To Candidates, and Others.


The columns OF the CHRONICLE
are taken up with communications
from persons of both political par
ties-certainly, they are of a local
character, and tend to make our
paper of great interest to the peo-
pie Of this District and parish; but
we never started the paper for the
purpose of being medium thro'
which would-be office-hojders Tor
their friends) could bring them
selves before the people. We are
an Independent journal, and in
tend to be one, and we want both
parties to have the use of our
columns, in legitimate way, to
as great an extent as we can; but,
gentlemen, WE have a right. The
candidate should announce HIM
self through our columns, under
our heading of Candidates. An
nouncements,' subject to the NOM
nation of his party, and if he is
no party man, and thinks he can
reach the goal desired, because of
his popularity-why, he has the
same privilege. We are no black
mailer, but demand our rights,
and che who runs may read.' BY
referring to our terms, on the first
column of the first page, you can
see what candidates announce
ment costs, and our rules will be
strictly adhered to--no deviation.
Now, no one can take offense at
this, as it is not personal, but it is
addressed to all whom it may con-
corn. We are very liberal in our
dealings, but we cannot afford to
work for nothing. We cannot
make our paper a blow-horn for
men of both parties to blazon forth
their names, and enter into and
keep up discussions-and when
they see their articles in print they
can lie back and laugh at their
own smartness, and how heavy
they hit Tom, Dick, or Harry, and
the good they done for themselves
or favorites. Does the thought
ever occur to you that all
this takes us from 4 o'clock in the
till 10 o'clock at night, every day,
with hardly a minute to eat our
meals-to grant you all this-and
then do it without pay? IF You
have not read the tale of the bows
Ind the frogs, do so, and you will
see the moral. There is not a
candidate mentioned in all the
communications that has paid his
subscription, and only two are
subscribers. We are under ex-
penses of one sort and another
every day that demands cash
everything in our business has to
be paid for on delivery-so give
a fair show, gentlemen, and let
cash accompany your orders. And
! in the matter of subscription for
the paper We have to say few
words. Everyone wants it, but
few pay for it. Now any one who
wants it can much easier raise two
dollars to pay for it than we can
afford to let it out on credit
to about two hundred and fifty
individuals.
y There is not one of you but is
aware of the difficulty a printer
has in collecting his little bills,
and especially from disappointed
candidates. We have had expe-
rience in this matter, gentlemen.
Promises to pay, are not pay. If
our columns are worth anything,
they are worth being paid for.

had been shot by Mr.. Theo. S. kel
ier, while the latter was acting ab a
deputy of Trial Justice Robertson.
This! particulars os,the the affair, as
far as we havo been able to gathor
thom' arc M as IS follows: ~, Mr.. Keller
went, I'm company With Messrs.
Rice i:e .,N| Sopqa f',,.a and VS.. Durham IN
these two hayipg b ;bboen summoned
by him to ps3fist 3sAt IL. II thhqq arMSsst-:tc

found the parties named in the

mandea the reading =, Of tho wer
rant Ho then handed it to Mr.
}D)ulrhan to read, and placed himself
near the door, to prevent the escape
;.of the accused parties. Stepping
forward toward DR., Durham, he left
the door exposed, and one of the &C
cused men run out of the house
Mr. Keller followed him, and called
to MIR Durham to seize the one still
in the house. Mr. D. took hold ot
him, when the negro made o Totior
of drawing his pistol, and Mr.. b
released him, The negro then ran q
short distance in front Of Mr.. Jones
firing his pistol as lie yan. As soon
as he firod, Mr.. Roller fired also
The negro continued to run, but in
a few moments, he was hoard groan
ing, and on his being approached, it
was discovered that ho was wounded
under the right shoulder near tho
spine, The wounded man is now in
jail, but tho othcr, party, intended to
be arrested has escaped. The cir
GU instances under which the partic .
wore ordered by Justice Robertson to
bearrcstoa were as follows: Two
colorcd men, called George Brown
and John, Thomas, went to the house
Of Preston Dickson, and demanded
dinner of his wife. She gavc them
dinner, they refused; to pay her us
they had e agreed: ,f'he then asked
them to leave the house, and they
did So. George brown returned,
however, and seeing a.pistol> hanging
on the wall, took it and was about
to leave, when tho woman demanded
that he should give it to her. She
seized hold Of #: him tty his clothing,
and he left the house, dragging her
! after him about fifty yards. Find
ing that she would not release hol
hold, he drew q knife, and threat
ened to.!cut hor heart out, if she
still held him. As ,he. drew his knife
she released her hold, and he mad,
