We were present at Shreveport
on the day the above ticket was
nominated-Tuesday, 21st instan'.
The delegates were all gentlemen Of
integrity and influence. There was
but one feeling and that was to put
forward the best men for the suf'
frages of the people, and we think it
succeeded admirably, for not a word
can be said against the personel OF
the ticket. They are gentlemen well
known to the people. Intellectually
and socially there is nothing to dis
darage them. They are good Dem.
ocrats, and have many qualities that
command admiration.

Intelligent men will not dispute
the fact that parties must bejudged
by and held responsible for their
general tendencies. A party is not
to be judged solely by its platform,
nor by the utteraDces Of its careful
leaders. It's acts when in power and
its well known tendencies when ont
of power are much more reliable
guides. Platforms have become no.
torious for their insincerity. They
are of some utility still 10 enabling
q party to speak earnestly upon a
point when it chooses to do so, but
in the main they. are meaningless
Frequently their premises are de'ib-
crate swindles.

The CIRCUIT JUDGEsHIP.-The
Court Of Appeals established by the
new constitution is an important
court having appellate jurisdiction
in most of the cases in which poor
people, the great mass Of our citi
zens, are concerned. This circuit,
composed of fourteen parishes, reach
ing from Caddo to Caldwell, is en-.
titled to elect two Judges. Of course,
this end of the circuit will get one.
Since Maj. Moncure's declinature for
the Office of Lieutenant Governor,
the eyes of the Bench and Bar in
this section have pointed to him as
one of them. The mere mention OF
his name and in connection with the
Office, and of his willingness to &C.
ccept it, would, it should seem, be
sufficient to secure it. An able law
yer, sound Democrat, and a patriot
who has done so much towards the
redemption of Louisiana, the circuit
would honor itself in electing him
to the position.-C Shreveport Daily
Standard.
The Circuit Judges Of the State
will be elected BY the two Houses of
the General Assembly in joint bal
lot, as provided in the new eonsti-
tuition, and, we are satisfied the
election of Maj. Moncure as one Of
our Circuit Judges, will meet the
enthusiastic approval Of large ma.
jority of the Democrats Of this Cir
cult. Thoroughly identified with its
laws, its institutionsand it's people
his very name is significant part
of our States history. A scholar
and gentleman. Wherever he is
known there are his friends.

A Mixed Affair.

A family named Woolivsr rented some
land from Harrison Steele, near Dover, last
February, agreeing to make a thousand rails
by a certain time as part rent. Steele claims
that the contract has been broken In this and
other particulars. A few days ago Steele
went to see Woolivsr. who was not at home,
and left word with Mrs. W. that the con-
tract must be kept. or they must hunt an
other place. Steele says this il about all
that has passed between them.
Wooliver says that last Saturday night his
house was SGT on fre. They heard the noise
outside. when one went to the door. and was
shot ut by some person. The Woolivers
then armed themselves and ran out, and by
the light Of the lire saw Harrison Steele and
William Petty running way. On Monday
Wooliver swore out warrants for the accus.
ed. and they were arrested, brought before
Squire Bsck, and rs hey were not ready for
trial, were sent to jail, the bono Of Steele be.
ing placed At 81, 900. and that Of Petty .,
$500. They are both In Jail yet, their trial
coming up next Wednesday.
Steele and Petty arc beth young men Of
good appearance, and assert that they can
sasilv prove their whereabouts on Saturday
night. They think some strange things very
likely to DO developed at the coming trial.

Child Badly Burned.

About seven O'Clock yesterday morning
Mrs. John Craig, who lives ut the north end
OF Ash street, In this city, went out to milk
her cow, leaving three Of her children In the
house. One Of them was q girl about five or
six years old, one a large. beautiful boy.
nearly two years old, and one = n infant.
The girl was standing at the window, rock
ing the cradle, and watching her. mother,
while the little boy was playing with some
paper on the floor. He perhaps attempted
to put the paper IN the stove, when 1t caught
tire anu fell on the 1oor, at his feet, setting
fire to his clothing. HIS screams drew the
attention OF his sister, and she soon alarmed
her mother, who ran In, and found the child
wrapped in flames. The clothing Was strip
ped OF as quickly as possible, and a physi-
clan sent for. In the meantime SINE neigh
Ing ladies' ran In. and everything possible
was done for the little sufferer. DIR. Cham
bars soon arrived, and gave directions for
treatment. and DR.. Alexander was also called
In. Everything has been done for the child,
but 1t is feared that It cannot live. The burn
Is on the right side, and extends from the
calf Of the leg to the top of the ear. The
face Is frIghtfully burned. and the ear and
neck are perfectly raw The entire right
hip aud shoulder, and most OF the right side
are badly burned. The child was In perfect
agony, and Its tossing about made the mat
ter worse. 1t was impossible to,hold 1t still.
1t was q scene OF s~ufsringhsrd to describe,
and such as we hope never to witness
again.
Mr.. Craig is a hardworking carpenter, and
was in Dover, on business, at the time OF
the accident. The whole community will
deeply sympsthize with the bereaved family
