co. Attorney General Williams
has issued circular letter to the U.
S. Marshals of the Southern States,
suggesting where U. S. Troops are or
may be stationed, that they "appoint
some prudent and fearless man" to
act at once in the arresting of parties
accused of outrages. 1t will be no
trouble for the buzzard crew to now
spread themselves and make hay
while the sun shines.

TRoops,-The Radicals have sue

ident with the false belief that they
were in great bodily danger here, and
accordingly the call has been an
swered and Louisiana is once more
an armed garrison. The near cleo,
tion is, however, the milk in tho Rad

sufferings must be pandered to, and
the army must be converted into an

The Radical Parish Ticket.

The adjourned Parish Convention
of the Radical-negro party, which was
ordered adjourned because it was be-
lieved, or at least UNANIMOUSLY preten-
ded, that every negro attending it
would be slaughtered and butch
ered," assembled in Town and came
down to their work in the same old
accustomed fashion, and under the
guidance and teachings of a few, very
few bad white men. Despite the
fact, that much confusion, fuss and
noise marked its proceedings, and
that dissatisfaction and chickering's
were plainly visible in many faces of
the members, still the screws were
applied and the nominations fulmina-
ted to the ever faithful. And it is of
no use exp"tiating on the status of
the nominees, which as usual, are of
the material always dished out to us,
and with which Rapides has been be.
fore cursed, and which we can GER
tainly defeat if we be true to our
selves and our manhood.
AS chroniclers we must write down
the nominations: For the Legislature,
Joe Connaughton, William Crawford
and John De Lacy. For Pari s h
Judge: John H. Sullivan. For Sher-
if: John Clements. For Coroner
W. H. Shadburn. Nominations were
also made for five Police Jurors,
which includes the names Of three
gentlemen of our Parish, who we
:. Tow won't stand such honors, but
will sta,.d by our Parish Ticket.

~We are all on the same DO:

n~ We are all on the same boat,
bound for the haven of safety, peace
and contentment, therefore why
should We be divided and make false
steerings in the same hallowed cause.
The plain and bounden duty ofevery
true man in Rapides Is to strike down
Radlcallsm and misrule under which
We have SO long groaued and suffered.
The Conservative clements here offer
all panacea to these evils, which is
to support and vote in the Parish
Ticket, which flies at the masthead
Of the Democrat.

60 Elsewhere we give publica-
ton to communication, which was
handed us by colored man of our
Town, VIII ich plainly convinces US
there is some bad feeling being shown
in regard to the very bad nominations
made by the Radicals, and that many
of the colored folks are not pleased,
but will certainly ignore some of the
nominees. and vote for three gentle
men on our ticket. The country
darkies are also much displeased, at
the usual fact of Alexandria with a
hand full of colored voters, receiving
all the chicken pie, but small slice
being given to an indifferent white
man in the country, who has no
claims on them, and never aided or
helped them in any form or shape.
Many colored voters have learned
sense from dearly purchased expert
ence and have decided disposition
to slide from the ring, act for them
selves and vote for and with the white
people. They can rest assured that
the whites are yet fairly inclined to
them, and are ready to extend them
the right hand of support and protec-
ton, and always be their friends,
when their acts prove them worthy
to receive these benefits.

BLACKWOOD.

Blackwood's Magazine for Septem-
Der comes to US from the Leonard
Scott Publishing CO., Al Barclay 81,
New York.
The leading political article is a
"Review Of the Session." in which
the writer takes comfort in the polit-
ical situation, and assures US that
''the tone Of the public mind is more
healthy, and the prospects Of sound
government are more assured"
The serials, "Alice Lorraine and
Valentine and his Brother" are con-
tinued, and in both Of them the
storm elements, which have been
gradually gathering, are about to
burst. RI
The Tribute in Memoriam to Chas
Sumner is by w. W. Story, with
whose contributions, both in prose
and poetry, the pages of Blackwood
are occasionally enriched.
No. 6 of "lnternational Vanities'
comes to US like letter from an old
friend, 1t treats Of Diplomatic Pri-
vileges, and tells us how the tele-
graph and rapid postal delivery have
diminished the Importance Of the
profession Of ambassador, and left it
though still superior to lawyering,
doctoring, and soldering" only IA
ded remnant of it's former self. The
past history and present condition Of
ambassadorial prerogative are pleas
antly contrasted. The writer is Of
opinion that diplomatic privileges
now mean in practice little more than
the power of smoking untaxed tobac-
co. Whether the right of inviting
the sovereign to dinner should be
counted as one more real advantage
depends entirely on ones view ofthe
charm of oval society"
In the article on THE Greek Fool"
the student will find many ancient
facetia and absurdities illustrating
"a species of the fool genus with
which the British public is only half
familiar" and in "The Ancient
Classics" we are introduced to the
valuable series of books now publish
ing, entitled "Ancient Classics for
English Readers a series whose
object is to make the "reader &C
quainted with the character, situa-
ton, and sentiments of each classic
author, with the scope of his argu-
ment when the subject is philosophi-
cal, with the nature Of the story when
it is dramatical.

BUTLER DISTURBED BY A SpooN.---
The following incident we find in
the report Of Ben. Buffers recent
speech at Essex, Massachusetts:
At this point, and while the Gene
raj was holding to all men paying
their honest debts, spoon was low
cred by means of a string through
the scuttle Of the roof and hung like
spectre in mid air. A giggle was
heard from the audience, and it soon
assumed the proportions of q roar.
The General tried to continue, but
was several times interrupted. He
failed at first to observe the objec-
tionable article of table use. Gen.
Butler finally placed his eye upon it,
and gazed from right to left without
a word to say. He again attempted
to proceed, but only again to be in
tewupted. Finally, he shook his
handkerchief and Strengthened him
self and rematEed: 6" ell, I should
think that this is about as good an
argument as / can be opposed to-"
The spoon wiggled in air and the
General continued: "There must be
some opposition in this town.
Laughter and applause.

GRANT ON SOUTHERN APPOINT
MENrs.-The President, in conversa-
ton with a gentlemen on Saturday,
said that 80 far AN the Federal officers
were concerned in the South, there
should be no complaint in the future.
Whenever he fonnd that an jncOmpe-
tent or otherwise unfit man was hold.
ing a marshalship, post office, or any
other Federal Office, coming in contact
with the people, he should promptly
rem"ve him and appoint the hest man
resident in the community IN his place.
He was fully satisfied tina: some bad
appointments had been made, which
had tended to stir mp strife; but be
hoped to remove them just as soon as
any charge was preferred and sustain-
ed. He said member of the cabinet
and himself had talked over this, and
he had determined to see if better
class Of Federal appointments could
not he made in tire South. Whatever
complaint the people may make Of
their State officials I've Ia resolved, he
says. that there shall he none against
those under the Government.-[Ss.

The funeral rites Of SergeahtPaoli were
the most imposing that have taken ihlace Ia

One night last week d passenger on the
ntghs express on the Chesapeake and Ohio
raftroad came hear losing his life. He had
been dilatory In getting of. through drowsi.
ness or other cause, and the night express
waits for no man; so, In attempting to step
from the cars while ius motion, ne fell
between the moving train and the plat
form OF the depot. There was just
space enough under the ledge Of the plat
form for him to remain perfectly safe, pro.
Vided he kept still. 1t Is quite probable he
would not have done this; but negro man !,
named Alfred Grant, seeing the situation,
ana with remarkable presence Of mind,
rushed to him. and held his head down so
that he could not move until the train had
passed. But for the action Of the colored
man. he would probably have struggled to
escape, aud would have been caught and
crushed BY the wheels Of the cars.
Several races for small stakes were run on
the belmont" course Saturday. It was
very interesting occasion to the lovers of the
sport, though there was no extraordinary
speed scored, or noted blood' engaged in
the affair.

church still continues with increasing in

The Sauborn Trial.

New YORK, March 51.-The decision OF
Judge Benedict, expected to be delivered tc.
day, is upon the point made BY the United
States District Attorney that Sanborn ne
gally took money which was collected by
Hawley and vandewerken. both of whom
were in the employ OF the Government, and
such collections should have been turned
over to the treasurer; and also that the con,
tract between Sanborn and the Secretary OF
the Treasury specifically holds that he (ean.
borp) could not receive any money unless ne
personally collected 1t. The District Attor-
new puts in evidence that the preliminary
letter of the Secretary of the Treasury inter
preled the contract that SanbOrn must make
his collections himself.
Later.-S anborn and his partners have
been acquitted. The indictment was defec
tive so rs to exclude certain evidence.
