We lack space and time for the dis

the present issue of our paper; but we
cannot refrain from expressing sense
of relief that the long pending contest,
which was bearing with heavy weight
upon all branches Of business and in

Vile Chief (Rep.)
To take careful view of the political
situation Of the South we are bound to
admit that the prospect is cheering
| We have no cause to fear or complain ii
we can preserve fidelity in the ranks of
our leaders. We have representative
power in the government sufficient to
command respectful attention and en-
force our rights in Its councils. The
House OF Representatives Is Democratic,
| that no one can confidently rely on
which way it will decide on any politi-
cal measure. This being the case,
Hayes himself is bound to adopt a con-
ciliatory policy toward the Democratic
party, and especially toward the people
OF the South. II Vienna Sentinel.

rare occurrence in this parish; and as
general consequence our criminal ex-
penses are considerably lessened. This
favorable change is due to the Vigilance
Committee, an organization that sprung
up in our midst some two years ago, and
which we must admit has been well and
wisely erected. AS journalists we are
opposed to any and all organlzaticns
that would usurp the Legitimate author

nit that, in this case, the movement
was an urgent necessity and it has been
success. A notable feature In this or

we find whites and blacks, Democrats
and Republicans, all alike leagued

Then 90 ahead Hurrah for King Cot
ton! Devote all your time to his service,
and you will very soon have nothing to
trouble you, or take care Of, as the mer-
chants will soon own you and all you
once possessed, and they will naturally
or will cease to annoy you, for you will
have nothing on which to pay taxes.
You will never be In danger Of sickness
from -eating, as the merchant will
issue only healthy diet of pickle pork
and corn bread. You will avoid the an
noyance Of doctor bills, as the doctor
will cease to visit you. You will not be
compelled to look after young lambs,
young calves, colts, pigs, etc, and, In
short, have nothing to detract your at
tention from your life-work OF raising
cotton, selling it for five or eight. cents
per pound, and paying the proceeds over
and common, cheap clothing. -[Union
