place. In this course how blinded they
are. They forget that the obligations and
duties of the government and the people
are reciprocal; that in turn for the protec-
ton that the government gives them in
life, person and property, there is due
from them everything the highest intelli-
gence and patriotism can give. Some one
has said that universal suffrage must be
blended with universal education. But
that will not suffice if good, worthy and
patriotic citizens stay away from the pri-
marics, for then, instead Of it being the
rule of wise, discreet and patriotic citizens,
it may be the reign of the base, selfish and
sordid The town meeting is the unit of
our political system it is the nursery of
civil and political liberty, but by the fail
ure of many good people to attend it is be-
coming the hot bed of venality and crime.
The next thing in our political machinery
is the convention. The duty of a delegate
is in the nature of high public trust, and
if these simple words, public trust, were
fully comprehcnded by delegates to what
an exalted plane would our system be raised.
The ethics of the law are no more fully
shown than in the doctrine Of trust, which
requires skill, integrity and the utmost
fidelity.
A higher standard should be required in
public trusts than private ones, because OF
the greater interests involved. Conventions
are not governed by such considerations,
but are controlled by the caucus, which has
been successfully manipulated by a few
men, who have laid out the programme in
advance, and then follows series OF
usurpations in the shape of suppressing
debate, assuming the right to appoint dele
gates, the enactment of the unit rule by
which the people are defrauded of their
right of appointment, and the delegates

4 THOUGHT.

The summer rose Tic sun has flushed
With crimson glory may be sweet;
'Tis swccter when the leaves are crushed
Beneath the winds and tcmpcsts feet.
The rose that waves upon its tree
In life sheds perfume all around;
More sweet the perfume floats to me
OF roses :rampled on the ground.
The waving rose with every breath
Scents carelcssly the summer air;
The wounded rose breathcs forth its death
lis sweetness far more rich and rare. -
1t is a truth beyond our ken.
And yet truth which all may read
Ii is with roses as with men,
The sweetest hearts arc those that bleed.
The flower which Bethlehem saw bloom
Out of n heart all full Of grace,
Gave never forth its full perfume
Until the cross became its base.

These are serious matters and should
be corrected, because the principle Of
whte supremacy, or the right of the
white man to control both the State
and the Democratic party, lies at the
bottom and should be brought up and
fully established or plainly reiuted. If
neglected now, the day may and will
come when orc hundred thousand negro
voters of the low country will be smart
enough to become Democrats, and with
the assistance of few whites will rule
the State. SHORT SWORD.

The States that will Settle 1t.

The electoral votes OF New
York. New jersey. and Ccnnec.
tout will determine the result of
the election. It would be diff
cult to name three States whose
people are more Industrious, In
telligent. thoughtful, and patriot
ic than thens.
These States send A N e,ubers
to the House of Representatives,,
and they cast so electoral VOTES.
With acceptable candidates on
both sides, and on a fair trial OF
strength between the two pa.rti es
all three States went for Mr..
TiIden in the spirited canvas $
OF 1876. by an aggregate majority
OF $4,000. 1t will be seen th at
this is An average majority of
more than 1000 for each Coz
gress district, and only q little
less than that for each Presiden-
tial elector.
With such a popular Demo-
cratic candidate as WINFIELD S.
HANCOCK, and suoh q tainted Re-
publican candidate as JAMES A.
GARFIELD, is there any good rea-
son for supposing that the result
in these three States this fall will
not be Q repetition Of that OF four
years ago? If any OF our es-
tsemed Republican contempt
raries are disposed to answer
this question in the affirmative,
will they explain the grounds on

Execution in Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 3.-Vil-
here Powell, age nineteen, and
Achille Thomas, age twenty-three
both colored, were hanged to-
day in front of the Court house,
St. James parish, in the presence
of three Thousand spectators, for
the murder of Theodore Gaudet,
store-keeper at Longview, on the
Goth of May last. The PRISON
ers were led out and mounted the
scafold: accompanied by the
Sheriff and Rev. Father Rena-
der. The Sheriff read the death
warrant, and aske 1 the prisoners
if they had anything to say,
Powell spoke about twenty min
utes, saying he was guilty, but
hoped to be forgiven and was
ready TO meet his maker. Thomas
followed, making short speech,
after which the caps were drawn
the nooses adjusted and the drop
fell at noon. The culprlts died
from strangulation in rs minutes.
Both confessed their guilt, stat
ing the object to be robbery.
Powell said that on The night Of
murder they went to Gaudet's
store and touk q drink, and then
asked for some goods, and when
Gandet stopped down Powell
hit him several blows over the
head with stick, while Thomas
beat him with a tailor's ironing
board. They then wrapped the
body up and robbed the store
and escaped.

DUUBTINC THOMAS.

lished last week an able letter
from the pen OF General John

GRAFT" Thomas has a longing
desire to sit in the halls OF Con-
gress, and his anxiety for the
position has enabled him to con-
clude that be can and will do
more for the people of this dis
trict than any other man. He
puts his hand upon his wise pate
aua disgorges himself thusly I:
"The body OF men that assem-
bled in Monroe On the 18th OF
August Was not a convention OF
the Democratic party, but merely
caucus of Gen. Kings friends"
Whereupon, Gen. Young de-
clares that "few Congressional
conventions have ever in this
district been SO completely rep
resentative in its character as
the one that nominated General
King
Mr.. Thomas will find, on the
ides of November, the biggest
caucus Of Kings friends "
marching solidly to the ballot
box, that ever astOnlsGea MS
great mind. He will find him
self the worst beaten Indepen-
dent that ever itchea for office.
He will find himself sunk into
that oblivion which ordinarily
obscures men who thrust them
selves upon aspeople.
It we're we'll for the would-be
Congressman Thomas to stake
down his sign' and fall into the
ranks of the liking caucus.''
King may die some day and
then-well, then We shall cast
about for another representative.

OUR FUTURE PROSPECTS.

Up to the first of August the
people Of this parish never had
brighter prospects ahead of them
than this year. Everything bade
fair for good times ahead. Labor
had been content and plentiful.
The seasons had been all that
the most confirmed croaker could
ask. Indeed, the future was
bright in all the wards. Since
that time our prospects have
been blighted. Constant rains
have done untold injury to the
cotton crops. Lands that prom
ised, at the lowest estimate, a
yield of a bale to the acre in
July, will not make the half OF it.
Grown bolls in the field are rot
ting by the million. An intelli-
gent planter, who is disposed to
look on the bright side of every
thing, told US this week that he
could not reasonably expect more
than one-third of a crop of cot
ton: Thus We find that our fu-
ture prospects are dark, indeed.
IT'S true a tremendous corn crop
is made, but there will be no
market for it, and from the pres
emit outlook, the probability is,
that the most of us will handle
but little money during the com.
ing winter.

THE SOUTH'S POSITION.

It is charged by the Republi-
can party that the South sus-
tains the attitude of a belIiger-
ent power toward the northern
section of this Union. The
charge is utterly false. It is
made for the sole purpose Of
stirring up strife. The South is
as true to the Union to-day as
New England, Her people fos-
ter no animosity toward the
North. They have made time
and again all OF the concessions
that a proud peoplesconld make
The idea OF secession is eternally
dead. Southern people do not
envy the victory won by tie
Federal forces. On the other
hand, thinking people OF the
South regard the destruction OF
the Contederacy as q God-send
and as a priceless blessing
They have been anxious for If
teen years to "shake hands over
the bloody chasm" and forget
the dead past by strenuous eff
forts to strengthen and bind to-
gether the two estraneed sec
tons Of our great country, but
Designing politicians of the north
refuse to allow an era OF peace to
exist.
Upon the eve Of every presi-
DENTAL election since the war,
the old slanderous yell Of rebel
lion has been raised, and the
hearts Of the northern people
have been fred toward the
South: No people on the globe
have ever borne, with suoh pa
tience, the gross insults that
have been imposed upon the
South since 1865. She has been
beaten with a multitude of
stripes, and has never resented
a single blow. Her position is
one of true patriotism to what
she considers now an "indissolu-
BILE Union of indestructible
States
It is therefore unkind in the
Republican party to taunt the
South with charges of treason.
The insinuation that our people
are solid for Hancock because
they desiresthe re-establishment
of ante-war measures is a libel Of
the most atrocious kind. The
South is solid for Hancock, and
Democracy because she honestly
regards him as o pure man, and
because itsis the only party thai
she can consistently endorse.
The South's position is an hon.
orable one and one Of which she
will eyer feelaproud' While she
may have done things, for which
she is sorry. the South has mever
done anything for which she is
ashamed.
And that is the South's posi-
ton to-day.
