The GOVERNMENT Nor AT HOME
No one will be surprised, says the
New York World of Friday, to learn
that when Mr.. Cameron arrived in
Washington yesterday to conduct
the government, md found all the
high officials but one absent, he did
profane Justice to tho occasion. All
the pretty Secretaries and their
President had gone at one fell
"scoot," leaving tho head of the
State Department to tread tho Cabi-
not halls deserted. Tho President
is smiting tho scarlet woman in tho
far West with his tIrsty orGtorical
mcnt-axe; Mr. Bristow is wondering G
whether tho circumstances hintcl
at in Mr.. Grants letter to General
White arc apt to arise next year
Mr.. Piorropont is hiding from the
wrath OF Ames Mr.. Bclknap il
pulling wires to secure the Iowa
Scnatorslip Mr. Robson is train
ing mp a future race Of American
Farraguts by spinning nautical
yarns at agricultural fairs, and the
place TINT knew Delano knows him
now no more. All this is very sad,
and we arc not surprised that Mr..
Cameron was angry. We must add,
however, that if by the remaining
away from Washington of these
three members of the Cabinet Mr..
Cameron was effectually prevented
from concluding any arrangements
with the government, their con.
tinued absence is to be commended
in the present and desired in the
future.

foreign paper instead Of that Published
In their own Parish, can now have both

AL RECORD is an Agricultural Me
'chanical and Family Newspaper, OF six
teen pages, full OF choice reading, mar
ket reports, &C., costing alone $3.50 per

PERsoNAL.--Edward Hickey, a life
long resident of our State, apractical
planter since early boyhood, and
withal, a gentleman Of culture, has
moved to our Parish with his family,
and intends making it his home. We
think the sagacity of this expert
enced and practical gentleman, in Sc
lecting Rapides above all other loca-
tions, is surely worthy of more than
a passing notice. We take pleasure
in heartily welcoming all such as Mr..
Hickey, and know that our people
endorse all such welcome new
corners.

WHITE PLOW MEN.
Whilst we are deploring centinu

Whilst we are deploring centinu-
ally, and perhaps too often, Che lack
ofsreal prosperity and The Develop
ments Of our truly great Parish, and
seldom hitting on The blamable cause,
we trust it will be taken in kindness
|if we mention right here one Of the
true and most culpable causes Of all
these sinful shortcomings. 1t is
simply the total and shameful non
interest taken by our people in gene
raj in these very matters, and the
criminal neglect which hangs like q
pail over them. Now that the Fair
Association, purely home institu-
ton, is about to enter It's third grand
year here, one fact in our line Of ar
gument which occurred last year,
and which we should have mentioned,
is enough to damn any people on the
top Of Gods green earth! A gentle
man of our Town, both intelligent
and progressive, offered and gave as
a prize solid silver cup, of the val
ue of fifty dollars, to be awarded to
the best "White Plowman." Now,
in our Parish, where there are over
one thousand whites who come I'M
der that head, and all then in the
midst Of the great State canvass for
white supremacy, white mems rights,
and the officers Of this home institu-
tion, aided by a few other such men
as the one we have selected for our
text, straining every nerve to sustain
their preachings, will it be believed
that only two ''white plowmen" came
forward and contested for the prize?
Such it is, and though late, not too
late, to be mentioned to the white
mans shame. Better, perhaps, pass
these things over, now that they are
the property of the buried past, but
just now the ghost Of these impersec-
tions of our race haunt us considera-
bly,, and we must put them on record,
if for nothing else than to beg our
white plowmen and white laborers of
Rapides, to remember that the Fair
Association still liveth, and proposes
this year, more than ever, to move
with giant strides in behalf Of the
grand objects they have in view, and
they want the farmers, planters, mer-
chants, mechanics and laborers to
lend them encouragement and the
right hand of fellowship.
