BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER a. 1880
To Members Of the Press.

Having been requested by number
of the press of this State to act as Pro-
visional President Of the proposed Con.
vcntion until it shall have met and
organized in due form, have as
sumed the duties imposed upon me
and hereby call upon the editors and
publishers throughout the State to meet
in Convention in the city of Baton
Rouge, on the SECOND MONDAY. OF
October, 1880.
~ All editors are requested to urge
full attendance at the time and place
desi gnatcl. ii. j. HYAMS,
Editor Sugar Planter, Provisional President.
In furtlcrancc of the above call, Mr..
Hyams addressed letters to the Captains
of the steamers Gay and Cannon to as.
certain upon what terms they would
convey members of the press to and
from the objective point, They readily
responded, agreeing to carry them at
half-ratcs. These letters were placed in
our hands for publication, but in the
rush of work last week they were mis-
placed, which accounts ior their non.
appearance in this connection. Suffice
it to say, however, that the press rep
rescntativcs will be carried upon these
boats for halt-turc.
The Cannon leaves New Orleans Sat.
urday evening at 5 o'clock, reaching
here Sunday evening. The Gay leaves
Bayou Sara during Saturday night and
reaches here about noon.

J. W. GREEN,
General Manager ViCksburg Shreveport and
Pacific Railroad,
The time is so short that it will be
impossible, in view Of the numbcrlcss
lines of transportation, for the President
and his committees to make definite
arrangements with each. Therefore,
let all directly interested attend to their
own routes for the present year.
Next year permanent officers, with
full authority to act and plenty of time,
Can do the work more thoroughly and
satisfactorily.

A DICTATOR M MAiNE.

Rascally politicians are determined
20 rule or ruin TIE country. The expe-
rience of Jefferson Davis, who, acting
upon that principle, left his seat in the
United States Senate to assume the
Presidency Of the Southern Confedera-
cy, has tslgnt them nothing. Garce-
lon and his friends, in his Council in
Maine, saw Jcmi made triumphant in
American politics by the action OF the
louisiana Returning Board, aud they
concluded to follow the example Of Mad
son Wells and his co-conspirators, by
subverting the will of the majority and
returning as elected men who were de-
feated at the polls. The result is
anarchy in one of the most peaceably-
disposed States in the Union. Maine
Is to-day without legally constituted
government. The authority of the man
elected to fill the gubernatorial chair by
the Fusionist Legislature IS not ac-
knowledged or respected by the Repub-
lean members of the Legislature, and
his orders are disobeyed by the civil
and military authorities, The govern
ment is usurpel by General Chamber
lain, who, as commander of the militia,
is backed by bayonets. and the sltua-
tionis as critical as it was in Louisiana
when Nichols and Packard, each claim
ing to be the constitutionally elected
Governor, set up rival governments.
By-an attempt to set aside the will OF
the majority as expressed at the ballot
box, upon what is asserted to be the
rules and presidents established by the
Republicans, State OF the Union is
Nexicanized and its government is in
the hands OF military dictator.
American citizens, without dlstinc-
tion OF party, must condemn such out
RACES. 1t will not do for one party to
defend the Louisiana frauds heeanse
that party profited by them for time,
aad-denounce the Maine frauds because
tae other party hopes to gain temporary
control of the State government By
their success. The people must con-
denim such outrages, regardless Of the
patty which profits by or perpetrates.
them. The will OF the majority. as
consstutionally expressed at the ballot
box. should be respected by the minori-
ty, otherwise our Government is
failure. There are political issues on
which men honestly differ, and if the
expressed viii Of the majority on those
isSnss is set aside BY returning boards,
elections are a farce and the ballot-box
huhbug. The Louisiana frauds made
Hayes President of the United States,
but that wrong cannot be rightea by
making man Governor of Maine who
was not constitutionally elected. Il
cost blood and treasure to establish the
principle that the people should rule in
the United States: and if that principle
were worth fighting for III 1876. it
should nov be perpetuated at whatever
cost, and neither Republican nor Dem
ocratic scoundrels should be allowed to
violate it with impunity. 80

Soft drifts Of porfumed light
A miracle Of mingled IRE and snow
laugh Of Springs delight
their ranks Of creamy splendor pillow deep
The valleys pure repOse;
On mOssy walls, IN meadow hooks, they heap
surges Of frosted rose.
Around old homesteads, clustering thick, they
shed
Their sweets TO murm'ring bees,
And DER hushed lanes and way. side fountains
Their pictured canoples.
Greer. breasted lnoils and forest edges wear
Their beautiful array:
And lonesome graves are sheltered, here and

with their memorial spray.
The efiiorescence on unnumbered boughs
Pants with delicious breath;
Ger me seem laughing eyes and fair, smooth
brows,
And shapes too sweet for death.
Clusters Of dimpled faces float between
The soft, caressing plumes,
And lovely creatures mong the branches
Lulied by faint, flower. born tunes.
A ride wind blows, and, as the blossoms fall
My heart isborne away:
Fainter and fainter tender voices call
OF my enamored May.
Fainter and fainter-oh, hoy strange II seems
With so much sweetness fed

That, living, he h dead

A Curious Russian Custom.

THE strange ceremony of plowing
aroung q village in order to drive away
the cattle plague recently took place in
one of the villages of Russia. The
RuSsby Courier describes it thus: 'In
the month of March the cattle plague
broke out in the village of Ozersk, in
the province of Kaluga. In few days
thirteen COWS died, and the peasants
were panic stricken. After warm dis
cussiOns, it was decided to drive out the
plague after the manner of our fore
fathers in similar emergencies--that is,
by plowing around the village. On
March 10, at midnight, all the women
of the village assembled at spot, to
which were brought the things needed
for that half pagan, half Christian cere-
mony, to-wit, a holy image, a plow,
harness, a bag of sand, and pail of tar
A strong young woman was harnessed
to the plow, and, with the assistance of
two other girls, proceeded to pull it
along. A young girl carrying the holy
image (ik0nG) headed the procession; (;
she was followed by an old woman with
the sand bag, who threw the sand right
and left, the plowing party trying to
woman with the tar pail besprinkled the
soil with tar. A crowd of girls and
women followed, each carrying some
article with which to make q noise,
scythes, tin cans, iron pans, boilers, ba-
sins, pokers, and other utensils. Though
the noise made was indescribable, and
the women's yelling and shouting inces-
SAINT, they were Intellectual to frighten
OFF the plague spirit. for its ravages in
that village are undiminished."

fungoid origin Of whooping cough, as

from malt and hops the amount of in
toxication. would be very sensibly di-
