THEGCRoPs.-In an extended
journey over the gfeater portion Of
our parish, last week, we had an op
portunity to Judge for ourselves OF
the prospects Of the coming CROP
Our observation extended over bay
GUS EobeIt, Beeuf and Rapides and
the hill crops on . this side of Red
River. 1t gratifes us to be able to
report that the prospects of a good
crop are promising and encour-
aging.
The cane crop is really fine-this
is particularly true of the stubble
cane. The cane fields are covered
with good stands of both stubble
and plant, looks we'll, is clean and
growing finely.
The late corn seems to be doing
better than the old, but both give
promise of a good corn crop. The
cotton is generally backward and
spa|l, but the stand is excellent
the color good and the cotton grow
ing fast. We think that we can
safely promise a good crop for this

State Convention at Alexandria.

:. Last week we copied an article
from the Shreveport Times, suggest
ing that the State Convention b<
held at Alexandria in August. The
Louisiana Democrat has taken ny
the question and like us, is warmly
in favor of it and joins us in extend
ing cordial invitation to the dele
gates from the other parishes, and
in the assurance that We will make
them comfortable while here. We
have the largest hotel in the State
outside Of New Orleans; our new
Court House is the finest in the
State, not excepting any in New
Orleans; besides which we have two
other large halls, either of which
will amply accommodate the con.
vention; and our fine side wheel
packet, the Bart Able, will afford a
pleasant trip up on Monday and
back again on Wednesday. We
adopt the suggestion of the Demo
Graf, that the Copvention be held
here on
Monday the 3, day August.
next. If there is no other call, let
the different parishes send delegates
here then and we will have con
vention OF the people, regardless Of
parties. Some such step is imper.
atively necessary, at an early day.

The Will Of the People.

Government derives it's only force
from the will and consent of the
governed. Anyoothcr COVER nment is
a Csurpation, whether republican
or monarchical in its form, and his.
tory is full of instances where the
people have risen in their might
aud overturned both the govern.
ment and the Usarper.
Among the ways of cheating the
people of Louisiana out of their
choice Of rulers, the radicals and
negroes devised the cunning schelze
of constituting a Returning Board
with power to count the oyotes, OF
in other words, to always count the
radicals and negroes in,o and. the
white people ont.
We have heard objections to ma
king any fght.this Fall, and from
sources where we least expected it,
because, it is urged, if we win, KEEL
logg's Returning Board will count
us out any way. To all such croak
ers we will say that the day is past
wheh the people OF Louisiana mean
to submit again to such frauds
upon their rights. If we win we
will have the election or we will
have anarchy. Texas and Arka6-
sas has taught us a lessoA have
pointed out the way, and we will
not be slow to follow it. Under
the present election law the votes
are to be counted at the parish
seats, and it will be- easy TO know
whether or not we have won, and
if we win, as we will, if the white
people unite, we wi j have what we
have won, if we have to go further
than the people yent i'll Arkansas.
We don't intend to be cheated again
and a united people driven to des-
peration are by no means to be tri,
fed with.

The coAins Campaign

The political fight this Fall is for
the redemption Of our State, un.
mixed. with a national campaign
and presenting no national issues.
1t is fortunate for us that it is SO.
1T matters to us but little who is
President or who goes to Congress,
but we are directly interested in the
questions as to who is Governorwhat
sort Of q Legislature we have and
who fills the Parish Offices I ut is
true, that it is.more than probable
that we willhave Kellogg, the Usur-
per, fastened upon us for two years
more, but five. can get control of the
House. Of Representatives, he will
find himself, as will his negro
Senate, shorn Of the power to OPP
press us, and utterly at our mercy.
A proper organization of the white
people of the different parishes will
secure the election Of a majority Of
the lower house of the Legislature.
The election by the white people
of the State Treasurer, will prove to
the North and particularly to Con-
gress, the truth of our assertion that
we carried the State in 1872, and
will doubtless force that. body to
give US relief by a new election for
all the State Offices, or at least by a
recognition Of our right to those
officers by admitting our Senator
and Representatives into Congress.
On the other hand, if the negroes
elect the Treasurer our hopes in
that quarter will be eiectually
crashed, and our protestations be
belied.
The election of the different Par
ish officers will result in the mate
rial improvement Of our condition
at home and will secure q fair and
honest administration OF the jury
laws, and the election law in 1876.
All or any of these results will en-
courage our own eople aud proper
tionately discourage the negroes
and make success in the future a
certainty. 1t is for the people to
determine whether all these COM
bined, make a stake worth their
united and vigorous efforts. or
whether they will fold their hands
and hand the parishes and the State
over to the negroes. The question
is already answered, we heard the
voice of a large portion Of the peo-
pie of our parish last week, and the
stentorian tones in which they de-
clared that they would never give
up the fight, will find suc!gSoan echo
ing response among all the White
people Of Rapides,- as will put oul
glorious old parrish into the bonds
Of her rishtiul Ju!!e:s-the honest
and. intelligent white people. So

The White League"

THE White League"
From the New Orleans Picayune.
The course of the carpet-bag dem.
agogues in this State, in driving or
cajoling the negroes into distinct Or
CARNATIONS, and a concentrated
mass Of voters, operating on a race
and color basis, has produced it's
natural and apprehended results.
The responsibility for this open and
declared purpose of the colored PEG
pie to stand aloof from all political
ASSOCIATION and cooperation with
the great majority of. the whites
including the whole of the more in
telligent and virtdous of them; to
maintain a segregated negro party;
to draw q broad line of separation
and hostile antagonism between the
two races, very certainly attaches
to the African race. They have
scorned all efforts and approaches to
induce them to divide as the white
people do everywhere else on po]it-
ical questions, principles and ideas.
Even when they are drawn towards
the white conservative people by
many Strong interests and ties they
are repealed by the menaccs OF their
brethren and the prejudices of their
race. These prejudices and pas
sions have been kept aliveo by
the cunning devices and appeals of
the white robbers and Adventures
who are the prime authors of the
political troubles and discords of
our people.
Thus we are threatened with a
race Conflict in this State. It does
not comport with the selfrespect
and pride of the white race to make
any further appeals to this mis-.
guided people. They are crazed
with the pride and ambition to lord
it over their superiors in ciyiliza-
ton, in virtue, and intelligence
This cannot be any longer. Hence
the organization Of the White
League in the country parishes
1t has been forced upon the people
by the misery and impoverishment
brought upon tie State by govern
ments which owe their existence
and their power to plumber and OPP
press, to the concentrated negro
vote. We TRUST that the dep)orable
consequences which mus: result to
the statefrom a conflict, thus pro-
voked, will be avoided by the aban-
aonment on the part of the colored
voters of the position of irreconcila-
bic hostility toward the respecta-
bic, white people, and their aliena-
ton from the low class of white
llemagogues and rogues who have
hitherto managed them for their
own base uses. We see no other
course that can save this State from
;he horrors of a conflict of races of
I most serious character. There
