Finance.

There seems to be disposition
among some prominent men of the
country to make the subject of finance
the leading issue in the campaign of
1S.6-to what end, it is difficult for an
ordinary mind to comprehend. 1t is a
subject that belongs exclusively to
Congress, and when that body assem-
bles, it would seem as though the diff
ferent members composing it would be
governed by their immediate constitu-
ency to some extent. The subject is
one that has engaged the attention of
the most able men of all ages and in
every country. We are free to admit
that it is almost a scaled book to us
but if experience is worth anything as
a teacher, we should all have learned
the lesson by this time that, an ire
deemable currency is a curse to any
country. We have only to go back to
the times of 1887, when promises to
pay were issued from every corner
grocery-when bank aud individual
notes were plenty as the leaves of Au-
tumn, to convince the most sceptical,
that confidence and credit will not re-
deem these promises to pay. An in
fated CURRENCY is the harvest for
bankers, brokers, and dealers in bonds
and stocks, for they are the monied
men, and are always in condition to
take advantage of it's fluctuations. But
the laborer and producer want the cur
rency, dollar of which, has the larg-
est purchasing quality, and which is
the one convertible into coin at pleas
ure. 1t is to be hoped that the Democ-
racy of the nation will not depart from
the teaching of the Fathers, but stick
to the Hard Money doctrine.
If the Democracy of Louisiana-as-
sisted by the moral influence of their
brethren throughout the country-rids
us of the leprosy of Radicalism, we will,
for the time being, be content.

I@ We have been advertising for
several months Light Brahma chick
ems raised at Springfield, Illinois, by
Springer Brother. We sent an order
a few weeks ago for trio of this varie-
ty of pure bred chickens, which have
been received in good condition, coop
ed in admirable style. These fowls
are evidently of the highest type of
their kind, very large and fine for their
age, and give the fullest satisfaction to
all.

n@ At a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic and Con-
sentative party of the State, held at
New Orleans on the 21st instant, it was,
after full discussion, decided to call a
Convention of delegates from the sew
eral parishes, to meet in New Orleans
on the first Wednesday of January,
1876. We have been opposed to the
calling of a..Conventon, so early as No
vember of this year, and have hereto
fore given our reasons. The Conven-
ton contemplated in January-if COM
posed of the right material-may be
productive of much good, and Bossier
should, by all means, be represented.
We would like to hear from our friends
in different parts of the parish, OH the
subject ola meeting of our citizens for
the purpose of selecting delegates, and
for an interchange of views generally.

va The season of the year is now
here for opossums and raccoons, and
some Of our hunters occasionally in
dulge in it, with varying success, visit
ing the neighboring woods with well
trained dogs inquest of game. These
species of animals still continue quite
abundant in Louisiana, especially in
the swamp lands of our lakes and riv-
ers, notwithstanding the continued
inroad made upon them each year.
There is no more exciting sport than
tracking through the dark woods on a
starlight night to the merry music of
the dogs, as they start up and chase
the game from its cover, and finally
succeed in bringing it to bay in the top
of some giant monarch of the forrest
Then all hands, fired with the excite
ment of the chase, are in lively antici-
patton of fun, as the axmen proceed to
chop down the tree, or as some expert
climber, with Ratchet in hand, ascends
to drive the game from its refuge, and
who finally succeeds in dislodging the
unfortunate 'possum or coon, as it may
chance to be, which falling into the
yawning mouths of the expectant dogs
below, fight Of a few minutes ensues
to the intense delight Of the hunters,
assembled on the outside of the circle
Of fires lighted around the trees. IA
very short time sufiices to vanquish the
game, and another pelt is added to the
long list Of the hunters trophies.

~ The public Printing Law of this
State is a dishonest and an iniquitious
law. 1t was passed by a corrupt party,
first, to destroy the Democratic press
of the State, and second, to establish,
by an Infamous monopoly, an unscru-
pulous Radical partisan press through
out the State, to defame and misrepre-
sent the very people who are victimiz-
ed by forced patronage to support it.
Abolish the present unfair features of
the Louisiana Printing Law, and there
are but few Republican papers in the
State that would live sixty days. Such
papers as the ''Homer Had" and the
"DonaldsonvillC Chief" could live with
out the benefit of the monopoly-and
justly too-for they are conducted by
energetic, experienced and practical
men; are neatly printed, well edited,
live country papers, and are abundant
y esoAO W VtenO ColC VI tAiCiIloCANco any
where; but we know of no other Re-
publican journals in the State, or even
so-called independent C concerns, that
would, in our opinion, survive to tell
the tale, if the present odious "Stand-
and-Deliver" Law was wiped out, as
it should be,
We have met Republicans who have
acknowledged to us that the law was
unfair and unjust-that it was load
that the party should be rid of-that
such Republican journals aslived alone
by the benefits of the monopoly were
of no service whatever to the party, be-
ing mere advertising sheets" as de-
void of subscription lists as they were
of character and influence.
Then, in this day of protested reform,
let us begin with the Printing Law
Let the public printing be in the hands
of THE PEoPLE-and not under the
control of partisan Printing Board, to
be EARNED out" by them regardless of
the interests or will of those directly
concerned. Let there be no further
monopoly, but an open field for fair
competition-the life of trade.
What say you to this, friend BLACK
BURN? Leave off your political "bear-
ings," and let us have your honest
views as a professional printer, and
your efforts as law-maker, to amend
the present law, so-called.
And you too, oh mighty Sachem of
the Tribe of Donaldsonvillians, present
us with specimen of your craftsman's
faith-work that you are willing to
leave with your imp-imatur upon re-
cord, and not amid the political rub
bish of reconstruction.

place in Bossier recently, and "they

sweet souls-the peers of any in the
State for beauty, personal worth, intel
