ST. HELENA POLITICS.
A Radical Patriot.
How He Went for the War
rants.

The Radicals aae having quiet little set-to
in ST. Helena parish all amongst themselves.
An individual by the name Of J. i. Davis,
alias Jack. has been endeavorngsto get him
self whitewashed, and it seems that his labOrs,
although attended with some success, have
been fruitful in raising squalls III the negro
camp.
In the Republican, Of july Sd, amongst other
resolutions passed at a meeting of the Repub-
iican Parish Committee, we find the following
ResolUed, That we, the Republicans Of this
parish, do indorse j. b. Davis, and all of his
acts, and know him to be a true and tried
Republican working for the interest and
welfare of the party, not for the mere spoils
of Office.
We propose to show how this disinterested
patriot "works for the interest and vel
fare Of his party and not for the mere spoils
of Office"
Jurors for the Parish Of St Helena p. 2 hillips,
W. w. Watson, w. H. Ramsay, D. S. Cor
man and Berry Robinson. After meeting,
Phillips was elected President, and the pure
and innocent J. 3. Davis was placed in the
position of clerk. 1t was but very short
time before the itching palm of this man Davis
brought him in contact with the police war
rants Of the parish and the old story followed
He quietly made overtures to W. H. Ram
say, one of the jury, and they entered into a
conspirac to plumber the parish in whole
sale way. They managed to procure two old
rejected warrants against the parish from par
ties in whose possession they were, and in
satisfaction of them issued nine new ones, for
500 each. The new issue was presented to
the treasurer of ST. Helena, who believing
everything correct registered them, which
gave to them current value
1t seems that in the simplicity Of their
hearts the police jury had given power to
Davis to issue warrants for outstanding ac
counts and he did it with a vengeance. After
reflection the Treasurer had suspicion that all
was not right, and he informed the President
of the Police Jury that nine warrants for one
hundred dollars each, payable to one man,
had been registered, and inquiry was set on
foot at once cancerning them.
The swindle was soon discovered and Davis
and Ramsey were indicted in September,
1873, by the Grand Jury. A capias was issued,
and this youth, who doesn't labor" for the
mere spoils Of Office, was arrested and put
under bonds on the 20th Of November, 1873,
ex-senator w. L. Thompson going as security.
Davis, it appears, is in a position which en-
ables him to have the records Of the court
under his control, and il is more than prob
able that the case will be quietly hushed up.
This mild-mannered man stands also
charged before our courts with obtaining
money under false pretenses.
When next st. Helena manufactures pure
patriot, she should exercise little more dis
elimination

A SUGGESTION AND A PM
PARTY NAME.

To the Editor of the New Orleans Bulletin
The polit cal principles Of parties befd
war were well defined Not SO now.
strife, at its termination, necessari Y mobile
nd changed, in many respects, the lines OF
political parties. A Whio and Democrat
knew the principles which the names indi-
Gated The present patty in power ludlclously
adopted new name: a name under which
even Democrats could rally The question
now is if i'll Louisiana q name could not be
suggested which would unite all the opponents
Of the dsurping State Government. We fear,
unless there is complete fu~ ion OF all the v;t-
rious clubs, success may not attend the efforts
OF the people to secure il wholesome admins
tration of home affairs.
| We have Democratic Clubs Independent
Clubs White League Clubs, Seymour Lee
gions. Crescent Mounted Clubs, Minute
Men, Gr.tz Brown Clubs, Hancock Clubs,
Rangers, etc., all having single object in
view The Democratic party has already
chosen delegates and called State Conven-
ton to nominate candidates. Will clubs
under other names unite with the Democratic
party and adopt the candidates which will be
chosen? That is the serious question. Ii any
one or more of these clubs will not enlist
under the Democratic banner, will they unite
with the Democratic party under another
name?
The grand object Of all is to drive out OF
power the usurpers. who do not govern but
rob the people Of the State. All clements OPP
posed to Kellogg, carpet-baggers and ignorant
negroes. must be fused into one harmonious
whole Success without this is impossible
We must live under this so-called Govern
ment, but to enjoy the rights secured by con-
stitutional guarantees, this corrupt and in
famous Government must be overthrown 1t
is but an organized band of the bad men of the
North, the drift-wood of the last war, which
floats and testers in slums and cesspools.
This corrupting, this stygian stencil must be
disinfected, and the only disinfectant is a
hearty union Of all opposed to it.
We suggest a name to which no objection
can be made. A name under which Demo-
Gratis, Wings, Republicans Liberal Repubi-
cans, and even negroes can rally without the
sacrifice of either prejudice Or principle ; a
name which cannot call to mind old political
associations and old antipathies: name which
embodied an idea which aroused all the enthu-
siasm Of Old Hickory We suggest that all
opposed to misrule should adopt this name:
The UNION PARTY OF LOUISIANA.
Under this name all can rally. Will the
Democratic party and clubs adopt this name
and unite with all clubs of the same name :?
Will all clubs enlist under this name Union
is strength. and UNION PARTY can and will
triumph L.

THE LAND OFFICE.

WASHINGTON, July 9-The Western Land
O,eaer for July contains the following:
There are remaining in the General Land
Office undelivered, more than 300, 900 patents
for agricultural land. OF this number, -, 600
are from Illinois, and nearly as many from In
diana and Missouri. Among them are patents
signed by Monroe, and by every other Presi-
dent up to Lincoln.
The cause of this accumulation of patents
is that many land owners believe the dupli-
cate receipt is sufficient evidence Of title to
their land 1t. ought not to be SO regarded
Entries are being constantly Cancelled by the
General Land Office for informality, and if
the address of an interested applicant is not
known at the local Office, as too often is the
case, the party to whom he has sold his land
viii some day be much astonished to find
another person holding the Government
patent for his property.

The New York .Journnt Of Commerce refers
to the abundant harvests now about to be
ingathered and thus accounts for the gen
eral dullness in the face Of prosperity: :" Cap
ital, in view OF cheaper food, will not invest
in labor at these high rates. and labor is sui
len and cannot see that employment at any
price is the first step toward recovery. If all
the men. women and children who expect to
earn their own living would put their hands to
the nearest and most pressing Of the offered
employments at the best price to be had, the
new day would send its glory up the eastern
sky without an hours delay. The same rule
applies to tnldesmen and all classes of
business. Not to despise small things not to
refuse trivial engagements, but to lay hold Of
every opportunitv, is the way to rise ont of the
depths Of depression. The combination among
workingmen to restrain all conformity to the
situation all concessions 10 the requirements
Of the hour. and to insist that there shall be
no return to healthy activity throughout the
country except upon the conditions they have
prescribed. must be broken down before there
can be that general prosperity after which all
hearts are yearning. The very thing which
the workmen seeIa most to fear comes laden
with their highest good.
