To the Editor of the Chronicle:
The Baton Rouge incubations
is over, and the city and country
is jubilant. That the selections
are wise and consistent, there can
be no doubt-that it is a strong
one is equally patent. The cam
paign will now open in earnest,
and the contending parties are
marshaling their forces for the
coming contest. That it will be
fierce and perhaps bitter, is equally
certain. Each party conceives
that the State is large, and worth
contending for. 1t is much to be
hoped that becoming spirit of
forbearance will be exercised, and
that shot-guns and bloody shirts
will have no part in this election.
The country wants peace and a
good government, properly admin
istered, no matter by whom, it
would give satisfaction.
Not feeling political to-day, we
will not trouble the readers of the
CHRONICLE with our musing, but
leave it for future use. We are q
little too far from homo to talk
much, and think we could make a
betteg ssst on our own dung-hilf;
at.least we will have our say.
The Centennial goes on bravely,
and the people of the South show
that they are reconstructed by the
intererest they take in the exhibit
ton.
The Democratic Ratification
meeting takes place on Saturday
next, when there will be a good
time.
I called on 1t. Gov. Antoine,
found him quite pleasant and
agreeable, with more than ordi-
nary frmness, and was well pleas
ed with him. l am indebted to
many friends for courtesies, and
to none more than Col. Smith OF
the Shreveport Times, and Col.
Wood, also of Shreveport. Marshal
Packard is a very pleasant gen.
tleman, and has shown me many
courtesies, for which ! am obliged.
Yours, j.

Editor CHRONICLE
Thinking you would like to hear
from this section of country, l
have taken upon myself the liberty
of addressing you short commu-
nication, having seen, for the first
time, a copy of Jour neat little
paper, at the residence of a friend,
yesterday.
Crops here are sadly in need of
rain, which has not fallen in this
neighborhood, to do any good, since
the 9th of May; consequently, the
corn is complete failure; cotton
small and in everyway backward;
cane good, as to stand and culture,
but small and suffering greatly
now for rain. In fact, things look
gloomy here for the coming fall.
Nearly all farmers and planters
have attempted to raise their own
meat; and in this, too, they failed
here, owing to the prevalence OF
hog cholera, which has destroyed
hundreds of hogs, some of them
of improved breeds, selected from
the best Chesters, Poland Chinas,
and Berkshires.
1 had thirty-one head, and have
lost twenty-three out of that mum.

Baton Rouge, July 27.--The en-
thusiasm here is unbounded; the
Convention wild with delight over
the nominations. The streets are
.thronged with people, cheering

erywhere, and cannon firing in

Everybody is delighted and
satisfied that this ticket-Nichols

cry parish in the State. and be

The scene in the Convention, as

This morning Randall Gibson
was renominated for Congress in
the First District.
Austin withdrew in favor of E.
John Ellis in the Second, who was
therefore nominated by acclama-
ton.

Editor CHRONICLE:
I am not a subscriber to your
paper, but have seen a couple of
copies of it, and I believe you are
taking the proper stand in pub
fishing an Independent newspaper,
owing no allegiance to any politi-
cal party. I have not the pleasure
of personal acquaintance with
you, but myself and several Of my
neighbors endorse you, and we will
get up tolerably large club for
the CHRONICLE ere long, as we deem
it worthy of a good support. We
all think, however, that you have
been rather liberal to certain cor
respondents, in publishing their'
several communications and dis
cussions, to the exclusion of other
matter of interest. Politics are
not what we want now. We are
quiet and peaceful people, and
want only what is guaranteed us
by the laws of the land, and to use
our right of suffrage as we please.
but in peaceable and orderly way.
Your paper is medium that
will do great deal of good for
this parish, and will show to the
whole country that the citizens of
this parish are not lot Of sava-
ges; but an industrious people,
who are always more than pleased
to see good class Of people COM
ing and making their abode with
us. Hoping you will succeed to

Politics are dead here, or, per-
haps, only asleep; and I think, for
the welfare of the agricultural In
terests it would be well to let them
sleep on. I have no doubt that in
due time, however, they will be
aroused, independent of agricul-

lam, indeed, really glad to see
that the famous town of Colfax is
on the road to improvement. Isee
by the advertisements in the
CHRONICLE that you have a lot of
new stores, a carpenters shop, a
blacksmith's shop, ETC., etc. Don't
you now need a church and an I'M
dertaker; or do your folks pray in
the courthouse, and bury without
boxes, a la riot?
Colfax certainly has a terrible
reputation, and the CHRONICLE will
have to labor earnestly to set her

it is held in the estimation of peo-
pie here, I will repeat what I heard

one proposed to the other to move
to Grant. His reply was, 'If I
owned, as Calhoun does, Colfax

bright future before them. Since
we have been living in this town
we have not seen even q little
fuss, growing out of drunkenness
or anything else; and we have
heard of four or five "killing
scrapes" taking place in Rapides
and VIM, which were charged at
the time to Grant. We can say,
and in truth, that a more law
abiding class of citizens, than
Grant has, do not grace any other
parish in this State.-Ep.1
