We take pleasure in calling attention
TO the notice, published in another
column, announcing the formation of a
partnership for the auction and general
real estate business between Messrs.
A. Selle and p. Malochee. Capt. Selle
has been long and favorably known as a
careful business man and Mr.. Malochee
Is one Of those sterling men who, in the
pursuit Of their private business, do not
forget that they have public duties to
perform as good citizens. As President
OF our Parish Committee he has rem
dered efficient services to the Demo-
cratic party, and we hope that, during
the coming campaign, our political ship
will feel the weight of his steady hand
upon the helm.

Letter from st. Helena.
ST.. HELENA PARISH, La,
Ian n 1914


Jan. 81, 1875.
Mr.. Elitor-This parish, Democratic
on fair and square count by from thirty
to fifty majority, is at present in SEEM
ing state OF peace and quiet, and will
probably remain SO until the corrupt
officials, now holding positions by virtue
Of the infamous Returning Board and
by appointment, resign or are fOrcibly
ousted by an outraged and indignant
community, not able longer to tolerate
them. Thus far only two white men
have been arrested for negro concubinss
ago and properly punished, without ma
terial damage; also some half dozen
heathenish darkies, who were civilized
in the same way. At first dash, it may
appear reprehensible for affairs to as
sumo such an illegal squint, but when
bastard laws, born Of force and fraud,
hold sovereign sway, the only living
hope Of tyrannized people Is to resort
to any and every measure that will
enable them to stand erect In all the
pride and majesty Of republicanism as
defined by "the fathers mot its false
presentment of the present day. And
this the people. determinedly design
doing till every recreant scalawag, cor
rupt carpet Dagger and obnoxious negro
either quits the parish or quietly settles
into the diligent laboratory of good be-
havior. s
The colored laborers are rapidly en-
tering into contracts for the year, and
this year finds this thriftless and i'm
provident class, as a general thing, in
rags. And this reminds me that SOL
disant doctor is going the rounds of the
parish with the enticing temptations OF
coffee and sugar in exchange for these
rags-to be shipped to the paper mills
Of Boston. Alas, poor cuffee! When one
Of his many friends (?) wants to barter
away what little he has left, his patch
ed, puckered and filthy rags, for mere
taste Of the luxuries of life!
Thus far, with few exceptional DAYS.
the weather has been of such mild type
that vegetation has shot forth its foliage
far in advance of its appropriate season,
as II spring had been seated in the lap
Of winter from the skirt Of summer
until the now. The past two nights
have exhibited a skim Of ice cold enough
to check, but not sufficient to kill the
premature processes OF vegetation.
What effect this marvellous mildness Of
weather may have upon the soil, seed
cane, fruit, ETC., am not granger
enough to divine; but, to one up tree,
my agricultural reflections are not fav-
orabfe. What say our scientific wise
men-Prof. Tice, DR.. Nicholson and
others? FINY.

III winch the same VICal question Will D(
involved as in the famous but unfor
tunate struggle three years ago. That
question will be whether the best
classes Of the people in tho State, and
a majority, too, Of the voting popu
lation, shall govern Louisiana for theil
and its honor and welfare, or whether
a gang Of aliens, adventures and ne.
groes, claiming to be a Republica,
party, and in that name obtaining the
sympathy and support Of the Govern.
ment Of the United States il still under
the control OF the Republican and Radi.
cal party, shall again seize our beloved
commonwealth as so much spoil to be
portioned out among band OF piratical
or banditti plunderers. The thirty,
seventh section Of the bill continues
this obnoxious Returning Board in ex-
actly the shape most dangerous. A
majority OF the Board exercises all
Of its functions, and they, with their
alternates are appointed by the honest
de fdctO Governor. The minority repre-.
sentation on the board offered to the
Democrats and Conservatives, is just
equivalent to none whatever. It is per.
fectly powerless minority, under the cir
cumstances. The count and manipula.
ton OF the returns are thus virtually, az
an ultimate proposition, exactly the
count and return the Radical party may
desire or decree.
