that way con compensate the risks to
be encounteredi TO persist in this
course will place both he and those
who support him in such light be-
fore the community that their hearts
will forever be filed with reproach
for the action.
Ifthese reasons, that should impress
themselves firmly on the minds Of
every calm and dispassionate citizen,
are to be unhceded and the gage Of
battle is thrown down, then we will
accept the challenge and cali once
again upon the gallant Democracy Of
East Baton Rouge to rally around the
standard that they have so often car
ried to victory, and to form in solid
phalanx, shoulder to shoulder, and
thus march to the front, determined
to do the utmost to sweep from be-
fore them those men who, forgetful
of the duty they owe their State aud
their community, are organizing an
opposition that has nojust reason to
exist. F'2
In this movement to crush those
who are carried away by their pre-
JUDGES, either personal or political,
the Democracy will be joined, we are
sure, by a sufficient number of the
voters Of other parties, who have the
interest Of the community at heart, to
effectually sustain the ticket submit
ted to the people by the Parish Com
mittee.
Our last words now to our patriotic
citizens are: Register, organize, and
work necessarily from this moment
until the SUN sets over the triumph
that will be contained in the ballot
boxes on the 18th of March for the
E"Capital Democratic Tickctr'

WATCH THE CORNERS.

"The bonded debt of this State will
be thoroughly examined by the Consti-
tutional Convention. There is q belief
among the people that large portion
of the bonded debt of the State was is
sued in violation of law and without
value received. The debt will therefore
be carefully examined, and the illegal
portion eliminated. This will raise the
cry of reputation, and in the opinion of
some very good people, the financial
honor of the State will likely be ruined.
A morning paper declares that Governor
Nichols will resign the moment any at
tempt is made to interfere with the
debt as it stands to-day. This will not
change the determination of the people
to have the State debt carefully exam
ined. They are willing to pay all honest
obligations whether funded or not, but
they are not willing to pay dishonest
debt simply because it has been funded.
-New Orleans Post.
The bondholders, it is well known,
while they join in the loud cry Of re-
form and retrenchment, are trying TO
get their little arork IN! They want
to elect quietly on other issues ma
,iority in the Convention that wiV pre-
serre intact the fraudulent State bonds
and the erorbitdnt interest thereon at
tached !
What the people want is thorough
sitting of the State debt, and a reduc-
ton of the burdensome rate of inter
est. Not reputation, but fair play,
and down with the five and a halt
mills tax, which amounts to nearly a
million dollars annually, levied as
blood money!!

TO THE VOTERS OF THE PARISH
OF EAST BATON Rouge.

Rooms OF CONSERVATIVE
PARISH CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
Baton Rouge, Feb. "a, 1879.
On the 18th day of March next, you
will be called on to select represent
atives to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, which meets in New Orleans on
the 2lst of April, 1879.
A new constitution is to be framed
for the future government of our State
and the veal or woe of our citizens
depends entirely upon the honesty,
ability and capacity Of those entrusted
with the making Of the organic law Of
this Commonwealth.
In the selection Of representatives
to be clothed with this great response
bility, it becomes the duty of every
good citizen to aid and assist, in every
possible and legitimate way, the efforts
of those whose only object is to benefit
the whole people.
In view of the delicate and embar-
RAISING circumstances attending the
proper selection of men to represent
this parish in the Constitutional Con-
vention, the Democratic Conservative
Parish Central Executive Committee
assembled on Saturday, the ed inst,
and, after mature deliberation, de-
clined to make nominations by Parish
Convention, deeming it wise, just and
proper simply to suggest Or recommend
for your suffrage three worthy gentle
men, whom we all know and esteem,
leaving it to the good Judgment of the
people to reject or elect them.
The Committee made no nominations
bat hare earnestly recommended the
following names as most suitable at
this time:
Senatorial candidate-Col. ANDREW
S. HERON.
Representatiyes-Capt. LEON JAS
TREMsK1 and ROBERT 7. Young.
In behalf Of the Central Committee
now offer these true and faithful men
to you, hopeful yes, confident, that
they will receive your support. Party
should be lost in the desire for good
to our entire parish and State; the
slogan Of factions should he replaced
by the watchword "unity," and fol
once our people should rally under
one banner.
| Let us all do our duty a

SILVER NINE HorAJcEs.

Virginia (Nsr.) :Ests,rrise. 4
About,ten o'clock yesterday nnorn-
ing q crowbar was dropped down TIE "
main vertical shaft Of tho Savage from
the surface, and went directly through
. cage at the bottom, ercing the
bonnet and floor. No sne Was on the,
cage at the time, and noone was hurt,
yet It is unpleasant to, one naking .
trip into the mine to reflect that such
things sometimes occur. Az the bar
fell something over 500 yards i was
travelling with the rapidity and vim
ola cannon ball when it struck the
cage. A bit Of gravel no larger than
a filbcrt sings like q bullet toward the
latter part Of SUCH 9 journey Adog
once fell into a shaft at Gold Hill, and
although the shaft was but 300 feet in
depth, two men upon whom, the AMI
NAL landed were killed, as also the
clumsy cur that had failed to hop
across, the top Of the shaft A rat
once fell down the Consolidated Yir7
GINA shaft in attempting to spring
across o compartments, from wall
plate to wall plate, and 100 feet be-
low landed on the bald head Of q
miner and exploded like q bomb,
causing the miner to think q rock had
cut open the top Of his skull md lei
out his brains. A grain Of bird shot
dropped into the top Of q shaft 1900
feet in depth would probably bury
itself into a plank Or any piece q
wood it might happen to strike ut the
bottom. This being the case, we re-
peat that it is not pleasant to think o.
such things as crowbars going down
shafts. ~ :

resent this parish in the Constitutional
Convention, adopt this method of sub
hitting to you our views of some Of
the questions of paramount impor-
lance, that will have to be acted on
by the coming convention.
We do not propose to enter into a
lengthy argument of any of these
matters, but only to put conciscly
before you the course we propose to
pursue, should you think proper to
honor us with your confidence.
The poverty Of our people, and the
embarrassed condition of the financial
affairs of the country, to great ex-
tent brought upon us by the reckless
and corrupt administration of the
government, from which we have just
emerged, imperatively demand from
those you may select to represent you,
q Jealous and unremitting effort to
reform abuses of every kind, and in
this direction, the abolition of all use
less Offices, the reduction Of all sala-
ries, now much too high, to the lowest
standard, compatible with proper
and efficient service Of the public; u
reorganization of the judiciary SO as
to secure a cheaper and more speedy
administration of justice; without re-
pudiation, an adjustment Of the State
debt on such basis as will preserve
the honor and credit of the State,
relieve the taxpayers, and secure to
the States creditorsa prompt and salts
factory payment of their interest. By
these and other economical means,
our impoverished people, overbur-
dened with q taxation that threatens
confiscation, will be relieved, the
FRUSTRATED industries Of the country
will again revive, and with restored
energies, every one will hopefully
strive to bring back to our dear old
State that prosperity to which she has
so long been a stranger.
For the accomplishment of all these
reforms, we promise our earnest and
active cooperation.
Many Of the colored voters look with
suspicion upon the convention, fear
ing an attempt to interfere with their
rights, protected by the present con-
stitution.
We believe it would be impOlitic,
unwise and wrong to incorporate III
the constitution of the State, any
clause having the effect, directly or
indirectly, of abridging the rights Of
any class Of citizens, colored or white,
as possessed and enjoyed by them
under the present constitution, and
we pledge ourselves to actively use
every effort in our power to prevent
any such abridgnent, and will strive
to secure to the cOlored citizens, the
rights they now enjoy.
1t is useless to say that we will de-
vote ourselves untiringly to carrying
out the will of the people of the State
expressed ut the late election, in favor
of the removal of the seat of govern.

Rouge, measure not only of immense
local interest, but also one of para

reform and economy.

wrenched and Racked

BY the pangs of rheumatism, the joints eventu-
ally become previously distorted, and some-
times assume an almost grotesque deformlty.
To prevent such results by simple and agreea-
Bile means is certainly the part of wisdom. A
tendency to rheumatic ailments may be success
fully combatted with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
a medicine with the prestige Of q long and sue
cessful career. Of unbounded popularity, and Of
emphatic professional endorsement. 1t removes
from the blood those i~nfammatory impurities
which pathologists assign as the cause Of rheu-
matism, and not only purihes the life current,
but enriches it, promoting vigor by fertilizing its
source. Digestion, the action Of the bowels and
the secretion Of the bile. are aided by it. and
it impels the kidneys and bladder to a regular
and active performance Of their functions. 1t
is besides a thoroughly reliable remedy for. and
means of preventing. periodic fevers.
