The Patrons of Ponds Extract

ether INSCRIPTIONS trades
men, desirous of making a larger

to their customers who ask for

do not keep il in bottles. but have
it in bulk.
This Company Is most sOIici-

NEW WORDS TO AN OLD TUNE.

Is it a battle or sham
To which we are invited 7
Where Independents try to cram
Their bondmen SO delighted!
Yankee Doodle is the tune,
Yankee Doodle Dandy!
Yankee Doodle-hai ha ha!
1t comes SO nation handy!
Who leads the clan it's hard to say,
Mcknight, the good, or Willett,
Fletcher, TORY, Guynes or Gray
They make the billiard fill it
Yankee Doodle, etc.
Dan Fletcher, with his nasal twang,
Is deferred into folly;
Nicely heads off the Willett gang
Fills Gray with melancholy.
Yankee Doodle, etc.
Raglan compels Mcknight to plead
For whites to come as hackers
His Independent slaves to lead
Whilst TORY joins the clackers.
Yankee Doodle, etc.
Parson Brian, on spavin'd goat,
Is heading for the Senate;
The pills in DR.. Kelly's coat
Win purge him in minute!
Yankee Doodle, etc.
Purging is what the State now needs
You're bound to take our doses;
Well cure the Independent breeds
Before November closes
Yankee Doodle, etc.
Colored Freedmen look askant;
They ask for Kearson leaders;
White bosses say: 80. no, you can't
You're only ofiice-feeders
Yankee Doodle, etc.
"You grind our axes when you vote,
Is that not honor plentyi
You fill with us our rotten boat,
We office-seeking gentry!
Yankee Doodle, etc.
'1t's only sham at best, You know;
Freemen are bound to beat us;
Our crew Salt-river-wa shall go,
Where Satan waits to greet u.s.!
Yankee Doodle, etc.

Register! Register!

On Thursday, when registration
closed at Colfax, the books showed
q total of $40, of whom 461 are
white and All colored, leaving the
whites just fifty ahead. This is an
extremely small margin, consider
ing the claim made by Mcknight
and bis clackers that they viii get
more white votes than the Demo-
Gratis will get from the negroes.
1t is the duty Of every man to
use his utmost endeavors to get his
neighbors to register and vote, for
the combined efforts of the Repub-
ican vampires, under multiform
names and guises, assumed to hide
past sins, are marshalling their
hosts. 1t is to be life and death
struggle with them. The whites
OF this parish hold the balance of
power. Will they use it?
In the interest of society and
good government, and for the sake
OF honesty and peace, we urge it
upon You to be at your post. Do
not let the enemy catch you nap
ping, but stand for principle, and
draw the line that she that is not
for us is against us" No man is a
true friend to his race that will
try to ride into office on the COM
bined votes of the negroes, in OPP
position to nine-tenths of the in
telligence and wealth of the parish.
Let no man have it laid to his
charge that his neglect caused the
defeat of the men of his choice.
Do your duty this one time, and
these arch fiends to their race will
be consigned to oblivion. Work
valiently for the cause of your own
espousal, and let the cry. be: Greg
lister and vote!

opposed TO Compromise.

C0LFAX, La, oct. y, 1875.
Editor Chronicle:
In last Saturdays Issue you claim
certain Republicans to be the regu-
lar Democratic nominees for the diff
ferent ward offices. Nail them to
your masthead and the outside world
will look on our ticket as another
one of j. Mad Wells combinations.
Nominate straight out Democrats;
make avigorous and aggressive cam
paign and success will crown our eff
forts in November next. But for
Heavens sake don't try to sneak in
on "policy." He died with Mr..
Greedy. Some of the unspotted
Democrats who sought and held Of
fee under Warmoth and Kellogg,
and the prime movers in making
the jambalaya ticket, have classed
Inc as an Independent and a seeker
for the tax collectors office. Both
charges are false. but if these names
are kept on our ticket, / will be an
Independent as far rs relates to the
ward officers. The assumption of
authority on the part of those who
made the ward nominations might
have been excusable had they nomi-
mated Democrats, but placing avowed
Radicals on the ticket is simply out
rageous. WARD ONE.
We learn from very authentic
source that Thomas johnson and
Lorenzo Smith accept the nominal
ton, thanking their Democratic
friends, and say that they would
much prefer representing a people
than a party. In accepting the
nomination they forego none of
their Republican principles, which
fact is fully recognized. This is
courtesy to the colored people, and
there is no "sneaking" about it.
We simply admit that the colored
people can beat us in Ward One.
While we favor a straight out"
fight, we think it just and wise to
make these nominations. These
men are known to be intelligent,
weil-behaved and honorable men,
bers of their race, and if we are to
have colored men for ward officers
it is the part of wisdom to get the
best men to be had. Our CORE
spondent knows full well that the
negroes can elect any one in this
ward they choose, and we see 10
improperly in the Democrats sig
nifying who would be most accep-
tible to them; but We fail to see
the use of making nominations
that would most certainly be de-
feated. If Ward One does not
choose to vote for these men, it is
lis privilege to be independent
n the matter. We do not pro-
pose to nail their names to our
mast head, for the reason that they |
Ire not Democrats.

Our police jury liked to have
caused the death of Biossat, the
editor of the Alexandria Democrat.
He thinks it extremely funny that
the people of Grant parish are not
as badly scared at Yellow Jack as
the Alexandrians, and he laughed
himself into a duck-6t about it.
Friend Cosgrove, of the Natchi-
toches indicator, suggests that
our police jury cultivate a knowl-
edge of the subject of quarantine
and genteel manner of dealing
with it. But we are reconciled to
his Gliding, as he starts out by adj
hitting an Affirmative and negative
side to the subject.
