To the People of Bossier, for
many years, we have borne our
humble thoughts to your homes and
hearthstones. From many of you
we have received encouragement
by others we have been severely
criticised. And now, as you are
engaged in gathering in the labors
Of another year, We feel like holding
familiar talk with you about the
past, the present, and the near future.
In the past, our earnest endeavor
has been to labor in your interest,
and thereby promote our own.
With what success, it is for you to
judge. This we do know, that our
intentions have been honest and
sincere, to further the best interests
Of our State and parish. aud any fail
ure in that direction can only be at
tributed to want of knowledge as to
the best means to secure the desired
end. We know we have made mis-.
takes. Who has mott With the
past we have now nothing to do.
"Let the dead past bury her dead.o
The present is ours to improve as
best we may. Asa people, we have
struggled along under grevious and
heavy burthens, financially and po-
litically. Even the Earth has some
times refused to yield her increase
after most patient labor. With 50
much to discourage, we are still
hopeful. The Banner is, and it be.
lieves you are also.
For the present, let us all deter
mine to be a 1nited people, a.nder

bud anything like dissension, and
look upon every man as an enemy,
who attempts to make terms with
our political foes. We cannot affili-
ate with them in any way, and main.
tain our political integrity and self
respect.
A little more exercise of patience
and firmness, will place our feet
upon rock, where the waves of
Radicalism will never reach us. The
light is breaking in the near future,
by which the handwriting on the
wall may be read. We are girding
on our armor for the fierce struggle,
just ahead, that involves the death
OF Radicalism. "Be Sc also ready. >
In advance, we bespeak your en-
enlargement, your sympathy, and
material AID, to the extent of your
ability; and after our redemption
is gained, and we have had a new
political birth, our State aud Parish

worth all our time, all our labor, and

Horrible Murder.

MEMPHIS, Oct. 81.
DR.. Ballard, formerly of Texas, residing
near Marion, Ark, while riding with a lady
yesterday afternoon, near his place, was
waylaid and shot by man named An
drews, who fired one barrel of a shot gun
ct the doctor, the charge taking effect in
his neck and face, knocking him off his
horse After falling, Ballard asked An
drews to raise him up, which he did into
sitting posture, and then placing the gun
near his head, disc harged the other barrel,
literally blowing Billiards. head Off. An
drews then went to Marion and surren-
dered himself to the authorities. Andrews
had been employed by Ballard, and few
days before Ballard had knocked him down
twice. Ballard is represented as having
been violent man, and had, on Sunday
last, waylad and shot his wife's nephew,

BY TELEGRAPH
Distribution of Appointments.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
The law passed last winter, under which
the treasury department was reorganized,
contained a provlso that after January |
next the appointments shall be so arranged
as to be equally distributed between the
several states, territories and the District
of Columbia, according to population. To
obtain the information necessary to give
effect to this provision, circular contain
ing a list of questions TO be answered was
to-day distributed among treasury officials,
each being required to state his legal resi-
dence, date of appointment, etc. The dis
tribution Of the circular has produced great
CONSERVATION among officials from those
states which are most largely represented.
During the debate in the house on this pro-
vision, 1t was stated that Massachusetts
had more appointments in the treasury de-
partment than any other three states. An
examination of the rolls show that the Dis
trict OF Columbia has also very large rep
resentation in this department, and if a
distribution be made in accordance with
the law, large number Of persons in the
District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and
two or three other states will be discharged,
and their places distributed among states
which now have few appointments. In
the slaughter that is expected, the District
of Columbia will be the largest sufferer.

Treasury Investigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81.
The committee appointed by the Penn
sylvania houssof representatives to inves-
tigate the affairs of the treasury, have
agreed upon report stating that their in
vestigation has developed the following
facts
First.-That from 1864 to 1874 there ap-
pears to be yearly overcharge on the in
terest account on the public debt, different
treasurers taking credit tor paying more
interest than the state debt bore. The
grand aggregate thus unlawfully taken
from the state treasury in eleven years
would amount to the enormous sum of
$112,33O, l65.
Second-That from 1870 to 1874 there
appears to have been an excess of premi.
um charged in the purchases of goldto pay
the interest on gold bearing bonds, amount
ing in all to S121'427.95.
Many other minor fraudulent transactions
came under the notice of the committee
but those here mentioned are the most im-
portant. In referring to the action of ex.
treasurers in refusing TO appear before the
committee, the report says: "Certainly it
is fair to assume that all charges made are
true, as treasurers do not appear when
lawfully subpOnaed to explain or deny
them"

A Journalist Killed by the Cars.

BosroN, Oct. 81.
Frederick Hudson, the veteran journalist
formerly manager of the New York
Herald, was fatally injured by the cars at
Concord yesterday. He was in buggy
with Judge John S. Keyes, the latter driv-
ing. They had stopped at a railroad cross
ing in obedience to signal from flagman,
but being engrossed in conversation, did
not notice that a flying switch was being
made, and after the passage of the engine
they drove upon the track, were caught by
the cars following and dragged some dis
lance, entangled in the wreck of the buggy.
Hudson died at five o'clock this morning.
Judge Reyes was seriously though not
fatally injured.
