It mat seea incredible. but it is
nevertheless fact, that there are
some editors in Louisiana outside of a
lunatic asylum, who are beginning at
this early day to discuss the question
of who shall be the next governor OF
Louisiana. II is TO be regretted That
there is no law upon the Statute books
te punish so serious an offence against
the peace and prosperity of the COM
m0nwealth.
Ii has been a curse to Louisiana
that TIE people have devoted SO much
of their lime to politics. During the
Nichols McEnery campaign the whole
State was torn from centre to circum-
ference fer fifteen long weary months
with struggle that for fierce and
bitter denuncation,-and even the
killing of some Of our best mems
without parallel in the history Of
this nation. The days and hours that
should have been devoted to upbuild.
ing our country, to making two blades
of grass grow where but one had
grown before, were spent in wild and
profitless discussion, in creating bitter
animosities and severing old ties and
friendships. Surely We had enough
of politics in the campaign to which
we refer. Can it be possible thai
after snch an experience for ffteer
months there are men so insane as t.
desire three years Of the same kline
of strife ard turmoil? The people o
Richland-and, we doubt not, tn,
people of all Northeast Louisiana
protest against this insane and foolish
business Of trying to make governor
three years before he will be needed
We are busy now endeavoring to i'm
prove this neck of the woods, and W,
are unwilling to turn aside from GU
profitable employment to swap lie
as to the respective merits of allege'
statesmen for the governorship O
Louisiana. This is great State, ant
it is going to be prosperous State
if the journalistic geese who are for
ever cackling over politics can onl
be squelched. That they may b
squelched is the earnest prayer of al
good people in Louisiana.

The New Orleans States has gotten

since it charged the people Of Vernon

even the sheriff OF the parish have
denounced the report as grossly false,

At this point Mr.. Naif asked the

again that all may know, and he said
First: The work will commence at
Vidalia Immediately after the tax is
voted. The cars are to run on the

Second: Road must be graded from
