A BAD MUDDLE.
An Error in Redistricting Tennessee


WASHINGTON, October I'D. B. Hen
derson, Secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Congressional Committee, has been
advised of serious defect in the law passed
by the Tennessee Legislature to rearrange
the Congressional districts in that State 1t
appears that the bill for this purpose as 1t
passed the Tennessee Senate was amended
in the Lower House, and through clerical
error three counties-Cumberland Meigs
and Rhea, which by the Senate bill
were assigned to the Third district-were
omitted. The bill as amended in the
Lower House was finally agreed to by the
Senate, but the error was not discovered
and corrected. AS a consequence these
three counties are not assigned to any Con-
gressional district, and the voters residing
In them, should the election be held under the
new law, will be debarred from voting for
Representatives In Congress. The matter
causes some comment here, and various
opinions are expressed as to the effect of
this omission on the status of the entire
delegation from Tennessee in the next Con-
gress. Colonel Henderson thinks the voters
of these counties cannot constitutionllv
be deprived of their right to vote for Repre-.
sentative, and that II the defect is not rene
died it may vitiate the title to a seat'of every
member elected under the new law. He has
suggested that the Governor of Tennessee
call a special session of the State Legislature
for the purpose Of remedying the defect.

il childhood were not in the world,
But only men and women grown;
30 baby locks in tendrils curled,
No baby blossoms blown;
Though men were stronger, women fairer,
And nearer all delights in reach,
And verse and music uttered rarer
Tones OF more gO1like speech;
Tho9gh the utmost Of life's best hours
Found, as It cannot now find, words;
Though desert sands we're sweet as flowers
And flowers could sing like birds,
But children never heard them, never

This We're a drearler star than ever
Yet looked upon the sun.

MINOR TOPICS.

The comet still displays its brilliant bead and
caudai appendage in the morning sky, and the
negroes rejoice that the predicted collision
with the sun did not quench his glory for
seventy" long hours. Many fully expected
such catastrophe. Perhaps this gorgeous
luminary was sent to neutralize and bring Ia
naught the lugubrious vaticinations of Vennor
Tor September and October. II SO, it has
proved success, for never has such glorious
harvest weather been beheld for the past five
weeks. The effect has been to exc out very
considerably both the quantity and quality OF
the cotton crop. Still the equinoctiaI gale of
the 9TH ultimo most effectually destroyed the
top crop" and wiped out of existence thou
sands OF bales Of the open staple.
Prices, too, have receded unaccountably. and
the agricultural pulse does not beat as high as
In the beginning OF autumn. Heaven be
praised. however, our barns are filed to over
flowing with corn and oats, and the potato
yield will be excellent. Now let the farmer
improve the heeting season by again sowing
down a greater breadth than ever of his land
in the food producing cereals, and thus effec-
tually drive away the wolf from his door.

The Times-D Democrat, speaking Of
the recent murder Of Jacques Hirsch,
in Ascension parish. by Jno. S. Minor,
says this makes Minors fourth muir

Of the murderer: Twenty-three years
of age, FIVE feet nine inches in height,
with q sandy mustache and light
blue or blueish gray eyes, and fond
of whisky and cards.
An old man by the name of w. +.
Fackler, carpenter, aged sixty-fiye
years, was brutally murdered in New
Orleans, few days ago, by a young
man named Riculf. Fackler had but
few months previous taken to his
bosom a young and handsome wife,
who had been induced to leave him by
man named Medium. The wife,
however, had conferred her affections
on Riculfi, who scarcely knew her and
cared nothing for her. This coming
to the knowledge Of McClum, he CON
ceiyed the idea Of putting both Fack-
Ter and Ricul6 out Of his way, by In
ducing the latter to slay the former,
knowing that Ricul6 would thus be
deprived of his liberty by the law.
The plan worked admirably, and BY
causing Riculfi to believe Fackler
would kill him orS sight, induced the
the former to lay for bis man, which
he did, putting the contents Of both
barrels of his shotgun into his body,
killing him instantly. Riculf and
McClum are in prison. Of the two,
McClum deserves the scyerest punish
ment.

New Orleans City Item.

New Orleans City Item.
The meeting held last evening at
Grunewsd Hall to devise measures for
the increase of the Mexican trade dis
PLAYED a good deal of business energy.
In the report of the committee APP
pointed at the previous meeting quite
a number of interesting facts touch-
ing the growth of our Mexican trade
were presented, together with sug-
gestions as to proper measures for its
enlargement. Senor Zamocona, the
resident Mexican consul, though not
present in an official capacity, stated
that when be came to New Orleans
about four years ago her trade with
Mexico was Insignificant in its extent
Since then an increase Of 400 per cent
had been effected. The mines of
Mexico are rich, he said, brt her
agricultural resources were still richer.
This is at least indicated by the vast
increase in her demand for agricultural
implements and also, by the increase
in her agricultural exports. But the
possibilities of the trade are immeas-
urably larger than anything that has
yet been accomplished, and New Or
leans is the natural point of supply
and demand for the products of the
two countries, The action taken by
our merchants in this matter seems
likely to result in the establishment Of
a Mexican Exchange at this point.

why They Prosper.

Capitolian-Adyocate.
In the far west, a lot of strangers
who have never heard of each other
before they happened to meet at the
same spot, go to work to build up a
city by sending word about that they
are located in a place destined to be-
come large city, because of its SUI
perior advantages. They go to work,
each man for himself, Of course, but
don't mind if they do help their neigh
bors little bit to get up in the world,
So that il turn, those neighbors may
be enabled 10 put their shoulders TO
the common wheel, alongside, to help
build Up the place. And they come
together every day IN the week, If it's
necessary, to try and gain some point
that will be Of advantage 70 the whole
community. In other parts Of The
country, people enjoy great satisfac-
ton if they can make money, while
their neighbors are merely scratching
for living. Ii that idea was discard
ca the money making men would make
more money out Of neighbors who are
making money too, if they only knew
it. And they would enjoy the nobler
and grander satisfaction that while
they have acquired wealth, they have
contributed nightly to briRg plenty
and contentment To the comfortable
homes Of fellow citizens who wonld
look upon them as friends and usefuI
citizens, instead Of believing them
selfish aud coldhearted.

Newspaper H.atronage.

Progressive Journalism" is the
caption of an admirably written arti-
Gle in last weeks issue of the New
Iberia Star, in which the editor
mildly, though justly, takes the busi-
ness men of New Iberia to task for
the meagre support given the press
of thar city. The Star is a worthy
paper, with editorial ability scarcely
second to any country weekly in
Louisiana. If given that support SO
essential to the welfare and prosper
ity of a newspaper, it could and
would do much toward enhancing
the material interests of the people
of its section. 1t is an absurdly mis-
taken idea which seems to have
taken possession of the souls of some
narrow-minded people that newspa-
pers are objects Of charity. Indeed,
we have been told here in Lake
Charles, by those whom we gave
credit and do yet of knowing better,
that they patronized the Echo in
order to help US along. We scorn
such offers of patronoge-do not seek
it and will not have it. If a we'll
conducted newspaper does not give
value received for every dollar that
is paid it, then there is nothing in
this world that does. What would
become of the country if every print
ing office, big and little, were to be
closed, say for period of only three
months? What pail Of darkness,
apprehension and even misery would
hang over the lapd. Had we the
power we would be soreiy tempted
to try the experiment, in order to
give that class of people who patron
ize newspapers for sweet charity's
sake" an opportunity of seeing how
they liked it. But these remarks are
not directed at the people of Lake
Charles and the country around us.
The Echo bears on its face unmis-
taxable evidences of a worthy appre-
citation by those amcng whom it is
laboring. But all communities are
not like ours, and it is at those short
sighted, penny-wise and pound.fool-
ish business communities that we
are thrusting. Newspaper men who
are SO unfortunate as to have cast
their lot among such, should not
fritter away their time and energies
among them, but seek some more
enlightened, progressive and appre-
ciatiTe people, who not only recog
nize the power for good welded by
the clean, honest and hightoned
newspaper, but esteem it a pleasure
10 put their shoulders to the wheel
and send it onward to prosperity and
increased usefulness and excellence.
