Editor DEMOCRAT
We are once again settled in good
old Chlcot, and as usual find everything
rocking along smoothly. We are lav-
ing cool and delightful weather, and if
IL will only last two or three weeks, oul
farmers will soon have all their cotton
picked, ginned and sold. Oar two
young and esteemed friends, doctors
Willie l.. Hawkins and Jno. Haas, bade
farewell to ChicOt and its numerous
attractions several days ago, and are
now located two miles from tnatai gu
lei post Office, where they will at any
and all times be ready to administer
and wait on the sick. We received IA
Cali about ten days ago from Col. Tom
llnson OF New Orleans who WAS on his
Way to Deficiency Springs for his
health, and a day or two ago the Col.
dropped us note and stated that he
was improving wonderfully. SO much
for Bell-Cheney. Now, Mr.. Editor,
You nearly guessed right when you met
me few days ago in the Court house,
and imagined l wanted to sue that girl
OF mine for breach OF promise. She
did really give me my walking papers.
But dear girl that she is, | did not
blame her much, for when that girl of
mine from Arkansas was down here a
few weeks ago [ suppose paid her a
little too much attention, and when she
lett called on the other one, and sure
enough | got left, and Mr.. Editor, if
ever a girl did go back on you, you can
easily imagine how | felt, but such is
life, and $50 mote it be-" Miss Sal
lie Anselm, a sweet and attractive
young lady left Sunday to be gone
several days on Cocodrie, and Miss +.
Belle Hawkins will leave in two or
three days for Opelousas. We wish
our young lady friends much pleasure
and happiness during their ahsense,
and also wish them a speedy return,
as we have no young ladies to spare
from our midst. Mr.. Octave Fontcuot
arrived III town this evening, and will
on Tuesday register all voters who have
not heretofore registered. Business is
beginning to be q little brisk, and cot
ton is coming i'll quite lively. The corn
crop is a little better than was expect
ed seve1al weeks ago, and the later
crop promises to be unusually large.
improvement in our vicinity is slowly
but still going on. We notice that orr
friend Mr.. William Thomas, is having
his residence retitted up until it looks
like an entirely new place, and w. +. |
Moore, Esq, has put him up a neat and
pretty little cotton house. We hope he /
will make enough cotton to fill it up.

| A lot of Republican politicians, most
! Of them negroes from tins city, have
inst held a pow-wow at Red River
| Landing for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Congress i'll the Sixth
District. The result Of the delibera-
lions, the trading, or whatever it WAS,
which produced concentration Of &C
| ton at this conventions, is that one of
the !essees of the penitentiary has been
promoted to the rank OF competitor
with Gen. Heron for Congressional
honors. II the Republicans Of the Sixth
District have been truly and faithfully
represented in this socallfd conven-
ton, they may be said to have given up
the fight, leaving Il walk over for the
Democratic nominee. They never
would have nominated IA man with no
more of a record AS a party man than
Tracger can boast OF, if they had
thought there WAS the least chance of
success. We conclude, therefore, that
there will be no serious opposition to
Gen. Heron unless Gen. Souer finally
decides to accept the nomination OF il
much larger and more respectable con-
vention OF Republicans which was
held at Baton Rouge on the 18Th.
The theory of the Red River Conven-
ton delegates is, Of course, that the
Baton Rouge Convention was not
Irregular" We know nothing of that.
But we do know that the nominee of
the one last held has no more chance of
success against General Heron than
Henry Demas has of polling a majority
of the votes in the Second District.
The man is personally unknown to the
Republicans of the entire district, and
it is il subject of good deal of Specu-
lation among them why he should have
tal1en the trouble and incurred the eX-
pense Ono tritie, as we supposel, for
such an honor. Why he should leave
his profitable employment of overlook
ing the convict labor camp to bid for an
entry into the political arena with such
a stalwart knight as General Heron, is
one OF the knottiest problems of the
And we do not think the
of the district have added
to their reputation for sagacity in yield
ing to the solicitations and influences
employed by the ambitious asprant to
the honors of defeat at the hands Of
the Democratic candidate.
The Radicals have evidently lost
their grip in the district, and seem to be
willing to peddle out such cheap honors
as bad management has left them to
the highest bidder, regardless Of his
social status or political antecedents.
They have simply sold out the fight in
advance, like people who saw they had
no chance Of success, giving a quit |
claim on terms so low as to tempt the |
ambition of a young man who only |
aims at the honorS OF defeated candi- |
lacy. There has been no circumstance
in any other Congressional district of |
this State that gives the Democracy so |
much real pleasure as this setting aside |
IF every Republican in district full Of |
lble and orthodox party men. in favor |
IF one who has no chance whatever of |
being elected. 1t creates division in |
5he Republican ranks which ensures
he election of Gen. Heron.

An ALLEGED Dedication.

This community, especially the intimate
friends and acquaintances Of ii. G. Ev-
crit. Esq, young lawyer Of Savannah,
Secretary Of the Savannah Mutual Loan
Association. and Treasurer of the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Loan Association,
were taken somewhat aback by reports
which prevailed during the latter part of

proven false to the trust repOsed in him
by his associates in those organizations,
and had left Savannah under the stigma OF
malfeasance in his official position TO a
considerable amount in one Of the assOcia-
fious.

day last. and with the evident intention
of not returning. for he has, since leaving,
written letter 10 the President of one of

mected % that effect. We understand that
he admits a small Indebtedness to the assO-
citation Of which he was Treasurer, and
we learn from pretty good sources that

FIREMEN IN PERIL.
Tive Exciting Runaways - Miraculous
Escape of the Waiver Engine Drivers.


I've Exciting Runaways - Miraculous
Escape of the Waiver Engine Drivers.
On Saturday night, while the Waiver
fire engine Svas coming down Jefferson
street on its way to the fire on the Bay,
the extra driver, Mr.. VIM. Guyse, who
was in charge of the team, was thrown
from his seat by a sudden jar near the
corner of Bryan street and, fell on the
tongue of the engine, but fortunately did
not lose his hold on the
reins. The fall of the driver
alarmed the horses, and they sped across
Bay street and down the steep incline
leading TO the river at the foot Of Barnard
street. Mr.. Guyse was unable to regain
his position on the seat during the mad
flight of the frightened horses down the
steep grade, and only saved himself
from falling under the advanc-
ing wheels of the ponderOus engine
by clinging desperately to the harness.
When the horses reached the foot of Bar
nard street they turned into River street,
and were soon after brought under con-
troll. The escape of driver and horses
seems almost miraculous.
After the fire was eXtinguished, the reg
ular driver, Mr.. Walmsley, took charge
of the horses, and in returning along
River steret, Oh the way to the engine
house, the engine in the darkness
collided with the hose reel of the Waivers,
standing on one side Of the street, and
then came in contact with a bale of hay
that had been thrown on the street. This
again alarmed the horses, and becoming
unmanaageble, they dashed along River
street, turning on to the wharves
i'm rear of Haywood, Gage Il Co.'S.
ice house, and were making a dag
onal line for the river, when they
ran across gang plank lying on
the wharf One of the horses was
thrown down and the engine passed
over him. The other horse scrambled over
the gang plank, carrying the engine with
him, and then fell. Some members of the
company who had followed here overlook
the runaways and secured the fallen horse.
Had it not been for the obstruction of the
gang plank the horses in all probability
would have dashed into the river.
An examination showed considerable
damage to the harness and engine, and
the latter will have to undergo some re-
pairs before she is again fit for service.
The horse that fell is considerably cut and
bruised, but received no serious injury.
The other animal was uniniured.
Mr.. Walmsley, despite his critical posi-
ton. escaped unht1rt.
