The editor of the Monroe Bel
letin, in a spasmodic twitch OF
nonsensical twaddle on the sub
ject Of "fattery," endeavors to
make us believe that he had a
conversation. "once with Young
lady," and that she said that
'.fattery was the worst kind OF
lying" When that conversation
took place is what the Bulletin
man fails to disclose. We sup
pose that young lady has, by
this time, become the matron Of
a happy household, long since
having forgotten that such o man
as Atkins ever lived. and espe-
cially that she ever lectnred him
on the folly, and meanness, and
deprayity of indulging in fattery.
AT any rate, Atkins failed to
learn q lesson, or at least he
fails to heed q lesson, Taught him
by the young lady. He has been
.'fattering" "Col. Bob in the
language Of the Farmerville Ga
zette-for some time, with she
absurd hope that he ~ "Col.
Boz" will be the next Con-
gresham from this District. Now
that's what the young lady
might call the s'worst kind of
lying" This is the truth, Mr..
Bulletin, and we expect to hear
of.your being considerably "agi-
tated." Now let as have the pith
Of some other conversation that
you possibly once had with .
young lady. There is some
thing exhilarating IN reading
such controversies.

Another Wilfull Ignoramus.
Bastrop, La, June 9TH, 1880

Bastrop, La, June 9TH, 1880.
Editor Morehouse Clarion:
1t has been asserted that Gen.
King is not even citizen of this
State. and is not in any way identi-
fed with our interests. If you can
tell the people anything of his past
political history I think that you
will oblige many other voters be-
sides myself. 1t is very unusual for
genuine merit to become blatant in
it's own praise, and this way of
flooding the country with both
written and printed matter from
Gen. King, certainly looks a little
suspicious. / do not believe that
the people are willing to support a
carpet-bagger for an office of such
grave trust when there are so many
native Louisianians perfectly COM
petent to represent them in the
national Legislative halls. AS his
name is flying from your masthead,
hope you will give whatever in
formation you can ON this question
through the columns of your paper.
Yours Respectfully, S.
A man that is so wilfully and
inexcusably ignorant of facts as
to consider the "assertions'' of
which 49, speaks, certainly does
not deserve an answer to any
question. If IS" would spend a
few hours in unprejudiced inves-
tigation, the information which
he pretendedly Graves would be
obtained, and he would then
have too much respect for Gen.
King to even intimate that he is
a "carpet-bagger." We have
heard of several sorehead, des.
perate Richardson men, who
pretend to believe, and who try
to make the people believe that
Gen. King has no interest in our
State. Such an effort upon the
part of "Col. Bob's" friends show
to what desperation they are
driven. They have hard hand
to play, and they know it. If We
thought "S." were as ignorant OF
Gen. Kings Identification with
the interests of Louisiana as he
pretends to be, we would advise
him to consult the tax record OF
Concordia parish; but IS" has
gone blind after the "hero of the
l7th Louisiana" and it is folly
to talk to him. If he votes for
Col. Bob, however, be will lose
his vote-whichsis not worth
| much.

DEAR SIR:-The Southern STANDARD
Press. which you put up for me, has
given perfect satisfaction. During the
months of December and January last I
packed 259 bales cotton-averaging in
weight 500 pounds. I used an ordinary
SIG cotton rope which, at the close Of
the season, was sufficiently strong to be
used for pillow lines. 1t possesses many
advantages over any other press ofwhieh
l have any knowledge. Its cheapness
and durability should recommend It to
every one. | regard the Southern
Standard cheaper at 500 than the
Arooks OF Reynolds Or any press of like
make at $50. Yours truly,

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

One of the fercest political
conclaves that we have any
knowledge of in the history Of
this Republic met on the I'd inst.
in the city of Chicago, and adj
journed last Tuesday, The fierce
ness Of the fight was intensely
augmented on account of the Vi
tai principles OF liberty which
were SO deeply and dangerously
involved. Indeed, it was strug-
gle-a colossal struggle-be-
tween horde of ambitious men
who desire to establish despot-
ism in this country, and a gang
of politicians who are too shrewd
not to know that such a govern
ment would immeasurably re-
duce the fat pap from which
they have been so long and so
gluttonously sucking. The two
elements composing the Chicago
Convention antagonized each
other, not from any principle OF
right or true patriotism, but on
account of selfish, narrow-con-
tracted policy. We do not be-
lieve that four-ffths of the dele
gates to that Convention ever
conceived the idea of pure pa
triotic motives in the boisterous
proceedings which they, to the
delight OF the whole county, ter
minated so surprisingly last
Tuesday.
We had hoped and believed
that Gen. Grant would be the
choice Of the Republicans at
Chicago. That desire was based
upon the confidence we have IL
the great masses of American
people to frown upon and crush
at the polls the very first steF
taken in the direction Of imperi
alism. We thought Grant woulo
be the least formidable oppo
nent the Democracy would have
to contend with. For that rea'
son we desired his nomination
But we were disappointed. Al
is often the case clark horse
has been wrung in, and the nom
inee Of the Cincinnati Conven'
ton must contend at the polls
next November with the dash
ing, brilliant Garfield, of Ohio
He is a man of extraordinary
ability. He is statesman ane
| a politician. He is one OF the
best organizers on the continent
and he has not a superior in the
art of stragetic political move
ments. We say Garfield is {
man whom the Democratic part,
should dread. Perhaps no othe'
man could have been selected
by the Chicago Convention wht
! will command a more solid vot'
than Garfield. It is useless tt
say that the Democracy shoult
| be alive to the Importance o
wise and speedy concentration Q
all of their forces. Without
stupendous effort upon the par
of the Democratic party, Ger
James A. Garfield will be tn
successor of the present occu
pant of the seat first held by tn
immortal Washington.
The Chicago Convention has
to our surprise, msde an excel
lent choice. We think it was Al
accidental least a 'wind-fall
to Garfield.

of New York, was nominated 70
