HONEST OPINION.
MR.. II. r. STEVENS


DEAR SIR-This is TO show that my son
Scrofula, winch came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg W as
swelled more than twice its natural size.
He had several doctors OF high standing in
their profeSsion-two from Baston and
three from Charlestown- without getting a
bit better. He was Obliged to lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told to try
vegetine, the great blood remedy; and he
had taken IL but q short time before we
bad that We had 10 change the cloths four
or nve times day. Still, he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himself q little. He was soon able ,<,
cit up In bed, and, by cen stant use OF Veo,s-
tine, IT has cured him. lie has a lame Leo.
which he will probably have for life: bnr
we all honestly believe IL we had usesi
vegetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. IL would have saved the use
of his leg. and restored IL TO natural health.
hope all those troubled with Scrofula
will read this testimony ofme and INV son,
who Is now " ell and able to speak for HIM.

A HEKo.-A few days since young
man named Bergenthal, merchant OF
Powhatan Point, Ohio, was the hero OF a
noble deed, which deserves public recog-
milton. Bergenthal, in company with
two boys. one q nephew from Chicago,
aged sboat seven years, started in sail
boat for an hours pleasure on the Ohio.
Shortly after starting the party was
hailed by practicng physician to con-
vey him from Powhatan to the opposite
side of the river. On the way across the
river the doctor became so enamored of
the sail that he urged q further trip before
debarking. Soon after, a sudden gust OF
wind capsized the boat, and the four oc-
cupants were thrown into the river.
One of the boys succeeding in Selling
the sail boat, but the nephew,
the doctor and our hero were
left to struggle with the wild waves.
Neither the boy nor the follower of
Esculp!ous could swim, and our hero in
sisted on the drowning pair seizing hold
OF him. Keeping the boy afloat with his
hand, Bergenthal directed the doctor: who
was quite large man, to take hold Of
his legs aud succeeded in keeping both
the boy and doctor afioat for some TWEEN
ty minutes, when persons from the shore
went out in skiff and rescued them.

The NEW CHURcH.-As will appear
by an advertisement IN the proper
column, celebrated Swedenborgian
divine, the Rev. A. .. Brickmsn, of Bal
timore, will deliver lecture at the court
house this evening. The title of the gen.
tleman's lecture, where have our child
rem and forefathers gone2' is attractive,
and very naturally fraught with much
interest, so much indeed that we predict
the assembling of a large and curious audi
ence to night who will eagerly listen to the
words of knowledge which the learned
theologian may impart. Swedenborg's,
or tho New Church, doctrine, as it is now
more frequently termed, is probably little
understood and less read outside of that
society" and as a sequence, many er'
rors and erroneous impressions exist
among quite NUMBER of people. To
understand the doctrine of this sect in
diligently, and be greatly entertained
by an eloquent and industrious talk fol
an hour or so, we suggest visit to the
Court House tonight.
Mr.. Brickman is a native OF Prussia

many other prominent Germans, who
were prominently identified ON the un'

THE CAMPAIGN.

Never did the people OF Louis
lana have more important questions to
determine than those which arise in
connection with the present canvass.
They have not only their own redemp-
ton to achieve, but have to aid their
brethren OF the other States In the
achievement Of that larger redemption
which pertains to the Federal Admins
tration. As to the ends which it is de-
sirable to attain there can be no dispute,
but there may be some disagreement ~
to the best means Of securing them.
Both the National and State plat
forms, which we accept as the new
testament of our political reconstruc-
ton, should be followed to the very
letter The rights they recognize should
be held as sacred; the wrongs they de-
nounce should be treasured up, but as a
spur to well-doing rather than as a
stimulant to vengeance. No effort
should be spared to make assurance OF
success so assured that even the most
INSCRIPTIONS Returning Board would
not dare to question it. This Is impor-
tant, so far as our State issues are con-
cerned. but it is even more important
when viewed from the standpoint OF our
Federal relations. .H ~. .ff
Let us imagine for moment that the
election of Tilden depended upon the
vote Of Louisiana, and that our triumph
in this State was not 30 complete as to
silence the bloody-shirt clamors OF the
opposition. What then might be ex-
pected Why-that the vote OF Louis
lana would be counted out. Here then
would be presented question which
might and probably would precipitate
the country into another internecine
conflict. af f2rg 81 0
Though We may assume, In such an
issue, that right would triumph in the
end, yet the consequences could not be
other than deplorable. 1t Is therefore
wise that those who are acting undel
the Democratic banner In the forthcom
Ing struggle should proceed with such
firm and considerate caution as woulo
disarm opposition and give fraud nc
footing to stand upon. 9' - .tss
We must struggle for victory which
can neither be questioned not over

THE PARISH CONVENTION,

Under the regulations adopted by the
Parish Committee, the revision Of the
registration In the several wards Of the
parish begins tomorrow. Much dissst-
isfaction With the committee has been
expressed; but a. 1t ID the only authora-
tative body that can take action In this
matter, wisdom dictates that all good
men accept the situation, register them
selves voters. and exert their influence
to control the election Of delegates to
the Parish Convention In the public in
terest. III M s+5I rnsa
The objections to the Parish Commit
tee may or may not be well founded !;
but 1t seems to us that until that body
displays purpose to prevent q full and
fair election OF delegates to the conven-
ton, or to control the elections In the
interests of particular candidates, our
best policy is to go along with it, work
ing under its, authority, and elect a
first-class Parish Convention
We do not regard the Parish Com
miStee as thoroughly representative
body; but 1t was elected at popular
election in the usual way, and we sin
cerely think that until some specific
charge can be made against it, OF
until 1t Is manifest that 1t is
the willing tool Of particular indi-
viduals or particular faction, the true
plan is, to work out the aims Of the
good men Of the parish under its
authority. SO far we have seen
nothing in the action OF the
Committee to complain Of. The regn'
lations it has adopted for revision Of
the registration are excellent, and, We
understand. 1t will call the con
vention in September. This il
pretty much ali the committee can dc
just now, and II it acts fairly In these
matters, we see nothing to be gained BY
warning upon 1t. The moment It dis
plays porpose to control things In In
dividual interests, we shall join in de
nunoiation OF it. Just now, the men Il
be held to their duty are those who b.

ton. and who yet hesitate to take al
active interest and part In the matter

Grand Ratification MASS Meeting nj
ThlbOdaux, La.

On the arrival OF the train, on Satur-
day. at Lafourche Crossing, our candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor. Hon.
Louis A. Wilt, in company with Hon.
II. N. Ogden. Senator james B. Eustls
and Hon. B. +. Jonas, were received by
a committee Of citizens, who In grand

whole party, headed by Gen. Francis L.
Nichols and Hon. Louis A. Wiltz. pro-
ceeded, amid the booming OF artillery
and the inspiring music Of brass band,
to the place of meeting, in front Of the
Courthouse.
There in the immense audience assem-
bled large number OF colored people
we're noticeable, who lent marked atten-
tion to the speakers, and frequently
gave vent to their approving feelings In
loud cheering and applause.
Gen, Nichols, being ION his native
heath" spoke very briefly, and intro
duced Hon. Louis A. Wiltz, who adj
dressed the assemblage In his best style,
repeating the assurances OF his earnest
Intentions In the cause OF reform, anu III
the absolute recognition Of the rights OF
all men, irrespective of race, color or
previous condition. Mr.. Wiltz' s recep-
tion was eminentiy calculated to en-
courage him in his arduous labors in
the CANVASS.
Col. Louis Bush next addressed the
Assem- blage In the French language with
very marked effect.
Hon. H. N. Ogden and b. F. Jonas
followed, each in his happiest style, and
elected the frequent applause OF their
hearers.
Hon. James B. Eustis. In Q classical
and mastery manner, held his au,,
dience spell-bound throughout, and
when he came to speak OF the events OF
the 4th OF January, 1875, as enacted In
the House OF Representatives under the
| leadership Of Louis A. Witt, he drew
picture OF such splendid oratory that
the vast audience broke out in sponta-
neous shouts Of admiration, well worthy
of the heroic actions so grandly, graph
| ically v and truthfully told. Senator Eustis
| ended with an eloquent appeal TO the
colored people.
Hon, Louis A. Wiltz and the other
gentlemen from our city returned yes
terday, highly pleased at the enthu..
| siasm they witnessed in Thibodaux, and
at the very handsome hospitality ex-
| tended to them by the citizens OF that
place.
