OF real life. Years ago q Mr.. Reaves, now of
robertson county, was living On the Missouri

that he was OF white blood. For six years he

little Girl stolen from Detroit, Michigan. named
Anna Ware. and his efforts were finally crowned
with success, and, after twenty years spent with
the Indians, he found himself among his own
race, out almost stranger to them. He worked
IN Michigan four years, and during that time he
told his strange history to a gentleman, who

take testimony in any investigation of
of this character. 1t was hard enough
to secure evidence when there were
Republican State governments in tue
South. Now any attempt to secure
testimony going to show these outra-
ges, would be mere farce. Mr.. Blaine
himself appeared very much put out
by the disposition exhibited upon the
part of the Republican senators. He
spent a greater part of the afternoon in
going about trying to persuade scna-
tors to serve upon the committee, but
they all evadcd him, feeling that he
had no right to ask them to do what
be would not do himself. So, as the
case now stands, the proposed investi-
CATION is alreany upon its last legs.
Conkling, who is very much bet
ter tactician than Blaine, is very much
pleased over the situation. His friends
say that he has already quietly ar
ranged with his friends in the Senate
to carry the point that he desires to
make. which is the defeat of the New

RED RIVER FREIGHTS.

MIR. EDITOR
A question of much Importance
which awarns the people at large
throughout this portion of the Red
River valley, is that of transportation.
Much has been said upon this subject,
but nothing done. The Corporation
known as the New Orleans and Red
River Transportation Company, which
has its domicile in New Orleans, still
runs things pretty much their own
way, charging what they please, and
keeping out good healthy opposition
by the contract system which, is bind
ing upon the Company if they see fit.
They charge 90 and even 90 per bale
for cotton above the Falls, when they
were taking it at the same time for
81 so below the Falls. Now we are
getting our account sales rendered US
for s25 per bale, net proceeds, the
freight on which has been 81, so,
which is entirely too much, consider
ing the great reduction in all values.
The card rate on up freigllts too is
about 90 per cent too high. The big
boast made some time ago by some pa
per in this region, in the interest of
the said "Pool-line," that by its 1.-THE
Pool -line's) beautiful system of man
agement, is now pretty we'll exploded,
as has been fully shown since quaran-
tine. 1t seems to be pretty hard
ma ter to get our merchants and plan
tiers to work together in unison in this
matter. Let US now try our mer-
chants in New Orleans, as nearly all
our business is transacted with that
city, to interest themselves in this
thing till the proper reductions are
made 10 the freight tariff. The under
signed will ship their cotton to the
commission merchant or merchants
who will exert themselves to the ac-
complishment of this end, and will buy
their goods such as groceries, dry
goods, hardware, ETC., from those mer.
chants who will bring their influence
to bear to lessen our freight burdens.
Let all the other country merchants
do the same, and you will soon see
such pressure brought to bear that
said line will be satisfied to take less
than 1.-THE Of all the products OF the
soil of this Red River valley. This
freight tax is worse than the Confed-
crate 1.-THE tax, for that was for pat
riotic purpose. You may talk abon.
its not being monopoly" and all
that sort Of thing, but that is all
humbug. The press cannot throw
sand in our eyes whom it comes to bus
mess, neither can our affections be
monopolized in any such way as the
gentleman dictates who occupies the
easy chair in his Office in New Orleans.
Let the New Orleans merchants who
want our trade, exert themselves in
nnr behalf, and insist upon 81 per bale
for cotton, as the maximum or l,igl.

The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1879-01-01

WASHINGTON, December l9.-Sena-
tor Blaine is placed in u very humilia
ting position tlrou Oh his laundering
management and his utter lack of
knowledge of senatorial etiquette.
When he presented his resolution of
inquiry it was understood that he
stood as the representative Of tile Re-
publican senators, and that he had at
least the voice of a caucus back of him,
but 1t appears that this is an error.
That his mistake has been SO general
arises from the fact that none of the
Republican senators have felt called
on to express any particular opinion
on the subject waiting calmly to see if
Blaine could make anything unaided.
This explains in a measure the silence
aud indifference upon the Republican
side, while Blaine has been left to do
all the talking. A Republican seua-
tor said this afternoon that Blaine has
actually consulted DO one in present.
ing his resolution, and as he had not
evidenced real desire to accomplish
anything except spectacular sensa-
ton in the senate, they were willing
to let the whole matter 60 by default.
Blaine, by declining to take upon him
self any of the work of the proposed
investigation, while he was ready to
reap all the glory that could come
from it has given cue to the Repub-
lican senators which thoy are not slow
to follow.
The craftsmanship of this committee
has gone begging, aud the fact that
Teller, of Colorado, one Of the light
weights among the most obscure sena-
tors, was finally announced, evinces
the arduous hunt that has been made
for senator to take charge Of the for
lorn hope of making capital for Sena-
tor Blaine. The republican caucus
held this morning was very pathetic
affair. None of the senators present
wanted to have anything to do with
the committee. A large majority of
them gave as reason that they de-
sired to 60 home during the holiday
recess. Other senators had their re-
election to look after. Finally Sena-
tors Allison, Blaine and Christiancy
were chosen to make up a committee
Of FIVE. and this afternoon they an
nounced a committee as follows Tel
Ter, Of Colorado, Chairman; Cameron,
of Wisconsin; Nipple Mitchell, of Ore
gon; Kirkwood, of Iowa; and Hoar, of
Massachusetts. Nipple Mitchell at
once withdrew, and later lie was re-
placed by Mcmillan, of Minnesota.
But beyond Teller there is no certain
ty for any of the other members.
Mr.. Cameron said positively this af-
ternoon that he would not serve, and
that he had not been consulted at all
to find out what were his wishes in the
matter. He thought there was no
