The following letter, from on, Of the
young Democracy OF Port Hudson,
shows very clearly that the 'lronsides
Fourth Ward does not intend to leave
gap open on the rightof the line. AS
long as the patriotic citizens Of that
end of the parish remain loyal to the
solid South, the Radical bloodhonnds
who thirst for another bayonet recon
struction will find East Baton Rouge
among the treedomloving and unterri-
fed parishes Of Louisiana. We can only

West Baton Rouge.

It is with deep satisfaction that we
find it opportune to speak of the condi-
ton Of our sister parish across the Mis-
sissippi. For several years after the
close of the war, many OF her fertile
fields grew naught but wild weeds.
Little by little the hand of industry
was applied, and year after year the
sugar cane reared it's tall and green
stalks where the waste had existed.
Last year West Baton Rouge produced
in sugar alone some 5000 hogsheads.
This season there will be an increase of
at least 1900, making total Of 1900
hogsheads, which, with the molasses,
will bring something like one and a-half
millions of dollars.
Talk of the bonanzas Of Colorado and
California; but where are the counties
in those States that will come up to
that! Still, there are thousands Of
acres Of uncultivated lands belonging
principally to the Citizens Bank, that
could add their thousands of hogsheads
more, We're they put in cultivation.
West Baton Rouge is inhabited by an
industrious and hospitable population.
Nowhere in the United States can a
lovelier Eldorado be found than among
the good people Of our sister parish.

DEATH OF MAJOR JOHN PRESTON, JR.
There was a general expression of
deep regret throughout the community
on the receipt Of the melancholy intel
ligence that Majo Preston had departed
this life. He had been resident Of this
city for several years, and all those who
had come in contact with him recog-
nized in him the true gentleman in his
every action. He was one Of that type
Of Southern manhood that has furnished
to our country those soldiers and states
men whose names guild the pages of the
history Of the South, as shining exam
pies of devoted courage and the purest
patriotism. Modest and unassuming,
Major Preston was nobleman in his
manners as he was in heart. His earthly
remains repose beneath the hallowed sod
of proud South Carolina, the mother Of
his ancestry, the Hamptons and the
Prestons-his own, dear native State.
With his illustrious kinsman, General
Wade Hampton, Major Preston guided
the cavaliers of the Palmetto State on
the field where honor and duty called
them, path that he continued to fol-
low when the battle flags of the South
had been furled. As the Superintend-
ent Of one of our State institutions, the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, he was faithful
to his trust, while he was kind and con-
sidcratc towards every one. May the
consciousness that he leaves in Lons-
lana hearts who will ever honor his
memory, assnage, if possible, the indie
scribable anguish which his untimely
death has caused his aged father and
other relatives and friends, to whom we
extend our heartfelt sympathy.

CANNON ON THE MORMON QUESTION.

Delegate Cannon finds fault with the
Presidents remarks on the Mormon oues-
ton in his recent message, but it is not
easy to understand what views he wishes
to substitute for those of Mr. Hayes. He
says that the Mormons will never abandon
plural marriages, but that they can be
trusted to condemn polygamy when placed
in the jury box. That appears strange
statement, but it is what Mr.. Cannon is
represented as advancing. He further de-
MES that the Federal authorities have
made faithful and Jealous efforts to enforce
the law against Mormonism. Whether he
means to imply that if the Federal author
tiles had been more jealous they might
have put down polygamy, we do not I'M
derstand, but his position seems altogether
inconsistent with that of pillar of the
Mormon Church and an exponent and
defender of polygamy. If anything prac
teal can be gathered from what he says
we must conclude that Mormonism has
not yet been attacked with sufficient
energy by the Government, and that if it
is SO attacked, in the opinion of Delegate
Cannon, it can be made to conform to the
laws of the United States. This is quite a
new view of the Mormon situation, but it
is not cur view.

LEssEps IS A LoBBYIsT.

The report that NJ Lesseps has set aside
the sum of sS,oO0,09 for the purpose of
securing the good will of Congress and the
American press is very probably fiction,
but it is not at all out of keeping with that
bold projectors usual policy. He knows as
well as any man that it ID not necessarily
the merit of scheme which secures its ac-
complishment, and that the timely expendi-
ture of surplus capital in places "where it
awiH do the most good has often turned
the scale in favor of otherwise doubtful un-
dertakings. It is quite possible that while
he was in this country he paid
some attention to the phenomenon
called the Lobby, and that he de-
rived certain more or less definite
ideas from this investigation. It is true

NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY IT.

1t is intimated that the Democrats are
thinking of Withdrawing from their fac
tioas attitude in regard to the electoral
count, and that if their opponents do not
give way shortly they themselves will
abandon the contest rather than make
themselves responsible for obstructing leg
islation. 1t would We fear be very unlike
their traditional policy to arrive at SO sound
a decision as this. but it is impossible to
perceive what object they can have in con.
tinuing the contest. There is no possible
advantage to be secured at the present time
by insisting on the right of the House to
control the electoral count Ii the Repub.
licans conceded the point TO them they
could do nothing with it. 1t would still
be incumbent upon them to declare that
General Garfield and Chester A Ar
thur were elected President and Vice
President. AS to the future, it has
unfortunately been the practice with
both parties to let 1t take care of itself,

ent reason for believing that any assertion
OF the jurisdiction Of the House viii be of
mors use to them in 1884 than it is now.
In short time they will cease to control
the House, and unless General Garfeld's
administration should prove great disap-
pointment, which is very improbable, it is
scarcely possible that they can regain their
present position in the next four years.
In short they have nothing to gain by pur-
suing an obstructive policy. and they can
only render themselves more obnoxious to
public censure than they are now. If
therefore any sense remains to them they

and devote themselves to some more profit

THE IRISH eaIsIs.

1t is becoming more apparent every day
that Gladstone'e Government cannot sue
coed il dealing with the Irish question on
the present basis. The impossibility of
keeping up the presense Of governing that
country, while it is notorious that the laws
are systematically defed, and that an alien
organization has practically superseded
the Courts, is evident already to the Eng
fish press and people. If, as is alleged,
Mr.. Forster has distinctly declared that
he viii withdraw from Dablin unless CO.
ercion is agreed to, the Cabinet viii be
compelled to come TO decision without
further delay. Enough is known to make
it perfectly clear that the non-intervention
policy is only strengthening the Land
League, and that it is in fact taking the
government of Ireland into It's own hands
while the actual Government is looking on.
a few more weeks of this kind of thing,
and it will be impossible 80 maintain the
troops in Ireland. since it IS plain that il
they are "Boycotted, as a num-
Der of the constabulary have already
been, it will be necessary either
to withdraw them, feed them from
England, or forcibly subsist them upon the
country. In what form coercion is to be
applied, if it is decided upon, is another
difficulty. 1t is, however, always on the
cards that the Irish may solve this them.
selves by breaking out into open insurrec.
tion, and though the Land League will
doubtless do its best to prevent this, ex'
perience teaches that popular movements
of this kind always get beyond the control
of their originators after time. The
situation of the Government is certainly
most embarrassing. 1t does not wish to
resort to force, and yet it appears that nc
other course is left it. Il cannot stand by
and let the Leaguers take full possession oil
Ireland, yet that is what will happen if it
hesitatoa any longer. The presumption is
that the members of the Birmingham
school in the Cabinet will be compelled to
yield or withdraw. and that the Govern.
nent will then, however reluctantly, have
recourse to those coerciye measures which
it has tried SO long and vainly to dc
without.
