fought his way to his seat against q
contestant in 1876; that he was COM
plimented by being named at once by
the Speaker a. Chairman Of tho
Levee Committee, beyond question,
the most important one to tho vital
interests Of the Mississippi valley.
He has labored increasingly to 70
cure effective protection against tho
food Of the Mississippi for the in
habitants of the rich alluvial lands
lying along it's shores. We know that
Col. Robertson has served the people
we'll in the past.
We are not<or him simply because
he is able, patriotic, energetic, and
faithful to the interest Of his people,
but because it would not be right, at
this tuncture, nor wise either, to dis
place a useful representative to honor
some other gentleman by sending
him to the Congressional School for a
term or two, pending which the great
undertaking that Col. Robertson has
been so prominent in furthering
would remain in suspense.
We feel assured that the people Of
the district, appreciating Col. Rob.
ertson's services, will give him the
opportunity Of attaching his name to
| the success of the most important
measure affecting the interests Of the
Mississippi valley.

We return thanks to the New Or
leans Times, for the following COM
pliment. Coming from such high
and intelligent source, we cannot but
acknowledge our appreciation: "The
Louisiana CAPIToLlAN joins the list
of papers in favor of a State Press
Association. And by the way, the
CApIroLIAN has come to the front as
a most excellent paper, worthy Of the
support and patronage Of every wide
awake and intelligent man, not only
in its own, but the other parishes"

Baton Rouge n Seaport - VIII
Not?

Baton Rouge n Seaport - Why
Not?
Under the above caption, our New
Orleans contemporary, the Democrat,
makes some very interesting comments
which We reproduce in another column.
While it admits the possibility that
Baton Rouge may, in the future, rise to
the dignity ola seaport, it gives Mobile
Il side-wipe with regard to the insuffi-
cicnt depth of water in the passes lead
inc to her harbor. The Democrat con-
strucd our reference to the contemplated
Mobile and Baton Rouge Railway as a
project to divert the produce Of the
West to Mobile for shipment to foreign
ports. Such was not our meaning. We
clearly alluded to the fact that the lat
ter city would find it convenient to re-
ceive Western freiglts at Baton Rouge,
a point situated 130 miles above New
Orleans and save thereby considerable
time and expense.
Leaving it to the future to bring
about the consnmmation spoken OF, we
do point, as nearer one, to the estab-
lishment of cotton factories III our city,
where all the staple Of the Mississippi
Valley could be landed at small cost,
and where, too, the operatives could be
located in comfortable homes, erected
OF our highlands, producing vegetables,
which for size and quality, cannot be
surpassed anywhere. In fact, of late
years, Baton Rouge has been shipping
onions, cabbagcs and potatoes grown in
the neighborhood, which commanded
the highest price in the Western mar
kets. All the facilities for obtaining
lumber, wood fuel Or coal exist in our
city in degree which cannot be excell-
ed in the Southwest. Reference to the
census will show that the death rate
here is one aud IL half per cent, u ratio
eyilencing q healthtnlness truly Won
dcrful.
Indeed. we claim that the Capital
City Of Louisiana is a favored spot,
which capitalists and men OF enterprise
cannot long overlook.

this well timed sentiment: 'FOr

good and success next fall"

FOR HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.

We dare say that never before in
the history of our country have tile
nominees Of a convention received SO
genuine a greeting as those of Gin
cinnati. In city and hamlet-North
and South-the news that the gallant
Hancock had carried the Democratic
convention in an irresistible Outburst
of enthusiastic love and admiration
has excited demonstrations which al
ways accompany a triumphal march
to a brilliant victory.
It would be an insult to, the honor
Of the American people to doubt for
a moment that Pennsylvania's heroic
soldier statesman, her cheralier sans
peur ct sans repyoche, will sweep from
the arena an opponent whose name
has been tarnished by base official
transactions, and, above all, by COM
mitting the great crime Of giving his
vote in the Electoral Commission of
1877, to deprive President-elect Til
den of his rightful authority.
The opportunity is now presented
to brand one of the pejured arbiters
with the seal Of the popular condemn
alton aroused by the heinous deed.
1t could not be the voice Of God that
would elevate Garfield to the chair
occupied by George Washington.
On the one hand, stands Hancock.
one of the brayest of Union Generals
of the army of the Potomac prom
inent figure among the corps COM
manders; distinguished for his 10y
atty to his government and it's starry
banner; a warrior worthy Of crossing
his stainless sword with that Of our
own Robert f. Lee. Hancock, the
magnanimous foeman, whose great
heart swept over the wrongs inflicted
by Garfelds party upon his van
quished countrymen of the South ;
the standard bearer of the glorious
Democracy. For him the war ended
at Appomatox in April, 1865, when
he sheathed his sword to offer the
Olive Branch of Peace at New Or
leans, where his good name has be-
come q household word and a rally
ing cry.
On the other hand, who will sing
praises to Garfield and his second,
Chester Arthur, for whom President
Hayes, Garfeld's creature, could not
stoop so low as to even do honor.
1t cannot be; it must not be that
Garfield should receive the Presiden.
cy as g reward earned by the viola
ton of a sacred oath to respect the
will Of the people, and do but simple
justice in presence of facts.
Let there be a forward movement
all along the line till our chosen lead.
ers, Hancock and English, are dc.

There was once an eastern King who kept 8 slave whose sole duty it was to remind him every morning that there is such thing as death, and that he might possibly die. No one who has cough settled on his lungs needs any other monitor to warn him of what may happen. It is not a pleasant thought. and the victim would gladly escape from it's constant presence.
