Our Packet.

We begin to believe ana are really
rejoiced to make public that belief
that the planting, mercantile and
travelling community of Rapides have
at last gtasped in full the patent fact
that the Packet system, as now car
ried on by Captain Dick Sinnott,
with his peerless and magnificent
Bart. Able, is the only safeguard and
protection to them and their business
and pleasure relations. We are now
fully convinced of it from the fact,
that so far this season the Packet
has received nearly all the patronage
of the community, whose forethought
and good sense we are now commen-
ding, and that her trips are now be-
ginning to realize some income for
the immense investment of capital,
labor and work. We cannot too Of
ten alludc to our favorite of the Red
River trade, and now cement our
pencil efforts in her behalf with the
verdict of an appreciative and liberal
community.
AS usual on Monday morning she
touched her home wharf and her
Pineville, with full cargo and a fair
lot of people. On her down trip she
had again a decent load, consisting
of: 1906 bales of cotton, 1856 sacks
of cotton seed, 4 sacks Of seed cot.
ton, 80 barrels of molasses aud
hogsheads of sugar. She goes down
this day at noon on time, with an.
other full load.

THE visit Of tho Prince Of Wales
to the East Indies is the ocUasion Of
many remarkable Incidents Soon af-
ter the Princes arrival there, Lord
Northbrook, the Governor-G General Of
India, resigned his office, which he had
held for only about three years. On
the 9th inst, we learned by Telegraph
from Lucknow, that while the Prince
was out on pig.sticking expedition
his companion, Lord Darlington, got
his collar.boDe broken through acct.
dent. On the 10th we learned by tele-
graph from Delhi that while the
Prince was enjoying the spectacle Of a
military parade, Lord Napier, the
commander Of the East Indian armies,
was thrown from his horse and had his
collar bone broken. But the Prince Of
Wales himself has been lucky. There
has not even been any Of the attempts
upon his life which were apprehended
before he set ont on his tour.

The State Senate, under the
control of the Radicals has passed
substitute for the House election bill
containing most odious features Of a
most odious Returning Board, far
worse and more infamous than the
present one. We begin to think
that all Legislation now has come to a
dead hitch, and that Kellogg and his
party are determined to run the
State to perdition. Morton's bloody
shirt and Blaine's grave clothes are
to be Haunted at Us forever and ever.
Something startling may be expected
in the turn of events at any moment
in New Orleans.

Our Parish Jail was empty and
Cleaned OUT of prisoners for the
twenty-four hours ending on Friday
evening last, but a few minutes after
wards received q recruit in the per-
son of the negro desperate whose
case we allude to elsewhere. He
was put in to fill up and keep time,
but on Monday morning was taken
out and conveyed to Natchitoches on
the Able. As we write the sold
inn" is again tenantless and empty.

SHERIFF Paul, ON last Friday,
arrested and brought to his sHotel"
on Lee Street, a notorious and des-
perate negro burglar and theft, who
was a fugitive from some one of the
upper Parishes. The arrest, how
ever, was not an easy or peaceable
one, but our Sheriff made the trip
and did his work. The negro was
secreted in his wife's cabin, on the
river eight miles above here, antici-
pating, as he thought, the Sheriff,
and discharged his gun at him, but
missed his aim, and the Sheriff, re-
turning the fire, struck the negro
and brought him to the floor, but he
recovered and clubbing his gun, made
at the Sheriff in second earnest, when
in return the Sheriff again gave him
the contents of the other barrel of
his gun. This finished the work
and made the arrest easy. A Deputy
Sheriff from Natchitoches is here
with warrant for the prisoner, but
will have to leave without him, as he
is too bad off now to travel. His
wounds are considered serious and
his recovery doubtful.
The "boys'' of Stonewall Hook
and Ladder Company No. l, though
it was the most unreasonable and
bad weather of the season, had a fine
and recherche turn out and a good,
jolly time of 1t. All were pleased,
and in their handsome uniforms
looked and danced to perfection, and
the cares and troubles of this world
we're smilingly forgotten by the en-
tire reunion. We congratulate them
on the happy termination of their
annual feast, that they may all live a
hundred years and this writer be the
chef mourner to the funeral Of the
last one of them.

Ransom, sit face to face with Bruce,
the dnsky bondman, who reached
the full stature Of citiacnshiptiirong
the fame Of battle that discounted
them. The carpet Dagger still lin-
gers over the desolation lie has
wrought III the Commonwealths he
mocks in the name Of freedom, and
shames the Senate with each return
ing day, as he struts about it awk
wardly crowned with its withered
chaplets. One BY one they fall un-
wept as the reconstructed insurgents
take their places, and step BY step,
like the advance of a great army,
tie Democrat and independent an
swer where were heard tile voices OF
men who forgot country in blind
or corrupt partisansllip. Two speak
for the land of steady habits, one
sits behind Conkllng; another is the
colleague Of Cameron; another fills
the place of Wade; another fore
shadows the fate of Morton; another
tells of the revolution in Michigan;
another reflects the protests Of Miu-
nesota; another bears testimony that
Wisconsin will not bow to the party
yoke, another tells the story Of
Williams overthrow in the far
Northwest, and from the Golden
State comes the fearless admonition
Of Booth. Ofall the original Lincoln
Administration only Cameron, Welles
and Blair survive, and Cameron fifty
stands alone in the party line. Such
are the changes Of fifteen years, such
the lessons of human ambition.
