THE Democratic organ says that GRANTS
nomination will depend on the votes of GER
tain States, which it specifies only one of
which (PennsylvaniA) gave a Republican
majority in 1876, the remaining States CIV
ing Democratic majority of 53O,467, In
1872, with GRANT as the candidate, the Re-
publicans carried these same States by 2l0,-
467 popular majority. II any inference is
TO be drawn from the above figures, it is
that the Republicans, by allowing them
selves to be bulldozed by the howl Of third
term emanating from Democrats and weak
kneed Republicans, have lost in four years
nearly million votes in those specified
States.

A NEGRO rough who entered the hall in
which the Republican convention in Nor
folk was recently held, not being a delegate,
was told to "gitw This he would not do,
and therefore he was given the grand

the perpetrator, unwilling or otherwise,
being pitched headlong down the stairs

ball into the street. After the bounce y

MurderOus Incemdiaries.

There are a set of cowardy cut
throats some eight or ten miles south
east of Colfax, on Bayou Philip or
Bayou Darro, who richly deserves
term in the penitentiary or justice at
the end of limb. Last Thursday
night, about ten o'clock, they set FIRE
to store owned by two colored men,
Israel Smith and Hanson Brisco, and
burned it to the ground. The store
had goods in it amounting to nearly
$500, and the building was worth
about 500 more. While the store
was in flames several volleys were
fired into it. No one was in it at the
tine, the occupants being at house
several hundred yards away, and too
frightened to venture near. This
party is evidently the same set who
killed young negro man in the same
store early In the fall, by shooting
through the walls. Measures should
be taken to break up this nest of out
laws, and we hope to see active oper-
atoms to do so commenced at once.
These negroes are entitled to protec-
ton, and our community cannot pros
per with such set of cut-throats in
it. Israel Smith, one of the store
proprietors, says be has no clue as
to whether the rarty consisted OF
white or black men.
The animus of this act probably
was to strike blow ut the "seed cot
ton" traffic. But it is rather late in
the day for that; beside, it is poor
beginning to make on a couple of
timid negroes, who are only follow
ing the lead of dozen white men
who have done the same business all
the past fall.

A good point in etiquette is that
one bow should include all the per-
sons in the room you are leaving.
Another is to enter at once into con-
versation when introduced. At table
you should thank the one who waits
on you. A note requires as prompt
an answer as question addressed to
you. Never rinse your mouth at the
table. and always lay your knife and
fork together, with the handles point
ing to the right, when over with your
meal Never do all the talking at
any time, nor be q mummy. Above
all, be Misunderstanding is more rid
iculous than forced or studied polite
ness. True gentility never gives
offense, and overlooks rudeness in
Others. To whistle. pat or sing. when
others are talking. speaks of i'll breed
ing. To do to others as you would
have them do to you is the sum total
of all etiquette.

We wish it were practical to apply
appropriate correction to the small,
unmanly tyranny of unfeeling exac-
ton and cruel words by which too
many husbands keep their wives in
never-ending torment. If man had
the brains he boasts, be would speak
ever kindly to the mother of his
household, if it were only for selfish
motives. Make your wife happy by
tender and affectionate treatment,
and you will make yorr home a par
adise more precious than gold and
costly mansions. -Ex.

last Monday morning about II clock,
from which it will be seen she had
been putting in her best ticks. Cap

Capts. George Hamilton and Tom
Dowty did the clerical work, assisted
by Private Hamer, he of the pale and
interesting features, who, blythe by,

The Bell went through to Coushatta,
returning to Colfax about 7 o'clock
