DEMOCRATIC PARISH COMMITTEES

The attention of the parish committees OF
the Democratic Conservative party through
out the State Is specially called to the re-
quest OF Hon. Albert VOORHEES,, chairman OF
the State Central Committee, published
In another column, that they will forward
without delay to him at the Headquar-
tiers, No. sc St Charles street. full and re-
vised list Of all their members and officers,
and OF the local party nominees, with their
postoffice addresses.
This IS an important matter, and the in
formation desired is essentially requisite to
proper and vigorous conduct of the cam
paign, and we trust the chairmen Of the va
rious committees will take immediate action
In the matter.
The attention Of the committee Of Grant
parish is called to the mass meeting which
has been arranged for at Colfax for the nine
teenth Of November, and that Of Caldwell
parish to the fact that the mass meeting ad-
vertised to take place at Columbia, on the
fourth OF November, has been postponed to
the fifth. The extra meeting at Colfax, and
the change Of time for the meeting at Colum-
bia, were at the special request Of the citizens
Of the respective parishes.

ABOUT THE LEVEE SHEDS.

While the City Administrators are listening
to the propositions Of the gentlemen who de-
sire to erect sheds upon the levee for the pro-
lection Of freights, it would be well for them
to bear In mind the fact that this matter Is
one which the larger part OF the community
has an interest. The few can always organize
and have their views represented, but the
many find this difficult, and generally 60 I'm
represented. They are none the less entitled
to consideration, however, and their cause is
Just as real and just as important, although
1T may be without an advocate. The City
Administrators should remember this and
give ear to the eloquent though modest plea
OF the great commercial community.
There can be no question that the construc-
ton Of sheds along the levee in the manner
and for the purpose described would add very
largely to the facilities and advantages Of our
port. We do not doubt that Ii such sheds
could be erected without imposing any burden
upon trade or creating an enforced charge in
quarters where such charge would be irk-
some, the enterprise would prove a benefit

A CYCLONE COMING.

There is evidently q Radical printer EN-
ployed on the New Orleans Times, and the
manner in which he gets In his work is, to say
the least very artistic, though doubtless ex-
asperating to the rabid Democrat who does
the heavy political writing for that journal.
On Sunday the Times had a very euloglstic
article on the national Democracy, and among
other very flattertng things said:
And SO to-day the party is found defending
and UNFOLDING some of tue pouhaHst end most
deeply cherished principles oil American con-
stitutional law. To those who believe that the
| safety Of the Republic and the perpetnity of fre
institutions will depend upon the maintenance
of the dual character of our governmental per-
petual union of indestructibe States Ito all
such the Democratic party seems the only bull
wark against advancing civilization.
Now the idea Of destroying the Democratic
party and engaging a Democratic writer by
simply changing the word contradiction to
civilization could only have occurred to a
Radical of the deepest and most malignant
dye. We haven't heard of any murder round
at the Times office, but when the cyclone OF
editorial wrath strikes that printer we shall
have an artist on the spot to describe the
scene and to chronicle the humiliation OF a
Radical emissary in a Democratic camp.

BONDS.
End OF September.
Tntnl. -

From Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chi
cago, st. Louis, Cincinnati and all the cities
and towns OF Importance In the North East
and West, comes the same news OF advancing
values and increasing trade and prosperity.
The wave Is spreading over the entire country,
and the South should rouse herself from her
lethargy and step briskly forward in order to
place herself In position to realize to the
fullest possible extent the benefits which
should accrue to her from the changed condi-
ton OF affairs. The prices for all her pro
ducts have risen and are rising, and what Is
needed now Is intelligence on the part OF our
planters and merchants to appreciate the stu
alton and foresight to make the most OF It.
Our planters should be looking forward now
to securing and organizing their labor for the
next season, and little judiclous expenditure
at this time might easily bring to Louisiana
some OF the many dissatisfied and maltreated
Irish and English farmers who are looking to
America as their future home. Our merchants
should wake up to the fact that this Is an
era OF competition and that customers NO
longer seek dealers, but that sellers 20 to
buyers. They should render 1t impossible
for st. Louis or Cincinnati to sell sugar and
molasses to Pontchatoula and Amite City.
and they should send over to Texas intelli-
gent and energetic statesmen who will know
how to meet the drummers OF the West and
North, and how to represent the advantages
OF New Orleans as a market. There Is only
one way to secure the trade OF Texas, and
that is to offer superior Inducements for it to
come here, and unless we are prepared to do
that we may as we'll abandon the idea. The
times are now most propitious for the inau-
guration OF new enterprises, the building OF
factories OF all kinds and for the investment
of capital In legitimate business Let those
who have their capital stored up in banks or
tied up In United States bonds now use 1t for
the advancement OF commerce. The DAYS OF
shrinkages and of failures are past, and New
Orleans, with her advantages of location and
climate, should profit more largely by the
resumption OF general prosperity than any
other city In the Union.

New York, it seems, is not to have It's
obelisk after ALL When one of Cleopatra's
needles was landed safely at London and set
up in that city some time ago New York
thought it absolutely necessary to have a
s'needle" of it's own. The matter was agitated
in the papers and the Khedive finally per-
suaded to donate one Of his monolinths to the
largest city OF America. ALI the arrange
ments for bringing the Egyptian monument
over to this country had been made at con-
siderable expense, the machinery necessary
for transferring the obelisk purchased by
Lieut.. Corning, who had the matter in hand
and work on the removal begun, when the in
satiable creditors Of the Khedive stepped In and
seized the needle" as part Of the estate of
Ismail Pasha.

and blessing. Our wharves ought to be
provided with improved means OF protecting
merchandise, and we should In all things keep
pace with the demands and necessities oi
trade. But we cannot afford to do this
by species OF violence, by subject
ing some to burdens which they
are unable to sustain, or by forcing
others to participate In progressive methods
which they may consider expensive or I'M
necessary. 10 give an undertaking OF this
kind the proper popularity 1t should involve
nothing In the nature Of a monopoly or an en-
forcement We still hold that 1t would be un-
wise, Ii not absolutely suicidal, to grant a
charter such as is contemplated by the gen.
tlemen proposing to erect these sheds. Not
only Is the twenty -iive-year right untenable,
but we are of opinion that many OF the items
In the proposed tariff are equally so. AS con-
Germs the matter OF cotton, for example
In the first place, cotton does not remain
upon the levee more than twenty-four hours,
except In rare instances, and to perpetuate
for twenty-five years charge Of five cents a
bale for this protection would be simply
monstrous.
There Is something very alluring In the
idea Of commercial progress, enlightened
trade-policy, and all that. but 1t Is very pos
sible under this seductive guise to entrap
unwary people and to injure unsuspecting
communities beyond reparation. It Is neces-
sary to investigate very closely all such
propositions before embracing them. and we
again urge our city fathers to make haste
very slowly In the granting Of this franchise
and In imposing 1t with oil that it involves
upon q city already too much embarrassed
In Its struggle for existence and fortune.

News from London confirms the capture Of

News from London confirms the capture Of
the Peruvian ironclad ram Huascar by the
EhiIian fleet. The fight appears to have been
an exciting and warm one and bears consid-
cradle resemblance to that fought early 10
HE war ii which the Peruvian ship Union
was sunk. Two CHILEAN vessels engaged the
Huascar and finally succeeded In capturing
her after ali three vessels were seriously
damaged. tt is also stated that the crew OF
ina Huascar was massacred by the Chilians.

given.

The other day Mississippi planter ordered

The other day Mississippi planter ordered
out three teams for the purpose OF sending to
the railroad, q long distance off, number OF
negroes who were anxious to get to Kansas.
This act has greatly surprised certain of the
Northern papers, who are seeking an explana-
tion of it. II they were not 50 far from the
scene they would readily understand 1t. The
average negro who turns his face Kansasward
h is looking for place where he can live with
out work. 1t is that kind of negro that the
average planter does not care to have on his
plantation. The conduct that has 50 greatly
surprised the Northern editors Is thus easily
accounted for.

The Governor Of Florida will probably call
an extra session OF the Legislature for the
purpose OF submitting the proposition of the
proprletors Of the Florida ship canal. These
gentlemen, it is said, have agreed to comply
with the conditions prescribed by Gov. Drew,
and to deposit $4,000 to cover the expenses
OF the extra session. It is expected that this
will be called at an early day. and the canal
