The independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania have rebuked Cameron
with all needful emphasis. Their re-
volt has destroyed his power and burst
the sbackles of the party. There is
nothing to break the shock Of his defeat
and it is safe to say he will never rise
from The. RUNS Of his shattered ''ma-
chine" to resume his role of dictator in
the politics Of the second State in the
Union. Over the election of q Demo-
cratic Governor as an incidental and
necessary consequence Of this struggle
for emancipation ipdicious Republicans
have no cause to grieve.-[New York

TnB DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The grand old party of the people
in the recent elections, has achieved
splendid victory for the cause Of civil
liberty. The principles enunciated by
the fathers, which have slumbered for
SO many years, whilst robbery, pecula-
ton and frauds have run riot in the
land, have again reasserted themselves
in the voice of the people. who have
awakened to sense of their own rights
and privileges and now knowing will
maintain them. The party which for
many years has profted by the teach
ing of false doctrines and corrupt prac-
tices, will have to surrender the scepter
of power and step down and out. The
people have determined that we shall
come back to the ancient landmarks set
by the fathers for the protection Of in
dividual rights and privileges. The
time has come when the peoples SER
wants will be held to strict accOunta-
bility for official transgressions. The
glitter and glamour of empire must
fade and pass away before the solid
rays of true republic, where the peo-
pie are the power and not their SER
wants. The people have, by twenty
years experience, become; convinced
that it is safer for them to maintain
their right to local self government
than to trust the protection of their
life, liberty and property in the keep
ing of great central despotism, which
magnifes by its distance and awes by
its absolute authority. Where the
people keep the administration of their
local affairs in their own hands and the
forms SO simplifed that all can readily
understand, no great abuses can long
continue without detection, and the
means are ever at hand for their re-
dress.
The Democratic party is founded
upon the principle that tho people are
the sovereign power; that they maintain
within themselves the elements of gov
ernment, and in state Of civilized So
ciety, under appropriate formss have
the right to administer their own Of.
fairs to their own liking; that major
ity shall rule, with due regards to and
respect for the rights of every member
of society. The people have learned
by g costly and ruinous experience
within the last twenty years, that tLis
is the only safe policy for republic to
pursue, and that the opposite principle
leads to frauds and dishonesty in the
administration of the government, at
the expense of the people. Whenever
the administration of the affairs Of
government are so far removed from
the people aid shroudsd and mysti6cd
by red tape that they cannot be ap-
preached or understood by those who
are directly interested, the temptation
for speculation and robbery is so great
that the only wonder IL that the people
have not been robbed Of their entire
substance ere this.

COL. R. A. HUNTER.

Some years ago Mr.. Aaron Prescott
died, and q simple mention in the pa.
pers announced bis departure. An al
most imperceptible bubble scarcely
marked the spot Of his going down,
and yet in his day he was q man OF
note and influence in our Parish. A
year ago Mrs. Moore died. Born in
Alexandria, a woman of refinement, of
no ordinary wit and intelligence, the
relict of ex-Gov. Thos. 0. Moore, with
plenty of friends in life, her death was
marked by simple announcement in
the papers. These facts do not speak
we'll for the community in which we
live.
A few days ago Col. r. A. Hunter
died. He belonged to generation
that is fast passing away, and he was
man in his day, and there were gil
ants ia those days. No notice of his
death has thus far been published be
yOnd q simple announcement, except a
noble and generous tribute dedicated
by filial love.
1t seems to me that there are offices
for the dead which should not be left
to be performed by near relatives
Friends should step forward aud per.
form those duties for which the griev-
cd soul and ogerburGened spirit have
no heart.
1t is not necessary for me to enter
into his history which has been so elo-
quently told and tsu'hinlly portrayed
by his son.
AS a school boy Col, Hunter was
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1882-08-02

wild, reckless, stubborn and self-will-
ed. His boyhood was the index of his
manhood. mortal of his mould would
have been a man Of mark among the
Camanches or the wandering Arabs, as
ne was amongst us. When lie died nc
ordinary mortal left this sphere
Some men are born to rule; others
plant, submissive aud humble are
born to be ruled. His way he believ-
ed to be the way, and no other would
he tread. He was not made to work
IN gear. No man nor set of men could
sit behind and pull the reins to tell
him the way to 60. Full of self-reli-
ance, self-con6dence, with an unfal-
teriug trust in his own Judgment, he
struck out his own path, and those
who followed were bis friends, and
woe to those who opposed him. The
world might be all opposed to him,
but he believed Col. Hunter to be
right. To accomplish his ends he
"would not fatter the worlds rank
breath, MOI bow to it's idolatries pa
tent knee" What he believed to be
right he pursued, even if he lost friends
and made enemies. Whilst his way
might almost have been considered a
warpatb, still it was strewn with the
flowers of kindness and Charity
Where he loved he loved with his
whole heart, and his heart was as ten
der az A wOman's.
But his characteristic was his iron
will, his unyielding spirit and strict
following OF what he believed to be
right Others through policy, or what
might seem the DEGREES of fate, would
submissively yield but he never would.
Like some giant oak bereft of it's leaves
and some of its limbs broken, when
tie rest of the forest had yielded to
the fury of the storm, he would still
stand proud and erect, contending
with the tempest and defying the
lightning's angry bolt.
tie struck many heavy blow and
received many blow in return. Let
MS hope that he died forgiving the
wounds which he had received and
that the ranking in the wounds which
he gave are forgiven and buried with
him. We ere not what we would be,
we are such as God made us. "rhere
is divinity that shapes our ends,
rongh hew them as We may"
Let us hope that the days of suffer-
ing which preceded his death hnmbled |
his proud spirit and softencd his heart
to receive the teachings of the meek
and lOUly Gal1iI;ean.
AS the sun Of life sank low upon the
horizon, the clonds Of sorrow which
gathered around were bordered with
The bright and golden hopes of an eter-
1al rest for his restless spirit.

Loud complaints from the other
side Of the Atlantic found their way
into the press short time ago, about
the alleged a1uiteratiou of cotton
with sand, and stories were told of
cotton bales which, when opened in
Liverpool, wore found to consist of
layers Of sand and cotton packed al
ternatcly. The New York Cotton
Exchange took the matter up and gave
it thorough examination, the result
Of which is to show that a great out
cry has been made over very trihing
cause. The committee that made the
examination find that nearly all the
Southern States have laws making it
an offence to adulterate or fraudulentIy
pack cotton, and there is one person
at least confined in the North Carolina
penitentiary for placing a large stone
in a cotton bale. Old cotton shippers
in New York testify that the losses by
these tricks have been greatly reduced
in the last twenty-five years. Cotton
bales frequently contain sand, but it
is not packed in them by the planter,
it is blown into the boIls in stormy
weather, or it comes from contact
with the soil when the stalks are blown
down. There was an unusually large
proportion of sandy or inferior cotton
in the crop of l8S0-8I, which the
planters were compelled to sell at the
ruinOusIy low prices of three to seven
cents a pound, and which was put on
the market only for what it was worth.
1t is very desirable that cotton should
be picked, ginned, packed and sent to
market as free from sand and dust as
possible, and it is To the interest of
planters that they should use the best
methods for putting it in this condi-
tion; but the New York Exchange re-
pels the intimation that cotton is
frauduIently packed by those who
raise it in the South.-TSt. Louis
