REV. J. r. RILEY.


Poor human nature hereabouts,
like Japhet in search of father, is
boxing around the circle political
and heaving up curses at two forty
rate, and finds some trouble in keep
ing abreast Of the new breezes, which
every rise or fall in its barometer
indicates. Their huge cards of good
standing and faithful labor in the
good old anti radical party, and their
private lettres de cochet seem to be
directed to the wrong man, and their
woes unnumbered are just now
crushing them under the uncertain
visitation and situation. In their
troubles we sincerely .sympathize
with them, and can only recommend
them to tear up all the documents,
make new working resolves and be-
come producers, instead of office
seekers. Thus good outcome and
an honest living await them, and this
will more than compensate them for
past political promises and expecta-
tions.

zen gives up to the State a certain

zen gives up to the State q certain
portion of his individual freedom and
pays to it a specified amount of his
property in return for its protection
of his life and property, and when
the State or the law, which is the re-
presentation of its Sovereignty, fails
to afford the necessary protection,
the citizen in his individual capacity
mast protect himself. The lesson
just given ought to be salutary one
to evil doors and will doubtless have
the effect of stopping crime which
seemed to be alarmingly on the in
crease. Our Jail is now full of Grim
inals as shown by the jailer's fees
amounting to 1929 for last month,
and two more we're brought in, we
are informed on the night Cage was
taken out.
Happily there can be no pretext
that politics had anything to do with
this. Maj. Watts is no politician,
never ran for any Office and took only
the interest that every good citizen
takes in the welfare of the, country.
Cage was q white man, and if he
had had anything to do with politics
he had probably been a Democrat.
The remedy was severe and ter
rible one, but the body polite of our
Parish was dangerous and deeper
ate one and required the use Of a
powerful medicine. Let US hope that
the lesson viii! be needed, and that it
may be long years before it becomes
necessary to teach such another one.

OLD Moses Kitchen, a good AM

OLD Moses Kitchen, good and
honest darkey, and for over forty
years a resident here, died on last
Saturday. We have known him for
many long years, and when a slave
have had many monied transactions
with him and invariably found him
to be honorable and trustworthy,
which in these degenerate days is
saying great deal in few Words
He was buried on Sunday, and was
followed to his last resting place in
Gods Acre by the largest cortege of
colored friends and mourners we have
witnessed in Alexandria since the
close of the war.

"A great many of our true, but
oversanguine people here, are bank

Nichols State Government. For
one we never had a doubt, and Ger

fairly, squarely and legally by al
least G000 majority, but we can not
see, that it being reserved for Hayes
to administer upon the political at
fairs Of Louisiana, that his we'll de-
fined policy, which is now glibely
preached here, should be expected
not to be consistent. Our Electoral
vote was stolen, and it would be ex-
tremely inconsistent not to steal the
State Government along with it.

She is now stronger and in better

for your kindness. My wife has i'm

need the Bitters now, but thinks she
will send for few bottles when cold
weather sets in. | commenced this
letter at the request Of friend great

q half dozen bottles. Send them to

PLAIN TALK.--The Chicago Inter

well as several other newspapers of
theJ. Madisn Wells kidney, are very
much shocked at the Times late ex
preston of opinion. Perhaps We
have not made ourselves understood.
If majority of Democrats, or even a
respectable minority, felt as we do,
Mr.. Rutherford B. Hayes should new
er take the place alive which fraud,
theft, perjury and bribery are likely
to secure him. If that is not plain
enough we will try again st. Louis

OUR PACKET.

The planters, merchants and 9th
ers interested in a perfect and regu-
lar Packet system, and particularly
such a certain and complete one as
has been given US by Captain Dick
Sinnott, in the past four seasons with
his Bart. Able, seem to be oblivious
to the steady continuation of such
river favors and swift transportation.
We believe we are in the full range
of The full truth, when We assert that
no such steamer now runs in Red
River, and that no such speciality to
cater to the real river wants of our
people, exists here outside of the
Bart. Able, and her superior accom-
modatious, punctuality and manage,
ment, and yet many of our people
only cling to her in sunshine, and
turn the cold shoulder tc her merits
just so soon as the least dinky or out
slider throws ont her single at half
or quarter card rates. The moment
that is done your false cheap Johns
swing corners and 60 at the Packet
for a ruinous shave. They never for
a moment consider the $4,000 CAPT
tai invested in the Packet, which is
always increased in full and costly
repairs to keep her model in her
line; they are blind to the fact of her
liberal wages paid to good, efficient
and gentlemenly crews, and only for
the interested and selfish moment
stand ready to 'jew her down" to
starvation point. And then when
they go against it in that wise, they
only stick to their cheap and new
love just so far as number one has
been satifed. Live decently, and let
live on half rations does not even en-.
ter their christian hearts, but they
have saved poor nickle, hi the
Packet, their steady and constant
friend, a left handed blow, and for the
time being grin CHASTITY at the deed.
We can see no fairness, no consis-
tency, no true business tact in SUI b a
suicidal policy, and are only panied
at this late day of the business sea-
son, in our trade, that we have to no
tice such folly, such business hind.
sight. We are reminded of this duty
we owe to the liberal and fair minded
community of which we are part and
parcel, to write in these plain words,
and add as our basis of facts, that
the Bart. Able on Monday reached
here with a good freight at quarter
card rates. For the present we will
rest this important matter here, hui
we sh all certainl y refer to it again
before long.
