According to the Republican press
of Louisiana the Democracy of the
United States has wonderful lniu-
ence over the Republican party; IN
fact il took possession Of and engineer
ed the proceedings Of several State
Conventions, causing them TO pass
resolutions declining very decidedly
the valuable services of President
Grant for third term. For our part
we are very sorry the Democracy did
this, for it may defeat Grants nomi-
nation for the third term, and we had
rather the Republicans would noni-
nate him than any other man tina:
they are likely TO put in the field, be,
cause his nomination would insure a
Democratic triumph. Will not the
! Democrats behave themselves and
quit controlling Republican con
. ventions

Negro Justice in Louisiana.

The manner in which justice is ad-
ministered in Louisiana, under carpet
bag and negro rule, is aptly illustrated
in the following paragraph from the
New Orleans Picayune. That journal
says:
About two years ago well known
and popular planter Of the parish Of
West Feliciaua, named Hale, was
killed near Senator Weber's house, in
the town of Bayou Sara, by a party
of negroes The circumstances of
the affair showed that it was q brutal
murder, and the feelings of the COM
munity Were aroused against the
perpetrators Of the deed.
Since that time the murderers have
been kept in Jail, and they were final,
ly tried in Clinton, East Feliciaua
(thc venue having been chargeD DC.
fore Judge Dewing, the latter part o!
this week. During the process Of
impanneling the jury, the venire was
exhausted and the colored Sheriff di.
rected to summon talesmen. This be
did, and brought in set composed
exclusively of negroes. The jury
when empanneled consisted entirely
of negroes. In the course of the
trial Senator Weber was called to the
stand as witness, and identified twi
of the prisoners at the bar as thos,
whom he had personally seen to fir,
at the deceased. The evidence wa.
positive. and left no doubt of tn,
guilt Ut at least several Of the accused
who were eight in number. Th,
Jury however, retired, and after fiv,
minutes deliberation brought in
verdict of not guilty, and the accused
were set at liberty.

Grants Letter Boiled Down.

On the first page Of this paper is
the Presidents letter on the subject
of the third term, which, if il means
anything at all, can be boiled down
to the following substance
"Soon after the war Congress, for
some imaginary obligation the coun-
try was under to me, created an Office
for my special benefit and placed me
in it for life; which Office hoped to
retire from when | got tired Of 1t,

The Rain and Crops.

The rain that fell here Saturday
night was a glorious one-we could
have stood good deal more of it,
but we are not at all in a complaining
mood ard feel duly grateful. 1t
revived vegetation wonderfully, and,
what is still better, from all we can
learn. it was pretty general. a heavy
rain visited Jefferson, Marshall and
Monroe the same evening, and those
parties we have seen from the back
country inform Us that they had a
good season" There are complaints,
however, from planters above here on
the river that the shower with them
was very light one.
The bill crops throughout all this
section had begun to suffer. and tins
visitation came in the very nick Of
time. The reports Of the corn and
cotton crops are, with scarcely aly
exception, highly fatlering-most
planters informing Us that they have
not seen finer. if 50 fine, a prospect
since the surrenler.-Shrecepo port
