FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Among the gentlemen whose names
are mentioned for the nomination for
Lieut.. Governor we recognize none
whose claims upon the party or the
people rank those of our esteemed fell
iow-townsmau and friend s. D. Nc
Emery, Esq, or those Of our friend Col.
III. r. Lott, of West Carroll, both of
whom will probably be brought before
the Baton Rouge Convention. We es-
TEEN both of these gentlemen, both for
their devotion to the State and her holy
cause and for the high qualities they
have exhibited as men under circum-
stances well calculated to try their faith
in that cause. They are equally well
qualified, and both possess an equal
share of our best wishes. The TELE-
GRAPH is reluctant to play the
part of Paris, but we, of course,
vote the apple to our old associate and
friend McEnery. Should he not enter
the field, Col. Lott will fill the TELE-
GRAPHS bill to T. Why could he
not be Governor

On the Thornhill place in this county
there is a singular case. Old uncle
Charley Smith, now fully 20 years of
age, up to six weeks ago, was in the
enjoyment of good health. Without
disease Or sick ness of any description
whatever, his flesh from the foot be-
gan to shrivel and dry up; so much so
near the ankle, that his wife performed
an amputation of tho foot with n razor,
there being no flesh adhering-simply
the bare bones exposed. There has
been no sores, poison or running of
any description, the flesh simply dry
ing up. At the present time the bones
that connected with the foot, are tied
together by string, and the flesh up
towards the knee continues its strange
disappearance, so much SO, that there
is but little left of the Cformer) tieshy
part of the calf. Our information
which is beyond Il doubt, puts the
sloughing of the flesh at six inches.
The mans appetite continues good

hearty meal. A man of some $50 or
$50 pounds if not more, with full
health and vigorous for person that
has passed seventy years, his case is a
most singular one.-Nutche= Democrat.

BEE CULTURE.

FLOR the Ouachita Telegraph
The manipulation of wax after the
secretion has been described by differ
ent writer's, in various ways, and we
cannot make a better selection than to
give Mr.. Quinby's opinion. He says
"Huber gives the following minute
account of the first foundation of combs
that is somewhat amusing if not in
structive: Having provided hive
with honey and water, it was resorted
to in crowds by the bees, who having
satisfied their appetite, returned to the
hive. They formed festoons, remained
motionless for "a hours, and after a
time scales of wax appeared. An ade-
quate supply of wax for the construc-
ton of comb having been elaborated,
one of them disengaged itself from the
center of the group, and clearing a
space about an inch in diameter, Mt the
top of the hive, applied the pincers of
one of its legs to its side, detached a
scale of wax, and Immediately began
to mince it with its tongue. During
the operation, this organ was made to
assume every variety of shape; some
times it appeared like a trowel, then
dattened like a spatula, and at other
times like Il pencil ending with a
point. The scale, moistened with a
frothy liquid, became glutlnous, and
was drawn out like ribbon. This
bee then attached all the wax it could
concoct to the vault of the hive, and
went its way
"Now," says Mr.Quinby, who differs
widely from Huber, 81 have some
criticisms to make on this account.
First, in the usual course of swarming,
it is unnecessary to provide the honey
a. fhax- 1oIov, xnyifl !,
honey from the parent hive. Next, to
form festoons and remain motionless
"a hours to concoct the wax, is not
their custom. They either swallow the
honey long enough before leaving
home, or have the wax ready, or less
time Than - hours is necessary to pro-
duce it. I have frequently found

necessary, anu any Oenlal would De
ridiculous In the extreme.
But there is danger of the removal
being delayed on one pretext or an
other. In the article quoted it is said
that the General Assembly, at its first
session, shall make the necessary ap-
preparations, &C.; provided, the city of
Baton Rouge shall pay into the State
Treasury 5000, &c. 1t is evident
that If either the Legislature or Baton
Rouge fails to act In the matter, the
change cannot be made. What infiu-
ence will be brought to bear on the
Legislature, we cannot foretell, but
that there will be a disposition to
thwart the expressed popular will, NO
one can reasonably entertain any
doubts. s...
The Legislature must act promptly
ON the subject, and Baton Rouge should
be even ahead of time. Let there be
no evasion Of the question and no dere-
LECTION OF duty. In this important
matter much will depend on the re-
and personal influence
of the next Chief Magistrate, and we
ask the delegates TO the Baton Rouge
Convention to require public and er-
zaZ;c1 declarations from all the candi-
dates before any ballot is taken.
I'VE commend to the people a SINH
lar course in the selection of candi-
dates for the Legislature.l
It Is to the interest of Baton Rouge
that her delegation take this subject In
hand. The nominee must accept the
Constitution as his platform, and every
Article must be rigidly and fairly put
in operation. Any mental reservations
should be disqualification for any
trust involving questions or matters to
be decided or enforced by any depart
ment of the government. With the
Capital at Baton Rouge we can forget
something of the career of Warmoth
and Kellogg, and feel that similar
men would be powerless to repeat their
usurpations, and that the 18th of Sep
TENDER may come and 60, whether in
cloud or In sunshine, without the
blood of martyrs or of metropolitans.

THE JUDaEsHlP, FIRST CIRCUIT.

Col. G. c.. Henderson, of Caddo, is
prominently named as a proper candi-
date before the next Legislature for
in the First District.
It may be said that only those in the
District should interest themselves in
matters pertaining to that District, and
we should heed tho monition, if it re-
lated to any other prefernent. The
judiciary is a part of the State, in the
organization of which every citizen
has a personal concern. The safety of
liberty and property is in its keeping,
and its power may have to be invoked
by those without as well as those
within its Jurisdiction. Further, Col.
Henderson Is our personal friend. He
Is lawyer of twenty-five years prac-
tice in Louisiana. Among his breth-
rem of the Bar he stands deservedIy
high. He is fully competent to dis
charge the duties of the high position
of Circuit Judge. His friends are work.
ing zealously for him and it is our
opinion that the Legislature will not
find a man who is by experience and
intellectually better qualified for the
position of Circuit Judge than Hen
derson.
Judge r. g. Smith, OF the 18th Dis
trict Court, will also be a candidate be-
fore the Legislature for Circuit Judge
of the First Circuit. 1t would be q
work of supererogation for US to under
take to point out the merits of this
worthy jurist to the members of the
General Assembly,. He is we'll known
in the District. Who would be better
qualified, or who would discharge the
duties of the Office more impartially OF
more justly, is not within our knowl-
edge. So far as we know Judge Smith
has every requisite for the place. His
selection would no doubt give satisfac-
ton and in so far as we are personally
his candidacy is highly graf
flying, and we cheerfully recommend
him to the favorable consideration of
the Legislature.

one seat contested from this State, that
of g. S. Orth, Republican. If a Demo

presidential election should go to the

There occurred in this neighborhood
on the 18th inst. an outrage by a negro
named ALT Daniel, on the person of
j. l.. Harrison, by stabbing him in five
different places. Two of the cuts pen
etrated the lungs, and his recovery is
very doubtful. The negro was making
a crop on Mr.. Harrison's plantation,
and becoming involved in debt, ran
off, carrying with him horse belong
ing to his employer. Mr.. II. followed
him to get his horse, and when he
spoke in regard to it, the negro jumped
at him and dealt him five severe blows
with a dirk knife. 1t is thought by,
the acts of the negroes in the vicinit,
that they will protect him and proven n
his arrest if they can. =

TOO SOON.

A very sensible article is the follow
ing which we clip from the Picayune
of Monday:
Before the great battle of 1880. the
disintegration of the Democratic party.
or rather the formation of now party.
consisting in part of the white voters
now operating with the Democratic
party, will be premature. 1t is desira-
ble-almost vitality necessary-that the
dominant race in the Sonth should
show unity of purpose and unity of ac-
ton in the momentous conflict which
is to result in the installation Of a DEM
ocratic President on the 4th March,
1881. Our Radical enemies must not
be allowed to find any consolation in
divisions among Southern white men
on issues relating to the Republic at
large and especially on anything per-
tanning to Capitalization and consolida-
ton, the leading purpose of the Radi-
cal party. We are not conscious of
any change of Southern sentiment.
We do not even detect q subsistence of
enthusiasm in favor of Democratic doc
trine and measures-only this, that the
whole Southern country being freed
from the local sway of the Radicals
and their wicked emissaries, there has
been notable relaxation of effort on
the part of Democrats, with an increas-
ing tendency to independent action on
the part of numerous voters who have
worn Democratic colors more from a
sense of present necessity than from
any special love to the party. Their
many of them had no inherited love
for fha Davnocrofio narfv
This cannot last perpetually. The
time must come when the people of
the South will divide politically on
will be two parties in the Southern
States; one the Democratic party, re-
tanning its organization and prestige;
the other consisting of voters who shall
refuse to cooperate longer with the old
party. By what name the new order
may be called cannotnow be predicted,
only that it will not brook the name of
tsRepublican," which has become too
odious to be tolerated. The name elm
DEPENDENT is suggested, but it will
likewise be made somewhat odious
from having beer abused already by
demagogues. The designation will be
derived from SINE development yet
to be made, a name denoting no dis
grace ana one 6peclally free from the
faint of Radicahsm.
Something of what is indicated must
take place soor or late, but we con-
ceive it to b9 patriotic duty on the
part Of SoutheN white citizens to post
pone it, if pjssible, until after the
Presidential election. We ought 10
give no vatage ground to Northern
Radicals byh show of division in our
own ranks, We ought not by that
means to discourage and embarrass
Northern democrats who are battling
for the saced right of home rule. The
issue is lnqnentous; the battle is to be
essentiallyDn Northern territory, but
the great puthern reserve should hold
! itself in fin ranks without any sign of
division. 5s-H' ~ So
