Grants Nomination Assured.
[St. Louis Post Dis patch.I

The question was, Is 1t possible that Grant
can be nominated for q third term The
question now Is, Is 1t possible that his nomt-
nation next year can be defeated2 Is 1T
He will start with "soiid South " In his
favor-that is, q solid delegation from every
Southern State In the Republican National
Convention. The negroes and carpet-baggers,
who constitute the Republican party In the
South, are all enthusiastic for Grant Tor as
many terms aS he pleaseS.
1t only requires majority to nominate In
the Republican convention. But 1t only re-
quires the seventy votes of New York added
TO the solid vote of the South to have that
majority for Grant. And everybody knows
that Conkling and the machine" will go for
Grant most heartily In preference to any
other candidate.
But Don Cameron and his ring own Penn
sylvania, and will give the great vote of that
debauched State to Grant with as much abSO-
lutte certainty as the rising OF the sun. Here,
then, we see how the simple will Of ConkiDg
and Cameron, with the vote OF the South, can
secure Grants nomination by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
And this is not ALL In Illinois and Michi.
gan, and Wisconsin and Kansas, and New
Jersey, the Grant machine Is owned as il
in fee simple by Logan Chandler, Carpenter
Robeson 4 Co. Their delegations will un
doubtedly all go for Grants nomination
All the present Indications point to this,
Really, 1t looks very much as Ii 1T were al
ready too late to organize respectable Oppo
Sition to Grants third nomination. It seems
more probable that he will be nominated very
much In the same manner and by the same
| crowd as in 1868 and 1872.

TCincinnati Commercial.l

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 30.-An Iuka, Mis-
sissippi, special says: At o'clock Tuesday
morning this place was visited by terrible
cyclone. Itappeared to come from the south
west to northeast, in it's course striking the
southeastern portion OF the town on the hill,
mostly occupied by colored people, instantly
killing q colored woman and child and four
other colored children, two of whom were not
found until yesterday and then quarter OF a
mile from home, the head Of one having been
severed from his body. Eight others, colored
persons, were wounded one of whom died
yesterday morning. The others wounded
are doing well, though one is suffering terri
bly, from broken thigh, and another from a
broken arm.
Four houses were blown down and one
church; wagon was carried mile and
imbedded in the ground.
The tornado lasted but few minutes, and
and its track is not over two hundred yards
wide. It swept everything within reach. Its
course was towards the Mississippi river,
where it struck Newport, badly damaging
that town, and breaking a child's arm. Some
timbers OF a house blown away were found
two miles distant.

Trouble In Ara bla.
New York Sum-

letter from Djeddah, Arabia, says that on
December the Europeans ran great danger
of being massacred. The English war vessel
Ready, which was cruising in the Red Sea
with the object OF preventing the export of
slaves, drove back three Arabian vessels, and
obliged them to abandon their human cargoes
after an exchange of q few shots. In the
short struggle which took place Bedouin
was seriously wounded, and died the follow
ing day. At Djeddah, when thenews became
known in the town, the Arabs adopted a
attitude towards the Christians,
and resolved to take revenge for the death of
one OF their people. The authorities OF the
town happened to be absent at the fetes OF
Bairam, so that the populace felt themselves
free from all control. In the meantime M.
Kruyt, the Dutch consul, gathered together at
his house all the consuls and Europeans, and
sent couriers mounted on camels to Mecca to
inform the authorities Of Djeddah OF what had
taken place and to recall the Governor. On
December 10 the Governor returned to Died
dah with division OF troops, and put an end
to all further danger.

Of her MajeSty'S forces in South Africa, who

contains much Information on the subject.

the army. From time to time all youths
who have reached IA or Is years OF age are
formed into regiments and placed In mill
tary camp or kraaI. Subsequently regiments
OF other men are mixed with these young
soldiers In order to give them the benefit of
their experience. No soldier is allowed to
marry till he Is 40, and the married soldiers
are formed into separate regiments. Out Of
80 regiments 10 consist of married and Is

the wiping out of this Infamous document.
Many staunch Dem ocrats opposed u change
Many sought to patch this document, and
justified their opposition to new coDstltu-
tion by claiming that the people were not able
and not sufficiently educated to their interests
to make the change. The DEMOCRAT hewed
70 the line, and by precept upon precept taught
the necessity OF an entire change. No greater
trloute to conscientious advocacy Of prin-
clple was ever paid than that paid to
the DEMOCRAT by the Legislature in inn
med1ately passing the bill. For it's steady,
unceaSing labor in the cause of good
government, the DEMOCRAT deserves the
thanks OF the taxpayers and Intelligent oiti-
zens OF Louisiana. Attacked by all the ma
chlnery OF the law, by al the corrupt rings of
the State, with first lukewarm support then
by an open opposition Of it's city contempora-
ries, the DEMOCRAT stood boldly for the peo-
pie and the people gave it their hearty in
dorsement at the polls No party was ever
more fortunate In Its exponent than the DEM
ocraey OF Louisiana in the New Orleans DEM
oCRAT as its voice, for 1t never gave an un-
certain sound. The threat of utter ruin could
not divert 1t from It's advocacy Of the right.
1t remains for the people to rally to the
polls to select the ablest and purest men in
the State to send to the convention. The inn
portance OF the election Of the eighteenth Of
March oyershadows any and all other cleo
tiOns In the State. The Federal officials, by
their prosecutions, hope to keep the people
from exercising their sacred rights, but
tnere Will be 40 United States supervisors to
Interfere in the coming election. No Fed
eral official will be elected, hence there will
not be shadow Of pretence for United States
supervisor.
Let an active canvass be begun ut once, and
let the men OF experience and integrity be
placed before the people for their suffrages;
letevery man take an active interest In the
matter, SO that Caddo will send worthy repre-
sentatives to the convention The session
will be short; hence the greater reason for
sending the very best men OF the parish to
this convention.
