ASYLUM lOl. the Blind.

We invite attention generally, and of our
brethren of the press particularly, to the
communication of the Rev. Mr.. Lane CON
corning the management of the State
Asylum for the Blind. MIR. Lane is not
personally known to us, but a note from
Col d. r. Boyd speaks of him in the follow
ing high terms:
DR.. Lane is one of the ablest and best men
in our State. He is thoroughly interested
in the education of the Blind. II has been
IA lifelong study with him, and he feels
more deeply than you or l can, the necessity
of not letting the Institution tor the Blind
in Louisiana be so terribly mismanaHed AS
it is now. and has generally been since
it's organZ;lt ion. MIR. Lane is himself a
tue ILLUSTRATION of the mental and moral
power to be developed i'll tho blind of our
| State. He has been blind since his child
! hood, and is now one of the most intelli-
| gent and finely educated persons of my
| acquaintance
| 1t is simply Il crying shame the way the
| Public Institutions hore are conducted, and
| [ do hope you will bring The subject to the
| attention of your many readers in 1AouiSi-
| ana. Better close all the public institutions
| than to let them be as they are now.
| Please consider we'll what Mr.. Lane has
written you.

Resolutions OF the TarmcrSliic
Railroad Meeting.

Whereas, Tho isolated locality of tho city
of Farmerville and the parish of Union
causes the citizens thereof to suffer great in
convenience from want of connection Win,
and the want of certainly oftrarsit to ana
from, the commercial markets from which
we draw our annual supplies and
Whereas, We believe that rnlroad con-
nection with Nicksburg, Shreveport or *.
Louis would remedy the evil therefore.
/. HesolUed, That the citizens OF all Cities,
Towns and Villages interested, be and the
same are hereby earnestly requested to
send delegates to a railroad convention to
be held at Monroe, Ouachita parish, on the
4th day of September, 1875.
2. BE tfNrthcy ReS0tccd, That the parish
es of MOrehouse, Union and Ouachita, Lou
isiana, and tho counties of Union and QUA
chita in Arkansas, and the cities and towns
| of Camden, Farlnerville, Eldorado, Rastrop
| and Monroe be requested to send delegates
| to said convention, in order to perfect the
| organization of a company for the purpose
| of determining proper route and other
preliminary matters copnected with said
| enterprise. and
| 3. Be IL fuythe,. :esoIped That the cities OF
st, Louis, Vicksburg and New Orleans be
notified of said convention and requested
| to send delegates, or take such other action
| in the matter as they may deem best 1ol
| their interests.
L. KesOLUed, that the chair appoint 4 COM
mittee of two from each parish and country
| on the route to correspond with persons AT
other points relative to contemplated Rail
| road routes and report the same with any
and all information they may obtain rela
tive to Railroads at the meeting of the con
| ventOn in September.

COnaleala ned to Death.

There are in the parish Jail tw" c"l"red
people, one Il man and the other woman,
who are under sentence Of death for the
crime of murder. The murdered man,
Henry Harris, was husband of the woman,
Ailsy Harris, with whom was associated III
the commission of tho crime, Toney MOL
lun, an old darSey of sleepy aspect ana
doubtless Ailsy's paramour. Ihe jury,
largely composed of colored mon, found
tho accused guilty, after Il patient nearing,
and able defense by Judge Caldwell,
who carried the case to the Supreme Court
where the verdict was sustained, and sub
scquently re-hearing refused. The cham
ces for an executive pardon, or commu-
tation of sentence, seem not to be encour-
aging for the condemned, no ono, so far as
we can learn, manifcsting Il Willingness to
SEQ tho culprits escape tho full penalty of
tho law.
Ailsy Harris is rather agood looking ne
gro woman, about p years of age, OF rather
sinister expression and was raised III
Morehouse parish. Tonoy Nellun Is above
middle age, seems to view everything with
stolid Indifference, and has the impress OF
ignorance, if not beustiality, upon his fe;'-
lures. IIc recently immigrated from Ala
banlu.
There has been no execution i'll THIS par
ish since 1861, when II Mexican, in the Con-
tolerate army, was hanged for tho murder
of Judge Bakers son. We have no knowl-
edge of the hanging OLA woman in TINS por-
ton of the State since its formation.

ADcllnocr.atic Org an.

That there ought to be. daily paper in
New Orleans, printed in English. conduct
ed by an experienced newspaper man whose
or influenced either by banks. lottery COM
panies, capitalists of any class, is Il fact
painfully apparent to the people and pub
fishers ofthe country parishes. Suffering
as this State is, and with the greatest COM
mel cial city of the South within her borders,
it is matter of constant wonder, with conn
try people, that they find tho Now Orleans
daily press oblivious of the real distress of
the State and of the causes OF their mistor-
tunes. Take the Times, Bulletin, or Plea
yue, and the friend and admircr of n
either. They re not live journals in any
sense; but appearntly conduct ed to save on
penses, to prolong their exist cnce. to exact
tribute from tho country people, and to
avoid the responsibilities resulting from II
VIGOROUS, fearless pronunciation of official
rascality.
Accustomed rs we are to regard the New
Orleans dailies either AS auNillairies to pri-
vate schemes, as wanting in indcpcn-
dence, we learn with pleasure that new
Democratic daily will soon be issued in
New Orleans. We trust the enterprise will
be placed in the hands of one good man of
firmness and newspaper experience whose
record is umimpeachable and who possesses
the vim and ability to lead. Such paper,
SO conducted, will very soon get ample
support, and will materially aid to organize
the opposition to Radicalism in 1876.

Grunge Convention.

A convention of delegates from tho seVe-
raj Oranges i'll tho Ouachita Valley VIII
assemble in this city on the 4th VI heA'
month. Considerable interest mas oech
already manifested in the action ana fesuns
of the proposed convention, ana, from
what we are able to gather. the ;"'eh
dance will be very large and composed Oh
the best men belonging to the fatrohs OF
Husbandry. The subjects to he discussed,
and acted upon, cover very wide held'
but no wider than the interests at stake
naturally embrace. Tho questions of
transportation, n Grange agency, Grange
bank, of Labor, and of Immigration, are
all matters of vital Importance, not alone
to the farmers but to every citizen Oh the
country. These subjects all lie NJ the
foundation of the country's welfare ana
properly handled will speedily develop the
rich natural resources of North louisiana.
1t is healthful sign to see representative
| men of the producing class manifestlns
| such lively interest in these topics, as Is
| clearly shown by the proposed gathering.
1t evinces settled deterh'ih''ioi.
on the part Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic to quit the beaten
| track Of lamenting and crooking over
| trou BILE, and to combine their talents ana
means to elevate their calling to standard
of independence, and to utilize the resources
of the country, as well as the immense
power of tho producer-all to the emu OF
making more prosperous the country III
which we live. Such "a spirit is what our
people have long needed. They have been
too sluggish and too selfish. 1t is fortunate
that an organization has been Greeted
which has united the producers, for the
protection of industry and for the perfect
union OF the class of citizens of all others
upon whose unity, energy and wisdom
the redemption of the State ultimately
depends.
We bid the Changers, God speed!

Railroad Convention.
