THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Itappears tour boys have been
celebrating the 4th of July in London
right in heafibg'of Queen Victoria's
loyal ones, and that the celebration
was not we'll taken or received on the
occasion. The Americans, among
whom was u. S. Grant, .fls., son OF
the President, must have been too
afull of the occasion" and offended
English dignity. Here is what the
London Standard has to say about it,:
LONDON, July 6.-Two hundred
persons were present ut the banquet
given by the Americans last evening
in honor of the anniversary Of the
Declaration Of Independence. -
Among the guests were:U. S. Grant,
Jr., son Of President Grant; Messrs.
Hoffman and Cheeseborough, of the
Legation in London; Messrs. Wood
house and Stevens, Hugh Mccullough
Gen. Bradford, Sir Frederick Perkins
and Henry Richards, member of Par
lament.
The Standard of to-day contains
an exceedingly violent article against
the celebration by the Americans. 1t
says that none but the Americans
would venture such display Of bad
taste and discourtesy as was shown
in yesterdays celebration, and none
but English would tolerate it. It is
hardly decent for any loyal English
man to participate in a celebration Of
English disasters. The American
instruction was about the most TN
provoked rebellion in history.
In the present times forbearance
and Cancellation on TIE English side
is returned by America with insult
and abuses, which is only encoun-
tered by cringing fattery, and this
Dean Stanley calls reconciliation and
peacemaking. The Standard in con-
GLIDING its article, says: "Among
Americans there are but few not &C
tually participating in the general
system of public plumber in their
country who would not joyfully ex-
change their institutions for the Or
der, honesty and loyalty of this en-
pire from which, a century ago, they
made their insane revolt" tif
The American Consuls at Dundee
and Southampton were also present
at the banquet. FL

DEAD.-Lexington, the grand old
racer, the 'sgetter" of more winners
than any other horse America ever
produced, is dead. He died near Lex
lington, KY, on the 1st inst, in the
26th year Of his age. He survived
for many long and useful years his
great competitor and rival Lecomte
who died in old England in 1856
The great four mile race ran
between Lecomte and Lexington, or
1.-THE famed old Metarie Course, on the
l4th of April, A. D. IN which the for.
mer was the winner, stands yet with.
out an equal in the records of the
turf as legitimate race Of heats o.
four miles, and the time is yet the
fastest on record: 7:26-7:38 "a
While recording the death of gran(
old Lexington, we can't help dropping
this leaaet on the English sod of oul
own Lecomte and claiming yet 70,
him the championship of the Amer
ican turf, as the best and fastest foul
mile nag of the day. In that grea
race Iecomte carried three and thre,
quarter pounds over weight and wa!
ridden without whip or spur.

"A remarkable, and we. may add,
a most criminal feature attached to
the guilt of our not receiving any
mails in ten days past is, that we
think-the main blame should be fas-
tened to the New Orleans Post Mas
ter. He has ample authority, is in
telegraphic communication with
Washington every minute of the day,
and should have hired temporary
service at once and sent the mails
until, at least, the Contractor could
be forced to start them. This was
easily done, and should have been
done and not left this immense and
important country entirely without
mails from anywhere. Such gross
neglect Of plain duty never would be
permitted to occur under any Gov.
eminent but such a one as we are
cursed with.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1875-07-14

BEFORE the new mail arrange
ment, which started into operation on
the first of the present month, the
Shreveport mail was to our office an
important one, and often helped us
out in New Orleans failures, and
ought to have been our shield in our
present perplexities. But, it never
rains, but it pours, and we have to
record it nearly as big nuisance as
the New Orleans layout. What with
this fix and very few boats, and
these with non-paper clerks on the
watch, we are really in sad fix, and
in twenty five years journalistic ca
reer, cannot recount similar freak
on the part of a Government, that
owes us protection intellectually.

ABOUT HOME.

The Slow but sure pendulum Of
old fatker time has yihrated around
another week incur news papefdo s.
dull, monotonous aud hotsone- yet
still, We 1--we, Ne breathe and the
Democrat is on hand this Wednesday
morning once more, despite all en-
tangling alliances and the total sus-
pension Of Uncle Sans Mails.
Though our maiden drawback Of the
kind, we have managed to make a
tolerably fair reading sheet, and ask
indulgence accordingly, for we must
stop that Internal and unwelcome cry
Of copy from printers who never wish
to be behind, and are wide awake to
The rafting music of the progressive
hour of the present day.
Our favored blessing, our staff OF
life, our all, the crops, the crops of
Rapides, are all we have painted
them; and our planters and farmers,
serenely and composed, are waiting
for the gathering harvest, which with
the present outlook must be grand
and immense. Finer or more season
able weather Gould not be. anticipated,
specially if croakers are willing to
admit that July is a hot month in a
Southern cline. We will always
compromise for July instead of De-
cember 'hereabouts, if for nothing else
on our known principles, that our ice
bills are less than our fuel bills
here we come in and can see our
profits.
And our old fast friend, old Red,
has finally found out it is falling sea-
son, and you can be assured her ticks
lin that line are more than lively.
Three full feet, since our last,
notches her decline, and means
business. 54 . S .s5s
The old burgh, though in some re-
gard seasonably duh, yet reverber-
ates to the genuine music of the
Ratchet, the trowel and the jack -plane,
finished off by the bright touches Of
the painter-our vis-G-vis neighbor,
and our below-us neighbor, Girard
and Williams, are the energetic re-
minders to US of this pleasing busi-
ness interlude, whilst the finishing
and really tasty painting Of Levin's
new Building adds lustre to the pic
ture Of improvements we feel proud
to record. Outside of all this, our
merchants and traders are safely res
ting on their trafflc-oars and watching
with a keen eye and a voluptuous
relish for the good coming hour.
That first bale ofnew cotton is again
on the tapis, and surely all are on the
watch for it-this alone will stave of
dull care from their fnrrowed brow,
and never permit them once to dream
of catapil!ars. En- fassaAt, we begin
to believe that the champion worm.
man is lost in a fog, and all hopes Of
his saving his dista-ce, this season
are blotted out-we think we have
got him one time at last, which may
bring US luck.

Of our paper will be in Geographic

again in the pale of civilization. We
congratulate her people on SO grand
a result, and give our friend Cosgrove
a welcome tip of our "banditti," that
his Vindicator is now to derive real
advantages from this new and live
departure. Here with us we are yet
stalking around in our grave clothes,
and waiting for some kind undertak-
er to store us away, and cannot souch
when the Democrat will be forced to
cut loose from these death throbs of
a business Town, who yet cling with
old fogy tenacity to false gods. We
guarantee they shall not rest for want
of reminder of their sins by the
Democrat; we shall fight this incubus
to the bitter end.
