From all the sugar raising
districts Of the State we have re ports
of good crops and dry weather. A
modicum of rain is badly needed.
Ev RiehIaM Beacon The weather
still remains remarkably pleasant
neither too warm or too coid-and
health is good. Nearly every one is
through picking cotton and the staple
is moving rapidly.
w Delta Sentinel: Aaron Hop
kins attempted to shoot William VIII.
DEPUTY Sheriff CruZan, in arresting
him came very near being shot, the
ball passing between his left tliumb
and forefinger, burning and bruising
them. Hopkins was lodged in Jail.
eF Rapides Gazette: Jerry Frazer,
% hand ON Wash Comptou's place, WAS
found dead in the woods, near Bayon
Rapides. Jerry has SO often figured
prominently i'll hog, sheep and turkey
stealing eases, that people lost conf
dence in him altogether. Rumor says
that he at last came to an untimely
end while playing the role of i" Tom,
the piper's son.
B Clinton Pat. Dem: Mr.. John
II. Blunt. Democratic nominee for
Sheriff of st. Helena, died at his resi-
dence in Greensbnrg, of congestion of

Messrs. A. C. Griffith. John j. Ligon,
A. Frank and Mr. A. Landeau, the
two former residing near the plains,
East Baton Rouge, and the two latter
residents of this parish, lost their
lives by the burning of the illtated
Southern Belle.
IL St. John MesckaceJe Sugar
rolling is progressing with satisfactory
results, the average yield being one
hogshead to the arnent. The wages
paid to laborers are the same as last
year, 81 day and IS cents for the
night watch. Nearly all the ponds
are dry, in consequence of the long
protracted drouth. This is a great
drawback, as pIanters have to procure
their supply of water from the river
at large expense.
LY Lafourche Union: From all
directions we have the most cheering
reports from the yield of sugar made
by our planters. Most of the plant
.ers are now rolling, and the cane
improving every day. Some of the
planters are making one hogsllead to
the acre, while we are happy to know
that many of them are making one
hogshead and half from the plant
cane. This is considered good yield
in the start. We wish them all sue
cess.

THE CENTENNIAL ELECTION DAY.
BY EMERSON BENTLEY.

The voter, governed by all the in
telligent influences prevailing in this
centennial year, will go to the polls
next Tuesday and deposit ballot.
There will be few who will not feel the
weight of the still, small voice for or
against the general welfare of the
nation. Issues were never more
sharply drawn than during the pres
ent campaign between the spirit of
progress and of retrogression, honesty
aud hypocrisy, truth aud falsehood,
loyalty and disloyalty. Let there be
no mistake about it. Every registered
voter should speak ont. The friends
of free government require every boil
lot il the box. The Democratic par
ty must not only be defeated, but
decisively defeated, by heavy MAORI
ties. The Bourbon hope must be
uipped in the bud.
Go to the poll early, and deposit
Que vote for every respectable candi
date upon the Republican ticket, then
return to your home, and inquire
about your neighbors. If there be
cripples OF aged men who can not
walk, provide them convesances; al
low no vote to be lost through lack
of neighborly interest on your part.
But through all the day allow no al
coholic drink to pass your lips, to
steal away your better faculties, and
arouse your baser self. Prepare your
self as for solemn occasion allow no
angry word to pass the lip, or deadly
weapon to tempt you in passionate
moment. Republicans do not make
good material for mobs; they gener-
ally come out second best.
When the san sets next Tuesday
night the decision rendered will 90
upon record past all recall. We shall
soon know whether the war was
failure or IL success; whether loyalty
is a questionable or positive virtue of
the citizen; whether the present ia
tional sutferage laws shall fail through
enforcement by the several States,
or be vindicated by national autllori-
ty; .wIsether the-shallow CRY Of !" re-
form shall blind the main issues or
be viewed as a treasOnahle mask of Il
foe. We are encouraged by
the preliminary skilmisles on the eve
of the great struggle, but we will not
rest until our whole duty is performed,
and the telegraph with It's electric
flashes conveys the news to every
tireside in the land. When it shall
be announced that rutherford b.
Hayes, the soldier Governor, has fair
ly defeated Samuel j. Tilden, the man
who never sympatllized, fought or
bled for his country i'll the hour of
trial, we shall give expression to an
joy. But until the glad
tiaings shall come, no voter should
shirk, sleep, or slip away, from the
obligation resting upon HIM to cast
Dne ballot Ton the cause of universal
liberty and a dignifed American citi-

BcndholderA

To-day being the day set by the Dis
trict Court to hear the mandamus case
instituted by the bondholders to compel
the Treasurer OF Lincoln County 10
transfer all money in the General County
Fund to the Interest Fund, We thought
that little information to the public on
that arrangement would not be amiss.
The General County Fund is the main
source from which the parties who
supply the County are paid, so that a
transfer of the money from this fund
cuts off supplies; besides from the Gen.
eral County fund all floating indebted.
ness has to be liquidated, the official
fees, county Jail. courts and everything
else with the exception of special funds,
all are paid out Of this fund. II this
case goes against the Treasurer and this
money is taken out of the fund it will
take until July to swell the fund suffi.
cisnt to pay the interest of 1875 and the
Treasurer would be justified in taking
all money coming into this fund after
July and placing it in the Interest Fund
of 1876, which will leave all claims
against the General County Fund unpaid
until further legislation gives relief.
There will be general stoppage as far
as supplying anything more to the
County. as people do not intend waiting
until 1877 to gst paid for what they
supply now, or elss sell their scrip for
Ave cents on the dollar.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-The times which
yesterday in financial article rejected.
Senator Shermsn's proposition Looking
to common unit for money and &C.
counts for the United States and Great
Britain, to-day editorially approves the
measure. 1t says America in returning
to specie payments will almost enter
upon new phase Of monetary develop
ment; therefore the change in the Amer
lean standard OF value will involve no
serious shock to social and commercial
arrangements such as would ensue upon
the alteration in the value of the Bri.
fish sovereign. The proposition opens
no less prospect than the establish
ment Of a common monetary system for
all English speaking people, who. by the
end of this century will probably rule or
influence the people Of greater part of
the earth's surface and monopolise even
larger share Of its commerce.

western ring, but there are good many
here who say that sort OF talk is all
stuff. It is moreover asserted that the
presence of government officials here
now is but the prelude TO the opening in
New Orleans of q campaign against

the air in few days. Several parties

SALT LAKE STAGE.-The Salt Lake
stage arrived yesterday morning at 81
o'clock, the messenger reporting as
follows; That they left Sulphur Springs
station at eleven o'clock on Thursday
morning, and just as they we're leaving
that station Idaho Bill and AL. VIM
rode up on their horses on the way to
Beaver, Utah. The messenger failed to
learn anything from them. The stage
arrived at the Desert Springs station Ia
evening OF II O'Clock. The cook with
his family was there and was only wait
ing for the return Of Ben Bowen, to quit
his job and seek healthier scenes OF ex-
element in the way of preparing hash
for the public without being persuaded
by the gentle influence of six shooter
cooked at his head. As far as he him
self ia concerned this would have made
no difference but he has family to raise
and be wishes to superintend that job
himself and does not wish to leave any
widow for that purpose. All was quiet
at Desert Springs station when the
stage left there at II o'clock at night,
u
windows destroyed, bottles, glasses and
all the bar fixtures scattered around
loose in the front part OF the house. A
free trent and fres use of everything
the house contained was in order during
the stay of Idaho Bill and Al. VIM.
When Bowen arrives at home he will
find considerable trouble in setting his
household goods in order.
YOUNG MEMS SocIAL.-The soiree OF
this club came of last night at Browns
Hall. As usual, the club was in good
luck, for the weather that had been
stormy and hlustery all day cleared off
towards 4 O'Clock, leaving the evening
pleasant, SO that there was no trouble
going to the hall. The hall was we'll
filled and the dances were enjoyed by all
present. Many OF our prominent citi-
Gems are members of this club and the
guests to whom they extend invitations
are always pleased to receive them aud
never fail to be on hand. Dancing was
Kept up until the small hours of the
morning.
JUSTICE CouRr.-Casper D. Langton
yesterday appeared in the Justice Court
before Justice Allen and preferred a
charge against Geo. A. Davis for assault
and battery with intent to commit
murder. The hearing will be had in
few days. Langton' was the party that
was shot at Cooks stable some time
since on which charge Geo. Davis was
arrested and confined in the County
Jail. Langton has been in the hospital
ever since and is just recovering The
charges will be ventilated in the Justice
Court, so of course we do not wish to
say anything in regard to them.
SNow.-The snow kept falling through

o'clock at which time it ceased to snow
and blow. Enough snow had however

CHICAGO, Jan. 81. A Washington
special says among the points brought to
the attention OF the Sub. Com mittee on
Postal Affairs. is the dubious practice,
running back about seven years, Of per-
hitting mail agents to draw salary from
the Government and charge travelling ex.
penses when they had not raised their
hands in the public services outside Of
their Offices. The salaries OF agents Of
tbs department range from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. Besides this they are al
lowed under the law Ave dollars per
diem when en- route. It Ia found.
however, that in the faos OF the
law, BILLS for travelling expenses
are regularly allowed men who
never stir from desks in Washington.
When cases Of this sort reach up into the
hundreds, - the records show thAy do.
tho lon to the Government can be esti.
mated. Postmaster Jewell admits the
practice, and admits that an opinion OF
shs Attorney General forbids it, bat be
felt constrained TO continue it because il
has been enstaiued by his predecessors.
