They are Ours!

If the decentralization of the Radi'
cal party, and the desertion of their
former corrupt and Infamous leaders
by the negroes, exist in other por-
tions of this State to the fearful cx-
tent that it does in this parish, we
cannot for tho life of us ace where
the Radical following is to come from.
We say this, and say it candid|y,
challenging a refahtion, that not $50
negroes IN this parish are organised IN
the Radical ranks, and we say fur
ther, that two negroes belong to the
Democratic. Conservative clubs where
one belongs to the Radicals, and this
too, in a parish with $500 colored
voters.
Dark gloom and despair sits upon
the brow Of every Radical in the
placc-provcn thieves and sconn'lrels'
they hear the tramp Of the victorious
Democratic columns; they see with
trembling limb, the banners of the
hosts of virtue; they hear the clank
of the armed bands Of law and jus
tice, and their guilty souls sinks with
il their bodies.
The hour Of retribution is at hand
they feel it in the air; for a season
they have sunk honor that they nigh
, riot in the spells wrung from the hard
working white and black man of thu
= State; Int now Judgment is upo'
3 them, the trumpet has pealed forth il
E tones that command them to appea
before the bar Of an offended ant
! outraged people.
Nerve We, countrymen but for al
I honr, let your babes lisp courage t
the falttring, let wives whisper conr
: age to the weak, let mothers buckl
o the shield of honesty upon the arm
Of sons, bidding them
:, Come WITH it, when the battles done
- Or ON it from the field.
Democracy, Honor and Virtue, mus

Bismarck, July Cluster was
surrounded on every side by the
Indians, and horses fell as they

mainder. The bodies of all save
the newspaper correspondents,
were stripped, and most Of them
were horribly mutilated. Custer
was shot through the body and
through the head. The troops
cared for the wounded and buried
the dead, and returned to their
camp for supplies and Instructions
from the general ofthe army: Col.
Smith arrived at Bismarck last

Of last week against the VlNDlCA-

is certainly making a consumate mess

that howls Of mechanics and farmers

KniRh. T,mplars in Alexandria.

The citizens of Alexandria extended yester-
day an old-fashioned Virginia welcome to the
visiting Knights Templar of Virginia, Mary
land and the District Of Columbia. At 1890
O'Clock the Knights assembled at the rendez-
Tous on Washington street, and at l 80 p. m,
preceded by full brass band, marched over
the principal streets of this ancient city.
Along the route the residences were elabo-
rately decorated with Masonic emblems and
the American colors, while stretched across
the streets were displayed the Maltese cross
and the square and compass, arranged in an
artistic nsnner on banners. The procession,
after marching over the route, returned TO the
point from which 1t started and was dismissed.
In the evening q banquet was given the
knights. when speeches were made and toasts
responded 70 by prominent Masons.

The Lats General Giles A Smith.

On Wednesday, the Sth instant, the last sad
rites over the remains of Gen. Giles A. Smith,
late Second Assistant Postmaster General,
were celebrated in the Methodist church at
Bloomington. Illinois. There was q very large
audience, for Gen. Smith was much respected
by the people of Bloomington and of the
State, as well-as by large number of military
and official acquaintance. An artillery salute
was fred on the morning Of the day Of the
funeral, and the funeral eortege WAS headed
by military guard from Springfield. On
arriving at the church the guards presented
arms as the remains were taken within the
sacred edifce, and subsequently stacked arms
and took seats within the body of the church.
The exercises commenced with an anthem,
sung by the full church choir in q very touch
ing manner. The burial service WAS then read
by Chaplain Dean, of the Guards, and was fol-
lowed by Rev. 7. A. Parker in an eloquent and
touching prayer, in which comfort from above
was asked fer the bereaved family and for the
community, on whom had fallen this loss of
man Of rare ability and bravery while yet in
his prime. After "Watch and Pray" had been
sung by the choir, Rev. J. W. Dinsmore
preached a funeral sermon. His remarks were
not in the nature of eulogy, as that would
have been contrary to the desire of the de-
ceased and the expressed wishes of his friends,
yet, in closing the record of a man of such
prominence as General Smith, both in the mil
itsry and the civil service of the nation, 1t was
impossible to pass many events of his life
without some word Of praise. The reverend
gentleman said: ale risked his life on the
field Of battle that we at home might enjoy
the blessings Of free government"
The casket was wrapped IN the flag he had
so brayely defended and escorted to the ceme
terry, where all that was mortal of the soldier
AID the statesman were committed to the dust
with military honors. Among those presens
who attended the funeral were Gov. Be Ieridge,
Adjutant General Willard, George Harlow,
Secretary Of State; State Treasurer Ridgeway,
Attorney General Edsall and many other State
and military officers. These tokens of respect
to the remains of Gen. Smith will be crafty
ing to the large circle of friends which he left
behind him in this city on his retirement from
