BATON ROUGE IN THE NEXT

The candidacy of Mr.. Boatner
for the White succession seems to

every day. The North Louisiana

The Young Mems Business League
of New Orleans, is making great
flourish now about what they are GO
ing to do. They had better turn
their attention to this part OF the
field, and bear in mind that New Or-
leans furnishes nothing to this burg
of ours, and to our parish; in fact,
we have not seen a New Orleans
drummer for one year, and the New
Orleans boats in this trade have had
to quit running because they had nc

The bearer of that once famous
name opened his campaign for re-
election to Congress at Lexington
Ky., on Saturday last. In presence
of 8, 900 people who wildly greeted

finally alluded to his late trial for
breach of promise with Madeline
Pollard. Responding to the
charge of hypocrisy in taking a
leading part in RELIGIOUS and moral
movements, while lie. ling a double

making atonement for his secret

and doing everything in his power
to keep others from following hif
footsteps. We have often heard Of

THE LEGISLATURE AND PARISH
PRISONERS.

One OF the hrst outies VI 0no
Legislature converting at Baton
Rouge will be to empower the
Police Juries and incorporated
towns to work the prisoners who are
serving their time in the parish or
town prison. The present system
of punishment, as undergone in the
parish prison, is really farclcal'
The prisoners are fed, clothed at
the tax payers expenses during the
thine of their confinement in the jail;
in the winter, they are provided
with good FIRE; and in the Summer,
| it is really more comfortable to stay
in a shady place, even if it is called
: a Jail! than to have to work out In
the field with the thermometer reg
istering 95 Q in the shade. 1t has
come to this that the common darkey
does not mind the Jail at all; when
; in Jail he has more food than he has
at home; he is warmed at the public
expense during the winter; he has
not to trouble himself about fire
wood; and in the summer he has
comfortable place to stay, and above
e all, nothing to do. The parish pay
= his board at the rate of 40 cents
It day, and If he stays two years, TO
j. instance, in the Jail, he will hay'

We refer in another column to the
apathy of the New Orleans merchants
in falling to secure the trade that
Justly belongs to them. Their pros
poets are growing beautifully less
day after day. The Natchez mer-
chants are invading the Atchafalaya
country, and shipping their goods
directly by steamer from Natchez
there. st. Louis is selling goods at
the very door of New Orleans. The
firm of Scharff & Bernheimer OF St
Louis charter boats to send out theil
freight to the Red and Ouachit:
rivers. There is now on its way t
Monroe, chartered by that firm, tn
steamer John Howard grooming un
der a cargo of merchandise, ever,
pound of which was sold before
left ST. Louis. The cargo aggre
gates $500 tons, andis composed Q
1000 barrels of -four, 200 boxes 9
provision, 5000 bags of corn an
$500 packages Of groceries an
sundries. 1t would take 200 box cal
tocarry the Howard's load. And TIL
goes 100 miles from st. Louis,
be delivered within 200 miles fro
New Orleans; and this is the thir
steamer that has been freighted 2
that firm alone this season. III
only boat leaving New Orleans 4
yicksburg now is the Natchez, an
she has light trips every week.
What are the New Orleans me
chants thinking about!
