The subject of immigration is occupy
ing the minds of the people OF Missouri,
as it should, but the statement SO often
made for an evil purpose that immigra-
ton has altogether avoided this state.
is not true. There has been, we think,
a steady influx of immigration into
Missouri during the past few years. as
the next census will prove. An il
lustration of this may be found in La
fayette county, where. in 1877, there
were 1906 names on the tax books; in
1878. 8,546 names, and in 1879, $3.50
names. There can be no more ~certair
indication OF a growing population. ant
while at the last census there were but
% 1928 souls in the county. we are conf
dent that the next census will find con.
siderably over $4,000.

original abolitionist, is now so good a
republican that he was president OF the

this does not blind HIM to the unpatrlotic
course of the stalwarts In congress, and
he is brave aud independent enough to
say, ''Rather than see a bigoted, one

SAVANNAH, June GA terrible riot
took place this afternoon at Mcintosh,
Liberty county, a station on the At

within reach; the captain himself
killing one man by running him
through with his sword.

on them, killing four and wounding
many more, and only stopped shoot

WHO WILL GA1NsAY TT ?

The Bossier Banner, a journal edi-
ted by one Of the oldest and most OBJ
servant men in the States makes the
following well-timed remarks. They
are true in every respect, and pccu-
liarly applicable to Baton Rouge just
at this period. ss
We are glad to see that a number
of our business men are thoughly i'm
bued with one of the principles NEIL
toned, among whom arc Messrs.
Cleverius, Brooks, VIM. Garig, and
David and Galig. They are begin
ming to offer inducements to the public
through the Clinton papers. This is
right, gentlemen, keep the ball rolling,
and you will increase the business of
the town, with every advantage in
your favor. OF course "suckers" are
ready everywhere to intercept the
cuctom gained through your liberality
and enterprise, but favorable impress
sions seldom wear off. Hear what the
Banner says:
1t is the duty of every man who
lives in town to use every effort for
it's encouragement and upbuilding.
1t is his own home, and self-interest-
even if he were Indifferent to the
public good-should prompt him to
such a course. To do otherwise is to
attempt suicide In any event, the
man who would persist in OBTAINING
and depreciating his own home must
be sadly blinded to his best interests.
Horace Greeley, in commenting on
this very subject, insisted that if the
town had defects, let the world dis
cover them the best way they could.
If it had advantages let them be put
forward SO prominently that he who
runs may read. Advertise its eluca-
tional facilities, it's healtlful location,
it's suitability for manufacturing and
commercial enterprises, etc. Patron
ize every good and worthy home in
stitution. Encourage merchants to
bring large and varied stocks of
goods to the place by purchasing
whatever is needed from them. Pat
ronize your home newspaper or news
papers by dealing with those who
patronize it. If it is deemed necessary
to deal away tromshome, by all means
buy from those who advertise in your
home paper, for by 50 doing you lend
assistance to a home institution. Re-
ward enterprise and energy whenever
possible, discountenance idleness,
push the habitual croaler in the
background, punish the mischief
maker, foster and encourage every
institution that has for it's object the
elevation of mankind, stand unitedly
upon every worthy project, hope for
great things and in due time success
cannot fail to crown the efforts put
forth,

TO our friend Of the Cwito1ian we T
beg to say that tie Democrat is not
denouncing the liembers of the con-
vention, but has lpersistently defend
ed them, and we .lrc not seeking to
organize a new party, but we are
striving earnestly, to keep the old one
together, and hope to have the help
of the CapitoEGn Yftcr it's sober second
thought.-N. o. Democrat.
Our generous contemporary must
have forgotten It's editorial, entitled
"lIalt" published several days ago.
Still, as the Demycrat has swung into
the old groove again, with Col. E. A.
Burke at the mast head as editor, we
"gently smooth down its ruffled
feathers"
1t appeared last week as if every
prominent papersin the city had leag-
ued together in an effort to bluff the
country members of the Convention,
and with this view we may have been
a little too severe.
The CapitoliaA stands upon this
platform: The Convention is rep
resentative bodyiof the people, and
whatever action 1t takes will be sub
mitted to thenl. Therefore it is
wrong for public'journals to strive to
intimidatc and confuse that body.
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-06-14
that position will be maintained in
the interest of a thorough organiza-
ton Of a system ofpublic education.

that position will be maintained in
the interest Of a thorough organiza-
ton Of a system of public education.
There are no new developments in
connection with our Capital question; !;
but the earnest and patriotic disposi-
ton Of the members of the Conven-
ton convinces us that when action is
taken, the result will he in accord
with the expressed wishes Of the pco-
pie. -
The name of Maj. E. A. Burke has
appeared at the masthead of the
New Orleans Democrat as it's editor
in-chief. We hail with great pleasure
the entrec in the journalistic arena Of
this hard"tighter in the Democratic
phalanx. Maj. Burke, since his
name occupies a conspicuous position
iii the front rank Of the party, has
excited the criticisms and jealousies
that usually stlew the pathway Of
political leadeis. We have closely
watched his course, and oil that we
know of him is that he has devoted
his extraordinary energy and his un-
questioned ability to the deliverance
of Louisiana from Republican su-
premacy. By day and by night, with
heart of steel and the courage Of a
Roman gladiator-by his example and
counsel, he has done gigantic work
for our cause. We may from time to
time differ with him on questions of
policy, and whenever we do, we will
never hesitate to speak out. We be-
lieve, however, that he will uphold
firmly the banner Of Democracy and
that whenever the bugle sounds the.
rally, we will see him bring the
Democrat in the thickest of the fight.
1t is hardly necessary for us to say
that in the hour of need, in unwaver-
ing accord with the convictions that
are engraven in our heart since our
boyhood days, he will find the CAPI-
ToLIAN alongside in the line, there to
receive blows and return them in be-
half of the great constitutional party,
whose principles when truly inter-
preted, are the guiding star of Ameri-
can liberty. H''. ' ''''.''e. Il
We wish Maj. Burke, in his new
undertaking all the success that his
services entitle him to receive at the
hands of our people. We are sure
that under his skillful guidance the
Democrat will become II host in itself
in advocating all measures tending to
the development aud the glory of our
State. More anon.

THE ooNvEyT1oH.

Z
It would be impossible to tell what
the Convention is doing or what it has
done unless .Dne were to take awhole
week to write up, and an entire
newspaper to print his report. There
are some complaints and low MUIR
murings to I've heard coming from
the people, through the press, at what
is termed the ''inactlon Of their dele
gates" W., are disposed to be lenient
with them and give all the time asked,
provided they complete their work
before abjourning. Why the Cor
vention should adjourn over until
next fall if not apparent to us. We
can see no good reason for it. The
people are upon the anxious seat, and,
it is true, are getting somewhat
impatient over what has the appear
ance Of being tardy work and pro-
crastination by the members Of the
Convention, but they do not desire to
have an organic law thrown together
in Q heterogeneous mass, without
order or sense, and hence will curb
their impatience and remain quiet
until the labors of their servants are
completed, before condemning them
or their word. It's argued by many
that framing q constitution should be
the product Of years deliberation
by the wisest heads of our Common
wealth. There is no doubt but that
the members Of the present body as
sembled in New Orleans have some
very complex questions to deal with,
owing to race issues. The negro in
the Convention is just what he has
been in the State ever since his
acknowledgements the cause of all the
trouble, and the delay experienced BY
the delegates, who are themselves
widely divided in their opinions and
convictions as to what is the proper
course to pursue. Time, wisdom and
reflection are required to solye the
problem, and construct just such q
constitution sis needed by the people
of the State Of Louisiana.

When the waters of Niagara first
flushed with delight in the smile of the
Princess Louise, she said, "Don't
speak: let me drink in the whole
seene;" and subsequently remarked,
'T never have seen, and never shall
see such grand sight again. What
| would have missed had | not seen
it." lfPrincess Louise, when standing
in view of the falls, had simply said,
"Don't speak," and kept silence her
self, the effect would have been
better. When Grant was gazing on the
rninsof the Coliseum, he merely rolled
his cigar over in his mouth, and re-
marked to his eompanjon,in a tone full
of feeling, 'Let's take something to

The editor of the Louisian Suqar
= .BowI is scoring it to the Morgan City
Railroad, and to all appearances, very
justly. The following from the Hou-
ma Courier on the subject has our un-
qualified endorsement: "Evidently
the railroad authorities are trying to
choke the country press. If that is
their game, they will soon find out
that it does not take worth a cent.
If the New Orleans papers have, in
their wisdom, found it proper to alb
stain from all comment upon this
monopolizing concern, we disagree
with them on this point, and will
continue to wage war upon this-'the

MEAN HINTS.

In view of certain mysterious in
situations concerning the collection
of poll tax in this parish, given origin
evidently by a scurrilous and unrelia-
bic public medium, we made inquiry
of our tax collector, Capt. William G.
Randolph, concerning the matter. 1t
was charged that but a small sum
over two hundred dollars poll tax
had been collected for years. Mr..
Randolph, as is his custom, very po-
itely produced his books and gave us
all the necessary information. We
ascertained that since his appoint
ment he has collected at stated pc
riOds amounts as follows ::
Louisiana capitolian., 1879-06-14

Mr.. Blaine is happy. He has
discovered Southern school book
which fairly reeks with disloyalty. It
is an arithmetic, and one of the "sums'
in it, according to Mr.. Blame, is as
follows: GLOW long would ten cow
arlly Yankees, with two days start
and making eight miles a day, have to
run before being overtaken by five
brave Confelerates following them at
the rate often miles a day 7" We object
to this problem for the reason that
while it is designed to inculcate a bitter
and sectional feeling and keep up the
memories Of the war, it is not artistic
ally composed. We can understand
why the Yankees would only be NOV
ing at the rate of eight miles q day in
the Southern country, because they
would naturally have a large lot of
baggage and plunder to take care of,
but why the gallant Confederates, in
the full ardor of pursuit, should only
be able to make ten miles a day rather
stumps us. Under the circumstances
they ought to get over the ground at
the rate of fifteen miles day. Per-
haps, like the gentleman who chased
the grizzly in California for something
like a week, they move cautiously on
a fresh track. We are not good at
" figgers" and we have no time to
wrestle with the problem, but we
have an idea that the gallant Confed-
crates, if none Of them have the mis-
fortune to he sunstruck, will overhaul
the weary and methodical Yankees
about the time that Mr.. Blaine is
sworn in as President of the United
States. 1t seems to be a slow stern
chase.-Baltimore Gazette. .
