mDIED-of inanition,'' would properly De
the epitaph of many of those oranges thai
have become extinct during the past YER.
Our enemies use the fact of their demise as
an argument against ns-but in truth it ar
gues simply this: The ignorance of the ma
jority of these scattered members regarding
tln principles and objects of the order, and
the Importance that they should be taught
them. Economy is Il desirable virtue TO
practice. but is it economy to go stumbling
along with only q taper at the risk OF having
that faint light totally extinguished, when
by the expenditure of a few dollars we
could obtain fir newspapers and lee
turers, and be flooded with the permanent
steady light of knowledge? Take warming,
We over-economical, inactive oranges, and
lose no time in casting out from among you
the viper of greed. indolence, and Ignorance
as regards the order.-E1.

To-day at noon the Republican
parish convention will assemble at the
Court House to elect delegates to the
Senatorial convention which is called
to meet in st James next Saturday.
In most of the wards the election of
delegates to the parish convention
took place on the 18th, in accordance
with the direction of the executive
committee, but in the first and second
wards the meetings were deferred,
III the former until Thursday evening
and in the latter Sunday evening.
The postponement in the second ward
was due to the slim attendance and
to disturbance created by some of
the same parties who made themselves
notorious by similar tactics in that
ward during the campaign of 1876.
Sunday evening, however, there was
a lai ge number or voters present, and
the malcontents were signally defeat
ed, fully ninety five per cent. of the
meeting favoring the delegation
headed by Sheriff Jones. In the fifth
and sixth walds misunderstanding
also arose, and resulted in the holding
of two meetings and the selection of
two sets of delegates. The differ
enees among the Republican voters of
these wards hinge primarily upon the
candidacy of Representative Hill and
lis brother Aaron, who are under
stood to be aspirants for the positions
of Senator and Sheriff respectively.
There will probably be lively contest
in the convention as to which delega-
ti0ns shall be admitted from the fifth
and sixth wards, and in case of tie
exclusion of the Hill men, it is con
sidered probable they will bolt, organ
ize another convention, elect dele
CATION to the Senatorial convention
and in short effect q separate party
organization which will eventually be
brought into co. operation with the
Greenback and Laboring Mans move
ment.

looking hopefully forward to a favor
able season for sugar making. Our
advices from the seventh and eighth
wards are to the effect that the cot
ton crop is IN very fine condition and
promises heavy yield. No worms
have yet appeared and little appre-
hension need be felt concerning them
at this late day. At some localities
on upper New River the crops have
suffered from drouth, but there are
exceptional cases.

Dick Brown, slippery character
of the colored persuasion, was allot-
ted quarters in the parish Jail last
| week for shooting at Henry Smith
with intent to kill. The quarrel oc-
cured at the Ashland plantation,
sixth ward, and grew out of dispute
concerning horse race. Brown and
Smith had bet SO on the race, bnt the
latter backed out for some reason and
induced the stakeholder to return
him his money. When Brown learned
of this, he sought Smith and deman
dcd the wealth. Smith declined to
tlisgorge, wllereupon the warlike
Brown dre8 forth his trrsty revolver
aud banged away three times at his
fleeing antagonist. Smith got around
the corner of house without losing
any time, and was fortunate enough
to escape without further damage
than hole through the waistband of
his pantaloons. The bloody minded
slootist was straightway arrested and
taken before Justice Cole, who
heard the evidence of several wit
nesses aud committed accused to Jail
to await trial. This Dick Brown is
the same individual who became
security for the appearance at the
last term of the District Court of one
Frederick Dalcom, also accused of
shooting with intent 20 kill, who
jumped his bail and left the parish.
Brown made oath that he was worth
$50 over and above his liabilities,
whereas he is said To own no property
beyond limited wardrobe of wear
ing apparel and a few other personal
effects worth probably SIS or such a
matter. If by any chance the State
should fail to secure his conviction
on the shooting charge, Brown stands
tirst-rate chance of going up the
river for perjury.
