The summary OF kilograms as to the ef-
fects Of the late frosts is that, at St. Joseph,
Mich. :"Ail the potatoes, cherries and veg
stables are killed cut. Peaches and straw
berries saved"
AT Niles, Mich: "Wheat is cut severely
apples are injured somewhat"
Dowaglac: Small fruits and grapes
were totally destroyed. Wheat Was not
injured to any extent"
AT Manistee: "The thermometer fell
to 10 degrees below freezing, and present
prospect is that the entire fruit crop Is
destroyed. PeachLuds are frozen stiff"
Sparta, Wis: Corn, potatoes and other
Tai gs Of garden growth were cut down to
the ground"
Indianapolis, Ind: Wheat which had
headed out Is ruined, as also grapes. Beans
young corn, tomatoes, are cut down as by
scythe."
Des Moines, Iowa: "Corn is generally
cut down to the ground but no harm will
be done, but is apt to make the harvest
later. Small grain is uninjured and look
ing well. Specials from different parts of
the State indicate that all the small fruits
are injured"
Dubuque; "Vegeta.ion is seriously IN
jured. Beans, tomatoes, potatoes aud eve.
rylhing wilted to the ground and turned
black; grass troze stiff The valleys and
low lands resemble the path of = fire"
Unfortunate as the work OF the frost
may prove elsewhere, our farmers can
congratulate themselves that they are not
Injured IN the least, aud it also establishes
the fact that othe. localities east Of us are
equally liable and subject to as sudden and
destructive climatic changes.
The record of the year 1916 gives an
unpleasant pre- ;edenl, as being one similar
to the present year; an unusually mild
winter and carly spring WAS followed by
a summer, in every month Of which frust
occurred to the extent that crops andtruits
were almost entirely destroyed. But if
we are to have cold, unfavorable weather
and trosts it is better now, than later when
a reviving will be impossible. Aside from
this cool spell, the indications for boun.
tilul crop are promising, and, what is bet
ter than all, the farmers are all in good
all a.,
anticipate other than prosperous season.

WESTERN ELECTIONS.

Tho elections In Ohio and Indiana,
at first thought to be disastrous for the
Democrats, turn out to be substantial
victories. Ohio, it is true, elects a
Republican Secretary of State, but in
stead of sending to Congress, as the
delegation at present stands, eleven
Republicans and nine Democrats, she
now sends eleven Democrats and nine
Republicans. Indiana sends six DEM
ocrats, six Republicans and one Ma
tional-a gain OF four Democrats-and
elects legislature in which the DEM
ocrats have majority on joint ballot,
which secures the election of a Demo-
cratic u. s. Senator, to succeed Senator
VOORHEES,, who will no doubt succeed
himself.
The deductions are very clear: The
Republican party is going to pieces ;
the Democratic party is "inching
along" toward. its fightful possession
of the American Union, and the
Greenback folly is exploded.
We may add, as postscript, that
Iowa went Republican by an expected
large majority. .I

Intelligence

! Intelligence reached this point,
Monday, that a conflict was impending
between tho whites and blacks in the
parish of, Tensas. The immediate
cause Of the trouble, it appears from a
press dispatch, was the killing Of Capt.
John Peck, a well known and highly
esteemed young man, by tho negroes.
He was, it appears, demonstrating, at
the time, with the negroes upon the
course they were pursuing in draw
ing the color line and was shot down
while addressing them. Capt. Peck
was prominent citizen and Demo-
crat, though not a candidate, and his
murder excited a justifiably bitter and
hostile feeling. An attempt was made
to arrest the murderers, which was re-
sisted with defiance, and as there were
not men enough to execute the process
of the Court, aid was sought from other
parishes.
We know something of the character
aud bearing of the colored people In
the riparian parishes, having been
among them in two political cam
paigns, and know with what patience
the whites have submitted to negro In
science and domination. We know
that these white people, ostensibly
landlords and employers, are in reality
the subjects aud at the mercy of the ignor-
ant negroes who are settled as thick In
those parishes as black-birds in corn
field. The lives and property Of those
white people are never secure. At
every general election reports of wrongs
done by these colored people have
reached this section of the State, and
the blood of the white man has been
more than once aroused to the pitch of
battle itself; still ,prudent counsels have
prevailed, and we hope they will now !;
but it would benefit the State and pro-
mote the cause of civilization If the
coiored people along tho Mississippi
river were taught to know that virtue
and intelligence and not brute force
and Ignorance make country and
exalt a people.

LUDEL1NG's NOMINATION.

Judge Hough, of Concortlia, who was
a prominent candidate for the Radical
nomination for Congress from this dis
trict, in withdrawing his claims, COM
ments rs follows upon the Convention
which nominated Judge Ludeling:
The proper course for Judge Lude-
ling and his friends would have been
to have made no nominations, but to
have postponed the convention to
another time and place where all the
delegates could have attended in per-
son, but instead OF pursuing this course,
they took advantage of the situation,
and then and there, with q few dele
gates present, composed of himself,
sons, nephews, and few friends, and a
few silent, dumb and voiceless kilograms
and letters from selfish and inter-
ested aud unknown persons, which
purported to represent several parishes,
but which in truth and in fact shame
fully misrepresented them, went
through the farce of holding a conven-
ton and nominating the Hon. John I.
Ludeling Of Ouachita parish for the
dong term, and the Rev. A. Fairfax of
Tensas parish for the short term-and
now insist that the action of this con-
vention should be final and binding on
the voters of this district. Comment
upon such proceedings are unnecces-
sary, but considering the prevalence
of the yellow fever and tho quaran-
timing of so many places throughout
the district and the difficulties OF holding
a new convention and the shortness Of
the time intervening before the cleo
ton, I have concluded to withdraw
from the contest, and hope my friends
will realize tho logic of events that
have compelled me thus to act.
