EXTENSIVE Moss ENTERPRISE

EXTENSIVE MOSS ENTERPRISE
We learn that our young and
enterprising friend, Mr.. Frank
Barker, connected for the last
seven years with the firm of Sc
vim & Gourdin, (now F. P. Sevinj
has bought the place known as
the Grand Bots settlement, coll
Sisting of 1000 acres OF land. on
Bayou Blue, a few miles below
Lockport, parish of Latourche,
for the sole aurpose of gathering
moss, Mr.. Barker has taken iii
partnership for that purpose one
of his brothers, AlexadeI Barker,
and Mr.. Joseph C%bauvin, who
will attend to the gathering OF
the moss. while Mr.. Frank Bar
ker, who still keeps his ole posts
ton, will attend to the sale OF the
moss in New Orleans. He has
now ten hands employed in the
work, and is determined tc make
it a success. Mr.. Barker contends
that If there is money in raising
cotton, there must be in moss, tor
they average about the same
prices, and moss can be gathered
with much less expense. We wish
him that success which his enter
prise deserves.-SuGdY BOtcl.

RRAXTON BRAGG.-OuI

GEN. RRAXTON BRAGG.-Our
former fellow citizen Gen. Bragg
fell dead in the streets of Calves
ton a few days ago. When the his
tory of this country and the part
which the deceased acted in the
eventful periods Of his life. will be
written by an impartial historian,
the name of BraxtOn Bragg will
occupy a conspicuous page.
As Il soldier he was famous as
a disciplinarian in camp and a
hero in the field. In the midst of
carnage and of battle he was the
personifcation of courage and he
roism.
In private life, he was a good
citizen, a good neigbor, honorable
and just in his dealings with his
follow men, faithful to his promi-
SEES, and true to his obligations.
Gen. Bragg may we'll be lamen
ted in his death, for in his life he
was truly great.

Judge B~eattie, His profess
siOns and his acts.
ASSUMPTION, Ger. iTH, 1876.

Mr.. Editor.
A few evenings since the upper
portion Of this parish was graced by the
presence of that sublime enigma and politi-
cal oyster. Judge Beattie, who appeared be
lore his constituents to explain to them
what he was, since there nave been so many
surniises regarding his exact status. His
audience consisted of perhaps forty colored
voters. and about half that number of Con-
sentative citizens of the tenth ward, who
dropped in to hear what the Judge had to
say for himself in defence of his erratic pc
litical course. He began by urging all his
hearers to vote for Hayes, Wheeler and
Packard. said the latter was a personal ac-
quaint ance of his, and a good Republican
like himself spoke of Gen. Nichols as a
gentleman whom surroundings however he,
the Judge, sdid not admire, and upon his
being applauded by his Republican friends
present for such warm professions OF party
feilty, his honor! became completely obi
vi"us OF tie fact of his being an iadepen-
tent candidate, and fairly launched out i'll
to an old fashioned Radical harangue.
Fearing however that his expressions OF
such ardent devotion to the Packard crew
might be too distasteful to those of his con-
servative friends present the Judge sim
mered down Il little towards the close of his
speech by urging his hearers to Support only
honest and competent men for office. saying
that he intended himself OH election day to
do a little scratching. His latter declaration
OF intention was supposed to apply more
particularly to our coIored aspirant for e
atorial honors whom, about an hour before
his address his Judgeship was heard to say
eniphatica'ly in conversation with several
prominent gentlemen of the tenth ward,
that he would under no circumstances vote
for or support and whom throughout his re-
marks he studiously avoided. alluding to.
Altogether the let-otf of the Judge was emf.
nentiy characteristic of him. One of his old
attempts to please both sides resulting as
usualin his displeasing both. EUREKA.

Ok Il communication which was
published in the New Orleans
Bee, III its issue of last Sunday.
Office LatoMrche Republican,. !
Ihloodaux, La, Sept, 25th, '7G
Mr.. EDITOR.
[ believe that my
past career as a German Republi
can, as an ex>otlicer in the Union
army, and, as all officer of this
State, authorizes me to request of
you to publish, in your paper, a
few lines in reference to the com
ing electoral campaign.
Nearly seven Years of faithful
service i'll the army, as we'll as a
faithful adherence to the princi>
pie OF my party, give me the
right to discuss political matters.
Whilst | am not at all convinc-
ed that the National Republican
! party is powerless to undergo a
change for the better and to res
form itself. and whilst for this
reason | offer no opposition to it's
candidates, my experience of the
past ten years teaches. that iu
the South, particularly in Louisi>
ana, there is no Republican party
worthy OF the name.
After having done all that lay
in my power to bring better ele>
ments into my party, the
scandalous convention of the ST.
Charles Theatre has convinced
me OF the fnti!ity of my efforts.
That | might not harm my Re
publican friends in their local
ticket, consented to place that
famous State ticket ut the head
OF the columns of the Laf0urche
Republican, but as the latter have
not on that account become bet~
ter, | do not see why | should re
main silent any longer. when
may accomplish some good by
expressing my sentiments public
ly.
Facts have convinced me that
owning to the complete power
Iessness of the party to reform
itself, all those who represent in
teliigence, landed property, capi~
tai and mercantile interests have
kept aloOf-and herein we have
the secret why we have hereto>
fore been able to obtain the i'm.
migration and capital of whicl,
we stand in such absolute need
for the proper development OF
our resources.
| have, certainly, no personal
objection to Mr.. Packard, the
candidate of my party, who has
ever treated me as a friend
nay | would be one of the last tt
quarrel with the present governor
tor saying that Mr.. Packard
wonld make an excellent consel
vative governor. YET circumstal
ces show that Mr.. Packard wi
succeed no better than his prpdt
cessors in gaining the contidenc.
of the property-ho.ders, and witt
out this-nadU.
| believe that the election o
the Packard Antoine ticket woul(
have no other resnit than a pro
longation for four years more
of the actual condition of thing!
and no L%ouisianian of sound sense
can deny that nothing but ruiz
would result there from.
believe it to be the duty o
every patriotic citizen to supper
the Nichols. Witt ticket, and tt
!. this end will be directen my hes
efforts in the present campaign

cholls for the past ten years, ant
[ know that what he has pro
missed to do he will surely do.
