AS will be seen by an advertisement
in this weeks paper, Judge Ludeling
proposes to address the people of this
parish at Monroe the 10th, and at
louisville on the 18th.
Judge Lude]ing addressed the people
Of Concordia on the oath. Over there
he devoted his remarks to a review OF
tho decision OF the u. 8. Supreme
Court in tho railroad suit, and to a crit
icism of Con. Kings claims to citi-
zenship in Louisiana. What he will
talk to the people Of Ouachita about is
something more than we can we'll i'm
agine.

We copy with sorrow inexpreesible,
from the Claiborne Guardian, the an
nouncement Of the death OF Mr.. A.
Mechanic, of Homer. He and the
writer were boys together, and all the
tender rccollections Of boyhood are re-
called by the announcement of his
death. OF other men, dead, we might
say something; of this man nothing,
at present, but we give the poor tribute
of silence and tears, and we believe
that no tribute we could offer to his
memory would crafty him more, wers,
he now living. His wife and children,
much as they have reason to mourn,
are not, we hope, more sorrow stricken
than are we.

Democratic Nominees for Congress.


Col. John g. Young, wearied with
travel and hoarse from labor, filled his
appointment at the Court House last
Tuesday night. Judge R.W. Richard
son presided. A full house greeted
and did him honor. A man of fine
physique, graceful carriage and happy
utterance, he fixed attention in rising
and kept it for two hours In an elabo-
rate and exhaustive summation of the
issues dividing the country, and of the
purposes and hopes Of all contendfng
parties in the future legislation of
Congress.
The finances were thoroughly dis
cussed, the iutricacies Of the system
lucidly examined and its burdensome
tendencies gla-ingly expo led. The
levees and their rebuilding by the
general government will be as much
an object and aim Of his service as any
Republican could promise or expect.
The Pacific Railroad will have in him
a friend and champion, and his best
efforts will be used to secure for 1t
u<AS4OsSosA 0ASs e&A1A ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Col. Young is a Democrat squarely
on the platform, and the old banner
looks bright in his hands. He is fully
alive to the Importance of securing the
next House of Representatives, and is
determined to give the enemy no
quarter, avoid no exertion and seek no
rest during the remainder Of the cam
vass, in the belief that If energy aud
work will call the voter to his duty
that atbe success Of the ticket in this
district Is beyond . peraivsnture. He
LEFT for Farmeiville Wednesday,. J
Gen. King, after addressing the peo-
pie of this parish and of Union last
week, was called away to the parishes
on the Mississippi. He spoke at
Waterproof on the 5th, at Kinks Ferry
and Sicily Island ON the day following.
A dispatch from Rayviile received
yesterday informs US that Gen. King
addressed the people of that parish
Wednesday, and yesterday he was to
have spoken at Bastrop.
1t will be seen that our candidates
for Congress are not idle.

The Withdrawal of the Parish
pickets at the parish line ON the rail-
road, at Bayou Lafourche, necessitated
tho placing of a quarantine guard there
by the city. The point is now closely
guarded by special guard sent out by
Monroe, who will remain ON duty
until the quarantine is finally raised.

1B Monroe is still free of yellow
fever; nor have we heard of a we'll
established case of the disease, as yet,
nearer than Delhi, 81 miles distant.
The strictest quarantine regulations
continue TO be enforced, however, and
ingress is denied to all who are unable
to show they are not from infected
districts. This is eminently proper
and wise. 1t is too late, now, to relax
our vigilance. In few days,we hope,
this may be done safely, and the
worthy sentinels of our city's health
released from their disagreeable duties.

More Money.

Hard times remain with the people,
while the few moncy-lords call for re-
sumption, and continue to demand un-
reasonable interest on their money.
The financial policy Of the government
does not meet the wants Of the people,
and should at once undergo a radical
change. The people must have money
enough to do the business Of the coun-
try, or great suffering must follow the
pro&tration Of business. Thousands Of
honest, working people Of this
country are now living on less than
half ratioDs, and how they vill'he able
to pass through the Winter is ques-
ton almost too serious to be asked. IF
the government is in any way at fault in
this matter, it should at once undo
what it has done wrong, and do speedi-
ly what may be demanded to put all
things right. and thus call harmony
out Of confusion. The groenback dol
lar was good enough to pay the soldiers
with-so thought the money lords dur
Ing the war--and it is good enough to
pay these men Of case with. Give us
more money = B0vs in Blue.
