A PRoposED Big CANAL The
scheme Of river line connecting
Cincinnati with the Chesapeake and
Ohio, via Newport and the south
shore Of the Ohio river, has been re-
vived under new charters as tue New
port and Maysvilie and Maysyitle
and Big Sandy. AS the president,
Alfred Gather. one of the leading
spirits of the Adams Express Com
pany, is not n n an of straw, but one
of the most energetic and influential
capitalists OF the West, there is now
a strong probability that the Chesa-
peake and Ohio will end somewhere
else than against stone wall, and
that Cincinnati will have direct COM
munication with Underwater, by the
shortest line yet attained. It is now
100 years or more since Washington
had the sagacity to predict the Erie
Canal, and to urge his fellow Virgin
ians to make a chain Of water i'm
provements across the mountains to
the navigable waters of the Ohio.

COMMUNICATION.

Mr.. ED1ToR-
[ agree with the writer in the last
DEMOCRAT that the compensation TO
members of the Legislature is much
too great. But is it necessary to
call convention to reduce the COM
pensation? The Legislature, at its
last session, should have done that.
1t is true this Parish was not repre-
sented, but our Senator could have
introduced the measure in the Sen
ate. All needful amendments to the
present Constitution can be made
direct by the people, which is much
better than having a convention,
which may not do what the people
approve, but what, for the good there
may be in it, will vote for its adop-
ton. The better may be too great,
yet rather than have the reassem-
bling Of the convention, the people
would vote for it. Much the best
way to get the wishes of the people
is to present each important measure
separate and distinct. No voting in
the dark. Would not thousands vote
yea or nay without ever reading the
new Constitution Separate meas
ures are more apt to be read by the
people and discussed. Every neces-
sary and important change can be
made by amendments. Let the Leg.
islature begin with themselves; then
reduce the number of offers, and
their salaries and the perquisites,
fees of clerks and sheriffs, notaries
etc. All this can be done by the
Legislature, very soon. The last
Legislature fell far short of it's prop
er Observation-Disclosures, reform and
economy should have been their first
acts. hope a move will be made
as soon as it meets in January, 1878

KELLoGG.-The most obnoxious
man to the people Of Louisiana that
the Radical party ever gave emf
nencc to is the man whose name
heads this article. The great lead
ers Of the United States Senate have
outraged all decency by voting this
scurvy political hummer a Senator
from Louisiana for six years. But
we are assured by the New Orleans
Democrat that while he was being
voted seat as Senator by Radical
Senate, Attorney Genera Ogden was
engaged in preparing information for
a Grand Jury to substantiate the IT,
tie of that eminent carpet-bagger To-
a cell IN the Louisiana Per;tentiary.
Nothing would please the people of
this State more than to have Kellogg
serve them six years in the p, hiten-
tiary, instead of having him misrep-
resent them in what was once re.
spectacle body. We would like to
see Kellogg, Wells, Anderson, Casa
nave, anal good many others that
have been plunlcring aad robhing
the State, under Colonel James, with
a convict jacket on, building rail
roads. Wouldn't it he serving them
rlght?- Miuden Democrat.

TRANSIENT TROUBLES.

Most of US have had troubles all
our lives, and each day has brought
all the evil that we wished to endure.
But If We were asked to recount the
sorrows of our lives, how many could
we remember? How many worthy to
be remembered or mentioned? To.
days troubles look large, but week
hence they will be forgotten aud
hurled out ofsight.
eff you would keep book, and
every day put down the things that
worry you, and see what becomes of
them it would be a benefit to you.
You allow 4 thing to annoy you, Just
as you allow fly to settle on you
and plague you; and you lose your
temper Tor rather get it; for when
men are surcharged with temper they
are said to have lost IT'D and you
justify yourselves for being thrown
off your balance by canse which you
do not trace out. But if you would
see what it was that threw YOU of
your balance before breakfast, and
put it down in little book, and fol-
low it out, and ascertain what be-
comes of it, you would see what a
fool you were in the matter"
The art of forgetting is blessed
art, but the art of overlooking is
quite as important. And if we
should take time to write down the
origin, progress, and outcome of a
few of our. troubles, it would make
US so ashamed Of the fuss we make
over them, that we should be glad to
drop such things and bury them at
once in eternal forgetfulness.
Life is too short to be worn ont in
petty worries, fretting, hatreds and
vexations. Let US Danish all these,
and think on whatsoever things are
pure, and lovely, and gentle, and Of
good report Exchange.

In two Parishes accord;no

In two Parishes, according to
reliable information, the State Tax
Collectors are providing snugly for
their Parish Journals, wherein the
lists of Delinquent Tax Payers have

twenty cents to be charged and col.

which is very liberal to the printer,

Monday, and it is to be hoped that
they will come down at once, and in
dead earnest, to their work of prom
ised reform, and that we shall have
reform practically. Let them re-

change in the way of reform is a
change of office holders, and very
few people here seem to be satisfied
with so cheap and easy change.
