Washington has proved very I'M

Though his friends profess to be very
much alarmed about his health there
are many who believe that he is not

his political existence is in more
danger of q sudden termination than

THE MASS MEETING.

The Mass Meeting of the Demo

Hall, in this Town, on last Saturday,
was truthfully and eminentIy a good
one, a large one, decent and re
spectacle demonstration Of the true
and genuine feelings Of our people in
favor of our cause, and in favor OF It's
National standard bearers, Tilden,
the. great Reformer, and Hendricks,
the great and pure Governor of
Indiana. We have seldom seen more
people from the rural precincts come
to Town On the same day and assem-
BILE together with more determine
ton, zeal and fervor The men who
there assembled were from every
section of the Parish, and the very
stamina and solid worth of the Par.
ty. We felt good to greet such anG
to be permitted to see the campaign
open under such favorable auspices
The meeting was very appropri
ately, effectively and eloquently ad
dressed by Judge Manning, one o
the Delegates at large to the late St
Louis Convention, who rendered tt
his home constituents q thrilling
and interesting detail and account o
his mission, which opened the inter

to follow on the part of home orator
and champions. The remarks 0
Judge Manning were followed b.

ing, which are published elsewhere

dawn in the breasts of the whiskey-
ring convicts and their hackers.
Petitions are being circulated pray
ing for the pardon Of Avery and
other prominent operators in the

is asserted that the President would
like to pardon these knaves and that
his advisers have as much as they
can do to prevail upon him to defer
their pardon until after the Presi
Dental election. Bristow was treat
ed very shabbily by Grant and his
toadies when he resigned from the
Cabinet. None Of the customary ci
Whites were extended to him, and he
left Washington quite in disgrace
with the ring. Cameron, Robson
and Chandler could not conceal their
satisfaction at being rid of him. He
is the first Cabinet officer who has
retired for some time without a GER
tifcate of good character from Grant.

The Observation-Disclosures Rad
icalism's grand Show, under one
tent, after being in boisterous and
drunken session for nine long days,
has at last adjourned, and the ami
mails have all returned to their vari-
Gus homes. AS was to be expected
they have harmonized after a fash
ion, the prospective-co cohesive bonds
of public and private plumber being
the ligiments which have effected
the timely harmony. Packard, their
great Boss, more than well known in
Louisiana as our chief prosecutor
and Grant-Tyrant, is their nominee
for Governor; Antoine, poor, mis-
cradle, ignorant negro, fit tool and
dupe for the Boss, tails the Guberna-
torial ticket. Honore, another ne
gro, is honored with the seal Of the
State office; Brown, the great negro
Of the crowd, is intended again to
hold on to and WELD the School
purse; whilst Johnson, the present
Auditor, white man and pretty de
cent fellow so far, is again to be vo-
ted for Auditor; and William H.
Hunt, the youngest brother Of the
great Hunt family, a -fedged
traitor to his home, its interests and
its honor, is rewarded by the nomi-
nation of the Menagerie with the
important position of Attorney-Gen-
eral. This is the ticket we have to
face, to fight and win victory over.
We believe in our heart of hearts we
can defeat it!

AND ECONOMY

The troubles IN the house Oh he-
at the National Capt.
ol, over the appropriations bills, are
low wholly expressing their atten
ion, exclusive of almost everything
Else. 1t is conflict between cor
-upt extravaganza which the Radical
Senate seeks to perpetuate, and
commendable effort on the part OF
the Democratic House in favor OF
economE and a reduction of the ex-
penses Of the Government in their
lust and reasonable limits. The
House occupies an impregnable po-
sition on the question and must be
upheld by the great body of the tax
PAYERS of the country. No nation
on the face Of the earth shows such
a reckless and lavish expenditure of
public funds as the United States
under Radical rule. The people are
suffering from excessive taxation
which is imposed upon them to sup
port and keep in Office a crowd of
useless officials and all thinking men
Join in the hope that the Democratic
House will stand firm in the position
which it has taken. The great Sc
cret of the determined opposition
which the Radical Senate is making
to the reductions, determined upon
by the Democratic House, lies in the
fact that it would deprive the party
in power of a large corruption fund
which they hope to use to carry the
next Presidential election. They
feeI that the honest sentiment of the
country is against them, and that
the only hope Of perpetuating thei'
power lies in the lavish use of money
fraudulently diverted from the vaults
of the Treasury by means of exces
sive appropriations. For years past
The elections have been carried in IA
yor of the Radical party in doubtful
States and districts by buying ur
votes with money wrung from the
producing classes who are thus made
to pay the price of their own disfran
chisement. 1t is a fight for exis
tence on the part of the Radical of
fee holders, and an early settlement
of the deadlock which now exists
cannot very reasonably be expected
The nominations Of the Radicals
in our State, which have recently
been made under a herculean pres
sure, are but forerunner of all these
corruptions and antics of their bet
tiers at Washington, and with the
Democratic Con ;ervative masses
rests the fearful responsibility Of
understanding these continued is
sues, of facing them, and preparing
our lines to meet again the shock Of
the battle charge which they have
already sounded against them. We
have again the same old foe, living
kicking, defiant, with all its ranks
closed, cemented and compact, and
candor should compel us to acknowl
edge at least the pertinacity and ev.
erlasting pluck of such adversaries.
With us rests the awful responsible.
ity Of once more uniting and harmo,
nizing to give them battle, and strive
for the last time to defeat them with
such crushing blows, that this Cen,

Parish Executive Committee
--TnE Resolution Platform map

The Observation-Disclosures map
ped out for us TO stand on and fight
under, in this Parish, is plain, good
aud strong meaning one, with true
grit instincts, and the right ring,
and cannot fail to meet with full and
general appreciation. But it is to be
regretted that the Committee should
have marred it somewhat by extend
ing their powers beyond their limited
and usual Jurisdiction; yet this is a
harmless innovation which must be
overlooked, as we close our ranks,
and open fire under it's guidance.
We must pull together, we must be
as one man, our aims must be direct
ed solely against Radicalism, and
never for q single moment lose sight
of that important fact.

The election of Hayes means a
