WHEAT--There have been no extensive de-
liveries Of new wheat, either by rail or team.
The farmers have not yet had time to thresh
and deliver their wheat at the local elevators,
even if they were disposed to deliver as soon
as the grain was threshed As it is now ac-
knowledged IN all quarters Of the northwest,
that the years crop Of Wheat will be renar kably
light. the operators in wheat and the miilers,
who will doubtless need the whole OF the crop
to keep their machinery in operation, are Won
dering what disposition will be made by pro-
dncers Of their product. The question does
not seem difficult dissolution. As the crop is
excessively small growers Of wheat will not, it
appears, sell more than they are absolutely
compelled to sell, until their idea of what prices
ought to be has been nearly or quite reached.
The same may be said Of the large amount of
old wheat still held back in the interior.
Last weeks quotations still prevail. Good
No. wheat, which is the best grade arriving,
with very few exceptions, is saleable to spec
ulative buyers and TO millers at Soc; inferior
No. 2 at 90a92c. No. when it is offered, is
quickly purchased by millers at 81 GOAL ,05. but
this quality is very seldom offered. Much Of
the new wheat Offering will notgrade by the
scales above No. 8 and for this 90c is paid.
The following are the quotations Of No. 2
wheat in the great markets yesterday week and
Yesterday showing the course of prices during
the week under review.

THE LOWER GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL.

The Graduating Exercises Last Evening.
The School Board, one OF the incubus
ON this community, in high spirit OF
economy, last evening packed large
audience to suffocation in the main
room OF the Normal School, where the
exercises OF the Girls High
School OF the Second, Third and Fifth
Districts took place. 1t is true that Q
larger and better ventilated hall could
have been obtained at small expense,
but It is barely possible that the School
directors, who daily filch the public,
bethought themselves that it would look
more like retrenchment to use the
Normal School building for effect. There
can Be- no other reason, for any attempt
q their part to make people believe
that they are honest will only provoke
,.nOhtAr. Al it was, the schoolroom
,-ss overpoWeringly hot, and many OF
tha invited guests had to withdraw Tor

GIVE HIM BONE.
The unsophisticated urchin was not
aware that this Is not the KIND OF nesh
Mr.. Boothby feeds on. This evidence
Of dignity i'm the proceedings was 1oi,
lowed by another episode. A hardsheli
reverend gentleman, who was lntrusted
with the duty OF making the address

mas. delivered what we mistook 1or
sermon and sat down. finding seat
next to sable individual, slapping
whom on the fieshy part OF the leg. he
addressed him thus: Brother Jones,
whar did you worship to-day" This
capped the climax and set the swelter-
ing audience giggling The breaking
down OF few benches under the welgnt
OF the spectators lent further diversion
to the affair and showed how well II was
managed. TIT
AS to the exercises proper, which
were conducted by the amiable anu
efficient Principal. Miss j.. simmons,
assisted by Misses j. Kendall, d. A;
Mrs. p. r. Miller. they were in every
respect OF excellent quality, including
salilsstnry by Miss X. Benezech, and 2

very creditable efforts; and then came

Sugar Town, La, Oct. 20, 1876.
Fellow Citizens Of CalCasjeU
and to Mr.. E. T. Lewis.

In reply to q message from Mr.. 4.
T. Lewis and L. DuPre, We the under
siPnedmake this public statement. As
regards their being intoxicated, we do
not affirm that they were, but the ma
jority of those present say that Mr.
Lewis was intoxicated The next morn
ing Mr. Lewis inquired of Mr.. Han
Chey, Zone to whom they referred for
proof Of their proceedings whilst here,)
if the people thought he was intoxl-
Gated. Mr.. Hanchey stated to him that
that was the impression he made upon
those who were present. He expressed
himself as regretting it very much. But
as for Mr.. Lewis denouncing Mr..
CAN'T, we do emphatically assert that
he did, and in his address to the as
sembly which consisted of both ladies
and gentlemen, and in these words !:
''That he, (NTr. CAN'T, poor fellow. was
dead, and IN hell, reckon, 1 hope so,
anyhow"
And now he personally challenges any
Individual present to face him in it. If
he will repair once more to Sugar Town
he can have it cast to his teeth, and if
we do not, we will then acknowledge
that we are knaves, brutes, liars and
COWardlV Slanderers.
The public may think we are assum-
ing more authority than is due us but,
as we have expressed our opinion freely
on the subject, and have not been par
ticular where, nor to whom, it comes
almost like a personal challenge con-
sequeQtly we feel that it is a duty we
owe to ourselves, and reminds us OF a
duty we owe to the people to make this
statement, and ought we not to have
done this without challenge? Doubt
less we ought, when we have heard the
simple negro, judiciously, of their own
opinion, condemn him for it in Ian
gUage like this: 81 Was goine to vote
for Mr.. Lewis, but now I can't, case he

To the Lake Charles Echo.
Please allow an humble voter of the dem
ocratc ticket Of this the Tenth Senatorial Dis
ttrict, to publish through the columns Of your
worthy paper. some of the proceedings that
occurred at this place on last Saturday the 28th
inst
Many democrats, including myself, fur
nished means to give a barbecue, at Lake
Charles, and extended q general invitation to
the people of tho entire parish, without regard
to race, color, or previous party affiliations,
30 as to enable our candidates to give expression
to their sentiments, and encourage all unregis-
tered voters to register.
I feel that the people responded to our call
in a spirit that was exceedingly gratifying, Ind
everything went off tremendously until shortly
after the rival OF T. c. Anderson, the radical
candidate for the Senate from this District,
who began electioneering with the negroes, in
town, and acain on their return to town from
the barbecue, they crowding close around him,
he treating them to what whisky they desired,
saying, Drink heartily" and :-iany accepted
his invitation, until they were so drunk that
they lost their better Judgment and went so
far as to hug the Hon. T. c. Anderson around
the waist, and one actually struck Mr.. Smith,
white gentleman, aud then drew glass tumbler
on him. At this iuncturo Mr.. 7. c. Anderson
withdrew from the bar room, apparently in
hurry, and it is the opinion of myself and many
others that he thought he had accomplished
his objcc,, to wit, that of raising general
fight between the negroes and the whites, and
getting few negroes killed, so as to prey upon
the pryjudices of their race for political pur-
poses, and give his pet returning B3ofd q
prctext to throw out the vote of the parish of
CaIcasieu, as they did other parishes in 1874.
