MISSED THE PEN1TENTIARY
BY ONE VOTE.

The man Lanicr, who, IN co''c'''d-
inga yillainous article againstlls III his
North Louisiana Republican, ,anno"'c-
cd his intention to bring forth IN the
next number Of his paper, "his vindi-
cation signed by the best citizens OF
East Carroll" having tniIed to carry
out his boast, we have concluded !"
end our expose Of his character by
stating tho fact that during our late
visit to New Orleans the Deputy Clerk
Of tho Criminal Court, from infor'na-
ton taken from the record OF the old
Supcrior Criminal Court, showed that
B. II. Lanicr after several postpone
mcuts Of. the investigation of the
charge Of cmbczzling, us Tax Collec-
tor tho moneys Of the State, was tried
in 1878, the jury faili"g to agree,
there being, so it was currently "-
portcd around tho Court, ELEVEN JU-
uous roR CONVICTION against ONE
for acquittal. When the superior
Criminal Court was abolished under
the operation Of the new Constitution,
in consideration Of the heavy cost
which lla,l attended the attempts I"
bring Lanier to trial in years past, for
the reason that witnesses had to bc
brought to New Orleans from the par
jsl of East Carroll, the District At
torney allowed Lnnier to 80 unvl'ip-
ped Of justice by entering II m'''
prosrqui. Thus did he escape the
pcnitentiary.
Such is the man, whom the lInycS
administration has appointed II Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue, il
acknowledgement for the ISLANDERS l'
brings forth in his paper against ti''
Democratic party and the Sonthcr'
people generally.
Our task has now ended, and III
stands exposed in his true light be
fore the press and the people that h
has robbed and outraged.
We care no more for his curses thai
. we do the l,owlings Of the prairie doe
, We shall notice him no longer.

AROUND The CRESCENT CITY.

On Wednesday evening last we
took our departure on the steamer
Gay for New Orleans. Besides the
goodly numbcrof cotton bales already
on board, Baton Rouge added fully
one hundred bales more /" the cargo.
A cool northcr was blowing render
ing the atmosphere somewhat "win-
tcrish." Our summer "gct-np' we
soon found rather thin and us an Off
srt We came to the conclusion that we
would establish ourlIcmlq quarters with
in the cabin. When bed time came,
- survey of the situation caused MS to
adopt the plan of conccnt!ntinsaIl the
bed cover that we could gather. So
We stripped the top berth and in that
way managed to make ont for the
night in the lower one.
We reached the city before break
fast time on Thursday and repaired
to the Cosmopolitan Restaurant on
Royal street, where Mr.. Chaplain met
us with his usual greeting: "Won't
YOU have " toady!' OF course, we
excused Ourself; we hardly ever in
dulscd 50 early in the morning, etc
After q breakfast such as that favor
| |itc establishment furnishes them, we
felt in trim to sec all that was to bt
seen around the city.
Already the streets rcsollnd will
the hum of traffic; the heccy staple is
daily arriving in increasing supply
and strangers arc coming i'll from cv
cry direction. The awakening Of thu
great Metropolis after its slumbc
during the heated term just passc'
has arrived and ere long Canal stree
!, will be in full blast. The merchant
arc anticipating the best business sea
: son since the war and the near tutur
is radiant with hope. New Orlcan
will be saycr this year than ever be
fore; the old Opera House will be rcn
dcred brilliant by Il galaxy OF artist
, who have been engaged without re
gard to expenses. All the other thea
tres have made preparations in az
cordance with tho example set by til
| lovers of the opera thus will tn
I drama and comedy too be rendered b
| its most talented delimcatOrs.
In word, New Orleans will be tn
winter, the most enchanting city
America.
In the evening we rode out to We
End, in company with our townsme'
@ the Mcssrs. B. Though, the weatht

the eye. Darkness changed into daz-
zling lightly tho rays Of the electric
light, which gives to the scene truly
enchanting nppcaracc. In addition,
u full b.l,d Of artists iii ones soul
will, delight by the accents Of the
choicest musical molccanx which
they discourse. In spite Of tho iact
that We arc from the country, ~
charmed were We that We could not
refrain from keeping time with the
musicians, by tamboarining with our
heels on tho floor over which We
stood, whilst viewing the beautiful
women, everywhere around us. It's
no use talking, but the man who can
stand there impassioncd amid the
glare Of the electric light, the sweet
music, the lake breeze, the women oi
the Crescent City and. ..... the beer,
is. well. we have our Opin-
ion of him. That's nll.
On the following evening we called
on Coy. Wilt, whom wc found en-
ticly rccupcratcd in health. Tic re-
ccivcd us with that courtesy for which
hc is noted. He alluded during the
conversation to the matter OF the
Extra Session and announced himself
as entirely opposed tosuch measure.

"You can depend, that | will use all

his desire that the work on the Capi.
tol should be pressed as rapidly ~
possible in order that in obedience t.
, the wishes Of the people as expressed
by the Constitution the removal o
the Government to Baton Rouge nigh
not be delayed. He hoped chat rail
. way connection between New Orlcam
and Baton Rouge should be had Il
soon as possible. He would cndcavo
to be in onr city on the 4th Of Octobc
;. to attend the meeting Of the Univcr
r sity Board and pay visit to the nc,

that is superior for beef. Some OF
this beef is now finding its way from

tender. In Great Britain, the beet OF

Items From the Campaign


Maj. E. G. Camp and Mr.. VIII Bax-
ter spoke Tuesday night to . large
crowd at Cedar Bluff, In this county.
Mr.. Baxter led off in an eloquent az
p sal in favor of republican principles.
Major Camp followed. Ever fresh and
original in his thoughts, he con-
eeivsd the idea of arguing the course Of
the republican party by making an
avera &c democratic speech. He did
this to perfection, aud the idea proved
gr4Ldly successful. II good average
dem ocratic doctrine could bs heard In
every community the republican par
ty would be safe. For instance, they
honestly believe that tariff for revenue
only would be to the interest of
the great est number OF our people, and
they thus teach in all their speeches,
bat this very teaching will as surely
ruin their party as tae election day
comes. They honestly believe what
they teach. no doubt. bat they have q
b abit of believing perniciour. doctrine.
Mai. Camps idea Is novel and good.
A large and enthusiastic meeting in
Louisville. Blount county, was ad-
dr,ssed Tues lay night by r. w.
Austin and Dow Rule. Mr.. Austin
made q convincing argument, showing
that t1e republican party Is the true
friend OF the people; that it, and not
the democracy, has accomplished
resumption that it, leaders are the
lifelong advocates of good govern
ment, aud have always been friends of
the union, while the leaders of the
dem ocracy have always been foremost
in the schemes OF dissolution which
have been abundant in the land for
many years. After quite a warm
speech from Mr.. w. D. Rule, the meet
ing adjourned. -s-g-s --s-e.9 -.-r
The republican commit ee have re-
