We deemed i. proper, few weeks

Committee, The propriety Of holding a
Democratic State Convention, where.
ever the party could assemble BY
their representatives., and prepare for
the coming campaign. IL this posi-

fed condemnation. An effort was made
to reconsider the vote cast on the last
ballot for Superintendent of Public In
struction, and instead of doing so the
County Court postponed the matter indef-
initely. 1t will be remembered that there
was one more vote cast on the last ballot
than there were Magistrates present. OF
course this invalidates the election of Esq.
WILKES, who received the largest number
of votes. Now the HERALD, in elections
of this kind, is not for or against any par
ticular man, and we want it distinctly un-
derstood that this article is not written in
the interest of any candidate. Esq. JAS.
Ii. WILKES is competent man, has had
many years of experience as a successful
teacher, and we have every reason to be-
lieve that he would make an excellent
Superintendent But he was illegally
elected, and therefore another election
should be held We consider it to be our
duty as journalists to warn the Magis-
trates that they cannot afford to let this
matter rest indefinitely, because to do so
would have the appesrance-to say the
least of it-of countenancing fraud. No
amount Of explanation can explain away
this plain fact, or keep the people from
seeing it.

The Flood.

New ORLEANS, April 20-Official tele
grams received to-day state that the whole
country from Monroe to the mouth of Red
River is under water and that 10, 900 people
in that district will is on the verge of star,
walton. Large numbers of negroes from
the overflowed districts are tlOCklng TO
this city. Gov. Kellogg has issued a
proclamation TO officials and citizens of
the overlooked district, assuring them that
the State government has done and is do
ing all that resources will allow TO allevi-
ate the sufierings of those who have been
reduced to restitution by disastrous Grey
asses and floods consequent upon recent
heavy rains. He states that application
has been made TO the general government
for aid which he has reason TO believe will
be promptly responded to; that the Mayor
of New Orleans, President ofthe Chamber
of Commerce, and a committee of dlstln-
guishcd citizens, arc doing all that can be
done to send immediate assistance to those
most in need, and that appeals have been
made to the great cities of the North
East and West, which will, doubtless, in
due tine Eing generous responses. He
states that food, clothing, aud money will
be forwarded without delay. He advises
against sending the distressed population
to this city, already Oyercrowded with UNI
people; recommends the organi-
cation of Parish committees for the distri-
button of supplies, and that laborers of
inundated districts be assisted in making
their way to Parishes which are not under
water, and where their services are still
needed.
In conclusion, the Governor says: 1t may
be that even out of this dire calamity some
good may come, through the attention of

A BETTER story than the many told of
West Sprngfeld's eccentric parson, the
Rev. DIR. Lothrop, at the centennial
gathering is told by the Rev. Mr.. Night
ingPle, of Crotch, Mass. If it is not true
it is good enough to be, not only in itself
but in the telling A young lady who was
a member of DR.. Lothrop's Church went
on a visit to a neighboring town, and while
there attended party and danced. It'd
ings of her sin reached home before her.
On her return she was visited and called
TO most severe account for the disg1a q
she had thus brought upon herself and'up-
on the church, and which had been done
among strangers, One staid maiden was
specially earnest in her rebukes. and made
the poor girl feel very bad What shall
do? she asked. 'You had better 90 aud

some Conservatives in this county
have been heard to say that they intended
to vote in the primary election, but that
if certain men received the nomination,
instead of their favorite, they would vote
for the independent candidates Now,
itthey expect to vote for the independent
candidates they should have at the self
respect not to vote in the primary election
The independent candidates are good
men and worthy citizens, and if man
wants to vote for them, and thereby elect
the Radical candidates, let him do So
this is free country. But he cannot
retain the respect and esteem Of his
friends and neighbors if he votes in the
primary election, and does not abide Its
decision Whoever votes in the primary
election, is honor bound to vote for the sue
cessful man. 1t is dishonesty not TO dc
so, pure and simple.

SEVERAL weeks since we showed, by
those great inHexible truth-tellers, figures:
that Maury County paid annually $4,000
more tor freights than she would have
TO pay if we had competing lines of rail
road. This is about one dollar and three
quarters Gu every man, woman aud child
in the county, not one of whom fails to
feel its burden II il is argued that this
is a small sum, and will not be felt by
each person, we reply that neither will a
tax fer railroads be felt by the people
when it is divided out. This $4,000 Is
as much a loss to the county as if it were
burned up, whereas that much taken III
railroad stock will be worth a considera-
b'e.sum, fit doesn't bring par value. Who
ever opposes a taxation for railroad pUr'
poses does so from prejudice, after be
fully investigates the matter; for it can
be demonstrated so that the most ignorant
can understand that it will save the
county thousands Of dollars every year to
build competing lines of railroad. In the
single article of cotton alone We pay
over $4,000 a year more than We would
pay with a competing line. If any man
doubts any ofour statements, let him 60
TO the depot agents, get the figures, and
make the comparison.
