Be 1t Remembered.
Yours truly,
TOBIAS.

Be it remembered not as a thing of
joy, but as a compound of arch nui-
sance and unparalleled neglect Of du-
ty, paid for by the government, that
on Monday for the eight time sue
cessfully the Red River stage reach
ed here without our most important
mail. Be it remembered thatit looks
to an Editor, placid and serene in his
comfortable sanctum, awaiting his
just and rightful boon from the Gov
eminent Contractors, like a premedi-
tated and criminal neglect of duty,
and that it has been followed up for
eight week with refreshing nonchG
lance and cheek, known and practised
alone to the salaried ones Of Post
Master General Keys Department.
Be it remembered that no efforts
have been made to cnre the damning
evil, though known to all the officials
drawing pap FROM Mr.. Hayes bee
hive. Be it remembered that Gene
raj George A. Sheridan, the bosom
friend Of Mr.. Hayes, and the Special
Agent of the Department, we are
now indicting, was here in this Town,
and this Editor in person made this
known to him, the said Sheridan,
that he listened attentively to US,
pulled out his memorandum book,
pencilled it down and eloquently told
us that it should be remedied, and
that too at once. Be it remembered
that said Sheridan parted with us
with a smile and as genial a shake of
the hand as ever was given by Mr..
Hayes himself, and be it remember
ed that Mr.. Sheridan, Post Agent,
never redeemed his promise, and that
the whole promise has been as futile
as the base fabric of radical dream,
and lastly, be it remembered that we
believe that Mr.. Hayes and his whole
shebang in this important matter,
don't care a continental persimmon
for US, and that the Contractors will
be feed extra for their direliction of
plain duty.

be both respected and enforced, the
bitter antaRonism between the races

may come, Mr.. Pihchback don't want
@ continuance Of the present state
which has been conspicuous there
so long. He says his race cannot stand
it, and he hopes the new policy Of Pres
ident Hayes will not be opposed by
those who care anything for the negro,
whether they do for the white man or
not. The intel ests Of the two races are

The improvement and prosperity
coming once again to our sister State OF
Mississippi under Democratic rule, Is
best shown in certain tax redemptions
that occurred In Adams county, in that
State, during the past few weeks-inci-
dents that never occurred under Radi-
calism. During last week alone, nine
valuable plantations in Adams county,
sold to the State for taxes under the Rad
icals in the years 1874 and 1876, were re-
deemed by their original owners by. the
payment of the taxes, damage and all
the costs incurred in their sale. There
can be no surer proof of the return Of
prosperity than this; we hope and be-
lieve that this will spread to Louisiana,
and that the thousands of acres of prop
erty sold here for taxes may be redeem
ed and return once more to their
original owners.

PINCH.
The way He Speaks and Acts I'm WASH
fugtOu


III. V. Redfeld, in Cincinnati Commercial
Our old friend Pinchback is on hand
snuf1ing the battle and trying to get the
hang Of the situation from Washing
ton standpoint, being utterly bswildered
by conflicting accounts while in New
Orleans. He tells me he had not been
here twenty-four hours before he saw
that the hope of the carpet baggers was
gone. The days of the Kellogg dynas-
ties in the South are past. Pinchback
is very positive that Hayes will recog-
nize neither Packard nor Chamberlain.
He says that If President Hayes takes
no part whatever, but allows matters
to shape their own course the Packard
concern can not last long. It has
not the support of the class who
own the property and contribute the
taxes. And further, that if by any
misfortune Hayes should attempt to
set up the Packard government.
by the Federal power, the tumuls
of the past four years would be con-
tinued four years more, only much
worse. Packard cannot keep the peace
even though company OF troops be
stationed ia each parish. Indeed, last
summer the worst murders and most
