The following comments on the
Bcechcr-TiIton affair appears in nome-
roy $ Democrat:
1t is very kind of the Republicans 20
be able to claim all the ncst-hidins
persons of the Plymouth church scandal
rs eminent OpposerS of Democracy.
Brother Bcccher is Il loyal Kansas
shrickcr. Brother Tilton has always
been too pure to associutcswith Demo
Gratis. Sister Tilton played II leading
horn in the Woman Suffrage band.
Our mutual friend, Frank Moulton, has
for a long time been seated with his
dippcr under the teats of the govern
ment COW. Brother Butler who has
been in one or two places associated
with spoons and stolen property, GER
tainly is not Democrat. That friSi.y V
wren, Susan II. Anthony, who once
said she would never marry Il Demo
crat, and whom no Rcpublcan Will wed,
is loyal to the back bone. Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton, whois by all odds the
most if not the only, respectable one
who has been knowing to or mixed up
in the muss, has IA horror OF Democrats.
Then there is that sanity Old clam, Bro.
Bowen, another waning rag-taG ringer,
who edits 81 religious paper and takes
in the brethren, he too il u loyal Rcpub-
Iican, side by side with the hiackc3t cat
in the wood shed, above the level of
the kittens below. And then all
the pious deacons, mild-cycd saints
and smerling old ruc5 Of the white

can and too good TO associate with
men who or not Free Lovers, niger

What a happy thought that the Demo

from the Baton Rouge Convention was
one to the effect that the Hon. John c.
Moncure, of this city, had been nomi-
mated for the office of State Treasurer by
acclanation. When we consider the
number of eminent gentlemen, some
distinguished aS tiuanciers, and some Us
politicians, who had been named in
connection with the Office, the nomiua.
ton of our fellow citizen is compliment
tary in the highest degree. With the
example before them of a State ruined
and plundcred by incapacity aud dis
honesty. it would have been criminal
in the Convention to nominate amy
one who could not come up to the
Jetlersonian standard of ability, honesty
and fidelity. Maj. Moncure has proved
that he possesses all these qualifications.
Even Warmoth, who tried TO make Il
point against all Democrats as dishonest
in his testimony before the Congress
sional Committee, said that Maj Mon
cure was the only member OF his first
Legislature who could not be bribed.
AS for his politics, II State-riGhts Demo-
crat Of the old school, and hearty
supporter of the White Mans move
ment in the present campaign, it is not
surprising that men of ali parties should
have united with him.
Mai. Moncurc is Il native of Virginia,
and is in the 18th year of his age. His
father, the Hon. II. G. l.. Moncurc, was
the leader OF the Calhoun Democracy in
the Legislature of Virginia nearly
thirty years ago, and in 1910, was
elected by the Legislature one of the
Judges ofthc Supreme Court of Appeals.
He has been on the bench of that court
ever since, and is now its presiding
officer. Maj. Moncurc graduated at The
Virginia Military Institute in 1917, and
after studying law was admitted to the
bar. early in the year 1861 he removed
to this parish, and has since resided
among us. The war coming on imme-
diatcly after his Immigration to I.ouisi-
ana, he went into service and left il
only on the collapse of the Southern
cause. In 1870 he WAS elected to the
House of Representatives of Louisiana
and served through the term with great
ability and acceptability. In 1872 he
was reelected and was, on the assem-
bling of the Legislature, elected Speaker
of the House Of Representatives. The
manner in which the MclInery gov
er1mcnt, of which he formed Il part,
was deposcd, isnowa Il part Of the history
Of the state. His present nomination
Is Il robuEc to those who set up incon-
pctcnt and dishonest men in his place
two wears ago. That he will triumph
over the enemies of the State at the
approaching election we are not per
mittcd to doubt. With II ticket, with
such Il head, our success is already
assurcl.-,Shrcrcp0,f Times.

Two Negroes and One White Man Killed.
Yesterday very startling news reach
sd this city from Red River parish.
Mr.. w. Hamilton received a letter
from MIR. III. c. Stringfellow, dated the
18th, from Cotton Point, about twenty
| miles above Coushatta, stating that 500
armed negroes were below the latter
place threatening the determination of
| the whites. The latter stated that but
two hundred whites were confronting
them, and aid was needed, and the OPP
inion was expressed that n collision was
| imminent. a-esif
Seventy-tive men in this city with arms
and equipments We're immediately
mounted in two bodies. one under COM
mand of Mr.. III. 9. Rogers and the
other under Mr.. n. B. Murff aud des-
patched toward Coushatta; while the
steamer Clifford was got ready, COM
missary stores procured, and arr.sng-
mcnts made to reinforce the cavalry
with hundred infantry who were to
have left last night on the boat.
Late in the afternoon we received an
extra from the Reporter, of Mansfield,
stating that the negroes were cOncen-
tra,ing near Brownsville, about fifteen
miles below Cousf:ttta; that two negroes
and one white man had been killed;
that Mr.. Joe Dickson had been shot
and severely wounded, in Coushatta,
by n squad of noGsocs; that Twenty-Five
white men had left Mansfield, and u
hundred and fifty would leave that
night to reinforce our Red River parish
friends. Previously we learned that
forty men had gone down to Cotton
Point and II hundred from Boards
Landing. During the day dispatches
were sent us from Marshall, Jefferson
and longvicw, oficrirg prompt assist
ance If needed.
Late last evening, while preparations
were going rapidly forward for the
movement down the river of u large
body of men, Il courier arrived at the
Times office with dispatches stating
thnt the leaders OF the radical party In
Red River parish had been captured
by the whites, an,. that the negroes.
discontcntcd by the capture of their
chief had rapidly disbanded. The fol-
lowing are tho men who hcVe been
captured, and Who doubtiesssly at the
instigation OF kellogg, got up the riot

To these, six ncgroc chiefs were cap

The capture or thcss follows put an
end to the war, and II courier was inn
mcdiatcly dispatched hithcr. Tho cou-
rier met the Shreveport men on tho

Avoiding a direct reply, she slipped
her hand into his arm. and they descended
together. As soon rs they were out of
sight. Mary turned blaze of light on in
the two front chambers and the upper hall
The lower part of the house was already
brilliantly illuminated. The sweet per-
fume of flowers met them half way. Still,
Sinclair, much to his wife's satisfaction,
made no remark. He seemed Oblivious
to all the strange changes he saw about
him.
Ten men, with musical instruments,
stood in the back half Of the broad hall,
partially concealed by the stairs. They
were divided into two groups of five each,
and appeared to be insanely glaring at
each other.
Those fellows have come too soon,"
thought Mrs. Hubbard. in silent dismay.
They will spoil it all. Ten of them, too |.
And I'm positive only spoke for five!"
But Sinclair apparently never detected
their presence. He rather hurried his step,
and they entered the front parlor
mercy - thought the wife. II shall be
ruined. Here are at least twice as many
flowers as l ordered -
Yes, the costly, delicate things haunted
every nook. Their odor made the air
sweet as June day but Mr.. Hubbard
did not notice them, any more than he
did the musicians. Lizzie looked up at
him curiousy. He was looking down at
her curiously. Neither made any remark.
They walked up and down the floor once
or twice. Then the door bell rang, rang,
and they halted as by one impulse. Some
persons fitted up the stairs. Again
more bell, more people fitting up the
stairs. Still the husband and wife sal
not word to each other Both were
smiling to themselves. People were
crowding up stairs, and presently began
to crowd down again.
The first fOnr who entered were Mr..
and Mrs. Peggings and their two dangh-
ters-rather Old-iashioned people. whom
Mrs. Hubbard had forgotten to invite.
Quite aware that she had not invited them,
she gazed upon them In astonishmert; but
nowise abashed, they advanced with good
natured smirks, which only increased
when they beheld her surprise.
''Didcnt expect us. did you ?" said Mrs.
Peggins, contentedly.
''lndeed | did not" was the answer,
while the fair hostess inwardly wished
they had chosen some other evening tor
their visit.
But her own invited guests began TO

THE OLD-FOGY MAN.

THE OLD-FOGY MAN.
He was queer. old-fogy man.
And loved old.fogy ways;
And rallied against the reckless speed
or these fast modern days.
He once could travel leIsurely, .
And stop his friends to hail;
But now they rushed him through by steam,
And rode him on a rail.
That good old coach was fast enough
For prudent folk to 60;
Impatient men now laugh at it,
And say twas rather slow;
And so they rush upon the train,
And speed like thought away,
Until a smash-up breaks their bones;
lie thinks it doesn't pay.
lie loved old housewives spinning wheels;
The music of their hum
Was far more dear to bis old ear
Than grand-piano thrum.
But ah he sighs, those wheels are gone
Since Whitney made his gin;
No more we hear their thrifty hum.-
No more the sisters spini
The rosy girls Of olden time,
Sanburnt, were nrmer made
Than these, the late and tender shoots
That grow up in the shade;
They did their mothers heavy work,
And eased her weary hands;
And sometimes, too, If brothers failed,
Could help to do mans.
Their dresses, made with easy fit,
Gave not pain beneath;
Their hearts had ample room to beat,
Their lungs had room to breathe
Unlike our present girls, with waists
Too much compressed and slight,
Who, if they do net dissipate,
Are very often tight.
They let not Fashion dwarf their forms,
But grew to comely size,
And health shons ever on their brows
And sparkled from their eyes;
They thanked kind Heaven for its gifts,
And thought, with secret pride,
That they were beautiful enough,
And they were satisfied.
But now, our modern girls, alasi
Think Providence unkind
For putting too much in the midst,
And nc! enough behind
And SO they hustle round, and lace,
To mend such clumsy ways,
And think they far outshine the girls
OF good old-foggy days.
He wished, he said for thoir sweet sakes,
That Fashions torturing vice
Would ease them up q little, and
Less pinching would suffice;
That they might feel the bounding health
Around the heart that plays,
When all unfettered as it was
In gsod oldfogy days. Ii.
