WHOSE VICTORIES P-It is the habit of
some now to claim all elections that go
anti Republican, as white league victO-
ries. Those in the North and East have
been Democratic; there is no white
league there. The elections the other
day in North Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee were carried by the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives; no white league
was known i'll these States. The white
league has carried no State election. In
Tennessee the Democratic platform con-
tanned these two resolutions:
4. That we recognize the equality be-
fore the law of all, and thatin the selec-
ton of candidates for Office, capacity and
honesty shall be the test of merit, with
out regard to nationality or former pO-
litical predictions.
8. That all effort to array one race or
class against another is odiOus to the
genius of the American Government,
destructive of public peace and pros
perity, and subversive of republican in
situations.
On this platform the Democracy won :;
on a a C issue they would have lost, for
that class of whites who are in favor of
peace" prosperity" and ere
publican institutions, rawould have turn
ed the tide of victory against the Dem
ocracy. In Tennessee the whites largely
Outnumber the blacks; if the race issue
would have defeated the Democracy
there, where would be their hopes of
victory here, under such an issue, where
the blacks outnumber the whites?
We have the statement of the st. Louis
Times, a strong anti Republican paper,
that in the election just gained by the
Democrats in North Carolina, "Ihere
Were no race distinctions or class issues
made in the cGRudSs.

An U~nwhOlesOnsc SeasOn.-The closing
days of winter and the early days of spring are
very trying to the feeble and sensitive and are
apt to affect unpleasantly even the more robust
and vigorous. Nothing can be more uneOnge
NAL to the nerves or more depressing to the
spirits than damp, chilling winds, fOas and cold
rains, and of such unwe1cOme visitors we have
o s~upeTabundanee at this season. Common pru-
dence suggests, therefore, the prepriety of for
tifying the system against these insidiOus enc
mics of health and comfort, and the experience
OF more than o quarter of a century points to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as the all-gAficieht
sanitary safeguard under such untoward cir
cumstances. An accession of vital strength and
energy is what is required to meet u overcome
the unhealthy elements now present in the at
mosphere. This increase of vital power, so nee
essary to meet the extraordinary drafts which
an inclement season makes upon tie system and
constitution, can be readily acquired by taking
from two to three doses Of Hestetters Bftters
daily during the winter and spring months.
The nature of this celebrated restorative is well
known 10 the PUBLIC. 1t is composed of an alb
sOlutely pure diffusi1e stimulant, indicated
with the extracts and juices of the most effect
i've tonic, Alternative, anti-bilious and laxative
roots and herbs known to medical science. To
the combination of these excellent Ingredients,
in proportions suitable to the exigencfes of en-
feebled, languid and diseased systems, the great
tonic+alterative owes its efficiency as a prevent
i've and curative. A course of IT. commenced
now, will prevent all danger of fever and agie,
rheumatism, or other ailments arising from cold
and damp peculiar to the spring months, and
also prove u safeguard against the attacks of
dyspepsia and liver complaint which so fre.
quently occur at this period Of the year.

REMEDY FOR P1INFUL WOUNDS
Take a pan or shovel with buring Goals
and sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar, and hold the wounded part in the
smoke, In a few minutes the pain will
be allayed and recovery proceeds rapid
1y. In nay own case q rusty nail had
made a bad wound in the bottom Of my
foot. The pain and nervous irritation
was severe, This was all removed by
holding it in the smoke for fifteen min
utes, and / was able to resume my read
ing in comfort. We have often recon-
mended it to others with like results.
Last week one of my men had a finger
nail torn out by a pair of iee-tongs. 1t
became very painful, as was to have
been expected. Held in sugar smoke
for fifteen minutes the pain ceased, and
it promises speedy recovery. ~safeqxa

We have no further intelligence rela-
tive to the outrage committed on the
Attakapas Register. The paper, though
Republican, has been conservative in its
tone, and the only supposable cause for
entering the office in the night time and
pi-ing the type, is derived from its de-
decided attitude against the White Lea
que movement.
Such indications of personal or politi-
cal opposition as those displayed against
the Register are certain to injuPe the
party and the cause on whose behalf
they are made.-lN, o. Times, Aug. 18th.

I CONVENTIONS.

The two great events ofthe week here,
were the holding of the Democratic and
white league conventions last Monday,
the Democratic downstairs and the
other upstairs in the Courthouse. We
publish the proceedings of the Demo-
cratic convention, as requested in those
proceedings. Since the Opelousas COur-
Ter sold out to the white league, the
Democratic party here has had no organ
OF party paper. 1t is dependent there
fore on opposition and independent pa
pers to publish it's proceedings.
The main event of the day was the
proposition of the white league to let
the Democratic party here have only
eight delegates to the State convention !;
whereas the State committee allows six
teen. The Democrats could not see it
in that light. They thought they had
eight more men who could represent the
Democracy as well or better than eight
white leaguers who were opposed to
Democracy. To an outsider the action
of the Democrats looks perfectly natur-
al. To furnish IN opponent with n knife
to cut yOurOwn throat would be unna-
tural. The white league want the Dem
Ocracy disbanded. They want the white
league to be the party at the Democratic
State convention. They want to go in
to the Democratic camp, drive the Dem
Ocrats out and take possession them
selves. The Democrats are naturally
opposed to this and to decline to give
the white leaguers eight votes in the
Democratic State convention, with which
to kill the remaining Democratic eight
votes, was perfectly reasonable and SEN
sible. 1t was an act of self-preserva-
ton. Otherwise the Democracy of this
parish would have had no voice in the
State convention and the votes foolish
ly given away might have destroyed the
party in the coming election.
Again, the convention was a Demo-
cratic one, and it was incumbent Oh it to
send Democratic delegates, and not dele
gates who were opposed to the party.
In the ward conventions to elect dele
gates to the parish convention, all could
take part and vote who were willing to
support the party. Tt was here that all
persons could, if they wanted to, have
representation in the Democratic State
convention.
The Democratic State convention has
but one candidate to nOminate-a State
treasurer; and he will undoubtedly be a
white man. Now, if the white leaguers
only want to vote for white men, and do
not want to break down the Democratic
party, why do they try to reduce Demo
cratic strengthg The Democrats of this
parish want no wooden horse in their
Troy; they prefer keeping the enemy
out OF their camp where they can pro-
tect themselves against his machina-
tons. They will nominate men for Of
fee white enough for all to vote for who
are not more intent on the possession of
the offices themselves than they are to
simply vote for white men. 4s4 "
