THE PARISH DEMOCRATIC EXECU.
TIVE COMMITTEE.

Elsewhere will be seen the proceed
ings of this body, which assembled
pursuant to call, on last Wednesday
morning. 1t will be noticed that
every thing that has been done, looks
towards harmony and fairness, in con-
Quoting the campaign under the au-
spices of the Democratic party. The
empty charge manipulating matters
through the influence of any supposed
"ring" must necessarily fall to the
ground. Every tub will have to
stand on it's own bottom. Those can
didates who fail in obtaining the nom
nation can only condemn the voters
for preferring somebody else. WedO
hope that all hands will be as near
satisfied as it is possible to please the
human mind. At any rate those who
grumble will have but flimsy excuses
to hang to.
We will see now what are the fresh
objections raised against the Demo-
cratic party of our parish.

G. G. GOLDMAN, EsQ.-We had the
pleasure of travelling in the agreeable
company of this stalwart yodng Demo
GRAFT, delegate from the parish Of Ten
sas to the Democratic State Central
Committee. Mr.. Goldman goes home
rejoicing over his success in obtaining
for his parish the representation in
the Convention, to which it is entitled
according to the vote given for State
Treasurer in November last. We
hope to meet him in our city on the
9th Of October.

THE C0L0RED MANS FUTURE,
New Orleans LOuisia,,ian,


The South has it's famous Okolona
States, the North has it's counterpart
in Lemars Sentinel, published in
Plymouth county, Iowa, and now it
seems that our race has come to the
front to add another to this rabid
crew. The Colored Citizen, published
at Topeka, in an article headed "The
Cololed Mans Future" has this advice
to give to the Negroes of the South:
Let the colored race determine to try
to help itself in every thing and there
will be no trouble about its future. If
in the South the white people insist upon
killing colored people, do a little of the
same kind of business. If a set of sco,,n-
drels will persist in riding about at night
numbering, just wait till they ride away
from their homes and then get you some
matches and steal up to their dwellings,
and when you see the heavens all lit up
with the lurid glare of first-class fire,
then get back home and go to sleep as
fast as possible; then have sense enough
to keep you mouths shut, and the first
one that turns traitor and tells who lit
the match, kill him on the spot, and SO
i'll every thing else, take your own part,
fight your own battles, work out your
own future.
We have been denouncing crime,
murderand assassination for years. We
deprecate it on the part of the whites
Why should we follow their example
The advice given by the Citizen to a
class ofhelpless and defenseless citizens
is wrong that 'twere base tlattery to
call crime. We want to stamp out
the spirit of revenge, murder and
rapine, rather than seek to fan the
embers of political hate, race preju.

A rather novel sight was witnessed
in police court at Richmond, Va, a
few days ago, being the appearance
of a colored lawyer as the counsel fol
white man, who was arraigned fol
some tritiing of1ense. This was the first
time since the enfranchisement Of. the
negro that one of them has appeared
as the counselor of the white race in
the courts of Richmond.

New Orleans is healthier at this

The city is resuming that appearance
of activity indicating the approach Of
the business season. Despite the two

not the slightest fear is entertained

is nothing to warrant the establishing
of the quarantine nuisance against

THE STEAMBOAT COMBINATION.


The PicayaAe comes out IN sup
port of the high rates established by
our steamboats,. It says that board
at the st. Charles Hotel cost four dol
lars per day; that the fare for pas
sage to New Orleans was ut one time
fixed at six dollars. Now it's only
fve. We remember that during last
winter the fare had been reduced to
three and four dollars on many boats !;
and we believe that it is amply suf1i-
cient. Comparatively few people can
afford to board at four dollars per
day at the St. Charles, and while in
the city have to seek much cheaper
stopping places. Gold is no longer at
200, and cotton is not now selling at
$l.60 per pound.
We contend that while greenbacks
are at par, and cotton at 8 cents, with
everything else reduced down to hard
pan, that our people can't stand these
high rates. We still persist in saying
that if New Orleans will not look
closely into these matters, her trade
will be driven elsewhere. Therefore
do we urge q diminution in these now
exorbitant rates, else we advise our
citizens to give their patronage to
boats who don't fix their rates at
St. Charles Hotel figures.
The editor Of the Capitolian was very
much mystitied at the contents of GER
tain Titanic bowl, used at the Entertain
ment last week. He called OH us for in
formation, butreceived no satisfactory re-
spouse. Weimbibed, however, and found
it quite palatablc. After while this
editorretuned to the stand, only on a tour
of inspection, and found the mysterious
bowl nearly empty, while the Capitolian
man had become wonderfully increased
in rotundity of person.. We wouldn't
intimate for anything in the world that
the contents of that bowl were in any way
crooked" but malicious people do say
that the Capitolian man complained next
morning of a largely INITIATED head! What
could have been in that bowl'-Sugar
Planter. ft
We had no idea that brother Hy-
ans would resort to the weak device
of telling us "you're another" No
wonder that III his glee he saw double
and imagined that we had become
rotunl and that we had SO increased
in size as to reach gigantic proper
tons. He heard some malicious peo-
pie say that we complained of a
largely inflated head on the morning
that followed the celebrated charge
on that Titanic bowl!
Our contrere remembers only that
the liquid was palatable. OF course
it was, since it was prepared accord
ing to the following recipe: A large
porcelain bowl, one teaspoonful crash
ed sugar, one tablespoonful water to
dissolve sugar, six pounds ice, four
lemons sliced, one gallon best "This-
tie Dew" one quart champagne, an
other teaspoonful sugar, another gal
Ion "Thistle Dew," another quart
champagne, another teaspoonful SUI
gar, half a teaspoonful water, one nut
meg grated, another quart cham
payne and still another gallon "This-
tie Dew" This is the liquid that
brother Hyams found palatable (7) if

lnGS or the committee, IL was lIlally
decided that if the St. Louis Hotel
was disposed of, even at great sacri-
flee, enough or nearly so could be
realized, which, added to Baton
Rouge's contribution, would suffice to
restore the old capitol, without in
volving the State at this time i'll u
large appropriation Of money. In
view of these facts, the gentlemen of
the committee receded from the posi-
ton they had at first taken, and they
concluded to report the ordinance that
now appears in the new constitution.
The views of the committee CORE
sponded exactly with those Of the
majority in the Convention. 1t wolAd
have been suicidal to have attempted
to carry the question Internationally.
Who could blame the delegates from
the other parishes, under the existing

above views?
It'swell enough for the 'generais"(O

that many individuals who talk a

The springtime in all its verdancy
has come and gone, the summer
faded like an autumn leaf, and au-
tumn herself having reaped her
golden harvest has disappeared, and
now frigid HENS in all his power is
upon us. But amid the gloominess
caused by the cold, snowy, rainy
weather, there comes an occasional
ray of sunshine, affording, like the
brazen serpent of Moses among the
plague-stricken Israelites in the will
derness, happiness to lonesome
hearts, and infusing new life into
dropping spirits. The matrimonial
season has been enlivened in the
last few days by Mr.. Quarles Parker
of this neighborhood exchanging
single cussedness for double bless
edness. He married Miss Mary
HO9en, near SamuePs Mills. After
the ceremony was performed by
Esquire Beaver, the large crowd
present repaired to the dining room
where a sumptuous feast in elegant
profusion awaited them. After
spending a delightful evening the
bridal party repaired on the follow
ing day to the residence of the
bridegroom's father, where another
large crowd had gathered to wei
come, and still better, an elegant
entertainment awaited them. The
tables literally groaned under the
weight Of good things, to which you
may guess your humble CORES pon-
dent did ample justice as well as
others. Oh, that such occasions
would come oftener. But now, Mr..
Editor, you must excuse this feeble
attempt at description, for remem

unabridged dictionary at hand.
