the 'front.' both men expressing regrets that
in the course of mutable concerns their
lives'and usefulness were still eclipsed
by the lines Of single blessedness. As the
conversation proceeded reference was
made to sister Of Garrh's, who, for sew
eral years past, has been leading an hon
orable but secluded life in the House of
the Good Shepherd under the protecting
care Of the good sisters. Mr.. German
expressed desire to call on the young
lady and, with this object in view, both
men started for the institution.
The young lady, Miss Maria Garrh,
was highly pleased with the call, and Mr..
GOrman's admiration for the young
woman was unbognded. Before leaving
the institution he took the brother aside
and expressed himself completely smitten,
at the same time requesting the liberty
to propose. Mr.. German explained that
he was the proprietor of large farm un-
der perfect cultivation, with a good
house, fourteen cows and as many horses,
and unlimited poultry-everything, in
short, but the presence of loving wife
and helpmate. He proposed and was ac-
cepted instanter. 1t was explained that
urgent business required his presence at
home the next morning. and that, il con-
venient, he should be pleased to have the
ceremony take place that very afternoon.
1t was SO agreed, and the young lady
started down town for her trousseau,
meeting her intended ON the street, as
was afterward explained, without rec
ognition. About sundown the parties re-
paired to the German Catholic Church,
where modest ceremony took place,
Immediately after which the newly
welded and happy couple left this city
for their home, where, should regret be
necessary, they will repent at leisure.

GRANT vs.. HAYES.

Several copies of The Era, news
paper published in New York City,
have been received at this Office. The
Era is an enthusiastic third term organ,
and vigorously advocates the nomina-
ton of General Grant. In an article
entitled Financial Contrast, " it says:
"While the Democrats and their In
dependent Republican allies are getting
up material to beat Grant by referring
to his administration of the Govern
ment, we suggest that they examine the
financial record" To enable them to
do so without much trouble, it fur
nishes few figures. According to
these figures in 1868, when Grant be-
came President, the public debt
amounted to $2,6ll, 6S7, S5l. During
the eight years of Grants administra-
ton, these figures were reduced to
So, $50, 395, OCT. This shows that in the
eight years of Grants two terms the
public debt was reduced over four hum
dred and thirty one millions. It then
shows that in the first year of Hayes
term the debt was increased over one
hundred millions, and in July 1869 it
was s., 349, 767, 4S2, placing it at the
point where it was in 1872, seven years
before, an increase since Hayes was
counted in of about one hundred and
seventy millions of dollars.
This statement shows that while
many well-meaning people are laboring
under the delusion that the public debt
under the administration of Hayes and
that economical fnancier, Honest John
Sherman, is being rapidly reduced,
in, fact that it is being Increased at
the rate OF about $56, 600, 900 annually.
If this assertion was made by Demo-
cratic papers, very many would be dis
posed to doubt its correctness but as
it appears in one of the most stalwart
journals published, no good Republican
will dispute it. Why it is, in the face
Of such figures, that able newspapers in
Nevada, like the Reno journal and Eu-
reka Leader, will persist in asserting
that under the present Republican Adj
nlinistration, the public debt is being
steadily reduced, passeth all under
standing, unless they do it for the pur-
pose of deceivmg their readers.

THE DARK HORSE AT CHICAGO.

Eastern exchanges say that Senator
Window, of Minnesota, is to be the
dark horse of the Chicago Convention.
Conkling says he is his second choice
for the Presidency, but Conkling feels
so confident of Grants nomination that
he considers second choice of very lit
tie consequence. However, in the
event of Grants defeat, the Hero of
Canonchet will labor cheerfully for the
nomination Of Window. He is bitterly
opposed to Blaine, who at one time re-
fered to him in speech in the Senate
as 'the gentleman with the turkey
gobbler strut, " and Conkling never for
got the pointed allusion, or forgave the
man who made it. While Conkling,
Cameron, Logan and other powerful
machine manipulators scout the idea of
Grants defeat in the convention, there
are other far seeing politicians who be-
ileve that neither he nor Blaine will
be nominated at Chicago. If their sur
misses are correct then Window, who
has been in training as dark horse,
but not too dark to be seen, will be
entered for the race, and backed by
Conkling, may come out ahead.

The Republicans of the 3rd district
have nominated DR.. c. B. Darrell for
Congress. The nominee is popular
man with his party, and if the Demo-
cratic discussions in that district are
not healed, his election seems not at
all improbable. But the threatened
split in the Democratic party, it seems
likely, will be averted, as the Execu-
tive Committee of the district has
called a new nominating convention
to assemble at Morgan City on the 1st
of September. This was wise step,
and we are pleased to see that it was
taken with the approval Of General
Billiu, the nominee OF the first conven-
tion, as, we trust, he will be of that
which is to follow.

From the mass Of notes-and that
only-furnishcd us by the Secretary of
the Convention, VIC may be able next
week to publish the full proceedings of
that body. But it will require a
bushel of type and a scholar with vim
to master the job. For the present, we
present only an epitome, and quite
fortunate are VIC in that, since the
Convention adjourned only few
working hours before our usual press
hour on Thursday.
We may add, for the Information of

RAILROAD NOTES,

It is stated, in u late issue of the Lit.
tie Rock Democrat, that the gap in the
railroad from that city to Pine Bluff
will be completed by the 1st of No.
velnber. Ten miles of the road out
from Pine Bluff are already graded
and the rails laid.
We observe, with real pleasure, that
the Vidalia & Western railroad Gsnl-
pany are moving to extend their road
to Trinity, at which place large
meeting of influential citizens of
Natchez and Vidalia, and of Cata-
houla and Tensas parishes was held
on the Goth. The meeting was charac-
terized not simply by wordy enthusi-
asm, as so many such meetings are, but
by earnest work and subscriptions of
stock. Forty-five thousand dollars of
the seventy-five thousand in bonds
needed to complete road, have already
been subscribed tor, and the remainder,
it is said, will be speedily disposed of
and, in this event it is promised that
the road will be completed to Trinity

the building Of the road, correspond
ent Of the Natchez Democrat makes
the following rather startling state
ment, to which we direct the atten-
ton of our New Orleans cotempora-
ries:
1t is stated on very good authority
that the government engineers have
reported to the Secretary Of War that
it is useless to spend the appropriation
for the mouth of Red river, and that
it cannot be kept open, but advise that
it be allowed to fill up, and the appro-
priation be expended in different
way.
This would leave the fine country of
Little, Black. Ouachita and Tensas
without an outlet, and whittier must
their people look for line of commu-
nication and transportation
The President of the New Orleans
Pacific has advertised for bids for the
construction of that road from Shreve-
port to Lecompte, a distance of one
hundred miles. The prospect of an
early completion of the road, the
Standard says, is almost assured.

In recording this event, the writer's heart

lovely, youthful and promising, was in our
midst, tho pride of her family, tho f,vorite
of her friends.
"Death always takes II shining mark, -
and in a few short days, in spite of youth
and promise, in spite of care and the tender
ministrations of those who loved her, we
saw her die. And then, beautiful in death,
we saw her laid out Of our sight.
Tho bated breath with which people told
eaci. other of her death; the many mourn
tai remains, and the sad multitude that
followed her to her resting place, all tell
eloquently of the estimation in which she
was held. The writer knew her at home,
but especially in tho Sunday-school. Reg
ular in attendance and attentive to inst rue
tion, she believed the truth she heard to
be the truth of God, and to those who had
her confidence, she expressed Il detcrmina-

most in the grasp OF death, she spoke with
interest of the Sunday y-schoo1. But she is

We are due our venerable confrcre OF
the Vicksburg Commercial, an apology
for reproducing from his columns, last
week, an article without giving the
proper credit. 1t was our purpose,
when handing the extract to the COM
positor, not only to give the credit, but
to add some comments of our own !;
but this purpose was neglected, and
the forms were made up, the extract
appearing as original. We assure our
brother that we never steal from our
contemporaries, but if we should ever
have occasion so to do, the CONNER
cial in his charge will be most tempt
ing mine. That he considers this one
theft Il compliment, softens our afilic-
ton, but will not "aggravate" us to
commit second, unintentional, or
otherwise. In this instance, we are
still further consolcd in knowing that
the sentiments of our cotemporary
were ours, but much more fe!icitously
expressed than we were capable of
doing.
