republicans to convince people that
Louisiana was republican in 1876, is
that the State was republican i'll
1872. They go upon the theory that
once a republican always a republ-
can. Ii is s1most lame and Impo-
tent conclusion. = Columbus Ind. ]
Democrat.
But Louisiana was not Repu bIican
in 1872, Mr.. Lyle. Don't let the en-
emy thus deceive yoE. In lo72
Louisiana was carried by the Dem
ocrats and Liberals, but Grants bay
onets took forcible possession of the
State House, drove the Governor of
the State Ia Republican, ont OF his
Office. and set up Military Govern
ment, principally composed of men
defeated at the ballot box. We call
it Military Government, because
the Pinehback- Duren Kellogg reign
in this State was saaagarated BIZ {.
S. BAYoyETs and sustained unto
the end By bayonets. 1t was purely
a military occupation from December
1872 to the Inauguration of Nichols
in 1876. The Kellogg nsurpation
was only tolerated by the people be-
cause they were poHerless to oppose
the United States Army, that Mp
held the bastard concern; which, at
no time, ever rose to the dignity of
d Government.
In those days, Perjury, Theft and
he Bayonet held high carnival in
the land. In those days the Cartridge
box, and not the ballot box. elected
Elections did not elect. All that
defeated Radical candidate had to
do was to get up few false affida-
wits, and into Office he went. He
was counted IN, and the e. s. Army
"a convenient auxiliary of fraud in
Grants haDds-sustained him in
Office. In those days, the Radical
party tsoarsshed i-ruledand robbed
and the people were without hope,
fer ne time being.
But the d TX night OF Radical
niSrnie and oppression had to have
an end. After many sore trials, the
day of our deiiVerance came at last.
We are now free, thank God for il !!
And free, We intend to remain. Bet

rule that we have gone Though with
Democrats of Louisiana, let us
not forget the bitter lessons of the
past, We are bound together By
most sacred tie-ts1e recollection

1t is thought that the pro-
gramme of the Potter Investi-
eating Commute, and of Con-
gress, is not 10 question Hayes
title as conferred by the Electo-
raj Commission, but TO ascer-
tain what agency Hayes had in
purchasing the votes of Louisi-
ana and Florida. If it can be
proven that Mr.. Hayes was in
COLLISION with these forgeries
and frauds, such facts viii form
the ground for Impeachment by
the House Of Representatives
The House is now Democratic.
The Republicans are sacrificing
everything else and coneentra-
ting their strength upon their
Congressional candidates. with
the view Of having a majority
in the House, which meets In
December next. The Senate,
which is ROW Republican, viii
be Democratic after the 4th of
next March If We carry the
Congressional Districts this Fall
both Houses will be Democratic.
Then, If the Committee makes
ont a good case, the House will
impeach, and the Senate try
and convict, Mr.. Hayes. So,
the only hope the Republicans
have Of keeping their Frandn-
lent President from being i'm
peached, is by electing their
Congressional candidates this
FAN, and getting majority in
the House.
As far as Hayes completely
in stealing the Presidency is
concerned, we think Congress
has a clear case for impeach-
ment and conviction. As kiss
ing goes by favor, SO do political
rewards for party or other ser
vices. For instance.

ed in stealing the vote of Louis

- Easaisn Grain Har,kess.


The Mark Lane E1press says: Wheat
cutting is now becoming general, and, judg-
Ing from recent agricultural advices, wheat
has improved wonderfully in many parts Of
the country. The sunshine has repaired the
injury caused by the rainfall Of May to An un-
looked for extent, excepting in districts where
the drought was severe, causing premature
rlpening. The prospects for the barley crop
are variable and generally unpromising, par
ticularly on high lands. The yield will Ger.
tainly be light. Oats aud beans promise
fairly. The grain trade In London and the
provinces is devoid OF any special feature but
prices are we'll maintained considering the
proximity of the harvest. There Is an under
current Of steadiness observable and the opin,
ion generally obtains that whether bought for
consumption or speculation, wheat at present
prices cannot do much harm to millcrs or
speculators II the strengthening influence at
work Is continued. There is a constant de-
mand for white for export and cargoes OFF the
coast have been taken for continental account
and the fact that prices are stationary In the
face Of liberal imports and the improved crop
prospects is In . great measure due to this
Legitimate increased demand. The arrivals
of wheat cargoes of the coast, especially from
America, appear likely to be small for the
next few weeks, but as brilliant prospects are
entertained of the crop on the other side of
the Atlantic, the probability Of any material
rise here is more or less remote. With mod
crate arrivals at ports of call, the floating car
go trade for wheat is steady without quota
BILE change. The demand for the continent
continues and helps to support prices. Maize
dull. Barley unchanged.

Marley came boiling into Aunt
Silvy's cabin. The next is what he
usually did when things vexed him.
"1t's meant" he said, snatching off his
large raw hat and wiping the perspir-
alton from his brow.
Aunt Silvy was peling peaches for
drying-great lucious Indian peaches,
too, beet-rcd from down to pit.
"Seems like yer's ai'ays fin'in some-

dropped in the pan, and she proceeded to
stone the peach, which looked as though
pared by machinery. "What's de matter

At Little Rock, Arkansas, July 31st.
Edward NJ. Orr shot and it is thought fatally
wounded James B. Mclaughlin, lawyer OF
that city. The father Of Orr is said to reside in
st. Louis. Orr has been in the county Jail
nearly one month on the charge of gam.
bling and sharp practice on some citizens. On
the Goth ult his fine was paid with money by
his father. Mclaughlin had been employed
by him in the meantime to defend him. He
had turned over his yalies to the lawyer who
was to keep it until Orr, on being released
from Jail, demanded it, but Mclaughlin had
refused to give it up until his fee was paid
whereupon Orr shot him, the ball passing
through the breast and touching the lungs
and, it is thought the shot will prove fatal
Another entered his leg and one his thigh
Orr is in Jail. Mclaughlin has been resi-
dent of Little Rock about six. months. He is
from Cleveland, O., and stands we'll at the

Cause Of an Explosion.

The mystery of the explosion in Green
fields N. Y. candy factory six monthsago, by
which several persons were killed, is still un-
explained, but it is now found that the inven
tor Of slngularly destructive powder, the
composition Of which Is q secret and is manu-.
featured solely for the Russian government,
had an Office in the Greenfield building at the
time Of the explosion and it is thought that
the presence cf this compound may account
for the disaster.
