OUR NEW GOVERNOR,

Hon. Samuel Douglass McEnery, who
succeeded to the gubernational chair of
this State upon the death of Governor
Wilt, was born in the town of Monroe,
Ouachita parish, La, on the 26th Of May,
1887, and is therefore A years and five
months old. His education was begun
at Spring Hill College, Monroe, and i'll
1852 he entered the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, where he re-
NAMED three years. Resigning from
this institution in 1855, he entered the
University of Virginia and pursued his
studies three years longer, after which
he attended the National Law School at
Poughkeepsie, Now York: graduating in
1859. He then located i'll Maysville,
Missouri, and began the practice Of his
profession as All attorney at law, but
finding the climate too severe for his
health returned to Louisiana at the end
Of a year's rosidanea in Missouri and
opened law office in his native town,
where he has since resided and practiced,
with the exception Of the period spent
in the Confederate service during the
war.
Enlisting in 1861, he soon rose to the
rank of Lieutenant in the Pelican Grays,
o company raised III Ouachita and at
tached to the Second Louisiana Infantry,
commanded by Col. WIN. Levy, Of Nat
chitoches, now an Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of the State. After
a years service he was made Lieuten-
ant in the regular Confederate army aud
placed in charge of recruiting station
ut Trenton, La. ........
At the close Of tho war he resumed the
practice Of his profession, first in part
nership with his brother, Hon. John
McEnery, and afterwards with Col. r.
Richardson, attaining considerable repu-
tation as an energetic and able lawyer.
He was elected Lieutenant Governor OH
the Democratic ticket with Governor
Wilt in 1879 and inaugurated in the
spring Of 1880, having never before held
a public Office, though solicited by his
fellow citizens to do SO upon several
occasions.
Governor McEnery is known as a man
Of great firmness and strong will, quail
ties.which if united to sound Judgment,
are much to be desired in tho occupant
of the important executive position to
which he has been called. Though yet
i'll it's infancy, his administration has al
ready begun to receive the impress Of his
determined character, and if the estimate
his friends place upon him is correct, he
is not likely to modify the policy he has
mapped ont for himself, no matter what
others may think Of it's effect upon the
party which placed him in office.
While not in political sympathy with
the new Governor, we are free to con-
graduate him upon his Inauguration and
to hope that his course will be such Us to
reflect honor upon himself and inure to
the benefit Of the people Of the State.

we arc organized for the business on bust
ness principles. Our agents in the burned
region arc intelligent, reliable men, and
personally acquainted among the sufferers.
The system adopted is efficient and econom-
zeal, and the object is to give these people a
start before our cold winter comes down,
and enable them as soon as possible to be-
gin taking care Of themselves.
We have three trains and at least one boat
carrying our relief stores daily into the
burned district.
Our books are kept on double entry sys-
tenn, and we shall have the pleasure Of
sending all donors our balance sheets ex-
hihiting the details of our stewardship.
Tho response from the South has been full
Of sympathy and encouragement.
Sincerely, NJ. A. ALLARDT, Sec'y,
BY E. H. BANCROFT, Asst. Sec'y.
We reiterate the hope that contribu-
ton moro worthy the people of our sec
ton Ill its amount will be sent to the

trusted to MS for this purpose, and will
