GETTING FRIGHTESED.-Appssls come frsm
Topeka, for Gods sake, to stand by the ticket
and avoid the disaster of a Democratic victory.
1t is especially feared that the Legislature is in
danger As far as the State ticket is concerned,
below the head, there is no danger; but those
who have made up their minds that they will
not vote for st. John or endorse his platform,
cannot be coaxed to do it by any amount of pit
iful appeals. Their minds are made mp. If the
party is really in danger, let those who are anx-
ious to save it. haul st. John off the track That
will be the best way. Republicans who Object
ed to ST. John and prohibition platform, were
treated with contempt and Insult. They are
now in no humor to be coaxed.
If the Legislature is in danger, what is to be-
come of Plumbf He has endorsed St. John and
his prohibition platform, and has gone abreast
with the most extreme prohibitionists; and he
has been endorsed in large majority of the
Legislative Districts If a majority of the can
didates instructed for him are defeated, it will
leave him in bad plight There may be no
danger of this, hut il will sometimes pay n man
TO exercise little backbone, aud buck against
what he knows to be the most contemptibl- spe-
cies of shystering.

who is King Kalakaus. have a brother l-Atrhi-
Champion.
Yes, four of them. The oldest one now lives
in Crawford County, in this State. The Judge
is the third brother, named George. He always
went by the name of Shannon because he
was so wild for old Gov. Shannon, during the
campaign of 1872 when he defeated Tom Corwin.

r. We have been a faithful believer in Bob
Ingersoll, but we are becoming disgusted with
him. His attempt to throw dust into the eyes
of the people, by charginging that an attempt
was made on the part of the Government to bribe
the honest jury to convict the innocent and per-
scented Star Routers, is too thin for Ingersoll to
stoop to- He knows their acquittal was an out
rage, and probably knows that it was brought
about by the use of money stolen from the Gov
ernment. Robert, keep hammering away at old
Moses, but let this other job out.

As To COUNTY ATTORSEY.-A desperate fight
10 being made against Mr.. Heatley, and he is be-
tween two fires. As County Attorney, it is his
sworn duty to prosecute all cases under the hq-
nor law, as well as all violations Of other laws.
No matter who is County Attorney, he will have
to do this, or violate his OATH In all such cases,
when properly brought, as required by law, Mr..
Heatley has prosecuted to the best Of his ability.
For this, he has the enmity Of the persons whom
he prosecuted. But he has steadily refused to
make himself detective under the prohibitory
law, or to bring suits upon the random reports
or charges of this or that person, running mp
heavy bill of costs against the County, to graft
fy somebody's prejudice or spite. He has re-
quircd that all such eases shall be properly sub
mitted, aud the provisions of the law complied
with. For this, he has incurred the opposition
of the ultra prohibition people. If he had done
the bidding of all such people. he would con-
stantly have had citizens of the County in Court,
without anything tangible to work from, simply
upon random complaints, and would have had q
bill Of costs run mp against the County amount
Ing to not less than $40, 900. We think there are
enough reasonable mon in this County, between
the two extremes, to see that an officer is sus-
tained for doing his duty in prosecuting viola
tors of the law on the one hand, and for refusing
to encourage dissension and costs on the other.

THE 7. S. c. BALL.-The ball given at
Pienix Hall Wednesday night by the
Terpsichorean Social Club was an agree
able and satisfactory affair, as the enter
tainments Of this club always are. Not
withstanding the cold weather and the
busy season, the attendance was good,
and the occasion afforded ample en- joy
,ucnt to all present. In addition to the
local bellies, there were several charming
young ladies from ether places in the
merry throug-notsbiy the Misses Nc
Grath Of Baton Rouge, Miss Gau,let and
Miss White of New Orleals-and their
presence contributed in no small measure
10 the interest eviEcet1 Wy the yanng
gentlemen in tic pleasures Of the eve
ming. The light hearted disciples Of fair
Terpsicl,are kept "on with the merry
dance" until the comet was some dis
lance above the horizon in the eastern
sky, heralding the near approach of day.
We ,,avo heard several complimentary
references to the excellent music fur
nished by Mrs. N. A. Candle. and Mr..
Jno. I. Terric. No better cnHld have
been desired. Il is reported the Terps.
contemplate giving another hop in the

We were mucl, CONCERNED last Satur-

We were much concerned last Satur-
day night upon hearing that Capt.
D'Evereaux Jones, the gent'emanly Off
cial in charge of the tax collecting
department of the sSheriff7s Office, had
been Frustrated by an epileptic fit, but
oursoiicitude shappily relieved shortly
afterward by the report that the Captains
condition was much improved. We were
glad to see him at his usual post of duty
on Tuesday, looking pale and somewhat
attenuated about the face, it 10 true, bnt
many degrees removed from the condi-
ton which is termed in technical Ian
guage as III artieulo merits. Our wish is,
Cap, that such incidents in Your career
may be like the visits OF the Inhabitants
of celestial dominions to this vale of
tears, few and far between

In addition to the reward of $500
advertised by Dr.. McGalliard Of Donald
souville for the arrest Of Gustaye Harris,
the murderer Of young Erwin Garrett,
the Governor Of the State has also offered
5000 for the apprehension and conviction
of the fugitive criminal. The Governors
proclamation is dated Nove.05er is, and
will remain in force thirty days. A mar
bearing some resemblance to the desert D
ton of Harris was arrested in St. Charles
parish last week, but upon examination
it WAS thought his color was lighter than
that of the murderer, and lie was re-
leased. The next day the fellow left the
plantation where he had been working,
not stopping oven to draw the money
due him for his labor, and it is said lie
remarked that he had had narrow
escape and would not stay to risk another.
The st. Charles Herald prorounds the
pertinent query, WAS he the man Z u
and it seems to lis the circumstances are
sufficiently suspicious to warrant the
authorities in tracing up the suspected
individual aud making further iuyestig:.-
ton as to bis identity.

purtunity will be afforded us for compen-
sating ourselves for the disappointment
of Wednesday. Mr.. Jones and the young
ladies came down to attend the Terpsi-
chorean ball, and returned home by boat
tue following night. We shall expect to
hear from them that they were delighted
with their trip to Donaldsonville, aud
while there is nearly always disposition
to indulge III Hattery and excusable
exaggeration in such cases, we feel sure
they will tell the Truth about it.

Yellow has grewn to be u favorite color

corner of st. Patrick and Claiborne
streets, promises to become one Of the

No pains or effort will be spared by Mr..
Wild to keep on hand a full and first

plies. so as to meet the demands of his
large aud constantly increasing trade,
and those who patronize the yellow
Store once will find it to their interest to
do so again. Mr.. Jos. Bradford has the

under way justiGes us in giving assn
RANGES that the coming ball will he in no
wise inferior to its predecessors-in fact,
it will not surprise us if it surpasses any
former effort of the popular Phoenix in
that direction. The large crops being
made by our sugar planters promise a
season Of unusual prosperity, and almost
everybody will be i'll I; humor for seeking
amusement and recreation during the
holidays, hence it may be regarded Il
foregone conclusion that the Phoenix ball
will be brilliant aud highly successful
affair.
