Hold tlie htirror to their t4aze..

Hold the Mirror to their Gaze.
The record that the Democrats in Com
gress and in our State Legislature have
made for themselves, unpleasant as il
may be to the leaders, and to the
rank and file of the party, viii be
held up to them and the public in all its
hideOus ugliness, and its weak points and
its coalition with the. rebel elements, so
transparent in the acts of Congress, will
all be thoranghly xeatilatsd and aired be-
fore the people Of this State, to all true
men of the Republican party.
That their State legislation has been
conspicuous for fits errors, if for nothing
Of criminal character, and its ineonsist-
encies, is fact that cannot be successful
" eontradieted. It's attempt to reorgan-
ize the various penal, reformatory and
charitable institutions of the State have
proved to be miserable failures, if not, in
fact, something of a more sensurable
character, proving that they are too inn
beciIe or too dishonest to be entrusted
with the great Interests of great State
Their re-districting Of the State, out o.
4
them to eternal infamy, and will do so, il
the minds Of all honest, impartial, think
ing men.
Their late acts of Congress, in whlcI
they have sought to disarm the head o
the Government Of the power to protee
itself from efforts at rebellion and resist
ance to the enforcement of National laws
and to withhold the appropriations nee
essary to sustain the military power o
the Governments, and its use in case of in
surrection, rebellion and the collection Q
the revenues, SIS nothing short of rebelliOl
in its incipieney, or may, perhaps, be sais
TO be nothing short of revolution itself
The miserable toadyism with which north
ern men, who fought for the Union in tn
rebellion, have finally gone back on thei
war record and surrendered to the behest
of the confederate generals, who haV
been elected to Congress by the rankes
elements of Southern rebels, win all 81
cure that attention during the eampaig
to which their disloyal acts entitle then
though it be in terms not the most compl
mentary to them.
The whole legislation Of our State sc
} Ions seems to have had for its object tn
promotion of partisan Democratic inter
ests; but to such an extent have they cal
! ried this unstatesman like object that tn
recoil will be fatal to their success tn
fall, if not to their existence as politic,
/. organization. 1t is due the people that tn
t acts Oftheir public servants, or those VIII
| eho1,1d aarr5a the hast i,,fauaofS Of Tho ~,
e pie, should be made known, and the Den
ocratic party need not expect that the
record In Congress, and In our State Legi
{ lature, will be hid away from the publ
J gaze. They will be thoroughly ventilatt
and held up before the public from evel
Republican rostrum in the State, trutl
fully and fairly and deservedIy.

Getting Even.

On our first page We publish IN arti.
Gle headed "A High Old Time" which
shows to the reader that the opportuni.
ty for Kansas to get even with St. Louis
has come, and she has not been slow to
improve it. For some time past St.
Louis has been shipping all OF her exc.
dus darkies to Kansas City, and that
town protesting loudly, could not help
herself. The railroad war and the con.
segment cutting down of rates in favor
of east bound passengers, however, has
been taken advantage of BY Kansas
City to ship all Of her negro cmixrants
to st. Louis. The fare is only fifty cents.
and, at that rate Kansas City has been
able to increase the negro population Of
st. Louis very considerable. The chanc-
es are that the st. Louis authorities will
do some tall swearing.

1t is safe to say that there will not he
sufficient corn raised in this parish thi,
season tor home consumption.
Light showers fell in different nor.
IONS OF the parish last Monday, hut not
IN sufficient quantity. however, to lie Of
any benefit TO the crops.
Onr farmers should have their Paris
Green ready, and keep their eyes peeled
on that pe>tiferous varmut commonly
called the caterpillar" as they have al
ready made their appearance in the low
er part Of the State.
From our exchanges We learn that
caIterpillars have already made their an.
pearance in Alabama, Texas and some
portions OF this State. We advise our
farmer, to 20 slow in buying goods on
the strength Of cotton crop.
We are pleased to bear that work is
going on well on the farms, and that thu
c"'"red laborers have settled down to
active and honest exertiOns to make a
crop and put some money in their peck
cts, in which we cordially wish them
great success.

Lawyer Gallagher, of San Francisco,
was desperately in love with Mabel Cur
ran, b"t she cared very little for him.
tic went to her house when sue was i'll,
forced his way to her bedside, and asked
her if she would marry him. She re-
piled that che certainly wonld not.
Them" he said, as he drew q revolver,
''yon shall be- united to me in death,''
and he fired two shots-one at her and
o,e at himself. Up to this point the
affair was drsmitic. and Gallagher no
doubt intended q real tragedy. but his
aim was bad. Mabel escaped the billet
by rolling over quickly, aud it simply
made a hole In her night dress, while
the wound that he inflicted on himself
penetrated only to the breastbone.

The Drougth,

The long continued drought Of more
than six weeks has completely ruined
tho Corn crop Of this section, and in.
j''red the cotton materially. It becomes
our farmers to secure, if possible, some
kind Of forage to replace their lost corn,
and We would suggest q general plan ting
Of peas, and the saving Of as much hay
as can he cut. By this meaus . goedly
amount Of provender for stock will DC
supplied, which will save the outlay Of
money next year for corn.
