THE STATE PRISON INVESTIGA-
TION,

The board of State Prison Commits
sioners met at Virginia City yesterday.
C. E. DeLong counsel for Governor
Bradley proposed to introduce evidence
to prove that Hyman's testimony as to
his dietary regulations was untrue. This
was objected to by majority of the
Board and Mr.. belong submitted the
following IN writing and withdrew
from the case
The Board having refused to allow
the evidence to be given to show that
Dir. Lyman starved the prisoners,
whilst it allowed Hyman to prove what
his die AIRY allowance was. is ruling
wonderfully partial to Hyman, and
evinces so clearly Il determination on
the part Of II majority of the Board to
justify him in his acts, that l feel
called upon to withdraw from the con-
duct of this proceeding. | am wholly
at loss to know why the Board would
allow Hyman to prove what for and
how much ne gave the prisoners and
not allow me to show that his evil
dence was untrue.
Governor Bradley also withdrew,
giving his reasons for doing SO as fol-
lows:
To my fellow-members of the Board
l beg to say that | have asked for
nothing but full, fair and impartial
Investigation. Agreeing with my coun-
sci in his views that this is being de-
MED, | will not be party to n partial
one. | therefore leave you to act as
best may suit you in the premises ad-
herring on my own part to my state
ment that if allowed fair opportunity
/ could prove to the satisfaction OF the
public the truth of all have ever said

A cable special from Paris says the
Republican triumph in the cleo

sanguine expectations. Republican
partisans expect the Republicans with
Constitutionals will command q ua
jority of almost two-thirds of the Low

have beaten. The Republicans tri-
umphed without an exception in the
large cities. Gambetta has carried

For these reasons we present the
name of Lewis Texada today to the
people for the nomination for the
governorstip Of our great State. We
have been modest and backward in
thus doing justice to one of our JIM
mediate neighboss, knowing that his
deserts would attract support from
other Parishes, It is highly graft
flying to US to know that his name is
daily mentioned with great favor in
every Parish from which we have re-
ceived information. Hence we have
great reason to believe that the can
didate of our choice will receive the
nomination when the Convention
meets.

CROSSING the desert is generally
an eventful episode in life; whether
it be as pilgrim to worship the
prophets shrine at Mecca, or as a
part of a caravan of merchants. The
dangers of the destructive simeon,
attacks of predatory robbers and the
agony of dying from thirst are dissi-
pated on reaching one of those gar
dens of the desert, an oasis. Parta-
king of that which recuperates, they
meet their future difficulties with re-
cruited strength and renewed ener-
gies. So with modern life, dangers
from disease threaten all humanity,
but if we make use of a remedy
which alleviates acute attacks of
sickness, thus preventing their be.
coming chronic, we shall realize that
necessary rest and refreshment in
travelling life's desert which has
been discovered in the Home Stom
ach Bitters.

Cotton Manufacturing Industries
COTTON YARN, COTTON SEED OIL, AND
OIL CAKE.

We are pleased to learn the sue
cess attending the efforts of few
persevering men, who in the very
hearing of the cry ''hard times have
succeeded in obtaining considerable
subscriptions to the Capital stock in
raw material, lumber, engine and
boilers, and valuable piece of real
estate, afforling a never failing
spring of pure soft water, with fuel
in abundance, both elements neces
sary to success, with cheap labor,
cheap food, cheap motive power, and
cntton fields at our door, and eli
mate unsurpassed. These elements
of productive power combined, when
developed by intelligent industry,
will add largely to our material wealth
and that prosperity we now stand in
such need of. 1t is proposed to com
mence the construction Of buildings
Immediately for Cotton Yarn Fac
tory and Oil Mill.
Two sets Of "Clement's Attach
ment,' will turn out one thousand
pounds of Yarn per day, which latter
is pronounced superior to any yet
fabricated. This is reasonably &C.
counted for, the Cotton is fresh from
the seed; neither cut, nor mapped,
pressed nor compressed; superseding
by this "new process the Gin, and
the long list of expenses attending a
bale Of cotton, from the moment it
leaves the field, until its arrival in
New, or Old England; and also su.
perseding four-fifths Of the olden
time machinery operations and mo.
tive power.
The advantages for an Oil Mill
are only too apparent, with the raw
material at hand, with an alluvial
valley, that half century of annual
cultivation has not diminished in
product, needs but the exercise Of
intelligent minds to place before the
Capitalists abroad, the superior ad.
vantages, in soil, climate and re-
sources, which our unsurpassed allu.
vial afford.
The Executive Committee of the
Board of Directors, all accomplished
business men, cotton planters an6
landed proprietors, are so fully i'm
pressed with the Importance of thes,
industries, that they will cause a Wig
orous growth and permanent forma
tion, vitality important to our produ
GERS, to whom We commend prais
worthy home industries.
i Books for subscriptions to the cap
ital stock, will be opened in Alexan
dria, Natchitoches and New Orleans

facing Levin's invitation to capture
his frozen Soda Fountain. The
"Boys" obeyed orders, charged in
compact order and victory, under
Levin's roof was theirs! They were
soon re- formed, thrown out as Skin

Generals in command, Goodman and
Hess, were prepared to surrender
without opposition.

y
ed Democrat of the Jefferson and
Jackson school, no man is more libe-
raj in his sentiments, or more tole-
rant of the opinions of others. Re-
cognizing the fact that the Conserva-
tive party Of Louisiana is to-day CON-
posed of old Democrats, old Wings,
Americans and Republicans, white
and black, he believes in making the
Democratic Conservative platfosm SO
broad and comprehensive, so liberal
and tolerant, as to enable every man
opposed to Radicalism, and in favor
of governmental reform, to stand
square upon it, and to support its
candidates without hesitation, or a
sacrifice of principle. He believes
the aid of all Conservatives will be
needed to secure success, and, so far
from driving off any from the sup
port ofour candidates, he would draw
with all the arts of persuasion, those
who doubt or hesitate, within the
folds of a liberal Democratic Conser
vative party. No man need fear to
lend him his support. No man need
fear that the equal rights of all, no
matter what may have been his pre-
vious condition or past party affilia-
tons, would be safe under his adj
