rHE ..rIMEs," DONKEY.

The New York Times tells OF a kicking
mule used in the play Of the "Forty
Thieves sat the Eureka, Nevada, thea
tor" As related by the Times his mule
ship clicked the stufing' out Of the stage
and everybody about it, including the big
fiddle. 1t further alleges that the audience
was set into a great roar, the miners offer
ing heavy odds that he could out-kick any
mule in the State. The story winds up
with the assurance that the Eurekans are
enthusiastic to give the mule a benefit.
All Of which, we beg to inform the Times,
shows that Eurekans are an appreciative
people. They know and enjoy a good thing
when they see it. In comparison with
some Of the lame duck actors sent out from
New York they prefer a mule show every
time. We wonder, though, if it wasn't the
reflection Of the Times editors own ears
that suggested this mule story. No such
incident ever occurred here.

The POOL LINE.

The owners and managers of the
New Orleans and Red River Trans.
portation Company are again prepar
ing to "monopolize" the good will
and best business interests of the
people of the Red River Valley, and
seem to be imbued with the right
sort of business pluck and DISPOSE
tion to made this monopoly" last
ing one and favored by the people,
whom they are striving to serve, and
at the same time to make an honest
living and derive fair interest on
their large capital. The stock of
this Company, though large, is not
owned by spectators and sharks and
hawked in the streets, but is repre-
sented and owned by the men who
do the work of the Company, COM
mand their boats, their clerks, and
many of their other officers. They
have '.pooled" together, for self-pro-
lection and in the interest of home,
all their hard earnings of long years,
and ask to be judged purely by their
merits and the tonnage facilities
which they offer to shippers. Their
card for the season of 1880 will
be found in to-day's DEMOCRAT, and
We call the special attention thereto
Of everybody.

-DEpUrY Sheriff w. E. Hall, Of
Bell County, Texas, reached here on
Thursday night last on the Silver
City, and had as prisoners Jacob and
David Gunter, charged with the muir
der of Calvin Bass. They were
lodged in our Jail, there being no
Jail in Vernon Parish. It will be re
membered that the killing Of Bass
by the Gunters was under peculiar
circumstances, and that Jacob Gun
ter is an old and respectable citizen
of Rapides, and withal good man,
and that both he and his son were
tried in Vernon Parish, were found
guilty and sentenced for term of
years to the Penitentiary, but made
their escape. The trial of the Gun
tiers, at the time, created great deal
of interest, they were zealously and
ably defended by Col. R. A. Hunter,
warm and life long friend of the
older Gunter, and bills of exception
were filed in their cases, went up to
the Supreme Court, and that tribunal
sustained Col. Hunters exceptions
and sent the case back for a new tri-
al. We mention these facts in jus
tice to the prisoners, the oldest OF
whom we have favorably known for
years, and as this matter has to com.
mence de movo we bespeak in their
favor suspension Of public opinion,
and let their trial be on its merits
and in the interests of pure justice.

The last Legislature, if for moth
ing else than the abolishing of the
Returning Board, deserve immortal
credit and honor, and their changes
in the Election laws must add anoth-
err chaplet to their worth. Let our
people remember, that for five con
secutive elections, the Commission
ers Of Election were chosen by the
Registrar, and that here all the Reg.
istrars, except in 1872, were stran-
gers to us, importations out of the
New Orleans Custom House, and
that they appointed the Com mission.
ers to suit themselves, never once
giving us half a showing, and then
if these fellows did not cook up the
returns rightly, they had to pass
through the fingers of the Cheif
cooks of the Returning Board, and
as a matter of course we we're cheat
ed and counted out. Well, this is
all now changed, and our last Legis-
lature made the change, and we now
endorse that change, and ask our
people if it be not a good change, a
reform and an honest changer We
have now gentleman, an honest
man, one of our home people, as
Registrar, and even to him is not
given the appointment of Election
Commissioners. That power is now
delegated to the Police Jury, and
they will, at their October meeting,
appoint the Election Commissioners,
and last, though not least, the Re.
turning Board is abolished, defunct,
and can no more do the voting for
us. Surely our people must return
thanks to our Legislators for this
great boon, for this restoration OF
privileged rights, and forever be
easy that their votes will now be
counted as cast, and not as the Re-
turning Board will it.

A GREAT CAPTURE" The negro,
Cotton King, who murdered a white
man in Limestone County, Texas,
over q year ago, has been captured,
and recognized by parties from Tex
as as the right man." so writes "We
the People" about a notorious scoun-
drel and negro butcher, who lies in
our Parish prison, and as in duty
bound we will briefly tell all about
him. He was Chief of police, under
the Union (2) Governor of Texas,
Davis, whilst the county of Lime
stone was under Martial Law, and
as such spread himself in numbering
white men. He murdered in cold
blood, in the broad glare of day, no
less than five white men, all good
citizens and men Of property, stands
indicted for these five murders, be-
sides is indicted as the principal in
wantonly burning the Courthouse of
that county.
He was Swallowed here for several
days by Mayor Paul, to whom had
been made known the horrid facts by
Deputy Sheriff Neal Davidson, and
vas accordingly arrested, and lodg-
ed in Jail. We hope that Mayor
Paul and Deputy Sheriff Neal David
son won't be considered as Mexicani-
ling the country, because they have
arrested this x-chieftqin of that
same Radical party, which wants to
rule again in Louisiana.

SINCE our last the appearance Of
Yellow Fever in New Orleans, has
been authenticated, and there can be
no doubt that the dread plague is
really there, but not as yet in an cpl.
demic form. Thus far some twenty
five deaths of that malady have &C.
CURED, which causes general con-
sternation among the unacclimated
and strangers, and hence big exc.
dus has taken place. Shreveport
has declared her quarantine from the
Goth, and permits no New Orleans
boats to touch her wharves; and Gal
weston has taken the same course.
We believe the excitement here
about it is premature, still we think
early and instant precautionary and
sanitary measures should be taken
to prepare for the worst. Back
yards, sinks and premises in Town
should be extra cleansed, and that at
once, and above all disinfectants
should be freely used. One of the
best and very cheapest is the free
use of coperas in privies, sinks and
other receptibles Of filth, and we
urge all housekeepers to start at this
at once. A communication on this
grave subject is published elsewhere,
which we commend to the attention
Of all.

LA RENAISSANCE.

The revived Organ of all the con-
solidated fragments, soreheads, pap
suckers and haters of Democracy,
has changed its name and has been
re-christened awe the Peoples" and
in typographical appearance makes
a neat and decent appearance, giving
practical proof that the new young
man, at its helm, is good and prac-
tical typo; and right here "to be
plain" and to stop all such false
ideas of his, let US assure him, in all
sincerity and candor, that we intend
"to allow him to attend to his own
AFFAIRS" and that he is one thousand
miles from the truth, when he ro-
mantically asserts that we care
prompted by jealousy" and that we
"would lead the community to be-
lieve that we are as pure as spark
ling water" Nor do we believe he
has come here "to destroy the inter
est and welfare of the country
But, to put it plain, once for ALL,
and not in vanished romance, we
will tell him, as the Editor of the re.
vived Organ, and through journalistic
courtesy acknowledged him as such,
that we have heard it thunder in Ra-
pides, when he was in his cradle, that
we know who are the real leaders
and master spirits of the new conspi-
racy just now organizing in Rapides
under the furnished, but yet ram
pant folds of the Returning Board
Chieftain, that we have met this arch
enemy of the people Of Rapides on
many fields, in an hundred Skin
mishes; we all here know his tactics,
his pluck, his iron-clad determination
to yet injure and damage us, and
that we are now more than ready and
determined to renew our allegiance
to this people of Rapides, and con.
tend for our rights with renewed en-
ergy and good will. We wish to pre-
serve these rights as partially res
tored to us in the election of 1876 in
our State, and do not mean that the
old regime of carpet-baggery and
scalawagism, which nearly swamped
this fair State, shall ever again be
under the iron heel of t.uat same old
party. That is what we are driving
at, that is the reason that we "can't
quit" and that is the reason why we
don't intend TO quit, so long as we
control the editorials of this Jour
nal, and so long as we are the humble,
but bold and outspoken advocate and
organ of the true people of this Par
ish. And once for all, let the new
young man understand, that our
aims tower above personal jealousy,
or even bad wishes To him "a nm jndi.
vidual, for we are fighting, or rather
preparing to fight, the old "Iliad of
all our woes" and that for the love
Of our dear people, our home and our
glorious old party, and have already
enlisted for a long term. Let him, as
the organ of the party here in Rap
ides he has assumed editorship of,
meet US in fair guage of battle on the
issues of the hour, and let personal
romances for the nonce be eschewed,
and the people of old Rapides
will decide between us as Journalists
and party champions.
