convention. Those four, however, want
it very much.-N. O. Times, June %.
That it is the sense and Judgment

of this State, at its next session, should
provide for the calling and assembling
of a convention, at the earliest practi-
cable time thereafter, to frame and

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath
Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of
the price OF the land
While it remained was it not thine
own? and after it was sold, was it not
in thine own power? why hast thou
conceived this thing in thine heart ?
thou hast not lied unto men but unto
God.
s And Ananias hearing these words,
fell down, and gave up the ghost And
great fear came on all them that heard
these things.

him up, and carried him out, and
buried him. --Acts of The apostles, eli. s.

4 CASE ron HEMP.
A Member Of the Packard Legislature
Outrages n Little Girl and Flees
the Country. 55Sss

IL
A few days ago a notorious negro
politician, Dave Tyler by name, COM
mitted a most outrageous crime upon
the person of quadroon girl about
thirteen or fourteen years Of age. The
girl was on her way to Sunday School
when the brute took her out in the
woods and after threatening to murder
her outraged her person. The girl has
always had a good character, and this
high-handed outrage created consider
able Indignation in this community.
The facts in the case coming to the
knowledge OF District Attorney Hall,
he at once filed information against
said Tyler and had warrant Issued
for his arrest. An officer went to his
house to serve the paper, but the negro
pulled away from him and made his
escape by taking to the woods. In
Justice to the officer, we will say that
he attempted to shoot tho culprit, but
could not make his pistol go of, until
after the fleeing stlawmaker'' had got
out Of reach. Every effort will he
made toarrest him, but we presume he
has gone to New Orleans, and like his
carpet-bag friends, will plead that the
tsAgreement' exempts him from pros
ecution. The accused has served one
or more terms in the Legislature by
virtue of the manipulations of the re-
turning board - De.S0to Democrat.

Democratic Congressional Convention
at Monroe for the purpose of nominal
ing q Congressman from this district
approaches, the friends Of Democracy
continue to grow more apprehensive of
the result. The current OF recent polit-
ical events furnishes ample and unnais-
taxable ground for such apprehension.
We have but recently learned that the
people arc agitated and divided on
questions long since settled, as we
thought, by the profound and inexora-
bic history OF American government.
But whether the Democratic party is q
party Of The Consultation, whether 1t is
founded upon principles, and whether,
IL ft is, those principles are eternal, we
have lived to learn, thanks to modern
Political leger-demain, are still open.
questions. These questions, however,
constitute the moral OF a very deplo-
rable fact in Our political history. That.
fact Is that for eighteen years the fifth
congressional district OF Louisiana has
been virtually without representation.
In Congress-. Whether it shall remain
nnrepresented is the question to be
settled by the people on the 10Th inst.
The held is already filled with candi-
dates for the nomination.. Others are
likely to spring up from the ashes OF
Issues but recently buried out of sight
The atmosphere is black already with
the protestations of devotion to meas
ures of local Importance. The candi-
dates for nominatfon have already con-
cluded, it would seem, that tho only
questions to be discussed and settled
|. by the next Congress are whether Car
roll, Madison and Tensas shall have a
Ievee whether railroad shall be
built from Frogville to Gophertown,
and whether Monroe shall have a
Federal court. We walt to see il the
people want any such man. Rather
| let them say wo have had too many
| such already. Rather let them con-
template the feeble political pigmies
that have heretofore sought the suf-
fragee of the people. Rather let them
contemplate the artful dodgers that
have gone from our State to Washing
| ton, and skulked away into tho dark
ness to avoid contact with the stalWart
| intellectual giants from other States.
Rather let them contemplate the polit-
| fcal o(lfum now fastened upon us, like
| a nightmare, through tho sheer ina
lbiIitys OF our representatives. Rather
let them carefully scrutinize the polit-
ical histories of men, and select one
IWtth0ut spot or Flemish. Rather let
them determine carefully the material
necessary to meet and dispel the polit-
Iical storm likely to gather at Wash
| ington during the next Congress. No
political dodger, or acrobat, no INTEL
lectual pigmy, will answer the pur-
pose. It is to be hoped by every friend
lof Louisiana that the convention
which meets next Monday Will so dis
charge its duties that the people will
no longer be ashamed of the insignifi-
canoe of the Fifth Louisiana District
in the halls OF Congress.
