River Items.

The Kate Kinney left this port Monday
night with about 1000 bales OF cotton. She
had over a foot to spare. But very fe"
passengers.
The Bastrop went down Tuesday with
all the cotton she could store. Her guards
were one half under water.
The u. $. snagboat Wag"ncr left Monday
for Camden. She will commence ut once
the removal of Snags and other ob'tru'ti"ns
in the upper river. Upon reaching The Bar
tholomew, in descending, the Wagner
will go up that st realn and attend I" the
snues in that tributary of the Ouachitn.
A small boat named the South shore il to
be entered in the Bartholomew and Mon
roe and Trenton trade.
The Fanchon wont up light Monday. Sht
will reach Camden, and will come down
with Il handsome trip, no doubt.
1t is rumored that Capt. Jn". robin Will
very soon put an opposition limo in the
Ouachita and that the Pargoud may return
to her native waters this season.
The Willie went down "Wednesday w,tl
nearly Il full load of cotton.
1t is unnecessary amy longer to keep ar
count of tho rise in the river by inches
| The rise has been, in two weeks, UMPIRE
| cedented, and there il water ah"i'dan' Il
float the Great Eastern. We have nothin.
from the upper tributaries, but doubt II"
| that they are all full.

He Saw Blaine.

Not long ago the Augusta Niaine) stand
ard published letter from John \ Foster,
editor of the Newark On. j. Counter, to the
Hon, James @. Blaine, in which he charEen
Grant with being member of a secret anti
Catholic order, and advised Blaine I" ais"
Join it in order to offset Grant. His Ian
guage was this:
will be the secret ti-Catholir order.
Grant ia a member of it, and it has II good
deal of strength in Congresa think You
ought to go in. 1t can be arranged so that
YOU can he initiated anywhere ny one per
SON Tho order is spreading widely. My
obligations do not permit me TO say more
| than this, except that G rant no doubt relies
| upon it to promote his aims
| When this letter appeared in tho Demo
Foster fastened TO deny that he ever wrote
any such letter, and all tho Republican pa
pers Justify cried out that II was ioSerN'
| But Foster hurried away to Washingto ON
result is that he writest to the New N"rh
Tribune acknow Lodging that he wrote the
letter and used tho identical language CON
tanned in it, and that the Democratic edition
who published it must have stolen il from
the Augusta (Maine) Post -otlire-and that
4 | the said Democratic editor seems "to have
IA lower sense OF honor than the thieves
that infest the slums of New Iork.''
. Our theory of the case is that when Fos't 81
!. saw his Blaine letter in print. he imagine,
!. that it had actually miSrarricd and becl
stolen, and that therefore he coulu Safrl,
II lie ont of it. But when he Blaine, h,
II discovered that it had been published h,
1 | Blaine's contrivance and for the injury ~

ical efforts to persuade the old Wings To
become Radicals
Some time since we received Il pamphlet
copy of the Republican address ito the old
line Wings. ~ 1t was too long to read. But
We were struck with the audacity of the
Republican Committee in endearoriug to
induce men who were Wings twenty years
ago to get into their fold.
Democracy now, at least Southern pcnO-
cracy, don't mean what il did in the day :
of Wings and Democrats. They We're both
honorable parties.
The Democratic party of l.ouisiana now
means the Intelligent, honest people al
Louisiana, who are opposed ca mdSSs to tn,
Republicans, and who will never cease Il
of their rule. That party includes all th'
good old Wings.

The Convention.

The acknowledgements State Con-
vention meets in New Orleans next We'd

delegation from this portion of the State
will be slim, and that New Orleans will
come up with a disgraceful row on Its hands.
caused by what vital issue in the interests
of the State we are wholly unable to dis
cover. Nevertheless. we trust the ConVen-
ton will deal with the situation with wis
dom, and in .discharging its limited duties
to the people will be guided by the inevi-
table demands of the hour, namely: II
hearty endorsement of the National Dem
ocracy, and a vigorous onslaught upon
ignorance and corruption organized to
overthrow the liberties and prosperity of
the whites. BY this, we mean war upon
Negro domination in louisiana.

Wanting ana Immigration.

The lands along the Ouachita are begin
ming to attract that attention which years
ago we felt assured they would. Inc
demand for improved lands, even thus
early, has been greater than any previous
winter, and no doubt would have peeh
much greater had applicants found places
to supply their wants But the owners,
generally, prefer to cultivate their planta-
tions, having them already stocked and in
GOOD condition for another crop, and this
fact has left but few places for rent.
The question of labor is apparently giving
no trouble to the planters, as there IS no
reduction by removals Oft the labor employ
ed the past season and which was suIhciei''
to cultivate the lands. Tho uncertainty OF
the kind of labor, however, has stimulated
some of the landholders to encourage white
immigration, and we notice with pleasure
that DR.. Thos. Richardson and Mr.. D. w.
Scarborough of this parish, nave on the'r
places sufficient white labor to work them
| DR. Richardson has several families who
came from Arkansas and have gone earnest
| lv to work. Mr.. Scarborough has seven
| white families from Alabama and Georgia
who are already preparing for next years
| crop. The number Of voters gained to
| GOOD government is about fifteen. We
| trust that these immigrants Will be kindly
| received and encouraged, and congratulate
| them upon the 1act thelf coh'it '''s' al ~
! with good men who Will not take advantage
| of their condition.
| We earnestly commend to the recently
| formed Immigration Aid Society the course
pursued by DR.. Richardson and Mr.. Scar
borough, acting individuals, and urge
| immediate action in the interest OF white
! immigration to this fertile region. We are
told that in the older States east OF fhf
| Mississippi, where the lands are exhausted
there are thousands OF white men with
families who will gladly embark in the
cultlvation OF our rich alluvial lands, and
lack only the proper encouragement t'
come and build up homes in our midst
The change from country overr"n w'i
INDECENT, unn:,na:seable labor, to ac"''ntrA
, filed with thrifty, reliable whites in sym
r pathy with propert y-holders and who vii
, help to elevate public morals, is chang
| we'll worth striving for and should recelV
the sanction of every good citizen.
