been going it rather steep in the ex-
ercise of the pardoning power and,
in our humble opinion, though the
pardons recently granted by him
were recommended by the Lieuten-
ant Governor, Attorneys General, and
the presiding judges of the Courts
before whom the convictions were
had, his position is untenable, and
the fact of these recommendations
does not compel him to grant a par
don.

Pineville, / went to the one on this

children, and I must say that | was
agreeably entertained by the exami
nation, which was very thorough
one, commencing about 9 o'clock in

in the afternoon.
The children acquitted themselves
creditably, and displayed a thorough
knowledge of the studies they had
been pursuing during the past ses-
sion, and reflect great credit both
upon themselves and teachers, who
have proved themselves equal to the
emergency; and in several instances

-FBoM every nook and corner of
the Parish we receive good omens
and glad tidipgs of the crops. On
Monday our Town was crowded with
planters ana farmers from different
localities of the Parish, and all give
the same cheering accounts of the
corn, cotton and cane crops. They
are also in fair state of forward
ness, though some ere little in the
grass, but will catch up by the end OF
this week. As proof of all this, on
Monday, we received a beautiful and
single-fowered bouquet from tue
Durham brothers, thrifty farmers,
on Bayou Rapides, it being no less
than a full formed cotton bloom.

The enterprise of our business
men, and particularly those who adj
yertise in the DEMOCRAT, is a matter
Of sincere congratulation. 1t is now
a matter of frequent remark that
goods or articles of any kind can be
purchased in Alexandria as cheap as
they can be bought in New Orleans,
And there is no reason why this
should not be so, for these merchants
buy their supplies at the same places
where retail dealers in the City get
the goods they sell. Therefore, deal
at home and stick to home merchants.
