IN MENlORIAM.

1uoEo IL aNOCu0T n0W-"6O0 grave III INC
little cemetery at Vernon. One of Jackson's
best and bravest boys is no more. The cir
cu1nstances of J. Frank Aliens untimely
death are sad and affecting. In tho morn
ing he was in the bloom of life, cheerful,
strong and healthy in the evening he was
mortally stricken and soon ceased to live.
J. Frank Allen was born in Ouachita
Parish, La, Oct. 80, 1858, and moved to
Jackson Parish in March, 1866. Here he
resided with his mother during his boy
hood, and until within q short time of his
death in Morehoue Parish, Nov. l, 1873.
He may have said to have been reared in
raised in our midst who was more courte-
Gus, affable and obliging. He was always
ready to help friend and would go any
length to further the cause of what he
thought to be the welfare of his friends
and country. It was this disposition that
suddenly brought an end to his existence.
turbulent negro in his neighborhood had
been making violent threats against the
white people, and Frank and two other
companions were selected to go to him,
and warn him to change his course. In
the gallery of this negroes house, while
asking to see him, he was murderously shot
down. He died for the peace of his COM
munity. He died for Louisiana.
During the short time that he fingered
he did not complain of his hard lot to die
so young, but only regretted he could not
see his loved ones at homo once moro on
earth. He felt that his death would not be
in vain and he made no lamentations.
His body was brought from Morohouse
for interment at Vernon. The day of his
burial was sad and beautiful soft Indian
summer-many of our best citizens came
out to testify their respect for his memory.
The ladies especially were mourners, and
they strewed flowers over his coffin and
wept over all that was left of our once
noble and gallant boy.
Appropriate remarks were made by Capt.
E. E. Kidd, who, at their conclusion, by
request, placed within the coffin, lady's
delicate glove-a tribute of one of More
houses fairest daughters. It was her re-
quest that it should be buried with him.
Mr.. G. Ives Of the M. E. Church performed
in an impressive manner the burial SER
vice, and after the grave was filled and the
little mound of earth smoothed over, with
sad hearts we all departed to engage again
in the uncertain struggle of life.
GLOW sleep the brave who sink rest
By all their country's wishes bfest!
When spring with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck the hallowed mould,
She there shall dress q sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod,
BY fairy bands their knell is rung,
BY forms unseen their dirgc is sung,
There honor comes a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell a weeping hermit there"

For the past week the river has been
slowly but steadily falling, and is now
lower than it has been at any time
within the past six months. Boats,
up and down, find trouble in navigat-

they seem to be equal to the emer-

In the case of Secretary OF the Common
wealth, Public Printer, &C., the iorcible
adjustcrs entered the field with candidates
in opposition to those nominated by the
Conservatives, and in every instance the
forcible adiusters were beaten. We are
glad to say that Major Hardesty acted and
voted with the party that sent him to the
Legislature.
The victory Of the Conservatives leads US
to hope that something will be done by the
present Legislature in regard to our public
debt that will sever that disturbing ques-
ton from all connection with our State
politics. We can understand why the Radi-
calls should oppose the settlement OF so i'm
portant question. They have no hope of
getting into power while the Conservative
party is united, but if the party that has
saved Virginia should divide on the debt
question by uniting with the wing that is
allowing its feryer to get control OF its pru-
dence and Judgment, the Radicals may
reach the station so long coveted by them

1t will be gratifying to the whole people
OF Virginia to see that movement is being
made in Richmond to honor that brilliant
and war-worn soldier, General Joseph e.
Johnston, with a seat in Congress. The
names attached to paper calling him out are
among the most respectable and influential
in Richmond. General Johnston evinced
more craftsmanship in his agreement with
Sherman, at the the end of the war, than
four-ffths of our Congressman are capable
OF. He comes of talented family, has 4
quick understanding, large culture, ready
utterance, fine presence, and could adapt
himself well to the duties OF q representa-
tive. Let him be elected without n conyen-
ton and by acclamation, for no Virginian
would wish to see General Johnston SUBJ
iected to the ordeal Of convention in COM
petition with tricky politicians.-Lynch-
burg Virginian.
General Johnston is an able man. His
military talents are OF high order, and his
craftsmanship is high too, if we may Judge
by the terms OF surrender he made with
General Sherman OH April Is, 1865, near
Durham's station, North Carolina. General
Johnston is a gentleman Of conservative
views. We are glad to see there is a pros

southerner in the councils Of the Union.
We hope he will be nominated.-W Whining
