The colored men who will lie taken
in by the resolve Of the 18th July
meeting Of the negro Blunt, which
occurred on Goth June, are few and
far between the peace between the
colored man and the white man of
Natchitoches parish has never yet
been disturbed, and the only people
that the white citizens have objected
to, are those white and black THEW
ing politicians. If they think, how
ever, that We are to submit quietly
to such rule as they choose to give
Us, at the cost of their leaving the
country; it the peace they desire or
intimate to desire, and the cultiva-
ton Of our lands is to be bought at

that We must take just such men az
they elect to rule, without regard to
qualifications for honesty or capacity,
then We all say, as many negroes at
the grand gathering said, ''go now"
There are many Southern States,
twelve of fifteen, that are entirely in
the hands of the white men md have
been for some time, and we fail to
End that one jot or title of the rights
Of the negroes have been taken from

that these leading negro politicians are
the worse class of persons to give ad-
wise to their fellow-men, they all insist
upon ruling, which means ruin, az
has been demonstrated in more States
than one; when they fail to rule, q
big scare is attempted by threatening
an exodus from the country. All
that these men can influence from

days before it was pluckcd. This
was grown upon an acre of land which
Col. Levy has especially prepared for

the depth Of sixteen inches, thorough
~ fertilized with compost, and by
judges it is pronounced the finest
acre Of cotton ever grown in the par
ish. Col. Levy intends to demon.
strate the fact, if it can be done, that
so to Is per cent more cotton can be
raised to each acre, by this process
than by tho old, thereby saving in
land, time and labor, q large amount
to the planter, which can be profita-
bly, employed in the growing Of cere-
ais and grasses. The cultivation Of
clover for hay will enter largely next
year into the farming business here.
Highland rice, peas, oats, pumpkins,
&C., will, and should usurp at least
so per cent Of the time, labor and
land now bestowed upon cotton.
Farming is more remunerative in the
cereal and grass growing contries, and
Louisiana has a climate and soil es-
pecially adapted to them.

not know that the people of the Par
ish then in the remote parts OF the
parishes ont of which it was formed,
were rarely ever consulted as to the
conduct of their parochial affairs, and
few Of them we're ever honored with
office and it's emoluments. Now

out Of which they can support thelF
families or even get rich, and there
by be enabled to keep some money III

these gentlemen out of Office anu
numbers who have settled among us
for q congenlal home would not re-
main and live so far from their Parish
site, as for instance, Natchitoches or
Shreveport. This Parish: was organ
s XIV t. aud you ruin the calculations
Of q great many.
X. X. X. forgets that last year the
board Of assessors granted the citi'
zens' meeting all they asked and that
the taxes arc not more than one third
of that due in 1874. This was a re.
form step and tho assessed valuation
of the property Of the Parish can be
kept down in reason.
