Judge w. II. Hough, whom McMil-
len defeated for the nomination. Re-
ferring to this, the Sentinel says
Dave young got pretty mad at his
"boss" last Saturday, because he would
not let Dave preside at the Court House
meeting. We think NIcMillen exhibit
ted some ingratitude in this matter
and IL lack of appreciation of Dawes
efforts tor him in Concortlia. Can it
be that the General is becoming
ashamed Of the men who manipulated
the Delta convention for him

We clip the following item from
the Morgan City Review
1t is told of a well known colored
preacher of Morgan City, that, while
marrying n couple lately he asked the
man, "Wilt thou tahe this woman to
be thy welded wife and vote for Hon.
Taylor Beattie for Congress ?'' The
man readily assented and tthe twain
were made one fesh.' And thus the
good work goes on.
The Speaker of the House of Re-
representatives. was recently returned
from his district in Ohio; but he fell
more than 1000 votes behind the weak
est of the candidates for State officers,
none of whom com nanled more than
rs per cent of the usual Republican
| vote in Ohio. If appearances are not
deceitful, KeifIer will never again &C.
cupy the the proud position of Speaker.
The Baton Rouge Capitolian has
this bit of interesting news concerning
the Republican candidate for Congress
in the 9th district:
In an interview between a Picayune
reporter and Mr.. Louis Tragger, which
took place in the Crescent City few
days ago, Mr.. TRACER makes statements
which will not tally with the informa-
ton we have received. Instead of a
"convict camp on Angola plantation,
he says there is n "coIlvict hospitap'.
Further, he states that he is opposed
to working convicts, having had success
in operating free paid labor. We learn
from the Penitentiary books that there
are SINTY-sEVEN cOnvicts on Angola
plantation, sent there under guards to
work. Many OF them are the very
best men from the Ponitcntiary, and
all of them arc sound working men.
A delegate to the Trager Convention
Angola plantation, which was erected,
not for hospital patients, but to securely
hold convicts when not engaged in
active labor in the fields. SO it will
seem that instead of Angola plantation
being IL summer resort where cOnvicts
are sent to breath the fresh country
air for their health, it contains II re-
gularly organized convict camp, where
such labor is protitably operated.
