THE SPIRIT OF RADIOAL1sM.

For the guidance Of our citizens, on
next Tuesday, wc have thoughtitpropeI
to lot them SEQ tho spirit that guides
tho Republican party ut tho North.
Among tho mass of abuse Of the South
crn people which il to be found in the
Cincinnati Commercial Of tho ed inst,
we have cnlled "A Marching Song foi
Republican Hosts"
Our readers will recognize the same
vindictiyencss that characterized too
many, unfortunately, Of tho Federal bat.
talions during the late war, when the
work OF devastation accompanied their
footsteps through the South.
Fifteen years have elapsed since the
Southern armies, overwhelmed by num-
bers were compelled to disband and the
soldiers returned to their homes trusting
that the North would be satisfied ifthey
accepted tho result in good faith and
recognized anew tho supremacy Of tho
Union and the Constitution.
We all remember how the Radical
party took advantage Of the disarned
South, by importing the most degrading
rule upon her people.
Our people wthstood nil this without
rushing to arms to repcl the robbers Of
their property, their honor and their ill.,
critics.
fet the RnHcal purity il not satintcd.
they made 4 cemetery OF tho South by
Strengthening Der sons on their very
hcarthstoncs and they now propose to
continue the war upon the children Of
the whites whose blood stained the soil
Of their nativity.
The Democratic party led by Hancock
desires to stop this cruel war aud permit
the Southern people to govern their
States as long rs they remain loyal to
the Union.
Can n Southern man hesitate next
Tuesday as to the ticket that he will
vote.
There can be but one answer on the
lips of every brave man, who loves his
family, his ncighbors and his State.

marching song:

Godcy's Lady's Book for November is
full OF interesting matt.r. Darlcy's
tacllc pencil gives MS another scene from
Dickens works, Lits|r Nc'l and her
grandfather escaping from tAc fair. The
old mans eager face and stumbling hur-
ry, the rhid's fearful backward glance,
are TT strong contrast to the careless
gfouPs in the background. The whole
scene is liirlike, and one of tho best
"oarley's" yet given in this ever popn-
lar magazine. In the Novelty Page we
nave some new and quaint designs for
the new fancy work, etching cmbroidc-
ry, and, as usual, page after page Of
hints for ladies' costumes. The Diagram

either n smock costume or u princess
dress, as the fancy Of the maker die
tatcs, or both, if trihing addition is
made to the princess dress. The literary
matter is fully up to its usual standard
Of excellence. Christian Reds popular
novel is continued, and Tiers are CAPT
tai stores and poems from the pens of
Margaret Vnndcgritt, Augusta Dc Bub-
ma, LceC. Hardy, and other well known
writer's. We leam that Godcy's Ladys

ColtaX Chronicle: A young married man
living opposite ColIaX, Rapidcs parish,
by the name Of Morintinr. has won an
mcnviable reputation as witc-beatcr
in the last few days. From the remarks
we have head he can consider himself
lucky in not catching duckiny in the
river
FeHciama Sentinel AS a sion of
improvement in the condition of fnau-
ccS Of this Parish, no better cases could
be cited than that all the Jurors in the
last term OF the District Court, after
securing their certificates walked into
the Trcasurcr's office and drew the cash
for the same. Treasurer Fisher has shown
considerable financial ability during his
term of office and to his honesty and
capacity much is due for this happy
result.

A SQUARE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

On next Tuesday tho voters Of thin
parish will have before them the NJ
tional Democratic ticket for President
and Congressman.
No man can cover himself with tho
excuse that the Hancock and Robertson
ticket ia the creation Of what some Of our
'e''"w-c'tizens are pleased to term stho
ring"
Local issues, local jealoasies, local
an'mosities, will be entirely out Of tho /.
question which is to be disputed Mt the
polls from Maine to Texas.
Those citizens who complain that tho
control Of tho party Is not in the hands
Of mon as worthy, as self sacrificing a,xl
as yirtuous Us themselves, will haven
splendid opportunity afforded tlom to
show the people that they arc the real
patriots of the Democratic party of East
Baton Rouge.
1t IL no use to conceal it, but for some
time back systematic series Of efforts
has been made, by attacking and con-
demning every net Of the Democratic
oflice'holders Of this parish, to break tho
confidence Of the people In tho mon
whom they elected to fiji tho local
offices.
Much Of the apathy that has existed
during tho present campaign IL the re-
suit Of the divisions TINT have thus been
created within the party.
Tuesday will show whether those
citizens who have had nanght but words
OF condemnation in their mouths to
utter against tho local officials are true
Democrats vt heart.
II they are, they will have fine op-
portnnity to show their colors.
No one can be accused Of voting with
the strong side in this contest, as moth
ing but the returns from the whole Union
can disclose which of tho two contend
ing parties will have the supremacy.
Those who vote the Democratic ticket
on Tuesday, will have the undoubted
right of claiming that they are Demo-
Gratis.
Those who vote the other way must
surely be classed accordingly.

GREENBACK CONVENTION.

Although looking as if by design, it seems
to have been by sheer accident that the Green
back County Convention was called at Ottawa
on the same day with the democratic conven-
ton. 1t certainly was called with no idea OF
an understanding between or fusion OF the
two bodies, for the subject was never limited at
in either.
The Greenback convention met at the City
Hall and was organized by calling DR.. NJ.
Woolley to the chair and appointing p. ID.
Crimmlns secretary.
A committee on credentials reported dele
gates present from 16 of the 81 towns in the
county. Stragglers from few other towns
were taken in, so that about 10 towns were rep
resented.
The business before The convention was an
nounced to be to nominate z county ticket, and
Mr.. Mclaughlin moved to proceed 10 do so;
but although nobody seemed to object to the
motion, half an hour was spent in absurd and
childish wrangling before the motion was put,
the main difficulty beng the hopeless incom-
potency of the chairman and the singular ig-
