Political Draw Poker.

f. II the captain of Mississippi
steamboat, = overlooking the :; game
known as Draw Poker, upon which
the American Minister to the Court
|of St. James has lately published a
lively and entertaining essay, should
be appealed to by 8 passenger upon
whom gambler had just drawn four
aces from his sleeve, and should re-
ply that he did not want to be both
cred with such things, there might
arise suspicion as to his fitness for
his place. If he seemed on intimate
terms with the gambler, and fire.
quently winked at him in the prog
ress Of the game, there might be a
suspicion that he was not wholly dis
interested. The suspicion would be
likely to grow, if upon another plain
cheat he compelled the stranger to
give up the stakes. But if, after the
bets were made on another deal, the
gambler should deliberately turn
over the whole pack and pick out
four aces, while the captain called in
the deck hands to stand over the.
passenger with clubs, while the gam
bier raked down the money, there
would be no further doubt of COL
fusion. = El.-y-
The passengers on another boat we
know of have pretty much made up
their minds that Capt. Grant is not
an entirely disinterested spectator of
the game between gambler Kellogg
and Louisiana, and there is beginning
to be some indignation manifested at
it. But there's great wisdom and
wonderful discretion in the American
congress. 1t stands between the
and the Captain and says:
"oh let us be calm, gentlemen.
There has undoubtedly been cheat
ing around the board, and the. gam
bier has got the money. But let's
settle it peaceably. What We pro-
pose is that-you-let him keep what
he's got and have new DEAL"
They have not got so far yet as to
name the dealer. That will probably
be left to Capt. Grant. And he's
honest, Oh yes.
Our Minister to England ought to
write another essay en- Draw Poker

treasures for stakes.-[New York

John OrSborn's Bogus Claim.

Fraud and villainy cannot prosper
everywhere and forever. John Ors-
born, rejoicing in the office ofDistrict
Judge here, presented a claim against
the United States Government for
sixty-seven thousand and fifty dol
lars, for losses Of property during the
war, and his claim has been rejected.
So report the Claims Commission.
Every one here knows how righteous
is this decision. The claim is
sham and fraud, but if it were good
and honest, the money belongs to his
creditors and not to him. He went
into Bankruptcy and very likely
bought his own assets from Norton,
but the Court of Claims has seen
through his perjuries and dismissed
his claim. .-...... ...
Another Ofour citizens has claim.
MAT. WELLS
is said to have suffered to the tune
of three quarters of a million by the
losses Of the war and the Court of
Claims has his case before them
For man who has been insolvent
since he was twenty five years old,
and who never in nearly forty years
has claimed to own a dollars worth
of property, this is drawing it pretty
strong. He has not owned an acre of
land in forty years, nor a slave, and
when his creditors have asked for
pay, he never claimed to be the own
er of his crops. The Government
officers are hardly so negligent as not
to inform themselves on his past ca
reer, and will thwart his schemes in
part. He expects to buy support of
his claim by recent services as one
of the Returning Board, but he will
find that game is played out.

IT would be herculean task to
endeavor to conceive worse and more
unpropitious weather, than we have
been cursed with the whole of the
past week. In fact, since Christmas
the weather has been almost unbear-
able, and we fancy we have been
transplanted out of the Sunny South
and woe is ours all the time, so far,
this year. The only consolation we
have at our command is the fact that
it can't be worse, and surely any
change will be an improvement. Il i.

Meeting Of Conservative Colored
Voters.

A meeting of the Colored Conserv-
alive voters Of Alexandria and the
country, who voted the Peoples
Ticket in November last, was held at
the Town Hall, in Alexandria, on
Saturday, the 10th of January 1875.
Stephen White was called to act as
President, Carter Carr as Secretary.
The meeting was large and very or.
derby one and plainly gave the lie to
the many radical assertions that only
twenty five. colored men voted the
Conservative Ticket. The meeting
was addressed in good, plain, sensi.
BILE home talk by Libanius Kennedy,
and all together was creditable to all
those, who took an interest in it and
seem determined to maintain the
rights for which they cast their votes
at the late election.
The following were the Committee
ION Resolutions Prince Prothro,
Manuel Murray and FELTON, NJ. C.
Noratt; all were adopted and ordered
published,
l.. RESOLUTIONS:
RESOLVED, That this Meeting of
Colored Conservative voters Of this
Parish denounce the action of the
Returning Board at New Orleans in
fhlsifying the Election returns, and
returning the defeated candidates for
the Legislature and Sheriff and Cor
oner as elected, and we declare that
action unjust and violation of the
will of the people expressed at the
Ballot Boxes.
RESOLVED, That we personally de.
clare there was no intimidation at,
tempted in this Parish except the
intimidation of white voters by the
U. S. Cavalry, and the Deputy Mar
shall from New Orleans.
RESOLVED, That we Joined thu
white people Of this Parish at tn,
late election in their honest effort tt
secure good government and it wa.
Through us in part, that the Conser
vative Candidates were elected, AM
we hereby declare that we intend an,
are determined to continue to &C
with them, as long as they are tru,
to their promises to protect men O
all color in their rights.

COMMUNICATION.
ALEXANDRIA,
Jan. 16, 1851

EDITOR DEMoCRAT- '~
II may not be generally known to
your readers nor even to all of those
interested in the matter, that an ef-
fort is being made to induce the Con-
gress Of the United States to pension
the surviving officers and soldiers,
and widows and minor children OF
the dead, of the war of 1916 with
Mexico, and that, with this view, a
Convention was held in the City OF
washington a year ago, composed OF
Delegates from the different State
Associations of mexican Veterans
out of that Convention, which was
presided over by Gen'l Denver, and
tin which the Louisiana "Mexican
Veterans" were represented by Col.
Paul o. Hebert and myself by ap-
pointments from the State Associa-
ton in New Orleans of which Gen'l
Harry Hays is President, was formed
|''The National Association of Vete-
rams of the war with Mexico" of
which Gen'l Cadwallader Of Philadel-
phia is President, with Vice Presi-
dent for each State having State
organization, and of which Mr.. A. NJ.
Kenaday soldier in Colonel Buffers
Regiment from this State, now of
California, but located by ''The As
ISOLATION" of that State in Washing
ton City for the purpose of working
this matter, is the active, efficient
and energetic chief Secretary. This
National Association will meet again
in Washington City on 22d February,
and although shall probably not be-
able to be present at it, though Vice
President Of it for Louisiana, yet I
desire to send to it, as required by
'one Of its orders, as complete a Roll
as practicable Of the Company from
this Parish. j efI
Since my return home in October
last, / have ascertained that there is
living one man oft whose name does
not appear either on the muster-out
roll or pay roll, and who has never
received either pay, bounty-money,
or, bounty-land, although he served
continuously and faithfully from the
day of embarkation here, to the day
of re- embarkation at BRACES Island
there may he others of it in similar
situation for aught I know, for the
company was not mustered out under
my command-lf there are, desire
to have them righted, as shall en-
deavor to have the one referred To-
with these two views I raise once
more our old slogan-RAP1DEs, RISE!

NOTHING Can conduce more to
the prosperity and good name of a

ing enhances more the good name of
any community than when such a

standard in more respects than one.

DEATH OF AN OLD JOURNALIST.

CuIIcu dG liz AOAAO, IA - AAA>1SOA~s
Parish of Franklin, on the LIST day OF
the present year, and which we bare
lv mentioned in our last calls for a
more extended notice. Aside from
having been always pure man and
good citizen, he was one of the old
est Journalists and printers in Lou
isiana, and it is fit and just that the
pen which had labored with him in
the same cause and sphere for many
long years, should now as gratitude's
offering indite feeble, but truthful
tribute to his revered memory.
Lewis Tim was born in South Car
DINA in the year 1912, and came to
New Orleans in 1888 and worked at
the case in the Offices Of the Louisi-
ana Advertiser and the Louisiana
Courier up to the Spring of. 1898
when he was induced to come to
Alexandria, and take charge of the
Red River Republican, the first Dem
ocratic paper ever started in this
Town, which under his guidance, al
ded editorially by the brains of the
then Democracy, soon ranked among
the best Of country newspapers, and
was considered and looked up to as
the organ Of the party till 1916, when
the present Democrat stepped into
existence and claimed the party
reins. In 1S4S, our old friend, threw
off his Democracy and unfurled the
banner of Taylor and Fillmore, and
thus full fedged became the organ Of
the party he had so long fought with
his paper, and from that time to the
decadence Of the Know Nothing Party
he stuck to his second love and
fought his his old first one hard and
persistently. The old organ Of the
unterrifed, backed by sound princi-
Piles, was too much however for lin
and the Republican, so the latter soon
died for want of support, and our
friend turned to other 'felds and
pastures green" and left old Rapides,
but once more embraced his old par
ty, and died member in good stand
ing in the hearts of that now re;jubi-
liant party. ts.e s~i'
During his long residence here,
LEWIS Tim, never held but one Office
and that one he graced and = filed
with ability. He was Post Master OF
our Town from 1916 to 1853, and
then the mutations of party caused
him to make way for the writer of
this and tip his party beaver to the
old slogan: to the victors belong the
spoils. In more than one sense of
the word, Tim, was a remarkable |
man, was energetic, honest and a |
hard worker, and even now is kindly |
remembered by many of our oldest
and best citizens. He leaves to
his death wife, one Of the
best of her sex in feeble health, and |
a son in the flush of manhood, who
seems to inherit the best traits of the
father, will continue his Journal; and |
and both have the best and heartiest
sympathy of an old friend and COM
panion of their lamented relative.
