quired an anxious Democrat to a political |
crony yesterday. "Oh,D replied the other,
che is only using them as bssting thread;
all this work will come ont when the thing |
is properly sewed up" "Oh, soc, ;" said the |
first, .''black basting thread for white work |
Well, suppose it is as good as any, and |
easier to pull out"
The local Democracy think that develop
ments do not develop as they would like,
and as their wise men promised.
Doubt and anxiety are fpringing up in
the Democratic mind all over the State;
doubt of the virtues of bulldOzing, and
anxiety for the consequences. Ia the bull
dozed parish of Morehouse, according to
the Nichols organ (Bastrop Clarioi,), the
utmost distress prevails. A government
won by fraud presents no attractions to
capital, which exacts legal protection as a
prerequisite to investment. With anarchy
resulting from a shotgun campaign, and
only courts aud parish officers bearing COM
missions of usurping Governor, no "ad
vances can be procured from the mer-
chants, and the result is absolute want" The
closing paragraph is virtually direct sp.
peal to the President to terminate existing
chaos by recognizing Governor Packard;
In the name of God, then, let Governor
Nichols do something that will secure a
speedy recognition of his government, and
settle forever in some way this distressing
uncertainty. The entire people of the State
are anxious to know at once the best or the
i0orst Governor Nichols may have lights
before him which we know nothing of, and
his policy may be for the best, but one thing
ia certain, and that is the people are becoming
tired OF this lasting uncertainty, the osuses
l OF which they can not fathom. The Gov
, ernor should act at once in some decisive
manner.
Evidently if Nichols should resign his
i claims, the Democracy of Morehouse would
:. be resigned also.
9 The refOrmers of the Nichols caucus have
created a score of new offices and abolished
none. "By their works shall ye know them"
Since the editor of the Baton Rouge I'D
s voeate has gotten over his fright at the "Im-
It proved Order of Red Mems" totherwise
y bulldozersl secret threats, he again WAKES
It valiant-toward the far away officers of the

Q The time has passed for compromising
It nonsense. The time has come for every
\. man to "trust in God and keep his powder
dry" for there will no doubt be use fol
'e both in a short while if Hayes dares make
r an effort to recognize Packard.
The true instincts of the animal, though
show forth in the suggestion to Genera
Nichols to kick out of his office "Bil
IA Wheeler" if he should dare head commits
e. sion from the President to Louisiana.
