While the minds OF the body |
polite are being considerably ex-
ercised, over the question Of a
suitable candidate for State Sena-
tor for this district, 1 shall ven
tare an opinion in advocacy OF the
claims of Grant parish for such
Senatorial honor. 1t appears to
have been well understood at the
last Senatorial Convention, that
oar %. iah she-ld have sprAforence
in the coming nomination. The
original compact, entered into by
Catahoula and Winn parishes,
having been consummated by the
nomination of DR.. Kelly, of Winn,
and agreed to by Grant, should
have satisfied our friend, the Doc
tor. But present appearances
| would indicate a departure by him
from the mutual agreement enter
ed into. at Sulphur Springs III
1872. The Doctor claims that he
has not served his country in the
capacity for which he was nomina-
ted, or, as contended by some,
elected to; but, where's the fault i!
Must the other parishes wait unit
he has another, or, perhaps,
third chance of success or defeat
Must the people of Grant ane

position is too ridiculous to NEE

Editor CHRONICLE
In presenting your paper to the
good people of Grant parish, you
have added another mighty inAu-
ence of power for good or evil to
those already in existence, which
time alone can determine. From
the spirit and tone of your saluta-
tory, we have every reason to be-
)ieve that the CHRONICLE will be
only for good. We are exceedingly
glad to see its Independent feature,
for, Just at this time, when
one-sided party spirit begins to
draw its lines, and kindle political
strife between 6eighbors that have
hitherto lived in peace, we want
some true, independent patriot, to
stand forth in the breach and tell
us what wrongs our heated party
ism has lead us into. This, in
part, we trust, will be the work OF
the CHRONICLE.
The different political parties oil
the parish are organizing for the
great work before them that must
be done this fall work that
will result in veal or woe, as fal
as its influence goes, to the people

mile wide. General Custer lad
vanced on it, making eighty niles
in twenty-four hours. Previous to
the battle, when near the village,
the Indians seemed to be moving
in hot haste, as if retreating.
General Reno attacked them with
three companies, and was imme-
diately surrounded. After a des-
perate fight be cut his way out and
gained a bluff about three hun
