Gov. Nichols was visited at the
executive Office by Represents
tive Spiller, of the parish of Liv.
lngston, who came to the city il
the interest of those residents oil
his parish who depend for living
upon numbering; that liz, getting
out logs, wood, cutting shingles,
etc, and rafting. 'n
This class of people, Mr.. Spiller
says, are almost in a destitute con
dition, from the fact that the Uni
ted States authorities some time
ago seized all of their logs, shingles
and wood, and, further, even pre-
vented them from, cutting or ship
ping to this market from the Aluite
river any wood or shingles, even
though they lived and worked
where they hal lived all their lives
and where their ancestors had lived,
never once dreaming, nor is it yet
settled, that the land belongs to the
United. States government.
The seizure, of the logs, shingles
an wood has reduced them to
snch an extremity that Mr.. Spiller
says they have now but u scanty
supply of food left, and none of
them are in a position ia relievs
themselves, consequently. unless
their property is released by the
United States authorities, they will
be compelled to seek bread and
meat here in the city.
The result of the conference was
that Mr.. Spiller was authorized by
Mr.. Wurzburger to say upon his
return that the wood and shingles
could be shipped to this market
without further detention on the
part of the deputy United States
or his Keepers.
In conversation with Demo-
crat reporter, subsequently, Mr..
>piller stated that tho laid fro IL
which this timber is cut belongs to
the succession of the old Honma
estate or claim and not to the Uni
ed States government. He stated
also that he had presented petit
ion to the Governor giving all the
acts, and that will doubtless be |
forwarded to the Secretary of the |
Interior who has not yet, it seems,
passed upon the question of the
ownership of the land.-iN. O.

Dan Rice Coming.


Dan Rice's Great Show and
Trained Animal Exhibition is to
exhibit at Colfax on Wednesday.
December Is. The press speaks in
most favorable terms of this show,
and informs US through the various
Exchanges that Dan Rice has now
with him a most brilliant combina-
hon of remarkable trick horses and
trained animals, together with a
fine company composed of the
champions of the arenic world.
Dan Rice positively announces to
appear in the ring himself, as the
"old times" clown; and this latter
feature alone ought to be worth the
price of admission. ''Old Dan, as
he is Familiarity called, will also ex-
hibit the celebrated old blind
horse, Excelsior" who is now n
years old, and whose marvellous
sagacity has astonished for many
years tie entire universe. This is
undoubtedly one Of the finest cir
cuses in point of real N crit that has
ever been projected, and it is evil
dent that no expense has been
spared to@afe it one of the grand
est entertainments offered to the
public. The price of admission is
as usual; children at half price; so
let us all turn out next Wednesday
and give cold" Colonel Dan Rice a
rousing big reception.

TOMATO CATSUP.-Take bushel of
ripe tomatoes, wash clean, and boil in
a large kettle, with only water enough
to keep them from burning, for one
hour. Rub through a fine sieve to
take out the seeds. To every quart of
juice add one tablespoonful of ground
mustard, one each of ground CHINA
mon, cloves and grated nutmeg, one
tablespoonful of the strongest black
pepper, and three tablespoonful of
fine salt. Boil slowly for two hours;
then to each quart of jnice add a half
pint of pure cider vinegar and boil
half an hour longer. Bottle while hot
and seal up with tallow and rosin mel.
ted together. This catsup will keep
for years, and will not require to be
shaken up before turning from the bot
tie. A porcelain kettle is best for its
manufacture. Onions add to it's flavor
if boiled with the tomatoes at first.

REPUBLICAN DIscoNTENT.-The Re-
publican Convention of Iowa has indi
rectly condemned the President.
The Republican House in the New
Hampshire Legislature has tabled a
resolution approving his course. SEN
ator Conkling, of New York, leaving
for Europe, and all the chief national
officers in the city of New York sur
rounding him, conspicuously and sig
nificantly omitted to speak a word of
sympathy or appreciation. At the
Robson banquet in New Jersey, al
though the President of the United
States was toasted, it was plain enough
from what. was said and what was not
said that the feeling was not friendly.
Messrs. Cameron, father and sou,
Chandler, Butler and Blaine, are
known to disapprove his action. The
Woodstock demonstration is signifi-
cant. The Republican party press, in
large part, deplores the recent order in
regard to the participation of Office
holders in active politics, and appre.
hends consequent loss of the autumn
elections. The signs are unmistakable
of deep and wide dissatisfaction in a
certain part of the Republican party,
and none the less of profound pleasure
and content among other Republicans
and an important element of the Dem
ocratic party. The action of the Iowa
Convention, whatever it may forecast,
can not change the fact that the Presi-
dent adheres verymuch more faithfully
to the platform of the party than that
of the convention itself. The silver
plank of the Iowa platform, involving
a virtual breach OF the public faith, is
repugnant to the traditional tone of
the party, its Southern resolution is
evasive and deceitful, and the silence
of the convention in regard to admin
istrative reform is an abandonment of
the policy which the party loudly pro-
fessed and demanded until President
took it at its word Harper's Weekly.
