Taking Them Back.

Two freight wagons heavily loaded
with a dwelling house in sections,
and household furniture, passed
through town, last Wednesday. The
wagons were taking their load from
Gold Hill to Como. This caused
some of our old residents to smile,
as they remembered how, from 1865
to 1867, houses were brought to Gold
Hill from Como. And it may be
that the very same houses moved
from Como ten years ago will be
taken back there during the next
few months.

HAVE SOME UNDERSTANDING.

Last year the whole Red River
Valley was quarantined from New
Orleans, and it took some eight or
ten weeks for us to awake to the
fact that Shreveport was an availa-
bic point from which to secure the
supplies that became absolutely
necessary at that time. From the
indications at present it is fair to
infer that there is every prospect
of quarantine this year. News
reaches us from Memphis that up
to last Saturday, July 2sth. lO4
cases had been reported to the
board of health, and % deaths,
the fever having been declared cpl
demic three days before. Twenty
thousand people have left the in
fated city, and hundreds are leav-
ing daily. At New Orleans promi-
nent physicians are disputing over
the fact whether it actually exists
in that city, the idea seeming to be
to gull the country folks into a de-
fusion as to the real facts.
Now, we are no advocate of shot
gun quarantine, and would much
prefer to see steamboats, ply from
here to New Orleans, even if the
fever was epidemic there, for we
have no faith in the quarantine as
an estoppel. But our convictions
are not shared by one-tenth of the
people in this valley, and there il
every reason to believe that, should
the fever be declared epidemic, OF
even certainly make its appearance
in New Orleans, rigid quarantine
! will be enforced in Red river.
Pending such an event. we womb
ask, is it not both prudent ant
proper that the planters and .mer
chants should make some arrange
ment or have some understanding
by which two or three small boat,
will remain in the river and pl,
between Shreveport and Alexan
dria? What say all?

With the single exception of the
State debt ordinance we congratu-
late our people upon the success
which has attended the labors Of

ordinance has been so amended as
to come much nearer the wishes Of

it would. Upon this question we
reserve comment until further
consideration Of the subject in its
new attitude. This ordinance, az
we stated last week, is TO be voted
for separate and apart from the
constitution, and is not to be in
corporated in it unless a majority
Of votes so decide. We give the
ordinance as finally adopted:
