After the Republican county convention
had adjourned come of the delegates hustled
together and put up new comfy central
committee, and increased the number. Dick
Evans was reduced to the ranks and D. NJ.
Frost put in as chairman. Two members
OF the original Eve were left out. Some peo-
pie think they can accomplish nothing un-
LEES they proceed in an outrageous manner.
No one questions the Republication Of the
two Republicans left of the committee,
but everybody knows tha, they cannot be
made to serve master. OF all unkind acts
this action is the severest thrust, and it cuts
deeper than failing to get the nominations.
1t is adding insult to injury. 1t was some.
thing the convention or adjourned conven.
ton had no right to do. But there is here
after; and "don't you forget It,"

Frame buildings in this city frequently
are put on the move, and two or three large
frame houses have an interesting history,
having been removed half dozen times
from As many different places in the western
part of the State. 1t is not an unusual sight
in Dodge to see hou.e on wheels, being
shifted to another site. Farmer Wilkin,
last week moved his house in town to his
farm six miles vest. The family occupied
the house, which is one-story frame 14x2S
feet, while 1t was being removed; and on
the route Mrs. Wilkins prepared dinner Is
usual. There vas not break or jar in the
house.

A FEW FACTS.

A Boston paper thus groups to-
gether some statistics of the kind
which almost everybody might
know, if any one took time to think
of them:
The entire population Of the
United States could stapd in Bos-
ton.
The entire population of the world
now estimated at LAO, 00e, 900,
could stand on the island OF Mar
tha's Vineyard.
The State of Massachusetts would
in this way accommodate seventy
times the population of the world.
The entire population of the world
placed side by side, allowing two.
feet to each person, would encircle
the earth twenty times.
The States of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, and Vermont, taken together,
are as large as England.
Kansas is Us large as England
and Scotland together.
Any one of the States of Georgia,
Illinois, lowe, and North Carolina,
is as large as England.
Ireland is about the size of
Maine.
France is more than twice as
large as England, Wales and Scot
land, together.
Texas is thirty-fYe times as large
as Massachusetts; or as large as
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Ohio, and Indiana combined.
The entire population of the
United States could be provided for
in Texas, allowing each man. woman
and child four acres of land.
The entire population Of the
world could be provided for in the
United States, allowing each person
one and half acres of land.

WAIT A LITTLE LONGER,
flake Charles Eeho.1

Some half a dozen newspapers
are clamoring for new State con-
stitution, and for an extra session
of the Legislature. One would sup
pose they consider a biennial con-
stitutional convention, and a semi
annual session of tss general assem-
bly,, essential to the prosperity of
Louisiana. Any defects in our
present constitution, of sufficient
importance to require legislation.
can be remedied by constitutional
amendments; and as the present
General Assembly was incompetent
to accomplish necessary legislation
in three months at the lest session,
we fail to see any particularly bril-
liant prospects of its makinga bet
ter record in the twenty days to
which an extra session is limited.
The constitution, very wisely pro-
yides for regular sessions of the gen.
eral assembly every A~o years. What
Louisiana needs is less legislation
and better Legislators. We have q
good constitution and an efficient
governor. Let us give them a fair
trial.

A HORRIBLE CRIME,
SPEEDY RErRIBUTIoN FOR ONE OF TIE
MERCHANTS.

A dispatch from Tupels. Miss,
a station or the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, dated Dec. 2lst, gives the
following account of a horrible
crime committed in the northern
portion of Monroe county, Miss,
last Saturday night:
Mr.. Brown BEDDING, whose fami-
ly consisted of his wife and daugh-
ter. two years old. on Saturday
night, permitted two men, giving
the names of Miller, to stay all
night Mt his house. They occupied
bed 10 the room with the family,
it being the only one in which there
was fire place.
About II o'clock, flames from the
little cottage attracted the neigh
bors, who found the house SO far
consumed that nothing could be
done to save it.
1t was thought the family had
absented themselves for the night,
but the charred remains of the trio
were found in the debris.
Investigation developed the above
facts and search was at once made
for the two men.
It was found they had separated,
one going towards Aberdeen, the
other in the direction of Tupelo.
The posse that went toward
Aberdeen, were successful in finding
their man hiding in field, six
miles from that place.
He was returned to the scene,
where he told the following story:
"We wanted money. We were
permitted to remain over night, and
we laid awake after retiring until
the heavy breathing of the family
satisfied us of their slumbers, when
we arose. chloroformed them, riHei
the house of valuables consisting of
s27, a watch, a suit of clothes and
a pair of boots. Then we scatter
ed cotton saturated with coal oil,
over the floor and on the bed, set
fire to it and left"
The crowd, composed of twen-
ty-five resolute men. determined
that the villain. should be pun
ishea with his own weapon.
They pinioned him, arranged pine
splinters around him and set them
on fire.
Vigilant search is being made for
the other man, who will doubtless
share the same fate if caught,

~Col. VIM. Preston Johnston,
President Of the State University
and Agricultural and Mechanical
College. in his report to the Board
of Supervisors. recommends "that
the Legislature provide from the
common school fund or some other
acdilable source Of reuenue for the
maintenance of a number Of young
men, nominated from the senatorial
districts"
The words which we have itali-
cized in the above suggest to us the
fact that there is an available source
which the State might advan-
tageously utilize for the purpose
suggested by President Johnston.
We refer to tie cotton looms in the
Pen;tentiary. Instead of allowing
this valuable machinery to stand
idle, the State might be realizing a
considerable revenue therefrom, by
putting the convicts at work manu-
featuring goods which our people
are now compelled to purchase at
distance. And we know of no bet
ter disposition to be made Of this
revenue than to devote it to the
cause of education. As the people
become more enlightened and in
telligent, the number of criminals
will proportionately decrease. Ig-
norance is productive source OF
crime, while education tends to
greatly diminish unlawful acts.
The Penitentiary, while being a
place of punishment for criminals,
would then become also a valuable
adjunct ip the suppression OF those
causes which render its present
necessary.
