DIR. SAMUEL BARD.

We speak to the old men:-Do you
remember DIR. Sam Bard ? He lived
in this State some 20 years ago, edited
a half dozen newspapers, and was once
State Superintendent of Public Educa-
ton. You certainly remember Bard.
Well, he has come back to Louisiana,
and, what is very singular, the Doctor
has started a newspaper. He has
pounced down upon US with the Baton
Rouge Herald; but, while we admit
being surprised as to the exact locality
where the Doctor would appear, we
maintain that we have never enter
tanned a doubt that the Doctor would
re-appear in Louisiana, some time or
other. We have waited for his COM
ing with all the faith and constancy of
Ulysses wife. Some said he would re-
main in Georgia, some affirmed that he
would locate permanently in Idaho,
and become Senator from the Sta te

have direct personal interest in the
matter.
We advocate the measure because, in
the first place, we believe 1t Is a thing
eminently 1T to be Done for the best in-
terests of the State; and, in the second
place, because we are perfectly we'll
satisfied that the great mass Of the tax
payers of the State desire it. In this
country the people are the judges Of
what is best for them, but whether
their Judgment be right or wrong, their
servants violate the trust reposed in
them ii they refuse to carry out their
wishes.
1t is the flimsiest of arguments to
oppose the convention because 1t might
upset the present State government.
II that government be acceptable to
the people it can be retained or re-estab-
lished. II, on the other hand, 1t Is not
acceptable to them it should be upset.
This is self-evident proposition.-

THE CONVENTION.

The principal argument used in New
Orleans against the call of a constitu-
tional convention is that it might fall
into the hands of the Radicals. This
we regard rs a very weak argument
indeed. If the respectable element of
the State cannot succeed now it is not
at all probable that they can do so after
the Radicals have had time to reorgan-
ize their forces which were demoralized
by their defeat in November last. The
result of the late election in Caddo and
Bossier parishes may be accepted as a
fair indication of the condition of the
parties at this time.
1t is not at all probable that such
amendments to the constitution as the
respectable people of the State demand
can pass the legislature, as it will re-
predict that after while our legislators
will become satisfied of this fact, when
they will be compelled to call the con-
vention or forever forfeit the confidence
and support of their constituency. A
mans interests are very apt, even I'M
consciously to himself, to influence his
judgment, and we think the rule applies
with peculiar force to those gentlemen
who oppose the calling OF convention.
There are, of course, exceptions, for
there are few legislators who oppose
it without having any direct personal
interest in the matter. But these are
the exception and if these gentlemen
were to closely analyze their opinions
on the subject it might be that they
would find themselves influenced by
the opinion of some friend who dOes

Negroes ftom the back country of
south Carolina continue to throng into
Charleston with view OF taking pass
age to Liberia, though SO far no snip
destined for that far-Of shore has made
its appearance in the harbor. The
faith of these simple Americans of
African descent in the ultimate success
Of their pilgrimage is astonishing.

when formed, while others have as
doggedly maintained that he would
live and die in Florida. We have be-
LEVIED none of them. Not the shadow
of doubt has ever crossed our mind
that we should live to see Bard once
more q citizen of Louisiana, aud the
editor of q newspaper, too. This has
been our presentiment for more than
ten years. Our trust in Bard has not
been betrayed. In the Baton Rouge
Herald we recognize our poet brother
Ut 20 years ago. A bound volume of
his earlier poems, entitled the "Oua-
chita Register" lies before us. Ex-
cept that our old friend stints himself
in the use of italics, SMALL CAPS,
GAPS, cannon, ROSTERS and exclama-
tions-familiar poetical auxilliaries in
his earlier printed productions I'VE
find little or no change in him or his
style. There is the same brevity in
competition, the same royal manner of
expression and the same deep current
of piety in the Herald of to-day that
we find in the Register of II years ago.
1t is our old friend Bard, beyond a
doubt! The telephone is not needed
TO strengthen our belief in his identity
by the sounds of his well-known voice,
nor need we consult a medium to learn
that he is carrying cane and wearing
d plug hat. Bard, we salute you,
heartily! We met you last in Wash
ington, Qf you remember,) when you
were daily closeted with Grant, and
we were fooling away time trying to
convince a Radical house of represen-
tatives that q majority of 10000 Demo-
Gratis ought to be represented. Grant
sent you to Idaho as Governor, and
the House sent us home. You didn't
admire Idaho, and we have not been
out of Louisiana since. Our parting
was ssfu' TENDER" and the separation
has been painful. Can't you embrace
US?

A PRESENT TO A MASONIC LODGE.

Mrs. L. l.. Mcclure, of Monroe, has
presented a fine lot of ground to Wesr-
tern Star Lodge, No. "a, with u stipu-
lation in deed thereof, that the Frater-
nifty build thereon Masonic Hall.
The giver of this beautiful gift, is a
widow lady of fortune and refinement,
well known throughout the Ouachita
country for deeds OF loving kindness,
and although advanced in years is still
the centre of u social circle, around
which revolves host of admiring
friends and relatives. Her husband,
DR.. Robert F. Mcclure, was q masonic
scholar of wonderful industry and re-
search, and for many years previous to
mis- death held u high position in the
Order. In fact he was u shining light
at one time the Senior Grand War
den of the Most WOrshipful Grand
Lodge of this State-as we'll as a stThir-
ty-Third" of the Ancient and Accepted
scottish Rite, and although many
years have rolled away since his depar-
ture from lite, the memory of his many
virtues, like the Snekinah of the Tenn
pie, still. sheds a pure and holy influ-
ence upon the affairs of Masonry in
North Louisiana.
Ii the other noble sisters, residing in
this State, who have the welfare of the
craft at heart, would only follow the
wise example of Mrs. Mcclure, a fund
could quickly be raised, sufficient to
build in this city magnificent Grand
Lodge Hall. The corner stone to this
much needed edifice was laid with
much shouting and great flourish of
trumpets some years ago, but the mat
ter is now dormant and apparently of
no more interest to the wealthy masons
of this State, than the completion of
that splendid project, the Southern
Pacific Railroad is to the sleepy proper
ty owners of this Van Winklian city.
