moved the Democrat Office, from it's

with our home folks. Old Red has

~ What better chance can til

~ What better chance can the
colored people of Rapides want or de-
sire. than the opportunity now Offer
ed them by the true people of our
Parish to support and vote ticket,
gotten up for their mutual interests
and welfare. The one presented for
their suffrages is certainly unexcep-
tionable and is composed entirely of
land owners and cultivators of the
soil; men who give them employ
ment, a home and a good support for
their wives and children, and who
are the true friends of the colored
man. In this respect there is stri-
king contrast between the two tick
cts, and we are certain all sensible
darkies will look at the matter In its
true light, throw off their enslave-
ment to false friends, and aid their
white friends in the redemption of
Louisiana from misrule and ruin.

COZ Registration in New Orleans,
up to last week, footed up: whites
1855 to II, 53s blacks. Our people
there, like some we have in our
minds eye, are far behind the mark,
and so far have come to duty rather
tardily. A little reminder Of their
duties in New Orleans, would not be
amiss to our people who are so luke
warm, when their own salvation Is at
stake.

ALEXANDRIA,
Oct. 5, 1874.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT
We are forced once more to ask
your indulgence to give us hearing.
We, as portion Of the colored voters
of the Parish of Rapides, are dissat-
isfed with the Ticket, which was
placed before the people, on the 3rd
inst, We had hopes and had been
promised, that they W uld endorse
the nominations Of Capt. Jeffries,
Judge Daigre and David G. Paul,
three gentlemen we intend to support
in November next-the rest Of the
ticket, Joe Connaughton and Will
liam Crawford we approve. But un-
less they give us the three gentlemen
we name,t we will make a ticket Of
our own. We have stood it as long
as we can, and will not stand it any
longer. This from many
VOTERS.

At 1t Again.

Nothing on the top of Gods green
earth can palliate or satiate the Rad
icals of Louisiana, in their hate, their
envy, their venom against the people,
the white people, Of our PROSTATE
and enslaved State. Again are they
armed and backed by the President,
in q new move of mischief and infa-
my and persecution against US, and
soon, very soon, will these new screws
and fresh engines of oppression be
hurled against us anew and wit h
fresh poison. The following from a
late number Of the New Orleans
Times will speak for itself:
A Times representative was informed
last night by the United States Mar.
shall that he had Yesterday received a
letter from the United States District
Attorney of this district, wherein the
former was directed to canse the exc.
cntion of the writs against those per-
sons who had been indicted for partici-
patton in the Grant Parish affair. The
writs have been in the hands of the
United States Marshal for some time,
but nothing had ever been done with
them. The processes in question are
against between eighty and ninety ci :
liens, and should their arrest follow,
their hearing will ensue at the Novem-
Der term.
1t is well to state in this connection
that the United States District Attor-
ney has very recently returned from
Washington City, where, it is probable,
be received instructions from the De-
partment of Justice, resulting in the
summary proceedings. herein above
mentioned.

ca Kellogg is out in a long har-
angue to the Radicals of the North,
and makes big beg for moral sup
port and help. He tries to be half
decent in his language, but as usual
he lies in his figures and bungles in
his premises. The whole thing is for
the Northern market, for no one here
will read it, and no paper will publish
it but the pap-fed official State Jour
nal. We merely make mention to let
our readers know, that such q dccu-
ment has gone into print.

TIE AGREEMENT.

Below we give in full the Compro-
mise, recently effected, between the
two political parties in our State.
We have no space for the long cor
respondence, which passed between
the two Committees, but what we
publish is the result of that cores
pondence:
/. The committee representing the
Conservative Peoples Party pledge
themselves to cause all violence and
intimidation, if any exist, to cease
throughout the State, and to assist
the constituted authorities in main
tanning peace and insuring strictly
fair aid impartial registration and
election; also to discountenance acts
and threats of personal violence, and
all improper influences to control the
will of the electors, and to render as
sistance and to use every effort to
subject to the penalties Of the law
all persons who may commit acts OF
violence or intimidation, or conspire
to do the same.
2. In order to guarantee fair reg
istration and election, there is here
by constituted and established an
Advisory Committee of five members,
namely: Messrs. Albert VOORHEES,
and f. A. Burke, selected by the
representatives of the Conservative
Peoples party; and Messrs. S. B.
Packard and B. F. Joubert, selected
by the representatives Of the Repub-
lican party; and of an umpire, name
ly, Mr.. NJ. F. Bonzano, who has been
Jointly selected. This A dvisory
Committee is to supervise and carry
on the registration throughout the
State, on behalf of all parties, to the
full extent Of suggesting changes in
the registration officers and the man
ner of conducting and carrying on
the registration. Governor Kellogg.
in the interest of q fair and impartial
registration, of his own accord,
pledging himself to act upon the ad-
vice and suggestions of the Advisory
Committee, so long as such advice
and suggestions are in consonance
with and permitted by the existing
laws of the State.
1t is agreed that two persons shall
be named by the representatives of
the Conservative Peoples party, who
shall be elected according to law, to
fill two vacancies which shall be Gre
ated by designations in the Returning
Board within twenty days.

blast. The conservative elements,
composed Of nearly every white man
in the Parish, the owners of the soil,
the planters, the merchants, the me-
chanics, the laborers, the taxpayers
have placed a ticket in the field emf
nently fitted to represent them and
worthy of the support of any people.
That this ticket is of no special rings
or political antecedents, and has been
chosen solely for the good of ourpeo-
pie and in their true interests, there
cannot be a single doubt. The Rad
ical party here, who have had full
swing and held all the offices in the
Parish, from reconstruction to the
present time, and who have been
tried aud found wanting in all and
every particulars, are in the field
once more with full ticket.
That there is disposition, and a
marked one at that, on the part of
many colored folks, in this our pres
ent non-partizan issue, to join hands
with US and aid US redeem our affairs
of State and Parish, is clearly prov
en- to lis every hour in the day-and
that our people should also, at all
sacrifices bury all chickering's, all OPP
position Of the past and unite togeth-
er in one sacred band to aid in that
redemption, is also equally certain
and apparent. That we must be vic
torious with such honorable incent
| ives there is not much doubt, and
summing up our situation we can but
feel confident that we will win, that
our skies are clear, save one little
spec, from quarter, which we regret
to know we have opposition, which
if persisted in, can harm us but very
little and only be marked as an Incl
dent to cast dissensions in our Sc
ried ranks, and indirectly aid our en-
emies. We of course allude, and we
must say with regret, to the candida
CIV of Col. r. A. Hunter, for the Leg
islature, with w. D. Goodwin and W.
w. Wilmington, Jr., as colleagues on
the same ticket. At this juncture
and in this special canvass, it is real
ly lamentable that these gentlemen,
who claim to have the same good in
view as our people, should be array
ed against us in fruitless attempt
to render their candidacy successful
in this election. At any other time
and under other circumstances, we
might be disposed to pass these
things unnoticed, but cannot refrain
from decidedly recording our regret
and non-approval of their course, and
sincerely trust they will cease their
useless opposition to their people and
join them, heart and hand, in punish
ing the enemy.
