A NEW EMANcIpATIoN.- Certainly
the most momentous political event in
South Carolina politics since recon
atruction, WAS the spontaneous and
unmistakable revolt of the colored
Republicans of Charleston, s. c., last
night, against tho ring, who control
what is left of the Irregular" party or
ganization. Il mass meeting had been
determined upon to ratify the Columbia
Nominations and platform. At frat, it
was intended to hold it in front of the
City Hall, but tho managers, learning
the strong anti Chamberlain feeling
prevailing in the rank aud file of the.
party, afterwards determined to call
the meeting in Military Hall, where it
was hoped that the slim numbers OF
those who still olung to the carpet-bag
ring might make IL better show. But
they made IA woful mistake. The CO.
lored Republicans turned against their
old leaders the very tactics in which
those leaders had so indusiriously
drilled them III the campaigns of the
past. They captured the organiza
ton of the meeting. elected men
known ms Independent Republicans to
be its officers, and though succession
OF the leading lights of tho ring, in
cludlng Mr.. Chamberlain himself, es.
sayed to speak, the meeting utterly re-
fused to hear them, drowning their
voices in wild and tumutuous cheer
ing for Green. The chiefs of the ring
prudently rcfrained from Offering the
resolutions of ratification which had
been prepared, feeling that they must
inevitably bo voted down. Such is
the spirit with which the Republicans
of Charleston greet the man whom
Patterson IL Co. would thrust upon
them as their Governor.

New ORLBANs.-The address of the
Committee of Seventy, in the form Of
report from the committee appoint
ca Mt g meeting composed os The Com-
nittee Of Seventy, the State Central
Committee, and the parish committees
takes the form of an appeal. 1t
sets forth long series OF wrongs from
which the State has suffered, and
claims the McEuery government was
legally and fairly elected. II says the
people North were generally led into .au
error In believing tho colored voters
OF Louisiana were in excess of the
white voters. or that the culored voters
and white Republicans en- maSSe voted
the kellogg ticket, und by compila-
ton Of figures shows the white males
to be in excess of the colored, aud
claims that many Republicans, white
aud colore'l, voted the McEuery ticket.
Ii describes the means by which the
citizens were deprived uf their politi.
cai rights, and gives an explanation Of
the formation and design of the White
League organization, whose character
1t Claims has been grossly misrepre-
sented, aud gives a description of the
insurrectiuu, aud says that the fight
was forced upon the citizens, they did
not begin it. It details the story of
the surrender. und the fruitIess nego.
tlutlons of the compromise committee.
1t also contains In full the appeal fro 10
the Committee ol Seventy to Pre-. .ideut
Grant, dated New Orleuns, Septembcr
., for protesting against the placing
troops IN Louisiana upon the eve of
such an election as is now approach
ing. under the control Of civil officers
identified with usurpation. and request
ing that if such be done. the present
marshal be removed, and one appoint
ed who is not tue active supporter aud
leader in the Kellogg government.
In conclusion, the address says: "Our
tale of misery is complete. Nothing
remains but submission, relieved only
by the dim distant hope that the sober
second thought Of this great people
will reconsider calmly our conduct,
and devise, in their wisdom, some
method of relief for their unhappy
countrymen.

~ Our State just now present

60 Our State just now presents
a spectacle of ruin and devastation
frightful and appalling. Two hun
dred and fifty thousand acres Of cot
ton lands, one hundred thousand
acres of corn lands, and a region
which annually produces thirty-thou-
sand hogsheads of sugar, and a vast
quantity of rice and tobacco, are now
submerged by the waters of the Mis-
sissippi, Ouchita and Red rivers.
All the work stock, cattle and hogs
have been drowned, and at least thir'
ty thousand people-men, women and
children-are actually on the verge
of starvation. What a picture to
contemplate! what future for poor
stricken Louisiana! In view of all
this, Congress has passed relief
bill, which has been signed by the
President, and will feed many Of oul
suffering people.

sR That sold Jade" the ri

aH- That sold jade" the river
has been dancing the coquette the
whole of last week. She has fallen,
she has risen and is now falling
aoain. AS we write she stands about
five inches below the highest water
of the season, and thirty-fve inches
below the highest water mark of 1866,
The latest news from above has it
rising at an unprecedented rate. AT
Shreveport, the Government Obser-
yer, reports the rise there at the rate
of eight inches for the twenty four
hours ending at 8 O'Clock, Friday, the
oath inst. The river there is within
ten inches of the highest water mark
However, we apprehend no fears OF
an overflow here, with any thing Of
fair weather. We can stand three
feet and not blink, and hence who is
afraid?

60 President Grant has made
the first step towards his first love-
the good and time-honored democ,
racy, and has vetoed the finance bill
or as it is G;cknamed the imitation
bill. This reminds us of good old
John Tyler, when his democracy
cropped out and he vetoed the Uni
ted States Bank Bill, the monster O.
the old Wing party. We may nov
look out for clean fuss between
Grant and his party. There is ex
element ahead.

|" Our merchants and traders,
who honor the Democrat with their
advertisements, showing good dis
elimination in their own favor and
for their own monied interests, are
surely among the best and most pros
porous in our Town, and deserve the
continued patronage of the commu-
nifty Of which they are honored
members.

THE CRoPs.-Despite the flood OF
continued and ipcessant rains in the
land of Rapides, the crops are in a
far better condition and fix than even
the most sanguine had Alright to an
ticipate or expect. The corn and
cotton are tits true not overly extra
fine, but might be worse; but the
cane, particularly the stubble never
was better. Take it all in all, we OF
Rapides have some cause to exult,
amid the general destruction all over
the State.

TO Our Readers.

The Democrat, after more IMAM
one years issue in rather compress
ed dimensions, makes its appearance
this day and tips it's old war worn
beaver. in it's former size and shape
and in bran new suit, to it's many
patrons and friends. In coming
hack to its former self and in old IA
miliar rio and trim, it has no ex-
cuses to make, no pardon to crave,
for so long being in such tight ha-
biliments, but the pressure OF the
times and the radical legal enact
ments to force the Conservative
press of the State to complete sur
render. 1t has striven with pluck
against the first, fought it's hardest
fight against the latter, so long and
with such non-paying will, that its
Editor and Publisher are determined
now to force the fight, strike renewed
blows in the same glorious and just
cause to the bitter end, to the last
ditch, and to further these laudabie
aims we have determined to assume
full proportions, in order to zinc
more room for field action in thu
coming contest for Louisiana's re
demption. The only prom IS S
which we can make to our patrons
and the people of Rapides, is that tn
past record of the many hard-fough
fights in which the panacte of tn
Democrat has always waived in tn
front and in the thickest of the bat
tie, shall be our guide and guerdo'
for the future, and nothing on on
part shall be wanting or neglected t
make it still the organ of the peopl
and of the sovereign peoples rights
AS usual and as of old, we shall max
the Democrat a good readable pape1
with all the news of the times, Guile
from the best sources, and a welcom
visitor to the hearth and home
the families of our patrons. Thu
we cherish the hope, with such prom
ises carried out to the letter, to me-
it and receive full share of the p'
tronage of the people of Rapides, an
never to go back on them, our HON
and our honored constituency.

WARPArH.-A notice elsewhere
conveys to all breeders and amateurs
of pure blood stock, that a very rare
chance is offered them from the own
er of the highly bred Warpath. His
pedigree is unsullied and traces back
to old England's best. Warpath was
sired by Wardance, who is by Lex
ington out Of Reel, the dam OF LIE
comte. This alone is enough to
stamp him as one of noble ancestry,
and no further need be said in his
praise-this is glory enough for one
horse.
