TIiE LOUISIANA BOON,
Some Very Choice Reading.

Notwithstanding the overflow and
the unfavorable spring, the people of
Louisiana have substantial reasons to
be bouyant and hopeful. Reports like
the following, from papers whose edi-
tors we know not to be given to exag-
geration and who are practical men
and workers, make the very choicest
BITS of "glad tidings'
[Sabine Southron.l
The mast is reported to be full and
abundant this season. Meat which has
imposed very heavy drain on the
pockets of our farmers, will be consider
ed of minor consequence next year.
IBossier Banner.1
The people of this parish will have
plenty of food this year for man and
beast. There may not be much money
left after paying up debts, old and new,
but everybody who has made an effort
will have plenty to eat.
webster Tribune.l
We notice a large number OF sugar
mills and evaporators being brought to
this Parish by our farmers. This is a
good sign and we are glad to see it. Cane
is very fine this year and a large quanti-
ty of molasses will be made. 1t begins
to look as if our farmers have aWoke
to the Importance of a diversity OF
crops and mean in the future to raise
more and buy less Let the good work
go on.

HOW TO INSURE VICTORY.

The Proceedings of the Congressional
Convention Wednesday were conducted
with deliberation and with that
dignity and attention due to so grave a
duty as the wise selection of candl-
date for Congress. Each of the fifteen
parishes were represented by delegates
in person, who by their presence and
their earnestness gave proof positive
that their constituencies are zealously
enlisted for the election next Novem-
Der. Let them not only remain inn
pressed with this feeling, but even in
crease their zeal, since we are assured
that the Republicans with their million
of dollars now ready for distribution in
doubtful districts Erit1e article on 1st
page] will buy UP every purchasable
vote and will organize and drill their
forces wherever as much as a corporal's
guard can be found.
The Fifth district cannot hope to es-
cape the corrupting influence oftwenty
or thirty thousand dollars, nor need
tho Democrats expect to set the pace
at slow time. They may look conf
IDENTIFY for Federal interference in the
persons of deputy marshals and super
| visors, and persistent intermeddling by
the deputies, clerks and agents of the
New Orleans CustOmhousc and Post
Office and by the agents of the Trea.
sury department at Washington. This
extraneous Republican aid will not be
long in coming, and we, therefore,
| u,:ge the great importance of a speedy
reorganization. of tho Democrats IN
| ere1Y Ul0H throughout tho District,
subject to the central organization in
each pasish. To this end, let leading
men at once circulate, in their several
wards, lists for the formation of cam
paign clubs. Every voter, white and
colored, should be solicited to join and
impressed with the vital importance of
voting III November. A thorough
within the present month, and the
country occupied, votes counted and
victory assured before our enemy has
fairly placed his corruption fund at
work and his willy subalterns in the
field.
Our Democratic friends will find this
advice salutary, rs they will SEQ in
November, and we trust they will not
delay re- organization, or that ono man
will wait upon another and thus
certainly lose the benefits of first
claim on the suffrage of the voter.

CROP ITEMS,

Cotton picking has commenced in our
parish, and will be hurried right along
! to the end OF the season. The prospect
is flattering for a good Clinton
Waterman, 26th.
The impression very generally pre-
walls that the cotton crop in this parish
will be an unusually good one if we have
a late, dry fall.-Bossier Banner.
COTTON WoRMs.-We learn from Mr..
Marcelle Jones, that the second crop of
worms are very thick in his cotton.
He thinks they are also doing much
| damage to Mr.. Henry Story's CROP
DeSoto Democrat, 25h.
The cotton crop sowed this year is
much larger than preceding years.
Picking is brisk in some places and in
a few days will become general.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the fine
cane crop. We could speak of inferior
cane, if there were any in the parish !
| We cannot remember of ever having
seen as fine a crop on the Teche, and
| we expect "wonders" in the yield
st. Martin Observer 10Th.
We could very well have done with
| out any rain whatever this week,-a
! it was, there has been shower nearly
every day. Cotton is beginning to suf-
| fer. 1t is to be regretted that this mat
| ter of rain can not be regulated in some
way,-it rains just when we don't want
it and vice versa.-Latityette A0re,'-
tiser, 2Gfh.
Favorable reports Of good crops come
to us from every section of the Parish.
The greatest Of plenty OF corn potatoes,
peas &C., is made throughout the Parish.
The precarious period for cotton is
about passed and the yield of the staple
will be enormous.-.Su6ine 4SoetAron.
From every quarter, swamp and hills,
come the glad tidings that crops are
unequaled. Cotton indicates an abund-
ant yield, the acreage is reduced from
last year fully one third. Corn in the
hills is naog'auna 6onetna and an increased
acreage over previous years.
The scare about cotton worms having
subsidized, we announce with pleasure
that we have taken the trouble to inves
tigate the matter, and have to say that
no worms exist now szftzHoat1u Nem;s,
2GtA.
The stalk is unusually we'll fruited
and without disaster will yield an
abundant crop this season. Three
quarters of a bale is already assured.
The worms have appeared in all Sec
tons of the parish, but no serious APP
prehension Of damage of them is enter
tanned, as almost every planter has
provided poison and sprinklers for their
destruction and will use them as soon
the worms begin to depredatc. Some
planters are using them now, although
the worms have not commenced to eat
the plant, except in n few places. 1t is
expected that the eating will be pretty
general by next week, when the battle
will begin, and with favorable dry
weather, the worms be eNterminated.-

ANOTHER RAILROAD POINTING
THIS WAY.

| We find tho following item of in
Times of Saturday last:
| A gentleman of Pine Bluff has writ
ten to some of our citizens that Mr..
@. +. Stephens, the chief engineer of
the Paramore road, has made an official
report to the President of that COM
pany, recommending the construction
of a branch road from Pine Bluff to
Monroe, running through our town.
The lie tier also communicates the fact,
that Mr.. Stephens will shortly make a
personal inspection of this country, and
if convinced Of the feasibility and pro-
bable paying character of the enter
prise, will advise immediate action.
The gap from Pine Bluff to Monroe
through our county is bound to be filled
and that soon. The line would pass
through a splendid country, healthy,
suitable for small farmers, fine Tor fruit
and vineyards, capable of supporting Il
dense population. Let Mr.. Paramore
or Mr.. J. Gould look to this thing at
once, as somebody is going to lose u
bargain.
There is good evidence corroborative
of that furnished by the gentleman
from Pine Bluff. The railroad map
recently issued by the Paramore sys-
tenn, of which the line from Waco to
st. Louis, now rapidly approaching
completion, is the main line, or trunk,
has, with other branches and lines, the
route from Pine Bluff to Monroe very
informed that Col. Paramore and as
sociates are exceedingly anxious to
penetrate the rich cotton district lying
contiguous to the proposed route along
its entire length. The transformations,
but rapid and self-reliant progress made
by the Paramore system affords 4 sure
guarantee that the road will be speedily
built once its construction has been
determined on. Col. Paramore is Il
man of wonderful energy and resources,
having developed, unaided ut the
beginning, an idea thought to be vision
airy and absurd, into a railroad, soon to
be completed, nearly GOO miss
in length, and this within
a period of time so brief and so
recent as not to have attracted public
attention, or ever to have been heard
of by probably one-half the readers of
this article. To his marvellous energy,
he is enabled to add unlimited credit
and the confidence of some of the fore
most capitalists Of the country. We
are of the decided opinion that
Jay Gould may find some of the rich
territory tributary to his st. Louis and
New Orleans Short Liue railroad &C.
cnpied when he gets to work, unless
orders are issued to begin operations
| very soon.

TIE Extra Session Legislative
Proceedings.
COLUMBIA, S. C., July |

COLUMBIA, S. G., July l, 1882.
EDrToRs COURIER: The extra session of the
General Assembly promises TO be the shortest
held since the war. The Senators and Repre-
scnta,ives from hc various counties OF the State
have met, thoroughly imbued with the idea that
the least legislation done now the best and con-
scqucn,ly without dissenting voice it has been
determined to confnc legislation to tho special
subject for which the session was called.
Two special committees were appointed,
charged with the duties of mapping out lcgisla-
ton and rcdistrclng the Congressional Districts
to conform 10 the recent apportionmcnt Of rep
rcsentatiyes by The Congress of the United
States.
The preliminary work for the enactmant Of
laws cmbodying the views Of the Democracy
was done by Democratic caucus.
The committee OF two appointed from each
Congressional District TO consider what subjects
should receive Legislative attention reported TINT
they deemed it unwisc TO enter into any general
legislation at this session, aud recommended
that tho work be confined to matters of cleo
tions and kindred subjects:
1st. Altering The constitutional provisions in
reference TO the creation of new counties in
accordance with Gov. IIagoods message
I'd. A change of constitution so as TO enable
the General Assembly to fix the day for holding
tho general election for State and county officers.
81. To amend tho election law in reference 10
polling precincts.
4th. 10 extend The time for registration.
These several matters were passed upon in
caucus, preparatory 10 their introduction in tho
Senate and House, with the understanding that
the action Of the caucus should be binding.
The joint resolution to change tho constitution
so as to enublo the General Assembly to fix tho
day of general elections for State and county
Offices, was passed with great unanimity. Tho
object of this amendment is to separate State
and Federal elections.
The registration and election laws wore also
amended in n few unimportant particulars.
Corrections as to names Of supervisors of regis
tration and their assistants, in which there was
some confusion in the Act, was made, and a fcw
additional polling precincts were made.
Interference and obstruction Of supervisors
and their assistants was made q misdemcanor
with heavy penalties. County Boards and State
Boards Of Canvassers were made judicial
officers to hear and decide protests in elections,
These with q few other amendments wore
adopted.
Tho effort to extend the time for registration
was unsuccessful, it appearing from tho original
OF that supervisors had sufficient power for this
purpose.
Tho proposed constitutional change in refer
