the cool wether. It may now
be regarded generally as one
of the things Of the past. It
seems however to be prevail

vices are that there are some
five or six cases in that town.
It is hardly probable tina the
disease will spread to any con-

THE PAsTIMEs.-One of the grandest
successes it has yet been our fortune to
chronicle, was that which attended the
performance of the Pastime Dramatic
Association, on Wednesday evening last,
for the benefit of the Touro 1nfirmary of
New Orleans. We are not aware of any
occasion upon which Firelnen's Hall has
been graced with larger or more bril-
liant audience than that which filled its
spacious floor on that evening. All the
arrangements were perfect, and every
thing, even the weather, which had been
unpromising in the morning, seemed to
conspire to render that "ftness" due to
tho worthy object of the entertainment
and to the talent and accomplishments of
the ladies and gentlemen composing the
Association. AS to the performance it.
SELF we are FREQ to say that it has never
been surpassed, if equaled, by any anna
teur representation produced in our
midst. A delightful audience is the best
evidence OF the merits of an entertain
Eent, and such certainy was that which
left the hall in the "wee sma hours of the
morning." after threading the intricacies
of the may dance. The proceeds of the
benefit We're doubtless very large, such
as the object should have commanded.
Success ever to the Pastines.

THE ELECTION.

On Tuesday next the voters
Of the State of Louisiana will
be called upon to give express
sion at the oallot box. not on
ly as to their choice for con-
gressional, state and local off,
ces, but also as to the qucs-
ton ct removing the State
Capital, and a number Of pro-
posed amendments to the con-
stiuticn. In looking the sit
uation squarely in the face,
it is not difficult to perceive
that the most important OBJ
ject to be attained is that of
returning Democrats from ev..
cry congressional district in
the state, nor is it more diff
cult to realize how this great
interest may be jeopardized by
dissensions and local differ
ences existing in some of the
parishes, our own among
the number. Never, at any
time, has the question of con-
gressmen risen to such impor-
lance as at the present mo
ment. The administration at
Washington is using its ut
most exertions, nor will the
public treasury be spared in
the effort to secure from sew
eral districts, the election of
radicals or SO called independ>
ents. Let it not be forgotten
that the election of President
in 1880 will most likely be
thrown into the House OF Rep
resentatives, and that this
very point is the main spring
which actuates radical solicit
tude in the premises.
1t bchooves every one who
has the welfare Of the State
aud country at heart, DO mat
ter what may be his individu"
alideas or preferences on local
matters to vote the State and
congressional tickets and to i'll
huence every vote possible,
to that end Let not our
private equabbles endanger
the loss of a congressman or
the defeat Of the State ticket.
1t is apparent to US that our
people do not realize the
amount of assistance the CoUN>
TRY will have to furnish. to
carry Mr.. Burke through suc=
cessfully. The city is badly
split.up: and we cannot hope
to come from there with our
accustomed majority. Let
Democrats ponder these facts
and act accordingly.

t, when it had candidate in thefield,
mover cast q vote out of this parish in all
this time, have always followed the flag
o tho party in triumph and III defeat,
and have become possessed of the idea
that was about the Oldest Democrat TO
be found. 1t seems right funny now to
hear men arguing about who are Demo-
Gratis, and who are not, whom have so
often met in hostile array to my party,
as Wings, Know-nothings, Douglas Dem-
ocrats, Radicals &c. New recruits are
generally the most bloodthirsty
and sharp set for battle, until
they have been in several,
and new converts to religious creeds are
generally the most enthusiastic, Jealous
and illiberal in preaching their new
dogmas. In Wilkinson County. they have
ten candidates for Sheriff, while we have
only two, we certainly can have a quiet
race and enjoy the race tho same with
our two opposing parties if they can
stand ton in that county.
So, Mr.. Editor, will close this epistle
by wishing You all health and success.
