Our contemporary of the Ouachita
Telegraph, has an eye upon that pro.
posed Convention Of radicals at Mon.
roe, and promises to let US know all
about it when they assemble. There
are so many seekers for the Office Of
Governor among the scalawag and
carpet-bag leaders, that we look for
lively time sat their Conventions and
then the negro element has not, it
seems, been consulted in regard to
tue matter. What scalawag and car
-pet-baggers propose the colored radi-
cal may dispose.

Blunt Sounds his Fog Horn.
THE COLORED MAN TO DEPART TO
THE LAND OF PROMISE-BLUNT
IN THE ROLE OF MOSES.

At the mass meeting Of tho negroes
and white radicals on Saturday last,
a series of resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted, pledging, that
the colorel men of this parish would
sell ont their property and be prepar-
ed to depart these shores on the first
day of January, 1s76-with their
great champion, Blunt, in the van.
We have heard this thing threat
ened more than once before, in fact,
30 often as to become quite stale, but,
it has not been our pleasure to see
them take such a stand as this. The
leaders may imagine that this kind of
talk will brighten the white land
owners, bnt they are much mistaken
on the contrary, when the hour for
their exodus comes, We will bid them
all, God speed. The negro will no
longer rule ia this State-tl,at time is
happily passed-but he will be always
protected in his constitutional rights
and privileges, and he will find
much more happiness and content
ment under the rule of white men of
intelligence who represent the mate
rial interest Of a community, than
under all the carpet-bag, bayonet
rules in the world. Our planters and
land owners will unite in q grand
body to see them off with their Moses,
and will wish them Joy in their land
Of promise; snch as will 90, if they
are without means, can be helped
along and We venture to say that
more money can he raised here for
that purpose tLan for any other.
Blunt and his crowd are at perfect
liberty to depart, and that hour will
be hailed with delight by all our
white citizens, and a large majority Of
colored me,. that Blunt does not NOT
cannot rule.

We would beg to know why it is
that We have no Public School in this
city or parishi Will some of our
radical officials inform us who is run
running the school affairs herei Mon
ey, we know, 10 in the Treasury, for
it was drawn not long since by Myers,
FROM the State authorities. While
upon the school question will sena-
tor ~ Blunt explain Why, how, and
when, H. O>,fyess' bond was can
celled. We arc ct q loss to know all
theGe things, and they must needs be
set to rights before people will place
any confidence in what radicals may
cay or do here.

SINCE WHEN1-Since when have
ignorant negroes and thieving whites,
ruled the honest aud respectable Of
our citixensl Since the radical party
disfranchised enough whites to allow
. minority Of negroes to rule-since
radical returning boards could over
come the expressed will Of a people
since troops entered Ststehouses and
expelled at the bsyonet's point, mon
fairly and legally elected ; in fact, all
the queries under the heading, "since
when" oflast weeks Republican, have
been since radicals, Southern radi-
calls, have had the way to do as they
pleased, backed, not BY q majority Of
voters, but by regiments Of troops.

We would beg to inquire how many
white men in this parish belong to the
radical party-.their names and ante
cedents; and where the new recruits
are coming from. It is all stuff about
''new men, going into snch a party
as is represented by the tag-end here.
The record Of every radical in Match
itoches parish is known from Maine to
California; it is most damning, a.
they themselves we'll know.
Promoters, aiders and abettors in
the most gigantic frauds; leaders in
ignorance and vice, are not apt to &C.
quire respectable strength from vir.
tuous people. We know that these
radicals may "feel good,n but We
know also that it will not last lonse,
than the end of next campaign.

cannot rule

District Court, under his Hon. G..
Chaplin, was opened on Monday last.
The Grand Jury was drawn, eight
whites and eight blacks, with Mr..
Charles Levy as foreman, when the
court adjourned until Monday next
to await the results of the H. G. N.Y.
ers' contest in the Supreme Court.
Since writing the above We learn
that a number of our leading tax.
payers have petiticned his Hon. Judge
G. Chaplin, to defer the holding Of
court until the Supreme Court does
finally pass upon tho legality of the
contesting parties for the judgeship.
The reasons assigned by these tax
payers are tenable and Of moment.
The burdens incurred by the parish,
already heavily taxed, in the way Of
expenses for Jurors, witnesses, &C.,
in criminal cases !; the expense also
to parties liz civil suits, when the
Question of iudgeship isin contest and
undetermined, are mattaaa -, WHICH
tie calculated to influence Judge
Chaplin to do in the premises, that
which he think best for our people.
We are fully satisfied that the judge
will determine correctly in tho affair
and decide which is legal and proper.

This paper made mention some
weeks since Of the election Of city of.
6cials 10 Coushatta. We received
our information for oil statements
then made from reliable authority.
The matter is open to investigation,
however, but We are prepared to
prove our part Of It. The peoples
ticket 'cas elected, as We understood,
but never commissioned, on the con-
trary, an entire different set we're.
That, in itself, is q sufficient cause
upon principle, to "clamor''. about.
When the law states that we are en-.
titled to elect city governments and
we do elect them, aud the ''higher
autborities' override tho law and
appoint others, that ends the matter,
and all men should clamor do worse
than clamor If required to change it.

We find. that the comments Of
the Eastern Democratic press is
not as commendable as it should
be upon the financial plank in the
platform of their Ohio brethren.
The West and South wants more
money, which the East has to
loan at high rates of interest-the
East got this money from the
Government, and we want some
oft the same way. Bond holders,
bankers and money.lenders will
not like any thing in the shape Of

Death of Gov. Henry M. Hyams.
From tho N. q. Picayunc.

A standard. bearer of the ancient re-
gime has fallen, and the breezes that
to-day sweep from the fair fields Of
Louisiana are laden with signs and
lamentations. Gov. Henry NJ. Hyams
died Friday morning at $ o'clock, in
the SEVENTEEN year of his age. A
gentleman of intellect, Of honor and
sterling integrity, and patriot whose
warm heart was his shield of nobility,
his death cannot but be sincerely de-
plored.
A brief outline of his life would
not DO here inappropriate. The de-
ceased emigrated, as young man, in
1898, from Charleston, s. c., his ma
tive place, in company with his kinds
| man, the great lawyer and orator, Hon.
]. P. Benjamin. He was at one time
cashier Of tho Canal Bank at Donald
sonvillc. Ho afterward studied law
in Mr.. Livermore's Office, and came
to tho bar, settling in Alexandria, La.
He there formed partnership with
Dunbar and E!gee, who for many
years monopolized the law practice Of
Red River. In 1883 Mr.. Hyams NOV
ed with his family to New Orleans,
and Was soon elected to the State Sen
ate. lie afterward became Lieuten'
ant Governor.
In politics the deceased was
staunch Democrat. Jealous of the
honor and dignity of his adopted
State of Louisiana, he firmly opposed
all compromise with plundcring Radi.
calism. Gov. Hyams was an honest
man, and he always adhered to the
principles he had advocated from ills
youth and to his conviction of duty
| As a lawyer he was learned III ju'
risprudence, and an able practitioner
Although courteous to the members
of the bar, he was sometimes stron<
in the delivery Of sarcastic language
His enunciation was full Of animation
and power. He was also clos
reader, and possessed fine literary at
tainments.
, The downfall of tho South-th
, death of his fair and accomplished
! daughters and of two soDs-the lat
ter within one year-and recently tn
, demise Of the worthy and cherished
6 wife Of his bosom, all contributed t.
break his noble spirit. He had dc
: voted all his affection to these beings
too dear to him, and their loss, to us
Irving's phrase, was the bankruptc
of his heart. This good, and true
and chivalrous old man has died over
whelmed with grief!
}. Roses and violets will bloom an
. wither over his grave; but the men
, ory of his civic virtues and sterlin
:: worth will be imperishable.

The White-Man's PARTY,
From the Shreveport Times,

Below we give an extract from tl,e
report Of an interview with Hon. Ben
Hill, Of Georgia. by correspondent
of the Vicksburg Herald. It viii be
seen that Mr.. Hill believes that thu
organization Of the whites Of Ni,sim.
inDi. upo basis like that adopte,,
in Louisiana in 1874, is the best houe
for the redemption Of that State. He
saws that policy saved Georgia; We
know it carried Louisiana against
radicalism, aud, with him, we BE-
lieye it will redeem Mississippi.
When the same policy is adopted in
South Carolina, there will he hope
for that State. The Vicksburg ps-
pers arc advocating the organization
of tho whitc-man's party, and we
hone they will continue to do 50 viz.
orously. But if they hope to accom-.
plish anything, they must force what
are known as moderate men ont Of
the leadership, and even out Of tho
councils Of the party; men With
SKINNED. milk politics will not do
for this sort of movement. Drop
democracy, fusionisni, conservatism,
and organize the white people Of the
State as a party against the party Of
rogues and swiDdlers, and, notwith.
standing hor considerable negro ma.
iority, Mississippi will give an anti
radical majority of five or six, proba-
bly, Of ten thousand, votes.
Here is what the Herald's corres-
pondent says Of Mr.. Hills views, and
let it be remembered that Mr.. Hill il
ono of tie ablest men in the South :
! Mr.. Hill expressed great hopes that
Mississippi would be able, as Georgia
has, to redeem herself from radical
rule. .
He said he looked forward to tie
coming fall election in Mississippi,
with an interest that did not confne
itself to that election, but that Ell
tended to the influence it would haye
upon elections in other Southern
States. He was hopeful that every
one Of the seeded States would soon
I've rid of tho corrupt government
that have retarded their prosperity
and was confident that under demo
cratic and honest administration!
every one of them would bloom ant
blossom with prosperity.
Tho correspondent then asked M
Hill il he favored the "oolor line
policy to which he replied:
It saved Georgia, cir, and can't
see what other hope there is for Mis'
sissippi. The negroes have from thu
very first voted solidly togsthet
!. what kind of men they have put II
Office you know, and everybody els
knows. We must unite the white
D and have a change and by unitin
. the whites do not mean that v
4 must unite the whites against th
blacks as blacks, but as, in this Stat
: party against party. =.
t Corlespondent-You remember, y
q Hill, that V,cksburg, in her cit
h election last summer, adopted tn
g color line policy, aud won the Day.
9 Mr.. Hill-Yes, and It Vicksea'
:, could win. your State can. 1t ig
!. think, all in your own hands, and d
" feat will be chargeable to . want
!, the proper action on the part Of I'll
