disgust over the recreancy of the man
for whom the Republican party. and
this state has done so much. lie says.
st. John, who came to this state
f'riendless, poor and without name,

One of the most unfair and dishon-
orable statements of the campaign
thus far comes from that extremely
virtuous and independent" newspa-
per, the New York Evening Post.
That paper parades the names Of the
New York Herald, Evening Telegram.
Boston Herald, Springfield Republic
can, Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia
Times, Chicago Times, and Chicago
News as papers that have bolted
Blaine and Logan's nomination. The
Chicago Tribune declares the facts 10
be that not one of these paper ever
supported Republican candidate for
President since the party was found
ed or they were started.

nevertheless. This sentiment Blaine
represents and embodies, and it makes
him friends who would never be his
friends otherwise.
These politicians, Independents
and Democrats, who imagine that this
sort of Unborn passion. avOwed or hid
den, is Il thing that can be despised in
a presidential canvass, do not consider
the facts with adequate wisdom. Mr..
Blaine is much more difficult candi-
date TO deal with successfully than
those who judge from superficial indi-
cations may believe"

1t has been conceded that Blaine will
have as large vote in New York "a
Garfield had in 1850. Garfield had
800, 5i4 votes in the state, or 10000
more than Cleveland had in 1881
Cleveland received his heavy majority
through the folly Of Republicans, but
even the New York Post claims that
his aggregate vote should lac he nomi-
mated for president would not he as
large as his vote for governor was in
1882.

DIsGUsTED SOLDIERS.

A feeling of intense dissatisfaction was
created among the members Of the Louis
lana Field Artillery and Washington Ar
tillery by their recent visit to the town Of
New Iberia, whittier they we're dispatched
to bolster up the authority Of a District
Judge, Clerk of Court and Sheriff who were
defeated by the people but counted in I'M
der the operations of our Infamous election
law, and whose pretentions were set at de-
fiance by an outraged populace. The loss
of time and absence from business duties
were seriously felt by many of the city mi
litiamen, and we have no doubt the nature
of the service they were called upon to
render was source of humiliation that
added no little to the measure of their in
dignation. At all events, the Louisiana
Field Artillery has voted to withdraw from
the State militia, and become an independ-
emit command, while the Washington Ar
tillery has forwarded a petition to Gov. Nc
Emery asking that he shall not henceforth
order them out for service beyond the ims
its of the parish of Orleans. It appears
to be the general impression, in the first
place, that there was no real necessity or
adequate excuse for calling out the militia,
and in the second, that the threatening
state of affairs which existed in Iberia was
due to the rascally conspiracy-counte-
nanced and abetted by the State Admins
tration-to steal the election and foist set
of beaten and obnoxious officials upon the
people regardless of consequences. We do
not wonder that the citizen soldiers became
disguised when they discovered the true
nature of The scheme they were employed
to further and that self respect led them
to deplore their enforced participation in
the unclean business.

Gannoneers of Donaldson.
And the Cofeld Guards are dead!
And the Ascension Rifles are born!
lie roi est mort: vive te roi!
Verify, the good old parish of Ascension il
prolific in begetting soldiers.
But tell US, pray tell us, where are the Can
noneers?
The answer will reveal facts which the good
people of Ascension should know-facts which
may cause some to pause and reflect.
Their fathers and their mothers gave them
arms, and trusting in God, they sent them with
Captain Maurin to defend their rights and their
honor.
They were the only company who bore the
name of Donaldsonville. their native home:
They wrote that name with their own blood
on bright page OF our history.
And they confess that they did believe their
people would be proud OF the record they had
made.
In every battle they conquered the respect of
their enemies.
But they failed to find favor in the sight Of
the elite of Ascension, who under the name of
Coheld Guards made gallant charge between
them and the people they had served SO long
and SO faithfully, and captured the best part Of
their already too scanty supplies.
Inundated. But when a rich planter refused
to help a dying Cannoneer whose body bore the
scars of honorable wounds, then
Ingratitude more strong than traitors arms
Quite vanquished them.'
Vanqnish? Not much. What is left of them
are holding the flag which the good ladies of
Ascension gave the day they reorgani zed their
old battery.
Having carried the other, which their moth
ers and sweethearts gave the day they kissed
from Yorktown to Appomattox Courthouse,
they think they can hold the other until the
sons of those ladies become men worthy to car
~ it.
1t is thus they understand the wisdom of those
words which are older than Christianity, but
not as old as Patriotism, which shall ever re-
main as young as Liberty:
The glory of children are their fathers"

Two OF K1ND.-We tender dilatory yet
hearty congratulations to our esteemed
friends Mr.. and Mrs. L. W. Conerly of
Woodlawn place, East Baton Rouge parish,
upon the advent in their household of a
pair Of sweet little infants of the gentler
sex, who made their appearance on the 9th
ult. Friend Conerly being prominently
identified with the Soaptail political fac
ton in his parish, the arrival of these twins
is regarded as another Soaptail victory in
the seventh ward, and unless the Bobtails
in some other portion of the parish can
score q pair of boy babies, there will be no
probability of an early adjustment of polit-
ical differences in East Baton Rouge. There
must be some basis for compromise and
this seems to be about the only chance to
accomplish that end. We are happy to
learn that mother and daughters are doing
well and that DR.. ". A.. Burris, the attend
ing physician, is confident of bringing the
happy father through all right. :
