SHREVEPORT, IA, October ,, lSS0.
A. sm about to add a paragraph and
perhaps more 70 the condition of the roads
between Shreveport and Homer it occurs to
me that since the year 1877, which gave the
GUARDIAN birth. much space has been de-
voted cdltorially and otherwise To the topic
Of roads. Not slugle letter written by the
editor when away from home, except per.
haps when he wrote after sojourn of sew
eral days or weeks in one of the cities, but
that has been filled with ohiurgations of
road oversecrs hands OF communities. II
is true that in this state good roads are the
exception. The public highways are so
outrageonsly bad that any individual who
cares at all for his personal comfort cannot
avoid the nttcrance of malrtlictions upon
those having them in charge. aud if the
party with whose carcass pitch and toss is
played be a journalist, no matter how in
significant, that portion of the world to
whom he speaks through his columns will
observe that lie rails in good set terms
against the bone brrakiug flesh -bruislug
enormities known as public roads.
Although the writer has had a fair share
of experience with bad roads, he found
before the journey from Homer to Shrcvc-
port had fairly begun that large additions
were to be made To his store Of knowledge
in this branch Of human experience. Ii is
useless to attempt anything like detailed
circumstantial statement Of facts. Suffice
to say that a gradually descending scale,
beginning with bad aud ending in worst.
expresses the state of the road. Bad,
worse, worst, for there is in fact nothing
good anywhere along the line. After lcav-
ing the covered way in Red River swamp.
we drove for long way through the woods
turning to every point Of the compass.
The general direction Of our route was of
course to the west, but we drove to tie
south, then east, thence south, now west,
next north, then east, and so continually
varying to avoid boys that would have
swallowed our vehicle, driver and team.
We frequently met teams that were COW
cred with mud over their backs and even
to their ears. We were shown An innocent
looking mud hole in which stage borse
was drowned ten days ago. All this TO
persons not familiar with that fertile strip
Of country known as Red River swamp
sounds like exaggeration. Yet we are told
by those who know that the swamp is now
tolerably fair. Watkins shed has been
completed for Ave miles. Under it the
roadbed is dry and even dirty in places,
but the two miles between the termination
Of the shed AID the beginning Of the sandy

- csrtaIs to Be Carries BY 0eHocrafs.
New York sun, sept. 70. !


Gov. James Z. English, who WAS at the
Windsor Hotel last evening, said: There
10 not the least doubt in my mind that
Connecticut 10 SURE for Hancock and Eng
lish. Connecticut 10 q Democratic State.
Gov. Andrews WAS elected two years ago
by the Greenbsck element. re merely
accepted the nomination because he
thought It foregone conclusion that the
ticket would be defeated. This element
now is fused solidly with the Democratic
party; it has returned to it's old allegiance,
and 80 makes il certain beyond doubt
that the State will go Democratic. We are
receiving most encouraging news from all
parts Of the State, to the effect that votes
are going to be cast for Hancock by an
element in the Republican party which has
grown utterly tired of and is stated with
the sectional cry. Many who do not wish
TO identify themselves with the Democratic
party, aud yet cannot accept Mr.. Gartields
record will remain away from the polls.
There is one thing would like to speak
of, and that ia the Republican claim to the
prosecution of the war. They could not
have carried it on without Democratic aid.
For myself, took most active part in it;
the emancipation bill could not have
passed had not sixteen Democrats, myself
among them, determined it was best for
the country that the bill should be put
through; and so it was carried by ma
jority Of three"
How is the result Of the Maine regarded
in Connecticut
Not as merely local victory. The con-
test in November will be very close, and
the Democracy stand all excellent chance
20 carry the State. There is no doubt the
result has staggered the Republicans they
pretend to regard it as of no national I'M.
portance, but il seems to me a subterfuge.
Indiana is certain to 90 for Hancock, and
when il does. the result will react upon
Maine, 80 that. "a I think. the latter State
can be set down a. very sure for the Demo
cratic party in November

William Fulford, doubtless well know II
to the people hereabouts, is incarcerated
in the Vernon Jail under al affidavitsworp
ont by brother-in-law of his, charging
Fulford with burning the Court house in
Vernon two years ago. 1t is also said that
circumstantisl evidence connecting him
with the burning of our Court house last
winter, is also on tapis. From what we
can learn the evidence against him in re-
gard to burning the Vernon Court house
is strong and amply sufficient to convict.
1t seems that the main, if not the only
witnesses against him, are very near rel

that merchants arc gloomy. II the fall is
