Dear Sir-Cotton picking is in its
glory and the farmers are using every
effort III their power to save it. There
will not be as much cotton made as was
anticipated, the return of the cotton
worm having cIit itsshort Of IL full crop.
The corn and potato crops are much
better than last year.
There is Il great deal Of excitement in
regard to the coming election. Itseems
hard matter to select suitable men to
fill the Offices necessarily bound to .be
/ filled. The democratic party i'll this
/ parish is somewhat shaken from its orig.
inal snli,iity, and it will require every
aeflortin onr power TO bring it back ta
it's original form. Better selections
could not have been made than those d

nominees, especially that OF George H
4 Wells.

ways democratic Radicalism as a partr
is not known to exist in this parish. I
requires good material at the head o

THE effort to SO shape pubic
opiuion as to force the nomination
ri Gen. Grant for the presidency
/ y the next republican convention
while persistent in certain sections
of the county, has totally fallea
in developing the enthusiasm that
was expected, and so far as the de-
.,o.r.f.v ARE concerned has source
TX attracted u passing notice. LII
this connection, II brief retrospect
may not be uIinterestIng. w hen
Gen. Grant became the of1clal
bead of the republican party IL
1865. they had PA of the 2S5 votes
of the electoral college; III 1876,
after eight wears Of liis aGlmlnlstra-
ton. the republican vote haG been
so reduced TINT it was necessary
to perpetrate the most gigantic
frauds in order TO save the presl-
tlencv to his successor. TO state
the case differently, when Gen,
Grant took the leadership OF the
republican pnrtY ii had rs per cent.
Of the electoral college; when he
retired the republicans had but AZ
per cent. of the college, and they
were obliged to steal the votes OF
three states TO save the govern
.melit from passing into the hands
of the democracy. The popular
vote shows nearly the samecilanges
from the beginning Of Gen. Grant :
administration to It's end. In 1850
the republican electors for presi,
dent and vice-president received
3.U15,071 votes i'll total ot o,L24,-
G84: in 1876 they received 1885,
295, in total of {, All, l3G; or, III
other words, when Gen. Grant was
first eiectedthe republican strength
was SD per cent. OF the whole poll
and when his successor WAS elected
it was 48 per cent. The same pro
portia,lute losses are found III boil
houses of congress. In the popu-
lar branch of the national leglsliI,
ture III 1869, the republicans had
SIS percent, 6nd in 1876 it WAS but
AS per cent. In the senate, the loss
TO republicans WAS still greater
la 1869 the republicans Ind 90 on
of 10 senators; in 1877 they had
80 out of rs; OF, 81 per cent. whei
Gram was first inaugurated presl-
dent, and 81 per cent. when he re
tired. When the uext senate or
gnnizes the republicans Will haVs
hut Al per celtt. In 1859, out O
the 81 states, 2T of them had re.
publican governors; after the cleo
tiou Of 1876, out OF 38 states bu
Is had republican .t.xt.cutiVes; or
ut tile beginning of Gen. G,asnta
term the republicans had rs pc
cent. of the state administrations
and when he retired. it had Al pc

past, the democracy have little K
