TEMPERANCE CELEBRATION.

The United Friends Of Temperance
Councils 4s and 40 ofAlexandria and
Pineville, both fourishing organiza-
tions, had joint celebration in the
Town Hall on the evening of last
Thursday, which was largely attend
ed, and served to display the inter-
est taken by our people in this sub
iect. Addresses were delivered in
the order in which they are named,
by Rev. C. Keener, Robt. P. Hunter
ESQ.,, and Rev. A. N. Ogden, which
we're all appropriate and we'll re-
ceived. They hit John Barleycorn
some heavy ticks which were duly
appreciated by the audience. They
all commented on the marked i'm
provement in respect to intemper-
ance since the societies were organ
lied and sought to encourage them
to continued efforts in the good
works.
There was a Temperance Picnic
on the next day short distance up
the river, whittier the party was car
ried by Captain Graham with his
fine new boat the John G. Rogers,
having barge in tow. AS the sky
was laundering tents were carried
along, for which they soon had use
as it commenced to rain and rainec
all day. This seemed but to increase
the fun of the occasion, as the Tenn
perance folks seemed to think they
ought not to object to a bountifu
f supply of cold water, even if tn
e supply did exceed the demand b.

and when we do learn, we shall Ger

its first issue is before US in the

THAT was sensible kind of tramp
who went up to the keeper of a coun.
try inn and asked for drink of liquor,
as he was exceedingly dry. The land
lord said, "Why don't you drink wa
ter' It's plenty around here" "My
FRIEND" said the tramp, with a depre-
catory shake of the head, "there are
indications that this is going to be a
dry season. Don't you think that hu.
man beings should drink whisky and
leave the water for the cattle ? Be
merciful to the dumb creation" He
got the liquor.

LINE. DEALERS SUPPLIED BY
HENRY ST. JOHN.

AN HONEST RAD1cAL.-During the
reign of universal corruption, for ten
years when Radicrlism was in full
bloom and absolute power, the late
Attorney General, A. P. Field, was
considered the only honest man
among the whole crowd, and died
with that reputation. The Demo
Gratis being now in power have CON-
menced to investigate, and so far
many Ubiquitous secrets have leaked
out. The widow of the honest "old
Roman" has come to our rescue, and
with the documents is showing up
the buzzard crew, of which we are
now happily rid. The following is
one among many letters, of which
she has preserved copies, and is
proof positive of Kellogg's rascality
and venality:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, STATE
OF LOUISIANA,
| New ORLEANS,
July 10, 1875.
His Excellency W. P. Kellogg:
SIR-The fact which you are aware
has come to my personal knowledge Of
your unparalleled attempt to tamper
with the Judge Of the Superior Crimi.
nal Court, in the matter Of his charge
to the jury, forces me to address you
this official communication upon the
subject. 1t is an act which of itself
should result in your impeachment fol
misdemeanor in office, being committed
upon the occasion of the trial of a State
official upon the gravest of charges. !
am not prepared now to say to what
extent you have carried your Executive
influence in furthering your bold and
evident intention of shielding your
friends and partners in wrongs upon
the treasury of this State, but rest as.
sured shall not be idle in ferreting oul
all you have so zealously guarded from
the eye Of the public. lift be any com.
fort to you, lay the flattering JUNCTION to
your soul, that not your high office
shall save you, when the hour is come
in which you shall account at the pub.

the high trust reposed in you as Gov.

THE SUPREME COURT.

This Court is now sitting at Ope
lousas, and will 60 from there to
Monroe in July, to try appeals from
the country Parishes. Both ofthcse
places are out of the way and difficult
of access. We formerly had the
Court here, and the point we are 60.
ing to make is that it ought to be
moved back here by our Legislature
next Winter. We are of the opinion
that one country term of the Su-
preme Court is enough and at any
rate it would be sufficient to locate
that term at one place for the same
time, that is now given to the two
terms. AS a place for that one term
to be held in Alexandria, has the ad-
vantage over all others of being cen
trally located, and easy of access all
the year, situated as it is at the head
of low water navigation. We have
besides this the advantage of having
the largest Hotel and Courthouse
outside Of New Orleans, both of them
substantial brick structures. The
Red River Parishes whose appeals
now go to New Orleans, can all come
here very readily by water, and thus
relieve the City docket of the inter
ruption and burden of having to wait
on the country appeals at their very
busiest time. The Parishes of

Red River, Bossier, Bienville, Clai'
borne, De Soto, Caddo, VIM, Grant,
: Vernon, Sabine, Catalonia and Cald'

THE CEMETERY ASSOCIATION

This Association having for its OBJ
ject to improve the Cemetery
grounds in Pineville, have been dill
gently at work since their organiza-
ton three years ago, and in spite of
hard times and luke warm support
by the community they have sue
ceeded in putting substantial fence
around the grounds, and they have
now just completed aSexton's house;
with view of having his constant
attention and services. The work
has been done by few persons,
though nearly every family in the
Parish is interested, and the Assocl-
alton proposes as we are informed. if
those who ought to do so will contri-
butte, to lay the grounds out into
walks, to repair the neglected graves
and generally to ornament the Gem
etery so as to make it suitable place
for the decent burial of the dead,
and resort worthy Of respect to
those who are already sleeping there
their last sleep. At the last meeting
of the Stockholders, Mrs. E. L. Nc
Gimsey was elected President, Mrs.
E. NJ. Archinard, Vice-President,
Mrs. M. L. Grogau, Treasurer, and
W. W. Wilmington, Jr., Secretary.
Contributions may be handed or sent
2 to either of these officers who will
turn them over to the Treasurer, OF
!, directly to the Treasurer, Mrs. M
| L. Grogan.
e We hope that those having rela
tives and friends buried there will d.
= their share towards the improve
f ments of the Cemetery grounds, a:
o they are sadly in need of it, and no
thing speaks so we'll for communi
a ty as the care taken of their dead.

per claimants, and in loss only to
those who own or control fraudulent
or f'watered" claims. Heretofore one
Court has passed upon some Of these
claims; a Commission has passed
upon another class; the Treasury up.
on other classes, etc. Each Of these
bodies has had its own rules as to
evidence, and the most contradictory
conclusions were reached. The man
who got pay through the Court for
his cotton was refused by the Com.
mission any payment for his mules,
and, through the Treasury, got half
price for corn and oats. Each body
was supreme in it's sphere, and the
Commission and the Treasury arbi.
trarily decided upon the prices to be
paid as we'll as upon the facts in the
cases. Az there are many millions

sumably just, but which will hear
