EDITOR CHEF:
In these times of excitement ant
misrepresentation it behooves every
one to be very careful of the langmgs
used in speaking to assemblies of an,
kind, and they should be the more
careful when making politica
speech.
am well aware that there are
persons who will try to misrepresen,
u speaker in any event, let him say
what he will, but if the speaker be al
plain and outspoken as Hon. Pierre
Landry was last night, the calumni
ator will find little opportunity fol
exercising his vile propensity.
During the absence of Mr.. Landry
for two nights his friends have guard
ed his residence, under the impress
sion, founded upon q vague rumor,
that an attack was to be made on
him by certain parties in this parish.
Last night Mr.. Landry returned, and
when the guard reported to him for
duty he spoke to and dismissed them
with the following well timed re-
marks:
"My friends, thank you for this
mark of affection and respect, but re-
greet that such ill-gotten reports
should be in circulation. think l
can assure you that you can all return
to your homes with perfect safety. l
have such confidence in the good
sense and kind feelings of the white
people of this town and parish, that
l fl Il secure in life, liberty and prop
crty. In justice to the good white
people of this community, l can safely
say that they recognize our constitu-
tional right to peaceably assemble for
any lawful purpose. Now, on your
part, let the good sense that has char
your past course continue
in the future, and all will be WELL"
Now, Mr.. Editor, let the white peo-
pie show the disposition which Mr..
Landry attributes to them by putting
down any and all rumors that may
tend to stir up prejudice or illfeeling
on their side, and we will be able to
say still that ours is the banner par
ish for good order, without distinc,
ton Of race, color or previous cone
lition.

POLIrlCAL NOTES. -A rousing meet
ing of the Fourth Ward Republican
club was held at the Court-H House,
last Saturday evening, for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination candi-
dates for Justices Of the Peace and
Constables for the ward. Under a
previous resolution adopted by the
club, the delegation which represent
cd the ward in the parish nominating
convention were authorized to select
the candidates, their action, of course,
to be subject to the approval or re-
lection OF the club. The delegation
retired to the Sherif1's Office, and after
half an hours absence returned and
reported the selection of Messrs. w.
G. Wilkinson and F. Vicknair for
Justices, James McCray and Nathan
Hays for Constablcs. After brief de-
bate, a motion was made to adopt the
report and was unanimously carried.
Brief addresses were then made by
Messrs. L. f. Bentley and Pierre Lam
dry, which were well received. Other
speakers We're announced, but the
laten ess of the hour induced an adj
joarnment at the conclusion of Mr..
Landry's remarks. So far as we have
heard, the candidates PIT in nominal
ton are satisfactory to the mass of
Republicans besides being we'll spoken
Of by the opposition. They are ca
pable men and will bring strength to
the ticket.
Rev. John Ashby has announced
his intention Of withdrawing his name
from the regular Republican ticket
rs Il candidate for Police Juror, in or
der that the vacancy may be filed by
an older resident and larger property
holder. We applaud the spirit

In response to a letter from
Washington a committee OF six
of our ladies now hold them
selves subject to orders to Wis
it and pray with the Ohio Leg
islature. We did not learn the
names of the committee but
understand Mrs. Judge Mayo
heads the list. BY the way,
Mr.. Bay sends US word that be
thinks it will hardly be neces.
sary for the ladies to carry out
their intentions In this respect.
We differ from our honorable
friend on this point. If the
prayers OF the ladies at long
range have had so salutaty an
effect on the Legislature as we
are led to believe, we would
like to see them brought to
close quarters. 1t will do them
good.

We learn that a determined
effort to incorporate the village
oil Hamden has been inaugur
ated. We hope the effort may
be successful. Situated as it is
at the junction of the railroad,
where all kinds OF people are
compelled to lay over, every
drunken or unruly loafer that
is disposed to do so violates law
and decency with impunity,
while thu good name of the viii
lage suffers In consequence.
While the effort is being
malet to incorporate the village
we hope some change will be
made so that the name of the
post office and village may be
identical.

man, W ard Il Co. have fitted up
their water mill in the south
west end OF town with a new
turbine wheel which Is an ex-
ample OF the wonderful lri-
umphs Of mechanical art OF late
years. The wheel is 26 inches
in diameter and 10 inches thick,
using II cubic inches of water
per second. The wheel was
constructed by MIR. Gilman, the
senior partner OF the firm. The
mill now makes a superior ar
ticle OF flour with its newly fit
led up machinery. The steam
mill is to be repaired and re-
fitttd and is not running now,
