LABOR STRIKE,

L
borers occurred in the parish Of St
Charles last w;eek, the strikers do.
manding an increase Of wages to 81
per day. They visited : mum Der q
plantations and forced tho hand.
thereon to quit work, assaulting and
beating those who refused to obey
them. On .eDe place they became in-
| volved in a threatening discussion
with the manager and his assistant,
who exchanged shots with the crowd
and then retreated to the railroad
and to0k die tain for New Orleans.
Application was made to Gov. Willis
for troops to qnell the threatened
disturbances, aud after affidnvits had
been made against the leaders Of the
strikers, the Louisiana Artillery,
equipped - Infantry, was sent to St.
Charles on special train, as 8 posse
comitafas to cid the Sheriff il making
arrests. No opposition was made to
the execution of the writs and all the
accused were arrested. The strikers
congregated in1 large numbers md
while avowing that they had no de.
sire to violate the law, declared their
pun pose to hold out in the demand
for an increase of wages. The accused
parties were paroled until next
morning when they we're tried before
tho Parish, Judge, rendered plea Of
gnilty Of tirspass, and were con.
demned to twenty days imprisonment
and go Cue. The prisoners we're
taken to New Orleans for. confiue-
ment, on account Of the insecurity Of
the St. Charles Jail, but after q few
days imprisonment they were all par
doned by the Governor. :.s
The militia had q very nice tune
and behaved CALAMITY, facing the
terrors Of country mud aud mosqui-
toes without trtmor, escaping with
10 greater casualty than the breaking
Of an arm by one .ppppfortnnate soldier
who fell out Of cart. # "a
There can be no doubt that had &C.
casion arisen for fighting the Field
Artillery would have proven fully
equal to the emergency, and their
cheerful response to marching orders
j. creditable to the command, but
considering the fact that no attempt
had been made to quiet the i,npend-
ing trouble through the ordinary
clIannelstof civil process, the calling
out Of the military was, to say the
least, premature. There was no evil
dence thrn, and Doue now, that the
Sheriff could not have executed any
warrant Hsced in his hands, even
without posse Of any kind.
1t is said that most of the striking
laborers in st. Charles have resumed
work. A strike is reported ID st. |
John the Baptist, and several cases
Of beating have occurred. The Gov.
ernor has been asked to send troops
to the parish, bvt Le seems dis
posed to avoid the mistake com United |

TO authorize military interference uo-

thOrities are unable to control the

IT does one good to read the edi-

sterling newspaper, the Indianapolis
Journal, and observe the progress
of the campaign in that state. 1t
shows that the spirit of Morton is
not dead yet, but that the republi>
cans know how to work, and that
they have the zeal and courage
which foreshadows success and VIC
tory. The canvass has opened in
real earnest, and every inch of the
ground is being CALAMITY contested.
Mr.. Porter, the republican candidate
for governor, is hard at work, with
a zeal born Of earnest convictions.

when Porter gets into the executive

A correspondent writing to the

DEM from Tennessee gives
mournful picture of democratic dis
sensions there. He thinks that the
low-tax repudiating democrats in
tend to make trouble as they are
doing in Virginia, and that "unless
the democratic state convention puts
in the field competent man for
governor upon clean and clear
platform, meaning something, there
are hundreds of good democrats in

publican candidate, and thousands
who will not vote at all for gov

has been fully restored. The BUSH
ness of the country has revived,
and everything points to an era of
prosperity that will surpass any
thing in the history of the republic.
Labor is employed at remunerative
wages. Four years ago a change
was demanded by thousands
who now for reasons above
stated will demand that no
change shall be made. There are
thousands Of intelligent business
men, merchants and laboring men,
in ever state in the union, who be-
lieve that, should the democratic
party come into power, change
will be made in the financial policy
of the nation, that will prove in

LEGATION of the proceedings of our ratifca~
ton meeting, held in the city of Columbia,
Tennessee, upon July s, 1880.
The republicans assembled Zen masse)
from all sections of Msury county, upon
the above date, at the large and commo-
dious college hall, which had been kindly
rendered for the occasion, by the proprie-
tors, the Messrs Smith Bros.
The meeting was called to order by
Samuel Arnell. and upon motion Mr.
Francis Wigfall was chosen chairman,
and Messrs. J. Fl. Kelly and J. Gregory
secretaries, u. 81. Kelly acting as stenog-
rapher.)
Judge A. M. Hughes being called to the
stand said: We are met to give our
views in regard to the nomination made at
Chicago. have little doubt that nineteen
out of every twenty of you expected that
that nomination would have been one we
all know. I mean Gen. Q. s. Grant
(Applause) While think the conven-
respects they met as republicans; from one
end of the country to the other, from
Maine to Florida. In their wisdom they
saw tit to present to the country the name
of James A. Garfield.
me question will, no doubt, come to the
e nI1 OF some: Who is James A. Gar
nelq Twill tell you. He is a man from
the lower WalKs of life; born in poverty.
His father died in his younger vesrs. leay.
ing him alone. He had a noble sonl within
him, and felt that this was a free oo "rtr1
and that he had to get an education Il
fifteen, without money or friends, / see him
as canal boy, earning the pitiful sum Of
six dollars per month, working six hours
per day and resting six. By this means he
earned money enough to 60 to school, and
finally to enter college, and by industry
and energy he obtained a good education.
Next we find him representing his people
in the Ohio legislature. What further,
about fifteen or twenty years ago
the people of Ohio thought
proper to send him to the
congress of the United States. He went
and remained there until now. A short
time ago. the legislature of Ohio thought it
proper to send him to the senate Of the
United States. He has grown by his own
industry and energy. Phey call him q

ARGUMENT Is FOR BUSINESS
MEN.

-Four years ago the democratic
party had an advantage that it has
not now. Then, hard times were
upon the country. Factories, rolls
ing mills, foundries and workshops
were closed, and the unemployed
numbered hundreds of thousands.
Now the hum of industry is heard
everywhere throughout the land.
Farmers have made good crops, and
are securing ready market for the
products of their industry. Then,
when laboring men were in great
distress, their families living on the
shortest allowance; when the wolf
Of adversely stood at the doors Of
thousands, the talk about unlimited
greenbacks and plenty of money
had some fascination in it. The de-
mand for change met with cor.
dial response from many an honest
heart. But the republican party
had the courage to stand up fol
something that would give perma
nent relief. 1t had promised wher
the greenbacks were issued thai
they should be made as good al
gold, and they determined to res
deem that promise, knowing thai
permanent prosperity could come in
no other way.
They succeeded. We have re-
sumed. Our currency is now estab.
lished on firm basis. Confidence

LAST week the Nashville American,
Memphis Appeal, and Chattanooga
Times, the three leading democratic
papers in Tennessee, published with
great gusto what purported to be an
extract from a judicial opinion, de-
livered by Judge Swayne, of the
United States supreme court, in
which Gen. Garfield was severely
criticised because of his connection
with the De Golyer pavement scans
DIAL. It turned out that there was
not one word Of truth in the charge,
and that the language credited by
Judge Swayne was used by ex-
Senator Doolittle, a democratic
lawyer. These, and all other re~
spectacle newspapers that have
made the publication, owe it to
themselves to correct it. Many
persons read no other paper than
one of these, and unless the cor
rection is made in their columns,
their readers may believe it is true.
The charge originated with the New
York World, and doubtless our con.
temporaries when they published
it, thought there was some truth in
it, but now, unless they correct it,
they will become parties to the
baseless SANDER.
