We this week give place to two
communications, both of which UNI
der the rules of correct journalism
should have been consigned to the
waste basket The first purports
to be 1.-THE Proof Of the corrupt

Roman Catholic church, and yet it
does not contain one single toto of
proof to that effect, although it
lays big foundation as though
something was yet to be let drop
that is to astonish the natives. As
the challenge has been given we
allow this controversy, but must
caution Old Crusty to be short and
to the point, as we have but little
space and cannot afford to have
this thing last all the summer.
Old Crusty must confine himself
within the limits of one column.
The other communication is silly

An Excellent Law.

A new law for the selection OF
grand jurors has been successfully
engineered to its final passage by
Representative G. G. Dunn, of
Grant parish, and it only lacks the
governors signature and promul-
CATION to become a law. The
act mo. 1881 provides that the
grand jurors shall be selected from
among the most intelligent repre-
sentative men of the parish, one
from each ward, and the balance
from the parish at large. Also that
the grand jurors SO selected and
appointed shall assemble at the
court house eight days before the
commencement of the jury terms
of the court, and investigate all
violation of Law, the district attorney
also being required to meet with
them. This is most important
law, and we doubt not will meet
with universal approval.

Recreant Representatives.


Those members of the Assembly
who voted in favor of the lottery
amendment being submitted to the
people, cannot escape the odium of
their treachery to the Democratic
party. Any man with an ounce Of
brains ought to know that after the
lottery amendment has passed both
branches of the Legislature it must
go to the people for ratification or
rejection, and no Democratic con-
vention or primary can in an way
control or prevent it from being
voted on. The Republican vote,
with a few traitors, can carry the
amendment over the Democratic
vote of the State; and thus have
our Representatives sold us out
and stultified themselves before
the bar of an aroused and indignant
party. Under the circumstances
and in the estimation of most of our
citizens. the gentlemen may take
either horn of the dilemma they
choose-be placed in the category
of knave or fool, as they may elect
-knave if they have allowed any
consideration to swerve them in
their party fidelity, and fool if they
did not know their action would
place the measure entirely beyond
party control. Such conclusions
are harsh, and may not be merited,
but they have too much seeming to
admit of satisfactory contradiction
by the suspected. No explanation
can justify our Legislators in AFRO
eating to themselves to dictate an
issue to the party without consult
ing beforehand the. party behest.

Reasons Against the Lottery.
(Comtinued from last scesk.)

(C0Nttuued from tQSt tCeek.)
According to the last census
Louisiana was richer per capita
than most of her Southern sisters.
Richer than Georgia, than Missis-
sippi, than North Carolina and
Tennessee. And yet we hear of no
lotteries to save any of those States
from bankruptcy and financial ruin.
But, again, if this lottery is mere
cuisines" proposition, how does
the State stand in the bargains
loser or gamer? We think it clear
that she would be loser. This sum
appears large; but it is deceiving;
and is really much less than should
be paid under the revenue laws as
they now exist, and less than what
is paid by legitimate callings with
like amount of capital.
Again, viewing this act in its
relation to other articles of the
Constitution, we find that it is in
direct conflict with article 207,
which prescribes what property
shall be exempt from taxation, and
none other. It supersedes article
234, which provides that all COR
porations shall hold their charters
subject to provisions of the Con-
stiutiod Itsupersedes article 235,
which declares that sthe exercise
of the police power of the State
shall never be abridged nor 80 con-
strued as to permit corporations to
conduct their business in such a,
manner as to infringe the equal
rights of individuals or the general
well being of the State" In this,
that it grants grants q monopoly
not permitted to other corporations
or to individuals, and it exempts
this corporation from the payment
of all taxation license IA duty ex-
acted from every other class of
citizens. It supersedes article 238
in this, that it permits the issuance
of stock on the payment of not less
than 40 per cent Of the capital; al
lows the corporation to do business
on q capital Of 1,O00,00 when
the capital is fixed at $4,000, 900.
It places the grant in the citizen of
another State not subject to the
jurisdiction of our courts. Itfxes
no domicile for the corporation;
and although pretending to organ
ize q cooperation. divests our courts
of any Jurisdiction over, it because,
granted in the first place to an
alien, there is no prohibition
against his regranting to other
aliens, and in this article 236 Is.
directly superseded And lastly,
this proposition should be rejected
because it is dangerous and cor
rutping in our politics, and its
adoption would be q constant men,
ace to free and pure government in
Louisiana Aspiring men would
seek its favor and court its smiles
and the road to political advance
ment would not lie through the
gateway of honesty, ability and
devotion to the public veal, but
through the doors of the lottery

Editor Colfir Chronicle;
Will you please allow space in
your valuable paper to publish the
following clipping from the New
Delta, giving the names of the
noble, true and honest represents
tives that have been SO firm in re-
fecting the sentiments of the ma
jority of the honest and best citi-
zens of Louisiana. Yes, the names
of men that have been weighed in
the balances Of morality and hon.
esty, and not found wanting. We
desire to see the roll of honor pub
lished in order that the citizens of
Grant parish may learn the list of
names by heart and hand them
down to their children to love and
initiate the men who have done
everything that could have been ex-
pected of of them, to save the hon
or of our State and preserve her
from the hands of the despoiler.

Editor Coltar Chronicle:
We note in your issue of the 18th,
you say ut now leaks out that the
lottery company paid 81 to so per
day for men to ride over the par
ishes to get signatures to petitions
favoring the lottery. This accounts
for the activity of the young men
who lately canvassed Grant parish. y
We, the undersigned carried
the petitions and received neither
81 nor SO. So we wish you would
correct your error or give us your
authority that we may do SO our
selves.

1t was publicly announced by q
Senator in the halls of the Legis-
lature that reliable information to
this effect was at hand. In addi-
ton to this, young man who car
ried around one of the petitions in
Grant parish, stated to some of
our most prominent citizens that
he did not take any stock in the
lottery, and was really ashamed to
be caught in any such business,
but he was hard up and needed the
money he soas getting for taking
around the lottery petition. Now,
we don't know who got money in
Grant parish, and are sorry if our
friends above got none of the
Doodle; but as they fail to state
positively that their action was
thoroughly patriotic, and that their
active and sudden canvass was
made without remuneration or the
hope of reward, we are still some
what at a loss to account for SO
much work on short notice. We
are glad to have the boys onrecord
in this matter, however, as these
are days in which all are expected
to show their hand, and there is
like knowing where to find
your men.

Some Of the Marvellous Work Pro.
duced by Them.

It is very curious to an outsider to
watch the operations of braiding ma
chine. In one factory there are some
ten different kinds of machines kept in
operation. The most curious Of all is a
machine whose special domain is the So
called sapplique" work. It performs
three tasks at one and the same time,
says the Ladies' Wear Review When
properly adjusted tiny knife cuts out,
according to the pretty design intended,
the figures from the upper layer Of cloth,
while, simultaneously, the machine sews
these figures into the layer of cloth un-
derneath, the upper layer being gener-
ally of medium thickness, while the lower
one is cloth of the thickest, warmest
and most expensive kind, such as is suit
able for lady's cloak.
The effect thus produced ara
besques, beautifully curving lines, form
ing auintricate, yet pleasing. pattern, Iy-
ing on the cloth underneath--is very
pretty indeed Generally two cloths Of
shades differing so much as to form
fine contrast are chosen. The delicate
mechanism of this machine is especially
noticeable in the cutting out of the up
per layer of cloth. For, while the whole
process of cutting it and sewing it on
tight at the same time is done SO quickly
under the hands of a skillful operator
that yard of this applique work is
made within five minutes, the knife must
be so nicely adjusted that it will cut ex-
actly through the thickness of the upper
cloth, and not the hundredth part of an
inch deeper. Another machine, which
is likewise the product of very ingen-
ious brain, is the so-called ''three-spoop'
machine. Two threads of worsted and
one thread of silk cording are manipu-
lated by this machine in such a manner
as to lay down the worsted on the cloth
and to spin the silk right over and all
around it. The effect thus produced is
that Of very thick silk braid, the whole
being more durable than silk through
out, yet much less expensive.
The beading machine, by means of
which those most elegant ornaments on
woman's dress those glistening ara
besques of beading are put on, Is am
other triumph of mechanical genius.
The same may be said of the feather
edge machine, which does the so-called
sunbeam" and rainbow work, en-
broidering the shades, which are gradu-
ally toned down ;or the cornelly machine,
which does the cording; and still more
so of the soutache machine, which does
the simplest and yet one of the most
effective styles of embroidery.

tinctness. A little south of where the
hardest fighting was done there is q
peculiar depression. The,country road
curves to avoid one side of it. The
other half breaks in upon cornfield.
Natives call the place o sink. Water
collects there. Bloody Pond" the
place is called. Many Of the veterans
walked down to look at it as soon as
they left the cars. As they stood
around the edges they told of the
sights they saw there in the closing
hours of the battle.
There is more forest than farm in
the topography of Chickamauga.
Springs are few, and, although each
farmhouse has a well, there was no
water supply for a fighting army. IN
making provision for the 1900 veter-
ans the Chattanooga committee had
barrels Of water hauled from consid-
erable distance. It is not difficult 10
understand what must. have been the
condition when 100000 soldiers were
marching and countermarching, charg-
ing and retreating, over these ridges,
across these fields, and through these
pine forest glades.
So long as they were resting on
Chickamauga River. or so long rs they
could reach it from q reasonable dis
tance, the Confederates relied upon
that for water. But Sunday carried
the tide OF battle two miles to the west
Of the river. And then it was that
Bloody Pond received its name and be-
came one of the historic spots on the
field. Wounded men by hundreds
dragged themselves toward the pond.
Some. crazed by feverish thirst, stag
gered to the edee and threw them
selves in. Many died. as they lay
there within sight, begging for Just q
drop. When Monday morning came
there was no more horrifying scene
than that presented Ia and around
Bloody Pond. Corpses foated on the
water and corpses lay higher than the
pine cones all around the edges. Both
armies were represented in the ghastly
scene.
@We could drink anything in the
form of water those days." one of the
veterans said, as he looked at Bloody
Pond.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

California Redwood Trees.

Redwood trees are not what are known
as the great trees of California, the
Sequoia gigantea, which have been found
only in small groves on the Sierra Ne
vada, at height Of about 4,500 feet
above the sea level But the redwood
bears q strong resemblance to the mann
moth tree, and is sometimes mistaken for.
it, as it frequently grows to q height of
800 feet and diameter of sixteen feet.
In telling these trees, saws are now
largely used instead Of axes--the ordi-
nary cross-cut saw, usually from ten to.
twelve feet in length, with the ak,
wedges, and sledge hammer. logging
railways are largely used in transporting
the logs to the mill, and in many cases to.
carry the lumber from the mill to tide
water or the place Of shipment. When
the railroad runs into the tract Of tim
Der being cut, donkey engines are used
to load the logs on the trucks and for
other heavy work usually done byhorses
or oxen.
The redwood forests are generally in
hilly country, 80 that in many cases it
has been matter Of no great difficulty
to get the lumber to, tidewater or to q
railroad leading to market. The timber
is light and elose-grained, much resem-
bling in appearance red cedar but dark
