The New Orleans Pelican, the
leading Republican organ Of the
State, says that in many of the
country parishes the negroes are
preparing to leave the State, be-
cause their votes we're not counted
for Warmoth. This is all bosh, for
the negroes are now principally
Democrats, particularly Nichols
Democrats. The Pelican forgets
that Nichols appointed many ne-
groes to Office when he was Govern
or before, and the negroes have ev-
cry reason to expect this again,
and hence, they almost unanimous
ly voted for him. -DeSoto Dem.

Extinction of Slavery i'm Brazil.
IN. O. Pisayune.I

N. o. Pisayune.J
Some time ago the Congress or
Parliament of Brazil enacted a
law providing for the emancipation
of all the slaves in the empire by
certain gradual processes, the de-
tails of which were left to the au-
thorities of the several provinces.
Many of the slave owners at once
put the law into operation, setting
free all the people held by them in
bondage, but in many parts of the
country there was so much opposi-
ton to the movement that the exc
cution of the law was delayed as
long as possible. The sudden and
rapid increase in the number of
freedmen in all parts of the coun-
try, however, soon had the effect
either of qulckening the consciences
of the planters who were still hold
ing slaves or of demonstrating to
them that there was no longer
profit in maintaing the institution
of slavery, and reports from Rio
de Janeiro bring the news that
emancipation is being put into eff
feet now as rapidly as arrange
ments can be made. All the slaves
in Rio will be set free by the Goth
of June next.

When a man comes into the Of
fee and planks down the cash, and
says: "Send me your paper for a
year." that means business. When
one says: IL want your paper, but
haven't got the money now" that's
all right. When he takes it out of
the postofice for several years and
then sends it back refused, that's
meanness. When a man spends
from ten cents to a dollar for ci-
gars or beer, and says he can't af-
ford to take his home paper, that's
a-no such thing. When q man
borrows his neighbours paper to
read every week, that's cheek.-Ex.

Town Talk is pleased to publish
the fact that the town of Alexan-
dria, inside of twelve months, will
have one Of the largest oil mills in
the United States located here, pro-
vided the town council gives lease
for SO years, of lot on Casson
street on which the mill can be
erected, which will be no expense
to the town, but of incalculable ben
eft to all classes of citizens. A
mill large enough to work up all
the cotton seed that will now be re-
ceivsd here by river and rail, would
have to employ not less than $50
men all the year. Certain New
Orleans capitalists have guaranteed
that if the town council will lease
them a lot on Casson street, just
above the compress building, for
SO years, free of charge, that they
will invest their money in the en-
terprise, and that the mill will be
running inside of twelve months
from date. With the present ar
rangemsnt between the Red River
and Coast line and the Texas and
Pacific railroad Co., which is for a
term Of years, nearly all the cot
ton seed in the Red river valley in
Louisiana, at least sc, 900 tons, will
now come to Alexandria, and any
one can see the great saving it
would be to work this seed up here
and ship oil and oil cake direct TO
the markets of the United States
instead of paying freight on bulky
cotton seed to New. Orleans q dis
lance of 100 miles. It will take a
very large mill to work up $4,000
tons per annum.-Alex. 7. 7,

The SuItana Disaster.

ST. LOUIS, May THE awful
explosion on the steamer Sultana
near Memphis, some twenty-three
years ago, in which nearly 1000
Union soldiers lost their lives, has
always been q mystery. The sur
vivors at their reunion have recently
made a number of statements re-
garding the affair, but the most
sensational story has been told by
resident of this city, William G.
Streeter. His statement fixes the
explosion as a result of design. He
claims that q noted Confederate
blockade runner and mail carrier
named Rob't. Lowden, better known
during the war as Charles Dale,
was author of the terrible disaster.
Streeter claims that Lowden told
him, after the close of the war,
that while the Sultana lay at the
Memphis wharf he smuggled
aboard q large lump of coal in
which was concealed torpedo
This he deposited on the fuel pile
in front of the boilers for the ex-
press purpose of causing the de-
struction of the boat. Whether
the responsibility for the awful
crime rests solely with Lowden, or
whether he was acting under the
directions of others, Streeter is un-
able to say. Lowden had an adven-
turous career, being captured sew
eral times while running blokades,
and once narrowly escaped execu-
ton. What has become of him is
not known.
