W. E. CHANDLER was accustomed,
not many months ago, to speak of Mr..
Hayes in very coarse terms as "trai-
tor" who would sell out his party.
Now, Mr.. Chandler having become
one of the backbone settlers, he pro-
claims his fraudulency "true repub-
lican and the hope of the party"
Well, he may be such, but it is a
forlorn hope nevertheless.

To SAVE expense, the congressional
election in Iowa was held in October
at the state election, instead of No.
vember as required by the act of con.
gress. This will probably give rise to
some difficulty in seating all the mem.
bers from Iowa. Two or three mem.
bers elected in October, to make
things doubly sure, again run the pO
litical gauntlet in November, but they
will have no certificates for the elec
tion in November, they having beer

awaiting the arrival of the remains,

we notice Senator Bayard of Delaware.
The address on the occasion was de-
Iivered BY the Hon. Algemen S. Sui.

at the City Hall, was conveyed to his

The river is actually a falling

lower than the lowest water mark Of
1872, and in the shape of navigation
is far worse than ever known. But
all these drawbacks have not palsied
the efforts of the Pool Line to keep
up navigation. They have done 1t
we'll, nobly and with an energy which
should be remembered. Though we
hear talk of not receiving freights
and shipping cotton, still the real
record will show that in the cotton
line alone, double the amount OF the
staple has been carried of by the
Pool Liners, than at the same time
last season. The cotton crop this
season in Rapides, is a heavy one:
and there exists no just cause agains,
the boats not taking it. Every low
water season the same thing occurs
and this season, an exceptionally
one, more has been shipped thar

THE Winter boom seems to have
come along, and for the past three
days, we have had cool, bracing wea-
ther, in fact a delightful Fall, so
proverbial for Louisiana. We have
had three visits from Jack Frost,
the tender shrubs and the foliage of
the trees already show the yellow
tint from his touch. Wild ducks,
fat, Juicy, but too much asked for,
are plentiful, and only those who are
always crying hard times, find money
to grab them up at these extortionate
prices. Our average healthy and
economical liver, hungry for a little
change of diet, has to forego the lux.

beef of our market at eight cents
