third bail storm that has visited the same Sec
ton within the last ten years

PROCLAMATION.
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD.

STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department,
New Orleans, July d, 1874.
Whereas, during the night of the ninth of July,
1874, on the Bayou Pierre road, in the parish of
Caddo thirteen miles from the city Of Shreveport,
one MANUEL MUNOS, an industrious and unoffend-
ing Spanard was called from his bed and cruelty
murdered in cold blood by body OF armed and
mounted men, claiming to belong to the so-ealled
White League of Caddo parish, on the false pre-
text that he had been carrying arms to negroes.
Whereas these same men subsequently proceeded
to rob the widow and fatherless children of the
said Nunez of all the money and valuables they
possessed, leaving them in a state of sickness and
utter restitution; and whereas such crimes are
disgrace to the State or community which tOler.
atAs them or permits them to 90 unpunished;
Now, therefore, 1, William Pitt Kellogg, Cover
nor of the State of Louisiana, with view, if pos
sbe, of bringing the perpetrators of this outrage
to justice. and of preventing the repetition of
such crimes in the future do Issue this, my
proclamation Offering reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for such evidence as shall lead to the
arrest and conviction OF the said murderers, any
of them.
Given under my hand and the seal Of the State
hereto attached this twenty fourth day of July, in
the year of our Lord, one Thousand eight hun
dred and seventy four, and of the independence OF
the United States the ninety.ninth.

NOT AN ORACLE.

The Ptcayene not finding sufficient work
to satisfy its restless energy in the man
agement of its own columns has volun-
teered its aid in the editorial conduct OF
the REPUBLICAN. This it does in the
shape of a notice of the convention, pro-
pheticaily anticipating our edition of this
morning. The complete failure of its
soothsaying should be warning to it not
to aim at what is beyond its powers, and
its experience in journalism should have
taught it that such attempts to show up
the probable course of other papers often
produce misunderstanding the senti-
ments being by the careless attributed to
the satiric sheet itself. How would the
Pic wish being held responsible for the
eulogies on the members of the RepubG-
can convention contained in its mistaken
prophecy?
Better stick to your own paper in future,
neighbor Pic, and leave ours to us.
Prophecy is not your forte.

POSITION OF THE ENEMY.

A Democratic State Convention has
been called to meet in New Orleans.
Booth has written a letter.
Mr. McEnery has commenced reading
Mr. Booths letter.
The invitation for the Dem. Con. to
meet at Houma, offered by the Demo-
cratic ex-mayor, who said the new court
house was large enough to hold all of the
honest men likely to assemble, has been
ignored.
Mr. McEnery has apologized for wish
ing the convention to meet in Baton
Rouge.
His apology was accepted.
There will be no convention in New
Orleans.
Better Judgment and the bar-keepers of
Baton Rouge have prevailed.
Apologies have been extended to the
Leonard brothers. They did not do it.
There is no peoples party.
There is no Democr ratio party.
There is only the White League, and
What is 1t?
The convention for the nomination of
the Committee of Seventy will meet at
Baton Rouge.
All are now charged with ''ulterior OBJ

etate. Ifthis violence continues Il mus
lead to consequences very disastrous to
the interests Of all parties. Domestic VIC
lence will infallibly result in armed occu-
patton of tie State. Neither the debt
nor taxes of the State will be
thereby abated. They will be en-
forced under State officials satisfactory
to a Republican administration. This
will postpone the restoration of our pros
perity and of the peace upon which all
prosperity will depend for an almost indef-
mite period Forbearance, justice and
harmony will enable us to avoid the perils
which are now imminent and impending
Let all who have any stake in the welfare
Of Louisiana cooperate with all others,
without respect to color or opinion, to re-
press domestic violence without resort
ing to the armed occupation of the State

COMMON SENSE" IN POLITICS,

| The COMMITTEE OF Seventy III their ap-
peal to "the people" of the Stately
which they mean such of the people as are
opposed to the Republican party-calls
| upon them to exercise their common sense
in the coming contest. We ask nothing
better. For, what is common sense but
that faculty which distinguishes between
the probable and the improbable in state
| ments, the wise and the unwise in con-
duct; Which sends its memory backward
to see what mems actions have been in
the past, and then by means of its reason
judges Of what their future course will be
under similar circumstances. Let COM
mon sense then assume the chair of judg-
nent, and examine the past course of the
Democratic party here in Louisiana.
What did it do i'll the good old ante bellum
John Slidell times? Ask the sufferers by
the Piaquemines frauds. When, after
having been consigned to merited obscur-
ity by its unsuccessful attempt to dismem-
Der the country, it was raised to tenn
porary power by the mistaken policy of
Andrew johnson. How did it use its unde-
served opportunity? By display of greed
and rapacity in the exercise of its short
lived privileges unequaled before as they
have been unsurpassed since in the his
tory of legislative corruption, by levee
jobs, canal jobs, jobs of various other
kinds by which individuals were enriched
and the State saddled with debt of mil
lions, for which she had received nc
value whatever. When again sent int o
retirement by the triumph of the Repub-
ican party, their thirst of public money
not half appeased, what was the course of
many of the leading men of this soi-disant
party of retrenchment and reform? See
the fringe of eager Democratic outsiders
bordering the ante-rooms and lobbies of
the despised Radical Legislature; hear
their whispered offers, and the rafting of
their fresh, crisp greenbacks-baits to
lure the simple and to purchase the cor
rupt.
First as teachers, then as tempters, now
as accusers, the Democracy of Louisiana
has always thriven by corruption; ard
even though it may not be the identical
men who formerly acquired record SO
unenviaDle that are now prominent as
leaders, still common sense recognizes the
well-worn Democratic uniform and the
same old banners with some new notices,
and knows it is the self same old enemy
with which the true welfare of the State
has SO often before commended. Common
sense knows also that the old axiom 'sNo
man voluntarily relinquishes power"
would be verified on the incoming of
set of hungry politicians, famished by
long abstinence from official nutriment,
and that whatever chance may exist under
Republican rule of the repeal of objec-
tionable laws there would be none what
ever under change to Democratic sway
This chosen umpire, therefore, will have
nothing to do with the recognized De-
mocracy, whether they call themselves
Democrats, White Leaguers, Independ-
ents, Reformers or Liberals" but will
stick to the Republican party and make
what reforms are needed through its
means.

TEXAS ATTACKS HER FRIENDS,

The opposition papers of New Orleans
have adopted the extraordinary policy of
invoking foreign sympathy by magnify
ing domestic evils. With the aid of the
Bee, a journal published in the French
language, they have succeeded in giving
Louisiana such desperate reputation in
this country and in Europe as to have
effectually cut off the immigration of
people or the investment Of money among
US. Nay, a great many millions of dollars
and francs have been withdrawn from
Louisiana for use in more prosperous and
peaceful countries. Business men have
demonstrated against this wanton ex-
aggeration of the accustomed evils which
befall all communities, into chronic and
continual wrong, but without effect.
These telltale journals present in their
highly illustrated narratives, which are
caught up and copied by all our COM
mercial rivals; until in the words of a
capitalist, urged to establish branch
business here, ''New Orleans is a city
to which I would neither send my son nor
my money"
1t does not seem that the sympathy ex-
cited by their exaggeration has amounted
to much. Louisiana is politically OF
small influence, having but five or six
votes out of about three hundred in Con-
gress. The New Orleans REPUBLICAN a
short time since effectually exposed the
fallacies referred to by showing from the
Cotton Exchange report that the negroes
represented abroad as marching about the
country with guns on their shoulders,
were peacefully at home making the best
and best cultivated crops since the sur
render.
1t seems, however, that other interests
have been formed to protest against this
system OF electioneering for political SYM
pathy at the expense of business interests.
The Picdyune has been charged, at a
Democratic meeting at Waco, Texas, with
having endeavored 'to create erroneous
impressions as to the condition of Texas,
and to divert from her confines the inevi-
table tide of immigration.
We would intervene in behalf of our
neighbor if we knew upon what precise
evidence the charge against it is founded.
In the absence of such authority We do

ndt hesitate to say that Che Tendency q
most opposition papers has been to aid
exas~greatly. By driving of large
amount of labor from Louisiana. II the
White League has coninued sway we
may expect it to depopuiate OF their
agricultural and mental labor the
whole column of parishes which lie
along the borders of Texas Nat
urally such immigrants will seek re-
fuge in Texas. To do the Picayune
justice it has not favored this vicious Or
ganization, but those who do, are the
friends of Galveston and Memphis, drlv-
ing cotton from New Orleans and labor
ers by thousands out of Louisiana to peo-
pie and work for Texas. When, there
fore. the Texans come to understand the
opposition tactics Of Lo uisiana, they Will
no longer regard them as enemies, but en-
courage them as friends who are driving
the fish of Louisiana into the nets OF
Texas.

WILL THEY EVER BE CLEAN?

The newspapers of the present moment
seem to have found common level in
the retail of unwholesome scandal, or in
delicate truths, as the case may be. From
the dignifed and enterprising journals,
to which world looks for information, to
the most puny village bugle, struggling
for existence with patent outside, all
have their tilt on the Brooklyn sorrow.
1t is sad statement, but safe to say,
that no papers are now quite fit to
be read entire by pure minded
family. Morning pa pers, which would
otherwise scarcely publish unclean things,
are made to pay for the abominable stuff
constantly sent over the wires, whether
they use it or not. The scandals are
published, as accounts of prize fights are
published, because it is news. Religious
journals also infinitely publish the details
that moral deductions may be drawn
therefrom. The motives are different,
but the result is the same. Dirt in the
pulpit in no way differs from dirt
in the bar-room. To news editors
who skim over the hundred or more
exchanges each day, the disgusting
condition of the public press is
most apparent. Every page of every paper
has its fling, its jibe, its taunt, its dis
played heading singing the same
song-until nausea comes before news.
Great cities are destroyed by fire; terrible
floods rush down and destroy hundreds of
human lives, and the events are forgotten
in day, but the Beecher nuisance goes
on forever. Any theme would seem more
preferable. Even a Democratic victory
on a Mississippi sand hill would
be welcome news to Republican
editor, did it but displace the foul
