TOLD YOU so.

But about the Legislature there
will be a struggle. The opposition
who were defeated by such a mar.
row margin at Baton Rouge, arc
moving heaven and earth to re.
trieve, or, at least, soften that
overthrow, by capturing the law
making branch of government x +
they have gone into the subordinate
campaign with renewed energy
and re-invigorated confidence, and
arc preparing to make it exceed
ingly warm for the administration
party.-Figaro, March %.
Which is just what YOU were told
in the TIMES two or three weeks
ago. The warning given then is
equally applicable now. They,
the opposition, are fighting to elect
an anti-administration Legislature.
By sticking together it is an easy
job to defeat them. Scatter and all
your previous work has been done
in vain.

THE MAILS.

The mails between Delta and
Monroe are now carried by boat al
together, with the exception of a few
miles of hand-car travel. The mail
skiff leaves Delta at 5 o'clock a. m.
and in consequence the mail is
brought over from Vicksburg the
night before, making it one day Ia
ter than usual. This cannot be
helped without sacrificing the pco-
pie west of here, and is the best,
that, under the circumstances, can
be done. 1t is, therefore, all the
more important that particular care
should be taken to avoid mistakes,
so that there shall be no unneces-
sary delay.

THE BIGGS LEVEE.

1t is rumercd that the part where
the break occurred in the Biggs lc.
wee was built by a lot of Swedes
who worked at night, and who took
advantage of the night to use old
bacon boxes, broken wheelbarrows,
empty barrels, ETC., to fill up with,
and that is why the levee broke.
No ono appears to be willing to
father these rumors, but they are
nevertheless floating around, and
it might be well for the proper au-
thorities to look into the matter
and see what foundation there is
for such reports.

Cowden Still Lives.

IfyOu don't believe it read this:
The bill introduced by Senator
Ingalls, "to make Lake Borgne an
outlet, to improve the low water
navigation of the Mississippi river
from New Orleans, La, to Cairo,
ILL.,, and incidentally to reclaim
and protect the valley lands of the
Mississippi river and tributaries
from overflow without levees. is
identical with the bill bearing that
title introduced on Jan Nth, in the
House, by Mr.. Young. 1t author
ICES John Cowden and others to
construct an outlet for the flood
waters of the Mississippi river,
and provides that they Shall be
paid 81 600, 600 for every foot, and
ratably for each fractional part of
a foot, that the flood line of the
Mississippi river shall be lowered
at the city of New Orleans. They
are to be paid s2,OOO,OOO for every
foot that the channel is deepened
from New Orleans to Cairo by the
said work.-Washington Post.
lfCowden could only have been
put behind Morganza just as it
broke he would probably have be-
come disguised with outlets. How
such generally sensible man as
ingalls, .conld be persuaded to in
troduce such a bill is a mystery.

An Opinion as to the Character of the
Disease.

CHICAGO, March 21.-Thc Daily
News Springfield Oll.) special
says DR.. n. III. Paaren, State Vet
Urinary Surgeon, reports to the De-
partment of Agriculture as a result
of his investigations into the al
legged cases of foot and mouth dis
ease in the State confirming the
statements heretofore furnished by
the Associated Press to the effect
that this disease is foot-rot caused
by exposure and low feeding, to-
gether with other unknown atmos-
pheric and tiluric causes. That it
is not contagious, but sporadic,
having appeared in Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
and that cleanliness and care have
already done much toward niti-
eating its effect.
DIR. Paaren is one of the ablest
veterinarians in the United States.

Doing it Brown.

The Levee Governor is up in the
highlands, we suppose canvassing,
and, it is to be presumed, making
himself solid, or trying to do so,
with the Democratic constituents
there. In the meantime the lcvees
are going to the devil down in the
lowlands, and the people are look
ing around for the levee policy.
They are telegraphing for aid and
assistance of every shape, and poor
Engineer Brown is left at the capt.
tai to look after things. Engineer
Brown has inspected many of these
levees, approved the bills for them,
and ought to know where all the
weak places are. He is standing
by the guns, however, as best he
can, and shutting around the James
Jail gang on paper in a manner that
must delight the Levee Governor.
But in the meantime the levees,
nevertheless, keep giving way, and
it now looks as though great many
of his supporters would have
to go in skitfs to the polls to vote
for him.
But there is, we must admit,
nothing like having Levee Gov
ernor, and nothing like getting him
up in the high lands at the danger
signal, where he is not in danger of
being drowned.-Picayune, March
25th.

while an outsider has no chance of
seeing and knowing the true in
wardness of the matter. Trusting
the Beacon may fully understand
the situation, which it wi if it
reads the TIMES, and hoping it will
not hesitate to speak out when it
feels SO disposed, the Times as
sures it that the State ticket is all
right, and also, that the parish
affairs are the same.

The Difference.

What is now called IIoldrogc, a
town in Nebraska, was four months
ago nothing but a trccless plain.
On October 8 last the first house
was brought there on wheels from a
nearby county. Since then sixty
two business houses and a proper
tionate number of dwellings have
sprang up there; and Holdroge is a
busy and thriving town.-T-D.

How They Are Going to Do It.

"All hope of Democratic unit,
on the tariff in Congress, or any
thing approaching it, has persisted
Both wings of the party are armin;
for the conflict. The ringing orde
for free trade advance sent out b,
Henry Watterson two days ago wa
the result of a deliberate deter.
mined purpose on the part of tn,
free trade leaders to force the fight
and it is now clearly apparent and,
indeed, distinctly assured that
they will desert Democracy to fol.
low free trade. The free traders
have been resting like an army in
winter quarters since the organiza.
ton of the House, but the order
has now been given for an advance
Carlisle and Morrison will force the
fight, not only in caucus, but in the
House. They now mean to cap
ture the party by a declaration in
caucus, then force the passage of
the Morrison bill, and thus make
the issue for the Chicago Conven-
ton in July. If the Convention
shall refuse to accept free trade and
fall back on the Ohio platform as
the policy of the party, it is now
openly declared by Carlisle, Morri-
son, Watterssn and others of their
persuasion that they will go outside
the Democratic organization to bat
tie for their free trade theory. They
practically confess that their tariff
policy would defeat the Democrat
ic party this year, but they are will
ling to let defeat come if necessary
to establish free trade as the clear
ly defined faith of the party. On
this point there is now no room for
misunderstanding. The conserva-
tive tariff Democrats who stood by
the traditions and teachings of the
founder of Democracy in favor of
the tariff discrimination for pro-
ductive industries are now fully
advised of the shock of battle that
is soon TO come, and they are fully
for it. They propose to
fight their battle inside the party.
A caucus will meet on Tuesday. In
that meeting the conservative DEM
ocrats will propose carefully and
frankly-drawn declaration on the
the Ohio plat
that will bring the par
ty squarely in the front ofthe issue.
There will be earnest helpmates
for Randall, Curtin, Eaton and Con-
verse from every section of the
Unionto assert determinations in
favor of productive industries and
against monopolies as the faith of
he party, but the tide is now with
power, and between the destructive
rec trade element, the Southern
element, that has the lingering
Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1884-03-29

The free trade argument, that
the price of goods will be reduced
by free trade, recalls the story OF
the Irishman in New York who,
on being told that beef was worth
40 cents pound, said that in the
old country he could buy it for six
pence. When asked why he did
not stay there and get it for six
pence, he replied that he could not
get the sixpence. So with free
trade. What is the use of a two
dollar article being reduced to one
dollar if the one dollar, by the lack
of work, is rendered harder to get
than the two dollars was before free
trade was inaugurated.

INFORMATION FOB EXCHANGES

The Richland Beacon has entire
ly misunderstood the TIMES, which
intended to say that while the fac
ton it represents was willing to
unite, il. was not willing to do so
if the defeated faction had the die
tation of the terms. The faction
represented by the TIMES took the
ground that the overtures should
come from the vanquishod who
made the division. The majority
pursued the even tenor of its way,
and the minority refused to ac-
knowledge the Executive Commit
tee appointed by the majority, but
had its own Executive Committee.
They simply refused to recognize
the representatives of the majority.
While the Journal talked harmony

Cash and Chalmers-that was to
politically regenerate the South by
making the negroes everywhere,
throughout that section of the
country, the rulers, about ten days
ago perfectly demonstrated his ut
ter unfitncss for any office of lead
ership, and gave the Administra-
tration no end for felicitation that
he had not been accepted to re-
deem South Carolina from Demo-
cratic thraldom. Col. Cash has a
son who has attained manhood and
great proficiency in the use of fire
arms. Perhaps ten days ago, this
son found it necessary to kill two
white citizens of South Carolina.
He was under the impression that
they were watching him, which
made their killing unavoidable.
After the murders he went home
and received the congratulations
and protection of his sire. This
state of affairs continued several
days, when the government of the
State offered a reward for the APP
prehension of young Cash, and
called out a large posse for the pur-
pose of searching the Cash castle
and the contiguous buildings and
grounds. The elder Cash, armed
to the teeth, was caught at a disad-
and. having to choose be-
tween death and surrender, did the
latter. He is now in Jail as Access
sary after the fact to the murders
committed by his son, and for pre-
venting officers of justice from ac-
,omplishing their purposes. He
will probably be convicted on both
,hese charges, and do the State
some service. His son is still at
arge, fugitive from justice. There
loes not appear to be a chance in
his favor should he be captured and
ried. The elder Cash has been

THE LEVEES.

AT the time of this writing the
levces are all right. Milliken's
Bend has been held against heavy
odds, but after a gallant struggle
the levec is still there. Omega was
the cause of considerable uneasi.
ness, as was Illawara and Buck
horn, but they still hold, and sew.
eral inches fall in the river has
placed them beyond danger.
All this goes to show what deter
mination can do. Twiddling
thumbs may be, for those whose
minds have a leaning that way, a
pleasant pastime, but no practical
results can result from it. The
difference between the two plans
can be seen without going far from
home. On the front the first plan
was adopted and the levecs were
held, while in Tallulah, the thumb
twiddling idea prevailed and the
town is overlooked; not very deep,
to be sure, which makes it so much
worse, but still overflowed, and
there is a probability of a race of
thumblcss people putting in an ap-
pearance in the course of a few
years, for the thumb-twiddlers will
eventually wear out their thumbs,
and will propagate race minus
that useful appendage.

WHICH IS THE MOST DANGEROUS

WHICH IS TREM0sT DANGEROUS
How would you like to see i !; !
Dennis, Hawkins, Bill Johnson ant
other, Republican leaders agaii
leading the colored people against
yOu?-Madison Journal.
Before you swallow this para.
graph, just wait one moment and
take into consideration few facts
regarding Gen. Dennis.
From the time he was boy, Is
years old, Gen. Dennis was an .ac-
tive Democrat. In the times of the
Kansas troubles, SO and Y, he
was U. S. Marshal under James
Buchanan. He was q war Demo-
crat, and a General in the Federal
army. After the war he settled in
Madison parish as a planter, not as
a politician.
In '6S he stumped Madison par
ish as Democrat, in the interests
of Seymour and Blair. Later, he
became Parish Judge. How did
he become Parish Judge? Why, at
the solicitation Of some of the lea d.
ing Democrats of this parish who
represented to him that by becom-
ing candidate he could keep that
office from being held by a negro or
a carpet-bagger. That he could OBJ
tain the colored vote, and that I'M
less he consented to run, the office
would be filled by some negro poll
tician or white carpet-bagger. He
consented and was elected, and re-
elected, holding the Office up to
the time of its abolition in 1877.
Then in 1879, when men ofnerve
and determination were required,
he was selected by the Parish DEM
ocratic Executive Committee as
their candidate for Sheriff, to run
as a Democrat. tits not necessary
to go into the details of the cam
paign of 70. 1t was no campaign
of ease, and no tender-foot was
wanted, and Gen. Dennis was Sc
lected because he could fill the bill,
and would not weaken should there
come trying time.
This is the man who is classed
with the Republican leaders, and
whom the people of Madison par
ish are warned against. The TINES
is not the apologist of Gen. Dennis,
but the facts of the case are given
in common justice.
Now turn and look in another d.
rection. What can be thought of
man who, claiming to be a Demo-
crat, of Democrats, faithful tried |
and true, and a leader of a branch |
ofthe divided Democratic party in
this parish, who permits his per-
sonal dislike to carry him so far as
to publicly say, lit was necessary
TO do so, to beat Henry Holmes for
Sheriff, l would go in with the Mig
gers to do it. would put up anig-
ger and run him against him."
These may not be the eract words,
but they are pretty near it, and are
just exactly what the words meant.
Now take the two men just de-
scribed, although the name of the
last one is not mentioned, and
quietly think the matter over and
see which is the one most danger
Gus to the Democratic party. See
which one is most likely to assist
in turning your parish over to the
negro rule which so alarms the
Journal. Every true Democrat
ought to avoid the latter; turn from
him as from some poisonous rep
lie and depose him from leader
