by fire on Thursday night, Feb. Goth,
together with about GO bales of cotton,
belonging to different parties, some 80
bales of which belonged to Mr.. Larkin

cost $1,000, and were a total loss.
Neither was there any insurance on the

We learn that Mr.. Robert Ward shot

the universal energy and good spirits
displayed on all sides, we may expect
another bountiful harvest to our people.
Politics do not disturb either class of

one is now anxiously though quietly,
looking forward to the Constitutional

MONROE. La. MARCH z. 1873.
The conventions which assembled at
this place on the LIST to nominate two
senatorial delegates and one for the
parish to the Constitutional Conven-
tion, were well and largely attended.
In the senatorial convention able dele
cations were present from all the par
ishes in the district, Franklin alone
excepted. The parish convention was
unusually full for a parish meeting,
and the best citizens Of Ouachita were
represented. The labors Of these two
bodies were not very arduous or tedious,
as there were but few candidates pro-
posed and not much personal favorleism
to contend with, but the results In both
were we'll received and have given
general satisfaction.
Judge r.. w. Richardson, OF this
city. one of the senatorial nominees, Is
a gentleman well known throughout
the State. He was State senator IN
1861 and '52, and q member of the con-
stitutfonal convention Of the latter year.
He was afterwards elected District
Judge, and was in Office when the war
began. Since the war he has held no
Office, but has taken lively interest
In public affairs. He is we'll qualified
to take leading part in the Conven-
ton and in tho redemption of the
State.
Judge n. w. Smith, of Jackson, the
other nominee for the district, Is not 80
we'll known as his colleague, but Is a
sterling citizen, an excellent farmer, and
a lawyer of good attachments. He
carries an empty coat sleeve, an evil
dence of his loyalty to his section.
Judge Smith is in the prime and vigor
of life-a man of decided views who
will do honor to his parish and district.
The nominee for tho Parish, Mr..
David Faulk, is a "good old farmer F."
one of the kind who makes things
stir and who has level head about
moro things than field of corn. He
will not electrify the Convention with
his eloquence, but 1t will he found that
the interests Of the State will not lack
for supporter in Dave Faulk.
So, altogether, we think Saturdays
work was we'll done. Neither of these
gentlemen will attend the Convention
with any but good and honest inten-
ton to help the people out of their
perplexities, nor will they return home
without the consciousness that they
have acted to the best of their judg-
ment. They will, we feel assured,
address themselves zealously to re.
dressing the peoples wrongs and to
providing for an enduring barricade
against the recurrence OF these wrongs
for many generations to come. To
this end, we counsel a long look ahead
and the exercise of a wise, firm and
far-seeing discretion. The troubles
this people have had should not sur
vive them and be bequeathed as a
legacy to those who are to follow. Let
us meet them like men and postcrity |
will bless us.

A GREAT EXCHANGE BUILDING PROPOSED
Prominent members of the Produce and Cotton
Exchanges the Maritime Exchange and the Snip
owners Association are laborfng to secure the CO.
operation of all these organizations IN the purchase
of ground and the erection of large building. For

lots of land or 10000 square feet would be needed
The purchase of the downtown store OF a. l. Stew
art & Co.. at Chambers-st has been suggested, 0uu
no negotiations have been made as reported. Inc
opinion of downtown merchants on Saturday was
that it would not be advisable to have new ex-
change above Wal-st.. as it would remove proVl-
sion grain and petroleum merchants TOO far from
their base of supplies and should the new building
be as far uptown as the City Hall large part oil
the business men would not cooperate The Produce
Exchange Special Committee has recommended the
purchase of not less than sixteen lots or more than
twenty lots south of Exchange-place, not west OF
Broadway nor east of WIlliam-st., and as near TO
Broad and Beaver-sts. possible" The matter
will come up for action at the annual meeting Oh
