DEATH cF THE HoME-sIcK SCOUT. The
Warm Spring Indian who became so
homesick in San Francisco tfisdt he
abandoned Donald Mckay and the bal
ance of his country men and returned to-
his reservation, was brutally murdered
at the Dalles on "Wednesday evening
last by three Indians residing in that
vicinity. The mans body was literally
hacked to pieces with knives, but for
tunately he lived long enoughto give the
names of his murderers, who have been
arrested. and if they get their just de-
serts will suffer tbs extreme penalty Of
the law. The Warm Spring Indians
who happened to be residing in the Dalles
at the time become very much excited
over the tragedy, and would doubtless
have retaliated in kind had not better
counsels prevailed. The lifeless re-
mains of the scout were conveyed to-
the reservation of his friends and in
tered in the manner peculiar to the
tribe.--Portland Necs.

A STUDY FOR BRET HAnTE. Passing

he'd gone and turned himself into solid

did it, though, but that was the last load

concluded this touching reminiscence of
his departed friend, he stopped his horse
and took drink to his memory.

for a present of the finest water

his kindness aud generosity in

The Conservative Party.

We are informed that among 9th.
er matters which will come before
the Mass meeting, there will be
made a proposition to adopt the
name "Conservatiyen as the party
name. We are informed also that
it is proposed and will most proba-
bly, be adopted, to call the ticket
and platform put forth by the Con-
vention called by the Democratic
State Central Committee, the econ
servatlve Ticket" All we have 10
say about the matter is, that the
gentleman favoring that name in
this Parish are some of our most
patriotic and liberal minded citi-
zens and their names are a guaran-
ty of its responsibility. AS CON-
promise between Democracy and
White Mans Party this name
may do.
We don't intend to give up the
White Mans Party until the peo-
pie have spoken upon it, but We
can urge no particular objection to
the name Conservative, and will
fight our best fight under whatever
name they may adopt. We think
this should be the feeling of every
one, and we are certain that it is
the only feeling which will avoid
dissensions and discord.
Personal feeling must give way
to our common good. The object
of the movers in this new party is
not to create divisions, but to re-
concile them, and we are assured
and believe that these gentlemen
are actuated by only patriotic mo-
tives aud do not propose or intend
that their move shall bring about
any division. They have a right
to their opinions, and we cheerfully
accord them that right. We think
the name White Mans Party' is
the best. These are question for

The RAP1DEs AGRICULTURAL FAIR As
soc1AT1oN. The Board of Directors of
this Association met at their Office on
Saturday last and perfected all the ar
rangements for building additional
houses and making important and
needed changes in the arrangements
for the next Fair in October. Our
double column advertisement sets
forth some of the main features, and
by the first of August, or few days
thereafter, we will have the first in
stallment of four thousand pamphlet
programmes ready to turn over to
them for distribution. The Lottery
Tickets will also be ready by that
time and the active work OF prepare
ton will begin in earnest.
Let every one in Rapides make
something, enter something or do
something for the Fair to make it a
success. It is intended to build up
and foster all kinds of industries in
the parish, and everybody should
feel themselves under an obligation
to assist in furthering and promoting
the enterprise. We bespeak for the
Association the active cooperation Of
everybody in Rapides, and are sure
that they will not disappoint US.

The Crops.

Tire rains for the last two weeks
have been partial, and many plan
ters complain Of tho drought that is
injuring the younger corn, and re-
tarding the growth of course. We
are gratified to know that there is
less complaint this season, about
bad crops, than has been since the
war. The prospect for cotton, cane
and corn crops, are exceedingly en-
ceuraging, and unless there is a
severe drought, a full crop is ex-
pected. The caterpillar has made
it's appearance, but in small num-
bers, and in many places none at
all can be seen. Paris Green and
Arsenic is in great demand, and
every one who is able, is laying in
a supply necessary to destroy the
worm so soon as it commences its
ravages. The sprinkling process
will be most generally adopted
although, the best informed men
who have made experiments in
both, prefer to follow the tormular
of Royal, and apply the mixture
by sitting. If the application of the
mixture is commenced in time, we
have no doubt of pesfect success,
in its complete destruction Of the
insect.
Where Paris Green and flower
can not be obtained, Arsenic appli-
ed will prove beneficial. One
pound Of Arsenic, dissolved in for
ty or fifty gallons of water, and
sprinkled on the cotton plant, is
said to do almost as we'll as the
Paris Greenland it is about one.
tenth of the cost. o The time of
making the application of any Of
the remedies is a question of great
Importance; as in several instances
last year. the remedy was applied
at too late a day, when the last
crop of the caterpillar had commenc.
cd its work of destruction. The
poison though effective could not
prevent the destruction of the crop.

ER.-Hold on friend Democrat If
you mean by your article in your
"dashes" that we have abandoned
the White Mans Party, we emphat-
ically answer-No! We have not
abandoned nor do we intend to
abandon one iota Of the principles
and policy we have advocated un-
til the people in Mass Meeting on
the Sth Of August shall have decid-
ed for themselves what they will do.
Oh; No! We don't give up that
easy, nor not quite so near the end
Of the mile heat. We will run that
through on our same track any
way. No, Sir! We have not given
up.
If you mean, as you say a little
further on, that Democracy, simon
pure Democracy is obeying the
voice of the people when they shall
have spoken, and consists in leav-
ing all these questions for them to
SETTLE. then we stand together to a
certainty; for there is just where
we stand exactly. You say that
" vor pop~I coo dei," is Democracy,
then that same sentence defines our
position exactly.

The SABINE.-This neat and ii.

of our big hearted commander of

about one o'clock on Monday, and
LEFT us on Wednesday, only an hour
or two behind time. The Sabine
is as nice and comfortable a low
water boat as we could wish, and
travellers ond shippers will consult
their interests by patronizing her.
We miss the smiling face of Geo.
Hamilton, but his place for this trip,
we know not whether permanently
or not, is able and acceptably filed
by our courteous and obliging
young steamboat friend of other
days, Joe Joffrion. We were not
certain whether it was Ben Kay or
not, we saw in the pilot house, but
found out that it was, minus his
moustache. Tom Dowty and Red
man were on hand as pleasant aud
agreeable as ever. Bully for the

An Outrageous Assassination.

We are panied to announce that
on the. evening of last Saturday,
Mr.. Dennis Sullivan, OF this Parish
was shot and Instantly killed by an
assassin supposed to be a negro.
He had just returned home from
Alexandria, and was putting his
horse in a small pasture near his
house, he was fired upon by some
one concealed in the bushes close
by, several buckshot entering his
head, killing him instantly. The
assassin has not yet been discover
ed, but suspicion points strongly to
a negro, whe has been heard to
make threats against his lite. We
have nothing to say of Mr.. Sulli-
vans character, or lite. The grave
hides all hisefaults. The veil Of
christian charity covers all his de.
tects. But OF his base assassina-
ton, by a negro we have this to say.
That no matter how bad a man
he may have bee13 had he been the
worst man living, that could be no
excuse for his being killed by a
cowardly assassin, hiding in the
bushes. No word ofours shall ever
excuse or palliate any such base
and cowardly way of protecting
ones self or Of avenglng any wrong.
And we tell the negroes that they
can not take the law in their own
hands, and thus cowardly murder
any man, no matter. who he is. The
perpetrator of this outrage, upon
the law and humanity should be
summarily dealt with and doubt
less will be, ifcaught. Such things
must not and shall not he done
with impunity. We condemn the
act as cowardly, base, inhuman and
utterly unjustifiable, and we call
on the officers of the law to take
the proper steps to catch the muir.
derer. What are you doing Mr..
Sheriff and Mr.. District ATTORNEY
pro tempore : We don't intend to
let this matter drop and unless Wig
orous steps are taken to catch the
assassin, we will recur to it again.
