Our last Legislature contained too
many ignorant and incompetent Incm-
bers. The appropriation bill, full Offer
rors, frauds and unconstitutional items,
was one of the results. lfthC mcmhcrs
had all been tit for the places they ocru-
pied, this important bill would have
been safe from injunction, and our mi
litia would not have been without am
munition on the day of battle.
We must elect better men. We have
one chance left. If we repeat the folly
of efccting Incompetent and ignorant
men once more, Republicanism in Lou
isiana is doomed to utter ruin and dc
struct ion. L. atelliHeNce2.

md right and left sides of the body of
the said Frank M. McLeroy, deceased"
Without expressing an opinion upon
the correctness of the verdict SO far as
Cannon is concerned, who is now held
for commitment, we are bound to say,
that Mr.. McLeroy, from all the circum-
stances and his known character and
At four o'clock he was last seen by
Clevenger; before dark he was found
dead. His coat was found in one place,
his hat and saddle bags in another and
his shirt collar in another. DR.. Key
testifies that there were wounds on
several places of his body. His horse
was found not very far off with part of a
small limb still tied to the reins. 1t is
therefore impossible for the deceased to
have been killed by a fall from his
feeble health at the time are inconsis-
tent with the hypothesis that he as
saulted any one. Frank NIcLeroy
alwaysavoided strife, and never, within
our acquaintance with the man extend
ing over twenty years had a if1iculty or
even a quarrel, with any one. That
he came to his death by violence and
foul means, we cannot doubt. Who the
guilty party is, is not susceptible Of
positive proof; but the fact that Cannon
was last seen with the deceased, that
there was blood on Cannon's shirt,
vest and pants; that he was found near
by next morning in a bewildered state,
unable to account for himself, with other
circumstances somewhat less grave in
their bearing; together with the absence
of any evidence to show that McLeroy
had been with any one else, are matters
presumptive against the innocence OF
Mr.. Cannon, and on account of which,
we suppose, he has been held for trial.
The deceased was we'll known to Us
from his early manhood. He was about
forty years OF age, Of most worthy
parentage and Il man of refined feel
ings. Vie was AN unselfish friend, OF
uncommon kindness of nature, Il duti-
full son, an industrious, patriotic citizen
and Il good soldier in the Lost Cause
He had no encmies-made many
friends, without losing one. 1t is E
mysterious dispensatiOn of Providence
that such 4 man should have met dealt
in il manner shocking to the sensibilities
of all who are appraised Of his bruta
taking-off. His remains were inferred
in the cemetery near Trenton.

FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention of this
District assembled at Vienna last Sat
urday, with representation in person or
by proxy from all the parishes, three
excepted. Judge Farrar, of Madison,
was chosen president. The committee
on resolutions male a report endorsing
fully the slate effort to establish the
NcEnery government; after which,
Capt. w. b. Spencer, of Concordia,
was nominated FOR Congress by acc}a-
nation. Capt. Spencer accepted the
nomination in q very able and manly
defense of the action of the people, and
promised to make a thorough canvass
of the district. Speeches were made by
Capt. Kidd, of Jackson, and Col. Rich
ardson, Of Ouachita. All the delegates
we have seen express satisfaction with
the work of the convention, and speak
in terms of praise OF the people of the
parish of Lincoln, so-called. Tho TEL
EGRAPH will give Capt. Spencer no
halfway support; and we trust that
his name will not be left off a single
ticket printed, or voted, by the white
people of the district.

THE KELLOGG .USURPATION AGAIl
CONFIRMED.

The battle OrOef Oh 0eH. 0Iaue,
through his adjutant-general,c command
ing the army and navy to assist in re-
Installing the usurping, spurious gov
eminent headed by w. p. Kellogg, has
had the effect to restore order in War
saw. Unfortunately for the prosperity
of the country and for the wisdom of
General Grant, his order has not had
the effect OF pacifylng the people, or of
restoring confidence in the usurping
State government. Property
who felt that their estates were increased
In value twenty-five per cent by the
overthrowsS0f the government based
upon <testimates," Gas Senator Steward
said,) are plunged into hopeless despair
by the order of our military President.
The State government rescusitated,
enters upon second lease with mani
festations unmistakable of ilnbecility,
dread and cowardice. Mr.. Kellogg re-
assumes the reins mainly because his
political masters force the task upon
him. He, alone, seems to appreciate
the responsibility of assuming to gov
erD a people who scorn his right and
who will defy his authority.
Trusting to Federal Intervention, the
leaders who drive Kellogg, but are not
in his shoes, have been bold enough,
out of harms way as they think, to
repeI the offers of an honorable COM
promise in which the victOrs and the
people proposed to yield. Kellogg again,
A.,l, l. &c
eral Grant in the back ground as Die
tator.
Meanwhile, the sentiment of the
Northern people is more favorable than
we expected. Perhaps, the trouble fol-
lowing Negro Suffrage at the South
has been silently doing its work North,
as 1t has been doing it here, where we
are bestride the ragged edge of bank
ruptcy and ruin.
Not only does ruin stare every man
In Louisiana i'll the face, but desperation
marks all his acts and steps. AS we
said months ago, no man in Louisiana
is what he once was. Following a
simple law of human nature, the white
men of Louisiana, robbed, oppressed
and despised, are in Il condition to dis
regard consequences. The creditor, the
swindler, thief, robber and tax-collector
are abroad. A people who are ruined
In fortune and bankrupt IN hopes, as
the people of Louisiana are, cannot be
trusted to indure forever. The sullen
air, the grave aspect, tho conspicuous
absence of n desire to co,lrt favor with
the oppressor, the general preparations
for the worst-in fine, that sentiment
actuating the people which one can see
and feel in Il moment, but cannot des-
cribe, betokens deadly resistance to
oppression in Louisiana. The power
of Office and of money has ceased to
exert its pernicious influence, because
the people arc impoverished and the
hope of aid Is at an end.

SuNDAY.-How gratefully this day
comes to us. who have toiled. oh, so
hard, for six days. It is the day set
apart for, the toilers of earth and mono
others appreciate it. It's hard to do
just as We oughtto and to''remember
the day to keep it holy" for, turned
ont, as it were, as q parcel of children
from school. We are too apt to spend
the day in worldly recreations and en-
joyments. But let's all 60 to church,
return thanks that our worse than
improbable lives have thus far been
spared, and try 10 advance one Sab
bath days journey further toward the

When children die, their forms appear
Bright-shining in the Heavenly sphere;
Though Host to earth, to Heaven a
gain, a-s, :.
Their souls in bliss eternal reign.
Through Aowery wales their spirits 20,
Where murmuring waters ever flow;
The saints with Joy the vision see,
And harps breathe forth new melody.
Celestial view, how bright and fair
To holy mothers Watching therel
Watching until their children rise
To meet them in the starry skies.
The Saviour leads them forth with Joy,
Where sims pollutions ne'er destroy;
!Ee l;dstheir souls like buds unfold
Ii "iedom's mansions manifold.
Then Why should tears of sorrow flow
For those who knew no sin below,
TranspIanted. hy'a Fathers care,
To bloom in Heavenly fields more fair?
Beyond the stars, where Eden lies,
They rest e'ermore, with fearless eyes;
There mothers, when their SORROWS
cease,
Will clasp them to their breasts in
peace.
Q. from my soul my babe is torn!
Yet shallI weep. or, joyless, mourn2
He lives with God. with angels bright,
Sings sweetly in the fields Of light.
A star Of Heavenly ray serene,
In Faiths unelouded sky is seen;
,Tis shining-shall I wake or sleep
To guide mo DER the stormy deep.
Then cease my grief; my Joy awake!
The storm clouds in the Heavens

Tho sun appears. with beaming ray,
Aud smiles my shining tears away.

Aa Appeal
Ah Appeal
IN BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE ORPHANS

IN BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE ORPHANS
OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
notwithstanding the applause of the
many and seeming appreciation of that
noble charity, the Palmetto Ophans'
Home, 30 much needed and so we'll
conducted, located in Colum bia-with
the good it has already accom- plished
in rescuiDg from want, ignorance and,
in many cases, from haunts of vice,
destitute orphans--we are sorry to ad-
NIT that such an Institution has been
crippled in its sphere of usefulness and
allowed to languish for want OF aid ne
cessary to it's successful career; and
that the support and instruction of the
present happy family of orphans shel-
tered within it's walls should be allowed
to depend on bnt few contributions.
However willing those few may be to
devote their energy and means in aid
of the enterprise, they are. unable
themselves to carry the entire burden,
consequently forced to appeal to the
people at large to assist in the good
work of establishing the Palmetto Or.
phans' Home on permanent basis.
The Home is not sectarian or demo.
ninational. The Trustees consist OF
members from the different branches
Of the chursh. The children are reli.
giously trained at home and in the
several Sunday schools; during the
week they are instructed by compe-
tent teacher. with special reference to
future usefulness. It is now ques-
tion whether or not such an institution
in our midst, based entirely upon cha
rity and love, with no paid official, be
supported, or shall it, for want Of
means. be- abandoned? and the or
phans now supported and educated
therein be- thrown npon the world
destitute and friendless.
Render, if you favor the former pro-
position, come ut once to the rescue.
Donations Of money, provisions and
clothing will be acknowledged in the

paper, published in the interest of the
Home. ut 81 per annum. All commu-
nications should be directed to "Pal-

TIE OHIO CONSTITuTIoN.

Among the changes proposed in the new Ohio
constitution are the following: Permitting Jury
of six in cases not involving s1O0; forbidding
the Legislature to dispense with the readings,
and particularly the separate readings on three
different days, OF every bill, except by q vote Of
three fourths on call OF the yeas and nays; pro-
moiting counties and municipalities from taking
STOCK In. or lending their credit TO- any corpora
ton or private enterprise. The convention has,
however. submitted, separate from the main body
p the constitution, the question whether or not
the Legislature may authorize such subscriptions
to railroad enterprises. Free passes on railroads
are forbidden, and women are made eligible 70
