The President and His Friends,

In the face of many discouragements,
energy to their belief in the personal
integrity Of the President. Not
withstanding his complaints of misre-
presentation and abuse, some of which
he has graveiy put before the country
in official public documents, the fact is
that no person in official station has
ever received so much consideration,
and had from the people such charita-
BILE treatment, as President Grant. No
man has ever been attended with such
loyal devotion, none ever so cordially
supported or so earnestly defended.
1t remains to be seen whether it
has not at last cost the party its ascen-
dancy in the country, and turned over
the Government to the Opposition.
\ In the recent developments, how
ever, affairs have reached such crisis
that the party which elected him, and
which has given him such answering
allegiance and personal devotion, can
do so no longer without putting in jeo-
pardy its own existence. It cannot be
longer denied that President Grant
whether knowingly or ignorantly does
not materials elected as his intimate
and confidential friends corrupt and
dishonest men, who used his friendship
as cover for frauds upon the Govern
ment of the most surprising character
nor can it be disputed that the Presi-
dent has used his office to protect them
in their operations, and his power to
punish and disgrace the Government
officials who undertook to bring them
to justice.
The testimony of Mr.. Bluford Wilson
late Solicitor of the Treasury, disclo-
ses a state of things which honest citi-
zens will read of with shame; an init
macy of relation between the President
and the whisky conspirators which
only falls short of actual completely.
There is 40 need of longer attempt
ing to hoodwink the public or gloss
over the conduct of the President.
Nor, we submit, will it do for Mr.. Frye
of Maine to talk nonsense to Congress
and the country, as he did on Satur-
day, about bringing down the great
name of "this great republic in the
eyes of the whole world, by investiga-
tions which bring out facts. The facts
and not the investigation brings dis
grace upon the country. The people
have seen the President sending GER
of character to rogues whom
the people drove out of Office, and him
self driving out every officer who had
shown zeal and energy in pursuing
rogues aad bringing them to justice.
That is what is disgraeeful about it,
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-08-16

and the sooner Mr.. Frye fndt it ont
and stops talking nonsense about it.,
the better it will be for bis party. y
There is but one question concerning
it which has any current interest, and
that is whether the Republican party
proposes to carry the responsibility of
it and to defend it through the Presi-
dental canvass. The only escape is
for the party to say distinctly in its
State ENNVHNGlNnsi w NE &vss Mace w
by its nominations Whetberit proposes
the continuance Of Grantism, and in
the second place by its resolutions
whether it approves the course Of the
Reformers who have been kicked out
hy the President. or the conduct of the
President in kicking them out. That
is a question that has peItinencc, and
1T will be wise, in tbs light of recent
occurrences, to consider it serlonsy.

Mr.. EDIToR--
The ball is still in motion here
Last Saturday the Tilden and Hen
bricks club, met at the school house,
and was addressed by Messrs. An
drews, Pardee and Hathaway, the
latter gentleman being q candidate
for Clerk of the District Court, and
may prove to be the "cheual noir."
Candidates are as thick out here as
gnats in August, and yoa meet them
almost daily; one is seeking more
(Moore) votes,-another hath way
Hathaway ofstumping for success;
third is hoeing (Hooe.ing) his way
steadily:a fourth thinks he has some
thing owing (Owen) to him, and
lastly there is Smith who is trying
to clinch the nail. ALI the candi-
dates have supporters here. We
give our Grand Barbecue on the 26th
inst, and on the same day hold pre-.
liminary ballotting for candidates
for nomination. Every man IN the
ward will be present and no Juggling
nor caucusing, but the good old fash
toned prelim, will decide the thing.
Everything out here looks prosper
GUS and happy, and every body at
work, no lazy folks. Even the wom-
en- here build themselves houses
There is a small widow living near
here, who has, with son IL or IL
years old built herself a house and
put up a fence. I am assured she
got out all the boards and timber and
split the rails, and she weighs only
100 pounds. She is above want, hav-
ing for this winters use and sale 81
meat hogs. How does this compare
to some folks, that call themselves
men, and say times are hard, and
they can't get along. There has not
been rain here for over three
months, yet crops are good. Cotton
has commenced to open. To cite an
instance of the fertility of the Piney
Woods lands, I saw on Sunday a
stalk Of corn, with 6 ears of corn
4 large ears well filed and 2 nub-
bins. That will do for Piney Woods
lands. AGRICOLA.
