SABINE.
AS usual some smart radical '-A'eA
has been going about shaking his wise
head aud smiling over the idea OF
Democratic sweep in Sabine. TINS
same kind of talk was INDUCED in i'll
lc7l, and the public have been en-
Gagged ever since in hunting for more
than one radical vote in tho parish.
Now we have it from the best
authority IN Sabine parish that the
Democratic majority will be fnll 'Soo;
all reports to the contrary arc 'a'Se
in every particular.
DESOTO.
This parish has lcen talked OF as
doubtful, not by those who best Knew
but by radicals who trump up these
rcports to discourage the tlmld, but
t]ey can all rest assured that DeS"to
will poll u very heavy majority for
the Democratic ticket.
The fault with DcSoto parish has
bcen its Encouragement, for he 1t
remembered that that parish, IN
point of intelligence, ranks rs high

the iliotic plumbers some one has
committed there this year, we would

Forward to Victory.

The returns are all in from the late
elections ; the result stands thus:
Democratic Indiana.
Democratic West Virginia.
Republican Ohio.
That settles the business.
Tilden was nominated upon the
presumption that with the South and
New York he could be elected. Add
Indiana and the prestige of her vic
tory, and the election of a Democrat
ic President is assured,
BUT WE MUST WORK!
Ten days hence, telIow-citizens of
Natchitoches, and yon grapple the
enemy. The lines are formed, our
banners ale flung to the breeze, the
enemy is before us.
FORWARD TO VICTORY !

THEY CAN'T SEE IT,
They may be "BCTCllEE> anu

IF Ward Flowers and Hall are sue"

is it they are after them with money
and office if they have no '"fn'nce

The attempted Erib'.
Rrcda and other radicals OF THIS

few days since with Ward, Flowers
and Hall which was granted.
At that meeting the purposes for

These radical bummers told Ward
"you do not know what injury yor

we will be beaten"
"Just the thing l want,' says the
jplom,table Ward. II started out tt
crush your thicvins party and | al

Why this private attempt made t
corrupt Ward, Flowers and Hall wit
money, office, or any thing else, Will
their dirty organs denounco them a
"II'oolly Headed Niygers' !
Inward, Flowers and Hall are {
"no force,' why islt that the Blum
crowd is run to death to keep tn
colored men from hearing them spea
in public or in having social tai
with them'
The truth is that Ward, Flower
and Hall have the confidence OF I'll
colorcl voter. Ward and Flower
have
Shed Their Blood
for the liberties and rights of the
race and the colored men all know
while snch scoundrcls as Blunt ar

but rob, steal and promise.

The pertinacity with which Rad'-
Gals and tho Radical press in the
country, where it justifes the surmlsc,
cling to that redoubtable and ever to
be remembered
| TWELVE HUNDRED
colored majority, is, within itself an
evidence of intended fraud too pal
pable to be mistaken.
Even after count of the Books OF
Registry by Russ, the Registrar of
this parish, the "organ' still harps on
1900 to 400 colored majority, whe"
no such majority erer existed.
Mr.. Parson, Mr.. Burdick, and other
Republicans, who are now supporting
tho Reform candidates, but who were
in at tho commencement of the Re-
publican party in this parish, state
that there nerer wos q thousand regis
tered colorel majority, eren IN their
best days.
There arc less colored men in Match
itochcs parish to day than there ere'
wus, and more whites.
Registrar Russ, we understand,
c)incs 70 New Orleans orders for his
figures, which the books he registers
upon, and count thereof made BY
himself and assistants ut'er'yrefHtes.
There has been so much talk in
dulged in since the beginning, by
Radical officials about tair election
that we had begun to think that VIZ
would have it, not from any love o
fairness on the part of Radicals, bu
for fear Of consequences. Such stat'
of facts as this of Natchitoches
would warrant the belief that on
surmises about fair election wer
incorrect.
Be that as it may, we will still in

The Colfax Chronicle on the
Muscle,

1t some how happens that the In
dcpepdent sheets throughout the State
never have one word Of condemna-
ton to utter against Kellogg or Pack
ard or their minions, but can always
find time to abuse such persons as
have heretofore helped those two
'miscreants" On. Y. Tribune) "run'

der such assistance as they can, to
help the people they so long, pels's-
tently and cruelty wronsed.
We never have had, nor will We
ever have confidence in or respect
for the utterances Of an "1ndepcnd-
ent Journal' in Louisiana mean,
of course, those country sheets, snch
as the Colfax Chronicle, and others
we could name, that exist simply up
on the crumbs of the Radical feast
thrown them as a price for silence
when God knows it is dear at any
price.
The Co1Eax Chronicle holds up its
dainty hands at the apostacy OF Ward
and Flowers.
We would like to know upon what
authority that sheet speaks for the
Democrats of Grant parish.
We happen to know that those 'rho
fouqht Ward and Flowers at Coltax
arc not half rs mad as tho Chronicle
man, who was never there. We saw
: men who stood the brunt of that
memorable battle talking to Ward
!, and Flowers on our STREETS, and they
! did not seem to be so much huffed as
Il tho Chronicle. Maj. Frank McGloin,
q than whom no truer, 'braver, more
S honorable gentleman exists, told us
S that Ward and Flowers made their
: explanations of the Colfax affair, and
their connection with it, to Captains
Nash and Hoe, Mr.. Tom Hickman,
:, tho young Blanchard's and Others
:, who did a deal of fighting at that
- battle and they were satisfied, and

1t may be true, yet We doubt 1t,
that some of the colored men WILL
vote with them, If they do,' they will
be so few that they will not be miss
ed. What! talk of men who have
withered and groaned under the
Democratic lash! who have moaned
and suffered under their clanklng
chains and ponderous letters; who
have treaded the tangled swamp and
deep morass, followed by the british
bay of the savage blood. hounds, vo-
ting for the party that thought to
perpetuate these hellish scourgcs, is
to talk ofligh Heavens Angelic hosts
mixing aud commipglipg with the de-
PRAYED demons.
The above is from the Natchito-
ches Republican of last week.
There is no one in the whole party
of thicving pimps in this place, with
moral courage enough to own the
authorship OF. the above.
We dare the author to name him
sclf-name or quit, you cowardly, in
famous cur.
Comparing such thieves as Myers
Breda, and Blunt such blackguard'
as Ezernack and TunDard eucl
scoundlels as Van Dusen and Lewis
with "IIeaven's Angelic Hosts.''
What damning sacrilege. What al
Infamous slur upon virtue and in
telligence.
And then denouncing the whit
people as "depraved demons
What fate the scoundrel who wrot
that deserves, and what he would re
ceiye, he well knows himself, becaus
he, like the hound that he is, will nc
dare give his name.
But week longer, friends, and til
hour of retribution will be at han(
when these villains Wal cry to til
mountains to fall upon tlem.
