LOUIS A. WILTZ.
[Natchitoches Nindicator. ]

We believe that it is fully conceded that the
city OF New Orleans Is entitled to the gov
| ernorship at the hands OF the Democratic
party In the coming election. That city has
borne more than a just share Of all the Ills
with which our poor State has been afflicted
since 1861. Her patriotism under all difficult
ties, has been unquestioned. Indeed, the
darker our cause the brighter became the
loyalty Of her sons.
When Democracy waned elsewhere the
eternal fires of principle blazed on the altars
OF OUR CITY. In war she exhibited no more
bravery than she showed charity and loyalty
in peace. When In 1874 her gallant sons over
turned in an hour the foul government of the
usurper, Kellogg and put to flight his min
ions, her patriotism was no less then when
hundreds OF country citizens, innocent Of all
crime, were dragged by Federal hirelings be-
fore partisan courts and she poured out her
sympathy and the means to defend themA
\ The concession to her OF the honog OF
choosing q standard-bearer for the Democra-
cy In the coming canvass is as universal as 1t
S just and honorable. We are proud to know
nat she selects one of her best, purest and
~ lavest sons for that honorable post.

Manton Marble has married Mrs. Lombard,
a widow, forty and rich. Jenny June says:
"The lady's income is very large, but it dies
with her, and she therefore secures the future
of her husband by driving with him, immedi-
ateIy and secretly, to the office OF the Mutual
