junction.
District Judgeand District Attorney
elect Marks and Ealhart received
their commissions from the Governor
last Saturday, we believe, and have
assumed the functions and duties of
their respective offices. Mr.. Ealhart,
who was in town on "Wednesday, was
presented to the Parish Court by
Fred. Duffel, Esq. and after exhioit
ing his commission, fled the usual
oath of office.
1t was well known that Judge Flagg
had procured from onr Parish Court
an injunction intended to restrain
Hon. Morris Marks from exercisina the
functions of District Judge nntiIt The

Judge MARKS evaded service of the pa
pers, however, aud went to st. James
early Monday morning, where at 10 A.
NJ, he assembled the bench and opened
District Court, having previously
qualified before Que of the Judges of the
Supreme Court, in New Orleans.
Whea Judge Flagg reached the St
James Cour House Monday noon, he
found his newly elected opponent in
full possession, and his surprise aud
chagrin are described as having been
plainly portrayed in his solemn coun
Flagg will press his suit of contest,
but his injunction scheme being check
mated, Judge Marks has gained the
vantage ground of possession, which
is said to constitute "nine points of
the law" This leaves Judge Flagg
with but Que point, and if we are to
believe the confident opinions of
Judge Marks and his friends, this is
very slippery aud uncertain one, III
deed.
Judge Marks will open District
Court here on Monday, but it is prob
able an immediate adjournment until
after the holidays will be ordered.

The farmers along the Platte river
are having extraordinary good luck
In fishing this year. The river
abounds in larger quantities than has
been known for years,--probably ow-
ing to the high water. On last Sat.
urday morning Joseph Lanning
caught lO4 cat fish in his trap, at one
time, about two days setting Of the
trap. The Monday evening previous
he in company with neighbor took
out seyenty-one cat fish, and four
turtles. And as a continuation OF
his good fortune, on Saturday even.
ing his wifo presented him with a
fine daughter, which he considers
ahead of all the fishl
Most all Of his neighbors have had
equally good luck in the fish line.
Mr.. Ewing, on the Fourth, caught In
his trap, morning and evening. one
hundred and thirty-one cat fish. All
these fish average from Ave to twenty
inches in length, aud are splendid
eating. They are SO abundant, that
they arc distributed gratuitously
among the neighbors. Who now,
win remember "the poor printer"

JULY IL, 1876.
On Saturday, the 18th, one might
have seen the husbandman, the ma
tron, and the maid, vending their
way In the direction Of Liggctt
school house They seemed TO come
from oil directions some on horse
back carrying baskets and buckets {;
others in wagons; soihe on foot car
rying well filled baskets.
A person not acquainted with the
county would have thought there
was some great market to be supplied
out In the bluffs" But if you had
accosted a granger one that is wide
awake. 10 difference where he came
from, north or south, east or west, he
would have said, the grangers are
going TO have "harvcst FEAST At

Sure enough, there was q grand
feast. Tie tables fairly groaned under
their load of viands. 1t would be
useless for me to try to describe the
different varieties that went to make
up the table. There were all the va.
rieties Of cake that / have ever heard
OF, but "poor cake" That we don't
have at the grangcrs feast. There
was the old Standby, the Pound
cake, Sponge cake, Gold cake, Silver
cake, White cake. Fruit cake. and the
celebrated "Junnic cake" Pies Of
all varieties made Oft first fruits Of
the season.
No one would expect n feast com.
plete without the "yaller" legged
chicken which we had, from the old
fellow that awakcs us up IN the
morning down to the one that could
hardly "squack."
1t is needless to say that all enjoyed
the OCCASION hugely, for if a granger
can't enjoy square meal, you
need not look any farther, unless it
is at the printing Office. have
heard that printers can make "half
NOON III PIC every time; ifso, they
would make good grangers.
The feast being over, the mothers
selected different varieties for the
young gramgers at home, who arc
practicing every day to ride the
goat and long for the day when
they will he allowed to try their
skill at handling old "chap." They
seem to like every thing but the
branding iron, which they will not
m'nd much if they will practice a
little at times, 10y having the iron
hot and touching lightly at first, till
they get use to it.
Political prospects bright in the
Bluffs. Those who don't vote for

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.

An Effort to raise Il at Oronogo. Jasper
county, Mo.-Armed Union Men Cow
pei tie Rebels 10 abandon their Pnr.
pose.
ORoNoGo. Jasper County. Mo. July
6th.-'rhis place, In common with
the rest Of the country, appropriately
celebrated the Centennial Fourth. and
every thing would have passed of quiz
etly and pleasantly had not the old rebel
spirit ofDemocracy asserted itself, and
came very near changing q peaceful
celebration into bloody riot. A few
Northern Coppcrheads. Arkansas and
Missouri rebels, met together, proclaim
ed that they would not celebrate under
the BLACK Republican Rag" Gas the cx-
pressed it,) and painted flag and made
arrangements TO march through the town
singing Dixie, and then raise it in con-
spiCuous place.
This was at first thought lightly Of by
the Union men of the place, they not
dreaming that any one would attempt so
foolish and wicked thing in Missouri.
until the flag was completed and the
party had met in a business house pre-
paratory to marching out.
Then the Union spirit Of the people
was fully aroused, and after remon-
STRANGE and argument failed, being met
with the threut that whoever interfered
with the rebel programme must take tho
consequences, the Union people armed
themselves with pistols, rifles, &c. and
gave the rebels to fully understand that
the first man who attempted to hoist the
rebel flag on the soil of Missouri would
be shot down. 1t was only by such
determined course that this outrags was
prevented.
Pleading and remonstrance did no
good, and only the preponderance OF
numbers saved this place frvm outrage
and bloodshed. For il these rebels had
persisted in their project the streets Of
this place would have been dyed with
blood.
A few war democrats from the East
who have settled in this county joined
in with the Republicans and asserted
that if this was Democracy they would
have none of it and were ready to assist
in preventing the outrage Of unfurlding
again tho rebel flag upon the soil oil
Missouri.
To those in the East and the quiet
citizens OF st. Louis who believe that
the rebel spirit Is dead In Missouri, 1
would ask them to travel through some
parts of Missouri aud they will be fully
satisfied of their error. Il shows itself
wherever there is prospect Of succcss
to the Democrats, and u only
needs National victory to that party
TO cause 1t to run wild.

Those who claim that he Is unassailable

they are quite as dishonest as he Is. He

been afflicted for long term Of years,

Tilden should unfortunately receive the
nomination. Hayes would beat him In

in Indiana he would be beaten from TO-
