A special dispatch to the DEMOCRAT from
Shreveport contains some highly interesting
information. 1t fully corroborates the state
ment lately made to the country by the citi-
zens of Caddo parish, that the Caledonia riot
was the result Of q deliberately planned
scheme to get possession of the ballot boxes.
even If murder was necessary in order to
accomplish this object. number OF the
conspirators have confessed and have made
aflidavits charging thai the plot was conoocted
nv the white leaders OF the Caddo negroes.
Whitehurst, one Of the negro leaders, is now
on his way to the city to ties. fy to these facts

The Ohio man is coming To the front again.
For eighteen months all the best places have
been reserved for citizens of the Buckeye
State, and the Washington politicians are de-
termined that they shall not get left In 1880
A telegram states that the slate for the next
presidential election has been made up, and 1t
bears as the Democratic candidate the name
of Senator Thurman, and as the Republican,
John Sherman. SO Ohio is provided for in
any event, But the people at large have
something to say about the next presidential
nominees, and it is safe to predict that when
they are heard from in their conventions the
slate made by the W Washington politicians will
be found to be very badly smashed.

A Famous Old Song.

1t may not be generally known
that the author of the verses, "'Tls
Said That Absence Conqners Love, "
was a native of Charleston-tred- :
erick William Thomas, born there
in 1911. He went TO live in Gins
cinnati in 1880. Possibly many
readers would like to possess the
full text of a song that, thirty years
ago, was sung in many lands, or is
vet occasionally to be heard from
the lips of aged spinsters and de-
caycd bachelors who feed their
fancies upon the ashes OF the past.
And here it is:
''Tis said that absence conquers love,
But oh! believe it not;
I've tried, alas its power to prove,
But thou art not forgot:
Lady. though fate has bid us pant,
Yet still thou art as dear
AS fixed IN this devoted heart
AS when clasped thee here.
81 plunge into the busy crowd,
And smile TO hear thy name;
And vet, as il thought aloud,
rhey know me still the same;
And when the wine cup passes round.
| toast some other fair;
But when | ask my heart the sound,
Thy name is answered there.
"And when some other name learn,
And try to whisper love,
Still will my heart to thee return,
Like the returning dove.
In vain! | never can forget
And would not be forgot,
For must hear the same regret
Whate'er may be my lot.
.sE'en as the wounded bird will seek
Its favOrite bower to die,
So, lady! would hear thee speak
And yield my parting sigh.
'Tis said that absence cOnQuers love,
But oh believe it not;
I've tried. alas! its power to prove,
But thou art not forgot"
