Planters have been watching the leaden
skies and floating racks, with elongated Wis
ages and corrugated brows, and croaking for
rain for more than week now. They look
ed for rain when the "moon quartered,' but it
luar.eIed without bringing any rain except
very light mist.
While at this place Mr. S d. Patrick, the
photographer. got Mr.. Lynch to make him a
nice skitf, in which he and his assistant, Mr.
Gwin, sailed down Beuf river yesterday.
They will remain al Alto several days before
proceeding farther down the river. We
recommend Mr.. Patrick to our Alto friends
II seems very singular that men claiming 10
be business men are so slow TO learn the secret
of success in business, when they have the
examples Of such men as A. t. Stewart as
guide posts on the road TO prosperity. His
motto was that if he had but two dollars TO
invest in business, he would invest one OF
them in advertising.
The water is falling here very fast-in fact,
has about disappeared-and if the fall con-
tiEues, trains will commence running next
week, and probably infnse little life into our
dull town. We do not much like the reports
from the river at Memphis and the Missouri.
That rise may check the fall here, though 1t
will not bring the water back on US.
We neglected last week TO correct an error
we made some weeks ago by stating that the
Tom Parker was the first boat TO enter Lake
Lafourche. The Stella Block, we have since
learned, was The first to enter the lake, while
it had for its master that popular old BPuf
river skipper, Captain 7. L. Taylor, now
master Of the Era No. 10. We were misin-
formed-.hat was all.
How often do we see the declaration of our
blessed SAVIOR that "A prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" forcibly Illus
trated in our everyday intercourse with our
felIow-men. A man may gain distinction
and honor abroad, while his neighbor with
whom he has the most intimate daily a>socia-
ton, will regard him as a very ordinary man,
if he does not actually treat him with con-

tempt.

When we commenced publishing an eight
page paper we announced that 1t was an ex>
pertinent, depending entirely upon the en-
couragement II received for success or failure,
and now it is with sincere regret that we
inform you that we have not received suffi-
cient encouragement to justify us in continuing
to publish such large paper, or in devoting
so much tine and labor to an enterprise that
returns no profit even on the cash expended;
in fact, the expenses Of the paper have been
greater than the income ever since we bought
it, Can the citizens Of Richland parish ex-
pect a respectable parish paper to exist under
such circumstances? They must patronize it
or il will statve out-snd we do not call that
patronage which reads but never pays for a
paper. 1t is my purpose, as soon rs our rail-
road transportation is opened, to resume the
publication of eight pages; but l can only
continue TO do 50 short time if it receives
TO more encouragement in the future than it
has in the past.
Every citizen in the parish should d only
take and read but pay for his local paper, and
he who feels no interest in the matter, feels but
little, if any, interest in the general prosperity
of his parish, the education of lis children,
the enlightenment of the people and the
elevation Of the social and moral character of
the community, and cannot possibly be good,
useful and patriotic citizen.
In order that no person may have the
excuse Of financial inability to perform the
patriotic duty Of subscribing for the BEACON,
we make an extraordinary proposition j I an
other column Of ,odays paper, to which We
would most earnestly and respectfully call the
attention of those who feel any interes, what
ever in the prosperity of their parish, and
appeal to them TO put forth little effort in
behalf of the BEACON. We could keep alive
kind of starveIing sheet, whose general
appearance would indicate a niggardly sup
port, but we doa't choose to do so, unless tue
people of the parish, by persisrentiy with
holding their patronage, compel US to adopt
such course.

Is the title OF the successor to the True Re
publican, whose demise was announced in
our last. which made its first appearance May
18th, 1877, with the name Of d. L. Morgan
at its masthead as editor and proprietor, and
J. A. Delaunay as publisher. 1t is very neat
" printed, well filled with good reading mat
ter, both original and selected, and gives
promise oil being quite ably edited. The
editor promises that elimination and recrimi'
nation will be no part Of his work, but that
leaving the things of the past behind, he will
move forward in the discharge OF present
duties of cul,ivating friendly relations between
the races and improving the agricultural in
terests of his parish. He has chosen the
most difficult course to be pursued in Journal
m-conservative-which is generally under
stool to lie right along the narrow line that
divides the two parties, where fellow is
almost sure to be exposed to the fire from both

IT seems to be conceded i'm New Orleans
that Wayne MacXeagh, Of this State, was
the controlling spirit of Mr.. Hayes Louisi-
ana Commission. The best evidence of this
is the fact that Packard and his adherents
assail him as the author of al their woes
From the beginning to the end of the ne
gotiations, he distinctly assured Packard
and his supporters, i'll answer to all their
threatening and buster, that let the con-
clusion of the labors of the commission be
what it might, the withdra wal Of the troops
was foregone conclusion. Mr.. MacVeagh
had the authority Of Hayes himself for ex-
plicirly saying so, and the result was the
complete decentralization of the Packard
Legislature and therefore the downfall of
his bogus government.

Il Matter of Fact.

In a sermon preached in Brooklyn on
Sunday, clergyman named Justus ID.
Fulton read a letter which he said was
from doctor of divinity in Louisiana,
whose name, ''for the doctors own person.
al safety" he did not dare to mention.
THIS letter, says the InteLiigcncer, sets forth
the horrors of the South III the most ap-
palling coiOrS, contains accounts of the
assassination of negroes and white Repub-
licans by the hundreds, and closes as fol-
lows: ''t,od only knows wha. is to become
of us If the Nichols government is recog-
niZed, for there IS firm alliance Of the
Democrats and ROmdnistS 10 clear as aU
0ut" This is most remarkable declara-
tion for one Christian minister to make
and another to give circulation to. The
charges of the hostility of the Democratic
party to the negro, though exploded, are
so often reiterated 10y those who are in a
position to know better, that we might
pardon fanatical preacher for believing
them when his bgotry will not allow him
to inquire into their truth or falsity. But
that the Catholic Church has any purpose
to clear out the negroes or any interest
in SO doing is such an outrageous mIsrep-
resentation that no one in a position to mis-
lead. the public is justified in uttering it.
We have the authority of the secretary Of
the general conference Of the colored
Methodist Church of this country, that the
only two denominations in which the col
ored man is fully made to feel himself tie
equal of his brethren in Christ, are the
Catholic and the Unitarian. The Catholic
treatment of the negro, the energy of that
Church among thIsclass, South, lie kindness
of its treatment Cf them aud the zeal of it's
mission efforts among them is so great that
our informant states that the great body of
/ the freedmen men will be gathered into
the Catholic Church. Some $50, 600 color
ed children in tie South are now being
cared for and educated in Catholic schools
and many of the best girls to Use our
: informant s language, of the Protestant
/ families. schools and churches are attract
/ ed by the superior, advantages OF Catholic
instruction to enter their institutions and
associate themselves with the charitable
orders of that Church. The gorgeousness
of the Catholic ritual, the energy of its
missions, the absence of "a constant demand
upon the negroes for money to carry on,
the Church objects, and the absence of any
color line in its membership, says the au.
thority whom we have quoted, are nflu
ences rapidly drawing the colored people
of the South into the Catholic Church. Ir
this state of things how silly to speak of 2
8 democratic and Roman alliance to clea,
the negroes out ! How much better if The
Rev. Fulton aud his kind would emulat,

A WEEK AGO to-day, it was decided by
MIR. Hayes and his cabinet that the troops,
the only prop of Packard's rapidly dis
solving government, should be Withdrawn
I from New Orleans. On the same day the
Secretary of War issued an order directing
! the Withdrawal to take place on last Tues
day, at 12 O'Clock NJ, and the order was
carried into effect at the hour specified.
No demonstration was made by the peo
ple and perfect quiet and order prevailed
throughout the city. When the decision
of Hayes and his cabinet was flashed over
the wires to New Orleans, Packard and his
followers saw in it the fatal Handwriting
on the wall" and the widest CONSERVATION
prevailed in his Legislature. Gen. McMil-
Ian, one of the a5lest members of the Pack
ard House, stood not on the order of his
leaving. but went tstraightway to the Mich
oils House, and, after making brief con-
ciliatory speech, was sworn I'm as mem
Der. Packard called a caucus Of his Leg
islature the same night and implored its
the fort" His appeal fell upon listless
ears, and on the next Gay Saturday last)
ex-Gov. Yarmouth, the leader of Packard
House, together with more than twenty
other members, nearly ali colored, deserted
the sinking ship aud marched to the Mich
oils Legislature, where they were received
with tumultuous applause. Thus in about
twenty four hours after the action of Mr..
Hayes and his cabinet, Packard 9 Legisla-
ture ceased to exist, and Francis T. Mich
oils became the acknOw ledgcd Governor of
Louisiana, with a Democratic Legislature
The people of South Carolina and Louisia-
ma have now each State government
which VIII command their respect and sup
port. No longer will the blighting effects
OF carper-bag rule impoverish and oppress
them, but under their changed condition
of affairs peace aud prosperity will prevail
throughout their borders. We are willing
to give Mr.. Hayes all the CT edit lie deserves
for his Southern policy, although Mr.. Til
den would have disposed of South Carolina
and Louisiana in less than a week after his
Inauguration. The only wonder is that
under Republican administration the
idea of military rule has been abandoned
at all.
The final settlement Of the Louisiana
question proves one of two things, either
that Hayes was not elected President or
that Packard is deeply injured aud per-
secuted man. 1t never has been and never
can be explained how Hayes was entitled
to the electoral vote Of the State while
Packard, who received several hundred
more votes than Hayes did, was defeated
for Governor, and no human ingenuity can
cut the Gordian knot. The entire course
of the Louisiana Commission in reference
to the pretended claim of Packard not on-
ly discredits the title Of Rutherford B.
Hayes TO the Presidency, but stamps it
with indelible fraud.
