The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1889-10-19

The charter Of the town OF Lafayette,
adopted In 1886, providing for the
qualification Of voters, restricts the
right Of suffrage to "all free white male
citizens 81 years OF age" This pro-
vision has never been amended to
conform to the 18th amendment Of the
United States constitution and In the
trial Of the prisoners charged with IL
legally interfering with the recent mu.
nicIpal election the prisoners were &C.
quilted on the ground that negroes
having no right to vote they were
guilty of no violation OF law In pre-,
venting them from voting. 1t was
further shown that the election was IL
legal under the town charter because II
was being conducted by three commits
sioners and not by the sheriff and
clerk as is provided BY the charter.
lafayette appears to be unterriaed and
unreconssructed.

THE CORONA DISASTER.
Colonel Dumont Inclines to the Dyna-
* mite Theory.
IPicayune Special.l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Col. Du-
mont, supervising inspector of steam
vessels, said to day that he was much
interested in the Investigation Of the
Corona disaster, and was inclined to
the theory that the explosion had been
caused by dynamite, as several disas-
tiers Of the kind on steam vessels trans
porting the explosive had taken place
in other parts of the country.
He thought there might be
something in the dynamite theory
from the fact that no one appeared TO
have been scalded, as would probably
have been the case in boiler explo-
sion.
In speaking generally OF the inspec-
ton service In the Louisiana district
Colonel Dumont referred In the most
complimentary terms to Captain Matt
O'Brien, the supervising inspector OF
the district, who, he said, was an ex-
cellent officer.

MONROE, Ia. Oc.ober3, 1859.
We, the undersigned, visited Union City,
Tenn, by invitation of the Southern Hedge
Co., to inspect and report on their new sys-
we firmly believe it to be the solution Of the
hedge fence; it Is everything that they have
claimed for it and we find points Of excel.
lence which we think peculiarly adapted
under strong enough to turn any animal
and close enough to turn pig; we find it
easily controlled and does not impoverish
the land, vegetation growing near the fence
of trimming is nominal. We find it not only
q very strong and durable fence but orna-
mental and attractive, does not sprout on
side and can cultivate as close to it a. to any
straight fence; we find no objection TO it but
earnestly recommend it to the planters OF
this section. A. A. CANN,

THE ConIsa CONGRESS-.

Mr.. Roger @. Mills and Mr.. Clifton
r. Breckinridge, speaking for the
Democratic side, have outlined . con-
oiliatory policy for the Democratic
minority In Congress but we very
much doubt II they will be allowed to
carry out their patriotic purpose.
The policy Of the Naturalization
seems to preclude any such idea. :.
Lately Mr.. Harrison has been max
ing some very signiflcant appoint
meuts In the South-significant be-
cause the appointees represent smould-
ering snimosltles-and the natural In
fernce is that they foreshadow pol
icy Of aggression and oppression to-
wards the South. --.ia'7
The desires of the administration
thus being made known beforehand,
the cue will be taken-for that matter
It has already been taksn-by the
leaders Of the majority in Congress and
measures for the subJugation of the
South will be the order Of the day and
our Mr.. Mile and Mr.. breckenridge
will have to do the fighting they had
hoped would be spared them. HF
The present attempt OF the Republt-
cans to steal the Democratic State OF
Montana Ia order to increase their
working majority In Congress, makes
their policy PLATO. They will not hes
itate at any crime to perpetuate their
power, aud this they propose to do ii
| It can be accomplished by the pessage
of sectional oppressive measures d.
rected against the South. They have

eslher ssnice and agreeable session
they have hoped for will not be theirs
to enjoy. They are valtent men, how
ever, and we bid them grid up their
IoIus, buckle on their armer, aud meet
the Quay battalion like the true son:
Of the South they are.

will intimately affect New Orleans
interests because several of the lead
ing lines Of road centering here belong
to the two syndicates involved in the
The Southern Pacific Railroad sys |
tenn and the Mississippi Valley Route
belong to the Huntington syndicate,
as well as the Morgan Line of steam>
ships to New York, while the Gould
system is represented here by the
Texas and Pacific Railroad. The con-
solidation Of these various lines, as
we'll as the great Gould roads in the
West, would give the combination ex-
ceptional facilities, not only for east
and west traffic, but also complete
north and south system, supplemented
by q thorough control Of the coast
wise trade by means of the steamships
Of the Morgan Line.
Such an arrangement cannot but be
beneficial to New Orleans ~ tina mani
agement of the combination se.k to
improve the most natural terminus
for their entire system. The Gould
lines of the West traverse the entire
grain belt, and could readily divert the
proportion of such products destined
for export to New Orleans as the most
convenient seaport for the section west
of the Mississippi. The Southern Pa.
clhc Railroad offers the best facilities
for ans-continental shipments and
naturally all this traffic must pass
