B. e. Advocate: The treasury de-
partment has issued an official circular
stating that under the usual routine of
such business the sugar bounty will be
| paid within about a month after claims
have been filed with the internal reve-
nue. collector, provided the applications
are properly made out, with vouchers
and everything else in good shape.
There is always plenty of red tape IN
all bnisness before the federal depart
ments. and in this case the papers go
from the New Orleans collector to the
/ commissioner of internal revenue,
i AZ II. fi,o,, -fc,f fI,a
| first comptroller, thence to the register,
/ thence to the secretary of the treasury,
| thence to the United States treasurer,
where draft will be issued and for
ward back to the starting point, for de-

Gen. j. q. Cosgrove, in the Iast issne
of the Natchitoches Review, announces
t the severances of his connection with
that paper, which will in future be un-
der the control and management OF
Messrs. R. L. Caspari and S. J.. Hem
~ In their salutatory they make the
following statement as to the policy of
the paper:
1.-THE politics of the Review shall of
course remain Democratic. We shall
urge the acceptance by the people of
Louisiana of the S3l $50 900 offered by
Mr. Morris as license for the recharter
of his Lottery Company for twenty five
/ years. In the discussion of this ques.
ton, however, as in all others, we shall
/ refrain from the use of personalities, but
hold ourselves always ready to dissect
the politics of any man or the conduct
of any public official
Baton Rouge Advocate: The peos
] pie of Sabine rose in arms to suppress
free speech on the part of their fellow
citizens. Suppose this rule should pre-
vail everywhere in the State, and the
stronger side should compel the weaker
to submit to the logic of shot-guns and
Winchestefs The State would be
drenched in blood, from one end of it
to the other, in less than week. and
the questions at issue would be no
nearer settlement than they are to day.
Sabine has set criminal example, and
i it's violent temper will be rebuked b3
the general conservatism of the people
in the other parishes. IF not, we had
better surrender the experiment of free
government, and cali in receiver fol
the residue of liberty that may remain
to Us.
Daily States: Justice Samuel d
MeEnry has been indorsed for Governor
by nearly all the Democratic meetings
i that have been lately held in the Coun
Z try parishes, and it is evident that he
is the choice of majority of the people
Il regardless of faction. 1t seems certain
4 that If he will allow his name to be useG
because bic great popularity through
out the State is due to the fact that ht
was one of the best Governors thai
Louisiana has ever had and also becaus.
4 he is foremost in the State as the rep
i Tesentative of true Democracy and
white supremacy.
At recent republican ward meeting
in New 0rleans, Major Andrew Hero
