Democratic Opposition to Limited
Suffrage.
[Natchitochcs Ninlicator. ]

[Natchitochcs Ninhicator.
Tho New Orleans Democrat Of gath ult.
contains II letter advising an alliance be
tween the Southern white man and the
Nortlcrn Republicans, on the basis of
limited suffrage, internal improvements,
stable currency, protection to home in
tussrics and good government. The let
srr is written by IL Republican and is Il
serious reflection from that standpoint.
We are with this Republican on the
questions of internal improvements. tar
in, stable currency and loo; government,
hut we are not inclined to the limitation
of suffrage. The Democrat expresses our
reasons quite cogcntly in an article re-
ttr,iug I" this letter. 1t says:
While the Southern people opposed,
strrnunuSly, the policy of Immediately
placing the ballot in the hands of the
late slaves, they made the best of the
situation. adjusted themselves to the
new order OF things, and bent all their
energies to educating and elcvating the
Negro to a proper understanding and
appreciation of the new and great re-
sron~ibilities that had been thrust upon,
him tx his SO called friends.
The result is patent to the world: the
Negro is marvclonsly prosperous, is in
crraslng rapidly in numbers, is contentrd
wi; Ii his situation, is being rapidly ele-
waited in the moral and social scale, and
the tremendous crops raised mostly by
his toll tell in no uncertain language of
the extraordinary facility with which
the white and black races in the South
have managed to adjust their differences
and tn live in peace and concord.
Under such condition of affairs the
South will be excused from seriously Ell
trr,aining Il proposition which puts to
blush the famous White Leagues, against
which tire Radicals have SO furiously
rallied. and which emhodies the most
gigantic scheme of hulldozing on record.

Spring Mattresses at so Per
Cent. Reduction.


YUyIIE best, healtbiest and most comforta-
i BILE thing for the human body to rest
upon is u SPRING MATTRESS. 1t is SUI
perior to all new inventions:f looks better,
wears better and is less trouble than any
other; the bed is always made" giving
the housekeeper no work except the spread-
ing of the cover.
These mattresses have not been more gen
orally used heretofore because Of their high
price, which was due to the fact that special
measurement was required for each bed,
and they could not be made and placed on
the market in large quantities.
To overcome this impeachment tho under
signed has established Spring Mattress
Factory at DonaldsonviIle, is canvassing
for orders and taking measurements, and
will furnish mattresses formerly costing
$50 to $50 at n reduction of over fifty per
ccnt.-say from GIG to $50. according to
size Of mattress and quality of ticking, No
payment required until mattress is del1v-
cred and full satisfaction given.
Orders by mail promptly attended to. In
measuring betstcad give precise length and
wi,ltl, inside across the centre. Necessary
deductions to allow room for bed-clothiDg
will be made ut the factory.
