Three men Frozen on Florence Noun
tains.

News reached this city on Monday
night that three men named respec-
lively Vanburcn, McHala and Chris
tie last week started across the Flor
ence mountain for Slate creek. Van
buren, started first and two or three
days in advance. He lost his way in
the snow and wandered down the
side of the mountain and reached about
6 miles above the Slate creek house
and being bewildcred and fttigued he
there gave out and froZe to death
The others started afterwards, know
ing that Vanburen had left before
them, and Oh the way down the noun
tain they discovered traces of some
one leaving the accustomed route and
taking of down the side mountain and
on arriving at the Slate creek house
learned that Vanburen had not ar
rived, and party soon started out III
search and found the body up Slate
creek Us above described McHalt

PUBLIC LANDS.
IN. o. Picayune.l

IN. o. Picayune.l
In view of the frequent inquiries as
to public lands in this State the follow
ing information is furnished:
United States lands can be entered.
first by purchase at one dollar and
twenty-five cents per acre, or two dol
lars and fifty cents for reserved rail-
road lands; by homesteads at a cost of
fourteen dollars for Office fees and COM
missions, for section of 40 acres, and
half that amount for half section.
This requires a residence and improve
ment on homestead for five years from
the date of entry. The proof of this
residence and cultivation must be made
within seven years from the date Of
entry at a further charge of four dol
lars for quarter section, and half price
for a half quarter section, when a
patent will issue for the entry without
further charge.
2. Under the act of 1e49, Congress
turned over to the States all public
lands subject to fiuvial or tidal over
flow. Under this act survey was
made of all the lands selected by the
State. The selections approved by the
United States were registered in the
Land Office of the States and We're
subject to purchase and settlement &C.
cording to State laws. Those lands re-
served by the United States are regis
tered in the tract books Of the United
States Land Office, with list of all
lands vacant and subject to entry by
presumption, homestead, or by pur-
chase. It is noted that the sixteenth
section in every township has been re-
served by law for the purpose of pub
lie education. Public lands are di-
vided between the State and Federal
Governments and are scattered all
over the State. During the year just
closed, the entire sales of United States
lands entered for homestead purposes,
numbered over 16, 100000 acres, of
which in Louisiana there were only
80, 900 acres, while some of the other
States numbered as high as soc, 900.
The hest of the United States lands
in this State were entered long ago,
there remaining only hill and lands
valuable only for the timber which is
upon them. Emigrants can obtain good
lands on private titles at reasonable
terms, upon which are roads already
constructed. Hundreds of thousands of
acres of these lands may be obtained
with good titles all over the State.

THE GRANT BOOM.

lCincinnati Commercial, Rep.]
The Southern trip amounts to pub
lie advertisement that General Grants
longing for home scenes and friends, of
which so much was said while he was
abroad, was of singularly brief dura-
ton, and that week of the repose said
to be so essential at Galena was quite
enough. The truth is, General Grant
goes South on an electioneering tour,
and to be out of the way for a few
months, while the boom works. After
he satisfies his deep curiosity about
Cuba and Mexico, he will return to
find an organized series Of booms from
New Orleans to New York.

to the changes, possible and probable,
to come out OF the Presidential election
of the present year?
! It il no idle duty, even ordinarily,
to choose a representative In the upper
branch Of Congress. It is one, In this
juncture of National politics, the most
rejecting legislator may we'll shrink
from, and it is position the greatest
man In this State may feel a wise dis
trust in accepting. 1t seems to us that
with either the chooser, or chosen, the
leap might be justly regarded long
one in the dark.
The reasoning is plain and sensible
neither the people nor their representa-.
tives are prepared for the election of a
Senator during the next 80 days.
What is to be done ? r. F.
The legislature can refuse to elect
this term, by informal, or inefectual
balloting, and thus permit the election
to 20 over until its next term, two
years hence. This will leave ample
time for deliberation, and will not lose
the State representative in the Sen.
ate, and may save TIE Democratic
party funeral.
We may add-not having weighed
the claims of the aspirants one with
another; not knowing who they are, in
fact, and not knowing who ought to
represent Louisiana three years hence
as U. s. senator,-that we have no
Edisonian light to fash upon the Gen
eral Assembly revealing the identity
of the gentleman to be chosen by its
members. The TELEGRAPH has re-
Trained from the discharge Of duty
not yet committed to its keeping.
When that time comes, we trust we
shall not be found bringing up the
rear. At present, we can only submit
what we feel is a just and well-consid-
cred view of the Senatorial question =
and this we do only after such imma-
ture consideration as time and the sud-
denness of the question presented, have
allowed. III -

s.FOLD1NG THEIR TENTS"
That's What Many Negroes arc Doing
i'm Kansas and They are Silently
Stealing Away.
dallas (Texas) Hcrald.]


The reaction of the exodus move
ment on the part of the colored people
from this State to Kansas has set in in
earnest, and every train coming south
brings some of them back. Those that
emigrated were principally from the
southern counties. Last evening at
the Union depot Herald reporter met
with an old negro man named Ed
! mund Burleson, who had gone with
eight others of his race from Burleson
county on the 18th of November. They
went by rail to Parsons where they
found q large number of their race
quartered in the churches, school
houses and other buildings not perma-
nently occupied, like a lot of sheep
huddled together. There were tenn
porary structures of plank not much
larger than shed in which large
number of them were living. Every
empty house in the country was filled
to Its utmost. After paying their rail-
road fare, with but few exceptions,
none of them had any money left, and
when the cold snap came on their suf-
fering was terrible. The night before
he left Parsons, one of their number,
froze to death. The cold was intense,
and their clothing being thin and their
bed clothing skinny, they suffered Sc
verely. Destitute and penniless, they
have been forced to forage on the sur
rounding country for food to keep
them alive, and would have frozen to
death had they not stolen coal from
the railroad. Their depredations on
the settlers have caused an ill-feeling
on the part of the residents toward
them, and they are fast feeling the
effects of their displeasure. He says
that it took cash, and lots of it, to pur-
chase the bare necessities of life. The
only thing he saw that was cheap was
corn, which sells at from ten to twenty
eight cents a bushel. There were so
many of them together that it was i'm
possible for them to get work at any
price. Land rents are required to be
paid cash down, and the rates are gen.
orally from three to four dollars an
acre. Lands that rent at this price are
without fences or houses of any kind.
He thought the lands of Texas far su-
perior, while they produced a greater
variety, 81 would not, so far as I am
concerned, give Burleson county for
the whole of Kansas" said the old
man with much earnestness. They
wish themselves back, but the trouble
is, they have spent all their money
getting there, and but very few have
anything to got away on.

GEN. HANCOCK's CHANCES.
[Daily City Item.l

Who shall our standard bearer be for
the great presidential campaign of 1880,
is question which is often asked and
varfOusly answered. Ti1den has been
dropped from the roll as no longer
available. Bayard has attempted to
boom, but his financial views are not
broad enough to suit the great West
and South. Thurman and Hendricks
are good men, but it is uncertain
whether either of them can secure the
nomination. Who then, in view of the
probability that Gen. Grant will be
the Republican candidate, should the
Democratic standard bearer be? In
answer we have no hesitation in re-
peating the assertion we made months
ago, that Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock
should be the man. In his favor it has
been noticed as a significant fact that
Democrats who favor other candidates,
while he is the first choice of all those
who see the necessity Of opposing a
war Republican by a war Democrat.
As is we'll observed by the Washington
correspondence of the Montgomery
Advertiser and Mail "Gen. Hancock,
whose splendid valor was displayed
on so many of its fields, to whom the
greatest honor of Gettysburg is due,
who shared the dangers and the wounds
which were the common soldiers lot,
and which some Of their generals did
notshare, is peculiarly the representa-
tive of that army which did the heav-
lest fighting of the war. Gen. Hancock
would get thousands of votes in New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, where the old soldiers
Of the Army of the Potomac are thick,
which no other Democrat could get.
But in addition to his grand record as
a soldier, he is the solitary officer of
the regular army who has made him.
self illustrious by displaying in the
line of his duty profound knowledge
Of the principles Of civil liberty and of
constitutional law"
The Washington Sunday Herald of
the 4th inst. came out with most
elaborate and emphatic endorsement
OF Gen. Hancock as the only man who
can give to the Democratic party
strong assurance Of success. 1t says,
''the candidate must come from the
North, or the contest will be hopeless.
And in this sense North does not mean
Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland or Del
aware it means north of the States
which were slaveholding States when
the abolition agitation began. Letters
from Pennsylvania say: awe can
carry this State with Hancock, but
with no one else give us Hancock and
l shall go into the campaign with conf
dence."

We shall not at present undertake to
point out any of the channels into

run, but we do wish that some wind
could be let out of the bag-enough to

proper size--so that we may discuss the
question soberly.
We fear that our contemporaries are
