Of this vast country were also trans

ALEXANDRIA, La, AUGUST Is, 1885.

"When my time is out, God help
Ing me, I intend to devote my life
to visiting every community in the
State to denounce their horrid
crimes, far worse than slavery"
During Mr.. Fishers visit to Grew
Lake he timed the working hours !;
at 10 minutes to 5 o'clock in the
morning the men were hard atwork,
but one hour was allowed for din
ner. and they only stopped when
the heavy canopy Of heaven pre-
vented their further labors. How
many have been laid to rest under
the silent trees, God knows. 1t is
asserted that some have envied
them their fate, saying anything
was preferable to their life of ia
quisitorial torture. Mr.. Fisher,
however, counted twenty-five new
dug graves, in row, seven more
across the railroad track, and was
told "the woods were full of them"
How easy matter to seal with
secrecy forever the mouths Of con-
tradiction Beyond the pale Of
the law, the convict is never heard,
should he prove so defiant as to
brave the anger of his keeper
This is the class of evidence Major
Toler should have before him, and
we beg to assure that official he can
have it for the asking. Let him
persevere, "and generations yet un-
born will rise up to call him blessed"
Another incident connected with
the Crew Lake camps, and the
treatment of their prisoners, is re-
lated by Captain Jack Groome, of
this city. about four weeks since
he visited Delta, La, and saw two
emaciated humans lying prone on
the depot floor. They were con-
victs from Grew Lake camps, en-
route to a hospital. The guard was
without sufficient funds to carry
them through, and telegraphed for
permission to take them on by rail.
He received a telegraphic reply tc
wait for a boat. Some boats would
not take them, and there they were
for days-one with both legs gone
Stuffed off from frost bite, the othel
a wreck of bones, painful to look
upon. Let Major Toler investigate
and for the fair name Of our sistel
State cease not until there is nj
longer a question Of doubt concern
ing the treatment of prisoners a

"DON'T GIVE ME AWAY"
Says a Voice from Crew Lake Con-
vict Camps.
What District Attorney Tolcr Cen
Learn It the Proper Per-
sons are SunaaV0u-
ed Before
Him.

The letter of District Attorney
Toler, announced as published in
an Alexandria, La, Of yesterday,
has revived the interest heretofore
manifested in the Grew Lake con-
Wet camps. This able State At
torney, from whom the people ex-
pect so much, lit is inferred from q
telegram to the Picay,s'se of the 4th
inst.,) has almost abandoned the
hope of obtaining an investigation
into the alleged inhumanity charg-
ed against the Penitentiary lessees
and their managers at Grew Lake
camps, because forsooth Mr.. Frank
j. Fisher, of this city, and Mr.. Jas.
Riley, of Galveston, Texas, have
not responded to his request that
they appear before the Richland
Parish Grand Jury in September
and make the necessary charges
against the accused lessees Of the
Louisiana State Penitentiary. Ma
jor Toler is too hasty in the matter.
As far as Mr.: Fisher is concerned,
we have it from his lips, his interest
in the matter is aroused, and for no
other reason than to contribute to
the relief of poor, degraded and suf-
fering humanity, he has determined
to attend the meeting of the Rich
land Parish Court has written Ma
| ior Toler to that effect. Upon the
receipt of the Picayeme here, con-
tanning the telegram above alluded
to, he again wrote Major Toler and
reiterates his intention to be pres
ent. There is no question but what
Mr.. Riley will attend and prose
cute the case.
In abiding to Mr.. Fisher, the
Post said, few days since, that in
whatever direction his testimony
might be cast it would carry the
weight of conviction with it. This
gentleman has been interviewed in
regard to his visit to the camps. Il
will be remembered that he accom-.
panied young Riley when he Went
in search of his brothers remains
Mr.. Fisher has read the reported in
vettigation of the Monroe newspa
pers of the affair, and is not at al
surprised at the result or their DIES
cription of the camps. He does no
impugn the motives of the pres
one iota; but he knows as we'll a

tiguous averaged 100000 bales per
year, all Of which was transported
by steamboats, to this port. The
sugar crop had also assumed large
proportions. Then we could count
eight regular steamboats, in the
Shreveport trade, two to Hurricane
Bluffs, six to Jefferson, Tex, three
to Minden, four for upper Red Riv-
er, and three in the Grand Ecore
Ecore and Natchitoches trade; be-
sides six small boats from Shreve-
port to the lakes and bayous; total,
~ boats. Among these were q
number Of magnificent side-wheel
steamers carrying from 1000 to $500

What has become of this vast
steamboat business The answer
is that six great railroads penetrate
the valley of this territory, and
have diverted almost the entire
trade to the Atlantic ports and the
large cities of the West. What is
the condition of the Red River
steamboating to-day Only 81,
900 bales of cotton has come out of
the river by steamboats, the past
season. Contrast this with 100000
that came out each season during
the period we write of and see the
loss. Now we have three or four
sternwheel boats in the Shreveport
trade during the season; none to
Hurricane Bluffs; none to Jefer-
son i; none to Upper Red River;
only one to Grand Ecore, and oc-
casionally Que to Minden, showing
that the business Of the river has
departed 10 other places. If the
navigation of this river were i'm
proved by the United States gov
eminent so that we, could have
good low water navigation during
the summer and fall season, a por-
ton of this lost trade could be re-
gained by steamboats,. We are Of
the impression that the coming sea-
son will be one of the best we have
had on this river for twenty years
past. The cotton crop will be i'm
mense. We think the steamboats,
Twill bring out Of this river three
times as much cotton as last year
or say $50, bales. This will be
) a great revival over former years
and all parties will rejoice. This
: will give our present line naviga
ting this stream chance to make
what they lost in the last two OF
three seasons.-["Old Timer" IL
