E! tute the parish executive committee
with myself as chairman, and the first
intimation given out that any body dis
pnted the fact is, Mr.. Estlette's card
| in last weeks Courier.
| OF the executive committee plevioCs-
| ly in office and of whicho Mr.. Estilette
was chairman, there were seven pres
ent as members of the convention, ard
| not one of them, so far as the record
dlscloses, made any opposition to the
reorganization. No body made opposi-
| ton except Mr.. Garland, who did not
dispute the authority of the convention
to reorganize, but who opposed it Oh
| the ground of policy.
Since that time, Mr.. Estilette has put up
no claim to official position in the party
until his card appeared ! have in tue
mean time in connection with the COM
mlttce Of which | am the head ly
notice published in the parish papeis,
called the party together in convention.
A candidate for the Senate has been
dominated and elected by the party ard
Ny. Lstllette, though assuming to iIi.4-
self the authority and office OF chair
man OF the executive committee CAS-
we now learn) kept his pretensions to
himself all this time when he should
have exercised his rights if lie thought
he had any.
But he has not only estopped himself
by failing to assert his pretensions at
the proper time; he has himself ex-
pressIy recognized my office as chair
man of the Executive Committee. He
has sought from me and obtained nsy
signature as chairman of the Executive
Committee to recommendation of a
friend of his, seeking federal office here,
he himself with bis own hand, writing
after my signature my official character
and name in the party. He also ar
piled for and secured the names Of
other members of the committee Of
which am chairman. (Mr. Pelrodin,
and MIR. Ogden, [ recall now and as
they inform me, got them to sign as
members of the committee.
hHi pdlllCuldI III slFlDS all these
details, because intend that the demo
Gratis of this parish shall understand
well who will be responsible, should
this move result in bringing upon us
again the dissension and war of factions
which formerly existed in this parish.
| have heard it stated that Mr.. Esti-
lette has received some sort of a com
munication from some political func-
tlonary or other at distance, and that
this communication, addressed to him
as Chairman of the Committee, is tie
pretext for his present step. Mr. Est
lette knOrs that no man or set of men
at New Orleans or Baton Rouge or else
where has authority to invest him with
the control of the democratic party of
this parish. 1t would be an insult to
the democracy for Mr.. Estlette to pre-
tend that he is the head of the party q
this parish by virtue of any authority
Or commission, other than that of a
convention of the party itself.

Tt is difficult to ind a white man in
the parish of St. Landry, this side of
the line of the proposed parish of "Aca-
dia," who is not opposed to division. A
few politicians about Opelousas, en-
tered into promises, it is reported, even
as far back as the campaign of 1884, to
assist some citizens in that section in
obtaining new parish and occasion
of the burning of the courthouse was
seized upon to precipitate the matter.
But these politicians have no influence
to carry out their promises, so far as to
controlling the mass OF the vi. to vote !;
the only hope for the new parish is in
securing the solid colored vote. The
opposition of the whites is based main
~ on two reasons as matter OF pure
sentiment, they resent any proposition
to divide or reduce in size and import
ance the old empire parish of st. Ian
dry and they object emphatically to
having this Democratic parish turned
into a Republican one, to having a
white majority turned into a colored
majority, with the inevitable political
and race disturbances such as occurred
here eighteen or twenty years ago.
Since the disturbances at that time, the
parish has been comparatively peaceful
and happy, and they do not want to see
this condition changed. If the colored
people are wise, they will take the same
stand.

Mr.. EDITOR.
In my last | lay considerable stress
on the peculiar characteristics of the
COW kind: which is of great impor
tance-as we hear of many strangers
wishing to engage in stock raising ?
We of late read letter of Mr.. Hill
yard, describing Mr.. Longs stock farm
Oh the NermilliOn (who is a successful
stock man in Kentucky this farm he
describes as favorably located, with
good pasture docs not say if it contains
shade trees or not) but the loss of stock
short horns is enormous; and il read
by strangers, is calculated to deter
others in stock raising; it no other
mode is adapted and, he fails to adj
wise a different mode of improving
stock; now mark, Mr.. Longs expe-
rience is in Kentucky, did he hear of
such failure on DR.. Robertson's farm
at Mountville st. Landry 9no. and why F.;
because he (the Doctor informs as he
does not recommend importing north
ern cows-bW the butls-and breed up.
The sudden death of imported stock of
the cow kind has been known for
years-but strange to say we have new
er known the first attempt to investi-
gate the why and vi erefore. of their
sudden death; yet majority Of I'M
porters were Physicians-a class, who
are or we would expect them given to
investigation.
As horses do much better here when
imported than cows, we would suggest
by examining-we would discover two
very marked differences-in constitu-
ton. By observation we see that
horned cattle bolt corn and pass it un-
digested-hence we reason weak diges-
ton. In work or travelling they are more
easily fatigued; than a horse therefore
we conclude they have small lungs; if
so would this not go to prove they
have weak vitality, and not able sud-
denly to bear our climate.
Some things, we have obserred-in
early spring when the grass first
sprouts-cows eat it--have tile scowers
and many had this disease, and even
horses had it. Even beeves on the
prairie do not fatten in rainy season !;
as in one moderately dry-by the
learned simple reason is given-too
much water dilutes the food-then they
need dryer food; to supply this def
cheney. Would it not pay a land owner
or company,-to get some one to write
up what stock Of each kind to Import
and how to feed and care for them new
er forgetting that cows have the poorest
Judgment in selecting food.
His remarks about the pasture feed
ing several hundred more of stock; is
most fatal error. If you over stock
pasture-eating all the grass close
doGn; the first freeze, destroys your
pasture,-for the remainder of the
CONTEMPLATING no old grass to shelter
the young grass,-which may spring up
in winter. None but those residing in
a country some years can describe the
things best adapted to that country.

Last week Mr.. Estilette published a
call in the Courier for the meeting OF
defunct Democratic committee. Seve-
raj of this dead committee OF Mr.. Estl-
lette's became members of the succeed
ing committee, and served on the latter.
SO the demise of MI. Estilette's COM
mittee was recognized and acknowl-
edged by this action OF some OF its own
members. But it seems that Mr.. EStl-
lette himself considered his committee
dead or .tunctus 0ticiO, for he applied to
DR.. r. H. Littell, president of the Dem
ocratic committee appointed by the last
Democratic parish convention, for his
official signature as such. By what right
does Mr.. Estilette seek to bring this
dead committee to life !? How will he
Justify such conduct before the Demo-
cratic party of the parish ? Informa-
ton on this subject will be found in the
address of DR.. r. H. Littell, president
Of the Democratic committee published
in another column of this paper. We
are certain that an attempt to create
dissension in the Democratic ranks,
and the evident policy to rule OF ruin
the party, will not find many adherents
when this matter is understood and
the simple publication of the facts
makes it plain.

from the country was in town, and
meeting on the streets our young
colored townsman, Mr.. Charles Jones,

Henry Thomas, was asked by the latter
if he had heard of the war. Mr.. Jones
had got hold of the wrong end or rath-
er no end, of the prospect OF war be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
on account of the Cutting affair. The
countryman asked, what war? Mr..
Jones replied: Why, the war between
Louisiana and Tennessee; you see
Louisiana wants to make one State out
Of both and Tennessee aint willing to
it, and We have all got to go and fight
for it.
