stances, done much 20 secure the pres mt happy
and prosperous condition OF the country, and
thus we recognize in him faithful and worthy

patriot soldiers OF the late war a preference ac-
cording To qualifications for positions under the
| Government. Soldiers aud sailors, their widows

thorough and correct ciyil-service reform in all
the departments OF the national and State ad
ministrations.
& We require that all offices bestowed within
the party shall be upon the sole basis of fitness;
that competent and faithful officers shall not
be removed except for cause sand that the ascer,
out by those holding office by favor OF the
party.
.. That the Republican party is unequiyocaly
committed TO the economical administration OF
the affairs OF the commonwealth, the abolition
of all taxes not required for the necessities OF
the State Government; that all laws Z, pre-
vent fraud and waste should be rigidly enforced
and faithful given TO the multifarious in

IL. That the Democratic party in'the Legisla-

the legitimate and necessary business OF the
Legislature, causing the calling OF an extra
session at an expense of more than 5000 600, and
preventing a fair and just apportionment OF the
State and Congressional, Legislative and judi
cial districts, and we hereby heartily commend
the action Of the Republican Senate on these
measures.
WHEREAS, It is the sense Of the convention
that the freest and fullest expression OF Repub-
lican sentiment should be encouraged and sought
in primary meetings, which are the fountain OF
party action and source of pOpular rule, and that
this object be promoted by holding primaries
for the election of delegates TO the convention
throughout the State as far practicable, on
some convenient day not remote from the con-
vention; therefore,
Resolred, That the State Committee be in
structed to inquire into the expediency Of fixing
uniform day throughout the State for holding
primaries for the election of delegates TO State
conventions.

PRODUCTS-MANU FAC-
TURING AND AGRI-
CULTURAL AD-
VANTAGES,
ETC.

St. Tammany parish is located
twenty-five miles north of New Or
leaus. CovingtoL, the county site,
is ten miles further north, in the
interior, and is delightfully."- located
on the Bogue Falia.
IMMIGRANTS,
with o. small amount of capital and
fair supply Of industry and perse-
verance, cannot possibly do better
than locate in our parish. The eli
mate is as fine as any in the world.
The winters are generally mild, and
snow rarely falls. Spring opens
early in February. with blossom
on the peach and ounce trees, and
vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat Of summer is moderate,
and the unfailing breezes of the
evening refresh man aud beast after
the labors of the day.
THE SOIL
is very productive, and admirably
adapted for raising sugar cane, cot
ton, oats, corn, rice, peanuts, etc.
The vine is indigenous, and yearly
bears large harvests OF delicious
fruit. Oranges, pears. peach, piums,
ounces, figs and pecans thrive well.
CATTLE AND SHEEP
Craze upon our pine lands through
out the year, and seldom are fed in
winter, thus making st. Tamnany
the slock-growers' home. Farming
and stock lands can be purchased at
rates varying from 81 to s5 per
acre, and Government lands to
actual settlers
WATER POWER.
There is an abundance, OF water
power, already Improved, inviting
the attention of manufacturers. We
have no doubt a small factory, snch
as already abound in Alabama aud
Georgia, for the purpose of con
verting our cotton crop into. yarn,
would prove a paying investment.
FIRE CLAY
is found in abundance, as well as
CLAWS suitable for pottery ware OF
the very finest texture, purely white,
and free from sand or grit. Per-
sons having a practical knowledge.
of such business would soon realize
a fortune in manufacturing and
such wares to the New
Orleans market.
MANUFACTURE OF GLASS
Sand suitable for the manufacture
of glass is also abundant ali alcng
the banks of the Bogue Falia, above
the town OF Coyington. It has been
practically tested by pi;tsi,nrs
manufacturers, and found To con-
tain all the necessary properties 20
produce the finest glassware.
CONVICTION,
the county site, contains about
eight hundred inhabitants, and is
the best business point in the par
ish, commanding mitch Of the trade
of both ST. Tammai.y am Washing

mond. He arose at once, and, I'm be-
half of his company, said that he
knew not the fair lady who had
been so kind to the Blues, but he
would answer for them: that II she were
a wife, her husband should give her an ex-
ira kiss; II widow, the Blues would pro-
vide her husband worthy OF such wife |:
and II she be maiden fair, then she should
select for herself the flower Of the flock.
THE SHADOW OF HISTORIC EVENT.
The other toast sent by this patriotic
lady, whose name unfortunately has been
lost to history. indicates that as far back as
the days about which these lines are writ
ten there were those who feared a war
between the States. The toast was read rs
follows:
"The Union-The citadel OF the uni
verse, TO which freedom has retreated as
her last fortress. Let not her walls, ce-
mented by the blood of our fathers, be rent
by the intestine broils Of their sons.
- The gttering flag that DER us shines
Is III with stars OF kindred light,
And. blended, weave In glowing lines
Those stripes that speak nations might"
As the voice OF Captain John ID. Num-
ford ceased, Mr.. Thomas Ritchie jumped
to his feet, and in loud voice exclaimed,
union to the fair authoress OF that toast
Union to a man worthy Of her"
Late in the evening the soldiers again
paraded In the Capitol Square, and the
artillery fired the evening salute. after
which the battalion was dismissed, and
the Washington Rinemen repaired to their
encampment.

THE ST. LOUIS DEFEAT THE yIRGINIAs--A
LARGE ATTENDANCE.
The game OF baseball Yesterday after.
noon between the st. Louis (AssOciati0D)
Club and the Virginias was witnessed by
between $500 and 1900 persons. among
whom were quite large number OF ladies.
As Is well known the visiting Club is q
flrst-class organization. having few equals
in the country as skilful ball-players, and
for that reason it would be unfair TO the
Virginias, who are comparatively new to
the business, to judge them by the same
standard that would apply to professional
clubs. Under the circumstances they
played very fair game, although 1t was
evident from the start that they were no
match for their more experienced competi-
tors. Ferguson did not seem to be bene-
fited by his rest. While his pitching was
quite as strong as usual, 1t lacked in accu-
racy. Several OF the visitors got first base
on called balls, which proved a serious dis
advantage to the home team. Morgan also
seemed to be somewhat of his balance. and
did not play with his usual vim.
Sullivan pitched for the st. Louis. His
delivery was apparently weak, but the Vir-
ginias did very poor work at the bat, Fer
guson and Beach being the exceptions.
On the other hand, the st. Louis found no
difficulty in batting Ferguson.
One feature which was not relished by
the spectators was the loose playing OF the
visitors in the latter part OF the game.
They knew that the victory was theirs,
and finished up in a mechanical sort OF
way that made it decidedly unllteresting.
This was all wrong. Our people want to
see real games, and don't fancy anything
like throwing off,"
The following il the score.

AT meeting OF the Welsh Community
held at the Buckingham Slate Quarry on
SATURDAY,, August IL, 1888, the following

dorsed by the citizens OF New Canton In
public meeting, were unanimously adopt
ed:
whereas 1t has pleased the Great Creator
OF heaven and earth to remove from us
our hmented friend DR.. A. w. Fontaine,
IL becomes us, the Welsh Community, TO
express our unfeigned sorrow at the sepa-
ration; therefore we resolve.
1. That In his death we have lost not
only an eminent physician, but an esteem
ed friend and valuable citizen.
2. That we will ever cherish his memory
with the hope that when life's dream Is
past we shall meet on the blissful shores OF
eternity.
8. That while we deeply deplore the loss
o. one so universally beloved, we believe
his emancipated spirit reioiccs in the pres
ence of a glori6ed Redeemer, and that he
is now the companion OF saints and angels
in realms where sorrow is unknown.
4. That we tender To his bereaved wife
and children the most heartfelt sympathies
Of this Community.
5. That in his death we have an irrepara-
BILE loss.
resolutions shall be sent to his sorrOwing
family. and shall he printed in the Rich

Captain ID. NJ. GOOde.

One OF the best and most useful citizens
OF Chesterfield county has passed over the
river. Captain d. NJ. Goode is dead. After
painful and lingering illness Of more
than one month he breathed his last on
August 13. 1888. In the vigor Of man.
hood. in the zenith OF his popularity, and
with bright hope Of immortality, he was
taken from his family, from his friends,
and from his country. No man was more
beloved and respected in the county OF
Chesterfield. His war record was worthy
OF the man. Leaving home as soon as the
tocsin OF war was sounded, he remained
in tie army until the surrender at Apo
mattox. distinguishing himself bv faith
full and fearless discharge OF duty. He
was wounded two or three times while in
the service, but considering his wounds
only marks Of honor. he returned to his
command as soon as he was able TO per-
form the duties of soldier. lie left the
army with the rank OF captain, and with
the universal esteem of his comrades.
Returning home at the close Of the war,
he found his property destroyed and his
prospects OF success dark indeed. With
his natural bopeiulness, and with spirit
dauntlcss and unsubdued, lie beat bis
sword into a plowshare and his spear into
a pruning-hoOk. Success crowned his I'M
remittin. labOrs and made his farm, which
he found a wilderness. blossom as a rose.
His fellow-citi2eus desiring 10 honor such
q man, elected him supervisor of the cOun-
ty for four successive terms. As chairman
Of the Board OF Supervisors he reflected
honor upon his county and protected the
interest Of her people. lie was nominated
as a candidate for the Legislature in 1881,
but was defeated.
With such record rs a man, a soldier,
and 4 citizen, it will not be surprising to
find that Captain Goode was a prominent,
active, and consistent Christian. As pri
vate member Of Mt. Hermon church, as
superintendent OF the Sunday school, as
moderator OF the Middle District Associa-
tien, in all OF these relations every one
who knew him will bear willing testimony
to his purity Of character and 10 his faith
ful discharge Of every duty imposed upon
him.
His funeral will be preached by his pas
tor, Rev. ID. B. Winiree, at his late resi-
dence, at O'Clock p. NJ. to-day He will
be buried at Mt. Hermon church.
