LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS AT no time
in our history as city, has Kenosha
exhibited better signs Of substantial
prosperity than at present. The era Of
feyerish speculation has past, and we
trust also Of commercial inactivity and
depression. Real estate commands a
good price and sales, although not fire.

indication of confidence in property
owners can be given, than the marked
local improvements that are constantly
being made all over the city. For the
coming season we have heard Of a
number Of new buildings which are to
be erected OF are in process Of construc-
ton, and all Of which will be substan-
tial and permanent structures.

ALEXANDRIA,, La
Wednesday, april Is, 1877.

For the sake of the poorest
specimen of humanity we have in
our long experience had to protest
against, we hope and trust that the
cowardly miscreant, disgracing the
cognomen of youthful manhood, who
killed o valuable dog Of ours, on our
own premises and sin the sacred pre-
cincts of our CASTLE" on last Friday
night, has now recovered, that his
puerile venom, dashed with mean
whiskey, and his conscience (?)
do not guide him to hunt a grape
vine for practical purposes. None
on the premises he so ANONYMOUSLY
intruded and sneaked on, with revol-
yer in hand, to commit deed which
would shame a Camanche Indian,
have any but feelings of pity and re-
greet that the great Maker Of man
kind permits such poor and debased
specimen of humanity to crawl on
this earth. And in these sentiments
we are specially joined by the two
gentlemen, on whose premises at the
same moment, this bastard wretch,
attempted, but failed to commit two
more murders on "man's next best
friend after woman"

New ORLEANS,
April 81, 1879
To the Editor of the Democrat:
SIR: Please find space in the
columns ofyour paper to place this
letter before my constituents.
The great fight has eliminated in
the success of Gov. Nichols, and !
have taken my seat in that body by
force of circumstances. But sir if |
had served my God as sincerely as |
have tried to serve my people, |
would be willing to end mys day in
this world.
I have spoken with Gov. Nichols,
and he gives me to understand that
he intends to do right by the colored
people, and give them the same
rights before the law, that is accord
ed to the white man.
He also invited me to call and see
him often, and I believe that he will
protect the black people.
Yours, &C.,
B. DREW,
House of Representatives.

CARE OF THE TEETH.-Desirable
and beautiful as sound teeth are, there
is no part of the bodies of young chill
dren that is so almost universally neg
lected by parents. Scarcely one child
in hundred has regular teeth, and the
proportion Of those that are covered to
a greater or less extent with an un-
pleasant looking coating is equally
great. A very little care on the part
of parents would largely obviate this
difficulty, but the misfortune is that
few parents are willing to exercise
such care. And this is especially the
case in America, where dentistry
thrives more vigorously, perhaps, than
in any other country, and all because
parents are neglectful of their GILL
dren's teeth. The regular daily use Of
the brush, without any other dentifri.e
than pure white CASTLE soap, and tle
removal of misplaced tooth or two
would il most instances not only Civ
pearly whiteness but regularity, botl
combining to greatly enhance beauty
whether in man or woman, and espe
cially woman.

Who is to Foot the Bills !
House of Representatives

The FIVE Commissioners who are now
in New Orleans seeking to patch up a
Legislature for the people of Louisiana
in place of that legally elected last fall
are acting under no authority or re-
cognition of]aw, and no appropria-
ton of money was made by Congress
for any such purpose, directly or indi-
rectly. The Fraudulent President is
wholly responsible for this commission,
such as it is, and it represents nobody
but himself.
These patriots of course expect to
be paid literally for their time and the
expenses attending this service. The
question then comes up naturally,
Who is to foot the bills I Hayes invi-
ted them, and he ought to entertain
his own guests. But if they should
apply to him, he might serve them as
he did the Hayes electors Of Florida
recently, when they asked for pecunia-
~ aid to carry on the quo warranto
suit before the Supreme Court of that
State, by referring them to William E.
Chandler.
At the last session of Congress, John
Sherman contrived to get struggled
into the Sundry Civil bill the follow
ing item j.:
''To pay expenses incurred by the
two voluntary committees in obtain
ing copies of evidence filed before the
Returning Board of Louisiana, which
has been printed by order of the Sem
ate, SO, 400, or so much thereof as may
be necessary"
The fables of Eliza Pinkston and
others, who were coached before Wells
and his confederates for effect on
Northern opinion, were thus charged
to the Treasury, and when the whole
truth comes to be known. it will he
discovered that the VOLUNTARY COM
mittee," of which Sherman was the
head, have all got we'll paid for the
part they played in that disgraceful
drama.
The knowledge of that fact doubt
less induced the illustrious FIVE who are
dickering with Packard to take the
chance of reward. Some Of them are
already familiar with tue back door,
entrances to the Treasury, and the
others will be sure to find any way
which leads to personal proit.-[N. Y.

1t would be awkward and unpleasant

So it is said Wade Hampton was sum-

ty of the building used as State
House in New Orleans, La, and
known as the Mechanics Institute, a
detachment of United States infan.
try. Finding them in that place
have thought proper TO delay a de.
cision of the question Of their reno
val, until I could determine whether
the condition of affairs was such as
to either require or justify continued
military Intervention of the National
Government in the affairs of The
State.
In my opinion there does not now
exist in Louisiana such domestic vi
olence as is contemplated by the Con
stitution as the ground upon which
the military power of the National
Government may be invoked for the
defense of the State. The disputes
which exist as to the right of certain
claimants to the chief executive of.
fee Of that State, are to be settled
and determined not by the executive
of the United States, but by the such
orderly and peaceable methods as
may be provided by the Constitution
and laws of the State.
Having the assurance that no re-
sort to violence is contemplated, but
that on the contrary the disputes in
question are to be settled by peace
full methods under and in accordance
with law. I deem it proper to take
action in accordance with the princi
pies announced when-sI entered upon
the duties of the Presidency. You
are, therefore directed to see that the
proper orders are issued for the re.
moval Of said troops at an early date
from their present position to such
regular barracks in the vicinity as
may be selected for their occupation.

We feel mighty good and happy
that our home affairs are at last all
right, and while we rejoice at all this,
this joy is marred at the fact that
our President stands yet swindled
out of bis Office, and that Mr.. Hayes
is acting President, and we merely
jot these loose lines to put in, that
we are not one of the Democrats or
Louisianains who endorses the senti-
ment, that Hayes would do more for
the South than Tilden would dare do.
From beginning to end we believe il
to be a SANDER and cannot repeat
our convictions too often on this
score.
