The tramp nuisance Is SO rapidly III

papers in various parts OF the country
are discussing the best means to break
up the system OF professional vagrancv

portions. One OF the latest exploits

the burning OF ali elevator for

Oils. This exquisite practical joke cost

for the refusal of the owners to comply
with their insoicnt demands for tribute,
are awaking the attention of the people
of PENNSYLVANIA to the magnitude of

The local reIaedy for its correction pro-
posed by the Eaglc is the establishment
OF Il workhouse and industrial farm,
where all able-hodied tramps should be
sent, the farm to be located on poor soil
which may be bought very cheap, and
which by the labor of the paupers may
be so enhanced in value as to be sold at
ii large profit, when the experiment may

( NTW UIT TO NEISTRE GRAIN

\ good story is told Of a Tioga county
merchant who agreed to take Il farmers
oats at forty cents Il bushel if the latter
would let him tramp the measure when
filled. The farmer agreed to it. The
buyer paid for sixty bushels, and the
next day went after them. The farmer
filled the half bushel, and then the mer-
chant got in and tramped them down.
Whereupon the farmer poured the oats
so compressed into the bag. The mer-
chant protested, and demanded that the
measure should be filed up after tramp
ing. The farmer informed him that
there was no agreement of that sort, but
that he might tramp down the oats to
his hearts content after they were meas
ured.

Hon. Jere. S. Black, Of Pennsylvania

Hon. Jere. S. Black, Of Pennsylvania.
As we write the name that heads
this article, the vision Of a man, in
all his full proportions, rises up be-
fore us. A statesman and .jurist
whose peers are few, and not to be
found among the demagogues who
occupy place and position in the
present day. AS a journalist, We
have been impressed with the able
manner with which he has discuss.
ed every subject claiming his atten-
ton, and he seems never to touch
one that he does not leave upon it
the impress of massive brain. A
man without spot or blemish, and
whom the American people ought
to delight to honor, it is strange
passing strange-that he does not
occupy a larger space in the public
mind.
The Democratic party need a lead
er such as he, to lead it on to victo-
nv in the Presidential campaign in
the Centennial year, 1876. With him
at the helm to start the ship OF
State, and navigate the political
waters of another century of our
existence as free people, we would
have nothing to fear, and could feel
satisfied that our government was
being brought back to the purity Of
earlier days. We would once again
command the respect of the nations
of the earth, and gifts and gift-tak-
ing be numbered with the things OF
the past; and at the close Of his
term, 10 small man could again fill
the Presidential chair.
| Then let us have for our candi.
dates in 1876, jeremiah S. Black, OF
Pennsylvania, for President, and
Thomas +. Bayard, of Delaware,
for Vice President. With these
names inscribed on the Democratic
banner, the Democracy could poin,
with pride to their standard.bearers
and after electing them, it could
perpetuate its power as long as il
continued to place such men at thu
, helm.
Judge Black would sweep Penn
. sylvania with q majority Of 10000
S and New York would 60 10000 bet
J. ter. The Southern States can trus
4 him, and would leave out the las
i link for him, we'll knowing that h
: could never be the President of
!, section; or administer the govern
l. ment in the interests of rings.
The Cheveliar Bayard, for Vic
8 President, would be a tower {
q strength. Indeed, the Souther
'r people would be well pleased to a
IL cord him the first place on the ticl
G. ct; but the one We have name
es would present a mental pyrami
g. that would command the respec
ie and ought to enlist the enthusiasm
a of the whole American people:
10 least those of them who desire
see the Government once moro a
Ge ministered by pure men and state
ar men. Such men are Black an

~ AS an experiment, we make

Monday, ::::::::::::::::::::::::Novembe Is, 1875
~ AS an experiment, we make
our debut this morning, by introduce
ing the BossIER BANNER to
our fellow-citizens of the Parish and
State as a Semi Weekly.
The approaching session of Con.
gress, and of our own State Legis-
lature-when convened-will fur
nish matters of vital importance,
and we are DESTROYS of furnishing
our people-of this Parish especial
ly-with an epitome Of the doings
of our legislators and lawmakers
Oftener than once week.
We propose furnishing the Semi
Weekly on the SAME TERMS Of the
Weekly, until after the March term
of our District Court should
it prove a loss to ourself. Its con-
tinued existence after that time, will
will depend entirely on the encour-
agement we receive.
There are many citizens Of our
parish who could we'll afford to take
four, five or six copies of their PAR
1sH PAPER, and send to their friends
throughout the country.
We are willing to give our time
and labor to help achieve the re-
demption of our beloved State from
the talons of the vultures that have
SO long been preying upon and eat
ing out her very vitals; but we can
not fight the battle alone-unaided
and unassisted. We call upon you,
our fellow-citizens, for your enconr.
.agement; your counsel; your sym.
pathy and material aid in this ven.
ture of ours.
IF you view the situation as we
do, you cannot remain passive spec
tators in the coming struggle
Another lease Of power for the Rad
icals of this State, will solve thu
problem for us all. In that event
our labors in Louisiana will NOR,
than likely be at an end-at least a
the editor of an Independent Demo
cratic newspaper-and we had al
as well make up our minds to mi
CRATE to a more congenial clime.-
But, if we all do our whole duty
we are satisfied the days Of Radica
ism are nearly numbered.
We are now surrounded by State
that are in the hands of their Ow
people, and if we are much longe
oppressed, as we have been, it wi
be our own fault. The recent Gle
ton in Mississippi demonstrat,
what a people can do, who are d
termined to be free. With ter1ib
odds against her, she has made
clean sweep, and can once aga
raise up her bowed head.
With a fair count, we believe '
have majority Of voters of o.
own race in Louisiana, and with Il
exception Of a few thieves scatter'
about in the State, these voters ;
belong to the opposition to Radio;
ism. It will be a proud day to US
should the SEMI.WEEKLY last
long-when we can announce in
columns, the political death al
burial of the miserable crew.
