''Are you ready ,"
GENERAL E. c. wALTHALLL.
''Is your powder dry, boys?"
We have been informed that this gen.
tleman made a speech at Grenada on the
4th inst. in which he told the ''boys"
that the vote of the entire South would
be cast and counted for Tilden and Hen
bricks. He was just from the North,
and was told by Northern Democrats
that they would take the matter in hand
themselves. He predicted that Tilden
would be inaugurated by force, and no
votes would or should be thrown out
He said they would need 500, 900 men
from the South, and asked, eff they
were ready" The cries of yes which
rent the air proved that the fires of
hatred to the government have never
died out He inquired eff their guns
We're ready" and "their powder dry"
And again deafening yes was his an

Editor Republican,
DEAR SIR The information fur
nished by me of General WalthaI's
speech here on the 10Th inst, was entire
ly from hearsay, and l am now thorough
ly satisfied General Walthall never
made any such speech as that reported
in your paper. 1t is due him that you
should publish this, as he is known here
to be a very conservative man, though
an active and pronounced Democrat.
Yours truly,
VIM. PRICE.
In reference to the alleged COURAGE"

The correspondence between the

mission of the Radical emissaries was
not to secure "a fair count of the vote:
actually cast, but to encourage the Rad

that Congress, which has exercised dis

work of hitting folly as it flies, and
showing up the political and social

A COMMUNICATE from this place,
who daubs himself "Sam," does
Judge Richardson a great injustice
in your last issue. He should re-
member that Judge r. is too well
known in Grant parish for any
one under the fimsy disguise of a
name to try to create the impress
sion that he would not be popular
as q candidate. Richardson is
neither a candidate for Senator
nor Justice of the Peace, but he is
the peoples candidate for Parish
Judge. and is the only available
man In Grant parish for the posi-
ton. / trust all good citizens in
the parish will unite, put their
shoulders to the wheel, and push
him THOUGH.
Now, Sammy, be quiet; little
soothing-syrup and a foot-bath,
or maybe general ablution would
be good for you. Suffice it to say,
Sammy, keep cool; keep your
shirt on and all will be well. Adieu
