 Death of the Belle of Putney.
 The valuable trotting horse Belle of Put ney, owned by Jacob Broschart, which was so badly wounded last Monday on the Boule- ward, died yesterday morning at 5 o'clock. Mr. Brosehart had owned her for four years past. She was very docile and intelligent animal.
 Belle of Putney was foaled in Putney, Vt, nearly fourteen years ago, and came into the hands of Jarvis Joslyn, who sold her to Samuel Johnson when she was three years old. Johnson sold her to Mir. Parker of Meriden, who soon afterwards died. His widow drove the mare for three years, and then Joslyn bought her back again and sold her to Edward A. Chatfeld for $1, 800. Again Joslyn obtained her by trade and sold her to Mr. Broschart four years ago. The Belle has 8 record of 2:40 and has been in many races, winning in all. Before her present owner she has done her mile In 2;35 and 2:32, and could be put to 2:25 on mile track any time.
 Mr Broschart has been offered large sums for his mare by Boston and New York par ties. The morning of the accident he says he would have refused $5, GOO for her. He is willing to leave the question of damages to any fair-minded referee.

About two weeks ago negro was
hung for murder, at Colfax in Grant
parish. Previously he was to have been
prosecuted for some crime that would
have sent him to the penitentiary, if
convicted and to get clear of witness
in the case, another negro, he waylaid
and killed him, pounding his head to a
jelly with brick and cutting his
throat. A negro boy saw the murder
committed. When arrested he con
fessed the crime. On the gallows he
said he had made peace with God, got
religion and was going to heaven he
also gave the spectators some good adj
vice which he had better practiced dur
ing his own life. 1t is a curious thing
that this man, aftera life of crime, got
enough religion after being condemned
to be hung, to take him to heaven /;
while, if he had been a good man all
his life, and died without religion, he
would have gone to hell.

Shreveport Democrat, July 18: "The
people of the Seventh Ward of this par
ish feel outraged at the action of Gov.
McEnery in appointing Mr.. G.. A. Col
Quit a member of the police jury for
that ward. Mr.. COlquitt was not the
choice of the people by a very large,
large majority, and Gov. McEnery well
knew it, but in Difference to the
wishes of his claquers in this city,

In this city talk of holding an lndigna-
ton meeting, and we hope they will,
although it will have no effect on the
Governor or his agents. The ring ma
nipulators will smile serenely and pro-
coed with their little schemes all the
same.n
just SO. WHAT'S the use therefore
of an Indignation meeting-a mere
waste of time and wind Better hold
an indignation meeting against those
members of the legislature who voted
against the repeal of the police jury law
which makes it the duty of the Cover
nor to appoint police Jurors. The law
does not compel him nor make it his
duty, to consult the people, a political
party, or faction Of political party,
as to the character of his appointments.
That he consults his personal friends,
we have no doubt but that is his right.
The police jury law is an outrage upon
the liberties of the people; it takes
away from them the right of making
their parochial laws through represen-
tatives elected by themselves. The po-
lice jurors Of the respective parishes do
not represent the people, who did not
elect them, but they represent the Gov
ernor who appointed them. Depriying
the people of the right to elect them, is
despotic, and tends to enslave the peo-
ole. That the Governor may make some
good appointments, does not make the
matter any less despotic : and it is nc
good reason why the people should de-
sire to be slaves. All the municipal cor
porations elect their own town councils,
and they are all subordinate to the po-
lice juries but the people have not the
privilege Of electing the latter. Let the
indignation meeting be held against the
members of the legislature who voted
against the repeal of the police jury law
and let them be asked to resign; and
let the people take good care chat they,
or any like them, be never again elected
to the legislature.

Selma (Ala.l Times "The Tuskagee
News lays down the broad proposition
that the State has perfect right to re-
quire the convicts to perform any LABOR
which is voluntarily performed by any
OF her citizens. Is the felon better than
the free miner? If he is, then our pro-
position falls to the ground, Would
the State have right to compel q con-
vict to attend concert at a female
college. Ifnot, then our contempora-
ry's proposition falls to the ground"
A good deal of nonsense has been in
dulged in, in this State, about convict
labor and free labor There is no diff
ference. Laboris the same in the alb
stract, and the character OF the person
who labors does not affect the charac-
ter of the work. A good job done by a
lot of convicts is much more satisfacto-
~ to the party who pays for it, than a
bad job done by lot OF Sinking free
lnborers. Labor is not disgraceful, and
eonvicts can not make it so; but from
the large number of people who avoid
labor entirely, or partially, and half do
what necessity or the urgent demands
of hungry stomach compels them to
do, it might be supposed that all labor
was dishonorable. A free person can la
Dor side by side with a penitentiary
convict without being contami-
mated, as far as the labor
is concerned and how often do
men associate with PEG pie who, they
know, ought to be in the penitentiary.
The gospel minister is not contamina-
ted by associating with his sinful flock !;
the Judge, jury and officers Of court, are
not contaminated by trying criminal
and sending him to the penitentiary ;
how then can it hurt men who have not
been convicted Of crime to do the same
kind OF work that is performed by con-
yicts. Penitentiary conVicts are practi-
cally better than church members, as a
whole; for among them there are few
er crimes of murder, theft, swindling,
adultery, seduction, sabbath breaking,
whisky drinking, etc.

Another war between France and
Germany does not seem improbable.
judging from the reports tuat reach us
70 the effect that riots have occurred ID
Paris recently, in which the German
dag was grossly insulted by the excita-
bic Parislalls. This, it is stated, will
compel Germany to demand satisfac-
ton OF France, and, if the latter fails to
promptly and satisfactorily make
amends for the wrong done, the former
will proceed to declare war and slickD
the latter IN the most approved fashion.

That is singular justice for Germany
to undertake to thrash all France, on
account of the conduct Of few Paris

During the congressional campaign of
1882, when the Times-D Democrat wanted
one of its own pets to succeed Mr.. E.
John Ellis in Congress, it assailed him
yiciously, and made him ont one of the
worst political characters that infest
this State. But Mr.. Ellis was elected.
Since that time events have come to
light that show En-. Ellis not to be as
good representative of the people as
they once thought; but while he has
declined in the good opinion of many
ne has gone up in the opinion of the
Times-Democrat itsays:
We had occasion to indulge in some
criticism not altogether complimentary
to Mr.. Ellis during his candidacy in
1882, but candOr c0mpelB us to say that
after careful scrutiny of his conduct
during the past two years we are COM
PEELED to admit that he has been an eff
Gent representative.
We do not know whether Mr.. Ellis
will stand for reelection, but feel as
SuEed that it will be difficult for the
second Congressional District to find a
man who will more ably or more ener-
getically represent its interest"
As Mr.. Ellis was opposed to the for
feiture of the Backbone land grant, it
seems to us he is more the representa-
tive Of the interest Of the railroads than
of the people.
