else that great Republican and Democratic
right at this time in the parish of Caddo.
The letter, after depicting the many horrors
that Republicans are subjected to up there,
concludes as follows: Great God Gov
ernor, what sort of government is this
Shall we live in peace. or shall we 60 to
war? If the latter alternative is forced
upon us we have nothing to defend our
selves with. Great God Gov
ernor, is it not possible to have something
done that will put stop to the monstrous
acts of the men who have determined to
inaugurate reign of terror in order to ac
complish their political ends y For
Gods sake let us have State militia, or
United States troops, OF something that
will protect us. Governor, we ask your
assistance and advice. What must we do ~
This is only enc of the many letters upon
the same subjective will say the subject OF
domestic violence-that have been received
by Governor Kellogg, asking for protec-
ton; and as they contain matters that
should concern President Grant as well as
Governor Kellogg, we hope that he has been
kept advised of their contents in order that
he may fully know what infamous means
are being resorted to in Louisiana to nullity
the reconstruction laws and place the State,
by means of fraud, murder and assassina-
ton, in the hands of the Democratic party.

In the election on the second of Novem-

For the information of our readers we pub
1ish the following table to show what mem
bers of the Senate hold over, and where
new members of that body are TO be elected.
Of the number holding over all but one are
Republicans, and the prospects of the
Democrats making any serious inroads
upon that body this fall are very small. In
fact, by no possibility can the Democracy
get control Of that body, no matter what
efforts they may make. Even we're they to
have full control of all the election ma
chinery of the State, such result would
still be impossible. TIE following is the
table:

A S0uthera Belle.

A Georgia paper describes a Southern
beauty as follows: "Among the many Wis
itors who came to our city on Saturday last
to sell their country produce was young
lady from an adjoining county who had
chickens, eggs and butter for sale. Her
beauty was of transcendent excellence.
Bright, flashing, intellectual eyes, and face
round and rosy, while her calico dress was
plain and neatly made and fitted beautiful
ly. Her rich black hair flowed in luxuriant
richness. Highly educated, she conversed
fuently and deported herself with becom-
ing mOdesty. She wore no false hustle or
purchased complexion; had no top knot on
her head or false fxings to present, but stood
in the majestic beauty of a created intelli-
gence that would not yield to the despotic
dictates of frivolous fashion. 1t has been
q long time since we gazed upon such
sight. The young men crowded around
her wagon with curiosity in their eyes and
admiration in their hearts. The old men
wept for Joy that there was one who had
not bowed to Baal. She sold her country
produce, went home, MIXED the cows,
cooked supper for ten farm laborers. and
went to church in the evening with her

By card in another column it will be
seen that Mr.. P. J. Punch, who may be
found at No. l22 Gravier street, has been
made agent of the above named paper,
which is published in English in the city of
Mexico. Mr.. Punch has for long time
been connected with the press of New Or

from his association with the Price Current
publication. The journal Of our sister re-
public, which he now represents, gives
much space to New Orleans news and our
commercial matters, and is an excellent ad-
vertising medium for merchants in any
way interested in Mexican trade.
