The Difference.

Onr esteemed contemporary, the More
house Clarion. il disposed to rejoice over
what 1t Is pleased To call our dc,rrtinn Of
the bourhons and going ovrr 20 the liberals
II We have correct apprehension of the
meaning Of the term bourbon We have
never claimed to belong to that class of
politicians We do not advocate extreme
measures. In the article To which the
Clarion referred and which appeared in
our columns some weeks since, We stated
in substance that We were willing to
assist in eiectlng the best, purest, most
honest, competent and progressive men to
direct our public affairs, and that il was
time for the rule Of cliqucs machines
and wire -pulers To cease controlling cur
politics. To this We still adhere, and claim
II ~ sound Democratic doctrine. We do
not nor have We ever favored any indie
pendent political party or movement. and
this is what we suppose constituted the
difference between ourselves and some of
what is commonly called the independent
press. We favor doing the work inside
the party ranks, which is the only safe
way Of accomplishing the desirable result
But the CLARION avers that this is oil il has
ever claimed. II this 10 the case, there
has been no difference between us. Bat
we greatly mistook the tone of some four
mails, we do not say the Clarion was among
them, if an independent political organiza-
ton was not advocated.
The rule of the Drmocrncyis bett than |
the corrupt and thieving sway OF the Re-
pablicans, but the Democratic party wonld
not BE- burt BY little purifying Bet. !

LETTER FRon BATON ROUGE.
Ed. Claiborne Guardian:

I'd Claiborne Guardian:
| Perhaps your readers would not object
10 hear from the capital. The much cursed
Legislature Is now at work in earnest, and
when yon know the fact that over two
hundred bills have been introduced. aud
besides resolutions by the wholesale, all
| of which have been before the house, aud
great many, at least one hundred, have
been discussed in committee and the house,
you will agree that the legislature have
done some work
You do the Democratic party an injus.
tice " hen you say, "tbe factions of the
party appear to bate each other more than
they do the enemy, and are more deter
mined in defeating each other than in -n-
acting snCh laws as the welfare of the State
drmaud.' The impression went abroad
that great hight was waging between the
Democratic members, which was from the
fact that very small minority undertook
to say that every question before the legis-
lature should he caucussed on; this WIS
settled, and now | can say never saw
more unity in the party.
As TO the Robertson and Walton affair.
am satisfied there is much less said here
than almost anywhere IN the State The
question az TO which of the two men il
Lieutenant Governor, seems to bother
every one. Should the Governor die or
resign the State would be IN an awkward
fix.
We have some very hard 6ghts-like, for
instance, we have had under consideration
today, the Sunday Law, on which there is
n division Of sentiment. tnd such men
a. Judge S"ay. of Caddo, opposing it, While
other prominent members very properly
favor 1t. We do not expect to sill quietly
down on snch subjects, but discuss the
merits and dement's. The difference in the
legislature and a mass MEETING in Clai-
borne parish is, the former Is governed
strictly by parliamentary law and are ac.
to the work; because a man is
in the legislature, il does not necessarily
follow that for harmony he must Keep
quiet. A.

For Congress.

We learn that Hon. Charles J. Boatner,
a leading member of the Monroe bar and a
cultured and polished gentleman, will be

Gen. J. Floyd King, the present imcum-
bent, will also he candidate for re-elrc-
| tion. Personally We have not the honor
! of an acquaintance with either Of these
distinguished gentlemen, and do not pnr-
pose dinparaaing the claims of the one or
championing tue candidacy Of the ether
Bnt We are satisfied that Gen. King is the
choice of very large majority of The De
lnocracy of TIN, parish. lie has represented

the two past terms, and his record is good
He has been faithful to his constituency

faithful and energetic worker. Loni-i-
ana has had no representative that has sur
passed Gen, King. We are satisfied that
the Fifth District will return Gen. King TO
Congress. All the journals in the District,
so far as they have expressed a preference,
favor the return of King. The idea is pop
nlar that when the people have n good,
taithfuland efficient official, that it il good
policy 10 retain him. The experience his
past official career has offered him onl,
prepares him for moro extended usefulness.
We are satisfied that this custom il a good
