Yesterday afternoon the editor
OF the Cincinnati Enquirer tele-
graphed the Democrat that the
election Of TiIdeu depended upon
Louisiana. The dispatch con-
cluded as follows: THE North
ern Democracy pray that you will
not permit us to be counted
ort."
Later dispatches show that it
is universally believed in the North
that this State is to determine the
great issue, and that the eyes Of
the whole American people are
fixed with the most intense inter
est upon the little spot Of ground
which has for eight years been
plundered under the shadow Of tho
American flag by the Kelloggs
and Packards, and the bosom Of
whose fields have been trampad
into sterility by the armed heel Of
the soldiers Of tie Republic,
marcLing from parish to parish to
arrest and dragonado our fee
citizens in the interests of the
plunderers.
The position oG Louisiana to-day
is grandly dramatic. Her situation
presents 4 theme ior tha noblest
epic that has yet been written.

were Lifted to strike at the psrpe-
traitors Of the outrages, the whole
North and West, to a man, would
rise up to join the criminals and
crush the State forever under the
heel Of Grant.
Silently, patiently and mourn-
fully we submitted. Almost hope
lessly we saw that the reign Of
Iawlessness and plunder was to 90
On under tile protection Of the
American flag, and that All that
was left as was the spirit and the
heart to curse, with bitter, burn
ing curses, the scoundrels whose
heels we're on our necks and in
our halls.
Again the election for President
came on. Strange to say, the peo-
pla Of Louisiana rallied for the
struggle. In every neighborhood
within her borders her chiefs raj
lied her people, and her people
came forth to make one more ef-
fort for the preservation Of their
constitutional existence. Twice
had they won The victory, and
twice in presence of tue whole Re-
public had it been wrested from
them at the point Of the bayonet,
and their State given over to their
bitterest enemies and most ruth
less pIunderers. But reared in a
love Of liberty, and realizing that
every vital interest Of the COM
monwealth was at stake, they went
into the campaign and have again
carried the State by at least six
thousand majority.
And now it seems that the North
ern people feel that the determin-
ation Of the Presidential election
depends upon the protection OF
the people OF Louisiana in the ex-
ercise of their constitutional rights
as well as the people of New York
or Indiana. The Northern Dem
ocracY now appeal to the people
OF Louisiana almost prayerfully to
maintain what they have eonstitu-
tionaIIy gained at the ballot box
at uny and every hazard. Had
they made this appeal to Us and
stood by ns il 1872 and in 1874,
there would be no danger to the
Republic now had they stood by
Louisiana iu 1872 and 1874, when
only the interests of poor, down
trodaeU, crushed, ruined louis
lana were threatened, their own lib
critics would not now hang on the
weak arm OF one little crushed,
but, thank God, heroic State.
The awful but sublime idea Of
inexorable fate controlling the ac-
tinns Of men, and even 81 the gods,
which peryades the whole Greek
tragedy, almost seems to have
the result Of this great
and iu its fearful spirit OF
poetic Justice to have rested the
destiny Of the Republic upon this
wronged people, and To have
brought the revilers, the oppres-
sors Of Louisiana, those who
shackeIed her limbs and scourged
her ia public who tore away her
rich robes and clad her limbs id
filth and rags pleading to her
feel to save them.
We recita these historical facts
in no spirit 0f bitterness now. f
Il DO true, indeed that the issue OF
this contest depends upon Louis
lana, let the people VI Louisiana

pie who are willing and ready

For the Lake Charles ECHO.
The decree Of the people Of Cameron
parish has gone forth, and republican
ism with all its disagrceable concoui-
tants may be numbered with things Of
the past, Notwithstanding the published
boast Of their number and unison, and
the promiseda heavy turn out for the
republican candidates at tbis last cleo
ton, grew small in the reality and
beautifully less, as Will be seen from
accompanying summary.
The democrats have elected all can
didates. for parish offices whom they
lad previously endorsed, except the
one fol Parish Judge, which position
will continue to be adorned by The
present incumbent. Our officers elect
are for the most part Il not altogether
of the best possible material, and give
sure promise Of renewed prosperity to
Cameron. Our Representative elect is
a staunch democrat, Of the good old
kind, long tried and never found
wanting.

country. Few peoples have before
in the history Of the worlds occu-
pied a position so trying and yet
SO sublime. we doubt if in the
history Of the world there has ever
been so striking ard 50 splendid
an example Of poetic retribution.
lin 1872 the democratic and
Conservative people Of Louisiana,
trusting IN the guarantees Of the
Constitution and in the good faith
Of the American people, went into
the national canvass ana carried
their State election and elected a
full Stats government by over five
thousand majority. The Presi,
dentiI election was determined by
the great majority Of the other
States, and the result ia Louisiana
affected only the property COM
merciaI and industrial interests Of
her own people. The party in
power stepped ID, nuIIifad the will
Of the people, and wich the power
Of the army and navy installed
over US a usurpatiou the most law
less and Infamous that ever ours
ed the earth. The country was
startled at the.audacity and mag
uitude of the crime. Louisianians
were Indignant, but trusting, in
the generosity of their countrymen
and the love Of the American for
constitutional liberty, they struck
no blow, bHt made their appeal to
the peogIesand to the Congress for
redress, How was their appeal
answered? How was their pro-
test against this great national
crime met? Literally with de-
rision and contempt. Helpless be-
fore tine armed power of the Gov
ernment, powerI6ss before the
hate of the North and West they
submitted as best they could to

UNLIMITED REMEDIAL RESOURCES,

People sometimes suppose that DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines represent the
entire extent of his resources for curing
disease. This is an error. Experience
proved that while the Golden Medical
Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets. Compound Ex-
tract of Smart Weed, and DIR. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy, would, if faithfully used,
cure a large variety of chronic COM
plants, there would be here and there a
case which, from its severity, or from
its complication with other disorders,
would resist their action. These excep
tional cases required a thorough exam
ination into their symptoms, to ascertain
the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease Or diseases under which the patient
was laboring, and the use of specific
remedies o meet and overcome the same.
This led to the establishment of the
Worlds Dispensary, at Buffalo, n. Y,
with its Faculty of Physicians and Sur
geons, each of whom is skilled in the
treatment of chronic disorders in general
and those belonging to his own special
department in particular. To one is
assigned diseases of the throat and lungs;
to another, diseases of the kidneys and
urogenital organs; TO another, diseases
OF the digestive system; to another, dis
eases of the nervous system; and to
another, diseases of the eye aid ear
Thus the highest degree of perfection in
medicine and surgery is attained. The
establishment Of this institution enables
the Doctor so meet a long felt want in
the treatInnnt of the more severe chronic
affections. By careful consideration
of the symptoms as given In writing, he
successfully treats thousands of cases at
their homes. Others visit the Dispen-
sary in person. The ampiest resources
for the treatment of lingering affections
are thus placed at the disposal Of every
patient, AID those OH whom the proprie-
tary medicines do not haye the desired
effect can procure more thorough and
efficient course by personal application
to the proprietor of the Worlds Dispen-
sary.

other garments O. the old Colonial style.

was an old sloch hat, which looked rath-
er out of place. His hair was exceed

which he claimed as baggage, saying
that he Intended TO utilize the bear skin
in improvisin: unifOrn in which to

The dyke melted like snow and at 3
O'Clock ths waters burst forth with a
mighty rush, sweeping away everything
in its path. Trees were twisted, snapped
and uprooted, earth and boulders we've
torn from between the hills, leaving a
rough gorge several rods in width. At
