THE RoLL.-On our first page we pub
lish list of those who were either pres
ent or have since declared their approval
of the Firemen's Hall meeting Of Satur-
! day last, taken under n resolution of
that body. Tho list is very imperfect,
from the fact that owing to the crowded
condition Of tho hall and tho excessive
heat many left before their names could
be registered. If any then, have been
left off, they will be added in our next
ISSUE if they will toward their names to
us. On the list as at present printed,
! there are twelve or fifteen names of per-
sons who were not present at the meet
ing but who have authorized rs to ap-
pend them as endorsing to the fullest
| extent the action of the Democratic-Con-
sentative party as taken at Firemen's
; Hall.
A perusal of this list will speedily dis
| close where the great body of the intelli-
gence, wealth and influence OF tho Par
| ish stands. 1t " i'll show to the BATON
Rouge Convention that the action of the
body that met at Firemen's Hall on last
Saturday was by the people, and that
| the delegates then and there appointed,
and they alone, represent the people of
! West Fe]iciana. They como not from
any one corner or locality of the Parish,
but from every quartcr--north, south,
east & west-they speak the voice of the
Parish.

nsW Eliza Pinkston is returned
by a New York Herald reporter,
who pens her portrait as the new
ly-wedded partner of stout Mis-
sissippi darkey's home and heart.
The Herald man obtained her
sworn statement to the effect that
she was bribed to appear before
the Louisiana returning board,
and that her being brought in on
sofa was a ridiculous piece of
ioolery, and that John Sherman
and other repub lean visiting
a e'men knew it, though the Dem
ocrats were for the time mystifed
and imposed on. She was prom
ised five hundred dollars, but only
received fifty dollars, the balance
remaining in the hands of Brewster,
OF the returning board.

HALT j.!

Don't ride so fast gentlemen. Stop
while; get down and look at tho animal
you arc riding, and consider where it is
carrying you to. Is there not II frightful-
ly strong resemblance between it and the
foundered steed once ridden by the radical
leaders of this parish! To our view, the
resemblance IS very striking. 70 our
good friends who have chosen apparent
ly, Owe trust only apparently to mount
this broken down jade, we would say
pause, halt, get down and take another
view of your animal; consider whittier
he is bearing you, and see if you don't.
upon more mature reflection, conclude to
unsaddle and give up the tip. The jour
ney from tho ranks Of the Democratic
one, beset with many difficulties and is
rarely if ever accomplished with success.
If there is any one spectacle more pain
full and discouraging than another, it is
that which reveals Il brave. virt,lous and
Intelligent people III u state Of division
or separation when the interests of the
people are at stake and are thus placed
j.
We have too much confidence in the
probity and intelligence of the gentlemen
who have withdrawn themselves from
the old party, to entertain for one mo-
nent the idea that their action is any
| thing more than the result of imprndent
impulsiveness. Our high esteem and re-
gard for them, one and all, inspires this
advice. They are few and the ovcrwlelm-
ing sentiment of the Democrats and
Conservatives is against. them. They
have all to lose by their coursc,-noth-
ing to gain. The Democratic Cons csva-
tive party has very little to lose Gunner
ically) in their de fiction; but the inte,li-
gent people of our parish should lie q unit
Oh all questions etlecting the general
weai.~ We counsel moderation, prudence
and serious reflection.
The Delnocratic-C Con sentative party has
no concessions to make, but the other
party may return to tho ranks, it seems
to lis, without surrendcring any principle.
Hence we say gentlemen, get down and
take q view of your stccd. Ii you don't
you will got cleft"
