It Tells at Last.

The New Orleans Critic, the orgau
of the colored Republicans, is fighting
out of ranks and now talks too plainly
abont "their white allies :"
That the colored Republicans of the
South were deserted by the leaders Of
the Republican party as they were in
the spring of 1867 should teach them
that heEcetorth their reliance must be-
no longer placed upon the Republican
party but rather upon themselves. To
the party which for many years has
battled for our rights we owed debt
Of gratitude. It has been paid. Our
first duty is now to ourselves.i
When in the future the Republican
party shall emerge from the mists and
clouds which now almost shut it from
sight-when abler and more skillful
hands shall guide its course and shape
its policies-then may the negro re-
turn to his old allegiance, then, and
not till then. For it is not the negro
which deserts the Republican party,
but the Republican party which de-
serts the negro.

wanted to leave us. Except on the
river plantations within a few miles

wanted to leave us. Except on the
river plantations within a few miles
of Colfax, the poor white and black
get their supplies, sell their crops
and transact their business in Pine
vile and it is closer to Pineville from
most Of their homes than it is to
Colfax. The portion taken from
VIM Parish may find it more conve-
Went to get to Colfax than to VIM
field, but we doubt even that. The
parish seat, Colfax, ought to be abol-
ished for its name, if nothing more.
Why anybody in Louisiana should
want to do honor to that political
l.umbug and salary ..grabber, is more
than we can understand. But then
it is situated entirely on the Colhoun
estate, mortgaged knee deep, tied up
in law and nobody can buy lands to
build a hotel or anything else On
The Parish might Inappropriate
enough land for the public buildings
but it could not assist private per-
sons.
We understand that the Police Ju-
ry have passed an ordinance asking
the Legislature for authority to move
the parish seat six miles hack from
the river. This would remove many
of the Objectionable features of its
present location, but furnishes an
other argument why the whole par
ish should be abolished. None of
the buildings for public use except
a chicken coop for a Jail have been
built, and nearly all the records have
been burnt or stolen, so it weuld
harm nobody just to wipe the whole
concern out and put things back
where they were before the radicals
concluded to make a new parish for
the benefit Of themselves and Willie
Colhoun. This would be Of genuine
reform and would materially assist
in the Encouragement of this judicial
district which is so much in need of
an an cyerhauling so as to give the
District officers more work than they
now have to do. We want to see
Grant Parish abolished by the Legls-
lature when it meets.

ABOLISH GRANT PARISH.

The formation of this Parish was
one of the worst jobs of radicallsm,
and it's abolition should be one of the
first acts of our Legislature when it
meets in January. 1t was gotten Up
for private purposes, has served the
interest of only few private indi.
viduals and is detrimental to the best
interests of a large majority of the
people, white and black. Its past
record alone should condemn it for
its turbulence and uselessness. And
it is not only useless but expensive.
1t has to have a Parish Judge and
a District Judge, paid by the State,
and all the other expensive paraphar-
MALTA of parish without correspond
ing benefit to any one except few
officers and one or two property hol-
ders. Its territory was originally
taken from Rapides and VIM, and
the whole concerned was gereman-
dered for the express purpose Of ma
king it and Rapides republican in
politics. The purpose failed, but it
was no fault of theirs that it did
The territory and people that for
merly belonged to Rapidcs was
wrongfnl!y taken from her, and now
that we get our own back again we
respectfully, but firmly demand that
it be restored to US.
The people taken away from us
are good people, the hill people we
mean, aud We don't believe they ever

ALL Of our sugar planters have
commenced grinding, and though the
cane is not very ripe, still the yield
under the adverse circumstances, is
much better than most Of them had
a right to expect. We have taken
some pains to enquire into this
branch of cur farming operations,
and learn that the yield thus far is
fully one and a quarter hossheads Of
sugar to the acre. One planter
claims that his yield averages so far
two hogsheads to the acre, and an.
other whose yield is fully one and a
quarter to the acre, is badly put out
that such cane as his should not turn
out fully two hogsheads. The cold
change in the weather, since Satur.
day night, to which time we are
posted, must certainly ripen the cane
at once, aad the yield Of yesterday
and the day before must surely have
increased But should the weather
moderate and rain follow, we dread
the then bad condition of the cane.

affairs in New o.

-CoRpoRATIoN affairs in New Or
leans are anything but lively. The
Criminal Sheriff has obtained an in.
junction against the city, prohibit
ing it from paying any of its officials
until his bills for keeping prisoners
are paid. The Judge of the First
District Police Court has notified the
Mayor and Administrators, that he
will no longer pay over the fines
collected in his Office to the City, but
will apply them to the payment of
the expenses of his court, for which
the City has made no provisions for
several months. And though last,
not least, comes the Jefferson and
Pontchartrain Railroad Company
with an injunction against the fur
ther use of their property for the
drainage of large and important
area of the City.

A COURTEOUS MERcHANT.-On the
corner of Second and Murray streets
is first class, A No. 1, store, which
for the completeness Of all it's ap-
pointments can't be surpassed in this

filled with a "spick and span new
stock" selected personally, and we
do not exaggerate when we say that
all the wants and Injuries of the in :
ner and outer man can there be had
at very small advance of actual
cost. And then it is real pleasure
to be waited on by our smiling young
friend, Julius Caspar, who, besides
giving you your moneys worth of
goods, does it in such courteous
and afable manner that one swears
never to buy from anybody but
Caspar.

The match race at Jerome Park,
between Ten Brock and Parole, did
not come of, the great Kentucky ra-
Ger paying forfeit, because he was
off and in bad condition. There now
seems to be no doubt that he was
dosed at Baltimore, and like our
great Lecomte, has to see his laurels
in his fourth year, wither by poison.
