in the different parishes to distribute such
supplies as may be forwarded to them Tor
the relief OF their suffering neighbors.
We object to the organization OF such
a partisan and political relief committee as
the one inaugurated by Messrs. Wharton
Faulkner, Soner and Benham. Whilst there
is no improperly IN the appointment OF
honest and colored persons on these
parish committees, we submit it would be
highly unjust and injudicious to invest
them and their party with the entire con-
troll Of such supplies.

RELIEF FOR THE OVERLOOKED,
EXERCISE CAUTION!
RADICALS ON THE KEEN SCENT.

The present distressed condition of the
people in the lowlands of Louisiana, caused
by the overflow, is attracting the attention
of the whole country. Everywhere sub
scriptions are being raised, and in few
days large sums Of money will come pour
sufferers.
The Radical leaders, ever on the alert for
an opportunity to promote their own inter
ests and make political capital, have alread,
taken steps to obtain control Of the funds
designed to alleviate the distresses of the
poor and unfortunate.
To this end the relief meeting, held at the
Mechanics Institute, and presided over by
the Radical Senator Wharton, of Iberville
and engineered by that pattern Of honesty
and patriotism A. w. Faulkner, of life in
surance fame, have requested all supplies to
be forwarded to the police juries of the
parishes. In addition, they have designated
a K. lical political leader in each parish to
receive and distribute the supplies. In the
list Of persons so selected, with but a very
few exceptions, we fail to see the names OF
well known and respectable citizens. Car
pet-baggers and negroes have been named,
and from the we'll known antipathy to the
white people entertained by the former and
their dependence upon the negro votes for
their political advancement, it is quite rea-
sonable to conclude that in the distribution
Of funds and supplies the poor white people
will fare badly at the hands of these self
constituted philanthropists. Besides, it
must be borne in mind that the police juries
Of the parishes are appointed by Kellogg,
and are, in most instances, composed Of ne
groes. The danger to be apprehended, then,
is that they will establish elemosynary in
situations for the support Of their idle
brethren, and appropriate the funds to poll
teal purposes.
Hence we would advise the committees
charged with the disbursement OF money, to
exercise great caution in selecting persons

~ Mr.. Syphcr, Of Louisiana, called attention

While the lamp hol Is out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return

The New Orleans BULLETIN, paper
recently started in the Crescent City,
has reached our table. 1t is conducted in
the vigorous style which the present unfor
tnnate situation of Louisiana demands, and
is unsparing in it's denunciatiOn of the
usurper and his buzzard crew. Its etlitor-
ais have the ring of the true metal, are ably
written, fearless, uncOmprOmising and to
the point. The people Of New Orleans and
of Louisiana cannot fail to see that it is to
their interest to support such outspoken
papers as the Opelousas Courier,
18th inst
A bulldog who already bore about his
muzzle some not inglorious scars, accom-
panied his master, who carried on his breast
the Victoria Cross, to the Ashantee cam
pagn. Having, from his breed, natural
turn for fighting, he distinguished himself
throughout the campaign. In one instance
he rushed into the enemy's ranks, and
singing ont one OF his naked foes, so bit and
worried him that he actually brought in his
prisoner in triumph. He was such favorite
with the men that, in heavy engagement.
their fire was suspended for a minute to
allow of his uninjured retreat from one of
his desperate forays. He lives to enjoy his
return and his hOnOrs, and is one of the
greatest pets of Belgrava.
