Mr.. Thos. Hickman is now engaged
taking the census. We are told that
be finds the generally accepted idea
as to the population Of given districts
in the parish incorrect. Notably, in
one instance, district in the second
ward. generally supposed to have .
population Of about four hundred.
has been found to contain something
near seven hundred. Il Is estimated
the entire population Of Grant parish
is about nine thousand. It is very
important that the census should be
thorough. and our people should do
all they can to assist by giving such
information as they possess promptly
and cheerfnlly..

Our Washington Letter.

WASP rNoroN, d. c.. June 90, 1880.
For the next thirty days it is very
doubtful il most Congressman will be
in Washington or in the West. Chi
cago is taking away Republicans by
the dozen now. many Of them having
decided within a few days to go. who
last week had no intention Of going.
All late advices have been to the ef-
feet that there would be great
struggle in the convention, and the
politicians are anxious to be present.
They will come back on or about the
9Th Of June, some in JOY. some in
grief. and all agreeing to support the
ticket II the session should last 60
long, this will be repeated from the
18th to the 25th of jane, in connec'
ton with the Democratic convention
But the general opinion seems to b.
now that adjournment will be reached
about June 10th, it being apparent
that all the appropriation bills and
all the other absolutely necessar.
measures can be forced through b.
that time. It is now evident tina
neither the bill transferring the In
dian Bureau TO the War Department
nor that granting lands to Indians j
severalty, can pass during this SCI
sion. The agreement of Secretar
Schurz with the Utes will be al
proved. with notifications. and wi
prevent for time any serious COT
flict With those Indians.

We learn from the Picayune that
specimen packages of the silver-bear-
ing earth, found in the Sicily Island
Hills, near the Ouachita, have been
sent to that city for analysis. The
silver has been found in iron pyrites,
a sulphuret Of iron; q small quantity
assayed by Mr.. John Henry yielded
the precious metal at the rate OF for
ty ounces per ton, but other speci'
mems were not SO rich. It is, there

post can Be worked to advantage
In this connection il may be stated
that rich lead deposits have beer

Major Hearsey. editor of the New
Orleans States. upon tbs authority Of
Capts. Brooks and Wilson. charges
Mr.. Cosgrove of Natchitoches with
saying. in the presence Of those gen.
tlemen, in reply to the inquiry why
Capt. Francis. the Democratic claim
ant from Plaquemine, had not been
seated, that it was because of COM
binations entered into by himself and
associates, with I. T. Allan and 9TH
er Republican members" To this
charge Mr.. Cosgrove has replied by
giving it the lie. Mr.. Cosgrove is at
present in New Orleans, very proba-
bly, with the view OF having the mat
ter cleared up. and some even hint at
a hostile meeting. In the meanwhile
the Democracy of the State wait to
know the sequel, as somewhat effect
ing their own honor and rights.

There seems to be "blood in the
moon" for the negroes in this section
lately, and they are apparently en-
gagged in war TO exterminate their
own species. On Mr.. @. A. Persons
Place, in Nactcitoches parish, up Cane
river about two miles from Colfax. one
day last week, several negroes got
into . fight. in which Joe Joiner
killed Martin Jones BY breaking his
neck with pillow beam, which jos
used as . club. Martin Jones, the
negro killed, is said to have been
bad man in every way. He was one
of the ringleaders among the negroes
in the "Coliax riot" Joe Joiner's
wife severely wounded Martins boy
by striking him with rake while
the fight was in progress.
Another fatal ARRAY also occurred
last week between negroes living on
Mr.. Andrew Cruikshank's place, in
ward two of Grant parish. On the
night of May aQth. Nose Shelton and
Alfred Harrison went to the house Of
Friday Dunbar and raised . row.
when Dunbar ordered them of. In
stead of leaving they showed fight,
and Dunbar took down his gun, when
Shelton and Harrison closed 10 upon
him. In the scuhle Shelton was shot
in the thigh. Harrison got bold o.
the gun and used it as club, break
ing Dunbar's leg below the knee. and
otherwise severely beating him. 4
few days afterward shelton died will
lockjaw brought on by the gunsho
wound in his thigh. Harrison Is i

tify to his worth and ability by offer
ing him wider field of usefulness
