THE PRESS.

There is no question but the press has |
received hard usage at the hands OF the
legislature both during it's first and Sec
oud session. The radicals were on one |
extreme but the DEMOCRATS have been on
the other-the former were rascally Out
shrewd, while the latter have been, we
presume, honest but excessively stupid.
In the name of retrenchnent and reform
they have cut down rates to the starva-
tion point.
We are very we'll aware that the argu-
ment could he used that papers are not
compelled to take contracts at these
rates, but this is not Il fair argument.
Newspapers are designed more tor tho
subservience of public interests than any
other Institution and therefore are deser-
wing of at least Il moderately tar remu-
ueration for their labor. No Intelligent,
unprejudiced nlaL doubts for IL moment
that the crushing out OF carpet-bag goY-
ernment in Louisiana has been of incal-
culable advantage to the taxpayers OF
the State. Nor does he doubt that this
desirable result has been mainly duo to

and legitimate extent. That this hope
has never been realized is a fact sadly
felt by every paper in the state. we
have a realizing sense that the Times has
sunk at least $4,000 during the seven
wears it has been run. That it could
have made money by a betrayal OF the
public interest no man not thrice sod

every one of our suffering contemporaries
in the state has similar record.

THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
TNatcheZ Democrat.

The tremendous power possessed by the
Louisiana Lottery Company is attracting
the attention of prominent newspapers
abroad, although most of those in New
Orleans seem to be under tho control of
that mammoth gambling concern. A Wig
orous fight las been and is still being
made upon this lottery concern by the
New Orleans Democrat, but the immense
profits of this concern enable it to resist
successfully all the attacks of this able
paper. The chief OF the lottery company.
Mr.. Ashas. T. Howard, by his shrewd MAN.
ipulations Of the Louisiana Legislature.
has acquired power :. hich is likely to
overshadow that once exercised by War
moth or Kellogg. With the aid of the
press Of New Orleans. he has only to gain
| that OF the neighboring country parishes
| to give him absolute control of the Lou
isiana Legislature.
Lottery dealing has been so generally
recognized as one of the most dangerous
and demoralizing species OF gambling,
that in nearly all the States of the Union
it is prohibited. There is n law forbid
ding the use of the United States mails
in carrying on the lottery business, but
from the manpcr in which the circulars
and schemes of this peculiar company are
circulated it would seem to be dead
letter. But the magnitude of the opera
tions of the Louisiana State Lottery Is
beginning to attract the attention OF in
tluential newspapers outside OF tho State
in which it is located.

low New Iberia, were fred and entirely
DESTROYED. The incendiary, celored
ex-preacher named Isaac, was discovered
torch in hand, going toward the stable
TO set it on fire, when he was arrested.
The people in the neighborhood as
sembled en- masse, Saturday morning, and
executed him near the scene of his last
crime.
Before his execution, some doubts hav-,
ing been expressed regarding his SANITY
in view of the wholesale destruction con-
+e,,n},ted and heretofore executed by
him. he was examined by several physl
clans who pronounced him perfectly
sane, but imbued with deep feeling OF
hatred and revenge toward both white
and black. He confessed his guilt IN tho
rressnt case, and only regretted he had
not completed his work by burning the
st,hl. and dwelling of Mr.. Olivier also

THE TEXAS TRAIN ROBBERS.
(Meluphis Appeal.)

"A hpPS"'/
Highway robbers are making things
lively in Texas. Their daring deeds and
exploits bear comparison with those OF
Jack Sheppard, Dick Turpin and other
noted highwaymen in their palmiest days:
Trains have been stopped and the en-
press and mail cars plundered some half
dozen times within the past four weeks:
The last of these daring deeds occurred,
on Thursday, at Eagle Ford. 4 station chi
the Texas and Pacific Railroad, about
six miles from Dallas. At this point all
armed gang, about q dozen in number
mounted the train, Il portion of whom,
with pointed pistols, took charge of the
express messenger, mail agent and rail-
road employees, while the balance leis-
urely devoted themselves to plunderinG
tho express safe and mail bags, and
when they had secured everything OF
value, they quietly drove of, in west
crly direction. After the second train
robbery over there, about three weeks
ago, the Governor, RAILROAD and express
jointly organized a large force for the
purpose of hunting down the robbers,
and in addition offered reward of nine
thousand dollars for their capture and
conviction. But the untcrritied high
waymen are still at large, and seem to
he pursuing their villalnous career with
increased energy. AS the Post Office
Department. is not liable for the loss Of
any money, valuable packages or regis
tered letters sent through the mails, II
great many poor people will no doubt
be made sufferers by these robberies.
The express company, Of course, is liable
for all losses, and those who remitted
through that channel are all right. We
understand that the express company
has lost immensely by this series of rob-
berries in Texas. Still, every loss was
promptly made goodby the company OH
presentation of receipt. NJ. j. O'Brien.
general superintendent of tho Southern
and Texas express companies, was in the
| city during the past week, and on re-
ceipt of dispatches announcing the rob-
berry at Eagle Ford, he immediately
left for Texas, with the determination to-
adopt such measures as will bring about
the capture Of these daring highway
men, regardless of the cost and
trouble incident thereto.

or tried dirt since. five cannot eat dirt,
how can we swallow fourteen volumes Of
the Telegraph!
To be uore serious, we invite atten-
ton, on the question of constitutional
reform, to what was said by q distin-
guished Democrat in the last campaign.
We refer to Gov. McEnery, who, in a
speech made in Monroe, June 3, 1876.
said:
"The Democratic party did not in
tend to deprive the negro of any of his
rights on the contrary. they would be
protected. Their schools would receive
proper attention, and they would re-
ceive their joint benefits out of the
school fund and it was tho intention of
the Democratic party to educate them"
What did he mean ? Simply that not
withstand:ng it was our purpose to. SUI
percede the Constitution of 1868 and alb
rogate article 135, wherein mixed schools
are established, yet the colored people
would be protected and provided for in u
new constitution.
At the Baton Rouge Convention in Ju-
ly, 1876, the Governor developed his
meaning more comprehensively as fol-
lows:
81 predict tonight that under the ad-
ministration of General Frank Nichols
we will have genuine substantial reform
in the State of Louisiana. Ipredict that
under his Observation-Disclosures he is bound
to be elected, that fact was settled the
moment the fiat went forth from this
convention that he was to be the stand
ard bearer of the Democracy-I say that
under his administration we will have
reform, and we will ertirpate all the
abominable results Of Radicalism IN the
State of louisiana" Tremendous ap-
plause.)
Ertirpate is powerful and expressive
word, and Gov. McEnery knew full we'll
it's meaning. There is no possible way
of evading the conclusion that to root
out existing evils was the pledge, and
| to substitute therefor Il new and just
constitution, and good laws thereundel
| was the, obligation Of that Conven
ton.
If Gov. McEnery meant to lop Oft this
and that of the statutes and strike out
this and that OF the articles of the con
stitution with the option of emitting th'
worst features Of both, then we fail t.
undertand him.
Gov. McEnery meant then, just as IL
will acknowledge now, that every can
didate for office, every orator OH til
stump and every gossip OH the corner
pledged himself and is now bound to us
his influence towards the eXtirpation q
all the abominable results Of Radical
ism in the state OF Louisiana.

ARE DEMOCRATS PLEDGED !
(Ouachita Telegraph.)

The question has arisen, strange to
tell, whether or not Democrats OF THIS
State are pledged to a change OF Constl-

the effect that no such issue was over
raised, aud that the framing OF new
constitution is no part Of the Democrat.
