The late John M. Avery of New
Iberia was the discoverer of the won
derful body of salt on Salt Island IN
1861.
Salt was becoming scarce in the
Confederacy, and, how to secure it was
one of the difficult problems OF that
time. 1t was known that by digging
into the earth Is or 90 feet g salty
water could be found from which salt
conld be obtained by evaporation. The
youth was sent by his father, with
some negroes to dig we'll for that
purpose. After digging some 20 feet
in depth without obtaining any water,
night coming on he ordered the men to
dig d spadeful or two in the center OF
the we'll. In doing this they struck
that cake of solid salt, of which. neither
hight depth or width is yet known.
It furnished salt for the states of Louisi-
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Alabama during the war and people
came hundreds of miles in wagons to
obtain a supply. 1t is one of the won
ders of the age and will ever SC
| remain.

The Purpose of this Days Mass
Meeting.

We should regret to see any action
taken to day, squirting at disregard
of the law. We have no idea that any
thing of the kind is contemplated.
But we do wish to see the meeting take
an open and well defined position 10 re-
gard to the appointment of Harry
Bloch, as the postmaster at this place.
Personally, we make no war upon
him because he is colored man. We
freely recognize the fact that he is not
blamable for his color. But there is
principle underlying his appointment,
which we hold to be of paramount i'm
portance.
We believe in white supremacy
under all circumstances. Demagogues
may cater to the colored race as much
as they please, bnt whenever it results
in snbordinating the superior to the in
feTior class of men---to foisting them in
authority and investing them with Of
fetal power, we demand halt.
1t is we'll known that we have among
us white Republicans, whom We re-
spect for their intelligence-moral
worth and integrity--men who would
have accepted the appointment with
contentment on the part of orr white
population. Why was not one of them
recommended and appointed The
answer is a plain one. The party
leaders desired to use the colored po-
palation in the next election. They
knew it was strong, and that unless
pap was thrown to Cerberus he would
bite They feared it, and thought to
appease it. The whites are apparently
to be divided--their denunciations are
to be heard along the horizon. And i
| is apprehended that new friends-neW
combinations of political forees-will
be required. The eolored race as a
mass has nothing to aspire to, but to
court smile, and win admiration under
the shadow Of official dignity and au-
thority. Bloch's recommendation
would be well pleasing to the voters OF
bis race, and what of popularity was
/ lost on one hand, might be regained
and compensated at least by the new
recruits allured by timely stratagem.
We forbear further expressions on
the subject, knowing that every one
who reads and can think, or will think
impartlally, will see the force of the
truth we utter. It all results in the
fact that we are hamiliated, to crafty
such purposes, and are told that oni
exposure of it, is unseen and unheard
Of. We hopeit may be seen and heard
of in the mass meeting of to-day. W.
wish the white men of Louisiana t
know and to see that we have not los
all self-respect, and confidence in oul
race to dominate our interests. W.
want moribund officials to understand
that they cannot bold with hounds ane
/ run with the hare. Be prudent, law
abiding, but emphatically explicit, a
to the reasonable rights OF the white
race.
