tnre is called, and Gov. Nicolls has
issued his proclamation to that ef-
feet. So now, after all the hue
and cry about reform, our Solons
make an extra grab at the States
money bags, with about as little
modesty as characterized their am
maculate predecessors. If there
was nothing else,~-this h'tle-game
lis enough to disgust the people of
the State with their Assembly, aud
convince them that nothing short
of such change as Constifu
tional Convention will effect, can
be of one iota of benefit to them.
There is no excuse for this extra
session. Last year there was, but
this time it is caused by sheer neg
lect, or worse, purposed intent
Now they will transact business
that should have been attended to
a month ago, when they were fool:
ing over q lot of amendments that
are not wanted, and which will be-
annulled by an overwhelming vote
when submitted.

The Eagles Washington special
of March 9th, says a we'll known
Massachusetts politician. who has
been identified with the Conkling-
Chandler element of the Republi-
can party for many years, called up
on the President, and, after con-
versing on general topics for some
time, said to the President that he
hoped he would change the policy
of his administration, as it was
working very badly, and would, il
persisted in, certainly kill the Re-
publican party. To which the Pres
dent rejoined that he considered the
Republican party practically dead
when he entered the White House,
and he believed that his policy is
the only thing that will infuse life
into the party again.

CoLFAX VS.. COMMON SENSE.

We publish below the'act incor-
poratipg the town of Colfax, and
in this connection will refer to one
or two matters of general interest
to the people of Grant parish.
Colfax is regarded as the place
for the permanent location of the
parish seat of Grant, aud the only
question thus far considered by our
police jury seems to have been the
securing of sufficient ground upon
which to erect the necessary pub
lie buildings, without considering
the infeasibility of ever having a
town worthy the name 80 long as
it is located upon the land belong
ing to single estate. The fact that
small farms and small town prop
critics are the only surety of the
improvement of country or town
has cut no figure in the case. In
deed, some would even urge the
building of court house in this
place, while less than FIVE acres of
ground for scope of three miles
is located upon one estate! Some
will refer to the pitiful donation
proposed to be made, as if town
conld be built upon fifteen acres of
land! 1t is all very we'll for the
Calhoun heirs to secure a town on
their property which will increase
its value hundred fold in FIVE or
ten years with SO beggarly a dopa-
ton. Other men have given ten
times as much and thought it a
most profitable investment. Fifty
acres would scarcely be too much
on this occasion, and if only fifteen
or twenty acres are to be given, let
the police jury require the sale to
the parish of fifty acres more, at u
stipulated price, and let every acre
Of it be sold separate and singly,
in order that every citizen have an
opportunity to purchase a town
lot If this is not done, Lbe pro-
mulgators of this scheme to enrich
an individual at the expense of the
multitude will most. certainly be
defeated, as they should. Let tue
calhoun heirs evince their gener-
osity and quit making promises, if
they want the town. Liberallty is
sure method of overcoming all
opposition, and If it is not shown
no favor need be expected. There
lis no absolute necessity of locating
the parish seat at Colfax, nor will
Grant pfaish be swindled in order
to have 1t done. The site is very
desirable one for the purpose, but
common sense will prevail-aeainst
an imposition.

porating the town, .which'was.ap-
proved on the 6sh day of March
and promulgated the next day: T.

THE CURSE OF A RUINED WOMAN.
'No man will ever prosper who has the
curse of a ruined woman upon him. The
murderer of the body can lie tried and
executed by the worlds laws, but the
murderer of the soul is tried by Heavens
law, and the execution is as sure as
divine justice" Aunt Betsy said this as
she folded the white hands of a beautiful
girl, and put white flowers and green
leaves about the marble cold forehead. .
There was a tiny babe beside tho girl
mother. The house was hushed, and
there was mourning such as few know.
Half glad that the mother and child were
dead, the rest of the family must perform
the last sad Office of burial, and bear
the family shame. A haunted house ;. A
ruined home God the architect and
man tho spoiler! The curse is there,
and the destroyer cannot escape.

that the number of delegates for a

seveuteeu.ninths OF the whole NUN

indications the patriots band. the

ton from New Orleans will NUM-
her fully eighty which would make

stand. BIT to l02 for the radical

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health. Q
=. AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than q quarter Of a century, and
have obtained a worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are so
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
cvade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baftied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
children. By their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inflamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
it from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
