We ATE doing :1,e printing of tins
parish for Gny cents per square OF one
inch solid BREWER measure, when IS
lust one holf the omo""t charged by
the radical sheets which have been
published in this city since The birth
of the degrading and degraded party
to which they yielded a cnrsh F'aIty'
These newspapers had no rircn'atlon;
and lived only by the monies force"
by villainons laws from the taxpayers
whom they ever ceased to upb'aid
and SANDER.
A republican member of the pres
ent Police Jury. at the time that booty
had under consideration tho estimate
Of expenses of 1879, saw fit to make
his studied and we'll planned attack,
the attack of his party, at their hld'
ding and for their benefit, upon the
V1SplcAron, 'cl,arglng it with draw
ing its pay without authority ana to
the detriment of other and equally
lust creditors of the parish.
The trick of this man was nnreDu'
ked By tho Democratic members, who
knew the charges to be false ana
s1apderous; hence our justification OF
onrself. When the radical members
son was conducting the radical paper
here: when it never had 4 circulation
of a hundred, and was never seen IN
4 decent mans house, and when it was
dragging its one dollar per square from
the people it abused in its columns
and insultcd by its very presence, no
man ever heard this worthy reformer
enter one word against the "Priuters
BILL" and he was then a member OF
the Police Jury as now.
No man hears him to-day say ansht
Of the Sheriff's bill or the Clerks bill
because they are of his political fam
ily; and upon Wednesday last when
a bill was presented by a radical
blacksmith, IA pegro) charging thirty
fee dollars for ironing seren men, he
moued that the bill be approred for one
half and it was voted down, and al
lored for three dollars and fifty CENTS
We like to see men consistent. We
are; for during no hour of our life
have we let up on these fellows who
attempt to play the reform upon the
VNpfcAroR from a motive which we
we'll understand.
IF the parish of Natchitoches is too
poor to pay fifty cents per square fo1
its printing let it post its proceedings
on the Court House door as we have
Informed the Jury it could do, but We
pronounce as false the statement thai
we have been paid one cent in excess
of the price we contracted for, MOI
have We been paid in any other manner
than regularly approred account op
proved by the Claims Commute of ~hie)
this radical is a member, and not tt
the detriment of other creditors eth
er.
IF the radical bnmmers of this par
ish propose to make war on US the!
will find US ready and prepared. Ou'
efforts against them, have never ceas
ed and we will not bo satisfied unit
the last one is driven into that dis
graceful obscurity their infamous con
duct in the past merits them.
Since the above was written, ant
at the Thursday session, Mr.. w. c
Ross, than whom no better man no
Democrat lives, ably and eloquent,
defended the paper and party from
charges made by the radical member
Mr.. Ross speech was one of the bes
efforts we have heard lin Make
Full of bristlipg sarcasm and was
triumphant vindication of this pape
and the party which it represents.
Mr.. Ross presented the fact that tn
V1ND1cAToR had been paid for print
ing from May ISL, to this date nearl
six months, s256,00, while the amour
paid the Republican for the sam
length of time in previous years wa
s64O,47, or more than double til
amount now charged.
We are under the solemn impress
sion that no radical wants to wake Il
Mr.. Ross again.
