The Rmrat Times, (Bienville par
ish,) of the Goth instant, edited by
Judge d. +. Head, contains this
kind compliment:
This Senatorial District is com
posed OF the following parishes, en-.
titled to the number of Delegates as
we give them: BicnviIle, 5; Bossier.
4; Claiborne, s; and Webster, a.
We notice that our confrere, w. II.
Scanland, of the Bossier Banner, is
a candidate tor the Senate. We
have already expressed our claim in
favor OF Bienville, and are assured
that our parish will receive consid-
GRAFTON. But we know of no one
outside of this interest whom we
would prefer to support than Mr..
Scanland. We know of his history
in the troublesome dark days, as a
member of the Legislature. Should
any fortune pass our parish by, our
delegates should remember Mr..
ScanlaDd's worthy claims.
Thank you, kind friend; and we
believe you are, for none but a fliend
and well-wisher could utter the
above sentiment. Our course in
the s'dark days" Of oppression, was
prompted by sense of duty to oul
State, our people, and our party
Should the Convention honor us
with the nomination, our course viii
be, as in the past, for the best inter
ests of the people and the Demo
cratic party. But, whether Bossie1
is successful, or Bienville, we will
not despair, but feel that the people
and the party will be honestly an(
ably represented by the BienyilI,
Senator.

+" WHEN the truth comes to be
known about the election in Louis.
lana, President Hayes and his ad-
ministration will be sunk in in
fanny" said Senator Conkling, of
New York. The Senator's term ex-
pires next March. In order to defeat
him Hayes has removed Conkling's
friends from the Naval Office and
Collector of the Port of New York,
and appointed friends of Reuben E.
Fenton. Mr.. Fenton is candidate
for the u. S. Senate. 1t is thought
by converting these offices into DO
litical machines, he can beat Conk-
ling, and then Mr.. Hayes revenge
will be complete. But Ben Butler,
who has a spite against the Fraud,
ulent President, will soon summon
Senator Conkling before the Potter
Investigating Committee. From
the way Senator Conkling speaks,
as above quoted, we imagine he
knows something, and when he
begins to testify the fun will com
mence. So, let all non-combatants
stand aside!

that he did not write the letter pro-

alton of the frauds they had COM

A Short Sermon.

law OF Nature. that persons snail
not long profit by their own wrongs
either socially, politically, or
financially. There is nothing truer
than the truism: "Honesty is the
best policy" Fraud may triumph,
and, in it's stolen plumage, ride in
solentIy over truth and honesty, but
it will eventually fall and disgrace
overtake those who have profted
by it.
AS an argument against financial
dishonesty, look at the railroad mag
mates, mining stock operators, insu
rance officers, bank officers, and
other corporations, who have robbed
the Government and the people
Misfortune, or rather retribution
has overtaken many-they have
become bankrupts by reverses, and
others have died while in the midst
of preparations to royalty enjoy
their plundered millions. One in
stance of retribution we cite: Seven
years ago, New York bank clerk
stole 100000. He had possessed
the confidence of the bank officers
for a quarter of a century. He soon
spent the money acquired so easily.
He then resorted to mental daily
labor, and, finally, was compelled
to beg to prevent starvation. Sad
fate! Terrible retribution
AS to political dishonesty. the
statesmen, visiting and otherwise,
who are falling, daily, in disgrace
under searching Investigations, is
but evidence that he who thrives by
fraud will, sooner or later, perish
from it. Investigation of political
frauds has scarcely begun. Before
it is over, many heads now held
high, will bow low in dishonor, as
in the past, and there will be such
an alarming exposition Of frauds
made, that the American people
will be appalled, at the magnitude
of the robberies committed und1r a
supposed honest government.
/ Little more than decade ago,
civilized Europe undertook to Chris
tianize and civilize the ignorant and
barbarous Mexicans. An enlight
ened statesman and patriot, Maxi
milan, was placed over them. He
restored peace, inaugurated a sys
tenn of education, surveyed public
lands, established d bureau of emf
grafton, life and property was pro
tected, and this nation of savages
which had for centuries beer
cropping in darkness and supersti
ton, was now on the road to pros
