A Licensed SwindIe.

From the Louisiana Cotton Boil
That public .leech, Charles T.
Howard, proprietor of the Louisiana
State Lottery infamy, whose con.
nection with the Radical ring Of
plunderers has enabled him to char
ter public swindle, whereby he
has made millions out of the people,
has on foot a grand scheme to make
another big haul on Christmas. All
who draw prizes this time are to be
paid in gold, etc. For years past,
hundreds of families have been kept
in poverty, because they have been
induced to invest their hard earn
ings with this man, whose private
life is as scandalOusly Immoral as
his public character is corrupt. Yet,
notwithstanding this fact, all the
Leading journals of New Orleans
have been bought, not only to ST.
lence against the man, but to actu-
ally recommend his Infamous plum.
dering scheme. Last Sunday, all,
or nearly all, the dailies sold their
entire first page to Howard, who
thereon set forth the merits ~ of
his Christmas drawing, which they
Hseverally recommend. Great God |!
is it possible that one corrupt man
can thus influence the entire press
of great city, and cause them to
withhold from the swindle that de-
nunciation which the public safety
demands at their hands :
We warn all who are disposed to
purchase tickets in the Louisiana
State Lottery, to beware To invest
in any lottery is folly, for a large
majority invariably lose their mon
ey, ann even those who win are
quite apt to lose it all again by sub
sequent investment in the same
precarious manner; but every dollar
spent in buying tickets of the Lou
isiana State Lottery but goes to-
ward enriching man who is a dis
grace to the community in which he
lives.
We hope this article will enlight-
en- some of our readers as to the
character of the man and institution
which are bolstered up by corrup-
tiog, and save money to some of
our readers.
In the name of the oppressed peo-
pie of Louisiana, and especially the
suffering poor, who have been duped
and robbed by this man Charles 4.
Howard, we call upon our represen-
tatives in the Legislature to repeal
the charter of the Louisiana State
Lottery, for the law which counte.
nance such swindle is disgrace
to the State. 1t is notorious fact
that he bribed the corrupt majority
OF previous Legislatures to maintain
him, and doubtless he will attempt
to perpetuate his disgraceful monop-
op.y BY gaining the influence of the
next General Assembly; but as a
majority of the incoming Legislature
have been elected from among the
people, by whom they will be close
Is watched and held to strict &C.
countability, we believe the day is
near at hand when Howard & Co,
will be choked off and have to re.
tire with their lily gotten gains.

The Third Term.

s'The increasing opinion in favor
of a ''third term is very marked.
There is no more advocacy of the
nomination of Grant, perhaps,
than has been heard previously !;
but the numbef OF those, both in
side and outside Government cir
cles, who believe such an event next
year to be inevitable is rapidly
growing. A leading Republican
from Pennsylvania, who is here, ex-
presses the opinion that unless the
party unitedly declare against a
third term within the next thirty
days, the denomination of Grant
cannot be prevented but of course
such a declaration will not be made.
There is very slowly aggregating
sentiment making Grant the party
candidate again next year. The
opinions of Grant himself do not
change in any quarter, nor is there
evidence OF any increase of his pop
nlarity but the exigcncies Of the
party are forcing a recognition of
the third term idea on Republicans
who have hitherto secuted it as at
once absurd and impossible. :" Bos-
ton Herald.
'sBut the exigencies of the party
are forcing a recognition Of the
third term idea.D This is the old cry.
"Exigencies Of the party not of the
nation, demand Grant for a third
term. None of his supporters claim
that the exigencies of the nation de-
lnand any man for a third term,
much less President Grant. Why
this everlasting exaltation Of party.
above country : Isit because there
is closet of skeletons which the
party is afraid may be brought forth
and exhibited to the disgust of hon
est people 7 1t looks very like it.
Are there no men in the Republican
party the equals of Grant, Where
is Morton, Butler, Blaine, Jewell,
Waite and Carpenter, each and all
bis Intellectual and executive peers!
If these will do not do, the Demo
cratic party might consent to the
nomination of Charles Francis
Adams, Governor Tilden or Govern
or Hendricks, the equals Of any man
or men in the nation. Dry up this
croaking of the exigencies Of the
party, and tell rs of he necessity of
q strict construction of the Consti-
tuition and the laws and the speedy
and sure punishment Of government
swindlers and defaulters, high or
low. The people will then believe
that an honest effort will be made to
correct the abuses that have crept
into the administration of national
affairs and may give the same sup
port to the dominant party that it
has in the past. The members of
both parties must insist upon q
strict construction and honest exc
cution Of the laws if they expect to
long maintain our present form Of
government. M

MAILS TWICE A DAY.-The gen.
tlemanly contractors for carrying
the mails from Monroe to Shreve-

their coaches regularly through
Bellevue, as in days of yore. 1t
would be greatly to the advantage
of considerable portion of Bossier
parish, were they to make the round
trip by Benton. Cannot the people
interested in having mail facilities
in that portion of the parish offer
some Inducements, IN the way OF
good roads, cheap forage, &C., to
the stage line for them to try the
experiment. 1t seems to us that
during the winter months, it would
be economy for the Stage Company
to run their stages BY that route.

Died at his residence near Fill
more, Bossier parish, on the 23rd
instant, Parham B. Thompson; aged
about 40 years.
Mr.. Thompson, in company with
his father.in-law, Mr.. A. Lawrence,
was crossing Clark's bayou, two
days previous to his death-the
bayou at the time being very much
swollen from the recent heavy rains
MIR. Thompson was q little in ad
vance, and as his horse became
somewhat unmanagable, Mr.. Law
renee passed him, thinking Mr.. Us
horse would follow his lead, but
upon looking back, discovered Mr..
Thompson off his horse, floating
down the stream, entirely submerg-
ed, except the tail of his coat
With great effort. Mr.. Lawrence
succeeded in dragging him ashore,
and conveying him home. He must
have received some internal injury.
He was insensible from the time at
which he was taken from the water
until the morning Of next day,
when he asked about the particulars
Of the accident, and remained ra-
tional to the time of.his death.
MIR. Thompson was q consistent
member of the NJ. e. Church, and
also q member Of the Fillmore Ma
sonic Lodge, Of which he was Treas
urer at the time of his death. Tie
was much esteemed by the com
munity in which he lived, and has
left . widow whose anguish time
alone can heal.
A useful citizen, q worthy man,
and kind husband has gone to his
reward.
