Justice could not be peaoeably perpetrated

proof that the Democratic leaders now see
clearly the revolutionary tendencies and pur-
poses of the Republican administration and
leaders, and that they will defend tho con-

II now becomes the duty OF the men who are
being subjected TO this judicial outrage, ana

few days ago. when IL was necessary to raise
q considerable sum Of money 10 aid the mul-
titude of prisoners brought here from North
Louisiana, Hon. j. II. Elan, member OF Con
gress from the Fourth District, photographed
Judge David Person to draw on him for
five hundred dollars. Judge Elan is by no
means wealthy man, and this offer Of aid
was noble and generous In the extreme. We
are glad. however, to say that Judge Pierson
did not find IL necessary to draw for the full
amount Gen. Ogden. when tho dispatch
came, had raised a large portion Of tho money
requii ed, and that with subscriptions from
Ouachita. Caddo and Natchltoches, with n
portion of the sum rendered by Judge Elan,
met the necessities Of the prisoners.

The Baton Rouge Advocate proposes that
the convention shall pass mn ordinance pro-
hibitiug any member Of that body for five
years from holding scat in the Legislature,
and asks the DEMOCRAT and other city pa
pers to express their opinion OF the PROPOSE
ton. Some other journals have held that NO
member or the last Legislature should be
eligible to n seat In the convention. We ex-
press our unqualified dissent from both prop
oaitions. We know that many Of the parishes
selected their best and most trusted men
and sent them to the Legislature. The
second proposition above referred to
would exclude oil these men. and thus
require the people to discriminate IN the
selection OF delegates against good men In
stead OF bad or Indifferent men. The last
proposition is even more Objectionable one
It IA hoped aud believed that all the parishes
will be careful in this important election u
send to the convention their ablest, truest anC
most reliable citizens. If then the PROPOSE
ton OF our esteemed contemporary a.
Baton Rouge be adopted, one result OF tn
constitutional convention will be to exclude
from our Legislative halls for five years
large number of our best citizens. This, ]
seems to US, would be the height OF YIN
wisdom,

The people of Sullivan county, New York
have determined to thoroughly probe and
test the law prohibiting what Is styled In
direct bribery" The case they propose to
test is queer one. During the last canvass
che Republican candidate for county Judge
declared that, II elected, he would turn over
half of his salary into the treasury, az he
thought the salary double what It ought TO
be. He was elected, and, unlike MANY other
candidates, carried out his promise. Ii il now
charged that his offer, made frequently hv
MN on the stump, was indirect bribery" that
ms election was due to it; and that, there
lore ne ought to be unseated, as he Indirectly
-prleed the voters Of Sullivan county.
The charge sounds absurd to many Yet Il
is not the first time that 1t has been made

until about midnight, when the well
come messenger Of death relieved him
from all further pain. The remainder
Of the night was passed in digging 9
grave to protect the body Of our friend
from the wolves and the scalping -knive
Of the Indian. With no better imple-
ments than q ssharpened stick and the
should der blade Of a buffalo, we opened
his narrow. tomb, and although the
ground was soft, and we worked with
a will, twas not till the light Of dawn
appeared in the east, that'W built a
fire on the spot; and having scattered
the ashes about to hide the recently
made grave, bid farewell to our com:
rade, and left him to mingle with the
silent dust, until that great day when
the earth shall give up its dead. Years
have passed since the eventfnl night,
yet its painful duties are as vivid in my
recollection as though they were the
events of yesterday, and the same
groan which rose from the grave;as we.
laid him down. with nothing to pro-.
tect him from the worm but his blank

a turkey, which we cooked on stick,
Indian fashion, and which served us
for food until the next day when we.
came upon a herd of buffalo, out of
which we managed to secure a fine
bull, and taking out the tongue and
hump rib, left the carcase to the
wolves. Soon after killing the buffalo
we saw fresh Indian sign, and became
aware that we were in the rear Of a
party of about a dozen red skins, who
were on the war path. We arrived at

Senator Window has very appropri-

completion of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, Senator Window is we'll Inform
ed on the railroad subject in general,
and on this road in particular. Ihave
had very interesting talk with the
Senator. Z He INDUCES the hope that
it will be completed in few years. It
will be built with it's own resources,
and will pay it's way almost as fast as
it lays it's rails. The company,
he says has decided to put its rich
lands in the market for cash to actual
settlers at the government rate, 49, SO
per acre, and if they do this, no doubt
the rush of emigration that way next
year will exceed anything ever known
in the way of an amount of population.

duced to leave their homes by false
representations The chief OF the

be added that all the inquiries and agi-
tati0n the Democrats can get up will
result in helping on the exodus.
Annoyed at the nearness of the
Christmas holidays and their own tar
diness in getting to work, the Demo-
cratic appropriation Committee per-
fected two unimp0rtant bills and had
them passed the other day. This was
simply to supplement their work of
forcing through 4 resolution to take a
recess from the 10th of this month to
January 9Th. a!at.
The response to Senator Blaine's an
nouncement against retiring the Green
backs at present is favorable, almost
unanimous in the Republican ranks
here. .,,..r
The Democratic method Of economic
ing on paper and being extravagant
afterwards is liable to be shown up
shortly. They pretended to cut down
the cost Of long mail routes, but after
the contracts were made, wherever
they can find a Democratic friend to
favor. they vote to increase the ser.
vice but do not forget to increase the
pay many fold more. 1t has been dis
covered that certain routes have been
thus doctored by slippery Legislators to
the tune of about one hundred thous.
