REsToRATIoN OF PUBLIC LANDS.

WAsHINGTON, December IIth.-AH the
members of Congress to-day received a
pamphlet signed Henry Day, and dated
Fairview, N. J., the 18th instant, arguing
that General Garfield is ineligible for the
Presidency because he failed to take out nat
uralization papers after making trip to
Europe The writer holds that any person
who goes out OF the country must be natural
lied to regain citizenship. This astonishing
document, by reason of its intense gravity
and apparent sincerity of conviction, creates
some amusement. Scores of similar mono
maniacal productions are, however, received
by Congressman each session.

years Of age, the son Of VIM. Masterson

He was seen to be in distress and incf-

that tho Police Jury will lot ont the

A PRESS ASSOCIATION.

At the request of the CAPITOLIAN
that we as a pioneer in the movement
for the organization of u press associ-
alton name u place of meeting, we
suggest that editors and publishers
interested in the movement meet in
Monroe, on the Ouachita river, on
Wednesday the sth of September.
This point may be easily reached, we
think, by the greatest number of the
brethren. We decidedly prefer this
point to New Orleans, and think rca-
sons in its favor preponderatc. Next
to Monroe we would favor Shreve-
port. There arc many country cdi.
tors who can't go to New Orleans, but
they can easily get to either Of these
points. Would the Bulletin and Tel
esraph be glad to see us?-Claiborne
Guardian.
In reply to the above suggestion,
We would express Our entire willing

triot- Democrat aud Southern Watch

Sugar Plantsr; and last, but
not least, t1i6 N. O. Democrat, have
asscnted to tho proposition to assem-
bic in this city on the first Monday in
October. We could not therefore yield
tho point to the Guardian for fear
by SO doing, our confrcrcs might con
struc our action as Indicating q rcluc-
tance on the part Of our citizens and
the CApIToLlAN to welcome them in
tho Capital City.
Such is not the case, as many Of our
citizens have expressed their great de-
sire to extend their welcome to the
representatives of the State Press,
should they sec fit to honor the Capt.
tai City by their presence on so COM
mendable an errand.
In order to settle the difference, we
respectfully suggest that each paper
favoring the movement, express It's
preference, agreeing at the same time
to abide by tho will Of the majority.
We therefore place at tho head of our
columns, our ticket "For the Press

FOUND DRowNED.-Last Tuesday a
colorcd child named Isaac Taylor, aged
about two years, was found in the mule
pond near Mr.. NJ. N. Tauzcn's place, on
Cane river, about three miles above this
city, in drowning condition. A little
girl gave the alarm, but when the child
was taken out of the water, 1t brcathcd
its last. About his mouth was closely
tied cloth or handkerchief, dollbly
knottcd at tho back of his head. Just
previous to the finding of the body, Mr..
Il. 4. Hosner passed the spot, but failed
to notice anything unusual. And on his
return he was hailed by the girl in qucs-
tion and informed that the child was in
the pond. A Coroncr's jury was duly
empancllcd under tho supervision of
Justice Levy, who thoroughly inycsti-
gated the case. A complete cxamina-
ton of the circumference. Of the pond
failed to discover any tracks leading
into the water save those of the child
The parents of tho little boy were at
work in the field and the child was on
its way to its grandmothcrs. The ques-
ton naturally arises, was it thrown into
the pond, or accidentally foil into it !!
The Coroncr's jury returned Il verdict of
accidental drowning" although the
circumstances surrounding the case pre-
sent a very suspicious aspcct.-Natchi-

The great difference between Gen.
Hancock and Gen. Garfield is this
that Hancock, like a true soldier,
fought us hard when fighting was
lawful and in order, but ceased fight
ing when the war was over, while
Garfield did but little fighting during
the war, and only fought us very
hard when the war was over.
