AS an evidence of the bad weather
of November, which has interfered
with oil working operations in our
Parish, We will here state that during
that month only fourteen days were
OF the disposal Of the Railroad labor
ers, wherein they could make any
progress in their labors and gra-
ding. And even these days the
earth was SO perfectly saturated with
water, that the digging and wheel
barrow work was not over half work
for such efficient labor ~ is on Ger
vice on the Road. But notwithstan-
ding this weather drawback, the ef.
forts Of the Contractor personally 1t
tending to his contract, have not for
a moment wavered and the work goes
bravely on. Since our last the arri-
val of sixty-six mules and scrapers,
equivalent to an increase Of three
hundred men to the available force,
have been placed 10 work at Cotile
and are doing good work.

passed since we have had a Circas in
our Town, and on dext Saturday,
Cooks Great English and American
Circus will be here, and give Two
performances, thus marking new
era in the pleasure and recreation
line in our Town. This Circus comes
to us highly recommended by the
Press of the different Towns in lower
Louisiana, where 1t has given enter
tainments and we are sure 1t will
prove not to be composed of broken
down sleepy animals, but arst-class
and legitimate Circus, complete in
all its appointments, and composed
of a perfect constellation ofrenowned
artists. Circus day will be the ad.
vent of the Christmas pleasures, in
store for the little ones here, and as
these are few and far between with
us, let us all partake Of the good old
fashioned "saw-dust Opera" and
give our families q chance at the
Feast. See their card in our col
umns aud the little and big bills all

no DANGER.

Some of our friends in Rapldes, ana
by these we mean those who have
been fighting Louisiana Radicalism
in every form, and on every battle
greund, with a will and an ardor only
kncwa to true men, are uneasy and
give vent to this uneasiness at the
manouevres aud trampngs of certain
patriots, who ate constantly a futile
source Of annoyance to them. We
must express our surprise that our
friends should be 80 tender and tim.
id on a poiat, which affords only
merriueat to US, and that they
should fail to see through the veil
which shrouds the aims, motives and
cravings of our tramps errant.
At no time since The surrender
have We been more hopeful, at no
time have we considered the situation
more pleasant aud safe, and certain
lp, at no time, has this been more the
case than at the present writing In
Rapides. We have now solid, COM
pact organization ofour Conservative
elements of the white race, with fully
three hundred good and true colored
men, and thus start with the inside
advantage ground, and can afford to
spare, and make innocent merriment,
with the ones who cause futtering
to our timid friends. The game is
not worth the powder which is thus
wasted, and once for all time, let our
friends bear in mind that these sores
are only chronic Office seekers, dying
by degrees for some Office, no matter
what kind and never consulting prin-
ciple, but hugging false policy that
they may obtain their ends. Our
party can safely afford to part With
these, for they only cling to 40 and
our banners when graced by victory,
and rush to the enemy when We are
defeated or rather cheated, to beg Of
them the crumbs that fall from the
table of the spoila They are sun
shine patriots, whose past time and
leisure moments being plentiful,
spend the most Of it In cursing the
party that has stood by them and the
rights of our people, and only find
plausible excuses to palliate the mis-
deeds Of the enemy, that they may be
admitted at their footstcol.
Viewing these things in this light,
q light which We feel convinced is q
true one, and feeling more convinced
than ever Of our fair prospects ahead,
we can but have good words Of cheer
for our friends, the friends and mp
holders Of the true faith and the op-
ponents Of Radicalism in Louisiana,
in Rapides. We have the numbers,
we have the right with US, and with
this sacred compact sealed by hope,
faith and further hard work, We must
and can but succeed. Let ~ hope,
hope on, and work, work on!
