The smallest business that ever an
ex-President of the United States in
obliged in, has been enacted lately 10y
Gen. Grant. Lowering himself down
to the level Of a common pot house Draw
ling politician he has issued an order
to the "Boys in Blue" to vote for
Garfield and Arthur.

Calcasieu Parish.

We clip the following interesting par
agraphs from the Lake Charles Echo OF
last Saturday:
IMPRovEMENTs.-W is progressing
very fast on the new Catholic and Bap-
fist churches. The frame work of both
is up and nearly ready for covering in.
SToCK.-Ths has been a very fayora-
BILE season for cattle and horses. The
warm mild winter brought them out in
the spring in good condition, and the
summer has kept them i'll good order for
market.
LrMBERING.-The saw-mills are all at
work saving lumber to supply the in
creased demand for that article for
building and other purposes. Logs are
plentiful, and no complaints OF danger
of scarcity. This promises to be very
active season for the lumber interests
of Lake Charles.
OUR RA1LRoAD.-The gap east of the
Mermentau is reduced to about eight
and half miles. She tracklaying force
is very much reduced and more hands
are wanted. The company has con-
structed a switch from the main track
into Norris saw-mill. The different
mills here are shipping from six to ten
arloads of lumber, weekly. The mail
train arrives and departs regularly on
time.
AssoC1AT1oN.-The German citizens
of this town and vicinity have an organ
ization called the German Benevolent
Association. the objects of which are to
take care of their sick, and minister to
the wants of the needy members of the
order, They are in fourishing condi-
ton and have bought lot on Ryan
street, just above the Post Office, on
which they are building a very neat
little house, as place for their meet
ings. None but Germans are admitted
to the society.

A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.-On Satur
urday last, an affidavit was sworn out
before Justice Levy, charging one John
Raphiel, pastor of the first COlored
Baptist Church of this parish, with per-
petrating an outrage upon one of the
members of his flock, and also with
compromising the crime by the improper
use of drugs upon his victim. Two
warrants were issued for his arrest and
placed in the hands of Constable King,
who at once executed them. The priso4
ner was at once lodged in Jail until
Monday morning, when he had a pre-
liminary examination before Judge
Pierson. The courthouse was crowded
to almost sutfocation, a large majority
of whom were negro women. Although
the accused was proved morally guilty
beyond doubt, through some technically
of the law, the Judge was compelled to
discharge him. When the prisoner was
released, the vast crowd of negro
women, who had watched the whole
proceeding with the greatest excitement,
rushed forward and almost smothered
him with caresses, they hauled him out
in the streets, when the inspiring effect
of his presence upon his female admi-
rers, was 80 startling, that they danced
and shouted over his deliverance from
the clutches of the law, which they
Doubtless attributed to the direct infu-
ence of the Lord. To sum up the dis
graceful scene, there stood ii minister of
the gospel, guilty of the most outra-
geous crimes known by the law, who
having escaped punish ment by merely
legal technicality. is lionized, yea,
worshippel, by the female portion of
the colored church. They danced
around him like lunatics or demons

Respecting Registration.
IN. O. Democrat.

AS there seems to have been some
doubt in the country respecting regis
tration, many persons supposng that a
new registration was necessary III every
parish, the Secretary has sent out the
following circular to the various asses
sors, which will set this matter at rest ::
NEW ORLEANS, August 10, 1880.
Sir-Your attention is called to section 3S of
an act of the General Assembly of this State,
approved April 10. 1885, under the provisions OF
Which it is made your duty, as soon as you can
obtain the books and blanks provided for in said
act from the clerk OF the court OF your parish,
to proceed to revise the registration books of
your parish, by crasins the names of those who
have died, left the parish, or from any cause
become ineligible as elector, and to enroll the
names OF those who have become entitled to
registration. The law does not require a new
registration.
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
WILL A. STRONG,
Secretary of State.

The culture of rice in the western
portion of this parish, and in Caicasieu,
is assuming vast proportions, compared
with what it was two or three years ago.
The steam rice mill Of Messrs. Ryan d
Geary, at Lake Charles, has contributed
no little to this end. The numerous
and large marshes in the region named
are fit for rice, and nothing else; but
the only capital required is ditching
and fencing. The yield, we believe, is
about from ten to fifteen barrels (of
three bushels) to the acre, and the price
for rice in the hull from four to four
and half dollars per barrel-forty to
SIXTY fire dollars per acre. No other
business will repay the labor OF the
moor man so WELL

THE RAILRoAD.-Ourpe people are spec
ulating a good deal about the effect the
railroad will have upon Opelousas and
the neighboring country. They are
pretty we'll divided in their views upon
tie matter. Some think it will help
The town, and others think it will not;
and some yet even go further than this,
and assert that it will be the means OF
taking the business almost entirely away
..y... y ,,..ousas anu bankrupt the place.
We differ entirely with this latter class
OF people. The railroad cannot possibly
hurt the town, if its inhabitants will
but use the proper activity, diligence
aud energy to meet the requirements OF
the new condition of things that awaits
them. No town has ever been benefited
by a railroad, whose inhabitants re-
manned passively Indifferent to the i'm
portance of making some strong effort
in behalf of the town itself. Let the
people unite together and contrive some
means of identifying the town aud
giving it a city-like appearance. Strang-
ers from distance have perfect horror
for dilapidated looking towns, and come
to the very natural conclusion that such
places are not fit to settle in, and con-
sequently move off in search of other
country localities possessing more
inviting and attractive appearance. The
stranger has no special objection to
tarry with you for while and help to
build up, improve, and expand your
business, but he will certainly not risk
the experiment unless he has ocular
demonstration that you have the proper
get up and get" about you. This is
about the sum and substance Of the
whole matter; and the sooner you act
upon the hints and suggestions above
given, the better it will be for yourself
and town, and the sooner, also, will you
realize the fact that the road will ma
terially assist. and not ipjure, the town

afternoon of this week, at Mrs. j. j..

sixteen OF seventeen years old, near by,
who ordered him to stop the swapping /;
whereupon he said that he would snap
at her, and using the other barrel, which
was charged with buckshot, he shot
eight of them through her body, from
which she died soon after. He has been
arrested. All the parties were colored.
