Platform of the
Greenback and LabOring Mans
va KgTV

At meeting of the Greenback and Labor
ing Mans Party, held at Hope Villa, East
Baton Rouge Parish, La, June s, 1873, the
following preamble and resolutions We're
offered and adopted:
WHEREAS, The laboring men of the West
in convention assembled at Toledo, Ohio,
have adopted platform that partially, if
not entirely, meets the views of the people
that constitute the bone and sinew of our
country and
WHEREAS, There is but little prospect of
our present Congress enaeting any meas
Jres for relieving the financial e1nbarrass-
ment of the government but, instead,
adopting Il ruinous policy, by limiting the
coinage of silver to an insufficient amount to
meet the demands of a rapidly growing
population, by paying to foreign capitalists
in specie u heavy interest that drains the
country of its specie currency, by curtailing
money issues, by its persistence in a speedy
return to specie payment, when the govern
ment is wholly unprepared for the same,
and by making large donations of public
lands to railroad and other private enter
prises, thereby favoring the capitalists to
the detriment of the poor and laboring class;
and
WHEREAS, This course seems to be the
policy of the two parties-Democratic and
Republiean-now in power, whereby the
country has been almost brought to state
of bankruptcy, its citizens to want and dis
tress, that, if persisted in, will soon result in
a bloody conflict between the laboring class
and the capitalists therefore, be it
Resolred, /. That this organization known
as the Greenback and Labering Mans
Party, does fully and wholly endorse the
Toledo platform. and recommend its con-
sideration to all who feel an interest in the
welfare and prosperity of our cherished
country.
2. That we solemnly protest against the
" Resumption Act and urge upon Repre-
sentatives in Congress its repeal at as early
a day as practieable-that we protest
against further destruction of the peoples
money, and against any further donations
of public lands to railroad companies or any
other private corporations.
3. That we will urge with all our ability,
the issuing by our government in addition
to its present circulating medium in legal
tender currency, an amount sufficient to
give to our population an average of Forty
Dollars per head.
4. That we will use every effort in our
power to urge the U. S. government to re-
move all restrictions upon the coinage of
silver, until the wants OF its citizens are
fully relieved.
5. That we will not hold allegiance with
any party-be it Democrat, Republican OF
any other-that does not fully advocate
these views and embrace them in its plat
form. tSigned,) r. E. WEBB,
Secretary.

Our Parish Judge last week re-
ceiyed his other suit of clothes from
Grand bayou, in consequences of
which he was emboldened to apply to
the Governor for sixty days leave of
absence, with the avowed intention
of visiting the Paris Exposition or
some other seaport. The leave has
been granted and the Judge is now
celebrating as to the portion of the
globe he will grace with his judicial
presence. As just intimated, his first
impulse grayitates towards the Inter-
national Exposition at the gay French
capital, but he may yet conclude to
satisfy the innate longings of his sys-
TEN for recreation with brief sojourn
at Lockyort or on the sylvan shore OF
Lake Ferret. The claims of barrow
Vile as a summer resort will doubt
less be also. duly considered before a
final decision is arrived at in his
honor's mind, while we may be sure
that Judge Walton will not allow his
confrere to overlook the charms of
the riverside village of Port Barrow,
which, after heavy rain, is thought
by some to merit the title of New Ven
ice. Wherever Judge Maher con-
cludes to go, we wish him a cool and
pleasant time, and hope he will shortly
return, with the lustle of that suit
untarnished and himself infused with
new vigor of body and mind.

The Laboratory of the System.
The stomach is the laboratory of the sys-
TEN, in which certain mysterious processes
are constantly going on. These result in
the production of that wonderful yivifying
agent, the blood, which in state of health
rushes laden with the elements of vitality to
the remotest parts of the system. But when
the stomach is semi paralyzed by dyspepsia,
blood manufacture is carried on inIperfectly,
the circulation grows thin and Sluggish, and
the system suffers in consequence. More
over, indigestion reacts upon the liver and
bowels, rendering tue first sluggish and the
latter eonstipated. The brain also suffers
by sympathy, and sick headaches, sleepless-
ness and nervous symptoms are engendered.
Hestetter's Stomach Bitters reforhisl this
state of things. gives permanent tona and
regularity to the stomach and it's associate
organs, the bowels and liver, and insures
complete nourishment and increased vigor
OF the system. 1t is the most popular as
well as the most efficient anti-dyspeptic and
tonic in America.

Baton Rouge Sugar Planter recently
celebrated his fiftieth birthday by
q dinner to a select party of friends.
Harry has worn the editorial harness
twenty three years, has been married
twenty one of them, and is the parent
of eight children. He is entitled by
seniority of years and experience to
be called the father of the country
press, but his heart is SO light and his
spirit SO youthful thateven the young
est members of the profession regard
him as one of themselves, a boon
companion always ready to give or

title of father of anything older than
that last girl baby would seem an
outrageous breach of the prophecies.

MURDER IN ST. JAMES.


A Man Killed for S25---strange Tale of
Love and Murder---Confession Of the
Assassin.
On the 31st of May colored man
named Victor Joseph, employed on
the plantation of Mr.. Emile Bourgeois,
in st. James parish, near Whitehall,
was shot and killed in his cabin, at
night, by some party then unknown,
who had approached the spot and
committed the deed under cover of
darkness, making good his escape.
Suspicion attached to one
Duke, bright mulatto, who, being
arrested, denied having perpetrated
the crime, but said that he knew the
guilty party. to be one Charles Will
Jams, a dark griffe. The latter was
at once taken into custody and at the
preliminary examination made q full
confession of his participation in the
affair, which is sensational enough to
delight the most morbid taste for
strange and horrible details of crime.
Although warned in the usual man.
ner that he was not compelled to
make any confession, and that any
thing he would say eliminating him.
self might be used against him on the
trial of the case, Williams declared
that he could not keep the terrible
secret in his breast; that he desired
to tell it all aud then wanted but a
short time to make his peace with
God, after which he would willingly
meet his fate upon the gallows.
He said that he was the murderer
of Joseph that he bore the man no
ILL will, but killed him because Duke
offered him $25 to do it. He intended
to commit the deed Thursday night,
the 3Qth ult., and actually approached
the cabin and leveled his gun at
Joseph, who was sitting upon the gall
lery, but his. heart failed him and he
couldnot pull the trigger. Next night
he returned and found the nerve to
FIRE the fatal shot. He gave vivid
description of the circumstances from
beginning to end, and there is no
doubt that he detailed them just as
they occurred. All the other testi-
mony in relation to the affair tallies
precisely with his statement.
Dukes motive for procuring the as
sassination of Joseph can be ex-
planned in a few words. As SO fire.
quently occurs, there was "a woman
in the case.n The woman in ques
ton had lived with Joseph number
OF years and had eight children by
him. Some time ago she left Joseph
and took up with Duke, but after
living with the latter short while
she returned to Joseph's roof-tree
and the pair were to have been mar
ried the day following the murder.
Duke knew this, and aetuated by the
spirit SO aptly termed the Demon OF
Jealousy, he bribed Williams TO per-
petrate the bloody deed which his
own heart was wicked enough. TO con-
ceiVe but too cowardly TO execute.
